MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Fourth Quarter FY2023 Highlights

• Fourth quarter organic revenue increased by 5% (5% reported) to $301.3 million. Full year organic revenue increased 5% (3% reported) to $1.1 billion.

• GAAP earnings per share¹⁾ (EPS) was $0.47 versus $0.38 one year ago. Delivered adjusted EPS¹⁾ of $0.55 compared to $0.51 one year ago. Full year GAAP EPS was $1.76 versus $1.66 one year ago. Full year adjusted EPS was $1.99 versus $1.97 one year ago.

• Strong commercial execution in Diagnostics and Genomics led to 10% organic segment growth (10% reported) in the fourth quarter and 8% organic segment growth (6% reported) for fiscal year 2023.

• Our ExoDx prostate test and GMP proteins strategic growth platforms continued to deliver record performance with fourth quarter revenue growth of 68% and 58% and fiscal year 2023 revenue growth of 92% and 30%, respectively.

• Enhanced Bio-Techne's leading spatial biology franchise with the acquisition of Lunaphore whose fully automated, high-throughput COMET™ instrument enables the identification of spatial biomarkers in tumors and other tissues at single-cell and subcellular resolution.

¹⁾On November 29, 2022, the company executed a four-for-one split of Bio-Techne's common stock in the form of a stock dividend to all shareholders of record on November 14, 2022. All references made to share or per share amounts in this press release have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split.

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted net earnings, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted tax rate, organic growth, adjusted operating margin, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items detailed later in this press release under the heading "Use of non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures." A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included in this press release.

"We finished fiscal 2023 largely in-line with our expectations, as the Bio-Techne team continued to successfully grow on top of high year-over-year comparisons and navigate dynamic end market conditions that included a lower biotech funding environment and soft macro-economic conditions in China," said Chuck Kummeth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Techne. "We delivered these results with a continued focus on operational efficiencies, leading to an adjusted operating margin of 37.1%."

Kummeth continued, "We finalized the acquisition of Lunaphore, which closed on July 7, adding the fully automated, high throughput COMET™  instrument to our portfolio of spatial biology solutions. The combination of Lunaphore and Bio-Techne will enable the first fully automated spatial multiomic solution capable of same-slide detection of protein and RNA biomarkers. This novel solution positions Bio-Techne to further its leadership position in the nascent and high growth spatial biology market."

Kummeth concluded, "In fiscal 2023, we demonstrated the strength of our portfolio to grow in even the most challenging of times, which this year included very high comps from the prior year, lower biotech funding, customer de-stocking, and unprecedented China economic malaise… all largely due to the "COVID hangover".  Our differentiated platforms in Cell & Gene Therapy, Liquid Biopsy, Spatial Biology, and Analytical Instruments finished the year with double-digit growth and it will be these platforms that carry our company back to overall double-digit growth as the markets normalize."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023

Revenue

Net sales for the fourth quarter increased 5% to $301.3 million. Organic growth was 5% compared to the prior year with foreign currency exchange and acquisitions having an immaterial impact.

Adjusted EPS increased to $0.55 per diluted share compared to $0.51 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 5% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating income growth was driven by organic revenue growth. Adjusted operating margin was 37.1%, compared to 37.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted operating margin decreased from the prior year primarily due to the acquisition of Namocell this year.

GAAP Earnings Results

GAAP EPS was $1.76 per diluted share compared to $1.66 last fiscal year.

Segment Results

Management uses adjusted operating results to monitor and evaluate performance of the Company's business segments, as highlighted below.

Protein Sciences Segment

The Company's Protein Sciences segment is one of the world's leading suppliers of specialized proteins such as cytokines and growth factors, immunoassays, antibodies and reagents, to the biotechnology and academic research communities. Additionally, the segment provides an array of platforms useful in various areas of protein analysis. Protein Sciences segment's fourth quarter fiscal 2023 net sales were $223.0 million, an increase of 3% from $217.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Organic growth for the segment was 4%, with foreign currency exchange having an unfavorable impact of 1% and acquisitions having an immaterial impact. Protein Sciences segment's operating margin was 44.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 44.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The segment's operating margin compared to the prior year was negatively impacted by acquisitions.

Protein Sciences segment's full year fiscal 2023 net sales were $845.7 million, an increase of 2% from $832.3 million for fiscal 2022. Organic growth for the segment was 4% for the fiscal year, with foreign currency exchange having an unfavorable 2% impact on revenue and acquisitions having an immaterial impact.

Protein Sciences segment's operating margin was 44.2% in fiscal 2023 compared to 45.4% in fiscal 2022. Segment operating margin compared to the prior year was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency exchange and strategic growth investments including the Namocell acquisition.

Diagnostics and Genomics Segment

The Company's Diagnostics and Genomics segment provides blood chemistry and blood gas quality controls, hematology instrument controls, immunoassays and other bulk and custom reagents for the in vitro diagnostic market. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment also develops and provides spatial biology products as well as exosome-based diagnostics for various pathologies, including prostate cancer. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's fourth quarter fiscal 2023 net sales were $79.0 million, an increase of 10% from $71.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Organic revenue for the segment increased by 10% from the prior year, with foreign exchange having an immaterial impact. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's operating margin was 18.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 15.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The segment's operating margin increased primarily due to volume leverage.

The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's full year fiscal 2023 net sales were $292.6 million, an increase of 6% from $274.8 million for fiscal 2022. Organic growth for the segment was 8% with foreign currency exchange having an unfavorable impact of 2% on revenue growth. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's operating margin was 14.7% in fiscal 2023 compared to 17.8% in fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2023 operating margin was unfavorably impacted due to the prior year revenue related to the ExoTru kidney transplant rejection agreement as well as strategic investments to drive future revenue growth, which was partially offset by volume leverage.

Use of non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures:

This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include:

• Organic growth

• Adjusted diluted earnings per share

• Adjusted net earnings

• Adjusted tax rate

• Adjusted gross margin

• Adjusted operating income

• Adjusted operating margin

• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)

• Adjusted EBITDA

We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.

Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic growth represents revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months, the impact of foreign currency, as well as the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Excluding these measures provides more useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which can vary significantly from period to period, and revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period. Revenues from partially-owned subsidiaries consolidated in our financial statements are also excluded from our organic revenue calculation, as those revenues are not fully attributable to the Company. There was no revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 due to the sale of Changzhou Eminence Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Eminence) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries was $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, exclude stock-based compensation, the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, acquisition related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including non-recurring costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and gains. Stock-based compensation is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted net earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjection assumptions, variety of award types, and unpredictability of amount and timing of employer related tax obligations. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory and acquisition-related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including gains or losses on legal settlements, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and one-time assessments from this measure because they occur as a result of specific events, and are not reflective of our internal investments, the costs of developing, producing, supporting and selling our products, and the other ongoing costs to support our operating structure. Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity. The Company also excludes revenue and expense attributable to partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures as the revenues and expenses are not fully attributable to the Company.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes stock-based compensation expense, which is inclusive of the employer portion of payroll taxes on those stock awards, restructuring, gain and losses from investments, as they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions (excluding our equity method investment in Wilson Wolf as it is certain to be acquired in the future) and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Additionally, gains and losses from investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded.

Costs related to restructuring activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate to be applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments considering the impact of discrete items on these adjustments and the jurisdictional mix of the adjustments. In addition, the tax impact of other discrete and non-recurring charges which impact our reported GAAP tax rate are adjusted from net earnings. We believe these tax items can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements attached to this press release.

Net earnings attributable to Bio-Techne excludes non-controlling interest of approximately 43% of the GAAP net earnings or loss for Eminence. To prevent double-counting the non-controlling interest component within our Adjusted EBITDA calculation, the amount accounts for both the non-controlling interest within the GAAP metric and the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries within our Non-GAAP adjusted consolidated net earnings table.
