IVGN Invitrogen (MM)

Invitrogen Corporation (Nasdaq:IVGN) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30,�2008. Revenues for the third quarter were $362�million, an increase of�15�percent over the $315�million reported for the third quarter�of 2007. �We�re extremely pleased with our performance this quarter and our ability to once again deliver value to our shareholders,� said Gregory T. Lucier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Invitrogen. �These results demonstrate we can continue to optimize our core business while dedicating sizable resources to make our integration with Applied Biosystems a success.� Third quarter diluted earnings per share were $0.26, which includes $0.06 per share of stock option expensing, $0.12 per share of amortization expense, $0.19 per share of in-process R&D expenses and $0.06 of business integration costs and other expenses. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes these items, diluted earnings per share were $0.69, an increase of�21�percent over the same period last year. Analysis of Third Quarter 2008 Results Third quarter�2008 revenues increased�15�percent over the previous year as a result of increased royalty revenue, improved price and volume in all regions, as well as positive currency benefits. Organic revenue growth, without the impact from currency and acquisitions, was 10 percent. Revenue from foreign exchange contributed approximately $11 million, or three points of growth. Gross margin, on a non-GAAP basis,�was 65.6 percent in the third quarter. This represents�an�increase�of�120�basis points from the same period in the prior year, due to positive price realization and increased royalty and licensing revenue. Non-GAAP operating margin was 26.2 percent in the third quarter, representing an increase of 160 basis points over the same period in 2007, mainly as a result of improved gross margin and operating expense leverage. Non-GAAP tax rate was 28 percent, two and a half points below prior year levels. The decrease was a result of earnings growth in lower tax rate jurisdictions and lower than expected taxes due on prior year returns, net of the loss of the federal R&D tax credit, which expired at the end of 2007. Weighted shares outstanding�were�97 million in the third quarter. Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter was $86 million. Third quarter capital expenditures were $25 million and free cash flow was $61 million. The company ended the third quarter with $676 million in cash & short-term investments. The following analysis of diluted earnings per share identifies specific items that affect the comparability of results between periods. Reconciliations between Invitrogen�s results and non-GAAP results for the periods reported are presented in the attached tables and on the company�s Investor Relations page at www.invitrogen.com. � � Three Months Ending September 30, 2008 � 2007 � % GAAP earnings per share $0.26 $0.32 (19%) Amortization of acquisition related expenses $0.12 $0.18 (33%) Stock option expense (FAS123R) $0.06 $0.06 -- In-process R&D expense $0.19 -- n/a Business integration and other charges $0.06 $0.01 n/a Non-GAAP earnings per share $0.69 $0.57 21% Segment and Geographic�Highlights BioDiscovery revenue was $249�million in the third quarter, an increase of�13�percent over the same period the previous year. Organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact from currency, was 10 percent. Revenue growth was a result of positive price realization, volume growth and royalty and licensing revenue. BioDiscovery non-GAAP gross margins increased 230 basis points year-over-year due to positive price realization, royalty and licensing revenue growth and mix. Cell�Systems revenue was $112�million in the third quarter 2008, an increase of 19 percent�over the same period the previous year. Organic revenue growth, which excludes the impact from currency and acquisitions, was 10 percent. Cell culture research had another quarter of low double digit growth and production media and sera grew in the double digits, as expected. Cell Systems non-GAAP gross margins decreased by 90 basis points year-over-year, as expected, mostly attributable to a higher mix of revenue from production sera and acquisitions, which have lower gross margins. Revenue growth, excluding impact from currency, by region for the third quarter was 11 percent in the Americas,�8 percent in Europe and�11 percent in Asia Pacific. Orders transacted through e-commerce channels�were 63 percent in the Americas during the third quarter and over 50 percent globally. New technology highlights included: -- Further expansion into the applied markets with the launch of the Dynabeads(R) MAX Legionella, which enables a unique process for targeting and concentrating legionella from environmental water samples. � -- Stem cell offerings expanded even further by licensing of the engineered stem cell line BG01 Olig2-GFP from the Buck Institute for Age Research, used in the study of neural cells in neurodegenerative disease. � -- Purchase of Visigen Biotechnologies, a small technology acquisition that further enhances Invitrogen's intellectual property estate in single molecule DNA sequencing. The company was also selected as a new member of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and named the leader of the biotechnology sector for 2008. Invitrogen ranked among the top 10 percent of the world's 2,500 largest companies in terms of sustainability for its performance in corporate governance, labor practices, talent development, community involvement, workplace safety, climate change and environmental management. Fourth Quarter 2008 Outlook Subject to the risk factors detailed in the Safe Harbor Statement section of this release, the company expects fourth quarter 2008 organic revenue, excluding the impact from currency and acquisitions, to increase in the mid single digits.

These measures are provided as supplementary information and are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define our non-GAAP results as our GAAP results excluding the after tax impact of the following: Acquisition related amortization; In process research and development expenses; Acquisition related gains and losses; Asset impairment charges related to a portfolio review; Business consolidation costs required to realize revenue and cost synergies from combining our acquired entities with our existing operations; Certain significant one time events that are unlikely to recur; and Share based payment expenses as a result of adoption of FAS123R. Management views these excluded items as not indicative of the operating results or cash flows of its operations and excludes these items as a supplemental disclosure to assist investors in evaluating and assessing our past and future operational performance. This presentation of our non-GAAP results is consistent with how management internally evaluates the performance of its operations. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our non-GAAP disclosures and the reconciliation between these presentations to more fully understand our business.
