Bio-Rad Reports Third-Quarter Revenue Growth of More Than 9 Percent
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Third-quarter reported revenues were $516.5 million, up 9.5% compared to $471.5 million reported for the third quarter of 2010. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 1.1% compared to the same period last year. Third-quarter gross margin increased to 57.3%, compared to 56.5% during the same quarter in 2010.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the third quarter was $45.9 million, or $1.61 per share on a fully diluted basis versus $1.59 per share reported for the same period last year.
Year-to-date revenues grew by 9.3% to $1.5 billion compared to $1.4 billion for the first three quarters of 2010. Adjusting for the impact of currency, revenue growth was 3.4%.
Year-to-date net income attributable to Bio-Rad for 2011 was $119.0 million, or $4.18 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to $117.6 million, or $4.18 per share during the same period in 2010.
"While performance in the third-quarter shows good momentum and growth in many of our core product areas, we are feeling the impact of an uncertain economic environment in many of our markets abroad," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we wrap up the year, we will carefully monitor these pressures on our global operation and look for new opportunities to grow our business."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the third quarter were $171.5 million, up 11.9% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 5.1% compared to the third quarter of 2010. These results reflect strength of the segment's electrophoresis and imaging product lines, which showed solid growth during the third quarter. Performance was also bolstered by the Company's amplification products, several new product launches, as well as assays for the Bio-Plex® suspension array system, which can analyze up to 100 biomolecules in a single patient sample.
Clinical Diagnostics
Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the third quarter rose to $341.3 million, up 8.4% compared to the same quarter last year. On a currency-neutral basis, sales were down 0.9%. Overall performance of the Clinical Diagnostics segment was negatively affected by economic challenges impacting worldwide healthcare markets, partially offset by continuing growth of our quality controls and BioPlex® 2200 product lines. In July, the Company announced that it had received FDA Premarket Application approval from the FDA for its fourth-generation HIV assay, the GS HIV Combo Ag/Ab EIA (enzyme immunoassay). The new assay detects both HIV antigens and HIV antibodies, offering earlier detection of HIV infections, including acute HIV infections.
Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) November 1, 2011. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 800-322-5044 (in the U.S.) or 617-614-4927 (international), access number 51248028.

Bio-Rad Reports First-Quarter Currency-Neutral Revenue Growth of 4.9 Percent
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
First-quarter reported revenues were $485.1 million, up 6.8% compared to $454.2 million reported for the first quarter of 2010. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 4.9% compared to the same period last year. First-quarter gross margin was 57.2% compared to 56.6% during the same quarter last year. Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the first quarter of 2011 was $33.0 million, or $1.16 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to $1.24 per share, during the same period last year. Earnings per share in the first quarter was negatively impacted by one-time expenses of approximately $4 million related to the retirement of debt as well as a higher effective tax rate for the quarter, primarily due to adjustments to foreign tax credits.
"Performance in the first quarter reflects strength across many of our product areas," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we had anticipated, budgetary constraints faced by some of our customers outside the U.S. had an impact on our performance during the quarter. As the year progresses, we will continue to seek opportunities to improve our operational efficiencies and grow our business."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the first quarter were $154.5 million, up 2.1% compared to the first quarter of 2010. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales were essentially flat compared to the same period last year. Sales in the U.S. for the Life Science segment were strong but were offset by a continued slowness during the first quarter in markets outside the U.S., primarily in Europe and Japan. Sales of recently introduced products continued to gain rapid customer acceptance in the first quarter, these include the TC10™ automated cell counter as well as the Mini-PROTEAN® TGX™ precast electrophoresis gel product line. In March, Bio-Rad launched the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ transfer system, a rapid western blotting instrument that allows researchers to efficiently transfer proteins from gel to blot in three minutes.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $327.2 million for the first quarter, up 9.1% compared to the first quarter in 2010. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 7.3% from the same period last year. These gains were largely due to growth across product lines most notably blood typing, quality controls, and microbiology. Performance in the Clinical Diagnostics segment also benefited from placements of the Company's BioPlex® 2200 system in addition to sales of assays that run on the system. Customer interest of the Company's IH-1000 blood typing system continues to increase in markets outside the U.S. The instrument is a fully-automated, high-throughput system designed for the blood transfusion laboratory.
Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) May 3, 2011. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 800-261-3417 (in the U.S.) or 617-614-3673 (international), access number 12268652.

Bio-Rad Reports Record Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Financial Results
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Fourth-quarter reported revenues were $533.7 million, up 7.8% compared to $495.1 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2009. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 9.9% compared to the same period last year. This increase was the result of organic growth across Bio-Rad's two main areas, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics as well as revenue of $15.3 million resulting from the acquisition of certain diagnostics businesses of Biotest AG, which were added to the Company's portfolio in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the revenue from the Biotest acquisition, fourth-quarter revenues were up 6.7% on a currency neutral basis. Fourth-quarter gross margin increased to 56.2% compared to 54.2% during the same quarter last year.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $67.9 million, or $2.41 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to $1.35 per share, during the same period last year. In December, the Company refinanced a portion of its long-term debt issuing $425 million of senior debt. Proceeds were used to retire $200 million of subordinated debt in December and, subsequent to year end, $225 million of subordinated debt. The effect of this transaction on pretax earnings for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $5.3 million, which is included in interest expense.
The tax provision for the fourth quarter was a benefit of $10.7 million. This extraordinary fourth-quarter provision benefit includes the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. and the favorable impact of the extension of the U.S. Research and Experimentation tax credit. Without these two items, the fourth-quarter effective tax rate would have been approximately 25%.
For the full year, sales grew by 8.0% to $1,927.1 million compared to $1,784.2 million in 2009. Year over year, there was insignificant currency impact on sales growth. Full-year net income attributable to Bio-Rad was $185.5 million, or $6.59 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $144.6 million, or $5.20 per share, respectively, in 2009. Full-year gross margin increased to 56.6% compared to last year's figure of 56.0%.
"We are pleased by our performance during the fourth quarter and the entire year," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "In spite of a cautious business environment in the U.S. and Europe throughout 2010, we are encouraged by customer acceptance of several new products including our TC10™ automated cell counter and our IH-1000 automated blood typing platform. Although continued economic pressure from European markets is predicted, we expect 2011 to be another year of progress for Bio-Rad."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $192.9 million, up 1.0% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 2.2%. Full-year reported revenues for the Life Science segment were $648.1 million, up 2.6% over the prior year, or an increase of 2.2% on a currency-neutral basis. European sales continued to lag in the fourth quarter as a result of weak economic conditions facing government-funded research. During the quarter, the Life Science segment benefited from sales of precast electrophoresis gels as well as its next generation PCR instruments, in particular, the CFX96™ real-time PCR detection system.
The TC10 automated cell counter also continued to gain rapid customer acceptance on a global basis. In November, Bio-Rad launched the Criterion® TGX Stain-Free™ precast electrophoresis gels which, when combined with Bio-Rad's Gel Doc™ EZ imager, provide researchers with the fastest protein separation and visualization available.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $336.5 million for the fourth quarter, up 12.0% compared to the same period in 2009. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 14.7%. These results include additional revenue of $15.3 million from the diagnostics businesses of Biotest AG that were added to the Company's portfolio in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding revenue from the Biotest acquisition, net sales were up 9.3% on a currency-neutral basis compared to the same quarter last year. Full-year reported revenues for the Clinical Diagnostics segment were $1,265.3 million, an increase of 11.0% over the prior year. On a currency-neutral basis, full-year sales increased 11.3% compared to 2009 results. Excluding revenue from the Biotest acquisition, full-year sales increased 6.3% on a currency neutral basis. Performance in the Clinical Diagnostics segment during the fourth quarter was the result of growth across all product lines, most notably quality controls, blood typing, diabetes monitoring, as well as sales of the BioPlex 2200® system. During the fourth quarter, the Company announced FDA clearance and the U.S. launch of Bio-Rad's BioPlex® 2200 Anti-CCP test for the early detection of rheumatoid arthritis. This novel marker has been shown to have superior diagnostic specificity.

Bio-Rad Reports Third-Quarter Currency-Neutral Revenue Growth of More Than 5 Percent
Today : Wednesday 3 November 2010
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Third-quarter reported revenues were $471.5 million, up 2.3% compared to $461.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2009. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 5.4% compared to the same period last year. Reflected in these results is $13.6 million additional revenue generated by certain diagnostics businesses of Biotest AG, which were added to the Company's portfolio in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the revenue from the Biotest acquisition, third-quarter revenues were down 0.7% or up 2.2% on a currency neutral basis, compared to the same period last year. Third-quarter gross margin was 56.5%, unchanged, compared to the same quarter in 2009.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the third quarter was $44.8 million or $1.59 per share on a fully diluted basis versus $1.38 per share reported for the same period last year.
Year-to-date revenues grew by 8.1% to $1.4 billion compared to the first three quarters in 2009. Adjusting for the impact of currency, revenue growth was 7.3%. Excluding the additional revenue from the Biotest acquisition, year-to-date organic revenues grew by 4.9%, or 4.1% on a currency-neutral basis.
Year-to-date net income attributable to Bio-Rad for 2010 was $117.6 million, or $4.18 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $106.8 million, or $3.85 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2009.
"Third-quarter results show consistency in many of our core product areas in spite of some weak markets in the U.S. and abroad," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "As the year wraps up, we will carefully monitor economic pressure on our global operation and look for new opportunities to grow our business."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the third quarter were $153.2 million, up 1.9% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 3.5% compared to the third quarter of 2009. Sales growth of the Life Science segment in the U.S. reflects strength in spending by academic and biopharmaceutical customers; European sales continue to lag due to weak economic conditions facing government-funded research. Performance of the segment benefited from strong sales of core product lines including the Company's next generation PCR instruments, in particular, the CFX96™ real-time PCR detection system and associated reagents as well as the TC10™ automated cell counter, which was introduced earlier this year. Bio-Rad's Mini-PROTEAN® TGX™ precast electrophoresis gel product line, which offers high resolution and fast time to results is also continuing to gain customer acceptance.
Clinical Diagnostics
Reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment in the third quarter rose to $314.9 million, up 2.4% compared to the same quarter last year. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 6.3%. These results reflect additional revenue of $13.6 million from the diagnostics businesses of Biotest AG that were added to the Company's portfolio in the first quarter. Excluding revenue from the Biotest acquisition, net sales were up 1.5 % on a currency-neutral basis compared to the same period last year. Overall performance of the Clinical Diagnostics segment was negatively affected by economic challenges impacting healthcare markets in the U.S. and Europe as well as certain sales in 2009 that did not recur in 2010. In July, Bio-Rad submitted a Premarket Approval application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its fourth-generation HIV assay, the GS HIV Combo Ag/Ab EIA (enzyme immunoassay). The test detects HIV antigens (proteins that are part of the HIV virus) and HIV antibodies (proteins that are produced by the body to fight the HIV infection), offering earlier detection of HIV infections.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with our audit committee's ongoing investigation of our compliance with the FCPA and internal control assessment by management and our internal audit group during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, we identified three significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 that, when considered and taken together, constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010. Our conclusion that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 is not based on quantified misstatements in our historical financial statements or our financial statements as of and for our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, but instead on the risk that we may be unable to prevent or detect on a timely basis potential material errors in our future financial statements. We do not presently anticipate that the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010 will have any material effect on our previously reported financial results or our financial results for our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010. Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 will contain more information about these three significant deficiencies and the resulting material weakness and the measures that we are considering initiating to attempt to remediate it.
Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) November 2, 2010. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 800-659-2032 (in the U.S.) or 617-614-2712 (international), access number 52899247.
A live webcast of the conference call may be accessed in the "Investor Relations" section of www.bio-rad.com. A replay of the call will be available at 888-286-8010 (in the U.S.) or 617-801-6888 (international), access number 98042813, for seven days following the call. The webcast of the call will be archived on the Bio-Rad site for on-demand replay for up to a year and may be accessed in the "Investor Relations" section of www.bio-rad.com.

Quarterly Report
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in both our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and this report for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Other than statements of historical fact, statements made in this report include forward looking statements, such as statements with respect to our future financial performance, operating results, plans and objectives that involve risk and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, "believe," "expect," "may," "will," "intend," "estimate," "continue," or similar expressions or the negative of those terms or expressions. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. We have based these forward looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. However, actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated depending on a variety of risk factors including among other things:
changes in general domestic and worldwide economic conditions; our ability to successfully develop and market new products; our reliance on and access to necessary intellectual property; our ability to successfully integrate any acquired business; our substantial leverage and ability to service our debt; competition in and government regulation of the industries in which we operate; and the monetary policies of various countries. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect an analysis only and speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by Federal Securities law.
Overview. We are a multinational manufacturer and worldwide distributor of our own life science research and clinical diagnostics products. Our business is organized into two primary segments, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics, with the mission to provide scientists with specialized tools needed for biological research and clinical diagnostics. We sell more than 8,000 products and services to a diverse client base comprised of scientific research, healthcare, education and government customers worldwide. We manufacture and supply our customers with a range of reagents, apparatus and equipment to separate complex chemical and biological materials and to identify, analyze and purify components. Because our customers require standardization for their experiments and test results, much of our revenues are recurring. Approximately 32% of our year-to-date 2010 consolidated net sales are from the United States and approximately 68% are from international locations. The international sales are largely denominated in local currencies such as the Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen and British Sterling. As a result, our consolidated net sales expressed in dollars benefit when the U.S. dollar weakens and suffer when the dollar strengthens. When the U.S. dollar strengthens, we benefit from lower cost of sales from our own international manufacturing sites as well as non-U.S. suppliers and from lower international operating expenses.
The market for reagents and apparatus remains good while growth rates have slowed due to both public and private grant funding being more measured. The market for large capital equipment has slowed, as many pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers delayed or reduced their capital spending. We are generally less impacted by trends in capital spending as lower priced reagents and apparatus comprise more than 70% of product sales.
On January 6, 2010, we acquired certain diagnostic businesses of Biotest AG (Biotest). This 45 million Euro acquisition is expected to broaden our product offering in the area of immunohematology and provide access to the U.S. markets for these products.
The following shows gross profit and expense items as a percentage of net sales:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, we have identified accounting for income taxes, valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets, valuation of inventories, warranty reserves, valuation of investments, allowance for doubtful accounts and litigation accruals as the accounting policies and estimates critical to the operations of Bio-Rad.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. For a full discussion of these policies, please refer to our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
Corporate Results -- Sales, Margins and Expenses
Net sales (sales) in the second quarter of 2010 increased 9.5% to $467.7 million from $427.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, with Biotest contributing approximately $14.5 million to the growth in sales. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, second quarter 2010 sales increased by approximately 9.0% compared to the same period in 2009. Currency neutral sales growth, excluding Biotest, was reflected in all regions, but primarily for Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets.
The Life Science segment sales for the second quarter of 2010 was relatively flat with sales of $150.7 million compared to $149.7 million in the same period last year. On a currency neutral basis, there was a slight decrease in sales for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. We have seen weakness in government support and spending for research and development, especially in Europe.
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported sales for the second quarter of 2010 of $314.1 million, an increase of 14.5% compared to the same period last year, with Biotest contributing approximately 5.3% to the sales growth. On a currency neutral basis, sales increased 14.1% including Biotest compared to the second quarter of 2009. Clinical Diagnostics product lines showing growth were immunohematology (before the contribution of Biotest), quality controls and reagent products. The most significant sales growth was in the Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets regions.
Consolidated gross margins were 57.4% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 56.6% for the second quarter of 2009. Life Science segment gross margins for the second quarter of 2010 improved from the same period last year by approximately 1.6%. The increase was primarily due to improved manufacturing overhead absorption and a reduction in costs. Clinical Diagnostics segment gross margins for the second quarter of 2010 were relatively flat compared to the same period last year. Biotest had a negative impact on Clinical Diagnostics gross margins primarily due to overall generally lower margins than historical segment gross margins as a result of purchase accounting, lower volumes related to total capacity and a current higher cost structure.
Increases in Clinical Diagnostics gross margins were from the settlement of intellectual property disputes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) represented 33.4% of sales for the second quarter of 2010 compared to 33.6% of sales for the second quarter of 2009. Growth in absolute SG&A spending was less than sales growth.
Increases were primarily driven by employee related costs, marketing, travel, and professional services.
Research and development expense increased to $43.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $42.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. Life Science segment research and development expense increased from the prior year quarter. Life Science segment efforts concentrated on genomics, proteomics and process chromatography applications. Clinical Diagnostics segment research and development expense was flat compared to the prior year period as the prior year had larger spending for the recently released IH 1000 blood typing system and the spending increased during the second quarter of 2010 for other projects.
Corporate Results - Other Items
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2010 increased by $4.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2009. An additional $300 million of 8.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2016 were issued in May 2009, which increased our interest expense compared to the second quarter of 2009. Our other principal debt obligations are the 2003 and 2004 Senior Subordinated Notes totaling $425.0 million, which carry fixed rates of interest of 7.5% and 6.125%, respectively.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany net receivables and payables and the change in fair value of our forward foreign exchange contracts used to manage our foreign currency exchange risk. Foreign currency exchange losses, net for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were primarily attributable to market volatility, costs to hedge, and the result of the estimating process inherent in the timing of shipments and payments of intercompany debt.
Other income, net for the second quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million compared to $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of $3.8 million. The decrease primarily resulted from non-recurring income of $4.6 million in 2009 related to the relief of a foreign non-income based tax obligation.
Our effective tax rate was 30% and 20% for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 both reflected tax benefits for nontaxable dividend income, research and development tax credits, and differences between U.S. and foreign rates. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was primarily due to a decline in the percentage of total earnings earned in lower tax jurisdictions, the expiration of the research and development tax credit in the U.S. and an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.
Our effective tax rate may be impacted in the future, either favorably or unfavorably, by many factors including but not limited to statutory tax rates, changes in tax laws or regulations, tax audits and settlements, and generation of tax credits.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
Corporate Results - Sales, Margins and Expenses
Net sales (sales) in the first half of 2010 increased 11.3% to $921.9 million from $828.1 million in the first half of 2009, with Biotest contributing approximately $27.2 million to the growth in sales. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, second quarter 2010 sales increased by approximately 8.4% compared to the same period in 2009. Currency neutral sales growth, excluding Biotest, was achieved in all regions, but primarily in Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets.
The Life Science segment sales for the first half of 2010 were $302.0 million, an increase of 4.1%, or 1.6% on a currency neutral basis, compared to the same period last year. Sales growth was primarily attributed to real-time PCR products, offset by general market weakness, especially in Europe. Currency neutral sales growth in the Life Science segment was primarily in Asia Pacific and North America, while European sales declined.
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported sales for the first half of 2010 of $613.9 million, an increase of 15.4% compared to the same period last year, with Biotest contributing approximately 5.1% to the sales growth. On a currency neutral basis, sales increased 12.3% including Biotest compared to the first half of 2009. Clinical Diagnostics product lines generating growth were immunohematology (before the contribution of Biotest), quality controls and reagent products. Sales growth was primarily in Asia Pacific.
Consolidated gross margins were 57.0% for the first half of 2010 compared to 56.9% for the first half of 2009. Life Science segment gross margins for the first half of 2010 improved from the same period last year by approximately 1.6%. The increase was primarily due to improved manufacturing overhead absorption and a reduction in costs. Clinical Diagnostics segment gross margins for the first half of 2010 decreased by approximately 0.7% from the same period last year. The Biotest acquisition had a negative impact on Clinical Diagnostics gross margins due to purchase accounting and overall generally lower margins than historical segment gross margins as a result of current lower volumes and a current higher cost structure. Offsetting this decrease in gross margins was the settlement of intellectual property disputes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) represented 33.6% of sales for the first half of 2010 compared to 34.3% of sales for the first half of 2009. Growth in absolute SG&A spending was less than sales growth. Increases were primarily driven by employee related costs, marketing, travel and professional services.
Research and development expense increased to $84.1 million in the first half of 2010 compared to $79.6 million in the first half of 2009. Life Science segment research and development expense increased from the prior year period. Life Science segment efforts concentrated on genomics, proteomics and process chromatography applications. Clinical Diagnostics segment research and development expense increased from the prior year period. The majority of the increase was related to immunohematology, with additional emphasis in clinical systems, clinical microbiology and blood virus diagnostic tests.
Corporate Results - Other Items
Interest expense for the first half of 2010 increased by $10.6 million compared to the first half of 2009. An additional $300 million of 8.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2016 were issued in May 2009, which increased our interest expense compared to the prior year period. Our other principal debt obligations are the 2003 and 2004 Senior Subordinated Notes totaling $425.0 million, which carry fixed rates of interest of 7.5% and 6.125%, respectively.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany net receivables and payables and the change in fair value of our forward foreign exchange contracts used to manage our foreign currency exchange risk. Foreign currency exchange losses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were primarily attributable to market volatility, costs to hedge and the result of the estimating process inherent in the timing of shipments and payments of intercompany debt.
Other income, net for the first half of 2010 was $3.3 million compared to $5.1 million for the first half of 2009. The decrease primarily resulted from non-recurring income of $4.6 million in 2009 related to the relief of a foreign non-income based tax obligation, partially offset by $2.5 million of other-than-temporary impairment of investments.
Our effective tax rate was 30% and 23% for the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first half of 2010 and 2009 both reflected tax benefits for nontaxable dividend income, research and development tax credits, and differences between U.S. and foreign rates. The higher effective tax rate for the first half of 2010 was primarily due to a decline in the percentage of total earnings earned in lower tax jurisdictions, the expiration of the research and development tax credit in the U.S. and an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions.
Our effective tax rate may be impacted in the future, either favorably or unfavorably, by many factors including but not limited to statutory tax rates, changes in tax laws or regulations, tax audits and settlements, and generation of tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Bio-Rad operates and conducts business globally, primarily through subsidiary companies established in the markets in which we trade. Goods are manufactured in a small number of locations, and are then shipped to local distribution facilities around the world. Our product mix is diversified, and certain products compete largely on product efficacy, while others compete on price.
Gross margins are generally sufficient to exceed normal operating costs. Funding for research and development of new products as well as routine outflows of capital expenditure and tax expense are covered by cash flow from operations. Our cash flow from operations is also sufficient to make interest payments. In addition to the annual positive cash flow from operating activities, additional liquidity is readily available via the sale of short-term investments and access to our $200.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) that was entered into in June 2010. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are on a revolving basis and can be used to make acquisitions, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes. We had no outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2010. The Credit Agreement expires on June 21, 2014.
At June 30, 2010, we had available $717.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Under domestic and international lines of credit, we had $247.0 million available for borrowing as of June 30, 2010, of which $12.6 million is reserved for standby letters of credit issued by our banks to guarantee our obligations to various companies. Management believes that this availability together with cash flow from operations, will be adequate to meet our current objectives for operations, research and development, capital additions for manufacturing and distribution, plant and equipment, information technology systems and future acquisitions for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows from Operations
Net cash provided by operations was $58.7 million and $111.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net decrease of $53.2 million primarily represents an increase in cash paid to suppliers including higher royalty payments and settlement payments of intellectual property disputes, higher payments on income taxes and higher interest payments from the $300 million bond offering in May 2009, partially offset by an increase in cash received from customers compared to the prior periods. Cash received from customers was at a slower rate than expected in 2010 due to a slowdown of cash collections in some European countries. We continue to focus on cash flow improvements as a global company-wide goal.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net capital expenditures totaled $35.6 million and $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures represent the addition and replacement of production machinery and research equipment, ongoing manufacturing and facility additions for expansions, regulatory and environmental compliance, and leasehold improvements. Also included in capital expenditures are investments in business systems and data communication upgrades and enhancements. We anticipate accelerating expenditures in future periods to initiate expanding e-commerce platforms internationally and implementation of a global ERP system. These projects have not had the anticipated cash outflow as we have increased our due diligence in the selection of a system provider. All periods included reagent rental equipment placed with Clinical Diagnostics customers who then contract to purchase our reagents for use.
On January 6, 2010, we acquired certain diagnostic businesses of Biotest for 45 million Euros (approximately $64.9 million) in cash. This acquisition is included in our Clinical Diagnostics segment. We continue to review possible acquisitions to expand both our Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics segments.
We routinely meet with the principals or brokers of the subject companies. It is not certain that any of these transactions will advance beyond the preliminary stages to completion.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.2 million and $291.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash provided in 2010 was primarily due to net proceeds from common stock, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt.

Bio-Rad Reports First-Quarter 2010 Financial Results
HERCULES, CA -- (Marketwire)
05/04/10
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and
(NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science
research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results
today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
First-quarter reported revenues were $454.2 million, up 13.3% compared to
$400.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2009. On a
currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 7.9% compared to the
same period last year. This increase was due to a combination of organic
growth across Bio-Rad's two main areas, Life Science and Clinical
Diagnostics, and the addition of certain diagnostics businesses of Biotest
AG to the Company's portfolio in the first quarter of 2010 that resulted in
additional revenue in the first quarter of $12.7 million. Excluding the
revenue from the Biotest acquisition, first-quarter revenues were up 10.1%
or 4.9% on a currency neutral basis, compared to the same period last year.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the first quarter of 2010 was $34.9
million, or $1.24 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to $1.10 per
share, during the same period last year. First-quarter gross margin was
56.6% compared to 57.1% during the same quarter last year.
"Performance so far this year reflects strength across many of our product
areas," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive
Officer. "During the first quarter we were pleased to add the new
diagnostics businesses to our operation. As the year continues, we will
focus on the seamless integration of these new products into our
organization and look for other opportunities to invest in our future."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the first quarter were $151.4
million, up 7.9% compared to the same period last year. On a
currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 3.4%. The
core Life Science product lines, excluding the impact from the BSE (bovine
spongiform encephalopathy) product line, grew at 9.7% compared to the same
period last year, or 5.3% on a currency-neutral basis. Performance in the
Life Science segment during the first quarter benefited from sales of the
ProteOn? protein interaction array system as well as the Company's next
generation PCR instruments, in particular, the CFX96? real-time thermal
cycler.
Bio-Rad's Mini-PROTEAN® TGX precast electrophoresis gel product line,
which launched in March, is gaining rapid customer acceptance by offering
ultra-fast time to results, high resolution, and extended shelf life. Also
in March, the Company introduced its TC10? automated cell counter, which
accurately provides total mammalian cell counts in 30 seconds or less,
providing a simple, rapid, and reproducible alternative to researchers who
manually count cells under the microscope using a hemocytometer.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $299.8 million for
the first quarter, up 16.4% compared to the prior-year quarter. On a
currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 10.5%. Excluding revenue from the
Biotest acquisition, net sales were up 11.5%, or 5.8% on a currency-neutral
basis, from the same period last year. These gains were largely due to
growth across all product line most notably quality controls, blood typing,
and diabetes monitoring. During the first quarter, Bio-Rad acquired
certain diagnostics businesses from Biotest AG, including its diagnostics
products in the areas of blood transfusion testing, transplantation, and
infectious diseases. Also during the quarter, Bio-Rad announced the launch
of an anti-CCP test for markets outside the U.S. The assay runs on
Bio-Rad's BioPlex® 2200 system and measures anti-CCP (anti-cyclic
citrullinated peptide antibodies), a novel marker that has been shown to
have superior specificity in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific
Time (5 PM Eastern Time) May 4, 2010. Interested parties may access the
call by dialing 800-599-9829 (in the U.S.) or 617-847-8703 (international),

Internal Investigation
The Company disclosed today that, based on an internal review by the
Company, the Company has identified conduct in certain of our overseas
operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), the FCPA's books and records
and internal controls provisions, and the Company's own internal policies.
The Company has not assessed at this time whether any of the activities in
question violated the laws of the foreign jurisdictions in which they took
place. In May 2010, the Company voluntarily disclosed these matters to the
U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has
assumed direct responsibility for reviewing these matters and has hired
experienced counsel to conduct an investigation and provide legal advice.
The Company intends to provide additional information to the DOJ and the
SEC as the Audit Committee's investigation progresses.
The Company is presently unable to predict the duration, scope, or result
of the Audit Committee's investigation, of any investigations by the DOJ or
the SEC or whether either agency will commence any legal action. The
outcome of any of the foregoing actions could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

Bio-Rad Reports Record Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2009 Financial Results
HERCULES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/24/10 --
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Fourth-quarter reported revenues were $495.1 million, up 10.5% compared to $448.0 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2008. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 4.3% compared to the same period last year. This increase was the result of organic growth across Bio-Rad's two main areas, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics.
Fourth-quarter gross margin was 54.2% compared to 55.1% during the same quarter last year.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $37.9 million, or $1.35 per share on a fully diluted basis compared to ($0.30) per share, during the same period last year. The fourth quarter 2008 loss was a result of non-cash impairment charges of $35.0 million. Included in the fourth quarter of 2009 were non-cash impairment charges of $3.8 million.
For the full year, sales grew by 1.1% to $1,784.2 million compared to $1,764.4 million in 2008. After normalizing for the impact of currency effects, Bio-Rad sales grew by 5.5%.
Full-year net income attributable to Bio-Rad was $144.6 million, or $5.20 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $89.5 million, or $3.24 per share, respectively, in 2008. Full-year gross margin was 56.0% compared to last year's figure of 54.6%. This improvement in gross margin is primarily the result of improved manufacturing planning and utilization as well as a reduction in purchase accounting and royalty-related expenses.
"We are pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter as well as the entire year," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "We approached 2009 with caution as the world faced some tough economic conditions. Yet in spite of those challenges, 2009 turned out to be another successful year for Bio-Rad. Looking ahead to 2010, we will focus on the integration of the diagnostics businesses of Biotest AG that Bio-Rad acquired in January and the introduction of new products."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $191.0 million, up 12.1% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 6.6%.
Full-year reported revenues for the Life Science segment were $631.5 million, down 1.9% over the prior year, or an increase of 0.8% on a currency-neutral basis. Performance in the Life Science segment during the fourth quarter benefited from sales of the Company's next generation PCR instruments, in particular, the CFX96? real-time thermal cycler. Segment performance was also boosted by sales of the Company's protein separation and analysis tools including electrophoresis, chromatography, and imaging products as well as sales of the ProteOn? protein interaction array system. During the quarter, the segment launched the Mini-PROTEAN® TGX precast electrophoresis gel product line, which delivers ultra-fast time to results, high resolution, and extended shelf life.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $300.5 million for the fourth quarter, up 9.7% compared to the prior-year quarter. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales were up 2.9%. Full-year reported revenues for the Clinical Diagnostics segment were $1,139.9 million, an increase of 3.0% over the prior year. On a currency-neutral basis, full-year sales increased 8.5% compared to 2008 results. Performance in the Clinical Diagnostics segment during the fourth quarter was the result of growth across all product lines, most notably quality controls, blood typing, and diabetes monitoring. During the fourth quarter, Bio-Rad announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire certain diagnostics businesses of Biotest AG, including its diagnostics products in the areas of blood transfusion testing, transplantation, and infectious diseases. (The transaction was completed in the first quarter of 2010).

Bio-Rad Reports Third-Quarter Currency-Neutral Revenue Growth of 11 Percent
HERCULES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/03/09 -- Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO) and (NYSE: BIO.B), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, announced financial results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Third-quarter reported revenues were $461.1 million, up 4.4% compared to $441.8 million reported for the third quarter of 2008. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 11.1% compared to the same period last year. This improvement is primarily the result of organic growth across a range of products in Bio-Rad's two main areas, Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics as well as the additional revenue generated from the purchase of certain DiaMed distributors since the third quarter of 2008.
Net income attributable to Bio-Rad for the third quarter was $38.5 million, or $1.38 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $27.8 million or $1.00 per share, respectively, during the same period last year.
Third-quarter gross margin increased to 56.5% compared to 54.4% during the same quarter last year.
Year-to-date revenues were $1.3 billion, down 2.1% compared to the first three quarters in 2008. Adjusting for the impact of currency effects, revenue growth was 5.9%. Year-to-date net income attributable to Bio-Rad for 2009 was $106.8 million, or $3.85 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $97.7 million, or $3.54 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2008.
"We are pleased with the results of the third-quarter, which show continued strength in many of our product areas," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we had expected, the economy continued to have somewhat of a negative impact on customer spending particularly in our Life Science segment, but we are encouraged by the resiliency we've seen in many of our markets."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the third quarter were $150.4 million, down 4.1% or 0.4% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the same period last year. Sales across a number of product lines in the Life Science segment performed well during the quarter, in particular, process chromatography and gene expression products. Performance of the segment also benefited from sales of the Company's ProteOn(TM) protein interaction array system, as many customers began to order additional instruments.
Growth in the Life Science segment was negatively impacted by slowed research markets in both the U.S. and Europe, which reflect constraint and delays in spending by academic and biopharmaceutical customers. In September, Bio-Rad and Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR), a manufacturer of mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, announced the launch of the Lucid Proteomics System, which improves the possibility of discovering biomarkers that have clinical relevance.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $307.5 million for the third quarter, up 9.3% compared to the third quarter in 2008. On a currency-neutral basis, sales for the segment increased 17.8%. These gains are the result of strong sales across a number of product lines, including blood virus testing products, quality control products, and the Company's BioPlex® 2200 system. The segment also benefited from additional revenue resulting from the purchase of certain DiaMed European distributors in the fourth quarter of 2008, as well as the purchase of the DiaMed distributor in India in the second quarter of this year. In September, Bio-Rad announced the launch of Unity Real Time® 2.0, the latest version of its expert QC Data Management solution. The platform is designed to manage laboratory QC and to validate analytical runs.
Management will discuss these results in a conference call at 2 PM Pacific Time (5 PM Eastern Time) November 3, 2009. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 866-700-7173 (in the U.S.) or 617-213-8838 (international), access number 78653201.

Bio-Rad Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2007 Financial Results
Marketwire
February 28, 2008: 04:08 PM EST
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX: BIO) and (AMEX: BIOb), a multinational manufacturer and distributor of life science research and clinical diagnostics products, announced financial results today for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Fourth-quarter revenues were $459.7 million, up 34.0% compared to $343.1 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2006. This increase was due to a combination of organic growth across Bio-Rad's two main product areas, the Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics segments, as well as the addition of DiaMed Holding AG products to the Company's portfolio in the fourth quarter, which resulted in additional revenue of $62.0 million and impacted fourth-quarter and full-year results. Excluding the revenue from the DiaMed acquisition, fourth-quarter revenues were up 15.9%, or 9.0% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the same quarter last year.
Net income for the fourth quarter was $12.4 million compared to $16.6 million during the fourth quarter last year. These results reflect non-cash charges of $12.9 million, which includes a one-time charge of $7.7 million for purchased in-process R&D, and approximately $5.2 million in amortization of intangibles related to DiaMed. Including the DiaMed acquisition, fourth-quarter basic earnings from operations were $0.46 per share, or $0.45 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $0.63 and $0.61, respectively, during the same period last year. Fourth-quarter gross margin was 50.8% compared to 54.1% during the same quarter last year. The lower margin in the most recent quarter reflects the impact of the DiaMed acquisition including foregone profit margin and the amortization of intangibles.
For the full year, sales grew by 14.7% to $1,461.1 million compared to $1,273.9 million in 2006. Excluding revenue from the DiaMed acquisition, Bio-Rad sales grew by 9.8%, or 5.2% after normalizing for the impact of currency effects. Year-over-year net income was $93.0 million, or $3.41 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $103.3 million, or $3.83 per share, respectively, in 2006. Full-year gross margin was 54.2% compared to last year's figure of 55.9%. Revenues, earnings, and gross margin for 2006 were all favorably impacted by one-time additional revenue of $11.7 million which was the result of a licensing settlement agreement reached with bioMérieux SA in 2006.
"Operationally, 2007 was another year of progress for Bio-Rad and one of investment as we welcomed DiaMed Holding AG into our organization," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad President and Chief Executive Officer. "As 2008 moves forward, we will continue to explore opportunities to expand our business and improve our operational efficiencies."
Life Science
The Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $184.5 million, up 16.1% compared to the same period last year. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales increased by 9.4%. Full-year reported revenues for the Life Science segment were $615.1 million, up 6.9% over the prior year, or 2.7% on a currency-neutral basis. Performance in this segment was boosted by sales of the ProteOn(TM) protein interaction array system, the Bio-Plex® suspension array system and reagents, as well as the ProteinChip® SELDI system. Bio-Plex sales continue to be positively impacted by 57 new assays that were introduced in 2006. Sales of process chromatography media and hardware were strong as the products continued to gain broad market acceptance. These materials are used during the purification stages in the manufacture of a variety of pharmaceuticals with a particular applicability to monoclonal antibody-based medicines. Growth in the Life Science segment was negatively impacted by a drop in BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) testing revenues as both the number of animals tested and the average selling price continues to decline. During the fourth quarter, the segment introduced its next generation polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instruments, which are based on the new 1000-series thermal cycling platform, as well as the ProteoMiner(TM) protein enrichment kits, which provide researchers a way to concentrate and enrich low-and medium-abundance proteins that cannot be detected through traditional methods.
Clinical Diagnostics
The Clinical Diagnostics segment reported net sales of $271.4 million for the fourth quarter, up 50.7% compared to the prior-year quarter. Excluding revenue from the DiaMed acquisition, net sales were up 16.3%, or 9.0% on a currency-neutral basis, from the same period last year. Full-year reported revenues for the Clinical Diagnostics segment were $832.2 million, a 21.5% increase compared to 2006 results. Excluding revenue from the DiaMed acquisition, net sales increased 12.5%, or 7.4% net of currency effects, compared to 2006 results. These results were largely due to continued growth across all product lines, most notably quality controls, autoimmune, diabetes, clinical microbiology, as well as the BioPlex® 2200 system, a revolutionary instrument for the diagnostic laboratory that is continuing to gain market acceptance. In October, the Clinical Diagnostics segment finalized the acquisition of DiaMed Holding AG, a Swiss-based company that develops, manufactures, and markets a complete line of reagents and instruments used in blood typing and screening. Also during the quarter, the segment introduced to the U.S. market, the MRSASelect(TM) test, a chromogenic medium that detects methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, as well as its in2it(TM) analyzer for the "point-of-care" diabetes market. The in2it analyzer measures A1C, combining laboratory-accurate test results with patient convenience.
