Thermo Fisher Scientific Reports Record Third Quarter Revenues and
Adjusted EPS and Raises Full-Year Guidance


WALTHAM, Mass. (October 25, 2007) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, reported that revenues increased to a record $2.40 billion in the third quarter of 2007 (largely as a result of the November 2006 merger with Fisher Scientific), compared with $725 million in the 2006 quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $.49 in 2007, versus $.30 in the year-ago period, including a one-time favorable $.05 per share adjustment to the 2007 GAAP tax rate. GAAP operating income for the 2007 quarter was $254 million, compared with $75 million in 2006, and GAAP operating margin was 10.6%, compared with 10.4% a year ago.

Adjusted EPS grew 48% to $.65 in the third quarter of 2007, versus $.44 in the 2006 quarter. For a better year-to-year comparison of the company’s operating performance, we are presenting our revenues and adjusted operating results on a pro forma basis, as if Thermo and Fisher had been combined for all of 2006. Third quarter revenues grew 7% over pro forma 2006 revenues of $2.24 billion. Currency translation increased revenues by 2% and there was no material effect from acquisitions, net of divestitures. Adjusted operating income for the quarter increased 17% over pro forma 2006 results, and adjusted operating margin expanded 150 basis points to 16.9%, compared with pro forma adjusted operating margin of 15.4% in the 2006 period. Adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin are non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items detailed later in this press release under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Third Quarter Highlights
·  
Revenues grew 7% over pro forma 2006
·  
Adjusted EPS rose 48%
·  
Adjusted operating income increased 17% over pro forma 2006
·  
Adjusted operating margin expanded 150 basis points over pro forma 2006

Launched new RNAi platform after quarter-end to advance key fields of life sciences research

“We’re excited to report a record third quarter,” said Marijn E. Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. “We had solid revenue growth – led by high demand for life science and air quality instruments, specialty diagnostics products and biopharma services – as well as excellent adjusted EPS results. In addition, we continued our long track record of significant margin expansion by remaining focused on improving our operating performance.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
“As we approach the one-year anniversary of the merger between Thermo and Fisher, the success of our integration is demonstrated by our very strong operating results. Our more recent activity shows that acquisitions continue to be an important part of our growth strategy. The life, laboratory and health sciences industry remains highly fragmented, and this presents opportunities for us to make acquisitions that create tremendous value by expanding our global reach, our commercial capabilities or our technology portfolio. This complements our ongoing internal investments, which include capacity expansion to accommodate growing demand for our products and services, or R&D that yields significant technological advancements – such as our new RNAi platform that broadens life sciences research.”

Mr. Dekkers added, “With three quarters behind us, we are again raising our adjusted EPS guidance for the full year, and now expect earnings to be in the range of $2.56 to $2.59 for 2007, versus the $2.50 to $2.56 that we announced last quarter. This would lead to adjusted EPS growth of 34 to 36% over 2006. Due to acquisitions and favorable currency translation, we are also raising our previous 2007 revenue guidance of $9.50 to $9.55 billion to a range of $9.60 to $9.65 billion, resulting in 8 to 9% revenue growth over our pro forma 2006 results.” (The 2007 guidance does not include any future acquisitions or divestitures, and is based on present currency exchange rates. In addition, the adjusted EPS estimate excludes amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets and certain other items detailed later in this press release under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”)

Management uses adjusted operating results to monitor and evaluate performance of the company’s business segments. Results in the following segment information are reported on a pro forma adjusted basis for 2006, as if Thermo and Fisher had been combined for the entire year.

Analytical Technologies Segment

Revenues in the Analytical Technologies Segment grew 12% in the third quarter of 2007 to $1.04 billion, compared with pro forma 2006 revenues of $931 million. Operating income increased 26% in the third quarter of 2007, and operating margin rose to 19.4%, versus pro forma 2006 results of 17.3%.

Laboratory Products and Services Segment

In the Laboratory Products and Services Segment, revenues grew 4% in the third quarter of 2007 to $1.45 billion, compared with pro forma 2006 revenues of $1.39 billion. Operating income increased 10% in the third quarter of 2007, and operating margin rose to 14.0%, versus pro forma 2006 results of 13.3%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin, which exclude restructuring and other costs/income and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Adjusted EPS also excludes certain other gains and losses, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, benefits from tax credit carryforwards, the impact of significant tax audits or events and discontinued operations. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods. We believe that the use of non-GAAP measures helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company’s performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For example:

We exclude costs and tax effects associated with restructuring activities, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities in connection with the Fisher merger and our Kendro acquisition. We believe that the costs related to these restructuring activities are not indicative of our normal operating costs.

We exclude certain acquisition-related costs, including charges for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition and professional fees related to the merger with Fisher. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs.

We exclude the expense and tax effects associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives of 5 to 20 years. Our adjusted EPS estimate for 2007 excludes approximately $.80 of expense for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets for acquisitions completed through the third quarter of 2007. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.

We also exclude certain gains/losses and related tax effects, benefits from tax credit carryforwards and the impact of significant tax audits or events (such as the one-time effect on deferred tax balances of enacted changes in tax rates), which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability and that we believe are not indicative of our normal operating gains and losses. We exclude gains/losses from items such as the sale of a business or real estate, the early retirement of debt and debt facilities and discontinued operations.

Thermo Fisher’s management uses these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as the basis for measuring the company’s core operating performance and comparing such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes.

The non-GAAP financial measures of Thermo Fisher’s results of operations included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for Thermo Fisher’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the accompanying tables. Thermo Fisher’s earnings guidance, however, is only provided on an adjusted basis. It is not feasible to provide GAAP EPS guidance because the items excluded, other than the amortization expense, are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, such as acquisitions and decisions concerning the location and timing of facility consolidations.

(a)
"GAAP" (reported) results were determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
(b)
Adjusted results are non-GAAP measures and exclude certain charges to cost of revenues (see note (c) for details); amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; restructuring and other costs, net (see note (d) for details); the tax consequences of the preceding items and other tax events (see note (e) for details); and results of discontinued operations.
(c)
 Reported results in 2007 include $48.0 primarily for charges for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition. Reported results in 2006 include $2.6 of accelerated depreciation on manufacturing assets abandoned due to facility consolidations and $0.7 of charges for the sale of inventory revalued at the date of acquisition.
(d)
Reported results in 2007 and 2006 include restructuring and other costs, net, consisting principally of severance, abandoned facility and other expenses of real estate consolidation and, in 2007, loss on sale of business, net of net gains in 2006 on the sale of product lines and abandoned facilities.
(e)
Reported provision for income taxes includes i) $176.6 and $31.1 of incremental tax benefit in 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the pre-tax reconciling items between GAAP and adjusted net income; ii) in 2007, $20.8 of incremental tax benefit from adjusting the company's deferred tax balances as a result of newly enacted tax rates in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany; and iii) in 2006, $1.2 of incremental tax provision for the estimated effect of tax audits of prior years in a non-U.S. country.
(f)
Consolidated depreciation expense in 2007 and 2006 is $137.1 and $38.6, respectively.
(g)
Consolidated equity compensation expense included in both reported and adjusted results is $39.3 and $20.1 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(h)
Pro forma results combine the results of the company with the pre-merger results of Fisher Scientific International Inc. Equity compensation expense of $57.2 is included in the pro forma 2006 results.
