Explanatory Note

This amendment is being filed by Life Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) to amend and revise the Company’s earnings release, dated November 1, 2012 (the “Prior Earnings Release”), previously furnished as Item 9.01 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 1, 2012. As announced in the Prior Earnings Release, the Company received an unfavorable verdict in a litigation matter just prior to filing its financial results and holding its conference call on November 1, 2012 for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012. In the litigation matter, the jury ruled that the Company had infringed intellectual property held by Enzo Biochem relating to CE sequencing products during the period 1998-2004 and gave a verdict in the amount of $48.5 million in favor of Enzo Biochem. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and intends to vigorously challenge it in the trial court and on appeal. The relevant patent expired in 2004, so the verdict does not have any effect on the Company’s CE business going forward. Although the Company is considering all its options in view of the judgment, including filing various post-trial motions and an appeal, the Company has recorded a charge of approximately $48.5 million related to the lawsuit in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. As a result, the Company’s previously reported third quarter Life Technologies GAAP net income will decrease from $97.4 million to $65.9 million, or from $0.55 to $0.37 per diluted share. The Company has provided revised financial statements and a reconciliation of the Consolidated Statements of Operations provided in the Prior Earnings Release to the revised Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s amended and revised earnings release, dated November 2, 2012, is being furnished as Item 9.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Item 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On November 2, 2012, Life Technologies Corporation, or the Company, issued an amended and revised earnings release regarding the Company’s financial results for the period ended September 30, 2012. The full text of the Company’s amended and revised earnings release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Certain of the information set forth in the amended and revised press release may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. We regularly have reported non-GAAP results for net income and earnings per share in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP results exclude merger related non-cash items and other costs. Additionally, the discussion surrounding sales performance related to these results excludes the impact of currency fluctuations period over period and acquisitions to measure core sales growth. This growth rate is referred to as organic growth.

Our financial results under GAAP include substantial non-cash charges and tax benefits related to acquired businesses. Our non-GAAP calculations of net income and earnings per share are limited because they do not reflect the entirety of our business costs. However, management believes that the non-GAAP presentation is a useful supplemental disclosure to investors as it provides an indication of the profitability and cash flows of the combined businesses apart from the costs related to acquisitions. Also included in the non-GAAP results are certain business transformation cash expenses which management does not believe are indicative of profitability for ongoing business activities. Management believes that this information is therefore useful to investors in analyzing and assessing our past and future operating performance.

In addition to the non-cash charges above, we exclude from our non-GAAP results the following costs:

 

   

Acquisition related amortization, depreciation, contingent consideration revaluation and asset or liability remeasurements;

 

   

In process research and development expenses or impairments;

 

   

Acquisition and divestiture related gains and losses;

 

   

Intangible asset impairment charges related to acquisition portfolio review;

 

   

Business consolidation costs required to realize cost synergies from combining our acquired entities with our existing operations;

 

   

Certain personnel, benefits, travel and third party costs associated with ongoing acquisition and business transformation activities;

 

   

Certain costs associated with rebranding and marketing activities;

 

   

Charges associated with the early repayment of debt and non-cash interest expense associated with convertible debt bifurcation;

 

   

Certain significant one-time events, and the related compensation impact, that are unlikely to recur in the foreseeable future; and

 

   

Tax changes and benefits associated with the above exclusions.

        Management views these costs as not indicative of the profitability or cash flows of its ongoing or future operations and excludes these costs as a supplemental disclosure to assist investors in evaluating and assessing our past and future operational performance. Management uses non-GAAP earnings as a primary indicator in planning and forecasting for future periods, including trending the Company’s core performance period over period. Management uses these non-GAAP earnings to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and uses these results to measure performance at a corporate level. The Company primarily uses non-GAAP earnings for evaluating management’s performance for compensation purposes.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, this information, including the financial results information included in Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and the financial information contained in such exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

Item 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(d) Exhibits.

CARLSBAD, CA, November 2, 2012 – Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) today issued a revision to the Company’s earnings release dated November 1, 2012 for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012. On November 1, 2012 the Company received an unfavorable verdict in its litigation with Enzo Biochem. The Company does not expect this verdict to have a material impact on its business going forward as this intellectual property was held by Enzo Biochem during the period 1998-2004 and the patent expired in 2004. Although the Company strongly disagrees with the verdict and intends to vigorously challenge it in the trial court and on appeal, the Company has recorded a charge of $48.5 million related to the lawsuit in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. As a result, the Company’s previously reported third quarter 2012 GAAP diluted earnings per share will decrease $0.18 per share from $0.55 per share to $0.37 per share. The verdict did not impact the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The Company has provided revised financial statements and reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP Net Income.

The full updated press release follows:

Life Technologies Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

Revenue of $911 million

GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.37, or $0.92 on a non-GAAP basis

Free Cash Flow of $177 million

Company repurchased $208 million of shares in the third quarter, total of $535 million year-to-date

CARLSBAD, CA, November 1, 2012 – Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Revenue for the third quarter was $911 million, a decrease of 1.9 percent over the $929 million reported for the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue growth for the quarter was 1.4 percent compared to the same period of the prior year.

“Our third quarter performance came in stronger than our expectations driven by a significant increase in Ion Torrent platform sales, as well as increased sales in our research consumables and forensics businesses,” said Gregory T. Lucier, chairman and chief executive officer of Life Technologies. “During the quarter, we made solid progress in expanding our operations and footprint in high growth and emerging markets, including entering into strategic partnerships for companion diagnostics, building the foundation for our Medical Sciences business and acquiring distributors in China and Chile. We achieved important milestones with several highly anticipated launches including the Ion Proton™ System, a platform whose speed, ease of use and affordability will democratize genome sequencing, and our Pervenio™ Lung RS test service, the first of its kind molecular test to identify early-stage lung cancer patients who are at high risk of reoccurrence following surgery.”


“We continue to demonstrate our commitment to returning capital to shareholders by repurchasing an additional $208 million worth of shares in the third quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to $535 million. Based on our performance year-to-date and end market assumptions, we are tightening the full year guidance range by increasing the bottom end by $0.05 and are now expecting non-GAAP earnings per share of $3.95 to $4.00.”

Life Technologies reported current quarter results compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Results are non-GAAP unless indicated otherwise. A full reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to GAAP can be found in the tables of today’s press release.

Analysis of Third Quarter 2012 Results

 

   

Third quarter revenue decreased 1.9 percent over the prior year. Revenue growth without the impact from currency was 1.4 percent.

 

   

Gross margin in the third quarter was 65.6 percent, approximately 50 basis points lower than the same period of the prior year primarily driven by unfavorable currency rates.

 

   

Operating margin was 28.0 percent in the third quarter, approximately 140 basis points lower than the same period of the prior year. Operating margin contraction was primarily due to unfavorable currency rates and increased investments in Greater China and Medical Sciences.

 

   

Third quarter tax rate was 27.3 percent.

 

   

Third quarter EPS was $0.92.

 

   

Diluted weighted shares outstanding were 177.3 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 9.6 million shares over the prior year. The decrease was a result of the continuation of the company’s share repurchase program, partially offset by shares issued for employee stock plans. The company repurchased $208 million or 4.4 million shares in the third quarter.

 

   

Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter was $197 million. Third quarter capital expenditures were $20 million, resulting in free cash flow of $177 million. The company ended the quarter with $299 million in cash and short-term investments.

Business Group Highlights

 

   

Research Consumables revenue was $384 million, a decrease of 3 percent compared to the prior year. Excluding the impact from currency, revenue for the business group grew 1 percent, primarily as a result of growth in our cell culture products, sample prep products and benchtop instruments.

 

   

Genetic Analysis revenue was $353 million in the third quarter, a decrease of 1 percent over the same period last year. Excluding the impact from currency, revenue increased 2 percent primarily as a result of increased sales of the Ion Torrent platform, including the Ion Proton™ System and the Ion PGM™ benchtop instruments, offset by an expected decline in SOLiD® instrument sales and lower sales of CE instruments, primarily due to one-time orders in the prior year quarter and the timing of sales.

 

   

Applied Sciences revenue was $174 million in the third quarter, flat compared to the same period last year. Excluding the impact from currency, revenue increased 3 percent, primarily due to forensics and higher sales of qPCR applied sciences instruments, offset by lower sales of CE instruments due to one-time orders in the prior year quarter, and an expected decline in BioProduction sales, which tend to fluctuate quarter to quarter.


   

Regional revenue growth rates excluding currency for the quarter compared to the same quarter of the prior year were as follows: the Americas declined 1 percent, Europe grew 2 percent, Asia Pacific grew 10 percent and Japan grew 4 percent.

Fiscal Year 2012 Outlook

Subject to the risk factors detailed in the Safe Harbor Statement section of this release, the company is updating its guidance. The company’s updated 2012 guidance is for organic revenue growth of approximately 2 percent over 2011 revenues of $3.7 billion. Additionally, the company is tightening the previously provided range by increasing the bottom by $0.05 and is now expecting non-GAAP earnings per share of $3.95 to $4.00. The company will provide further detail on its business outlook during the webcast today.

The Ion Proton™ System is for Research Use Only and not intended for use in diagnostic procedures.
