BETHLEHEM, Pa., May 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OraSure Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:OSUR), a market leader in oral fluid diagnostics, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2012.
Financial Highlights
Consolidated revenues were $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, a 20% increase from the comparable quarter of 2011. Revenues for the current quarter included $3.3 million in revenues from the Company's molecular diagnostic collection subsidiary, DNA Genotek Inc. ("DNAG"), acquired in August 2011.
Consolidated net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.3 million, or $0.07 per share, which compares to a net loss of $2.6 million, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of 2011.
"We are pleased to deliver first quarter financial results that are in line with expectations," said Douglas A. Michels, President and CEO of OraSure Technologies. "Our molecular collection systems business was an important contributor for the quarter and we are starting to see some positive impact on sales of our OraQuick® HCV test resulting from the CLIA waiver received in late 2011. We are also pleased that the FDA'sBlood Products Advisory Committee will consider our OraQuick® At-Home HIV test submission at its upcoming meeting on May 15."
Financial Results
Product revenues for the quarter increased 16% primarily as a result of the $3.3 million of molecular collection system sales and higher sales of the Company's cryosurgical systems products. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of the Company's infectious disease testing, substance abuse testing and insurance risk assessment products. Licensing and product development revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased by $842,000 primarily as a result of the receipt of a $1.0 million milestone payment received under the terms of the Company's HCV collaboration agreement with Merck. Licensing and product development revenues for the current quarter also reflect a decrease in royalties received under a Settlement and License Agreement with Merck related to the Company's cryosurgical patents.
Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 66% compared to 65% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gross margin in the current quarter was largely due to the benefit of the $1.0 million milestone payment, partially offset by an increase in product support costs and a decline in the absorption of labor costs when compared to the first quarter of 2011.
Consolidated operating expenses increased $3.6 million to $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $13.8 million in the comparable period of 2011. This increase reflects the inclusion of $3.1 million of DNAG operating expenses, increased sales and marketing spending associated with the preparation for commercialization of the Company's HIV-OTC product and increased consulting and staffing costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in spending on clinical trials related to the Company's OraQuick® HIV-OTC product.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $0.5 million associated with the DNAG loss before income taxes and certain Canadian research and development and investment tax credits.
Cash totaled $22.8 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $23.9 million at December 31, 2011. Working capital remained relatively flat at $30.8 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $30.9 million at December 31, 2011.
Second Quarter 2012 Outlook
The Company expects total consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2012 to range from $22.0 to $22.5 million and is projecting a consolidated net loss of approximately $0.09 - $0.10 per share for the second quarter of 2012.
