WESTBROOK, Maine, Jan. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), reports revenues of $605 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 10% compared to the prior year period on a reported and organic basis. Fourth quarter results were driven by continued high gains in Companion Animal Group ("CAG") Diagnostics recurring revenue globally, as well as strong growth in the Company's Water and Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD") businesses. Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") were $1.04 on a reported basis for the fourth quarter, representing EPS growth of 6% and comparable constant currency EPS growth of 17%, which excludes the impact of CEO transition charges of $0.14 per share. Comparable constant currency growth measures are non-GAAP financial measures and have been modified to exclude operating expense impact of $13 million or $0.14 per share of CEO transition charges as described in our footnotes. Fourth quarter EPS results included $0.05 per share from better than projected share-based compensation tax benefits, $0.04 from lower than projected after-tax CEO transition charges and $0.04 in combined upsides from better than expected effective tax rate and interest expense.
Revenue for the full year of $2,407 million increased 9% on a reported and 10% on an organic basis, driven by 11% reported and 12% organic growth in CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue. For the full year 2019, EPS of $4.89 increased 15% on a reported basis and 21% on a comparable constant currency basis, supported by a reported 80 basis points of operating margin improvement, or 120 basis points on a comparable constant currency basis.
The Company is maintaining its full year 2020 revenue growth outlook of 9% - 10.5% on a reported and organic basis. The Company is increasing its EPS guidance range to $5.42 - $5.58, an increase of $0.12 per share, reflecting consistent expectations for 50 - 100 basis points of comparable constant currency operating margin improvement. The EPS guidance range improvement reflects approximately $0.05 in combined benefit from favorable updates to expectations for interest expense, shares outstanding and flow through of 2019 operating profit performance, approximately $0.05 per share in incremental benefits from projected share-based compensation tax benefits reflecting recent share prices, and $0.02 in benefit from updated projections for foreign exchange rates impacts.
"IDEXX fourth quarter results provided a strong finish to 2019, enabling us to deliver revenue and comparable constant currency EPS gains aligned with our long-term goals. Our full year results were driven by continued strong 12% organic growth in CAG Diagnostics recurring revenues, which now represent 76% of total IDEXX revenue. We are well positioned to build on this progress in 2020, leveraging our expanded global commercial capability and unique innovations which support continued strong diagnostics market growth driven by the adoption of higher standards of care for pets globally," said Jay Mazelsky, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Fourth Quarter Performance Highlights
Companion Animal Group
The Companion Animal Group generated 11% reported and organic revenue growth for the quarter. CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth remained strong at 11% reported and organic, net of a modest headwind from fewer equivalent days.
Veterinary software services and diagnostic imaging systems revenue growth increased 9% on a reported and organic basis, supported by double-digit growth in veterinary software and services.
Water
Water achieved revenue growth of 9% on a reported basis and 10% on an organic basis, including a 1% growth benefit from greater equivalent days. Water growth was supported by solid gains in the U.S. and strong growth in international markets.
Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD")
LPD revenue increased 8% on a reported basis and 10% on an organic basis, reflecting favorable comparisons related to year-end government and distributor order timing, gains from African Swine Fever diagnostic testing programs in China and growth in diagnostic testing associated with alternate food sources, such as poultry.
Gross Profit and Operating Profit
Gross profits increased 10%, and gross margins were flat year-over-year at 54.7%. On a constant currency basis, gross margin was slightly lower than fourth quarter 2018, reflecting increased investment in our reference lab business related to day lab capacity, courier route expansion, technology investments and acquisition integration, partially offset by continued solid net price gains and strong growth in consumable revenues.
Operating margin was 19.1% in the quarter, 190 basis points lower than the prior year period results on a reported basis and relatively flat on a comparable constant currency basis. Operating expenses increased 16% on a reported basis, reflecting the impact of the CEO transition charges, and 10% on a comparable constant currency basis, driven by increases in our CAG segment's sales and marketing costs and research and development spending.
2020 Financial Outlook
The following guidance for 2020 reflects the assumptions that for the remainder of 2020, the value of foreign currencies will remain at the following rates in U.S. dollars:
and relative to the U.S. dollar:
Outlook for 2020
The Company is raising its 2020 revenue outlook to $2,620 million - $2,655 million, supported by consistent outlook for reported and organic revenue growth of 9% - 10.5%, reflecting expectations for CAG Diagnostics recurring reported and organic revenue growth of 11% - 12%. Updated foreign exchange rate assumptions increased revenue guidance by approximately $5 million. At the foreign exchange rate assumptions in 2020 noted above, we estimate that the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar will reduce full year 2020 reported revenue growth by approximately 0.5%, EPS growth by approximately 2%, and EPS by an estimated $0.09 per share, including the net impact of lower projected hedge gains of approximately $5 million in 2020.
The Company is increasing its 2020 EPS outlook to $5.42 - $5.58 per share, an increase of $0.12 per share, or targeted growth of 11% - 14% on a reported basis and 13% - 16% on a comparable constant currency basis, which excludes a 3% growth rate benefit from comparisons to the 2019 CEO transition charges. The Company is projecting free cash flow at approximately 75% - 80% of net income in 2020, including approximately 7% impact related to $35 million of major facility capital spending for the completion of our Westbrook, Maine headquarters expansion, the relocation and expansion of our core laboratory in Germany, and the acquisition of real estate associated with a leased U.S. reference lab facility. Spending for major facility projects was $58 million in 2019, lower than earlier estimates driven by later timing of cash deployment. For 2020, the Company projects total capital spending, including major projects, of approximately $140 million - $155 million.
The Company provides the following updated guidance for 2020:

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following defines terms and conventions and provides reconciliations regarding certain measures used in this earnings release and/or the accompanying earnings conference call that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), otherwise referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and liquidity and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business and its liquidity and to the performance and liquidity of our peers. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Constant currency - Constant currency references are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are consistent with how management evaluates our performance and comparisons with prior and future periods. We estimated the net impacts of currency on our revenue, gross profit, operating profit, and EPS results by restating results to the average exchange rates or exchange rate assumptions for the comparative period, which includes adjusting for the estimated impacts of foreign currency hedging transactions. These estimated currency changes impacted fourth quarter 2019 results as follows: decreased gross profit growth by approximately 1%, increased gross margin growth by 10 basis points, decreased operating expense growth by 1%, had an immaterial impact on operating profit, operating profit margin growth, and EPS growth. Estimated currency changes impacted full year 2019 results as follows: increased gross margin growth by 10 basis points, decreased operating profit growth by 1%, had an immaterial impact on operating leverage growth, increased operating profit margin growth by 15 basis points, and decreased EPS growth by 1%. Estimated currency changes are also expected to decrease projected full year 2020 revenue growth by approximately 0.5%, decrease projected full year 2020 CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth by approximately 0.5%, decrease projected operating profit margin growth by approximately 20 basis points, and decrease projected 2020 EPS growth by approximately 2%, and decrease first quarter revenue growth by approximately 1%. Constant currency revenue growth represents the percentage change in revenue during the applicable period, as compared to the prior year period, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See the supplementary analysis of results below for revenue percentage change from currency for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.
Growth and organic revenue growth - All references to growth and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent prior year period unless specifically noted. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and revenue from business acquisitions. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to the performance of our peers. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019. See the constant currency note above for the impacts of estimated currency changes to fourth quarter and full year 2019, as well estimated full year 2020 organic revenue growth for the Company. The percentage change in revenue resulting from acquisitions represents incremental revenues attributable to business acquisitions that have occurred since the beginning of the prior year period. Revenue from acquisitions is expected to increase projected full year 2020 revenue growth by approximately 0.5% and first quarter 2020 revenue by 0.5%, and projected full year 2020 CAG Diagnostics recurring organic revenue growth by approximately 0.5%.
Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin growth - Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating profit margin gain (or growth) are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude CEO transition charges and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes that reporting comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain provide useful information to investors because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding key metrics used by management. Comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain reported in accordance with GAAP. CEO transition charges increased operating expense growth by 7% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2% for the full year 2019, decreased operating profit growth by 12% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 3% for the full year 2019, and decreased operating margin gain by 220 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 55 basis points for the full year 2019. CEO transition charges are projected to increase operating margin growth by approximately 50 basis points in 2020. These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain to comparable constant currency operating expense growth, operating profit growth, and operating margin gain for the Company.
Comparable constant currency EPS growth - Comparable constant currency EPS growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the tax effects of share-based compensation activity under ASU 2016-09, CEO transition charges, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes comparable constant currency EPS growth is a more useful way to measure the Company's business performance than EPS growth because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding a key metric used by management. Share-based compensation activity is expected to increase projected EPS by $0.09 to $0.11 for the full year 2020, increased fourth quarter 2019 EPS by $0.05 compared to $0.01 in the fourth quarter of 2018, increased EPS by $0.22 for the full year 2019, and increased EPS by $0.24 for full year 2018. CEO transition charges decreased EPS by $0.14 in the fourth quarter of 2019. These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported EPS growth to comparable constant currency EPS growth for the Company.
Free cash flow - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, reduced by the Company's investments in property and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property and equipment that are required to operate the business. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. To estimate projected 2020 free cash flow, we have deducted projected purchases of property and equipment (also referred to as capital expenditures) of ~$140 million - $155 million.
Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Leverage Ratios) - Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation. Management believes that using Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt and net debt in the Adjusted EBITDA ratio is a useful and recognized measure for evaluating financial leverage. For further information on how Adjusted EBITDA and the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio are calculated, see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
After-Tax Return on Invested Capital, Excluding Cash and Investments ("ROIC"): After-Tax Return on Invested Capital, Excluding Cash and Investments is a non-GAAP financial measure. After-tax return on invested capital, excluding cash and investments, represents our after-tax income from operations, divided by our average invested capital, excluding cash and investments, using beginning and ending balance sheet values. Management believes that reporting ROIC provides useful information to investors for evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of our use of capital. See the supplementary table below for reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
Notes and Definitions
CEO transition charges - Effective November 1, 2019, Jonathan W. Ayers, our former Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, stepped down as Chairman of our Board, ceased to be an employee of the Company and transitioned to the role of external Senior Advisor to the Company. Mr. Ayers continues to serve as a member of our Board. Pursuant to a mutual separation agreement between the Company and Mr. Ayers, we recognized a charge to operating income of approximately $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, representing the cost of severance payments and an acceleration of the cost of his equity awards, which was offset by a reduction to our provision for income taxes of approximately $1.2 million, resulting in a total charge to net income of approximately $12.2 million, net of tax impacts. This total charge to net income is less than our previously communicated expectation of approximately $15.5 million, as a result of finalizing our income tax provision.
