Insights

Fortrea's Q2 2024 results paint a mixed picture. Revenue declined 8.6% year-over-year to $662.4 million, while the company swung to a GAAP net loss of $99.3 million. However, there are some positive signs: Adjusted EBITDA increased 103.7% sequentially and the trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio of 1.16x indicates future revenue growth potential. The debt reduction of $504 million is significant, improving the balance sheet. The revised full-year guidance suggests continued challenges, with revenue now expected between $2,700-$2,750 million, down from previous estimates. Investors should monitor the company's transformation efforts and margin improvement initiatives closely.

Fortrea's Q2 results reflect ongoing industry challenges in the CRO space. The book-to-bill ratio of 0.96x for the quarter, while slightly below 1, isn't alarming given the 1.16x trailing 12-month figure. However, the lower net new business in H1 2024 is concerning, as it's impacting H2 revenue projections. The company's focus on becoming a pure-play clinical services organization could be strategic long-term, but short-term pain is evident. The divestiture of Endpoint Clinical and Patient Access businesses signals a streamlining of operations. Investors should watch for signs of success in Fortrea's transformation efforts and any improvements in winning new contracts.

Fortrea's ongoing IT systems transition is a critical factor in its performance. The company has exited 60% of its Transition Services Agreement, with IT systems being the most challenging part. This transition likely contributes to the current financial strain but is essential for long-term efficiency. The associated one-time costs are impacting short-term profitability, but successful completion could lead to improved operations and cost savings. Investors should monitor the progress of this IT transition, as it's important for Fortrea's future competitiveness in the CRO market. The company's ability to leverage technology for innovative clinical services could be a key differentiator going forward.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, from continuing operations:

  • Revenues of $662.4 million
  • GAAP net loss of $(99.3) million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $55.2 million
  • GAAP and adjusted diluted loss per share of $(1.11) and $(0.03), respectively
  • Book-to-bill ratio of 0.96x, resulting in 1.16x book-to-bill for the trailing 12 months
  • Completed divestiture of assets relating to the Endpoint Clinical and Patient Access businesses
  • Debt paydown of $504 million in the quarter using initial divestiture and securitization proceeds
  • Revised full-year guidance

We are transforming. I’m confident we’re headed in the right direction to deliver value for all our stakeholders, delivering solutions that bring new treatments to patients faster.”

All commentary in this press release relates to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter was $662.4 million, compared to $725.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Second quarter GAAP net loss was $(99.3) million and diluted loss per share was $(1.11) compared to second quarter of 2023 GAAP net income of $25.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.28. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $55.2 million, compared to second quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $71.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially by 103.7% in the quarter.

Backlog as of June 30, 2024, was $7.366 billion, and the book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 0.96x.

First Half 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the first half was $1,324.5 million, compared to $1,419.0 million in the first half of 2023.

First half GAAP net loss was $(179.1) million and diluted loss per share was $(2.01) compared to first half of 2023 GAAP net income of $33.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.37. First half adjusted EBITDA was $82.3 million, compared to first half of 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $118.7 million.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $126.2 million, and gross debt was $1,142.0 million on June 30, 2024. Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $248.1 million, and free cash flow was $227.6 million.

Full-Year 2024 Guidance

For the full year 2024, the Company is revising its revenue guidance to a range of $2,700 million to $2,750 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $220 million to $240 million. The reduction in revenue is primarily due to lower pass-through revenues and, to a lesser extent, lower service-fee revenues in the second half as a result of lower net new business in the first half of 2024. The update to the adjusted EBITDA range is driven by the lower service-fee revenues. The guidance assumes foreign currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2023, remain in effect for the forecast period and has been updated to reflect revised anticipated performance.

Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes information based on financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as a supplement to the Company’s financial statements based on GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance understanding of the Company’s financial performance, but none of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP, and non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision making and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a more meaningful indicator of the underlying operating performance of the business. For example, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes all the amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired customer relationships and backlog, databases, non-compete agreements and trademarks, trade names and other from non-GAAP expense and income measures as such amounts can be significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Although the Company excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets from the Company’s non-GAAP expenses, the Company believes that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining net income attributable to the Company. As a result, internal management reports feature non-GAAP measures which are also used to prepare strategic plans and annual budgets and review management compensation. The Company also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedules attached to this release for relevant definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company’s full-year 2024 guidance measures (other than revenue) are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, stock-based compensation and other items not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

Non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to the Company, many of which present non-GAAP measures when reporting their results. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool. They are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, are not measures of financial condition or liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider such performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
