QUIDEL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS
SAN DIEGO, CA October 23, 2013 (MarketWired) Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL), a provider of rapid diagnostic testing solutions, cellular-based virology assays and molecular diagnostic systems, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third Quarter 2013 and Recent Highlights:
| Total revenues were $33.5 million as compared to $33.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. |
| Reported GAAP EPS of $(0.13) per share, as compared to GAAP EPS of $(0.02) per share in the third quarter of 2012, and non-GAAP EPS of $(0.02) per share, as compared to $0.08 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012. |
| Received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Sofia RSV Fluorescent Immunoassay (FIA). |
| Received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Sofia hCG Fluorescent Immunoassay (FIA). |
| Received 510(k) clearances from the FDA for the Quidel Molecular Influenza A+B assay and the Quidel Molecular RSV + hMPV assay, both for use on the QuantStudio Dx Real-Time PCR Instrument by Life Technologies. |
| Completed the acquisition of AnDiaTec, a German molecular diagnostics business, for approximately $2.6 million upfront and a 3-year, $4.7 million R&D earn-out. |
Third Quarter 2013 Results
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2013 were $33.5 million as compared to $33.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. Influenza sales increased in the quarter, but were offset by lower sales of Strep A and Pregnancy visual lateral flow products, relative to the third quarter of 2012.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $4.4 million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to net loss of $0.7 million, or $(0.02) per share, for the third quarter of 2012. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangibles and stock compensation expense, net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.6 million, or $(0.02) per share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012.
While revenues in the third quarter were only slightly favorable to last year, flu revenues increased 23% on the strength of Sofia sales. We also received FDA clearances for two Sofia assays in the third quarter that were timely, and can make a positive impact on future Sofia system placements, said Douglas Bryant, president and CEO of Quidel Corporation. On the molecular side, the acquisition of AnDiaTec broadens our molecular expertise and further accelerates our molecular assay development.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Total revenues were $125.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to $101.8 million for the same nine-month period in 2012. For the nine-month period in 2013, net income was $6.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $3.7 million, or $(0.11) per share, for the same nine-month period in 2012. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense and certain non-recurring tax items, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $14.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company is providing non-GAAP financial information to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and certain non-recurring tax items on earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share as a supplement to its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP.
Management is providing the adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per share information for the periods presented because it believes this enhances the comparison of the Companys financial performance from period-to-period, and to that of its competitors. This press release is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures is included in this press release as part of the attached financial tables.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve material risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Many possible events or factors could affect our future financial results and performance, such that our actual results and performance may differ materially from those that may be described or implied in the forward-looking statements. As such, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Differences in actual results and performance may arise as a result of a number of factors including, without limitation, fluctuations in our operating results resulting from seasonality; the timing of the onset, length and severity of cold and flu seasons; government and media attention focused on influenza and the related potential impact on humans from novel influenza viruses; adverse changes in competitive conditions in domestic and international markets; the reimbursement system currently in place and future changes to that system; changes in economic conditions in our domestic and international markets; changes in sales levels as it relates to the absorption of our fixed costs; lower than anticipated market penetration of our products; the quantity of our product in our distributors inventory or distribution channels and changes in the buying patterns of our distributors; our development of new technologies, products and markets; our development and protection of intellectual property; our reliance on a limited number of key distributors; our reliance on sales of our influenza diagnostics tests; our ability to manage our growth strategy, including our ability to integrate companies or technologies we have acquired or may acquire; intellectual property risks, including but not limited to, infringement litigation; limitations and covenants in our senior credit facility; that we may incur significant additional indebtedness; our need for additional funds to finance our operating needs; volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets; acceptance of our products among physicians and other healthcare providers; competition with other providers of POC diagnostic products; changes in government policies; adverse actions or delays in product reviews by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA); compliance with other government regulations, such as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard and disposal of hazardous substances; third-party reimbursement policies; our ability to meet demand for our products; interruptions in our supply of raw materials; product defects; business risks not covered by insurance; the loss of key personnel; international risks, including but not limited to, compliance with product registration requirements, exposure to currency exchange fluctuations, longer payment cycles, lower selling
prices and greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, reduced protection of intellectual property rights, political and economic instability, taxes, and diversion of lower priced international products into US markets; our failure to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting; volatility in our stock price; dilution resulting from future sales of our equity; and provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law that might delay stockholder actions with respect to business combinations or the election of directors. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as may, will, should, might, expect, anticipate, estimate, and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.
