PERKINELMER SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS PER SHARE UP 42%
[X] SALES GREW 31%, ORGANIC SALES UP 12%
[X] OPERATING MARGIN EXPANDS 420 BASIS POINTS
[X] EARNINGS PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS UP 132%
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.... PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI) announced a 42% increase
in earnings per share to $.51 in the second quarter based on a strong increase
in revenue and operating margin improvement. Gregory L. Summe, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer said, "This was another excellent quarter for
PerkinElmer as each of our businesses delivered on their commitments by
expanding margins, increasing sales growth, and strengthening their processes
and organizations."
Highlights for the quarter include:
- Revenue expanded 31% to $399 million. Organic revenue growth, which is
adjusted for acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange, was 12%. This
marked the Company's fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic
revenue growth.
- Operating margins expanded by 420 basis points to 11.5%, reflecting a
stronger portfolio of businesses and company-wide productivity and quality
initiatives.
- Earnings per share increased 42% to $.51 from $.36 in the same quarter last
year. Earnings per share from continuing operations grew 132% as last year
included $.14 from operations subsequently discontinued.
- During the quarter, the Company announced its agreement to acquire NEN Life
Sciences, a leading supplier of drug discovery technologies and reagents.
"The addition of NEN positions us as the third largest drug discovery tool
provider in the world," noted Mr. Summe. The deal is expected to close July
31.

Second-quarter financial overview by segment:
- LIFE SCIENCES sales grew to $42 million, a 15% organic increase compared to
the prior year. Operating margin expanded 190 basis points to 13.7% as a
result of higher sales volume and production efficiencies. The Drug
Discovery business expanded 21% over last year on strong demand for new
products, including the Victor2 V, a benchtop system that integrates
multiple detection technologies used in drug target identification and lead
validation. Genetic Disease Screening grew 19% reflecting an increased
demand for prenatal and neonatal testing as an early intervention practice.
- OPTOELECTRONICS sales expanded to $121 million on 20% organic growth.
Operating income increased 45% to $17.5 million. Operating margin grew to
14.5%, in part reflecting the benefits of shifting selected production to
high-quality, Asian manufacturing facilities. Results were strong across
all three businesses. Telecom revenue expanded 50% on the strength of
optical fiber networking component sales, which more than tripled. Industry
demand and the strength of new product introductions in areas such as fiber
optic testing also continued to drive growth.
- INSTRUMENTS sales of $176 million were up 79% over last year largely
reflecting two acquisitions, and organic growth was 5%. Sales were strong
in Asia Pacific and new products such as the ICP Optima 4000 DV system met
with strong customer acceptance. Operating income expanded 560 basis points
to 9.0%, on the strength of integration synergies.
- FLUID SCIENCES sales increased to $60 million. Organic revenue growth was
19% on the strength of semiconductor and power generation business
performance. Operating margins expanded 730 basis points to a record 16.9%
attributable to higher volume, sale of unprofitable businesses and
operational efficiencies.
Summarizing the Company's second quarter performance, Mr. Summe said "Our
aggressive portfolio upgrade to higher-growth technology markets has positioned
us well to continue to deliver double-digit organic growth, excellent operating
margin expansion, and solid cash flow performance."
Unless otherwise stated, references throughout this release to operating income,
operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share exclude nonrecurring
items.
