CARLSBAD, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genoptix, Inc. (Nasdaq: GXDX), a specialized laboratory services provider, today reported revenue of $47.4 million for the first quarter of 2010. Net income was $5.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010.
"Our quarterly revenues were up by 21% year-over-year as we managed approximately 15,000 patient cases, an increase of 16% from the first quarter of 2009," said Tina S. Nova, Ph.D., President and CEO of Genoptix. "We started the year by executing on our growth management strategy, promoting talented sales people to leadership positions in the first quarter of 2010 to support our growing sales and marketing organization. As we repositioned our new managers and trained new sales representatives, we were able to sustain our case volumes for the quarter, even as we experienced some impact from the severe weather seen in much of the country. We are planning for long-term growth as we strengthen our ability to manage increasing patient case volumes in coming quarters. We remain confident that we will meet our performance expectations for 2010."
First quarter revenues of $47.4 million include a $1.0 million benefit from changes in accounting estimates resulting from cash collections in excess of revenue recognized in prior periods. First quarter revenue increased 21% over revenue of $39.2 million for the comparable period in 2009, which included a $2.0 million benefit from changes in accounting estimates.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2010 was $28.6 million, or 60% of revenue, up from $23.8 million, or 61% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2009. Operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $9.4 million, or 20% of revenue, compared to operating income of $10.1 million, or 26% of revenue, for the same period in 2009.
Net income was $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2010, or $0.29 diluted earnings per share (EPS), based on 18.2 million weighted average common shares outstanding and a tax rate of 45%. This compares to net income of $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, or EPS of $0.33, based on 17.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding and a tax rate of 44%.
"We plan to continue expanding our customer reach, bringing on additional sales representatives to achieve this goal," said Sam Riccitelli, Genoptix EVP and COO. "We are making progress on our staffing initiatives and currently have 82 sales representatives in the field, supported by a solid regional management structure. We are also growing operationally, with 36 hematopathologists currently on staff with Cartesian Medical Group and plans for continued hiring as the year progresses."
As of March 31, 2010, the Company's total cash, cash equivalents and investment securities were $136.5 million. Cash generated from operations was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2010, while purchases of capital equipment for the same period totaled $9.9 million.
Performance Outlook
Genoptix is reaffirming the guidance provided on February 25th for the full-year 2010 with revenue expectations between $235 and $240 million, with full-year gross margins in the high-fiftieth percentile.
Operating margins for 2010 are expected to be in the low- to mid-twentieth percentile, with net income of approximately $33 million and diluted EPS between $1.80 to $1.85 on 18.3 million shares. This assumes a tax rate of approximately 44% for the year.
Based on continued infrastructure expansion and implementation of its strategic plan, the Company projects capital expenditures of approximately $30 million for the full-year 2010, including approximately $22 million in new facilities expansion costs and $8 million in maintenance capital.
