PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 21 (Korea Bizwire)Natus Medical Incorporated (NASDAQ:BABY) today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported revenue of $94.6 million, an increase of 5.2% compared to $89.9 million reported for the third quarter 2014. On a constant currency basis, revenue would have increased 6.7% to $95.9 million. GAAP net income was $10.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $7.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the third quarter 2014.

The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $12.9 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 21.7% over the prior year of $10.6 million. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 18.1% to $0.39 for the third quarter 2015, compared to $0.33 in the third quarter 2014.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported revenue of $275.9 million, an increase of 5.4% compared to $261.8 million reported for the same period in 2014. On a constant currency basis, year-to-date revenue would have increased 7.1% to $280.5 million. GAAP net income was $29.4 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared with net income of $22.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014.

The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 23.7% over the prior year of $27.8 million. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 20.9% to $1.04 for the third quarter 2015 from $0.86 per diluted share reported for the same period in the previous year.

Excluding share repurchases, cash and cash equivalents increased by $15.5 million to $82.2 million during the quarter. The Company repurchased $6.5 million of its stock during the third quarter.

“I am very pleased with our third quarter results as we reported record revenues and earnings. We also exceeded both our revenue and earnings guidance. I am also pleased that we were able to deliver revenue growth of 5.2% results despite a $1.3 million negative currency effect on revenue during the quarter,” said Jim Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

“I am most satisfied that we achieved a 20% non-GAAP operating profit margin during the quarter and am now confident that we will exceed our full year non-GAAP operating margin goal of 18%. We are increasingly confident that we can achieve and potentially exceed our long term operating margin goal of 20% in 2016.” Mr. Hawkins continued. “Both our Neurodiagnostic and Newborn Care businesses performed well in the quarter led again by outstanding performance in our domestic markets. Our new service business initiatives, Peloton, GND and NicView continue to report strong results. In addition to our record performance during the quarter, we recently secured a $232.5 million, three-year agreement between our Argentina subsidiary, Medix, and the Venezuelan Ministry of Health. This agreement will provide over fifty hospitals with a broad range of obstetric and neonatal devices, supplies and services including more than $50 million of Medix and Natus equipment and supplies.” said Hawkins.

Financial Guidance

The Company provided revenue and earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and increased its revenue and earnings guidance for the full year 2015.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company increased its revenue guidance to $102.0 million to $105.0 million and guided non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.47 to $0.49.

Full year 2015 earnings guidance was increased with expected non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.51 to $1.53. Full year 2015 revenue guidance also increased to $378 million to $381 million compared to previous guidance of $376 million to $378 million.

The Company’s non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes amortization of acquisition related intangibles, acquisition related charges, restructuring charges, and their related tax effects. Non-GAAP earnings guidance includes the impact of expensing employee share based compensation. All non-GAAP earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s non-GAAP results exclude amortization expense associated with certain acquisition-related intangibles, restructuring charges, certain discreet tax items, direct costs of acquisitions and the related tax effects. A reconciliation between non-GAAP and GAAP financial measures is included in this press release.

The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding these charges provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Therefore, the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
