SAN DIEGO, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — CareFusion Corp. (NYSE: CFN), a leading, global medical device company, today reported results from continuing operations for the three and six months ended Dec. 31, 2009.
“We continued to execute well during our second quarter and performed ahead of our expectations,” said David Schlotterbeck, chairman and CEO of CareFusion. “Hospital capital spending made modest improvements during the quarter and we continued to win key customer contracts. We also benefited in our respiratory business from government and hospital flu preparedness planning.
“As I look ahead to the second half of the fiscal year, we will make progress on our long-term plans for growth, stepping up our investments in R&D and sales and marketing to grow our key franchises and extend into important market adjacencies.”
CareFusion’s reported results compare to the three and six month periods ended Dec. 31, 2008.
Revenue in the second quarter increased 5 percent to $1 billion, or 2 percent on a constant currency basis, driven primarily by increased sales in the company’s Respiratory business and in its Medical Technologies and Services segment. Sequentially from the first quarter ended Sept. 30, 2009, revenue increased $96 million or 11 percent. Compared to a strong prior year period when the slowdown in hospital capital spending had not yet had an impact on the company’s financial results, operating income declined to $127 million from $172 million. Income from continuing operations was $73 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.
Excluding nonrecurring items, adjusted operating income for the second quarter declined to $149 million from $177 million and adjusted net income decreased $22 million to $88 million, or $0.39 on an adjusted basis per diluted share.
Operating expenses, including selling, general and administrative (SG&A), research and development (R&D), and restructuring and acquisition integration charges in the second quarter totaled $351 million or 34 percent of total revenue. Excluding $22 million of nonrecurring items, adjusted operating expenses in the second quarter totaled $329 million, or 32 percent of total revenue. Adjusted SG&A expenses were $292 million, and R&D investments totaled $37 million.
Critical Care Technologies
Second quarter revenue for the Critical Care Technologies segment, which includes the company’s Dispensing, Infusion and Respiratory businesses, increased 1 percent to $682 million, driven by a strong performance in the company’s Respiratory business. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased by 1 percent. Segment profit decreased to $111 million from $146 million. Adjusted segment profit decreased to $126 million from $148 million driven by the impact of the slowdown in hospital capital spending and higher allocated costs from standing up as a public company, which were only partially offset by strong results in the company’s Respiratory business.
Medical Technologies and Services
Second quarter revenue for the Medical Technologies and Services segment, which includes the company’s Infection Prevention and Medical Specialties businesses, increased 15 percent to $337 million, or 8 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by increased sales from the International Surgical Products and Interventional Specialties businesses. Segment profit decreased to $16 million from $26 million. Adjusted segment profit decreased to $23 million from $29 million, primarily driven by higher allocated costs from standing up as a public company.
Six-Month Results
