MADISON, N.J., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (NYSE: DGX), the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services, announced today its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The results being reported today are consistent with the preview provided by the company on October 10, 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130717/NY48934LOGO)
For the third quarter of 2013, adjusted income from continuing operations was $154 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared to $186 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for 2012. Reported income from continuing operations was $403 million, or $2.66 per diluted share, compared to $159 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in 2012. Reported income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2013 was favorably impacted by the gain on sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights of approximately $300 million after tax, or $1.97 per share. In addition, reported income from continuing operations was negatively impacted by a loss on sale of the Enterix business of approximately $25 million after tax, or $0.17 per share, as well as by $24 million after tax, or $0.16 per diluted share, of restructuring and integration costs related to the company's ongoing efforts to drive operational excellence and simplify the organization. In the third quarter of 2012, reported income from continuing operations was reduced by $0.17 per diluted share related to restructuring and integration costs.
Revenues from continuing operations were $1.79 billion for the third quarter, 1.9% below the prior year. Diagnostic information services revenues decreased 2.4%. Volume, measured by the number of requisitions, increased approximately 2% versus the prior year. Recent acquisitions added approximately 3% to volume and approximately 2% to revenue growth versus the prior year. Revenue per requisition was 4.3% below the prior year. The impact of our recent toxicology acquisition reduced revenue per requisition by about 1%. Revenue per requisition for the underlying business was lower by 3.3% due primarily to continued reimbursement pressure.
For the third quarter of 2013, adjusted operating income from continuing operations was $294 million, or 16.5% of revenues, compared to $349 million, or 19.1% of revenues, for 2012. For the third quarter of 2013, reported operating income from continuing operations was $690 million, or 38.6% of revenues, which includes the gain on sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights, compared to $305 million, or 16.7% of revenues, in 2012. Cash provided by operations during the third quarter of 2013 was $186 million, compared to $395 million in the third quarter of 2012, driven by increased tax payments and lower adjusted operating income in the third quarter, as well as cash received from an interest rate swap termination in the prior year period.
"We are disappointed with our third quarter performance, particularly after generating revenues early in the period that were in line with our expectations," said Steve Rusckowski, President and CEO. "Healthcare utilization and reimbursement continue to be a headwind for our industry, and our results reflect that. As we have said previously, 2013 is a building year that will position us well for 2014 and beyond. We remain focused on executing our five-point strategy."
Mr. Rusckowski continued: "Our portfolio review process is providing financial flexibility to drive shareholder value. During the quarter, we monetized the Ibrutinib royalty rights and the Enterix products business, bringing our gross proceeds for the first nine months to approximately $800 million. During the quarter, we increased our share repurchase authorization by $1 billion and executed our second accelerated share repurchase agreement, bringing our year-to-date repurchases to nearly $1 billion. In October, we completed our fourth acquisition of 2013, in line with our goal of contributing 1-2% revenue growth per year through strategically aligned, accretive acquisitions."
Year-to-Date Performance
Revenues from continuing operations were $5.4 billion for the first nine months of 2013, 3.9% below the prior year. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $461 million, or $2.97 per diluted share, compared to $539 million, or $3.35 per diluted share, in 2012. On a reported basis, income from continuing operations was $671 million, or $4.32 per diluted share, including the gain on sale of the Ibrutinib royalty rights, compared to $490 million, or $3.04 per diluted share, in 2012.
Adjusted operating income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2013 was $873 million, or 16.2% of revenues, compared to $1.0 billion, or 18.1% of revenues, for 2012. On a reported basis, operating income from continuing operations was $1.2 billion, or 22.4 % of revenues, compared to $936 million, or 16.7% of revenues, in 2012. Cash provided by operations was $442 million, compared to $807 million in 2012, driven by lower adjusted operating income and the timing of tax payments in 2013 as well as cash received from the interest rate swap termination in the prior year.
Outlook for Full-Year 2013 Updated
For 2013, the company estimates results from continuing operations, before special items, as follows:
Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As used in this press release, the term "adjusted" refers to the operating performance measures that exclude the gain on sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights, restructuring and integration charges, the loss on sale of the Enterix business and CEO succession costs. Adjusted measures are presented because management believes those measures are useful adjuncts to reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Adjusted measures should not be considered as an alternative to the corresponding measures determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Earnings per common share are computed independently for each quarterly period. Therefore, the sum of quarterly earnings per common share will not equal earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. |
2) Adjusted amounts for operating income, operating income as a percentage of net revenues, income from continuing operations attributable to Quest Diagnostics' stockholders, and diluted earnings per common share represent the Company's results before the impact of the gain on sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights, restructuring and integration charges, loss on sale of the Enterix business and first and second quarter 2012 costs associated with the succession of our prior CEO. Adjusted measures are presented because management believes those measures are useful adjuncts to reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States when comparing results of operations from period to period. Adjusted measures should not be considered as an alternative to the corresponding measures determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

7) On April 19, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with a financial institution to repurchase $450 million of the Company's common stock as part of the Company's Common Stock repurchase program. The ASR was structured as a combination of two transactions: (1) a treasury stock repurchase and (2) a forward contract which permits the Company to purchase shares immediately with the final purchase price of those shares determined by the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the purchase period, less a fixed discount. Under the ASR agreement, the Company paid $450 million to the financial institution and received 7.6 million shares of common stock, resulting in a final price per share of $59.46. The Company initially received 7.2 million shares of its common stock during the second quarter of 2013 and an additional 0.4 million shares upon completion of the ASR agreement during the third quarter of 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company recorded this transaction as an increase in treasury stock of $405 million, and recorded the remaining $45 million as a decrease to additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon completion of the ASR agreement in the third quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified the $45 million to treasury stock from additional paid-in capital on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On September 4, 2013, the Company entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution to repurchase $350 million of the Company's common stock as part of the Company's Common Stock repurchase program. The ASR is structured as a combination of two transactions: (1) a treasury stock repurchase and (2) a forward contract which permits the Company to purchase shares immediately with the final purchase price of those shares determined by the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the purchase period, less a fixed discount. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 4.7 million shares of its common stock under the ASR at an initial price of $59.93 per share for a total of $280 million, which represents approximately 80 percent of the total shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR. The forward contract will settle the remaining shares upon the completion of the ASR in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company recorded this transaction as an increase to treasury stock of $280 million, and recorded the remaining $70 million as a decrease to additional paid-in capital in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013. The $70 million recorded in additional paid-in capital will be reclassified to treasury stock upon completion of the ASR.
In addition to the ASRs previously discussed, the Company repurchased shares of its common stock on the open market. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 2.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $59.06 per share for $132 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 3.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $58.66 per share for $194 million.
At September 30, 2013, $871 million remained available under the Company's share repurchase authorizations. |
8) On April 9, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its HemoCue diagnostic products business. As a result, income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, includes a gain of $13.5 million associated with the sale of HemoCue. In addition, income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, includes discrete tax benefits of $19.8 million associated with favorable resolution of certain tax contingencies related to our NID business, which was wound down in 2006. |
9) The outlook for adjusted diluted earnings per common share represents management's estimates for the full year 2013 before the impact of the gain on sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights, restructuring and integration charges and loss on sale of the Enterix business. The outlook for adjusted cash provided by operations represents management's estimate for the full year 2013 before the impact of the estimated income tax payment, expected in the fourth quarter of 2013, associated with the sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights. These measures are presented because management believes they are useful adjuncts to the corresponding amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States since they are meaningful to evaluate the Company's ongoing operating performance and are on a basis consistent with previous estimates of diluted earnings per common share and cash provided by operations. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share and adjusted cash provided by operations are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to the corresponding amount determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The following table reconciles our 2013 diluted earnings per common share outlook, on an adjusted basis, to the corresponding amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The outlook, on an adjusted basis, excludes the impact of the gain on sale of Ibrutinib royalty rights, restructuring and integration charges and loss on sale of Enterix. |
