Financial Guidance for 2022

Our financial guidance for the fiscal year 2022 is based on expectations for our existing business and includes the financial impact of our 2021 acquisitions of BioFlex Solutions (which closed on December 16, 2021), Avitide Inc. (which closed on September 20, 2021) and Polymem S.A. (which closed on July 1, 2021).   The guidance below excludes the impact of potential additional acquisitions and future fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. 

FISCAL YEAR 2022 GUIDANCE:

• Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $790-$810 million, an increase from our previous guidance of $770-$800 million. Our updated guidance reflects increased projected demand for our base business products, slightly offset by slower projected COVID-related revenue. We are now guiding to overall revenue growth of 18-21% as reported, 22%-25% at constant currency, and organic growth of 19%-22%.
  • Our base business revenue, which excludes COVID-related revenue and inorganic acquisition revenue from 2021 acquisitions, is expected to grow by 31%-33%, an increase from our previous guidance of 24%-31%.
• Gross margin is expected to be 57.5%-58.5% on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, an increase from our previous guidance of 57%-58%.
• Income from operations is expected to be in the range of $200-205 million on a GAAP basis. Adjusted (non-GAAP) income from operations is expected to be in the range of $234-$239 million, an increase from our previous guidance of $225-$231 million.
• Net income is expected to be in the range of $152-$156 million on a GAAP basis. Adjusted (non-GAAP) net income is expected to be in the range of $180-$184 million, an increase from our previous guidance of $177-$182 million. Our current guidance reflects a tax rate of 21% on adjusted pre-tax income, consistent with our previous guidance.
• Fully diluted GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.64-$2.71. Adjusted (non-GAAP) fully diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $3.13-$3.20, an increase from our previous guidance of $3.07-$3.15.

Our non-GAAP guidance for the fiscal year 2022 excludes the following items:  

• $12.3 million estimated acquisition and integration expenses; $1.2 million in cost of product revenue, $0.7 million in R&D and $10.4 million in SG&A.
• $26.3 million estimated intangible amortization expense in SG&A.
• $1.8 million of amortization of debt issuance (Other income (expense)).
• $4.3 million estimated contingent consideration expense, primarily related to estimated time value of money impacts from our 2021 Avitide acquisition.

Our non-GAAP guidance for the fiscal year 2022 includes:

• An income tax increase of $7.8 million, representing the tax impact on acquisition and integration costs, intangible amortization and contingent consideration expense, and amortization of debt issuance costs.
  

All reconciliations of GAAP to adjusted (non-GAAP) guidance are detailed in the tables included later in this press release.

N on-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release: revenue growth rate at constant currency; adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin; adjusted income from operations; adjusted operating income and adjusted net income; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income; adjusted net income per share - diluted; adjusted fully diluted earnings per share; adjusted cost of sales; adjusted R&D expense; and adjusted SG&A expense. The Company provides organic revenue growth rates in constant currency to exclude the impact of both foreign currency translation and the impact of acquisition revenue for current year periods that have no prior year comparable in order to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance to its past revenue performance. The Company provides revenue growth rates in constant currency in order to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance to its past revenue performance. To calculate revenue growth rates in constant currency, the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial results and/or non-GAAP guidance exclude the impact of: acquisition-related inventory step-up costs, acquisition and integration costs, intangible amortization costs, contingent consideration expenses related to the Company’s acquisitions, amortization of debt issuance costs related to Company’s convertible debt, non-cash interest expense, loss on conversion of debt, and the related impact on tax of non-GAAP charges. These costs are excluded because management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded.

A reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP financial measures is included as an attachment to this press release. When analyzing the Company’s operating performance and guidance investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as substitutable for the comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
