OraSure Announces 2018 Second Quarter Financial Results
BETHLEHEM, Pa., Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OraSure Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSUR), a leader in point-of-care diagnostic tests and specimen collection devices, today announced its consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Financial Highlights
- Consolidated net revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $43.6 million, a 9% increase from the second quarter of 2017. Consolidated net product revenues were $38.8 million, representing a 1% decrease from the second quarter of 2017.
- Consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $85.6 million, an 18% increase from the comparable period of 2017. Consolidated net product revenues for the first six months of 2018 were $77.1 million, representing a 9% increase over the first half of 2017.
- Net molecular collection systems revenues were $17.2 million during the second quarter of 2018, which represents a 7% increase over the second quarter of 2017. Net molecular collection systems revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $35.6 million, a 33% increase from the comparable period of 2017.
- International sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HIV products of $7.4 million increased 265% compared to the second quarter of 2017. International sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HIV products of $13.1 million increased 180% compared to the first six months of 2017. The increases in both periods were primarily the result of higher sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HIV Self-Test.
- International sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HCV product of $1.5 million decreased 72% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. International sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HCV product of $2.1 million for the first six months of 2018 decreased 78% from the comparable period of 2017. These declines were a result of the non-renewal of a foreign government supply contract in support of a countrywide HCV eradication program at the end of 2017. This program contributed $4.1 million of sales during the second quarter of 2017 and $6.9 million during the first six months of 2017.
- Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $4.1 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis, which compares to consolidated net income of $5.4 million, or $0.09 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2017. Consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $2.0 million, or $0.03 per share on a fully diluted basis, which compares to consolidated net income of $17.9 million, or $0.30 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the comparable period of 2017. Consolidated net income for the current quarter and year to date period included $2.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of transition costs associated with the retirement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the hiring of their successors. These transition costs approximated $0.04 and $0.14 per share, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, and primarily consisted of non-cash stock compensation charges. Consolidated net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 included a $12.5 million gain related to the settlement of litigation against Ancestry.com DNA and its contract manufacturer. This gain was accounted for as a reduction of operating expenses and approximated $0.16 per share on a fully diluted after-tax basis in that period.
- Cash and investments totaled $181.2 million at June 30, 2018.
“Our financial results for the second quarter of 2018 exceeded expectations and continued the solid performance started in Q1,” said Dr. Stephen S. Tang, President and CEO of OraSure Technologies. “Continued strong international sales of our HIV Self-Test and another strong quarter by our molecular collections business were the primary drivers of this performance. We expect that our HIV Self-Test and molecular businesses will continue to be key growth contributors for the rest of 2018.”
Financial Results
Consolidated net product revenues for the second quarter of 2018 decreased 1% from the comparable period of 2017, primarily as a result of lower sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HCV and cryosurgical systems products and lower domestic sales of the professional OraQuick® HIV test, partially offset by higher international sales of the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test and higher sales of the Company’s molecular collections products.
Consolidated net product revenues for the first six months of 2018 increased 9% over the comparable period of 2017, primarily as a result of higher sales of the Company’s molecular collection systems products and higher international sales of the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test, partially offset by lower sales of the Company’s HCV product, lower domestic sales of the professional OraQuick® HIV test and lower sales of the Company’s cryosurgical systems products.
Sales of the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included $1.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of support payments under the Company’s charitable support agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (“Gates Foundation”).
Consolidated other revenues were $4.8 million and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Consolidated other revenues were $8.5 million and $2.1 million for the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Other revenues in the second quarter of 2018 included royalty income of $2.1 million associated with a litigation settlement agreement, Ebola and Zika-related funding received from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority (“BARDA”) of $1.9 million and cost reimbursement under the Company’s charitable support agreement with the Gates Foundation of $795,000, which is separate from the support payments mentioned above. Other revenues in the first six months of 2018 included royalty income from the litigation settlement of $3.7 million, BARDA funding of $3.5 million, and cost reimbursement from the Gates Foundation of $1.3 million. Other revenues in the second quarter and first six months of 2017 consisted only of BARDA funding.
Consolidated gross profit percentage was 59% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 63% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit percentage declined in both periods primarily due to an increase in lower profit percentage product sales partially offset by an increase in other revenues.
Consolidated operating expenses increased to $20.3 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, consolidated operating expenses were $45.3 million, an increase of $22.3 million from the $23.0 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The quarter increase was largely due to the inclusion of $2.2 million of retirement-related transition costs as discussed above and increased spending in research and development, partially offset by lower staffing costs. The increase for the year to date period was largely due to the inclusion of $8.6 million of transition costs and higher spending on research and development and sales and marketing, partially offset by the absence of the $12.5 million litigation gain associated with the settlement of litigation against Ancestry.com DNA and its contract manufacturer that was included in the first half of 2017. There was no similar gain recorded during the first half of 2018.
The Company reported operating income of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to operating income of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $5.1 million compared $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Income tax expense was $2.2 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2017. Income tax expense was $4.2 million during the first six months of 2018 compared to $5.5 million during the first six months of 2017. Income tax expense in 2018 reflects the higher pre-tax income generated by the Company’s Canadian subsidiary. Income tax expense in the first six months of 2017 included the additional taxes due as a result of the $12.5 million litigation settlement gain.
The Company’s cash and investment balance totaled $181.2 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $176.6 million at December 31, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company generated $13.9 million in cash from operations.
Third Quarter 2018 Outlook
The Company expects consolidated net revenues to range from $44.0 million to $45.5 million and is projecting consolidated net income of $0.10 to $0.12 per share for the third quarter of 2018.
