Alere Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alere Inc. (NYSE: ALR), a global leader in rapid diagnostic tests, today announced that it has filed its Form 10-Q and reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.  

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $611 million, a 2% decrease compared to $623 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was primarily due to a $16 million decrease in BBI revenue, which was divested in November 2015, a $10 million decrease in revenue in our mail order diabetes business and the negative impact of $10 million in foreign currency exchange. These revenue decreases were partially offset by revenue increases of $17 million in infectious disease product sales, $5 million in revenue associated with the acquisition of US Diagnostics and $4 million in patient self-testing revenue. Organic growth during the second quarter of 2016 was 2%.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations during the second quarter of 2016 was $(35) million, or $(0.46) per basic and diluted share, compared to $15 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share in the prior year period. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $89 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $134 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline was driven primarily by $27 million in merger and legal expenses, $6 million in net foreign exchange losses compared to a $3 million gain in the prior year period and a $4 million increase in restructuring costs.

"With the filing of our second quarter 2016 Form 10-Q, we are now current in our financial filings and are on track to report our third quarter 2016 results within the normal time frame," said Namal Nawana, CEO of Alere. "We are pleased with the quarter-over-quarter improvement in revenue and organic growth in each of our three global business units. Our second quarter 2016 earnings were impacted by incremental costs associated with our pending merger and higher legal fees. In the second half of 2016, we will continue to execute on the performance improvement initiatives that we began earlier this year to drive both near-term and longer-term organic growth and profitability."

Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and organic growth, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing operations and organic growth to revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is shown in the table in this press release. The Company believes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and organic growth are useful to investors because these metrics are commonly used by investors to assess the unleveraged, pre-tax financial performance and operating results of ongoing business operations. The Company's management also uses non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and organic growth because the Company's management also believes that these are useful measures to evaluate operating performance and cash flows of the Company based on operational factors. It should also be noted that not all companies calculate non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and organic growth in the same manner and, accordingly, these measures presented in this press release may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Conference Call
As announced on February 1, 2016, Alere entered into a definitive agreement under which Abbott will acquire Alere for $56 per common share. Due to the pending transaction, Alere will no longer hold conference calls to discuss its quarterly financial results.
