Thermo Fisher Scientific Reports Strong Growth in Revenues and Adjusted EPS in Fourth Quarter 2006

    WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, reported
that revenues more than doubled to $1.67 billion in the fourth quarter of
2006 (including $849 million from the merger with Fisher Scientific,
completed on November 9, 2006), compared with $741 million in the 2005
quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $.08 in 2006, versus
$.34 in the year-ago period. GAAP operating income for the 2006 quarter was
$26.8 million, compared with $88.5 million in 2005, and GAAP operating
margin was 1.6%, compared with 11.9% a year ago. GAAP results in 2006
include $125 million of pre-tax charges related to the merger with Fisher.
    Adjusted EPS grew 21% to $.57 in the fourth quarter of 2006, versus
$.47 in the 2005 quarter. Adjusted operating income increased 132% in the
2006 quarter, and adjusted operating margin increased 50 basis points to
15.8%, compared with 15.3% in the 2005 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," and include results from
Fisher since the merger date.
    For a better year-to-year comparison of the company's performance, we
are also presenting adjusted operating results on a pro forma basis, as if
Thermo and Fisher had been combined in both periods. Pro forma revenues
grew 11% to $2.35 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006, versus $2.12
billion in the 2005 quarter. Acquisitions (including those by Fisher prior
to the merger) contributed 3% of the growth, and currency translation
increased revenues by 3%. Pro forma adjusted operating income for the 2006
quarter increased 21% over 2005, and pro forma adjusted operating margin
expanded 130 basis points in the 2006 quarter to 15.2%, compared with 13.9%
in the 2005 period.
    For full-year 2006, Thermo Fisher reported 44% revenue growth to $3.79
billion (including $849 million of Fisher revenues since the merger date),
compared with $2.63 billion in 2005. GAAP diluted EPS was $.84 in 2006,
versus $1.36 in 2005. GAAP operating income in 2006 decreased 8%, and GAAP
operating margin was 6.4% in 2006, versus 10.0% in 2005. The 2006 results
were affected by costs related to the merger with Fisher, as noted above.
    Full-year adjusted EPS grew 30% to $1.91 in 2006, compared with $1.47
in 2005. Adjusted operating income increased 63% in 2006, and adjusted
operating margin rose 180 basis points year over year, to 15.1% from 13.3%
in 2005.
    Pro forma revenues for the full year, as if the companies had been
combined in both periods, grew 10% to $8.87 billion in 2006, compared with
$8.07 billion in 2005. Acquisitions (including those by Fisher prior to the
merger) contributed 4% of the growth, and currency translation increased
revenues by 1%. Pro forma adjusted operating income in 2006 rose 21% over
2005, and pro forma adjusted operating margin expanded 130 basis points to
14.7% in 2006, versus 13.4% a year ago.
    Fourth Quarter Highlights
    * Completed industry-transforming merger with Fisher Scientific
      International; integration on track
    * Pro forma revenues grew 11%
    * Pro forma adjusted operating income rose 21%
    * Pro forma adjusted operating margin expanded 130 basis points
    * Strengthened integrated liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry offering
      with acquisition of Cohesive Technologies
    "Our strong growth momentum throughout 2006, bolstered by our industry-
transforming merger with Fisher in November, led to a banner year," said
Marijn E. Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher
Scientific. "Our revenues were in line with our growth targets and our
adjusted operating margin expanded well beyond our goal of 100 basis
points. Most significantly, full-year adjusted EPS topped our expectations
at $1.91, for 30% growth over our strong performance in 2005. It's been a
very busy year, and we've accomplished a lot thanks to the employees
throughout this great new company who made it possible.
    "In addition, the integration of Fisher is moving along very well, with
teams throughout the company continuing to make excellent progress. We are
well on our way to achieving the $75 million of synergies we identified for
2007. Therefore, we are reiterating the 2007 adjusted EPS estimate of $2.35
to $2.45 that we presented at our analyst meeting in December 2006, which
would result in 23 to 28% growth over our strong 2006 results. We expect
revenues in 2007 to grow to $9.4 to $9.5 billion, an increase of
approximately 6 to 8% over our pro forma 2006 revenues." (This guidance
includes the favorable impact of a full year of results from 2006
acquisitions and also takes into account the unfavorable effects of 2006
divestitures. The 2007 guidance does not factor in any acquisitions or
divestitures that may be completed during the year, 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, as if
Thermo and Fisher had been combined for both periods.
    Analytical Technologies Segment
    Pro forma revenues for the Analytical Technologies Segment grew 16% in
the fourth quarter of 2006 to $1.02 billion, compared with $885 million in
the 2005 quarter. Pro forma adjusted operating income increased 25% in
2006, and pro forma adjusted operating margin rose to 17.9%, versus 16.6%
in the year- ago quarter.
    For the full year, pro forma segment revenues grew 11% to $3.74 billion
in 2006, compared with $3.37 billion in 2005. Pro forma adjusted operating
income for the segment grew 19% in 2006, and pro forma adjusted operating
margin increased to 17.2%, versus 16.1% a year ago.
    Laboratory Products and Services Segment
    In the Laboratory Products and Services Segment, pro forma revenues
grew 7% in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $1.40 billion, compared with $1.31
billion in the 2005 quarter. Pro forma adjusted operating income increased
17% in 2006, and pro forma adjusted operating margin rose to 12.4%, versus
11.3% in the year-ago quarter.
    For the full year, pro forma segment revenues grew 9% to $5.44 billion
in 2006, compared with $4.98 billion in 2005. Pro forma adjusted operating
income for the segment grew 23% in 2006, and pro forma adjusted operating
margin increased to 12.2%, versus 10.8% a year ago.
    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. For purposes of comparison, 2005
consolidated adjusted results reflect the pro forma effect of stock option
expense as if it had been required in that period. 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, accelerated
vesting of our equity-based arrangements resulting from the change in
control occurring at the date of the Fisher merger ($36.7 million) and
Fisher merger- related professional fees. 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 $.84 of expense for the amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets for acquisitions completed through
2006. 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, 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 the
sale of our equity interests in Newport Corporation and Thoratec
Corporation, as well as other items such as the sale of a business or real
estate, the early retirement of debt and debt facilities and discontinued
operations. (We sold our remaining shares of Newport and Thoratec during
the second quarter of 2005.)
    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); charges for the acceleration of
        stock-based compensation expense due to a change in control (see note
        (e) for details); certain other income/expense and costs associated
        with the early termination of debt/credit facilities (see note (f)
        for details); the tax consequences of the preceding items (see note
        (g) for details); and results of discontinued operations. In 2005,
        adjusted results include pro forma stock option compensation
        expense. In 2006, aside from the charge discussed in note (e),
        stock option expense of $9,569 is included in both reported and
        adjusted results as follows: cost of revenues $917; selling, general
        and administrative expenses $8,112; and research and development
        expenses $540.
    (c) Reported results in 2006 include $74,070 of charges for the sale of
        inventories revalued at the date of acquisition and $305 of
        accelerated depreciation on manufacturing assets being abandoned due
        to facility consolidations. Reported results in 2005 include $166 of
        accelerated depreciation on manufacturing assets abandoned due to
        facility consolidations.
    (d) Reported results in 2006 and 2005 include restructuring and other
        costs, net, consisting principally of severance, abandoned facility
        and other expenses of real estate consolidation, net of net gains on
        the sale of product lines and abandoned facilities. Reported results
        in 2006 also include $15,242 of charges for in-process research and
        development associated with the Fisher merger.
    (e) Reported results in 2006 include a charge for the acceleration of
        stock-based compensation expense due to a change in control, recorded
        as follows: cost of revenues $3,821; selling, general and
        administrative expenses $30,844; and research and development expenses
        $2,082.
    (f) Reported results in 2006 include $930 of cost associated with the
        early termination of debt/credit facilities.
    (g) Reported provision for income taxes includes $80,702 and $9,215 of
        incremental tax benefit in 2006 and 2005, respectively, for the items
        in (b) through (d); and $4,159 in 2005 of incremental tax provision
        for the estimated effect of tax audits of prior years in a non-U.S.
        country. Adjusted provision for income taxes in 2005 includes $1,831
        of tax benefits for the pro forma stock option compensation expense.
    (h) Consolidated depreciation expense in 2006 and 2005 was $31,306 and
        $12,380, respectively.
    (i) Pro forma results combine the results of the company with the pre-
        merger results of Fisher Scientific International Inc.

    (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); charges for the acceleration of stock-
        based compensation expense due to a change in control (see note (e)
        for details); certain other income/expense and costs associated with
        the early termination of debt/credit facilities (see note (f) for
        details); the tax consequences of the preceding items (see note (g)
        for details); and results of discontinued operations. In 2005,
        adjusted results include pro forma stock option compensation expense.
        In 2006, aside from the charge discussed in note (e), stock option
        expense of $28,060 is included in both reported and adjusted results
        as follows: cost of revenues $3,040; selling, general and
        administrative expenses $23,408; and research and development expenses
        $1,612.
    (c) Reported results in 2006 include $74,749 of charges for the sale of
        inventories revalued at the date of acquisition and $2,876 of
        accelerated depreciation on manufacturing assets being abandoned due
        to facility consolidations. Reported results in 2005 include $13,387
        of charges primarily for the sale of inventories revalued at the date
        of acquisition.
    (d) Reported results in 2006 and 2005 include restructuring and other
        costs, net, consisting principally of severance, abandoned facility
        and other expenses of real estate consolidation, net of net gains on
        the sale of product lines and abandoned facilities. Reported results
        in 2006 also include $15,242 of charges for in-process research and
        development associated with the Fisher merger.
    (e) Reported results in 2006 include a charge for the acceleration of
        stock-based compensation expense due to a change in control, recorded
        as follows: cost of revenues $3,821; selling, general and
        administrative expenses $30,844; and research and development expenses
        $2,082.
    (f) Reported results in 2006 include $930 of cost associated with the
        early termination of debt/credit facilities in interest expense.
        Reported results in 2005 include $27,594 of net gains from the sale of
        shares of Newport Corporation and Thoratec Corporation in other
        income, net.
    (g) Reported provision for income taxes includes $111,741 and $27,705 of
        incremental tax benefit in 2006 and 2005, respectively, for the items
        in (b) through (e) $1,241 and $4,159 in 2006 and 2005, respectively,
        of incremental tax provision for the estimated effect of tax audits of
        prior years in a non-U.S. country. Adjusted provision for income taxes
        in 2005 includes $7,322 of tax benefits for the pro forma stock option
        compensation expense. (h) Consolidated depreciation expense in 2006
        and 2005 was $69,947 and $45,632, respectively.
    (i) Pro forma results combine the results of the company with the pre-
        merger results of Fisher Scientific International Inc.
