Thermo Fisher Scientific Reports Record Revenues and Adjusted EPS in Second Quarter 2007;

            Company Raises Financial Guidance for the Full Year

    WALTHAM, Mass., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, reported
that revenues increased to $2.39 billion in the second quarter of 2007
(largely as a result of the November 2006 merger with Fisher Scientific),
compared with $713 million in the 2006 quarter. GAAP diluted earnings per
share (EPS) were $.37 in 2007, versus $.29 in the year-ago period. GAAP
operating income for the 2007 quarter was $243 million, compared with $72
million in 2006, and GAAP operating margin was 10.2%, compared with 10.1% a
year ago.
    Adjusted EPS grew 55% to $.65 in the second quarter of 2007, versus
$.42 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. Second quarter revenues grew 9% over pro
forma 2006 revenues of $2.19 billion. Acquisitions (including those by
Fisher prior to the merger) contributed 1% of the growth, and currency
translation increased revenues by 2%. Adjusted operating income for the
quarter increased 25% over pro forma 2006 results, and adjusted operating
margin expanded 220 basis points to 17.0%, compared with pro forma adjusted
operating margin of 14.8% 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."
    Second Quarter Highlights
    -- Revenues grew 9% over pro forma 2006
    -- Adjusted EPS rose 55%
    -- Adjusted operating income increased 25% over pro forma 2006
    -- Adjusted operating margin expanded 220 basis points over pro forma 2006
    -- New integrated solutions launched at ASMS (American Society for Mass
       Spectrometry) Conference expand mass spectrometry portfolio
    -- Opened new RNAi services laboratory to support drug discovery and
       development
    -- Sales of mercury monitoring systems to U.S. utilities continued at
       record pace
    -- Introduced new series of portable elemental analyzers after quarter-end
    "We are pleased to report another record quarter," said Marijn E.
Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
"We achieved excellent adjusted EPS and operating income results on good
top-line growth, and continued our trend of significant operating margin
expansion. We've now delivered three strong quarters as Thermo Fisher
Scientific, clearly demonstrating that we are successfully operating as one
company. High demand for our new products, healthy end markets and our
continued operating discipline are all coming together to fuel this
excellent performance.
    "Our customers are recognizing the true extent of our combined
capabilities, and we are intent on leveraging our breadth of technologies
and services to meet their needs. We continue to develop the integrated
workflows our life sciences customers rely on to accelerate their research,
from new mass spectrometry solutions introduced at ASMS to our new services
for RNAi- based screening. Outside the laboratory, our technologies are
helping customers comply with increasing environmental and consumer safety
regulations, leading to record sales of our portable elemental analysis
instruments and air-quality monitors."
    Mr. Dekkers added, "Based on our strong earnings in the first half, we
are again raising our adjusted EPS guidance for the full year, and now
expect earnings to be in the range of $2.50 to $2.56 for 2007, versus the
$2.43 to $2.53 that we announced last quarter. This would lead to adjusted
EPS growth of 31 to 34% over 2006. We are also increasing our revenue
guidance to a range of $9.50 to $9.55 billion for 2007, from the $9.4 to
$9.5 billion we previously announced. This would represent an increase of
approximately 7 to 8% over our pro forma 2006 results." (This guidance
includes the favorable impact of a full year of results from 2006
acquisitions and also takes into account the unfavorable effects of
2006/2007 divestitures. The 2007 guidance does not factor in 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 13% in the second
quarter of 2007 to $1.04 billion, compared with pro forma 2006 revenues of
$915 million. Operating income increased 32% in the second quarter of 2007,
and operating margin rose to 19.8%, versus pro forma 2006 results of 17.0%.
    Laboratory Products and Services Segment
    In the Laboratory Products and Services Segment, revenues grew 6% in
the second quarter of 2007 to $1.43 billion, compared with pro forma 2006
revenues of $1.35 billion. Operating income increased 18% in the second
quarter of 2007, and operating margin rose to 13.9%, versus pro forma 2006
results of 12.5%.
    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 $.84 of expense for the amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets for acquisitions completed through
the second 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, 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.
