OSI Systems Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2008 Financial Results

HAWTHORNE, Calif., Aug 27, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

The Company reported record revenues of $171.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 12% from the $152.8 million reported for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $5.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported record revenues of $623.1 million, an increase of 17% from the $532.3 million reported for fiscal 2007. Net income for fiscal 2008 was $13.9 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($18.8) million, or ($1.12) per diluted share in fiscal 2007.

The results for the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and the prior comparable periods of fiscal 2007 include the following non-recurring items:

-- For the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 the Company incurred impairment, restructuring and other charges of $1.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $36.4 million for the comparable periods of fiscal 2007. The $36.4 million of impairment, restructuring and other charges in fiscal 2007 includes $10.3 million of inventory reserves, which was recorded in cost of goods sold.

-- The results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were favorably impacted by a $4.3 million tax benefit associated with the repurchase of the minority interest in Spacelabs Healthcare. Additionally, the results for fiscal 2007 were favorably impacted by a gain of $15 million, recorded as other income, resulting from a settlement related to the Company's acquisition of Spacelabs Medical in fiscal 2004.

Excluding the impact of the aforementioned non-recurring items and applying the full year effective tax rate, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 would have been approximately $6.4 million or $0.36 per diluted share compared to net income of $2.8 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and net income for fiscal 2008 would have been approximately $13.1 million, or $0.74 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $(5.0) million or $(0.30) per diluted share for the comparable period of fiscal 2007. These non-GAAP figures are provided to allow for the comparison of underlying earnings, net of non-recurring charges, providing insight into the on-going operations of the Company.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company's backlog was $212 million compared to $219 million as of March 31, 2008 while during the comparable period the backlog for the Company's Security division increased by $7 million to $116 million. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $9.2 million and capital expenditures were $4.3 million.

Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are very pleased with our operating results for fiscal 2008. We have been focused on improving our profitability and the results announced today highlight the significant progress we have made to date. For fiscal 2008, revenues increased 17% while our operating income, excluding the impact of impairment and restructuring charges, improved from an operating loss of approximately $6 million in fiscal 2007 to an operating profit of approximately $24 million in fiscal 2008."

Mr. Chopra continued, "All three of our business divisions concluded the fiscal year on a positive note. Excluding the impact of impairment and restructuring charges, the Security division reported revenue growth of 21% while operating income improved by 104%. The Healthcare division continued its strong turnaround, improving from an operating loss of $4.7 million in fiscal 2007 to an operating profit of $12.9 million in fiscal 2008. While finally, our Optoelectronic division increased external sales and operating income excluding the impact of impairment and restructuring charges 25% respectively in fiscal 2008 when compared to fiscal 2007."
