OTHER INFORMATION
On July 28, 2016, QIAGEN N.V. (Nasdaq: QGEN; Frankfurt, Prime Standard: QIA) issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
QIAGEN has regularly reported adjusted results, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, to give additional insight into our financial performance as a supplement to understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make operating decisions. Adjusted results should be considered in addition to the reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered as a substitute. Reconciliations of reported results to adjusted results are included in the tables accompanying the press release. We believe certain items should be excluded from adjusted results when they are outside of our ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the comparability of results with the Company’s competitors and our own prior periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are non-GAAP net sales, gross profit, operating income, pre-tax income, net income and diluted earnings per share. These adjusted results exclude fair value adjustments to deferred revenue, costs related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment losses, acquisition and integration, including inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, as well as other special income and expense items. Management views these costs as not indicative of the profitability or cash flows of our ongoing or future operations and therefore considers the adjusted results as a supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, the reported GAAP results.
We use a measure of free cash flow to estimate the cash flow remaining after purchases of property, plant and equipment as required to maintain or expand our business. This measure provides us with supplemental information to assess our liquidity needs. We calculate free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
We also consider results on a constant currency basis. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar and our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are the local currency of the respective countries in which they are headquartered. A significant portion of our revenues and expenses is denominated in euros and currencies other than the United States dollar. Management believes that analysis of constant currency period-over-period changes is useful because changes in exchange rates can affect the growth rate of net sales and expenses, potentially to a significant degree. Constant currency figures are calculated by translating the local currency actual results in the current period using the average exchange rates from the previous year’s respective period instead of the current period.
We use non-GAAP and constant currency financial measures internally in our planning, forecasting and reporting, as well as to measure and compensate our employees. We also use the adjusted results when comparing to our historical operating results, which have consistently been presented on an adjusted basis.

QIAGEN on track for continued acceleration in H2 2016 and achieving targets for full-year 2016 growth in net sales and adjusted EPS

Increased commitment to return $300 million to shareholders by end of 2017

Venlo, The Netherlands, July 28, 2016 - QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2016, delivering on goals for net sales and adjusted earnings per share results while updating full-year 2016 targets for the acquisition of Exiqon A/S. QIAGEN also announced new plans to return $300 million of capital to shareholders by the end of 2017, expanding on the fourth $100 million share repurchase program announced in April 2016 (not yet initiated).
“We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter of 2016. These results confirm we are at an inflection point in setting QIAGEN on a new sales growth trajectory. We are on track for continued acceleration to achieve full-year targets for higher sales and adjusted earnings, intensifying our focus on further improving productivity and profitability as we reap the benefits from recent targeted investments to enhance mid- to long-term growth prospects,” said Peer M. Schatz, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V. “Our increased commitment to return $300 million of capital to shareholders by the end of 2017, including $200 million by early next year, underscores our confidence in achieving our targets and creating greater value.”
“All regions and customer classes contributed to our underlying 8% CER sales growth in the second quarter of 2016, fueled by strong sales expansion in Life Sciences and Molecular Diagnostics. Our growth drivers are demonstrating sustained momentum at a double-digit CER pace and provided 35% of sales. The QuantiFERON latent TB test maintained a rapid sales growth rate above 25% CER, while the QIAsymphony automation platform had another strong quarter of placements and double-digit CER growth in consumables. We are also pleased with the customer response since the late 2015 launch of our GeneReader NGS System, and we have expanded commercialization to the Asia-Pacific region beyond an initial focus on

Europe and the U.S. QIAGEN remains on track to achieve our 2016 goals and set a foundation for more growth in 2017 and beyond,” said Schatz.

Net sales grew 5% at actual rates compared to the second quarter of 2015, and grew 6% at constant exchange rates (CER), with one percentage point of adverse currency movements. Net sales rose 8% CER excluding U.S. HPV test sales, which created the expected two percentage points of headwind and represented only 2% of the total portfolio. All regions and customer classes delivered solid performances, and sales were higher for consumables and related revenues (+6% CER / 87% of sales) and instruments (+3% CER / 13% of sales). Organic growth provided five percentage points of the CER sales increase, and about one percentage point came from the late 2015 acquisition of MO BIO Laboratories Inc., a leader in sample technologies for metagenomics and microbiome analysis. No sales were consolidated in the 2016 results from the acquisition of Exiqon A/S, a provider of RNA analysis technologies, completed on June 28, 2016.
Operating income declined 26% to $29.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, and the operating income margin was 9% of sales. Adjusted operating income, which excludes items such as business integration, acquisition-related costs and the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, declined 12% to $69.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, and the adjusted operating income margin was 21% of sales compared to 25% in the same period of 2015. The adjusted gross margin declined to 70% of sales from 71% in the year-ago period. Sales & Marketing expenses rose as a percentage of sales during the 2016 quarter on planned investments to accelerate product commercialization and geographic expansion. Research & Development costs were also higher, in part to fund development for the GeneReader NGS System, and General & Administrative expenses were slightly higher compared to the year-ago quarter.
Net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V. was $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, or $0.09 per diluted share (based on 237.2 million diluted shares), compared to $25.1 million, or $0.11 per share (based on 237.0 million diluted shares) in the 2015 quarter. Adjusted net income declined 7% to $56.9 million, or $0.24 per share ($0.24 CER) from $60.9 million, or $0.26 per share.
“Our strong results, in particular the 75% increase in free cash flow for second quarter of 2016, are further confirmation that QIAGEN is moving ahead as planned to accelerate growth from our Sample to Insight portfolio while moving past the remaining headwind from declining U.S. HPV test sales,” said Roland Sackers,

Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V. “As we move into this new growth phase, our top priority remains to increase shareholder returns and create value. We intend to achieve our ambition by building strong mid-term sales growth trends while creating more operational leverage through efficient cost management programs. We are further optimizing our balance sheet through this increased commitment to return capital to shareholders while maintaining our flexibility.”

Net sales rose 2% at actual rates compared to the first half of 2016, and grew 4% CER at constant exchange rates (CER), with two percentage points of adverse currency movements. Net sales grew 6% CER excluding U.S. HPV test sales, which created the expected two percentage points of headwind and represented only 2% of the total portfolio. All regions and customer classes contributed to gains in consumables and related revenues (+4% CER / 88% of sales) and instruments (+4% CER / 12% of sales). Organic growth provided three percentage points of the CER sales increase, and about one percentage point came from the late 2015 acquisition of MO BIO Laboratories Inc. No sales were consolidated in the first half of 2016 from the acquisition of Exiqon completed on June 28, 2016.

Operating income fell 40% to $44.9 million in the first half of 2016, and the operating income margin was 7% of sales. Adjusted operating income, which excludes items such as business integration, acquisition-related costs and the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, declined 16% to $122.5 million, and the adjusted operating income margin was 19% of sales compared to 24% in the same period of 2015. The adjusted gross margin fell to 70% of sales from 72% in the year-ago period. In line with plans for investments in the first half of 2016, Sales & Marketing expenses rose as a percentage of sales to fund commercialization campaigns for growth drivers, in particular the QuantiFERON latent TB test in the U.S. and Europe, and geographic expansion initiatives. Research & Development costs were slightly higher as a percentage of sales to accelerate development programs, but General & Administrative expenses were slightly lower as a percentage of sales compared to the first half of 2015.

Net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V. was $35.9 million in the first half of 2016, or $0.15 per diluted share (based on 237.0 million diluted shares), compared to $44.6 million, or $0.19 per share (based on 237.2 million diluted shares) in the 2015 period. Adjusted net income was down 10% to $100.9 million, or $0.43 per share ($0.43 CER), from $112.4 million, or $0.47 per share.

At June 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents rose to $328.2 million from $290.0 million at December 31, 2015. Net cash provided by operating activities was $147.8 million in the first half of 2016, up from $134.7 million in the year-ago period. Purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment declined to $39.8 million in the first half of 2016 from $50.6 million in the year-ago period. As a result, free cash flow rose 28% to $107.9 million from $84.1 million in the first half of 2015. Net cash used in investing activities was $107.1 million, which included $90.5 million for the Exiqon acquisition in June 2016, compared to $21.4 million in the first half of 2015. Net cash used in financing activities was $5.0 million compared to $262.8 million in the first half of 2015, which included $250.9 million for debt repayment.

Molecular Diagnostics achieved 4% CER growth in sales for the second quarter of 2016, and rose at a much faster 8% CER pace when excluding the decline in U.S. HPV test sales, which was expected. Underlying double-digit CER growth in consumables and related revenues more than offset a single-digit CER drop in instrument sales. The QuantiFERON-TB test maintained growth above the 25% CER annual target, with an even faster sales expansion in the U.S. on the back of new commercialization initiatives. Sales of consumables for infectious disease testing rose at a double-digit CER pace, as placements of the QIAsymphony automation system maintained a solid pace for the first half of 2016. Other products for these customers, in particular QIAGEN sample technologies, also performed well and grew at a single-digit CER pace. Personalized Healthcare sales declined in the second quarter of 2016, mainly due to volatility in revenues received from Pharma co-development projects for new companion diagnostics ($6 million, -15% CER) and largely steady sales of companion diagnostic assays. Although U.S. HPV test sales declined as expected in the second quarter of 2016, sales in the rest of the world rose at a double-digit CER rate.
Applied Testing advanced on strong double-digit CER growth in instrument sales and mid-single-digit CER gains in consumables and related revenues, returning to a stronger trend after the unusually weak performance in the first quarter of 2016. The Americas region provided double-digit CER growth, supported by demand in the U.S. for new Human ID / forensics products launched during 2015, along with sales volume gains in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific / Japan regions.

Pharma delivered double-digit CER growth in instrument sales in the second quarter of 2016 along with robust single-digit CER gains from consumables and related revenues. All regions contributed to the solid performance amid better demand trends among Pharma customers in the U.S. and Europe.
Academia benefited during the second quarter of 2016 from new marketing initiatives and portfolio enhancements in addition to recent government decisions to increase funding for life sciences research, particularly in the U.S., which underpinned high-single-digit CER growth in consumables and related revenues, while instrument sales fell at a low-single-digit CER rate.

All regions contributed to the improved performance in second quarter of 2016. The top seven emerging markets (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Korea, Mexico and Turkey) provided 20% CER growth and 16% of sales. The Europe / Middle East / Africa region had gains in Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. Sales in the Americas rose 6% CER, excluding U.S. HPV test sales, on solid underlying single-digit growth in the U.S., as well as better trends in Brazil and Mexico. The Asia-Pacific / Japan region saw double-digit CER growth in China, India and Australia, but Japan recorded a significant double-digit CER decline.

Building momentum and accelerating growth with Sample to Insight portfolio
QIAGEN continues to build momentum for its Sample to Insight portfolio, led by a group of growth drivers that delivered double-digit CER growth and provided about 35% of sales in the first half of 2016. Among the recent developments:
The acquisition of the Danish company Exiqon A/S was completed on June 28, 2016, adding to QIAGEN’s portfolio of solutions to unlock important insights from RNA in the fight against cancer and other diseases. Integrating these solutions gives QIAGEN a leading position in the market for non-coding RNA (ncRNA) analysis in the Life Sciences and potential to expand the use of these solutions into Molecular Diagnostics. Exiqon offers an innovative Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) technology that improves specificity and sensitivity in PCR applications, NGS target enrichment and functional assays. Exiqon was acquired through a public tender offer at the original offer price of approximately $100 million, and is expected to be delisted from NASDAQ Copenhagen in August. No sales were consolidated in the first half of 2016, but this acquisition is expected to provide QIAGEN with about $10 million of sales during the second half of 2016, and to have a neutral impact on adjusted diluted earnings per share.

QIAGEN has responded to a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received in May 2016 regarding the QuantiFERON-TB test, the modern standard for detecting latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. The FDA letter described among its findings deficiencies in procedures related to complaint handling, Medical Device Reporting (MDR) and Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPA). These issues initially arose while the product was being manufactured under the quality system of Cellestis, which QIAGEN acquired in 2011, and prior to the ongoing transfer to the QIAGEN quality system. QuantiFERON-TB remains on the market in the United States and worldwide.

The modular QIAsymphony automation system remains on track for more than 1,750 cumulative placements by year-end 2016, in line with the full-year target for 250 new systems for 2016, compared to the over 1,500 cumulative placements at the end of 2015.

QIAGEN announced the expansion of its GeneReader NGS System for use with liquid biopsy samples at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in June 2016. Launched in late 2015, GeneReader is the first truly complete Sample to Insight workflow based on next-generation sequencing technology. The Actionable Insights Tumor Panel, the first member in the family of GeneRead QIAact Panels powered by the QIAGEN Clinical Insight (QCI) bioinformatics solution, is the industry’s first complete NGS solution for both non-invasive liquid biopsies and FFPE tissue samples.

GeneReader NGS System commercialization is moving ahead with new placements during the second quarter of 2016. As a result, QIAGEN has accelerated the expansion of sales activities to the Asia-Pacific region following initial focus on Europe and the U.S. GeneReader is gaining recognition as a highly efficient, user-friendly solution to address fragmented NGS workflows and bottlenecks that have hindered labs from gaining actionable insights. The Price Per Insight (PPI) model also offers a cost-effective and reliable way for labs to gain access to this technology. 
Increased commitment to return $300 million to shareholders by end of 2017
QIAGEN announced today new plans to further optimize its capital structure through an increased commitment to return at least $300 million of capital to shareholders by the end of 2017. This includes the plans announced in April 2016 for a fourth $100 million share repurchase program (not yet initiated) and an additional $200 million of returned capital. As a first step, QIAGEN intends to return approximately $200 million by early 2017, and the remaining $100 million before the end of 2017. The exact timing and details for these tranches will be announced at a later date.
2016 outlook
Based on the solid performance in the first half of the year, QIAGEN is on track to achieve its goals for higher full-year 2016 sales and adjusted earnings. Following the acquisition of Exiqon, which was completed on June 28, 2016, QIAGEN now expects net sales to rise about 6-7% CER for the full year. This is based on $10 million of first-time sales contributions from Exiqon during the second half of the year as well as achieving the prior guidance (announced in January 2016) for about 6% CER growth from the current portfolio. About one percentage point of growth is expected to come from the MO BIO acquisition in late 2015 and about

11

 
 

five percentage points from the rest of the portfolio (including about one percentage point of headwind from reduced U.S. HPV test sales). QIAGEN continues to expect full-year 2016 adjusted diluted EPS of about $1.10-1.11 CER per share, with the Exiqon acquisition expected to have a neutral impact. Based on exchange rates as of July 1, 2016, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to have an adverse impact of about 1-2 percentage points on full-year 2016 net sales, and about $0.01-0.02 per share on adjusted diluted EPS. These expectations do not take into account any acquisitions or share repurchases that could be completed during the second half of the year.
For the third quarter of 2016, net sales are expected to rise approximately 8-9% CER. This is based on about seven percentage points of growth from the current portfolio (including about one percentage point from the MO BIO acquisition, but offset by one percentage point of headwind from lower U.S. HPV test sales) and about $5 million of first-time sales contributions from the Exiqon acquisition. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be about $0.28 CER per share. Based on exchange rates as of July 1, 2016, QIAGEN expects currency movements to have an adverse impact of about one percentage point on net sales and about $0.01 on adjusted diluted EPS.
Use of adjusted results
QIAGEN reports adjusted results, as well as results on a constant exchange rate (CER) basis, and other non-U.S. GAAP figures (generally accepted accounting principles), to provide additional insight into its performance. These results include adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V., adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow. Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that QIAGEN believes should be considered in addition to reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered as a substitute. Free cash flow is calculated by deducting capital expenditures for Property, Plant & Equipment from cash flow from operating activities. QIAGEN believes certain items should be excluded from adjusted results when they are outside of ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the comparability of results with competitors and its own prior periods. Furthermore, QIAGEN uses non-GAAP and constant currency financial measures internally in planning, forecasting and reporting, as well as to measure and compensate employees. QIAGEN also uses adjusted results when comparing current performance to historical operating results, which have consistently been presented on an adjusted basis. Reconciliations are included in the tables accompanying this report.
Conference call and webcast details
QIAGEN’s performance will be discussed during a conference call on Friday, July 29, 2016, at 9:30 ET / 14:30 GMT / 15:30 CET. Presentation slides will be available for download shortly before the event at http://www.qiagen.com/de/about-us/investors/corporate-calendar/.
