SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Molecular Devices Corporation (NASDAQ:MDCC) today announced record revenues and earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Revenues for the quarter were a record $47.4 million, or an increase of 6% compared to the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, operating income was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. GAAP operating income for the second quarter included a $4.3 million non-cash charge associated with the write-off of acquired in-process research and development related to the acquisition of the Arcturus Laser Capture Microdissection business and non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.3 million associated with the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the effects of the write-off of acquired in-process research and development and the non-cash stock compensation expense, operating income for the second quarter of 2006 was $7.6 million, or an increase of 26% compared to the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, fully diluted losses per share for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.03. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the write-off of acquired in-process research and development and the non-cash stock compensation expense, fully diluted earnings per share increased 33% to $0.28 in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.21 in the same period last year. A table reconciling operating income and fully diluted earnings per share on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. "We saw solid growth in our SpectraMax(R) and Meta life sciences imaging product lines during the quarter," stated Joseph D. Keegan, Ph.D., Molecular Devices' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Unfortunately, this growth was offset by declines in our Drug Discovery Imaging and Genomics product lines. Results from our recently acquired Laser Capture Microdissection business met our expectations during the quarter. We continue to believe that our worldwide life sciences market remains stable, but we have become more cautious on the outlook for drug discovery as a result of the weakness in imaging." The Company established guidance for the third quarter of 2006 and updated guidance for the full year 2006. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company anticipates revenues of $48 to $52 million, GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $0.22 to $0.26 and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $0.27 to $0.31 excluding $0.05 of non-cash stock compensation expense. For the full year 2006, the Company anticipates revenues of $190 to $198 million, GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $0.71 to $0.79 and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share of $1.10 to $1.18 excluding $0.20 per share of non-cash stock compensation expense, $0.06 per share gain on the sale of an equity investment and $0.25 per share write-off of acquired in-process research and development.

We recognized $0.1 million and $0.6 million of additional pre-tax expense associated with foreign currency transaction losses on short-term intercompany receivables and payables in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively. These amounts had previously been recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. In the first six months of 2005, these adjustments decreased basic net income (loss) per share by $0.03. Basic net income (loss) per share was not affected in the second quarter of 2005. In the second quarter and first six months of 2005, these adjustments decreased diluted net income (loss) per share by $0.01 and $0.02, respectively.

The difference between the shares calculated by applying FAS 123R and calculated under prior accounting standards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately 0.1 million shares and is immaterial. NON-GAAP MEASURES Each non-GAAP financial measure presented in this press release is included because Molecular Devices Corporation's management uses this information for internal planning and forecasting purposes as well as to monitor and evaluate on-going operating results and trends excluding the impact of FAS 123R and the unusual items related to the gain on the sale of an equity investment and the write-off of acquired in-process research and development. Molecular Devices' management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures are also useful for investors because the gain on the sale of an equity investment and the write-off of acquired in-process research and development are the results of transactions that are unusual due to their nature, size and frequency. In addition, excluding the impact of FAS 123R permits a more direct comparison to results in 2005, at which time FAS 123R had not yet been adopted. Consequently, excluding the impact of FAS 123R, the gain on the sale of an equity investment and the write-off of acquired in-process research and development from Molecular Devices' operating results provides investors an important insight into Molecular Devices' operating results and related trends of its core business. In addition, excluding the impact of FAS 123R, the gain on the sale of an equity investment and the write-off of acquired in-process research and development from Molecular Devices' financial guidance provides meaningful supplementary information to both management and investors that is indicative of Molecular Devices' core operating results and enhances an overall understanding of Molecular Devices' prospects for the future.
