Fiscal Year 2017 Results
Total revenues for fiscal year 2017 were $99.1m versus $99.6m in 2016, a decrease of 0.5% year on year and were broken down as follows:
Full Year2016 | Full Year2017 | Full Year2017 vs 2016 | ||
US$’000 | US$’000 | % | ||
Point-of-Care | 16,908 | 16,774 | (0.8 | %) |
Clinical Laboratory | 82,703 | 82,366 | (0.4 | %) |
Total | 99,611 | 99,140 | (0.5 | %) |
Point-of-Care revenues decreased marginally from $16.9m in 2016 to $16.8m in 2017, which represents a decrease of 0.8% and was due to lower HIV sales in the USA due to lower public health expenditure. However, this was decrease was partly offset by an increase in HIV sales in Africa, where the Company has maintained its dominance of the confirmatory testing market.
Meanwhile, Clinical Laboratory revenues were $82.4m, a decrease of 0.4% versus 2016. This decrease was due to the impact of older products which were culled at the end of 2016. Excluding this factor underlying Clinical Laboratory revenues would have increased, largely driven by higher Diabetes and Autoimmunity revenues.
The gross margin for the year was 42.3% compared to 43.3% in 2016. This decrease was mainly attributable to the foreign exchange impact on distributor pricing and sales mix. In the case of Infectious Diseases revenues we had an increase of sales to China, which are lower margin while our higher margin US sales fell thus negatively impacting overall margins.
Research and Development expenses for the year increased by $0.6m to $5.7m. Meanwhile, Selling General and Administrative expenses increased from $29.5m to $30m, an increase of 1.7%. This was due to higher amortisation charges as well as normal inflationary pressures on wages and overheads.
Operating profit for the year decreased from $7.5m to $5.5m in 2017. This decrease was mainly attributable to the lower gross margin combined with increased indirect costs.
Profit after tax (before the impact of once-off items & non-cash financial income) was $2.3m which compares to $3.6m in 2016. This reduction is due to the lower operating profit mentioned above, partly offset by a lower tax charge. An overall tax credit was recorded in Q4, 2017 following the impact of recent changes to the US tax code on the Company’s deferred tax balances.
Basic EPS (excluding once-off charges & non-cash financial income) for the year was 10.6 cents versus 15.7 cents in 2016. Meanwhile, unconstrained diluted EPS was 25.7 cents compared to 29.0 cents in 2016. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and share option expense for the year was $11.5m.
The above measures exclude the impact of once-off charges amounting to $44.2m, more details of which are provided below.
Quarter 4 Results Total revenues for Q4, 2017 were $24.6m which compares to $23.7m in Q4, 2016, an increase of $0.9m and were broken down as follows:
2016Quarter 4 | 2017Quarter 4 | Increase/(decrease) | ||
US$’000 | US$’000 | % | ||
Point-of-Care | 3,950 | 3,817 | (3.4 | %) |
Clinical Laboratory | 19,731 | 20,735 | 5.1 | % |
Total | 23,681 | 24,552 | 3.7 | % |
Point-of-Care revenues for Q4, 2017 decreased slightly from $3.9m to $3.8m when compared to Q4, 2016, a decline of 3.4% due to lower HIV sales in the USA.
Clinical Laboratory revenues increased from $19.7m to $20.7m, which represents an increase of 5.1% compared to Q4, 2016. This growth would have been higher if the impact of the culled products had been taken into account. Excluding this, the increase was due to higher Diabetes and Autoimmunity sales.
Gross profit for Q4, 2017 amounted to $10.2m representing a gross margin of 41.5%. Whilst this was higher than the 40% achieved in Q4, 2016, it was lower than the gross margin reported in the other quarters of 2017 and this was attributable to the impact of the lower margin Infectious Diseases sales to China.
Research and Development expenses of $1.5m were higher than the equivalent quarter last year ($1.3m) though it was consistent with levels incurred in more recent quarters. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter at $7.6m were $0.4m higher than Q4, 2016. This was due to higher amortisation charges and wage and overhead inflation.
Operating profit for the quarter was $0.8m, which is higher than the $0.6m achieved in Q4, 2016. This is due to the combination of the higher revenues and gross margin, partly offset by higher indirect costs.
The profit after tax, before once-off charges and non-cash financial income, for the quarter was $0.9m and compares favourably to $0.1m for the equivalent period last year. In addition to the improved operating profit this was also due a larger tax credit arising from recent changes in the US tax code.
The basic EPS (excluding once-off charge and non-cash financial income) for the quarter was 4.2 cents versus 0.2 cents in Q4, 2016. Unconstrained diluted EPS for the quarter amounted to 7.7 cents, which compares to 4.3 cents in the equivalent quarter in 2016.
Cash generated from operations during the quarter was $4.8m, though this was offset by capital expenditure of $4.7m and interest and tax of $0.4m thus resulting in free cash outflows for the quarter of $0.3m. Other major cash outflows for the quarter included share buybacks of $1.3m, interest payments of $2.3m and $1.0m of payments incurred in relation to the closure of our facility in Sweden. Overall, this resulted in a cash balance at the end of the year of $57.6m.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and share option expense for the quarter was $2.4m.
The above measures exclude the impact of once-off charges amounting to $44.2m, more details of which are provided below.
Impairment and Once-off Charges
During the period the Company recognised impairment and once-off charges amounting to $44.2m (net of tax) which is broken down in the table below.
$m | ||
Impairment Charge | 41.8 | |
Flood Damage (Kansas City) | 0.9 | |
Settlement for Back Royalties | 0.5 | |
Sweden Closure Provision | (1.6 | ) |
Transfer of foreign currency translation reserve (Sweden) | 2.8 | |
Tax Impact | (0.2 | ) |
Total | 44.2 |
In accordance with the provisions of accounting standards, companies are required to carry out an annual impairment review in order to determine the appropriate carrying value of its net assets. This year’s review has resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $41.8m being recognised. A number of factors impacted this calculation including the Company’s market capitalisation at the end of the year which was lower compared to the end of 2016. This as well as recent volatility in the Company’s share price resulted in a higher cost of capital being attributable to the Company’s expected future cash flows.
In addition to the impairment charge, the Company has recognised a number of once-off items which are as follows:
The tax impact of the above mentioned items was a tax credit of $0.2m.
Share Buyback
During the quarter the Company bought back 328,000 shares at an average price of $4.95 and a total value of $1.6m, of which $1.3m was paid out during the quarter. This brings the total buyback for the year to over 1.3 million shares at an average price of $5.55 and a total value of $7.5m. A further 27,000 shares at an average price of $5.15 were bought back during the period since the end of 2017.
Comments
Commenting on the results Kevin Tansley, Chief Financial Officer stated “The profit before non-cash and once-off items for 2017 amounted to $2.3m compared to $3.6m in the previous year. Overall revenues were slightly lower and gross margins continued to be impacted by foreign exchange factors. Meanwhile, indirect costs increased by 1.8% for the year. This resulted in a diluted EPS of 25.7 cents versus 29 cents in 2016.
However, we did see improved financial performance in Q4, 2017 versus the equivalent quarter last year. In particular, the higher revenues and improved gross margins contributed to enhanced operating profit and resulted in an increase in diluted earnings per share from 4.3 cent to 7.7 cents.”
Commenting, Ronan O’Caoimh, Chief Executive Officer stated “Our revenues in 2017 were $99.1m which was slightly lower than $99.6m in 2016. This reduction was attributable to the impact of a number of products which were culled at the end of 2016. Our HIV revenues were broadly flat and this reflects our continuing domination of the confirmatory HIV market in Africa. Meanwhile, our Clinical Laboratory revenues (excluding culled products) experienced growth driven by higher Diabetes and Autoimmunity product sales.
In the year ahead, we will focus on continuing to grow revenues with particular emphasis on Diabetes and Autoimmunity. In this regard, we will benefit from our return to the Brazilian market, which is expected midway through the year. We will continue seek new markets for all of products, including Infectious Diseases where we will seek to counter the continuing decline of USA sales. From a HIV perspective we will look to grow revenues with the launch of our new screening assay.”
