OraSure Announces 2004 Second Quarter Results
- Company Reports Net Profit for the Quarter -
- Increases Full Year Revenue Guidance -
BETHLEHEM, PA – August 3, 2004 – (BW HealthWire) – OraSure Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq NM:OSUR), a market leader in oral fluid diagnostics, today announced its financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2004 increased 37% to $13.2 million, compared to $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Product revenues for the second quarter increased 39% to $13.1 million, compared to $9.4 million in 2003. Both amounts represent record quarterly revenues for the Company. The Company also recorded a net profit for the quarter of $142,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $530,000, or $(0.01) per share, in the second quarter of 2003.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company had total revenues of $25.6 million, a 40% increase over revenues of $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $25.4 million, or 43% higher than the $17.8 million in product revenues recorded during the comparable period in 2003. The Company recorded a net loss of $20,000, or $(0.00) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.04) per share, for the comparable period in 2003.
“We are certainly very pleased with the Company’s financial results during the second quarter of 2004,” said Douglas A. Michels, President and CEO of OraSure Technologies. “This is the sixth consecutive quarter of record revenues and most of the Company’s product lines contributed with strong performances. We believe we are on track to achieve 2004 full year revenues of between $51.5 and $52.5 million, although our ability to turn a profit for the year as a whole is now a bit more uncertain. Specifically, the additional expenses associated with the change in CEO and the patent litigation we recently commenced against Schering-Plough will make it difficult to achieve full-year profitability in 2004.”
The revenue increase during the second quarter was primarily attributable to increased sales of the Company’s Freeze Off™ and Histofreezer® cryosurgical wart removal products, OraQuick® rapid HIV-1 antibody test and Intercept® oral fluid drug test. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues in the insurance risk assessment market.
Gross margin in the second quarter was approximately 58%, which was a decrease from the 60% gross margin recorded during the second quarter of 2003. Gross margin was positively affected by more efficient utilization of the Company’s manufacturing capacity, offset by a less favorable product sales mix and higher startup production costs associated with both of the products transferred to the Company’s Bethlehem, Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities and the recently launched UPlink® rapid point of care oral fluid drug detection system.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2004 increased to approximately $7.7 million from approximately $6.4 million in the comparable period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to higher advertising expenditures, higher staffing expenses, including CEO transition-related expenses, and higher legal fees, partially offset by a reduction in research and development expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $15.3 million, compared to $12.5 million for the comparable period in 2003.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled approximately $66.0 million and working capital equaled approximately $67.9 million at June 30, 2004, compared to approximately $64.0 million and $67.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003.
Cash flow from operations was approximately $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2004. This is the ninth consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.9 million.
