HAWTHORNE, Calif., Apr 30, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS):

  • Earnings Per Share
    • GAAP: $0.15
    • Non-GAAP: $0.24 (20% increase over prior year)
  • Company raises earnings guidance to $0.85 - $0.93 per share (15%-25% growth)
  • Operating cash flow increases by $50 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009

OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS), a vertically integrated provider of specialized electronics products for critical applications in the security and healthcare industries, today announced operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2009.

The Company reported revenues of $144.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of $12.6 million, or 8%, from the $156.7 million reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Without the adverse impact of foreign exchange for the three months ended March 31, 2009, revenues would have decreased approximately 4%. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $2.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company was favorably impacted by a one-time $4.3 million tax benefit in connection with a transaction. Excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges and the one-time tax benefit, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 would have been approximately $4.2 million or $0.24 per diluted share compared to net income of $3.7 million or $0.20 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $451.3 million, virtually flat as compared to $451.9 million revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Without the adverse impact of foreign exchange for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, revenues would have grown approximately 3%. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $6.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.3 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges, and the one-time prior year tax benefit, net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 would have been approximately $10.8 million or $0.61 per diluted share compared to a net income of $6.5 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Discussion of adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP figures for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 is provided to allow for the comparison of underlying earnings, net of restructuring and other charges, and this tax benefit, thus providing additional insight into the on-going operations of the Company.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred restructuring and other charges of $2.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $3.4 million for the comparable periods of fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2009, restructuring charges were primarily incurred in response to the expected slowdown in the Company's Healthcare division as part of the Company's cost reduction program. In addition, during the third quarter of the current year, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge related to litigation of $2 million.

Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems' Chairman and CEO, stated, "Our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 continue to demonstrate the earnings-generating potential of our businesses. We significantly improved the bottom line while simultaneously generating positive free cash flow. These achievements, in light of the challenging economic conditions, are the direct result of our initiatives over the past two years to implement organizational changes that have reduced our cost structure, improved our operating efficiencies and emphasized working capital management."

Mr. Chopra continued, "Our Security Division continues to show improved financial results, with strong global demand for air cargo as well as other cargo and vehicle inspection products. Security sales for the third quarter increased 14% from fiscal 2008 excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates and operating margins improved significantly. In addition, strong bookings led to a 9% increase in the Security Division's backlog since the beginning of the fiscal year. The business climate for our Healthcare division continues to be challenging, and for the third quarter we reported a 21% decline in revenues. The revenue challenges were most acutely felt in the North American market, where economic factors including credit availability have led to certain hospitals delaying their normal equipment purchases. We believe these are timing related as we have not lost any significant sales opportunities. In response to these market conditions, we moved proactively in the second quarter and took further steps in the third quarter to address our Healthcare cost structure, the benefits of which are partially reflected in our third quarter results and will be further reflected in the final quarter of fiscal 2009."

During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $40.1 million as compared to using $9.9 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Additionally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company repurchased 620,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $7.4 million.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a backlog of $231 million compared to $219 million as of March 31, 2008.

Fiscal Year 2009 Outlook

Subject to the risk factors detailed in the Safe Harbor section of this press release, the Company increased its fiscal 2009 earnings guidance to $0.85 to $0.93 per share from previously announced guidance of $0.81 to $0.93 per share, resulting in 15-25% earnings growth. Such earnings per share data exclude the impact of restructuring and other charges, and the one time fiscal 2008 tax benefit discussed above.
