EX-99.1 2 a5462618ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Natus Medical Announces Record 2007 Second Quarter Financial Results - Company Reports Record Second Quarter Revenue and Earnings - Updates 2007 Revenue and Earnings Guidance SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2007--Natus Medical Incorporated (Nasdaq:BABY) today announced financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, Natus reported revenue of $28.3 million, representing a 42% increase from $20.0 million in the comparable quarter of the previous year. The Company reported net income of $2.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007, compared with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $3.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.18) per share, for the comparable period in 2006. The results for the 2006 period included a charge for in-process research and development associated with the acquisition of Bio-logic Systems Corp. in January 2006. Excluding this charge, non-GAAP earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $2.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. The results for the first six months of 2007 reflect increases in net income and earnings per share of 48% and 31%, respectively, compared to the non-GAAP results in 2006. Jim Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company said, "I am pleased with our record results for the second quarter. The quarter was led by strong growth in our worldwide hearing screening business and the results of our most recent acquisition, Olympic Medical. "As we previously reported, we increased spending for infrastructure in the first quarter. In the second quarter of this year, our general and administrative expenses have come down to more normal levels. Our higher level of spending on R&D initiatives has continued into the second quarter, most notably for our hearing and EEG product lines, but we expect that our expenditures for these projects should be winding down in the fourth quarter." "In transitioning production of the Olympic Cool-Cap from clinical units to commercial units, we updated many of its components. Because of its Class III device status, these component updates must receive FDA pre-market approval. Consequently, in June we put a hold on shipments of Cool-Cap units. While this delay impacted shipments, it did not have an adverse impact on orders. We held up approximately $500,000 of Cool-Cap shipments in the second quarter because of this issue. We will resume shipments of the Cool-Cap upon FDA approval of the new components, which we anticipate happening in the third quarter," added Hawkins. "Even with this shipping delay, we still had an excellent quarter with record results. Through our internal product development and acquisitions we have developed market-leading positions for a number of our products. We remain confident in our strategy as we continue to position the company for growth in 2008 and beyond," said Hawkins. During 2006 the Company completed the acquisitions of Bio-logic Systems, Deltamed, and Olympic Medical, in January, September, and October, respectively. The acquisitions of Deltamed and Olympic contributed to the reported revenue growth in the second quarter 2007. As of June 30, 2007 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.3 million, stockholders' equity of $107 million, working capital of $39 million, and no long-term debt. 2007 Guidance Natus increased its revenue guidance for the full year 2007. For the full year 2007, the Company now expects revenue to range from $118.3 million to $119.3 million. The Company had previously said revenue would range from $117.5 million to $119.0 million. The Company reiterated its earnings per share guidance, which it expects to range from $0.49 to $0.52 per share. Natus also increased its previously announced revenue guidance for the third quarter of 2007. For the third quarter of 2007, the Company expects revenue to range from $30.0 million to $30.5 million. The Company had previously said revenue would range from $29.5 million to $30.0 million. The Company reiterated its earnings per share guidance, which it expects to range from $0.13 to $0.14. This compares to revenue of $21.8 million and earnings per share of $0.09 reported in the third quarter of 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company expects revenue to range from $32.9 million to $33.4 million and earnings per share to range from $0.19 to $0.21. This compares to revenue of $28.8 million and earnings per share of $0.02 reported in the fourth quarter of 2006. The results for the 2006 period included a $3.9 million charge for acquired in-process research and development associated with the acquisition of Olympic Medical. The Company expects that it will utilize tax net operating loss carryforwards to significantly reduce its taxable income in 2007, such that it will pay taxes at a rate of only 12% to 15% for the year. The Company's 2007 guidance is on a GAAP basis, including the impact of expensing employee equity-based compensation, which the Company expects to be approximately $2.1 million for the full year 2007. The Company's guidance does not include the impact of any one-time acquisition or restructuring related charges. All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, this release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of costs associated with the January 5, 2006 acquisition of Bio-logic Systems Corp. The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding this acquisition-related charge provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core operating results. The Company also believes the in-process research and development charge is not indicative of resources devoted to ongoing research and development efforts. Therefore, the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of operating results across reporting periods. A reconciliation between the Company's results of operations on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for the periods reported is included as part of the condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of the Company's financial results release. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. The non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
