Management Comments

"In the fourth quarter we delivered continued growth in our Life Sciences business, solid performance in our Semiconductor business, and one of our highest quarters in cash generation," commented Steve Schwartz, CEO of Brooks Automation. "We capped off a year in which all areas of the business provided growth and margin expansion. It was truly a transformative year for us as our team successfully completed the acquisition of GENEWIZ and closed the sale of the Semiconductor Cryogenics business. We have good momentum in Life Sciences revenue, strong bookings in the Semiconductor Solutions business, and a solid balance sheet that supports additional investments. We have set the stage for a strong 2020 fiscal year."

Summary of GAAP Results

Fourth Quarter, Fiscal 2019

Revenue of $200 million was up 25% year over year, driven by the Life Sciences segment growth of 85% and slightly offset by a decline of 3% in Semiconductor Solutions. Sequentially, quarterly revenue declined 2% driven by lower Semiconductor Solutions revenue which was down 9%, offset by Life Sciences revenue, up 7% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
Life Sciences revenue of $94 million grew 85% year over year, inclusive of 10% organic growth, all attributable to Sample Management. GENEWIZ, acquired in November of 2018, contributed $40 million of revenue in the fourth quarter.
Semiconductor Solutions revenue of $106 million was down 3% year over year, yet stable relative to the overall semiconductor capital equipment market.
GAAP diluted EPS was $5.69 compared to $0.15 in the fourth quarter of 2018. Discontinued operations provided $5.61 earnings per share supported by a $409 million gain on the sale of the Semiconductor Cryogenics business. Continuing operations yielded $0.08 in the quarter compared to ($0.02) in the fourth quarter a year ago.
GAAP operating income was $11 million, compared to $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Net interest expense for the fourth fiscal quarter was $0.3 million, down from $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 and down from $7.9 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2019, as a result of the reduction of $495 million of debt on July 1, 2019. The divestiture generated $662 million of cash in the quarter.
Cash flow from operations was $33 million in the quarter, inclusive of $13 million of transaction fees paid, stemming from the closure of the Cryogenics sale. Excluding these one-time cash outflows, our operating cash flow was $46 million. The ending balance of total debt was $51 million and the balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities was $342 million.

Full Year, Fiscal 2019

Revenue for fiscal 2019 was $782 million, an increase of 24% compared to fiscal 2018. Growth was supported by both segments. Life Sciences revenue of $334 million was 70% higher than fiscal 2018, inclusive of 8% organic growth. Semiconductor revenue was $448 million was an increase of 3% over the prior year.
GAAP diluted EPS was $6.05 compared to $1.64 in fiscal 2018. Discontinued operations provided $5.91 primarily from the $409 million gain on the sale of the Semiconductor Cryogenics business. Continuing operations provided $0.14 compared to $0.95 in fiscal 2018, which included a tax benefit of $43 million for the reversal of a valuation allowance reserve. Fiscal year 2019 results included $11 million of additional amortization of intangibles driven by the acquisition of GENEWIZ and $14 million in charges for the extinguishment of debt.
GAAP operating income was $47 million, an increase of 48% compared to fiscal 2018.
Cash flow from operations was $91 million, a 23% increase compared to $74 million in fiscal 2018. Excluding transaction fees paid upon the closure of the Cryogenics sale, cash flow from operations was $104 million, a 41% increase from 2018.

Summary of Non-GAAP Results for Continuing Operations

Fourth Quarter, Fiscal 2019

Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations for the quarter was $0.24, a 43% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.
Non-GAAP operating margin was 10.8%, higher by 140 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The improvement was driven by non-GAAP gross margin performance, which was 41.8% and 160 basis points higher year over year, driven by Life Sciences adjusted gross margin of 42.6% which was higher by 480 basis points year over year. The improvement reflects 220 basis points improvement in Sample Management operations and the favorable mix of adding GENEWIZ to the business. Operating expense increased 26% year over year, consistent with revenue and reflecting the incremental structure of GENEWIZ and an increase in Semiconductor R&D spending.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter increased 39% year over year to $31 million, up from $22 million in the prior year quarter. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 15.7% from 14.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

Full Year, Fiscal 2019

Non-GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations for 2019 was $0.77, a 20% increase compared to $0.64 in 2018. The increase reflects the 24% revenue growth and improvement in operating margin of 130 basis points, partially offset by higher interest expense.
Operating income was $91 million, a 39% increase from 2018. The increase was supported by non-GAAP gross margins of 41.9%, which improved 190 basis points compared to 2018. Life Sciences gross margins were 42.4%, up 440 basis points from last year driven by the inclusion of GENEWIZ results and 40 basis points of improvement in Sample Management. The Semiconductor Solutions business gross margin improved 60 basis points from last year to 41.5%.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measures follows the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows included in this release.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

These financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management adjusted the GAAP results for the impact of amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, purchase price accounting adjustments and charges related to M&A to provide investors better perspective on the results of operations which the Company believes is more comparable to the similar analysis provided by its peers. Management also excludes special charges and gains, such as impairment losses, gains and losses from the sale of assets, as well as other gains and charges that are not representative of the normal operations of the business. In this context, the Company has also removed the effect of reversing the valuation allowance reserve on the U.S. deferred income tax assets. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure.
