OSI Systems Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results

OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) today announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015.

“We are pleased to announce our third quarter financial results,” said Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems’ Chairman and CEO. “We achieved record third quarter sales and profitability, excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges. While we are encouraged by our performance this year, we expect to continue to make appropriate business adjustments as the global macroeconomic environment evolves.”

The Company reported revenues of $215.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015, an increase of 6% as compared to the same period a year ago. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $13.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges, and for fiscal 2014 the impact of tax elections to accelerate depreciation in our turnkey program in Mexico, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 would have been $15.9 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to net income of $14.3 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported revenues of $691.6 million, an increase of 7% over the same period a year ago. Net income in this period was $42.7 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $25.8 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges, and for fiscal 2014 the impact of tax elections to accelerate depreciation in our turnkey program in Mexico, net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 would have been $47.4 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $39.9 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, for the comparable period in the prior year.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s backlog was approximately $0.6 billion and the non-turnkey book to bill ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 1.0. During the third quarter, the Company generated $23.1 million of free cash flow, which contributed to record free cash flow of $77.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015.

Mr. Chopra continued, “During the third quarter, our Security division’s revenues rose modestly by 4% over the prior year third quarter. We are pleased with the market’s reception of our new RTT™ 110 (Real Time Tomography) explosives detection systems (EDS). We have received several orders for this product, including a very strategic win in Europe, the recently-announced $27 million order from the Leonardo da Vinci – Fiumicino Airport in Rome. We believe that the potential of RTT as European airports meet the latest requirement for hold baggage screening, as well as a robust pipeline of opportunities in both our product and turnkey screening solutions businesses position this division well for the future.”

Mr. Chopra further commented, “Third quarter sales in our Healthcare division increased by 14% over the prior year third quarter, driven by organic growth as well as the impact of an acquisition completed in the first quarter. The launch of new products and indications of a rebound in the North American market provide an improving outlook about the performance of this division.”

Mr. Chopra concluded, “In our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division, operational efficiencies coupled with a more favorable product mix resulted in strong operating margin expansion. In addition, we are taking advantage of an opportunity to consolidate facilities within our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division and reducing costs in our Healthcare and Security divisions. These actions have commenced and are expected to be largely completed this fiscal year. We expect the benefit from these cost reductions will be partially realized in our fourth quarter and more fully thereafter.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook

Subject to the risks described herein, the Company is updating its guidance and reducing its outlook for fiscal 2015 revenues and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. The Company currently anticipates fiscal 2015 sales to be between $950 million and $975 million, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $3.42 to $3.60, excluding the impact of impairment, restructuring and other charges. This revised guidance reflects lower than previously expected sales due to the adverse impact of the strong dollar as well as reduced sales volumes primarily in the Security division due to timing issues with less favorable product mix.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures; Non-GAAP Figures

This earnings release includes a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, and discussion of free cash flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, plus net interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of stock-based compensation, and restructuring and other charges. Not all companies use identical calculations and, accordingly, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and does not purport to be a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company's financial performance that we believe is useful to investors because the excluded items may vary significantly in timing or amounts and/or may obscure trends useful in evaluating and comparing the Company's operating activities across reporting periods. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and because the Company's credit agreements use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with certain covenants.

Discussion of adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share figures and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2015 is provided to allow for the comparison of underlying earnings, net of restructuring and other charges. We believe that these non-GAAP figures provide additional insight into the ongoing operations of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s results primarily because they exclude amounts that we do not view as reflective of ongoing operating results when planning and forecasting and when assessing the performance of the Company’s business. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate the comparison of results for current periods and guidance for future periods with results for past periods.

This earnings release also discusses Free Cash Flow, which the Company defines as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment. We believe that this metric is useful to investors as a measure of cash generated by business operations that can be used to repay debt obligations, to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions and to repurchase stock of the Company, among other items. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share, net income to Adjusted EBITDA, and cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow are provided in the accompanying tables.
