OSI Systems Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

HAWTHORNE, Calif., Jan 27, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSIS), a vertically integrated provider of solutions in Security, Healthcare, and specialized electronics, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems' Chairman and CEO, stated, "We have again demonstrated significantly improved earnings and strong free cash flow, as well as improved margins in each of our divisions. These achievements are the direct result of our initiatives to improve our overall operating efficiencies. With outstanding bookings and a record backlog, we are poised for significant sales and earnings growth in the second half of our fiscal year."

The Company reported revenues of $150.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 5% as compared to the same period a year ago. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $7.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $284.4 million, a decrease of 7% as compared to the same period a year ago. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $9.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

Excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 would have been approximately $7.4 million or $0.41 per diluted share compared to a net income of $6.0 million or $0.34 per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and net income for the first half of fiscal 2010 would have been approximately $9.9 million or $0.56 per diluted share compared to a net income of $6.7 million or $0.37 per diluted share for the first half of fiscal 2009. These non-GAAP figures are provided to allow for the comparison of underlying earnings, net of restructuring and other charges, thus providing additional insight into the on-going operations of the Company.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company's backlog was $240 million compared to $203 million as of June 30, 2009, an increase of 18%. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $12.9 million and $23.4 million, respectively.

Mr. Chopra continued, "Our Security division is well positioned to achieve significant operating margin expansion. With an expanded set of customers and product offerings we generated strong bookings which lead to a record Security division backlog of $164 million, a 41% increase since the beginning of the fiscal year. Major recent contract wins including a Screening Solution agreement with the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, which for the Company is a first-of-its-kind turnkey cargo scanning solution for port security and a $35 million order to construct baggage handling systems and install integrated baggage screening equipment at multiple Mexican airports demonstrate our diversified capabilities. In addition, we expect to benefit from the recent announcements by the TSA and other international authorities to expand the use of full body scanners at airport security checkpoints. We are currently fulfilling the initial order quantities from the $173 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the TSA, which is for multiple units of the Rapiscan Secure 1000 Single Pose advanced checkpoint security screening system."

Mr. Chopra concluded, "Our Healthcare division achieved an operating profit of $6.0 million, or an 11% operating margin, during the quarter, a significant increase over the second quarter of fiscal 2009, in spite of 4% lower revenues. Although the climate for our Healthcare division has improved, it continues to be a challenging environment. To leverage our new product introductions in the Healthcare segment, we are expanding sales efforts by increasing our presence at small-to-medium sized hospitals and outpatient surgery centers in the U.S. As demonstrated by this quarter's results, we are well-positioned to experience strong operating margins as top line growth returns to the Healthcare segment."

Fiscal Year 2010 Outlook

Subject to the risk factors detailed in the Safe Harbor section of this press release, the Company is raising its fiscal 2010 earnings guidance and expects earnings per diluted share to increase at a rate of 35% - 45% to between $1.23 to $1.32, excluding the impact of restructuring and other non-recurring charges. In addition, the Company is reiterating its annual revenue guidance of $620 million to $640 million with growth in second half revenues of the fiscal year led by the Company's Security division.
