Bio-Rad Reports Second-Quarter 2016 Financial Results

August 3, 2016 4:15 PM EDT

HERCULES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/03/16 -- Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a global provider of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Second-quarter reported revenues were $516.8 million, an increase of 2.1 percent compared to $506.1 million reported for the second quarter of 2015. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 2.8 percent compared to the same period last year. Second-quarter gross margin was 54.2 percent compared to 55.2 percent reported during the same quarter in 2015. The decrease in gross margin during the second quarter of 2016 was primarily the result of sales mix and higher manufacturing costs compared to the same period last year.

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $18.0 million, or $0.61 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $28.4 million, or $0.97 per share, respectively, during the same period last year.

The lower net income for the second quarter of 2016 versus the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to several discrete items that increased expenses approximately $18 million and include the planned restructuring of our European operations, the termination of a research and development project, and costs associated with various legal matters. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 33%, compared to the 28% tax rate for the same quarter in 2015. The lower tax rate in 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in tax reserves as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations.

On a reported basis, revenues for the first half of 2016 increased 0.9 percent to $988.0 million compared to $978.9 million for the same period in 2015. On a currency-neutral basis, revenues grew 3.3 percent.

Year-to-date net income for 2016 was $30.3 million, or $1.03 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $46.2 million, or $1.58 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2015.

"We are encouraged by sales performance in the first half of the year reflecting strength in many of our markets," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "Although investments in acquired technologies and systems have tempered profitability for the first half of the year, these investments in our operation are necessary to support our growth in the future."

Life Science Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter of 2016 were $180.0 million, an increase of 5.5 percent, when compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, sales increased 6.0 percent compared to the same period last year. Results from the second quarter benefitted from increased sales of the Company's Droplet Digital" PCR and process chromatography products. Sales increased primarily in North America, China, and Asia. In April, Bio-Rad announced the launch of five Droplet Digital" PCR (ddPCR) Multiplex Mutation Screening Kits for detecting multiple cancer mutations. The combination of ddPCR and multiplexing technologies increases the throughput of genetic analysis to give clinical researchers more information per patient sample.

Clinical Diagnostics Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the second quarter of 2016 were $333.7 million, an increase of 0.5 percent compared to the same quarter last year. On a currency-neutral basis, sales increased 1.3 percent compared to the same period in 2015. The Clinical Diagnostics segment sales performance reflected modest growth across most product lines, most notably clinical immunology, blood typing, and quality control products. Sales growth increased across most regions, driven by North America, Eastern Europe, and China. During the quarter Bio-Rad announced the launch of Amplichek" II quality control, the first in a series of infectious disease controls that the Company plans to introduce for the molecular diagnostic testing market.

Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Daylight Time (5 PM Eastern Time) August 3, 2016.
