Life Technologies Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results and $200 Million of Debt Repayment

Second quarter GAAP revenue of $833 million, and non-GAAP revenue of $839 million

Second quarter GAAP earnings per share of $0.22, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.79

Free cash flow of $105 million in the second quarter

CARLSBAD, CA, July 28, 2009 — Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2009. Non-GAAP revenues for the first quarter were $839 million, an increase of 2 percent over second quarter revenues of $822 million in 2008, as if Invitrogen and Applied Biosystems had been combined. Excluding the impact from currency exchange rates, revenues grew 7.5 percent over the same period in the previous year.

“I am very pleased with our strong financial results in the second quarter, despite continued challenges in the global macro-economic situation,” said Greg Lucier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Life Technologies. “These results, as well as our accelerated integration efforts, are a testament to the strong operating rigor prevalent throughout our company. In the second quarter, we were also able to demonstrate the value of combining Invitrogen and Applied Biosystems in other tangible ways. I’m particularly proud of the role we played in helping public health authorities around the globe quickly and efficiently respond to the outbreak of the H1N1 flu virus. Our ability to provide a complete solution to our customers in this critical time underscored not only the value of this combination, but also the impact Life Technologies has today on the health and welfare of people around the world.”

First quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.22 which includes $0.42 per share of acquisition related amortization expense, $0.04 per share of non-cash interest expense associated with the adoption of FSP APB14-1, and $0.11 per share of business integration costs and other

expenses. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes these items, diluted earning per share were $0.79.

Analysis of Second Quarter 2009 Results

	•		Second quarter non-GAAP 2009 revenues increased 2 percent over the previous year, including the negative impact of foreign currency exchange. Revenue growth without the impact from currency was 7.5 percent, and was a result of strong growth in all regions and product areas. Revenue from foreign currency exchange had a negative effect on reported revenue growth, resulting in a 5.5 point impact to growth rates.

	•		Gross margin in the second quarter on a non-GAAP basis was 66.7 percent, an improvement of 140 basis points over the prior year quarter. Improvements from integration related synergies, price optimization and increased productivity were offset slightly by the negative impact from product mix and currency.

	•		Non-GAAP operating margin was 27.2 percent in the second quarter, representing an increase of approximately 410 basis points over the same period in 2008. The increase in operating margin was a result of improved gross margins, as well as synergy realization from the Applied Biosystems-Invitrogen merger.

	•		Second quarter non-GAAP tax rate was 29.3 percent.

	•		Diluted weighted shares outstanding were 179 million in the second quarter.

	•		Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter was $146.8 million. Second quarter capital expenditures were $41.9 million and resulting free cash flow was $104.9 million. The company ended the quarter with $583 million in cash & short-term investments, including $90.8 million held as restricted cash.

Business Highlights:

	•		Molecular Biology Systems division revenue was $399 million in the second quarter, approximately 3 percent higher than 2008. Revenue growth excluding the impact from currency was 8 percent. This growth was a result of broad demand across the portfolio, including a meaningful impact from sales of Influenza A (H1N1) related products.

	•		Genetic Systems division revenue was $233 million in the second quarter, an increase of 5.5 percent over the same period last year. Revenue growth excluding the impact from currency was 11 percent. This increase was a result of mid-teens’ growth for consumable kits and CE instruments in the applied markets and continued acceleration of sales for next generation sequencing systems, offset slightly by low single-digit declines in CE instruments and consumables in the research market.

	•		Cell Systems division revenue was $201 million in the first quarter, a decrease of 2 percent over the same period last year. Revenue growth excluding the impact from currency was 4.5 percent. This growth was a result of increased demand in almost all product areas.

	•		The Mass Spectrometry division, the company’s joint venture with MDS Analytical Technologies, contributed $14.5 million in other income. This income was a result of $129 million in revenue with operating margin of 11.3 percent. Revenue declined 12 percent, excluding the impact from currency.

	•		Regional organic growth rates, excluding the impact from the company’s mass spectrometry joint venture, were as follows compared to the same quarter of the prior year: Americas and Europe increased 6%; Asia Pacific increased 30%; and Japan increased 1%.

	•		Integration programs continued to advance and are progressing faster than planned. The company increased its synergy realization target for the full year 2009 to $95 million from its previous target of $80 million.

	•		Second quarter company and technology highlights include:

	•		Introduction of new capillary electrophoresis (CE) 3500 Dx systems in certain European countries designed for the clinical diagnostics market. These platforms will provide state-of-the-art advancements in CE sequencing technology, and along with the 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR instrument, are indicative of the company’s broader foray into the molecular diagnostics market.

	•		The company acquired Cytonix Corporation for intellectual property related to advanced microfluidics-based digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) technology. Life Technologies plans to license this technology, as well as commercialize new products that can be used in a variety of applications ranging from next generation sequencing library quantification to molecular diagnostic assays.

	•		Certification of the TaqMan® Salmonella enterica Detection Kit for the identification of Salmonella in peanut butter through the new Emergency Response Validation program of the AOAC Research Institute.

	•		A licensing agreement with Zymera, Inc., enabling Zymera to use Life Technologies’ Qdot® nanocrystals to create new, self-illuminating quantum dot products to improve in vivo imaging, biomarker discovery and a growing number of biosensing applications.

	•		As part of the company’s original integration strategy to refine the product portfolio, the company announced the divesture of a small product line. The SQLLIMS business was sold to LabVantage Solutions, Inc. SQLLIMS is an enterprise laboratory information management system (LIMS) provider that manages the laboratory process lifecycle.

	•		$2 million worth of awards from the Life Technologies Foundation to three non-profit organizations for the support of: DNA collection to reduce human trafficking; training physicians on new genomic based technologies; and helping the public understand the importance of genetics through the refurbishment of a major scientific exhibit at the Science Museum in London.

Debt Repayment of $200 Million

Late last week, the company reduced its outstanding debt balance by repaying $200 million of its Senior Secured Term Loan B. This debt is priced at LIBOR plus 300 basis points, with a LIBOR floor of 300 basis points and has a remaining balance of approximately $800 million.

Fiscal Year 2009 Outlook

Subject to the risk factors detailed in the Safe Harbor Statement section of this release, the company increased its expectations for fiscal year 2009 financial performance. Organic revenues in the second half of 2009 are expected to increase in the mid single digits, including a small impact from NIH stimulus funds.
