Thermo Fisher Scientific Reports Record Third Quarter Revenues and Adjusted EPS and Raises Full-Year Guidance

    WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, reported
that revenues increased to a record $2.40 billion in the third quarter of
2007 (largely as a result of the November 2006 merger with Fisher
Scientific), compared with $725 million in the 2006 quarter. GAAP diluted
earnings per share (EPS) were $.49 in 2007, versus $.30 in the year-ago
period, including a one-time favorable $.05 per share adjustment to the
2007 GAAP tax rate. GAAP operating income for the 2007 quarter was $254
million, compared with $75 million in 2006, and GAAP operating margin was
10.6%, compared with 10.4% a year ago.
    Adjusted EPS grew 48% to $.65 in the third quarter of 2007, versus $.44
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. Third quarter revenues grew 7% over pro forma
2006 revenues of $2.24 billion. Currency translation increased revenues by
2% and there was no material effect from acquisitions, net of divestitures.
Adjusted operating income for the quarter increased 17% over pro forma 2006
results, and adjusted operating margin expanded 150 basis points to 16.9%,
compared with pro forma adjusted operating margin of 15.4% 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."
    Third Quarter Highlights
    -- Revenues grew 7% over pro forma 2006
    -- Adjusted EPS rose 48%
    -- Adjusted operating income increased 17% over pro forma 2006
    -- Adjusted operating margin expanded 150 basis points over pro forma 2006
    -- Completed bolt-on acquisitions totaling nearly $200 million in
       annualized revenues since August
    -- Launched new RNAi platform after quarter-end to advance key fields of
       life sciences research
    "We're excited to report a record third quarter," said Marijn E.
Dekkers, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
"We had solid revenue growth -- led by high demand for life science and air
quality instruments, specialty diagnostics products and biopharma services
-- as well as excellent adjusted EPS results. In addition, we continued our
long track record of significant margin expansion by remaining focused on
improving our operating performance."
    "As we approach the one-year anniversary of the merger between Thermo
and Fisher, the success of our integration is demonstrated by our very
strong operating results. Our more recent activity shows that acquisitions
continue to be an important part of our growth strategy. The life,
laboratory and health sciences industry remains highly fragmented, and this
presents opportunities for us to make acquisitions that create tremendous
value by expanding our global reach, our commercial capabilities or our
technology portfolio. This complements our ongoing internal investments,
which include capacity expansion to accommodate growing demand for our
products and services, or R&D that yields significant technological
advancements -- such as our new RNAi platform that broadens life sciences
research."
    Mr. Dekkers added, "With three quarters behind us, we are again raising
our adjusted EPS guidance for the full year, and now expect earnings to be
in the range of $2.56 to $2.59 for 2007, versus the $2.50 to $2.56 that we
announced last quarter. This would lead to adjusted EPS growth of 34 to 36%
over 2006. Due to acquisitions and favorable currency translation, we are
also raising our previous 2007 revenue guidance of $9.50 to $9.55 billion
to a range of $9.60 to $9.65 billion, resulting in 8 to 9% revenue growth
over our pro forma 2006 results." (The 2007 guidance does not include 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 12% in the third
quarter of 2007 to $1.04 billion, compared with pro forma 2006 revenues of
$931 million. Operating income increased 26% in the third quarter of 2007,
and operating margin rose to 19.4%, versus pro forma 2006 results of 17.3%.
    Laboratory Products and Services Segment
    In the Laboratory Products and Services Segment, revenues grew 4% in
the third quarter of 2007 to $1.45 billion, compared with pro forma 2006
revenues of $1.39 billion. Operating income increased 10% in the third
quarter of 2007, and operating margin rose to 14.0%, versus pro forma 2006
results of 13.3%.
    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 $.80 of expense for the amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets for acquisitions completed through
the third 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 (such as the one-time effect on deferred tax balances of enacted
changes in tax rates), 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.
