Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 17% year-over-year. Organic growth (excluding acquisitions and currency impacts) was 14%.
- Acquisitions: The company acquired the Radionics Division of Tyco Healthcare on March 3, 2006, for approximately $74.5 million in cash. Radionics contributed $3.4 million in revenue during the quarter.
- Accounting Changes: The company adopted FAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, resulting in a $3.0 million stock-based compensation expense (reducing net income by $2.1 million net of tax). Additionally, cost of product revenues presentation was revised to include amortization of product technology-based intangible assets.
- Operating Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 30% to $31.1 million, driven primarily by the new stock-based compensation accounting and higher commission expenses from the JARIT direct billing initiative.
- Restructuring: The company recorded $124,000 in employee termination costs related to European restructuring and manufacturing transfers.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management expects total revenue to grow in the range of 20% to 30% per annum, with organic growth exceeding 15% annually. Gross margins are targeted to increase to over 65% over several years.
- Future Acquisitions: In April 2006 (subsequent to the period end), the company signed an agreement to acquire Miltex Holdings, Inc. for approximately $101 million in cash.
- Liquidity: The company maintains a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility. $16 million was drawn in Q1 2006 to fund the Radionics acquisition. The company expects to use this facility to partially finance the Miltex acquisition.
- Risks:
- Legal: A patent infringement lawsuit against Merck KGaA is on appeal at the Federal Circuit (hearing scheduled for June 2006). A $6.4 million judgment is stayed pending final resolution; no gain has been recorded.
- Product Risk: Approximately 30% of revenues are derived from products containing bovine tissue, which face regulatory and public scrutiny.
- Currency: The company does not currently hedge foreign currency exposure, making margins sensitive to fluctuations in the Euro and British Pound.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final purchase price allocation for the Radionics acquisition, as certain elements remain preliminary.
- Monitor the status of the Merck KGaA patent litigation and the potential impact of the Federal Circuit hearing in June 2006.
- Assess the integration progress of Radionics and the impact of the JARIT direct billing model on gross margins and SG&A.
- Review the financing terms and closing conditions for the proposed $101 million Miltex acquisition.
- Track the adoption impact of FAS 123(R) on future earnings per share as stock-based compensation becomes a recurring expense.
