IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), a global leader in veterinary diagnostics, veterinary practice software and water microbiology testing, today announced first quarter results and business updates related to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on market conditions.

First Quarter Results

The Company reports revenues of $626 million for the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 9% on a reported and organic basis. First quarter results were driven by CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 10% reported and organic, supported by double-digit organic gains in both U.S. and International markets. Results were also supported by strong reported and organic revenue gains in the Company's Water and Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD") businesses, aided in part by an estimated $5 million in accelerated stocking orders in these businesses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") was $1.29 for the first quarter, reflecting benefits from strong CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue gains and controlled operating expense growth, which supported relatively flat operating margins on a reported basis compared to prior year levels and 30 basis points of improvement on a constant currency basis.

"We are pleased to report excellent first quarter financial results, supported by continued double-digit organic gains in CAG Diagnostics recurring revenues, despite late-quarter impacts from the expansion of COVID-19-related stay-at-home policies and social distancing procedures. These results reflect continued strong underlying demand globally for companion animal healthcare," said Jay Mazelsky, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have seen near-term impacts on veterinary practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic and have been closely monitoring the effect of social distancing policies and industry care guidelines on our customers. IDEXX has continued to provide high levels of service delivery and product support for its customers during this time, while advancing key steps to protect the safety and health of its employees, ensure business continuity and mitigate the near-term impacts on demand for IDEXX products and services. The pet-owner bond is stronger than ever, and IDEXX's strategy, opportunity and fundamentals remain intact, supported by our innovative product portfolio and talented global team. We are very well-positioned for a strong recovery in the highly attractive and resilient companion animal healthcare market. I am extremely proud of the way our team is working together to respond during this time and thank them for their extraordinary commitment to our Purpose."

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

The primary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been seen in IDEXX's CAG business. While veterinary care is widely recognized as an "essential" service for pet owners, and veterinarians continue to deliver essential medical care for sick and injured pets, stay-at-home and social distancing policies being deployed to combat the spread of COVID-19, and prioritization of sick and emergency testing at veterinary clinics, have resulted in a decrease in companion animal clinical visits, including delay of elective procedures and wellness visits.

As an example, tracking of weekly U.S. companion animal practice data, available in the Q1 2020 Earnings Snapshot accessible on the IDEXX website, www.idexx.com/investors, indicates year-over-year declines of 15% - 30% in per practice clinical visits from the week ended March 27, 2020 through the week ended April 24, 2020, with lower levels of decline in non-wellness visits and higher levels of decline in wellness visits. These types of trends have contributed to year-over-year declines in demand for IDEXX's products and services during this period, with varying impacts by region and diagnostic testing modality. These impacts are dynamic, and we have seen meaningful improvement in clinical visit and diagnostic testing trends over the most recent two-week period ended April 24, driven by U.S. and International regions where COVID-19 case management efforts have progressed further and where stay-at-home and social distancing policies have been moderated.

Protecting Employee Health and Safety

In an effort to protect the health and safety of our workforce and their families and communities, the majority of IDEXX employees have been enabled to work remotely during this time. The Company has also implemented other measures, such as restricting travel where possible, to protect the health and safety of our customers, their patients and our employees.

Maintaining Operations and Customer Service

Major IDEXX operations, such as global manufacturing, distribution and our network of reference laboratories, are operating efficiently under enhanced health and safety precautionary measures, and the Company is continuing to serve its customers globally. For Company employees involved in these essential operations, we have implemented recommended best practices to protect the health and safety of our workforce.

Operating Cost and Liquidity Management

The Company has taken proactive steps to prudently control costs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, while ensuring the Company is well-positioned for a recovery in market conditions. We have advanced actions to reduce quarterly operating expenses by approximately $25 million compared to original plan levels. These actions include the temporary reduction of the salaries of our chief executive officer by 30%, officers and senior executives by 20% and the majority of other salaried employees by 10%, which we intend to stop as market conditions improve, as well as the suspension of cash compensation for IDEXX's Board of Directors. These savings will mitigate near-term financial impacts from potential revenue declines related to COVID-19 stay-at-home policies and social distancing procedures, which we estimate will flow through at high incremental gross margin rates associated with CAG Diagnostics recurring revenues.

The Company is confident in its working capital and liquidity levels, supported by its high-return recurring revenue business model with relatively low capital intensity. In April, the Company further enhanced its liquidity and financial flexibility by issuing $200 million in 10-year, 2.5% fixed-rate financing and securing an expanded $1 billion credit facility extended through 2023. We also have suspended share repurchase activity.

Product Updates

In April, the Company made IDEXX SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RealPCR(TM) Test for pets available to veterinarians in response to customer demand and growing evidence that in rare cases pets living with COVID-19 positive humans can be at risk for infection.

The Company's human health business, OPTI Medical Systems, has advanced efforts in supporting human COVID-19 testing with the development of a PCR test kit, enabled by IDEXX's expertise in livestock PCR test development and manufacturing. OPTI Medical Systems has applied for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for OPTI SARS-CoV-2 RNA RT-PCR laboratory test kit for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The test kit provides results in approximately 2 to 3.5 hours following RNA extraction and has been validated on commonly available PCR instruments and extraction methods.

First Quarter Performance Highlights

Companion Animal Group

The Companion Animal Group generated 8% reported and 9% organic revenue growth for the quarter, supported by CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 10% on a reported and organic basis. Global CAG Diagnostics recurring revenues were trending above our full year goals for 11% to 12% organic growth through early March, with overall first quarter CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue gains constrained by late quarter impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including stay-at-home policies, social distancing procedures and changes to industry guidelines to emphasize sick patient and emergency procedures, which reduced clinical visits to veterinary practices and related diagnostic testing volumes. While IDEXX's premium instrument installed base expanded 15% compared to prior year first quarter installed base levels and instrument placement trends were very strong through early March, restrictions on access to veterinary practices also constrained instrument placements late in the first quarter, contributing to declines in reported instrument revenues.

    --  IDEXX VetLab(®) consumables generated 13% reported and 14% organic
        revenue growth, supported by ongoing expansion of our global premium
        instrument installed base, continued strong customer retention,
        increases in testing utilization and moderate net price gains.
    --  Reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services generated 9%
        reported and 8% organic revenue growth, supported by volume gains with
        existing customers, moderate net price realization and benefits from net
        customer additions.
    --  Rapid assay products generated reported and organic revenue growth of
        6%, supported by volume gains across our SNAP(® )portfolio of products,
        including SNAP 4Dx(®) Plus Test, high customer retention rates and
        moderate net price gains.

Veterinary software, services and diagnostic imaging systems revenue grew 11% on a reported and organic basis, driven by growth in subscription-based service revenues, supported by continued expansion of our practice management platforms.

Water

Water achieved revenue growth of 13% on a reported basis and 15% on an organic basis in the first quarter, including over $2 million or 8% of year-over-year estimated revenue growth benefit related to timing of orders, including accelerated customer stocking orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD")

LPD generated revenue growth of 8% on a reported basis and 12% on an organic basis for the first quarter, including approximately $3 million or 9% of year-over-year estimated revenue growth benefit related to timing of orders, including accelerated customer stocking orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These results also reflect benefits from increases in African Swine Fever diagnostic testing programs in Asia and poultry testing. These gains were constrained by lower herd health screening levels, compared to strong prior year results.

Gross Profit and Operating Profit

Gross profits increased 8% on a reported basis and 10% on a constant currency basis. Gross margin of 57.4% was down slightly compared to prior year period results on a reported basis and was flat compared to prior year period levels on a constant currency basis. Gross margin results reflected favorable mix from strong consumable revenue growth, high Water revenue growth and lower CAG Diagnostics instrument revenues, as well as benefits from moderate net price gains. These favorable factors were offset by relatively lower reference lab margins associated with pressure on reference laboratory revenues late in the quarter related to COVID-19 stay-at-home and social distancing policies, as well as increased reference lab capacity investments advanced in 2019 and effects from the integration of the Marshfield acquisition.

Operating margin was 23.0% in the quarter, 10 basis points lower than the prior year period results on a reported basis and 30 basis points higher on a constant currency basis, supported by operating expense leverage on high revenue growth. Operating expenses increased 9% on a reported and constant currency basis, driven by increases in our CAG segment's sales and marketing costs and higher general and administrative costs.

2020 Financial Outlook

The Company is withdrawing its previously announced full year 2020 guidance due to the unpredictability of the duration and the magnitude of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on veterinary service providers.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following defines terms and conventions and provides reconciliations regarding certain measures used in this earnings release and/or the accompanying earnings conference call that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), otherwise referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. To supplement the Company's consolidated results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors' evaluation of the Company's business performance and liquidity and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company's business and its liquidity and to the performance and liquidity of our peers. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Constant currency - Constant currency references are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are consistent with how management evaluates our performance and comparisons with prior and future periods. We estimated the net impacts of currency on our revenue, gross profit, operating profit, and EPS results by restating results to the average exchange rates or exchange rate assumptions for the comparative period, which includes adjusting for the estimated impacts of foreign currency hedging transactions and certain impacts on our effective tax rates. These estimated currency changes impacted first quarter 2020 results as follows: decreased gross profit growth by approximately 1.5%, decreased gross profit margin growth by 20 basis points, had an immaterial impact on operating expense growth, decreased operating profit growth by 3%, decreased operating profit margin growth by 40 basis points, and decreased EPS growth by 4%. Constant currency revenue growth represents the percentage change in revenue during the applicable period, as compared to the prior year period, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See the supplementary analysis of results below for revenue percentage change from currency for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Growth and organic revenue growth - All references to growth and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent prior year period unless specifically noted. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and revenue from certain business acquisitions. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The percentage change in revenue resulting from acquisitions represents incremental revenues attributable to business acquisitions that have occurred since the beginning of the prior year period. We exclude only acquisitions that are considered to be a business from organic revenue growth. For more detail on what acquisitions we consider to be a business in computing organic growth, please see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, Non-GAAP Financial Measures, contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Comparable constant currency EPS growth - Comparable constant currency EPS growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the tax benefits of share-based compensation activity under ASU 2016-09. Management believes comparable constant currency EPS growth is a more useful way to measure the Company's business performance than EPS growth because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding a key metric used by management. Share-based compensation tax benefits increased first quarter 2020 EPS by $0.08 per share compared to $0.06 per share in the first quarter of 2019. These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported EPS growth to comparable constant currency EPS growth for the first quarter of 2020.

Free cash flow - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, reduced by the Company's investments in property and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property and equipment that are required to operate the business. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Leverage Ratios) - Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring transaction expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, share-based compensation expense, and certain other non-cash losses and charges. Management believes that reporting Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt and net debt in the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios provides supplemental analysis to help investors further evaluate the Company's business performance and available borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility. For further information on how Adjusted EBITDA and the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios are calculated, see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

                  (1) Effective January 1, 2020, we modified our management reporting to the Chief Operating Decision Maker to provide a more comprehensive view of the performance of our operating segments by including
                   costs that were previously not allocated to our segments. Prior to January 1, 2020, certain costs were not allocated to our operating segments and were instead reported under the caption "Unallocated
                   Amounts". These costs included costs primarily consisting of our R&D function, regional or country expenses and unusual items. Corporate support function costs (such as information technology, facilities,
                   human resources, finance and legal), health benefits and incentive compensation were charged to our business segments at pre-determined budgeted amounts or rates. Beginning January 1, 2020, the segments
                   will reflect these actual costs allocated to the segment based on various allocation methods, including revenue and headcount. Foreign exchange losses on settlements of foreign currency denominated
                   transactions are not allocated to our operating segments and are instead reported under our Other reporting segment.
