Quidel Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - October 26, 2016) - Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL), a provider of rapid diagnostic testing solutions, cellular-based virology assays and molecular diagnostic systems, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights:

  • Total revenues increased 5% to $49.3 million as compared to $46.8 million in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Solana® Influenza A+B Assay.
  • Received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for Solana® Trichomonas Assay.
  • Reported GAAP EPS of $(0.02) per share as compared to $(0.02) per share in the third quarter of 2015 and non-GAAP EPS of $0.10 per diluted share as compared to $0.05 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2015.

Third Quarter 2016 Results
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $49.3 million, a 5% improvement over sales of $46.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, due to greater sales of Women's Health products and higher Grant Revenue that were partially offset by lower Infectious Disease product revenue. Total Infectious Disease product revenues decreased 2% in the third quarter, led by lower Influenza revenue, partially offset by higher Strep A product revenue. Over the same period, Women's Health revenues increased 7% to $10.2 million.

"In the third quarter, we saw evidence of continued traction and growth across all key franchises. Sofia immunoassay instrument placements were up 37% over the prior year quarter, and the number of customers amending and renewing their Sofia agreements was substantial as well," said Douglas Bryant, president and CEO of Quidel Corporation. "Molecular product sales were also up noticeably, driven by the successful introduction of Solana Group A Strep earlier in the year."

Total costs and expenses in the third quarter of 2016 were $47.2 million as compared to $45.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. Cost of Sales increased by $0.7 million, and gross margin for the quarter was 64%, equal to the number in the third quarter of last year. Operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, were $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to $26.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. Research and Development expenses increased by $0.4 million over the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher development spend on Sofia 2, as well as increased clinical trial spend on Solana products. Sales and Marketing expenses decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to lower sales compensation costs. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2016 increased by $0.7 million, primarily due to integration costs associated with the Immutopics acquisition and professional services.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $0.6 million, or $(0.02) per share, compared to net loss of $0.8 million, or $(0.02) per share, for the third quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense and certain non-recurring items, net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $3.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015.

Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016
Total revenues decreased 3% to $138.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $143.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by lower Infectious Disease revenue due to lower sales of Influenza and other Respiratory products in the first quarter. Women's Health products grew 8% due to increased sales of Bone Health, Autoimmune/Complement and Thyretain products.

Flu product revenues through the first nine months of 2016 decreased 21% from the same period in 2015 to $50.9 million.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, total costs and expenses were $149.1 million as compared to $143.6 million over the same period in 2015. Cost of Sales increased by $0.7 million from the first nine months of 2015 driven by lower flu sales, creating a less favorable product mix. Research and Development expense increased by $5.6 million driven by the Savanna MDx platform, our next generation Sofia instrument and clinical trials spend for Solana products. Sales and Marketing expense increased by $0.6 million, primarily due to promotional activities for our Virena platform. General & Administrative expenses decreased by $1.5 million due primarily to 2015 business development expenditures, which did not repeat in the first nine months of 2016, as well as the suspension of the medical device tax.

For the nine-month period in 2016, net loss was $11.9 million, or $(0.36) per share, as compared to net loss of $5.7 million, or $(0.17) per share, for the same nine-month period in 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense and certain non-recurring items, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $7.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2015.
