Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Third-quarter reported revenues were $461.1 million, up 4.4% compared to $441.8 million reported for the third quarter of 2008. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 11.1% compared to the same period last year. This improvement is primarily the result of organic growth across a range of products in Bio-Rad's two main areas, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics as well as the additional revenue generated from the purchase of certain DiaMed distributors since the third quarter of 2008.

Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the third quarter was $38.5 million, or $1.38 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $27.8 million or $1.00 per share, respectively, during the same period last year. Third-quarter gross margin increased to 56.5% compared to 54.4% during the same quarter last year.

Year-to-date revenues were $1.3 billion, down 2.1% compared to the first three quarters in 2008. Adjusting for the impact of currency effects, revenue growth was 5.9%. Year-to-date net income attributable to Bio-Rad for 2009 was $106.8 million, or $3.85 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $97.7 million, or $3.54 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2008.

"We are pleased with the results of the third-quarter, which show continued strength in many of our product areas," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we had expected, the economy continued to have somewhat of a negative impact on customer spending particularly in our Life Science segment, but we are encouraged by the resiliency we've seen in many of our markets."

Life Science

The Life Science segment net sales for the third quarter were $150.4 million, down 4.1% or 0.4% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the same period last year. Sales across a number of product lines in the Life Science segment performed well during the quarter, in particular, process chromatography and gene expression products. Performance of the segment also benefited from sales of the Company's ProteOn(TM) protein interaction array system, as many customers began to order additional instruments. Growth in the Life Science segment was negatively impacted by slowed research markets in both the U.S. and Europe, which reflect constraint and delays in spending by academic and biopharmaceutical customers. In September, Bio-Rad and Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR), a manufacturer of mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, announced the launch of the Lucid Proteomics System, which improves the possibility of discovering biomarkers that have clinical relevance.

Clinical Diagnostics

The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $307.5 million for the third quarter, up 9.3% compared to the third quarter in 2008. On a currency-neutral basis, sales for the segment increased 17.8%. These gains are the result of strong sales across a number of product lines, including blood virus testing products, quality control products, and the Company's BioPlex® 2200 system. The segment also benefited from additional revenue resulting from the purchase of certain DiaMed European distributors in the fourth quarter of 2008, as well as the purchase of the DiaMed distributor in India in the second quarter of this year. In September, Bio-Rad announced the launch of Unity Real Time® 2.0, the latest version of its expert QC Data Management solution. The platform is designed to manage laboratory QC and to validate analytical runs.

Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) November 3, 2009. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 866-700-7173 (in the U.S.) or 617-213-8838 (international), access number 78653201.
