Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported financial results from Hologic, Inc. indicate a mixed performance with a notable decline in COVID-19 assay sales, which has impacted both revenue and margins. The company's ability to exceed their guidance for revenue and EPS, despite having four fewer selling days, suggests a resilient underlying business. The increase in Breast Health revenue and Surgical revenue is indicative of a strong demand for Hologic's non-COVID products, which could be a positive sign for investors looking for stability beyond the pandemic-driven sales.

From a financial perspective, the execution of a $500 million accelerated share repurchase agreement and the repurchase of additional shares in the open market reflect a management confident in the company's valuation and future earnings potential. Additionally, the paydown of $250 million of floating rate debt signals a strategic approach to capital management and interest expense reduction. The increase in GAAP net income coupled with a decrease in Non-GAAP net income may require further analysis to understand the non-cash and one-time items affecting profitability.

Market Research Analyst

Analysis of Hologic's performance within the diagnostics and medical technology market reveals a strategic shift as the company navigates the reduction in COVID-19 related sales. The growth in Breast Health and Surgical segments signifies a successful pivot towards areas with sustainable growth potential. The market should note the company's ability to adapt to supply chain headwinds, as evidenced by the increased capital equipment revenue, which demonstrates operational resilience.

Investors may also find the company's international revenue growth noteworthy, as it suggests effective penetration in global markets despite currency headwinds. The company's updated guidance implies a cautious but optimistic outlook, adjusting for fewer selling days and a lower reliance on COVID-19 related sales. The organic revenue growth, excluding COVID-19, provides a clearer picture of the company's performance and may be a more reliable indicator of future success.

Legal and Regulatory Expert

From a regulatory standpoint, the mention of the company's adjustments to meet the European MDR/IVDR requirements is significant. This compliance with new regulations indicates Hologic's commitment to maintaining its market presence in Europe and its readiness to adapt to evolving regulatory landscapes. The company's proactive approach to regulatory compliance could mitigate risks associated with market access and product approvals, which is an important consideration for stakeholders.

Furthermore, the utilization of Non-GAAP financial measures provides additional transparency into the company's operations by excluding certain cash and non-cash items. However, stakeholders should be aware of the differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP reporting to fully understand the financial health and performance of the company. The detailed reconciliation of these measures ensures compliance with financial reporting standards and aids in maintaining investor confidence.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today the Company’s financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 30, 2023.

“We delivered strong revenue and profitability to start fiscal 2024, exceeding the high-end of our guidance for both the top-line and the bottom-line. Adjusting for the four fewer selling days in the quarter, we estimate our organic growth rate ex. COVID-19 was in the high single digits, highlighting the bigger, faster, stronger Hologic we are today,” said Stephen P. MacMillan, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Each one of our divisions delivered solid results setting the stage for another strong fiscal year. We are excited to continue our durable and dependable performance as we progress through fiscal 2024.”

Recent Highlights

• Revenue of $1,013.1 million decreased (5.7%) for the quarter, or (6.4%) in constant currency, primarily driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period, as expected.
  • Excluding COVID-19 revenues, total organic revenue grew 6.1%, or 5.2% on a constant currency basis despite the prior year period including four extra selling days.
• Diagnostics revenue decreased (19.9%), or (20.6%) in constant currency, primarily driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period.
  • Excluding COVID-19 revenues, Diagnostics revenue declined (0.9%) on an organic, constant currency basis.
  • Molecular Diagnostics revenue declined (24.8%), or (25.4%) in constant currency, primarily driven by lower sales of COVID-19 assays compared to the prior year period.
  • Excluding COVID-19 revenues, Molecular Diagnostics revenue grew 1.9% on an organic, constant currency basis.
• Breast Health revenue increased 13.0%, or 12.2% in constant currency, primarily due to higher capital equipment revenue compared to the prior year period as supply chain headwinds impacted our ability to manufacture sufficient units to meet demand in fiscal Q1 2023.
• Surgical revenue grew 5.3%, or 4.6% in constant currency, primarily driven by strong results from MyoSure, Fluent Fluid Management, and Laparoscopy.
• Cash flow from operations remained strong in the first quarter at $220.0 million.

Financial Guidance for the Second Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2024

“Hologic delivered another strong financial performance in our fiscal first quarter of 2024, beating our estimates on both revenue and earnings” said Karleen Oberton, Hologic’s Chief Financial Officer. “We continue to operate from a position of strength, entering our second quarter with momentum and confidence to deliver on our financial commitments for fiscal 2024.”

Hologic’s financial guidance for the second quarter and full year 2024 is shown in the table below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 19.75%, and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 239 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2024 as in fiscal 2023. Organic revenue guidance for fiscal 2024 is in constant currency and excludes the divested Blood Screening and SSI ultrasound imaging businesses. Revenue from acquired businesses is generally included in organic revenue guidance starting a year after the acquisition. In fiscal 2024, all prior transactions are part of Hologic’s organic revenue base. Organic revenue excluding COVID-19 is in constant currency and is organic revenue excluding COVID-19 assay revenue, COVID-19 related revenue, and discontinued product sales in Diagnostics.

	Current Guidance*				Previous Guidance
	Guidance $	Reported % Increase (Decrease)	Constant Currency % Increase (Decrease)	Organic excluding COVID-19 % Increase (Decrease)	Guidance $
Fiscal 2024
Revenue	$3,990 - $4,065	(1.0%) to 0.9%	(1.3%) to 0.6%	4.7% to 6.8%	$3,920 - $4,020
GAAP EPS	$3.52 - $3.67	92.3% to 100.5%			$3.19 - $3.39
Non-GAAP EPS	$3.97 - $4.12	0.3% to 4.0%			$3.90 - $4.10
Q2 2024
Revenue	$990 - $1,010	(3.6%) to (1.6%)	(3.7%) to (1.8%)	2.3% to 4.5%
GAAP EPS	$0.77 - $0.82	(11.5%) to (5.7%)
Non-GAAP EPS	$0.95 - $1.00	(10.4%) to (5.7%)

*Fiscal 2024 has four fewer selling days compared to fiscal 2023. Factored into our guidance, we estimate the impact of the four fewer selling days to be a headwind of more than 100 bps for the full year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: constant currency revenues; organic revenues; organic revenues excluding COVID-19, non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP effective tax rate; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP net margin; non-GAAP EPS; adjusted EBITDA; net leverage ratio and adjusted ROIC. Organic revenue for the fiscal first quarter of 2024 excludes the divested Blood Screening and SSI ultrasound imaging businesses. Revenue from acquired businesses is generally included in organic revenue starting a year after the acquisition. Organic revenue excluding COVID-19 revenues is organic revenue less COVID-19 assay revenue, COVID-19 related sales of instruments, collection kits and ancillaries, COVID-19 related revenue from Diagenode and Mobidiag, as well as COVID-19 related license revenue, and revenues from discontinued products. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income, EPS, and other non-GAAP financial measures to exclude, as applicable: (i) the amortization of intangible assets; (ii) the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and equipment and the loss to record assets held-for-sale to fair value less costs to sell; (iii) adjustments to record contingent consideration at fair value; (iv) charges to write-off inventory for a product line discontinuance; (v) restructuring charges, facility closure and consolidation charges (including accelerated depreciation), and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions (including retention, transaction bonuses, legal and professional consulting services); (vi) transaction related expenses for acquisitions; (vii) third-party expenses incurred related to the implementation of the European MDR/IVDR requirements and obtaining the appropriate approvals for its existing products; (viii) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (ix) the unrealized (gains) losses on the mark-to-market of foreign currency contracts to hedge operating results for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting; (x) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges (benefits); (xi) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of investments; (xii) the impacts related to internal restructurings and non-operational items; (xiii) other one-time, non-recurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results; and (xiv) income taxes related to such adjustments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest income/expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income. The Company defines its net leverage ratio as the principal amount of its debt net of cash and cash equivalents, divided by its EBITDA for the last four quarters. The Company defines its adjusted ROIC as its non-GAAP operating income tax effected by its non-GAAP effective tax rate divided by the sum of its average net debt and stockholders’ equity, which is adjusted to exclude the effects of goodwill and intangible assets and equipment impairment charges.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of Hologic's historical operating results, comparison to competitors' operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Hologic's business.

Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.
