Omnicell Announces Third Quarter 2010 Results

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Omnicell, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMCL), a leading global provider of system solutions to acute healthcare facilities, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

GAAP results: Revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $56.3 million, up $1.6 million or 3% from the second quarter of 2010, and up $2.3 million or 4% from the third quarter of 2009.

Third quarter 2010 net income as reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010, and net income of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP results: Non-GAAP net income was $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2010, or $0.11 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income excludes a charge of $1.7 million related to restructuring, reduction-in-force and other related charges primarily associated with the consolidation of our development facilities announced in July 2010. Also excluded is $0.6 million of non-recurring tax adjustments from the repatriation of profits from India associated with the facilities consolidation.  Total after tax charges excluded from GAAP income related to restructuring, reduction-in-force, and other related charges are $1.6 million. Non-GAAP net income also excludes a $2.4 million gain related to the settlement of litigation claims, and the tax on this gain of $1.0 million. The total after tax gain excluded from GAAP net income related to the settlement of litigation is $1.4 million. Also excluded from GAAP income is $2.2 million in stock compensation expense for the third quarter 2010. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $4.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010, which excludes $2.1 million in stock compensation expense. Third quarter 2010 results compare to non-GAAP net income of $3.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2009, which excludes $2.4 million in stock compensation expense.

The consolidated results include the September 29, 2010 acquisition of Pandora Data Systems, a leading provider of analytical software for medication diversion detection and regulatory compliance.

"Omnicell enjoyed success in the marketplace during the third quarter with strong orders across our entire customer base," said Randall Lipps, Omnicell President, CEO and Chairman.  "Our continued wins with large healthcare institutions, as well as the acquisition of a leading provider of data analytics for medication control systems, underscore the value Omnicell is delivering to organizations that are on the forefront of the sweeping changes in healthcare."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to Omnicell's GAAP results, we also consider non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. Additionally, we calculate Adjusted EBITDA (another non-GAAP measure) by means of adjustments to GAAP Net Income. These non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, operating expenses, net income, earnings per diluted share, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.  We present these non-GAAP results because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of Omnicell's performance.

Our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share are exclusive of certain items to facilitate management's review of the comparability of Omnicell's core operating results on a period to period basis because such items are not related to Omnicell's ongoing core operating results as viewed by management. We define our "core operating results" as those revenues recorded in a particular period and the expenses incurred within that period that directly drive operating income in that period. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because, in addition to meaningful supplemental information regarding operating performance, the measures give us a better understanding of how we should invest in research and development, fund infrastructure growth and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing strategies. In calculating the above non-GAAP results, management specifically adjusted for the following excluded items:

a)  Stock-based compensation expense impact of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718.  We recognize equity plan-related compensation expenses, which represents the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as required under ASC 718, "Stock Compensation".

b) Restructuring charges In the third quarter of 2010 we incurred charges for restructuring and impairment in executing our plan for consolidation of our Bangalore, India and Woodlands, Texas offices with our California and Tennessee facilities. These charges consisted of severance for departing employees and relocation benefits for transferring employees, exit and disposal costs related to the closed facilities, and impairment of abandoned leasehold improvements. In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred charges for employee severance in connection with a reduction in force, which was designed to align our cost structure with current business expectations.  The financial impact of these charges is excluded from our non-GAAP results as they are considered to be infrequent in nature, they are not expected to occur in the ordinary course of business, and are not used for the purpose of evaluating the company's core performance.

c) Reduction-in-force and other exit related charges. In the third quarter of 2010 we conducted a small reduction-in-force to rebalance the required workforce by function to our current business environment. Additionally, we incurred lease termination costs and leasehold improvement impairment costs (upon abandonment) in connection with merging our Lebanon, Tennessee office with our office in Nashville.

d) Litigation Settlement. In the third quarter of 2010 we settled two pending litigations with Flo Healthcare LLC (now part of InterMetro Industries Corporation), paid InterMetro $2.65 million, and entered into a patent cross-license agreement with InterMetro, wherein Omnicell received an ongoing license to the patent at issue in the suits, and InterMetro received licenses to two Omnicell patents.  The parties then jointly filed for dismissal of the cases. The resulting credit to third quarter 2010 Selling general and administrative expense reflects the true-up for the settlement with release of the liability in excess of the amounts settled.

e) Taxes on repatriated foreign earnings. In the third quarter of 2010, the closure of our Bangalore, India office, resulted in a charge for repatriation taxes and a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Management adjusts for the above items because management believes that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of Omnicell's control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock option grants.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is warranted for several reasons:

1) Such non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional analytical tool for understanding Omnicell's financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating results of the business;

2) Since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency and enhances investors' ability to compare our performance across financial reporting periods;

3) These non-GAAP financial measures are employed by Omnicell's management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational decision making processes, such as budget planning and forecasting; and

4) These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the operating results of other companies in our industry, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results, thus enhancing the perspective of investors who wish to utilize such comparisons in their analysis of our performance.

Set forth below are additional reasons why share-based compensation expense related to ASC 718 is excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures:

i)  While share-based compensation calculated in accordance with ASC 718 constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense of Omnicell, it is not an expense that requires cash settlement by Omnicell. We therefore exclude these charges for purposes of evaluating core operating results. Thus, our non-GAAP measurements are presented exclusive of stock-based compensation expense to assist management and investors in evaluating our core operating results.

ii) We present ASC 718 share-based payment compensation expense in our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures on a pre-tax basis because the exact tax differences related to the timing and deductibility of share-based compensation, under ASC 718, are dependent upon the trading price of Omnicell's common stock and the timing and exercise by employees of their stock options.  As a result of these timing and market uncertainties the tax effect related to share-based compensation expense would be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is therefore excluded from our non-GAAP results.

Our Adjusted EBITDA calculation is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash expenses, including ASC 718 stock compensation expense.

As stated above, we present non-GAAP financial measures because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Omnicell's GAAP results.  In the future, we expect to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-GAAP adjustments described above and expect to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures excluding such items. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:

• Omnicell's stock option and stock purchase plans are important components of incentive compensation arrangements and will be reflected as expenses in Omnicell's GAAP results for the foreseeable future under ASC 718.
• Other companies, including other companies in Omnicell's industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than Omnicell, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, a detailed reconciliation between Omnicell's non-GAAP and GAAP financial results is set forth in the financial tables at the end of this press release. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information strictly as a supplement to the GAAP results that are contained in this press release and in Omnicell's SEC filings.
