Rochester Medical Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year End Results
Stewartville, MN November 3, 2011.
Rochester Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:ROCM) today announced operating results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
The Company reported record sales of $14,839,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $11,121,000 for the fourth quarter of last year. It also reported quarterly net income of $407,000 or $.03 per diluted share compared to net income of $172,000 or $.01 per diluted share for the same quarter of last year.
Fourth quarter sales increased 33% year over year (32% on a constant currency basis) driven by a 46% increase in Rochester Medical Direct Sales (43% on a constant currency basis) and a 1% decrease in Private Label Sales (1% decrease on a constant currency basis). Constant currency basis assumes current exchange rates for all periods in order to exclude the impact of foreign exchange variations. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the U.S. dollar was somewhat weaker versus the pound sterling thus positively affecting Rochester Medical Direct Sales growth levels in actual U.S. dollars given the significant volume of direct sales in the United Kingdom.
Net income adjusted for certain non-recurring unusual items and certain recurring non-cash expenses, or “Non-GAAP Net Income” for the current quarter was $822,000 or $.07 per diluted share compared to Non-GAAP Net Income of $506,000 or $.04 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of last year. The increase in Non-GAAP Net Income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is primarily attributable to improvement in gross profit as a result of the higher sales versus last year, partially offset by increased investment in sales and marketing programs.
Direct Sales to the Home Care market, which comprised 86% of fiscal 2011 total Rochester Medical Direct Sales grew approximately 49% to $10.7 million this quarter from $7.2 million dollars in last year’s fourth quarter. The increase resulted from a 54% increase in International Direct Home Care Sales (49% constant currency growth) and a 33% increase in U.S. Direct Home Care Sales. Direct sales to the Acute Care market, which comprised 14% of fiscal 2011 total Rochester Medical Direct Sales, grew 25% to just over $1.2 million this quarter from just under $1 million dollars in the fourth quarter of last year. The increase came from a 32% increase in International Direct Acute Care Sales (30% constant currency growth) and an 18% increase in U.S. Direct Acute Care Sales.

 

 

 

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported record sales of $52,919,000 compared to sales of $41,443,000 for the previous year. The 28% increase in annual total sales (26% on a constant current basis) resulted from a 39% increase in Rochester Medical Direct Sales (37% on a constant currency basis) and a 2% decrease (constant currency) in Private Label Sales. The Company reported a net loss for the year of ($1,315,000) or ($0.11) per diluted share compared to a net loss of ($254,000) or ($0.02) per diluted share for the previous year. The decrease in net income for the fiscal year was primarily attributable to significantly increased investment in sales and marketing programs and one time costs related to the acquisition of Laprolan.
Non-GAAP Net Income for the current year was $1,073,000 or $0.09 per diluted share compared to Non-GAAP Net Income of $1,220,000 or $0.09 per diluted share for the previous year. The decrease was primarily due to significantly increased investment in sales and marketing programs.
Commenting on today’s announcement Rochester Medical’s CEO and President Anthony J. Conway said, “The Company has made significant strides over the past year. The Laprolan acquisition, the significant expansion of our sales and marketing force, and important new product introductions have all contributed to strong growth and have us well positioned for the future.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Rochester Medical has provided Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) in addition to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because management believes Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) provides a more consistent basis for comparisons that are not influenced by certain charges and non-cash expenses and are therefore helpful in understanding Rochester Medical’s underlying operating results. Similarly, constant currency represents reported sales with the cost/benefit of currency movements removed. Management uses the measure to understand the growth of the business on a constant dollar basis, as fluctuations in exchange rates can distort the underlying growth of the business both positively and negatively. While we recognize that foreign exchange volatility is a reality for a global company, we routinely review our Company performance on a constant dollar basis, and we believe this also allows our shareholders to understand better our Company’s growth trends.
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and constant currency are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other measure of performance or liquidity under GAAP. Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and constant currency are not comparable to information provided by other companies. Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and constant currency have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Reconciliations of Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), and reconciliations of sales under GAAP and sales on a constant currency basis, are presented at the end of this press release.
