LITTLE FALLS, N.J., March 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CANTEL MEDICAL CORP. (NYSE: CMN) reported record US GAAP net income of $15,389,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, on a 16.9% increase in sales to a record $158,271,000 for the second quarter ended January 31, 2016. This compares with net income of $11,085,000 or $0.27 per diluted share, on sales of $135,430,000 for the second quarter ended January 31, 2015. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Company reported record US GAAP net income of $29,643,000, or $0.71 per diluted share on a 14.6% increase in sales to a record $312,050,000. This compares with net income of $22,324,000, or $0.54 per diluted share, on sales of $272,241,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2015.

Under non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted net income this quarter increased 15.3% to $17,413,000, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $15,097,000, or $0.36 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended January 31, 2016, the Company reported a 17.9% increase in adjusted net income to $34,533,000, or $0.83 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income for the six months ended January 31, 2015 of $29,282,000, or $0.70 per diluted share.

Andrew Krakauer, Cantel's Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased to have delivered record sales and earnings performance this quarter.  Our 16.9% reported sales growth can be broken down into strong organic growth of 12.1%, a 0.7% decline due to foreign currency translation, with acquisitions making up the remaining 5.5% demonstrating the continued success of our acquisition program. The majority of this quarter's excellent performance was driven by the Endoscopy business. All three of our major business units including Water Purification and Filtration and Healthcare Disposables, in addition to Endoscopy have greatly benefited from continued investments in new product development, sales and marketing programs and the integration of recent acquisitions. We are also pleased to report gross margins improved approximately 100 basis points compared with the same quarter last year."

Krakauer added, "Our Endoscopy segment led sales growth for the company this quarter with a remarkable year-over-year increase of 38.1%, of which 26.5% was organic. This fast growing segment represented over 50% of Cantel's total revenue this quarter. All product categories in this segment were strong including procedure room products, reprocessing equipment, disinfectants, as well as service and spare parts.  This was the first full quarter for our newly acquired United Kingdom-based Medical Innovations Group Holdings Limited business. We are pleased that sales in this leading global provider of endoscope storage and transport systems are doing well and meeting our expectations.

Compared to the same quarter last year, sales in our Water Purification and Filtration unit grew by 2.1%. Organic sales growth of 0.9% in this segment was driven by increased shipments of commercial and industrial water purification equipment. We saw a good increase in orders and backlog during the quarter for our dialysis water purification equipment products. In our Healthcare Disposables segment, sales increased by 3.3% as compared to the same quarter last year. Organic sales growth was flat. On a positive note, we closed the acquisition of NAMSA's Sterility Assurance Products Division on March 1. This acquisition reflects our continued focus on sterility assurance as a key growth driver for our Healthcare Disposable segment. Overall, revenue growth in all our operating units drove improved operating earnings."

The Company further reported that its balance sheet at January 31, 2016 included current assets of $196,546,000, including cash of $21,604,000, a current ratio of 3:1, gross debt of $133,500,000 and stockholders' equity of $427,452,000.  Krakauer stated, "The Company has a strong balance sheet and continues to generate significant cash flow and EBITDAS. Compared to the first six months of last year, Cash Flow from Operations and Adjusted EBITDAS grew by 50% and 19%, respectively to $28.3 million and $65.5 million, respectively."

Cantel Medical is a leading global company dedicated to delivering innovative infection prevention and control products and services for patients, caregivers, and other healthcare providers which improve outcomes, enhance safety and help save lives.  Our products include specialized medical device reprocessing systems for endoscopy and renal dialysis, advanced water purification equipment, sterilants, disinfectants and cleaners, sterility assurance monitoring products for hospitals and dental clinics, disposable infection control products primarily for dental and GI endoscopy markets, dialysate concentrates, hollow fiber membrane filtration and separation products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") with certain internally driven non-GAAP financial measures, namely (i) adjusted net income, (ii) adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), (iii) income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense ("EBITDAS"), (iv) EBITDAS adjusted for atypical items ("Adjusted EBITDAS") and (v) net debt. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of the Company's performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders and other readers of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.



Reconciliations of Net Income and Diluted EPS to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS


We define adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS as net income and diluted EPS, respectively, adjusted to exclude amortization, acquisition related items, significant reorganization and restructuring charges, major tax events and other significant items management deems atypical or non-operating in nature.


For the three and six months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, we made adjustments to net income and diluted EPS to exclude (i) amortization expense, (ii) acquisition related items impacting current operating performance including transaction and integration charges and ongoing fair value adjustments and (iii) with respect to the current year periods, the impact of favorable tax legislation to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS.


Amortization expense is a non-cash expense related to intangibles that were primarily the result of business acquisitions. Our history of acquiring businesses has resulted in significant increases in amortization of intangible assets that reduced the Company's net income. The removal of amortization from our overall operating performance helps in assessing our cash generated from operations including our return on invested capital, which we believe is an important analysis for measuring our ability to generate cash and invest in our continued growth.


Acquisition related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with specific acquisitions, and (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustments of acquired inventory and deferred revenue. The adjustments of contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities are periodic adjustments to record such amounts at fair value at each balance sheet date. Given the subjective nature of the assumptions used in the determination of fair value calculations, fair value adjustments may potentially cause significant earnings volatility that are not representative of our operating results. Similarly, due diligence, integration, legal and other acquisition costs associated with specific acquisitions, including acquisition accounting charges relating to recording acquired inventory and deferred revenue at fair market value, can be significant and also adversely impact our effective tax rate as certain costs are often not tax-deductible. Since all of these acquisition related items are atypical and often mask underlying operating performance, we excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance.


Tax legislation was enacted in the United States and internationally that enabled us to record favorable tax benefits in our second quarter of fiscal 2016 relating to the entire calendar 2015. Since these favorable tax benefits are largely unrelated to our second quarter's income before taxes and is unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded its impact on net income and EPS for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current performance and a comparison to past performance.

Reconciliation of EBITDAS and Adjusted EBITDAS with Net Income


We believe 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 reduce the Company's net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest expense and is a complement to operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures.


We define Adjusted EBITDAS as EBITDAS excluding the same atypical items as previously described as adjustments to net income. We use Adjusted EBITDAS when evaluating the operating performance of the Company because we believe the exclusion of such atypical items, of which a significant portion are non-cash items, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.
