HOLOGIC ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER
FISCAL 2004 OPERATING RESULTS
Revenues and Backlog Increase to Record Highs
BEDFORD, Mass. (August 3, 2004) — Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX), a leading provider of women’s diagnostic imaging systems and state-of-the-art digital imaging systems, today announced its results for the quarter ended June 26, 2004.
Third quarter fiscal 2004 revenues totaled $59,225,000, a 13% increase when compared to revenues of $52,332,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. For the third quarter of fiscal 2004, Hologic reported net income of $3,325,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1,019,000 or $0.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The improvement in earnings reflects the increase in revenues, led by the continued shift in product sales to the higher margin digital mammography systems (Selenia). Included in the results was $741,000 the Company incurred in due diligence and related expenses in connection with the analysis and negotiation of a potential acquisition. At quarter-end, the Company had decided not to pursue this potential acquisition further and accordingly expensed all acquisition related costs.
For the nine months ended June 26, 2004, revenues totaled $164,756,000 compared to revenues of $151,631,000 in the nine months ended June 28, 2003. For the nine months ended June 26, 2004, Hologic recognized net income of $6,954,000, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $282,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the comparable nine-month period in fiscal 2003.
During the third quarter, Hologic installed and recognized as revenue, 37 Selenia full field digital mammography systems. At June 26, 2004, the Company’s backlog for orders of Selenia was 80 systems and total backlog for all products was over $58 million.
“This is the third consecutive quarter we have boosted earnings and revenue. Our ability to grow both the top and bottom line demonstrates the value we provide our customers” said, Jack W. Cumming, Chairman and CEO. “Quarter-over-quarter we continue to increase traction in our breast imaging product segment and are buoyed by the prospects for future sales growth. We anticipate the quality of our customer base, coupled with our revenue streams and operational efficiencies will continue to yield positive operating results for the balance of the fiscal year. For the future, we expect to leverage our technological advantages, expand our product offerings and increase our market penetration, to further enhance our competitive position.”
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company changed its segment reporting to reflect four market segments: Mammography; Osteoporosis Assessment; Digital Detectors; and All Other. The All Other segment includes the Company’s mini C-arm, conventional general radiography service and digital general radiography systems businesses. Prior period segment information has been restated to reflect this change in the Company’s segment reporting.
Third quarter financial overview by segment:
| • | Mammography revenues increased 41% to $30,611,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 from $21,752,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to continued increasing sales of Selenia in both the domestic and international markets. Operating income for this business segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 increased to $3,001,000 compared to operating income of $1,239,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase in operating income in the current quarter was primarily due to the increase in revenues and the higher gross profits on the shift in product sales to Selenia. |
| • | Osteoporosis assessment revenues were $17,614,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to $17,754,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003. Operating income for this business segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased to $1,961,000 from $2,572,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The decrease in operating income in the current quarter was primarily due to lower gross profits from a shift to lower priced systems sold into the United Sates primary care and international markets, slightly reduced service revenue and slightly higher service costs. |
| • | Digital detector revenues increased 112% to $4,683,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 from $2,207,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to a significant increase in the number of general radiography and mammography digital detectors sold to other OEMs. Operating loss for this business segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased to $1,073,000 from $1,589,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The decrease in operating loss in the current quarter was primarily due to the increased revenues and improved gross margins from the higher volume. |
| • | All other revenues decreased 41% to $6,317,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 from $10,619,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the shipment of fewer digital general radiography tables as this business is currently being phased out. Operating loss for this business segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 decreased to $462,000 from a loss of $1,188,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This decrease in operating loss in the current quarter was primarily due to a reduction in the operating expenses allocated to the digital general radiography systems business. |

Such statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: the Company’s prospects for future sales growth; the Company’s expected positive operating results for the balance of the fiscal year; the Company’s future expectations regarding its technological advantages, product offerings, market penetration and competitive position; and any implication that the Company’s backlog may be indicative of future sales.

The Company’s backlog consists of purchase orders for which delivery is scheduled within the next twelve months, as specified by the customer.

Other factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include, without limitation, manufacturing risks that may limit the Company’s ability to ramp-up commercial production of the Selenia and other of the Company’s digital products, including the Company’s reliance on a single source of supply for some key components of its products as well as the need to comply with especially high standards for those components and in the manufacture of digital X-ray products in general; uncertainties inherent in the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products, including technical and regulatory risks, cost overruns and delays; the risk that newly introduced products may contain undetected errors or defects or otherwise not perform as anticipated; the Company’s ability to predict accurately the demand for its products, and products under development, and to develop strategies to address its markets successfully; the early stage of market development for digital X-ray products; risks relating to compliance with financial covenants under the Company’s working capital financing and leases; technical innovations that could render products marketed or under development by the Company obsolete; competition; and reimbursement policies for the use of the Company’s products. Other factors that could adversely affect the Company’s business and prospects are described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
