Quidel Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SAN DIEGO--()--Quidel Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL), a provider of rapid diagnostic testing solutions, cellular-based virology assays and molecular diagnostic systems, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Total revenue increased 276% to $476.1 million, from $126.5 million in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Total sales of COVID-19 products were $375.7 million.
  • Reported GAAP EPS of $5.33 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020, compared with $0.38 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Reported non-GAAP EPS of $5.78 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020, compared with $0.70 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2019.

Third Quarter 2020 Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $476.1 million, versus $126.5 million for the third quarter of 2019. The 276% increase in sales from the third quarter of 2019 was driven by growth in Rapid Immunoassay and Molecular Diagnostic Solutions product categories, the result of strong demand for the newly launched Sofia® SARS Antigen and Lyra® SARS-CoV-2 tests. This growth in revenue was minimally offset by declines in Specialized Diagnostic Solutions and Cardiometabolic Immunoassay revenues. Currency exchange had a favorable impact of $0.5 million.

Rapid Immunoassay product revenue increased by $294.5 million in the third quarter of 2020 to $337.0 million, primarily due to $317.9 million in revenue for our Sofia SARS Antigen test. Cardiometabolic Immunoassay revenue totaled $64.8 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decline of 3% from the third quarter of 2019, driven by reduced hospital visits by chest pain patients stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Molecular Diagnostic Solutions revenue increased $58.3 million to $63.0 million due to Lyra® SARS-CoV-2 assay revenue of $57.8 million. Specialized Diagnostic Solutions revenue decreased 10% from the third quarter of 2019 to $11.2 million.

“Our strong third quarter results serve as preamble for what will be a truly remarkable finish to 2020,” said Douglas Bryant, president and chief executive officer of Quidel Corporation. “It is a story of creativity, innovation and grit that stretches from our research labs to our regulatory affairs, supply chain management and test manufacturing to benefit the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans.

“The entire Quidel Team has risen to the challenge of this pandemic,” Mr. Bryant added. “We were the first to develop and scale a rapid antigen test that democratized COVID-19 testing by providing affordable, highly accurate results in minutes at diverse points of care in tens of thousands of communities throughout the United States. As we enter both Q4 and flu season, Quidel is once again extending our innovation leadership with the first FDA-authorized ‘ABC’ rapid antigen test capable of detecting and distinguishing between Influenza A + B and COVID-19 from a single nasal swab in just 15 minutes. This real-time diagnostic tool will significantly enhance medical effectiveness in treating and containing the dangerous twin pandemic of COVID-19 and virulent flu.”

Gross Profit in the third quarter of 2020 increased to $383.6 million, driven by the demand for the new Sofia SARS Antigen and Lyra SARS-CoV-2 products. Increased spend, required to expedite the production ramp, was offset by higher absorption related to the increased production volumes. Gross margin improvement versus last year was due to the same factors. R&D expense increased by $9.5 million in the third quarter as compared to the same period last year, due primarily to increased spending on Savanna, Sofia instrument upgrade and next-generation instrument development projects. We also incurred incremental labor and material costs associated with COVID-19 product development. Sales and Marketing expense increased by $10.8 million in the quarter, due primarily to higher compensation costs driven by increased headcount and improved performance in the quarter, as well as bad debt expense. This was partially offset by reduced travel, meeting and trade show costs due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions. G&A expense increased by $4.3 million in the quarter due to higher compensation costs. Acquisition and integration costs of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 related to professional service fees, while the $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of global operation integration costs and evaluation of new business development opportunities.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $63.5 million, as compared with $1.3 million in the same quarter last year. The higher tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year is a result of higher pre-tax profits and lower proportional discrete tax benefits recorded in 2020 for excess tax benefits of stock-based compensation.

Net income for the third quarter was $232.3 million, or $5.33 per diluted share, as compared to a net income of $16.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $252.0 million, or $5.78 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $30.1 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019.

Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $852.5 million, versus $382.7 million for the same period in 2019. The 123% increase in sales was driven by greater Rapid Immunoassay and Molecular Diagnostics Solutions revenue associated with COVID-19, as well as a stronger flu season in the first quarter of 2020 versus the prior year. This was partially offset by lower Cardiometabolic Immunoassay revenue. Foreign exchange had a negative impact of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The majority of the foreign currency headwind impacted the Cardiometabolic Immunoassay business.

Rapid Immunoassay product revenue increased 305% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $513.6 million. This was led by a 468% growth in Sofia revenue to $472.3 million, while QuickVue sales decreased 4% from the same period of 2019 to $38.5 million. Cardiometabolic Immunoassay revenue totaled $172.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, representing a 14% decline from 2019. Molecular Diagnostic Solutions revenue increased $111.9 million to $126.5 million, led by $113.6 million in revenue growth from Lyra. Specialized Diagnostic Solutions revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $39.5 million, down 3% from prior year.

“As important as quarterly financial performance metrics are, I find the Quidel team is principally focused on the higher purpose of defeating this coronavirus and helping restore the economic well-being of our nation,” Mr. Bryant noted. “It is a spirit that continues to fill our pipeline with innovative new products that ultimately benefit the health and reopening of communities around the globe,” Mr. Bryant concluded.

Gross Profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $647.4 million, was driven by the demand for the new Sofia SARS Antigen, Lyra SARS-CoV-2 and influenza products, which drove improved product mix. In addition, higher production volumes contributed to increased manufacturing overhead absorption, which offset increases in spend. Gross margin improved compared to the same period in the prior year due to the same factors. R&D expense increased by $21.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period last year, due primarily to increased spending on Sofia, Savanna and next-generation instrument development projects. We also incurred higher labor, material and clinical trials spend associated with COVID-19 product development. Sales and Marketing expense increased by $12.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher employee-related costs, freight and bad debt expense, partially offset by reduced travel, meeting and trade show costs due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions. G&A expense increased by $8.0 million, primarily due to increased compensation costs from global expansion and improved performance in 2020. The increase was partially offset by lower professional service fees incurred in the period. Acquisition and integration costs of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily related to the evaluation of new business development opportunities. Acquisition and integration costs of $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of global operation integration costs.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $340.2 million, or $7.82 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $42.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $385.6 million, or $8.85 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $84.4 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company is providing non-GAAP financial information to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, non-cash interest expense, foreign exchange losses and certain non-recurring items on net income and earnings per share as a supplement to its consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP.

Management is providing the adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net earnings per share, and constant currency revenue information for the periods presented because it believes this enhances the comparison of the Company’s financial performance from period-to-period, and to that of its competitors. Constant currency revenue is calculated by translating current period revenues using prior period exchange rates, net of any hedging effect recognized in the current period. Constant currency revenue growth (expressed as a percentage) is calculated by determining the change in current period constant currency revenues over prior period revenues. This press release is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures is included in this press release as part of the attached financial tables.
