Charles River Laboratories Announces First-Quarter 2019 Results

May 07, 2019 07:00 am
WILMINGTON, Mass. -- 

Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today reported its results for the first quarter of 2019. For the quarter, revenue was $604.6 million, an increase of 22.4% from $494.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Revenue growth was driven by all three business segments, particularly Discovery and Safety Assessment and Manufacturing Support.

Acquisitions, principally MPI Research, contributed 14.4% to consolidated first-quarter revenue growth. The impact of foreign currency translation reduced reported revenue growth by 2.8%. Excluding the effect of these items, organic revenue growth was 10.8%.

On a GAAP basis, first-quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders was $55.1 million, an increase of 4.7% from net income of $52.7 million for the same period in 2018. First-quarter diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $1.11, an increase of 2.8% from $1.08 for the first quarter of 2018. GAAP earnings per share included a gain from the Company’s venture capital investments of $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2019, compared to a $0.10 gain for the same period in 2018. As previously disclosed, the Company’s venture capital investment performance has been excluded from non-GAAP earnings per share.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations was $69.4 million for the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 10.5% from $62.8 million for the same period in 2018. First-quarter diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $1.40, an increase of 8.5% from $1.29 per share for the first quarter of 2018.

The GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share increases were driven primarily by higher revenue, including the contribution from the MPI acquisition.

James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the first quarter, we saw a continuation of the robust business trends that we experienced throughout the second half of last year. Revenue growth was above 10% on both an organic and reported basis. Demand from our biotechnology clients continued to drive growth, the result of a robust funding environment and our targeted sales strategies that continued to resonate with this thriving client base. As the leading, early-stage CRO, we continue to differentiate ourselves from the competition through our science, our broad, early-stage portfolio from target discovery through non-clinical development, and the flexible relationships that we can offer clients.”

“Coupled with our first-quarter performance, we believe the continued execution of our business strategy and strong industry fundamentals firmly support our growth prospects for 2019 and beyond, which are enhanced by last week’s acquisition of Citoxlab. Citoxlab’s complementary service offering and geographic footprint are an excellent strategic fit, reinforcing our position as the partner of choice for early-stage drug research. Including the impact of the Citoxlab acquisition, we are reaffirming our 2019 financial guidance,” Mr. Foster concluded.

First-Quarter Segment Results

Research Models and Services (RMS)

Revenue for the RMS segment was $137.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 2.4% from $134.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Organic revenue growth was 5.4%, driven primarily by higher revenue for research model services, as well as increased demand for research models in China. Research model services benefited from a large government contract in the Insourcing Solutions (IS) business, which commenced in September 2018, and strong client demand for the Genetically Engineered Models and Services business. The revenue increase was partially offset by lower sales volume for research models outside of China, particularly to large biopharmaceutical clients.

In the first quarter of 2019, the RMS segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 27.6% from 28.8% in the first quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 28.1% from 29.8% in the first quarter of 2018. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin decreases were driven primarily by the large IS government contract and lower sales volume for research models outside of China.

Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA)

Revenue for the DSA segment was $354.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 36.2% from $260.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Acquisitions, principally MPI Research, contributed 27.2% to DSA revenue growth. Organic revenue growth of 11.2% was driven by both the Safety Assessment and Discovery Services businesses. By client segment, the DSA revenue increase was driven primarily by robust demand from biotechnology clients.

In the first quarter of 2019, the DSA segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 13.2% from 15.7% in the first quarter of 2018. The GAAP operating margin decline was driven primarily by amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of MPI Research. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin was 18.6%, which was unchanged compared to the prior year.

Manufacturing Support (Manufacturing)

Revenue for the Manufacturing segment was $113.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, an increase of 13.2% from $100.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Organic revenue growth was 17.2%, driven primarily by robust demand in the Microbial Solutions and Biologics Testing Solutions businesses.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Manufacturing segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 27.8% from 28.5% in the first quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 31.0% from 31.9% in the first quarter of 2018. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin declines were driven primarily by costs associated with capacity expansions, principally in the Biologics Testing Solutions business.

2019 Guidance

On February 13, 2019, the Company provided 2019 financial guidance for revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per share, which included the impact of the Citoxlab acquisition. The acquisition of Citoxlab was subsequently completed on April 29, 2019.

The Company is reaffirming its revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per share guidance for 2019 including the acquisition of Citoxlab. In addition, the Company is providing initial GAAP earnings per share guidance including the acquisition of Citoxlab of $4.75 to $4.90. The Company is also providing initial free cash flow guidance including the acquisition of Citoxlab of $310 to $320 million.

The Company’s revenue and earnings per share guidance including the impact of Citoxlab is as follows:

             
2019 GUIDANCE INCLUDING CITOXLAB     CURRENT     PRIOR
Revenue growth, reported     16% - 18%     16% - 18%
Less: Contribution from acquisitions (1) 8% - 9% 8% - 9%
Add: Negative impact of foreign exchange     ~0.5%     ~0.5%
Revenue growth, organic (2)     8.0% - 9.5%     8.0% - 9.5%
GAAP EPS estimate $4.75-$4.90
Amortization of intangible assets (3) $1.42-$1.52
Charges related to global efficiency initiatives (4) ~$0.07
Acquisition-related adjustments (5) $0.25-$0.30
Venture capital investment (gains)/losses (6)     (~$0.16)    
Non-GAAP EPS estimate     $6.40 - $6.55     $6.40 - $6.55
Free cash flow (7)     $310 - $320 million    
 

Footnotes to Guidance Table:

(1) The contribution from acquisitions reflects only those acquisitions which have been completed.

(2) Organic revenue growth is defined as reported revenue growth adjusted for acquisitions and foreign currency translation.

(3) Amortization of intangible assets includes an estimate of $0.30-$0.40 for the impact of the Citoxlab acquisition because the preliminary purchase price allocation has not been completed.

(4) These charges, which primarily include severance and other costs, relate primarily to the Company’s planned efficiency initiatives. Other projects in support of global productivity and efficiency initiatives are expected, but these charges reflect only the decisions that have already been finalized.

(5) These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions, and primarily include transaction, advisory, and certain third-party integration costs, as well as certain costs associated with acquisition-related efficiency initiatives. These costs will be partially offset by an anticipated discrete tax benefit.

(6) Venture capital investment performance only includes recognized gains or losses. The Company does not forecast future venture capital investment gains or losses.

(7) The reconciliation of 2019 free cash flow guidance is as follows: Cash flow from operating activities of $480-$490 million, less capital expenditures of ~$170 million, equates to free cash flow of $310-$320 million.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations/Discontinued Operations

The Company reports non-GAAP results in this press release, which exclude often-one-time charges and other items that are outside of normal operations. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the schedules at the end of this press release. In addition, the Company reports results from continuing operations, which exclude results of the Phase I clinical business that was divested in 2011. The Phase I business is reported as a discontinued operation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which exclude the amortization of intangible assets, and other charges related to our acquisitions; expenses associated with evaluating and integrating acquisitions and divestitures, as well as fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration; charges, gains, and losses attributable to businesses or properties we plan to close, consolidate, or divest; severance and other costs associated with our efficiency initiatives; the write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing; and investment gains or losses associated with our venture capital investments. This press release also refers to our revenue in both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis: “constant currency,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for the impact of foreign currency translation, and “organic revenue growth,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. Commencing in the first quarter of 2019, we exclude the performance of our venture capital investments due to the determination that such investment gains or losses are not core to our overall operations. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, as they are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. We believe that the financial impact of our acquisitions and divestitures (and in certain cases, the evaluation of such acquisitions and divestitures, whether or not ultimately consummated) is often large relative to our overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis. In addition, certain activities and their underlying associated costs, such as business acquisitions, generally occur periodically but on an unpredictable basis. We calculate non-GAAP integration costs to include third-party integration costs incurred post-acquisition. Presenting revenue on an organic basis allows investors to measure our revenue growth exclusive of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company’s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules and regulations. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release, and can also be found on the Company’s website at ir.criver.com.

Charles River management believes that supplementary non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to allow investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, without the effect of often-one-time charges and other items which are outside our normal operations, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. The supplementary non-GAAP financial measures included are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules, regulations and guidance.
