Bruker BioSciences Reports Significantly Improved Earnings and Cash Flows on Record Revenue of $297.6 Million For Full Year 2005

 

Company Reports Four Profitable Quarters and $41 Million Cash Flow from Operations in 2005

 

Billerica, Massachusetts, February 22, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Bruker BioSciences Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR) today reported fourth quarter 2005 revenue of $80.6 million, compared to revenue of $85.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Excluding foreign currency effects, revenue increased by 1%. For the full year 2005, revenue increased 5% to $297.6 million, compared to $284.4 million for the year 2004. Foreign currency effects did not have a material impact on full year revenue.

 

GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $1.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2004 of ($0.9) million, or ($0.01) per diluted share.

 

GAAP net income for the full year 2005 was $3.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($7.8) million, or ($0.09) per diluted share, for the full year 2004.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2005, positive operating cash flow of $15.4 million increased our cash position to $99.7 million. Cash generated from operations was $41.0 million for the full year 2005, compared to a use of cash of ($0.9) million during the full year 2004, and adjusted EBITDA was $26.9 million for the full year 2005, compared to $16.8 million for 2004.

 

Commenting on the fourth quarter and year 2005, Frank Laukien, President and CEO, said: “We have made solid progress in 2005, and I am particularly pleased with our improved profitability and good cash flow in the fourth quarter. Throughout the year 2005, we have improved our operating income and net income by growing revenue, improving our gross margins and by reducing expenses. Our continued commitment to improve our financial performance has resulted in four consecutive quarters of profitability.”

 

He continued: “I am also encouraged by the recent considerable strength in our new order bookings and our healthy year-end backlog. We believe that our performance-leading products and solutions, our strengthened global sales and service capabilities, and the additional technologies and accessible market segments from our recent acquisitions position us well for the future. Our financial goals for 2006 are:

                  revenue growth of approximately 10% compared to 2005,

                  at least a doubling of our 2005 EPS, and

                  continued strong cash flows from operations.

 

Looking further ahead, in 2007 we expect to reach industry-standard profitability, while maintaining above industry-standard top-line growth.”

 



 

William Knight, Chief Financial Officer, commented: “In addition to continuing improvements in our profitability during 2005, I am also pleased to see our strong cash position at the end of the year, even after closing two acquisitions in November 2005, and our strengthened balance sheet. We are entering 2006 with a solid backlog, positive momentum from our strong fourth quarter order bookings and exciting new products and market opportunities. We are optimistic that in 2006 our core businesses, as well as the additional market segments that we have entered via our recent acquisitions, will both contribute to above industry-average top-line growth and continued improvements in profitability.”

 

OPERATING BUSINESSES

 

Set forth below is selected financial information for Bruker BioSciences’ two operating businesses:  Bruker Daltonics (life science mass spectrometry and NBC detection tools business) and Bruker AXS (life science, materials research and industrial x-ray analysis tools business):

 

BRUKER DALTONICS

 

For the year 2005, revenue for the Bruker Daltonics business increased 6% to $161.4 million, from $152.6 million in 2004, and foreign currency effects were not material. For the year 2005, Bruker Daltonics’ revenue was derived 68% from life-science mass spectrometry systems, 12% from NBC detection systems, and 20% from after-market sales. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.1 million for the full year 2005, compared to $15.4 million for 2004.

 

BRUKER AXS

 

For the year 2005, revenue for the Bruker AXS business increased 4% to $137.4 million, from $132.6 million in 2004, and foreign currency effects were not material.

Adjusted EBITDA was $7.6 million for the full year 2005, compared to $4.8 million for 2004.

 

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as US GAAP operating income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization expense and write-down of demonstration equipment to net realizable value. We believe that the inclusion of this non-GAAP measure helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. However, the non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release is not meant to be a better presentation or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying tables.
