OraSure Announces 2019 First Quarter Financial Results

BETHLEHEM, PA – May 8, 2019 – (Globe Newswire) – OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a leader in point-of-care diagnostic tests and specimen collection devices, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 

Our first quarter 2019 performance was in line with our expectations for both the top and bottom lines,” said Stephen S. Tang, Ph.D., President and CEO of OraSure Technologies. “We are optimistic about the second quarter and full-year performance of our underlying businesses, despite the impact of a previously announced change in market approach by a large consumer genetics customer. The foundations of our business are strong, and we believe we are on the right path with our innovation-driven growth strategy.”

 

“We continue to diversify our molecular collections business and are seeing opportunity in key segments of the genomics market. Our microbiome business has continued to grow year-over-year in every quarter since we first began breaking out its revenues in 2016. Our HCV business grew both domestically and internationally, and we expect our OraQuick® HIV sales to show solid growth for the full year. Our recent acquisitions are just the first examples of implementation of our growth strategy and we remain committed to making additional strategic growth investments.”

Financial and Business Highlights

 

In January 2019, the Company acquired innovation growth companies Novosanis NV and CoreBiome, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.3 million.  Novosanis is a leader in urine sample collection devices targeted primarily at the liquid biopsy, sexually transmitted infection screening, and urological cancer markets, and CoreBiome is an early-stage microbiome services provider that accelerates discovery for customers in the pharmaceutical, agricultural and research communities.  The sales generated by these new subsidiaries are included in the revenues of the Company’s molecular collection systems segment.

 

The Company’s financial performance during the first quarter of 2019 was in line with expectations.  Net revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $30.1 million, a 28% decrease from the first quarter of 2018. Net product revenues were $28.3 million, representing a 26% decrease from the first quarter of 2018.  These decreases were primarily the result of a previously-disclosed change in marketing strategy by a large consumer genetics customer.


 

International sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HCV product of $1.5 million increased 119% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018.  Domestic sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HCV product of $1.8 million increased 12% over the comparable period of the prior year.

 

International sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HIV products of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 decreased 30% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Domestic sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HIV products of $4.3 million decreased 14% compared to the comparable period of the prior year.  

 

Molecular collection systems revenues including royalty income and other revenues were $11.9 million during the first quarter of 2019, a decline of 40% from the first quarter of 2018.  Molecular collection systems product and service revenues were $10.6 million during the first quarter of 2019, which represents a 42% decrease from the first quarter of 2018.

 

Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $3.3 million, or $0.05 per share, which compares to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.03 per share, for the first quarter of 2018. Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 included acquisition-related charges of $1.3 million for the change in fair value of contingent consideration and $597,000 of transaction costs.  These charges had a combined impact of approximately $0.03 per share. The net loss for the first quarter of 2018 included $6.4 million of pre-tax transition costs, or $0.10 per share, associated with executive management changes which occurred in 2018. These transition costs primarily consisted of non-cash stock compensation charges.

 

Cash and investments totaled $183.6 million at March 31, 2019.

 

Financial Results

Net product revenues for the first quarter of 2019 decreased 26% from the comparable period of 2018, primarily as a result of lower sales of the Company’s molecular collections products and OraQuick® HIV tests, partially offset by higher OraQuick® HCV test sales.

International sales of the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 included $709,000 and $985,000 respectively of support payments under the Company’s charitable support agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“Gates Foundation”).

Royalty income from a litigation settlement associated with a molecular collection device was $1.1 million and $1.6 million for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other revenues, excluding royalty income, were $706,000 and $2.1 million for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively.  Other revenues decreased due to lower funding received from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority and lower cost reimbursement from the Gates Foundation.  

Gross profit percentage was 60% and 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2109 and 2018, respectively. Gross profit percentage in 2019 benefited from improved product mix associated with an increase in sales of higher gross profit products and lower royalty expense, partially offset by lower royalty income.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, operating expenses were $21.9 million, a decrease of $3.1 million from the $25.0 million reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease was largely due to the absence of $6.4 million of transition costs associated with executive management changes that occurred in the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by a non-cash charge of $1.3 million for the change in fair value of contingent consideration associated with the recent acquisition of CoreBiome and Novosanis, the incremental operating expenses of CoreBiome and Novosanis, and $597,000 of transaction

costs associated with the recent acquisitions.  There were no similar acquisition costs in the first quarter of 2018.

The Company reported an operating loss of $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to an operating loss of $498,000 in the first quarter of 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $29,000 compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million recorded in the first quarter of 2018.  The decrease in income tax expense reflects the lower pre-tax income generated by the Company’s Canadian subsidiary in the current period and includes an income tax benefit generated by Novosanis.  

The Company’s cash and investment balance totaled $183.6 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $201.3 million at December 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company generated $528,000 in cash from operations.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2019 Outlook

The Company expects second quarter 2019 net revenues to range from $40.0 million to $42.0 million and is projecting net income of approximately $0.02 per share.  For the full year of 2019, the Company is expecting net revenues to range from $170.0 million to $175.0 million and is projecting net income of $0.22 to $0.24 per share. These projections do not account for the impact of changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration or any potential transaction costs related to future business development activity since those items cannot be fully determined at this time.

“As in prior years, we expect the Company’s financial performance will progress and grow from our solid first quarter driven by both our core infectious disease and molecular collection businesses.  Our results also reflect performance by CoreBiome and Novosanis and the seasonality of certain parts of our business,” Dr. Tang said.  “It should be clear from our second quarter and full-year guidance that we anticipate a very strong second half of the year, reflecting full-year growth in all of our core strategic product lines, when the effect of the large consumer genetics customer’s change in market strategy is excluded.”
