“We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter of 2009. In these unprecedented economic times, the company continued to execute well,” said Patrick J. Balthrop, president and chief executive officer of Luminex. “While there were negative effects on sequential quarterly revenue resulting from caution in overall customer spending behavior, volatility related to both our consumable and assay revenue streams, and a lighter than anticipated flu season, we remain confident regarding 2009.

“Our confidence is supported by the 200 instrument shipments for the quarter, and the mild flu season that affected our xTAG® Respiratory Viral Panel sales in the first quarter has been offset by favorable effects resulting from recent events related to H1N1, or Swine flu,” continued Balthrop. “We did an excellent job controlling costs and expenses, delivering 69 percent gross margin and earnings per share excluding non-recurring items of $0.04.”

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

The Company is lowering 2009 full year revenue guidance from between $130 million and $140 million to between $125 million and $135 million. The adjusted full year figures represent an increase of between 20 percent and 29 percent over reported 2008 revenue.
