The Company also said that it was re-affirming its previously announced full fiscal year 2004 guidance of high single digit revenue growth, gross profit margins in the mid to high 40% range, and net earnings per share in the range of last year's earnings of $1.13. Brad Nutter, Haemonetics President and CEO, said, "In Q2 we focused on completing the previously announced operational reorganization. As a result, we strengthened our leadership team, flattened our organization structure, improved customer focus, enhanced accountability, and streamlined decision making. All of these factors enabled us to achieve our internal revenue and earnings target for the quarter and kept us on track to meet our objectives for the full fiscal year." FINANCIALHIGHLIGHTS The Company reported the following financial results for the second quarter and year-to-date: * Gross profit of $41 million in Q2:04, up 6% over Q2:03 and $81 million year to date, up 4% over fiscal 03 * Gross margin of 47% in Q2:04, up 260 basis points over Q2:03, and 46% fiscal year to date, up 20 basis points over fiscal 03 * Operating expenses of $32 million in Q2:04, up 12% over Q2:03 and $64 million year to date, up 10% over fiscal 03 * Operating income of $9 million in Q2:04, down 9% from Q2:03 and $17 million year to date, down 12% from fiscal 03 * Operating margin of 10% in Q2:04, down from 11% in Q2:03 and 10% year to date, down from 12% in fiscal 03 * Earnings per share were $0.23 in Q2:04, down from $0.27 in Q2:03 and $0.43 year to date, down from $0.53 in fiscal 03 Second quarter net earnings were negatively affected by the reorganization charge of $2.6 million ($0.07 per share) and an increase in tax rate from 31% to 36%. Second quarter revenue was $87 million, level with Q2:03, and fiscal year to date revenue is $176 million, up 4% over fiscal 03. Revenue for disposables and services was $84 million for the quarter, 6% over Q2:03 and $168 million year to date, 7% over fiscal 03. The Company showed balance sheet strength, highlighted by a $5 million inventory reduction and a cash reserve of $67 million. The Company achieved $20 million of cash flow from operations and finished goods inventory turns of 5.7. QUARTERLY PRODUCT LINE HIGHLIGHTS Plasma disposables revenue was $31 million, a 2% increase over Q2:03. The worldwide market for plasma collection disposables reflects volatility that is due to a current glut of plasma in the market. This mirrors past cycles in worldwide plasma collection. "The growth in Haemonetics' plasma business, while modest, is ahead of market trends and beat our internal expectations. We are pleased that we continue to gain market share," said Mr. Nutter. Blood bank disposables revenue was $27 million, a 7% increase over Q2:03. This growth exceeded our internal plans. Red cell disposables revenue was $5 million, a 47% increase over Q2:03. Red cell growth was 69% in the U.S. During the quarter, Haemonetics made excellent progress in three areas: * Gaining new customers - The Company gained three new customers, including two additional American Red Cross regions. * Growing collections at existing customers - Blood Systems continued its technology growth initiative, now collecting about 26% of its red cells system wide with Haemonetics technology. * Converting collections to filtration (white blood cell reduction) disposable kits - Currently, 31% of all U.S. double red cell collections with Haemonetics technology include filters. Surgical revenue was $17 million, a 2% increase over Q2:03, affected by recent declines in U.S. open-heart surgeries, shrinking the market for surgical blood salvage procedures. Substantial growth in end-user sales of the OrthoPAT(TM) system is expected to drive revenue growth in the second half of the year. The Company now expects annual growth in the high single digits, down modestly from previous forecasts. Miscellaneous and services revenue was $5 million, an 8% increase over Q2:03. The Fifth Dimension Information Systems ("5D") business, reported in the services line, showed success again this quarter. Haemonetics recently reported that Aventis Bio-Services, Inc. is implementing 5D's LOGIC(TM) software to manage all of Aventis' plasma transport operations in the U.S. and Germany. Aventis is the world's largest plasma collection company. WORLDWIDE REORGANIZATION COMPLETED Haemonetics completed its previously announced company-wide reorganization into two divisions to better service its customers. The reorganization will have a positive impact of $4 million for fiscal 05. FISCAL 2004 OUTLOOK Earlier in the week the Company announced that Baxter Healthcare Corporation assumed the obligations of exclusive Purchase and Supply Contracts between the Company and Alpha Therapeutics, as part of Baxter's acquisition of Alpha's plasma collection operations. Haemonetics and Baxter are discussing the parties' contractual obligations, and when completed, the Company will report what, if any, impact the closing by Baxter of a number of Alpha collection centers will have on Haemonetics' future revenue or earnings. "This fiscal year, we moved to annual guidance as we remain focused on the long term strength of the business. While there may be some change in the product line revenue mix, we are comfortable at this time that we will meet the financial targets we made at the outset of the year: revenue growth in the high single digits; gross margin in the mid to high 40% range; a modest improvement in operating margin; net income from operations ahead of last year; and net earnings per share comparable to last year despite the higher tax rate and a reorganization charge," said Mr. Nutter. Haemonetics will hold a conference call to review highlights of the quarter at 10:00 am eastern today. Interested parties can participate by calling (800) 231-5571 (US only) or (973) 935-8504.
