Agilent Technologies Reports Fourth-Quarter Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Results
Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: A) today reported revenue of $1.19
billion for the fourth-quarter ended October 31, 2017, up 7.1 percent
year over year (up 5.8 percent on a core basis(2)).
Fourth-quarter GAAP net income was $177 million, or $0.54 per share.
Last year's fourth-quarter GAAP net income was $126 million, or $0.38
per share.
During the fourth quarter, Agilent had intangible amortization of $28
million, transformation costs of $7 million and acquisition and
integration costs of $5 million. Excluding these items and a tax expense
of $1 million, Agilent reported fourth-quarter non-GAAP net income of
$218 million, or $0.67 per share(1).
"We ended fiscal 2017 with another strong quarter of revenue and profit
growth," said Mike McMullen, Agilent CEO and President. "Every quarter
this year we have delivered strong revenue growth, expanded operating
margins and increased non-GAAP earnings per share. Our consistently
excellent financial performance demonstrates our sustained ability to
win in the marketplace, while also driving operational improvements."
"We are successfully executing our strategy positioning Agilent for
future growth," he added. "We continue strengthening our portfolio
through our own R&D investment and M&A, bringing new capabilities and
highly differentiated products to our customers. We have positive
momentum heading into fiscal year 2018, and will continue our focus on
driving sustainable above-market growth and delivering value to
shareholders."
Fourth-quarter revenue of $575 million from Agilent's Life Sciences and
Applied Markets Group (LSAG) grew 5 percent year over year (up 4 percent
on a core basis(2)), with strength in chemical and
energy, academia and government and food end markets. LSAG's operating
margin for the quarter was 23.9 percent.
Fourth-quarter revenue of $404 million from Agilent CrossLab Group (ACG)
grew 9 percent year over year (up 8 percent on a core basis(2)).
Growth was healthy across services and consumables, most regions and end
markets. ACG's operating margin for the quarter was 22.9 percent.
Fourth-quarter revenue of $210 million from Agilent's Diagnostics and
Genomics Group (DGG) grew 9 percent year over year (up 7 percent on a
core basis(2)) led by increasing demand for pathology
products and companion diagnostics services. DGG's operating margin for
the quarter was 20.8 percent.
Agilent expects first-quarter 2018 revenue in the range of $1.145
billion to $1.165 billion. First-quarter 2018 non-GAAP earnings are
expected to be in the range of $0.55 to $0.57 per share(3).
For fiscal year 2018, Agilent expects revenue of $4.720 billion to
$4.740 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $2.50 to $2.56 per share(3).
The guidance is based on October 31, 2017, currency exchange rates.

(1) Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share primarily
excludes the impacts of acquisition and integration costs,
transformation initiatives, business exit and divestiture costs, and
non-cash intangibles amortization. We also exclude any tax benefits or
expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which
are either isolated or is not expected to occur again with any
regularity or predictability. A reconciliation between non-GAAP net
income and GAAP net income is set forth on page 6 of the attached tables
along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP
measure.
(2) Core revenue growth excludes the impact of currency, the NMR
business and acquisitions and divestitures within the past 12 months.
Core revenue is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation between Q4 FY17
GAAP revenue and core revenue is set forth on page 8 of the attached
tables along with additional information regarding the use of this
non-GAAP measure.
(3) Non-GAAP earnings per share as projected for Q1 FY18 and full fiscal
year 2018 excludes primarily the future impact of acquisition and
integration costs, transformation costs, non-cash intangibles
amortization, and other related costs. We also exclude any tax benefits
that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either
isolated or is not expected to occur again with any regularity or
predictability. Most of these excluded amounts that pertain to events
that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate
with a reasonable degree of accuracy and could differ materially.
Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided. Future
amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $25 million
per quarter.

(a) The adjustment for taxes excludes tax benefits that
management believes are not directly related to on-going operations
and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again
with any regularity or predictability. For the three months and year
ended October 31, 2017, management uses a non-GAAP effective tax
rate of 18.0% for both periods. In the same periods last year,
management used a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16.8% and 19.0%,
respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We provide non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share
amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the
future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things,
charges related to asset impairments, amortization of intangibles,
business exit and divestiture costs, transformational initiatives,
acquisition and integration costs, impairment of investment and
loans, pension curtailment gain and pension settlement gain.
|
|
Asset impairments include assets that have been written down
to their fair value.
|
|
Business exit and divestiture costs include costs associated
with the exit of the NMR business and other business divestitures.
|
|
Transformational initiatives include expenses associated with
targeted cost reduction activities such as manufacturing transfers,
site consolidations, legal entity and other business
reorganizations, insourcing or outsourcing of activities. Such costs
may include move and relocation costs, one-time termination benefits
and other one-time reorganization costs. Included in this category
are also expenses associated with the post-separation resizing of
the IT infrastructure and streamlining of IT system as well as
company programs to transform our product lifecycle management (PLM)
system and financial systems.
|
|
Acquisition and Integration costs include all incremental
expenses incurred to effect a business combination. Such acquisition
costs may include advisory, legal, tax, accounting, valuation, and
other professional or consulting fees. Such integration costs may
include expenses directly related to integration of business and
facility operations, the transfer of assets and intellectual
property, information technology systems and infrastructure and
other employee-related costs.
|
|
Impairment of investment and loans include an investment and
the related convertible loans that have been written down to their
fair value.
|
|
Pension curtailment gain resulted from certain retirement
plans benefit reductions.
|
|
Pension settlement gain resulted from transfer of the
substitutional portion of our Japanese pension plan to the
government.
|
|
Other includes certain legal costs and settlements in
addition to other miscellaneous adjustments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of
our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to
compensate employees. Since management finds this measure to be
useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our
results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing our
GAAP results. This information facilitates our management's internal
comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the
operating results of our competitors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of
intangibles can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our
net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our statement of
cash flows portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful
for investors to see core performance free of special items,
investors should understand that the excluded items are actual
expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To
gain a complete picture of all effects on the company's profit and
loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should)
rely upon the GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus
instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a
subset, albeit a critical one, of the company's performance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement
to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should
be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should
be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from
the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preliminary non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS reconciliation
is estimated based on our current information.

Income from operations reflect the results of our reportable
segments under Agilent's management reporting system which are not
necessarily in conformity with GAAP financial measures. Income from
operations of our reporting segments exclude, among other things,
charges related to asset impairments, amortization of intangibles,
business exit and divestiture costs, transformational initiatives,
acquisition and integration costs, impairment of investment and
loans, pension curtailment gain and pension settlement gain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement
to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should
be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should
be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from
the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preliminary segment information is estimated based on our
current information.

(a) We compare the year-over-year change in revenue
excluding the effect of recent acquisitions and divestitures and
foreign currency rate fluctuations to assess the performance of our
underlying business. To determine the impact of currency
fluctuations, current period results for entities reporting in
currencies other than United States dollars are converted into
United States dollars at the actual exchange rate in effect during
the respective prior periods.

The preliminary reconciliation of GAAP revenue adjusted for the NMR
business, recent acquisitions and divestitures and impact of
currency is estimated based on our current information.
