Charles River Laboratories Announces Third-Quarter 2020 Results

Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today reported its results for the third quarter of 2020. For the quarter, revenue was $743.3 million, an increase of 11.3% from $668.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Acquisitions contributed 2.2% to consolidated third-quarter revenue growth. The impact of foreign currency translation benefited reported revenue growth by 1.3%. Excluding the effect of these items, organic revenue growth was 7.8%, driven primarily by the Discovery and Safety Assessment and Manufacturing Support segments, with Research Models and Services also contributing.

On a GAAP basis, third-quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $102.9 million, an increase of 41.3% from net income of $72.8 million for the same period in 2019. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $2.03, an increase of 39.0% from $1.46 for the third quarter of 2019. The GAAP net income and earnings per share increases were driven primarily by higher revenue, operating margin improvement, and venture capital investment gains. GAAP earnings per share included a gain from the Company’s venture capital and other strategic investments of $0.29 per share in the third quarter of 2020, compared to a loss of $0.01 per share for the same period in 2019. The Company’s venture capital and other strategic investment performance has been excluded from non-GAAP results.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $118.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 40.8% from $83.8 million for the same period in 2019. Third‑quarter diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $2.33, an increase of 37.9% from $1.69 per share for the third quarter of 2019. The non-GAAP net income and earnings per share increases were driven primarily by higher revenue and operating margin improvement, as well as a lower tax rate.

James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our exceptional third-quarter performance is indicative of several important factors: that our flexible and reliable outsourced solutions resonate with clients even more today than ever before; that our research model clients are already resuming their research activities; that the market environment remains robust; and that we are generating greater operating leverage across our businesses as a result of our efforts to build a more scalable and nimble organization.”

“The COVID-19 crisis has emphasized the strength and resilience of our business model, our differentiated portfolio, and our unwavering focus on the client experience, which collectively are enhancing our position as the leading, early stage contract research organization. As our clients focus on scientific innovation and invest more in their preclinical pipelines, we believe we will remain their partner of choice to move their early-stage programs forward,” Mr. Foster concluded.

Third-Quarter Segment Results
Research Models and Services (RMS)

Revenue for the RMS segment was $151.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 14.6% from $132.5 million in the third quarter of 2019. The HemaCare and Cellero acquisitions, which were completed in January 2020 and August 2020, respectively, contributed 11.1% to third-quarter RMS revenue. Organic revenue growth of 2.0% was driven primarily by higher research model services revenue, particularly the Genetically Engineered Models and Services (GEMS) business, as well as strong demand for research models in China, which rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic earlier than other geographic regions. Demand for research models outside of China improved significantly on a sequential basis as clients resumed more normalized research activities following COVID-19-related disruptions earlier in the year. As a result, client ordering trends for research models moved closer to pre-COVID-19 levels during the third quarter, particularly in Europe, but remained moderately below prior-year levels.

In the third quarter of 2020, the RMS segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 24.4% from 25.9% in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to acquisition-related amortization costs associated with HemaCare and Cellero. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 27.7% from 26.5% in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to operating leverage from higher revenue, as well as the benefit of operating efficiency initiatives, including cost controls associated with our COVID-19 response.

Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA)

Revenue for the DSA segment was $461.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 9.8% from $420.1 million in the third quarter of 2019. Organic revenue growth of 8.6% was driven by strong demand in both the Discovery Services and Safety Assessment businesses.

In the third quarter of 2020, the DSA segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 19.6% from 15.5% in the third quarter of 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 25.2% from 22.1% in the third quarter of 2019. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by operating leverage from higher revenue and the benefit of operating efficiency initiatives.

Manufacturing Support (Manufacturing)

Revenue for the Manufacturing segment was $130.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 12.9% from $115.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. Organic revenue growth was 11.5%, driven primarily by robust demand in the Biologics Testing Solutions (Biologics) business. Revenue for the Microbial Solutions business increased in the third quarter and the growth rate improved from the second-quarter level, due primarily to gradual improvement in the backlog of delayed instrument installations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Manufacturing segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 37.1% from 34.0% in the third quarter of 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 39.1% from 36.4% in the third quarter of 2019. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by operating leverage from robust revenue growth in the Biologics business, as well as contributions from the Avian Vaccine business. The elimination of duplicate costs associated with last year’s transition to the new Biologics facility also benefited the year-over-year operating margin comparison.

Increases 2020 Guidance

The Company is increasing its 2020 financial guidance, which was previously provided on August 5, 2020, primarily as a result of the better-than-expected third quarter performance. The revenue loss from the COVID-19 pandemic will be approximately $70 million in 2020, which is favorable to its prior estimate of approximately $100 million.

The Company’s revenue, earnings per share, and free cash flow guidance is as follows:

Footnotes to Guidance Table:

(1) The contribution from acquisitions reflects only those acquisitions that have been completed.

(2) Organic revenue growth is defined as reported revenue growth adjusted for acquisitions and foreign currency translation.

(3) These charges, which primarily include severance and other costs, relate primarily to the Company’s planned efficiency initiatives. Other projects in support of global productivity and efficiency initiatives are expected, but these charges reflect only the decisions that have already been finalized.

(4) These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions, and primarily include transaction, advisory, and certain third-party integration costs, as well as certain costs associated with acquisition-related efficiency initiatives.

(5) These items primarily relate to charges of approximately $0.15 associated with the planned termination of the Company’s U.S. pension plan in the second half of 2020, as well as charges of approximately $0.10 primarily associated with U.S. and international tax legislation that necessitated changes to the Company’s international financing structure.

(6) Venture capital and other strategic investment performance only includes recognized gains or losses. The Company does not forecast the future performance of these investments.

(7) The reconciliation of the current 2020 free cash flow guidance is as follows: Cash flow from operating activities of approximately $545 million, less capital expenditures of approximately $130 million, results in free cash flow of approximately $415 million.

Webcast

Estimates of COVID-19 Impact

In this press release, the Company has provided its estimates for the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, including on the Company's revenue. These estimates were determined using methodologies and assumptions that vary depending on the specific reporting segment and situation. For the Research Models and Services segment, estimates were primarily based on comparisons to daily historical research model sales volumes prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent reduction in research model order activity associated with our clients’ COVID-19 pandemic-related site closures and/or their reduced on-site activity, as well as our discussions with clients, particularly of our research model services and HemaCare businesses, with regard to revenue expectations and operational impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. For the Discovery and Safety Assessment segment, estimates were based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, discussions with clients with regard to the cause of delays to discovery projects and safety assessment studies, location-specific actions to ensure employee safety in our facilities, the impact of remote versus in-person activities and services, and supply chain delays and other resource constraints. For the Manufacturing Support segment, estimates were based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, analysis of the sales impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic, assessments of idle instruments and the related revenue streams due to the inability to access clients’ sites, as well as discussions with clients with regard to their revenue expectations and operations. Further, we assumed for the purposes of formulating these estimates that (1) restrictions on economic activity, including stay-in-place orders and other similar government actions, will largely not be re-imposed for the remainder of the fiscal year; (2) the global economy, as it relates to demand for Charles River’s products and services, will gradually improve through the remainder of 2020; and (3) most of the Company’s essential personnel will be able to work on-site; and (4) that the Company will have adequate supplies and resources to support its businesses. In addition, the estimated revenue loss related to COVID-19 is expected to be partially offset by incremental work on clients’ COVID-19 programs. Because these estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties, actual events and results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, and Charles River assumes no obligation and expressly disclaims any duty to update them.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The Company reports non-GAAP results in this press release, which exclude often-one-time charges and other items that are outside of normal operations. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the schedules at the end of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which exclude the amortization of intangible assets, and other charges related to our acquisitions; expenses associated with evaluating and integrating acquisitions and divestitures, as well as fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration; charges, gains, and losses attributable to businesses or properties we plan to close, consolidate, or divest; severance and other costs associated with our efficiency initiatives; the write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing; third-party costs associated with the remediation of unauthorized access into our information systems detected in March 2019; the non-cash tax benefit related to our international financing structure; charges related to the planned settlement of our U.S. pension plan; charges recorded in connection with the modification of our option to purchase equity in one of our joint ventures; investment gains or losses associated with our venture capital and other strategic investments; and adjustments related to the recognition of deferred tax assets expected to be utilized as a result of changes to the our international financing structure. This press release also refers to our revenue in both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis: “organic revenue growth,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. Commencing in the first quarter of 2019, we exclude the performance of our venture capital and other strategic investments due to the determination that such investment gains or losses are not core to our overall operations. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, as they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. We believe that the financial impact of our acquisitions and divestitures (and in certain cases, the evaluation of such acquisitions and divestitures, whether or not ultimately consummated) is often large relative to our overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis. In addition, certain activities and their underlying associated costs, such as business acquisitions, generally occur periodically but on an unpredictable basis. We calculate non-GAAP integration costs to include third-party integration costs incurred post-acquisition. Presenting revenue on an organic basis allows investors to measure our revenue growth exclusive of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company’s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules and regulations. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release, and can also be found on the Company’s website at ir.criver.com.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 Charles River management believes that supplementary non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to allow investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, without the effect of often-one-time charges and other items which are outside our normal operations, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. The supplementary non-GAAP financial measures included are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules, regulations and guidance.

(2)

 This amount represents a $2.2 million charge recorded in connection with the modification of the option to purchase the remaining 8% equity interest in Vital River in the nine months ended September 28, 2019.
