LITTLE FALLS, N.J.,
March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE: CMN) reported a 28% increase in
net income to a record $7,294,000, or
$0.27 per diluted share, on a 20%
increase in sales to a record $97,297,000 for the second quarter ended
January 31, 2012. This compares with
net income of $5,720,000, or
$0.22 per diluted share, on sales of
$81,021,000 for the second quarter
ended January 31, 2011. For the six
months ended January 31, 2012, the
Company reported net income of $13,514,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, on a 25% increase in
sales to $190,559,000. This compares
with net income of $10,695,000, or
$0.42 per diluted share, on sales of
$153,014,000 for the six months ended
January 31, 2011. Results for the
second quarter and first six months ended January 31, 2012 were inclusive of a $0.02 charge related to an impairment of an
investment.
Andrew Krakauer, Cantel's
President and CEO stated, "We are pleased to have delivered record
sales and quarterly earnings in the second quarter. These positive
results confirm the continued success of our three prong approach
to growth which includes investing in new product development,
sales and marketing programs and acquisitions. All of these
strategies positively affected the results this quarter."
Krakauer added, "As in the first quarter, our Endoscopy segment,
led by our newly acquired Byrne Medical business, had excellent
performance as sales increased by 49% and operating profit grew by
86%. Byrne products showed core growth of over 30%, and the
acquisition was accretive to earnings. The Byrne business is being
integrated with our legacy endoscope reprocessing business under
the "Medivators" name to establish the infection control leader in
the gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy market. Integration is going
well, and we are pleased that Don
Byrne, the visionary founder of Byrne Medical, has become
the President of our newly combined Medivators business.
Cantel's two other largest business segments also performed
well. In our Healthcare Disposables unit, sales growth of 17% and
improved gross margins resulted in a 49% increase in operating
profit. Sales in our Water Purification and Filtration business
were 6% higher. However, with effective integration of the Gambro
water acquisition and a focus on margin improvement, operating
profit in this segment grew by 51%."
The Company further reported that its balance sheet at
January 31, 2012 included current
assets of $122,574,000, including
cash of $21,689,000, a current ratio
of 2.4:1, debt of $108,000,000 and
stockholders' equity of $256,668,000.
Krakauer stated, "The Company has a strong balance sheet and
continues to generate significant cash flow and EBITDAS. When
compared with the same quarter last year, our EBITDAS grew by 45%
to $18,571,000. Our net debt position
improved during the quarter by over $10
million to $86,311,000."

EBITDAS is a measure of the
Company's performance that is not required by, or presented in
accordance with, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").
EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as
income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and
stock-based compensation expense. The Company believes EBITDAS is
an important valuation measurement for management and investors
given the increasing effect that non-cash charges, such as
stock-based compensation, amortization related to acquisitions and
depreciation of capital equipment, has on the Company's net income.
In particular, acquisitions have historically resulted in
significant increases in amortization of intangible assets that
reduced the Company's net income. Additionally, the Company regards
EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow
before the effect of interest expense and complements operating
income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a
Company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either
excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or
included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. This measure, however,
should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or
superior to, net income, cash flows, or other measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
