Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 results demonstrate robust performance with $987.9 million in revenue, up 4.5% year-over-year. Key highlights include strong organic growth of 5.0% excluding COVID-19 impacts and impressive margin expansion with non-GAAP operating margins reaching 30.0%, up 170 basis points.

The company's diversified revenue streams show healthy growth across segments: Diagnostics up 6.5%, Breast Health up 6.4% and Surgical up 5.7%. The $2.16 billion cash position and low 0.3x adjusted net leverage ratio provide significant financial flexibility for future growth initiatives.

The FY2025 guidance of $4.15-4.2 billion in revenue suggests continued momentum, with organic growth excluding COVID-19 projected at 3.4-4.7%. Strategic acquisitions of Endomagnetics and pending Gynesonics deal indicate focused portfolio expansion in women's health.

Market Research Analyst

The diagnostics segment shows particularly strong performance with 9.5% organic growth excluding COVID-19, driven by molecular diagnostics. The strategic shift away from COVID-19 dependency is succeeding, with core business growth offsetting declining pandemic-related revenues.

The planned $250 million ASR program and previous $808 million in share repurchases in FY2024 reflect management's confidence in future performance and commitment to shareholder returns. The acquisition strategy targeting Breast Health (Endomagnetics) and Surgical (Gynesonics) demonstrates focused expansion in high-margin segments.

Financial Guidance for the First Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2025

“In our fiscal fourth quarter of 2024, Hologic delivered strong financial performance, capping off another solid year of growth,” said Karleen Oberton, Hologic’s chief financial officer. “Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, our robust balance sheet and projected strong cash flows provide exceptional operational flexibility, positioning us well to achieve sustainable revenue growth and even faster EPS growth over the long term.”

Hologic’s financial guidance for the first quarter and full year 2025 is shown in the table below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 19.5%, and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 235 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2025 as in fiscal 2024. Organic revenue guidance for fiscal 2025 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. 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.

The guidance below includes the financial results of the closed Endomagnetics acquisition for the full year, which will become organic in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, but does not include any contribution from the Gynesonics acquisition, which has not closed. There is no year over year net selling day impact comparing 2025 to 2024. First quarter and full year fiscal 2025 guidance incorporates the expected impact from the ongoing temporary stop-ship of Horizon DXA systems (Skeletal).

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 income margin; non-GAAP EPS; adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net leverage ratio and adjusted ROIC. Organic revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 excludes the divested Blood Screening and SSI ultrasound imaging businesses and the acquired Endomagnetics business. 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 in Diagnostics. 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) the fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold during the period (vi) 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); (vii) transaction related expenses for acquisitions and dispositions; (viii) third-party expenses incurred related to the implementation of the European MDR/IVDR requirements and obtaining the appropriate approvals for its existing products; (ix) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (x) 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; (xi) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges (benefits); (xii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of investments; (xiii) the impacts related to internal restructurings and non-operational items; (xiv) 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 (xv) 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 adjusted net leverage ratio as the principal amount of its debt net of cash and cash equivalents, divided by its adjusted EBITDA for the last four quarters. The Company defines its adjusted ROIC as its non-GAAP operating income for a trailing twelve months 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 after-tax 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 many of which 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.
