HEMOSENSE FISCAL THIRD QUARTER REVENUE INCREASES 101% Fiscal 2007 Revenue Guidance Revised Upward to $32 Million to $34
Million HemoSense Signs Definitive Agreement to be Acquired by Inverness
HemoSense, Inc. (AMEX: HEM) – a point of care
diagnostic healthcare company that has developed, manufactures and sells
easy-to-use, handheld blood coagulation monitoring systems for use by
patients and healthcare professionals in the management of warfarin
medication – today reported financial results
for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007. As announced
yesterday, HemoSense and Inverness Medical Innovations (AMEX: IMA) have
entered into a definitive agreement for Inverness to acquire HemoSense
in an all stock transaction. Under terms of the agreement, each holder
of a share of HemoSense common stock will receive 0.274192 shares of
Inverness common stock, which represents a 37.5% premium based on the
average trading prices of both companies over the five trading days
prior to yesterday.
Total revenue for the fiscal 2007 third quarter was $9.2 million, an
increase of 101% from total revenue of $4.6 million in the fiscal 2006
third quarter. Domestic revenue was $8.0 million and international
revenue was $1.2 million, representing increases of 115% and 41%,
respectively, compared with the same quarter in the prior year. Total
revenue included $6.9 million in revenue for INRatio®
test strips, a 102% increase from the fiscal 2006 third quarter, and
$2.3 million in revenue for INRatio meters and accessories, a 99%
increase over the fiscal 2006 third quarter.
HemoSense reported a gross profit of $4.2 million for the quarter, or
46% of total revenue, compared with a gross profit of $1.1 million, or
23% of total revenue, for the fiscal 2006 third quarter. The 297%
improvement from the prior period was due primarily to increased unit
production volumes and sales of test strips, as well as to continued
process efficiencies.
Operating expenses for the quarter were $4.5 million, up 13% from $4.0
million for the fiscal 2006 third quarter.
The net loss for the fiscal 2007 third quarter decreased to $687,000,
or $0.05 per share, from $3.1 million, or $0.27 per share, for the
fiscal 2006 third quarter. Included in the net loss and the net loss
per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 is a non-cash charge of
$171,000, or approximately $0.01 per share, related to stock-based
compensation expense pursuant to SFAS No. 123R, compared with $81,000,
or less than $0.01 per share, for the fiscal 2006 third quarter.
"We are pleased with the growth in our sales
in the fiscal 2007 third quarter,” said Jim
Merselis, President and CEO of HemoSense. "During
the quarter, we gained access to certain LabCorp®
laboratories to make our system available to LabCorp patient service
centers and affiliated physicians. We believe this arrangement is a
strong endorsement of our technology and an opportunity to support a
recognized leader in healthcare.
"We continued to significantly improve our
margins, and remain focused on gaining further economies of scale. In
order to meet expected demand, we have begun our expansion into the
building adjacent to our current facility, which is expected to
effectively double our production and warehousing capacity,”
he added. "We are also supportive of the
recent request to Medicare by our industry coalition to expand its
reimbursement coverage to include atrial fibrillation and deep vein
thrombosis patients who are being treated with warfarin in addition to
mechanical heart valve patients who are currently covered.”
HemoSense reported cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of
$16.2 million as of June 30, 2007.
Year-to-Date Financial Results
For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, total revenue was $23.9
million, an increase of 99% from the comparable fiscal 2006 nine month
period. Year-to-date domestic revenue was $20.6 million, an increase of
109% over the corresponding fiscal 2006 period, and international
revenue was $3.3 million, an increase of 52% over the corresponding
fiscal 2006 period. Total revenue included $17.8 million in test strip
revenue, an increase of 118% from the comparable fiscal 2006 period, and
$6.1 million in meters and accessories revenue, up 58% from the
comparable fiscal 2006 period.

compared with a gross profit of $3.2 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2006. Operating expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2007
were $12.8 million, an increase from $11.0 million in the comparable
2006 period. The net loss in the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was
$3.8 million, or $0.30 per share, compared with a net loss of $8.4
million, or $0.76 per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2006.
Fiscal Year 2007 Financial Guidance
HemoSense today updated its financial guidance for its fiscal year
ending September 30, 2007. The guidance takes into consideration the
following factors and assumptions:
Anticipated continuing increased demand for the INRatio system
Capital expenditures related to the planned facilities expansion
Anticipated increases in operating costs associated with the
facilities expansion and higher production levels
Expected subsequent operating efficiencies related to increased volume
and expanded production and warehousing capability
HemoSense now anticipates fiscal 2007 total revenue to be in the range
of $32 million to $34 million, representing growth of 98% to 110% over
fiscal 2006. HemoSense also expects the fiscal 2007 net loss to be in
the range of $4.5 million to $5.0 million, which includes approximately
$570,000 in stock-based compensation expense. The net loss per common
share is expected to be $0.35 to $0.39 based on approximately 12.7
million average common shares outstanding.
