Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the six months ended June 30, 2010
decreased to $0.42 per share from $0.44 per share in the same period of 2009.
QIAGEN's second quarter and six-month period 2010 results include the results of
operations from the Company's recent acquisitions, the most significant of which
were SABiosciences Corporation, acquired in December 2009 and DxS Ltd., acquired
in September 2009. Reconciliations of reported results determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to adjusted results are
included in the tables accompanying this release.
"QIAGEN experienced a successful second quarter," said Peer Schatz, QIAGEN's
Chief Executive Officer. "We met our quarterly revenue expectations as
communicated in our previous quarterly conference call and came in on the high
end of our adjusted EPS expectations. Our markets remain stable across our
customer segments and show promising growth opportunities.
"We achieved a substantial increase in product sales to our customers in
molecular diagnostics, applied markets, the pharmaceutical industry and in
academia and remain very well prepared to exploit further growth opportunities
in our target markets.
"Molecular diagnostics remains our strongest revenue driver even when
considering the impacts related to swine flu testing in 2009. The market for our
profiling assays and solutions remains very solid. The market for our prevention
assays (primarily HPV screening), continues to benefit from our market adoption
initiatives in the United States despite what is believed to be a temporary
extension of doctor visit intervals. Anticipated future healthcare policies and
reimbursement schemes world-wide promise a healthy outlook for this market
segment. The applied testing markets show excellent growth opportunities. Our
recent addition of more than 70 new food safety tests to our assay technologies
portfolio and the addition of a portfolio of forensic assays position QIAGEN for
further strong growth in the applied testing customer class. In the
pharmaceutical industry we observed a continuing trend to focus on our sample
and assay solutions that enable molecular selection, guidance, progression and
recurrence during the drug development process. With our portfolio of sample and
assay technologies and our broad portfolio of instrument platforms we believe we
are well positioned to address the needs coming with molecular based drug
development. In addition we recently launched our new SABiosciences portfolio
through our QIAGEN sales channels, thereby enabling pharmaceutical and academic
partners to advance biomarker discovery and research.
"We feel very well prepared to take advantage of the growth opportunities in our
target markets and are on track to achieve our annual targets."
"We are pleased with our financial performance in this second quarter of 2010.
Reported revenues met, and adjusted earnings per share were at the high end of,
our expectations for the second quarter of 2010 as set in our most recent
quarterly conference call in early May," said Roland Sackers, QIAGEN's Chief
Financial Officer. "Revenue growth for the second quarter was 9% (11% under
constant exchange rates). Organic growth excluding H1N1 related revenues was
strong at 10% and we realized a positive contribution from acquisitions of 7%.
"Our consumable portfolio represented approximately 85% of our total net sales
and contributed approximately 10% growth at constant exchange rates. QIAGEN's
instrumentation products represented approximately 14% of our total net sales
and grew with approximately 10% at constant exchange rates. The largest revenue
share we recorded in the second quarter 2010 was in sales to customers in
molecular diagnostics (approximately 47% of total revenues) followed by sales to
customers in academia (approximately 24% of total revenues), in the
pharmaceutical industry (approximately 22% of total revenues) and in applied
testing markets (approximately 7% of total revenues).
"We are reiterating our guidance for the fiscal year 2010. Based on foreign
currency exchange rates as of January 31, 2010, this guidance targets revenues
between $1,120 and $1,170 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share
between $0.90 and $0.96. The guidance on EPS, adjusted does not include a
negative contribution for 2010 of approximately US$0.01 from the acquisition of
all rights to a portfolio of molecular food safety tests developed by the
Institute for Product Quality (ifp) in May 2010."
QIAGEN - Sample and Assay Technologies Highlights
* QIAGEN extended its development agreement with Genome Diagnostics targeting
the development and commercialization of a series of new assays to detect
genetic variations in the so called Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) complex.
These assays are increasingly used in personalized healthcare (PHC). The
assays will include tests based on QIAGEN's proprietary "Pyrosequencing"
technology which enables fast, cost effective and accurate analysis of HLA
sequences, and allows for direct detection of previously unknown
polymorphisms. QIAGEN believes that this collaboration will further expand
the Company's testing portfolio for the early detection of diseases and
individualized treatment of patients - thereby strengthening QIAGEN's
molecular diagnostics offering for applications in prevention and
personalized healthcare (PHC).
* QIAGEN acquired all rights to a portfolio of 70 molecular food safety tests
developed by the Institute for Product Quality (ifp). The tests are based on
real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology and cover a broad range
of molecular targets including genetic, bacterial, viral and other
contaminants of food products. The tests can be fully automated using
QIAGEN's instrument platforms such as the QIAsymphony and the Rotor-Gene Q.
The transaction enables QIAGEN to offer complete solutions for all major
applications in the food safety testing segment, covering entire workflows
from the processing of primary samples to the final testing result. The
first test kits are expected to be available through QIAGEN in the fourth
quarter of 2010.
* QIAGEN added a range of Human Identity (HID) PCR assays for human identity
testing applications in forensics to its assay technologies portfolio
through the acquisition of various assets from a leading forensics assay
supplier in Europe. Our new human ID assay portfolio includes IP, know-how
and co-exclusive rights to innovative software suites for analysis of STR
genotyping data. The assay portfolio features comprehensive coverage of
international STR (short tandem repeat) marker standards, including the new
European Standard Set (ESS) as defined by the Council of the European Union
in the effort to harmonize Europe's national DNA databases.
* QIAGEN announced a donation of one million HPV tests to low-income countries
over five years, following the April 2009 publication of study results in
The New England Journal of Medicine. The control group in the study had no
screening, which is the standard of care in many parts of India. From the
company's "one million test" donation program, QIAGEN allocated first
grants, including a donation of approximately 26,000 human papillomavirus
(HPV) tests to the Nargis Dutt Memorial Cancer Hospital in India for
cervical cancer screening.
* QIAGEN completed the European certification of its careHPV(TM) Test to bring
human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to public-health programs in
low-resource, developing countries. The CE conformity marking ("Conformité
Européenne") certifies that the careHPV Test has met European Union consumer
safety and health requirements, allowing the test to be distributed in
developing countries that recognize the CE mark.
* QIAGEN launched 19 new products/product groups in the area of Sample & Assay
Technologies including the SABiosciences portfolio for gene and pathway
analysis as well as a number of molecular diagnostic assays including a
CE-labeled artus real time PCR assay for the detection of the Herpes-Simplex
virus and the EASYartus PCR assay for the detection of the Cytomegalus
virus.

Use of Adjusted Results
QIAGEN has regularly reported adjusted results to give additional insight into
its financial performance as well as considered results on a constant currencies
basis. Adjusted results should be considered in addition to the reported results
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should
not be considered as a substitute. The Company believes certain items should be
excluded from adjusted results when they are outside of its ongoing core
operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the
comparability of results with the Company's competitors and its own prior
periods. Reconciliations of reported results to adjusted results are included in
the tables accompanying this release.
