Mindray Announces First Quarter 2010 Financial Results
SHENZHEN, China, May 10 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Mindray Medical International Limited (NYSE: MR), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices worldwide announced today its selected unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Highlights for First Quarter 2010
-- Net revenues were $145.8 million, an increase of 8.7% over the first
quarter of 2009
-- International revenues were $83.7 million, a year-over-year increase of
16.6%. Emerging markets continued to lead revenue growth among all
international regions
-- China revenues were flat year-over-year, reflecting unfavorable
comparison due to a $6.5 million retroactive VAT refund recorded in the
first quarter of 2009 and drop in government tender sales in the first
quarter of this year. Without taking into account this retroactive VAT
refund, non-tender sales increased by 46.5% year-over-year
-- Non-GAAP operating income was $35.9 million. First quarter 2010
operating income was $31.9 million, representing an operating margin of
21.9%, compared to 21.9% in the first quarter of 2009 and 20.1% in the
fourth quarter of 2009
-- EBITDA increased 9.0% to $38.8 million as compared to $35.6 million in
the first quarter of 2009
-- Non-GAAP net income was $40.1 million. First quarter 2010 net income
was $36.2 million, representing a net margin of 24.8%, compared to
18.9% in the first quarter of 2009 and 19.8% in the fourth quarter of
2009. Both Non-GAAP net income and net income for the first quarter of
2010 includes the $8.6 million corporate income tax reduction received
from the nationwide key software enterprise status award for calendar
year 2009
-- Raised approximately $149.7 million, net of related costs, through a
public offering of four million American Depository shares ("ADSs")
-- Implemented SAP system in the US, completing installation in all
operating regions
-- Released M-7 portable color ultrasound system in the first quarter
"We are pleased with our performance for the quarter, driven by solid international growth and strong non-tender sales in the domestic market," commented Xu Hang, Mindray's chairman and co-chief executive officer. "Excluding the $6.5 million retroactive software VAT refund that positively impacted the first quarter 2009 sales performance, our overall sales growth would have been 14.2%. This is healthy growth in spite of the lingering effect of the Chinese New Year in February and lower tender sales in China relative to the year ago period. We are confident that the advantages of our brand and expanding sales channels will continue to fuel strong non-tender sales in the domestic China market, particularly among our higher-end products like color ultrasound. Additionally, we are encouraged by the robust performance we continue to see in emerging markets, as well as the return to growth in more geographies, including Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States ("CIS") region. Our financial results indicate the progress we continue to make in penetrating into higher-end markets while continuing to build a global brand that represents high-quality, cost-effective products and services."

Business Outlook for Full Year 2010

The company also expects its full year 2010 non-GAAP net income to grow 17% over its non-GAAP net income for full year 2009, excluding the $8.6 million corporate income tax reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2010. This guidance assumes a corporate income tax rate of 15% applicable to the Shenzhen subsidiary.
The company expects its capital expenditure for 2010 to be in the range of $60 million to $70 million.
The company's practice is to provide guidance on a full year basis only. This forecast reflects Mindray's current and preliminary views, which are subject to change.
"In the first quarter of 2010, Mindray benefited from robust international sales recovery as markets continued to stabilize," said Li Xiting, Mindray's president and co-chief executive officer. "Domestically, Mindray was affected by unfavourable year-over-year comparison resulting from the software VAT rebate effective in the first quarter 2009 as well as a decrease in government tender sales. We remain firm, however, in our belief that China's healthcare sector continues to be a major segment that attracts heavy investments from both the Chinese government and private capital. The cornerstone of our China growth continues to be non-tender sales, which accounted for more than 90% of domestic China sales during the quarter. We are encouraged to see strong performance in non-tender sales during the quarter, which partially offset weakness in tender sales. We believe this part of our business will remain healthy as the company positions itself to compete in higher-end markets and explores introducing some of our future products into private markets."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Mindray provides gross profit, research and development expenses, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, operating income, net income, EBITDA, and earnings per share on a Non-GAAP basis that excludes share-based compensation expense, acquired intangible assets amortization expense, realignment costs -- post acquisition, all net of related tax impact, to enable investors to better assess the company's operating performance. The Non-GAAP measures described by the company are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure in the exhibit below titled "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures."
The company has reported for the first quarter of 2010 and provided guidance for full year 2010 earnings per share on a Non-GAAP basis. Each of the terms as used by the company is defined as follows:
-- Non-GAAP gross profit represents gross profit reported in accordance
with GAAP, adjusted for the effects of share-based compensation and
amortization of acquired intangible assets.
-- Non-GAAP operating income represents operating income reported in
accordance with GAAP, adjusted for the effects of share-based
compensation, realignment cost -- post acquisition, and amortization of
acquired intangible assets
-- Non-GAAP net income represents net income reported in accordance with
GAAP, adjusted for the effects of share-based compensation, realignment
cost -- post acquisition, amortization of acquired intangible assets,
all net of related tax impact.
-- Non-GAAP earnings per share represents Non-GAAP net income divided by
the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per
share in accordance with GAAP, and excludes the impact of the declared
dividends for the basic calculation.
-- EBITDA represents net income reported in accordance with GAAP, adjusted
for the effects of interest income and expenses, provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The company computes its Non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The company notes that these measures may not be calculated on the same basis of similar measures used by other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view Non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with Non-GAAP results for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 in the attached financial information.
