Revenue increased 6.2% to $302.2 million

Net income was $36.7 million, or $2.59 per diluted share, excluding gain on sales of assets

Operating cash flow totaled $64.5 million

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Jan. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq:ICUI), a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of innovative medical devices used in infusion therapy, oncology and critical care applications, announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Fourth quarter of 2011 revenue increased to $76.5 million, compared to $75.6 million in the same period last year. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $17.8 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $10.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter of 2011 net income included a $12.6 million pre-tax gain, which included $1.6 million of selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses related to the sale of the Orbit product line, the Company's diabetes infusion set business. Excluding the gain, related SG&A expenses and the related income tax expense, net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $9.8 million, or $0.70 per diluted share.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, revenue increased 6.2% to $302.2 million, compared to $284.6 million in the same period last year. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 was $44.7 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $30.9 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Excluding the gain on sale of assets, related SG&A expenses and the related income tax expense, net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, was $36.7 million, or $2.59 per diluted share.

Scott Lamb, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer, said, "During the fourth quarter, we continued to expand the ICU Medical brand in all of our target markets. We also strengthened relationships with our partners and increased investments in research and development initiatives. 2011 represents another year of record sales and profitability, validating robust demand for our products worldwide."

Mr. Lamb added, "In 2011, our top line performance was driven by double-digit increases in sales of CLAVEs as well as oncology and TEGO products. Our international sales were up 14%, while domestic sales grew 4% year over year. Annual gross margins expanded 122 basis points to 47.1%."

"Entering the new fiscal year, we believe that our diverse product offering, commitment to innovation and solid balance sheet position us well for growth in 2012 and beyond. We look forward to capitalizing on new market opportunities through our manufacturing plant strategically built in Slovakia and delivering high quality products to our customers worldwide," concluded Mr. Lamb.

Revenues by market segment for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

(dollars in millions)
Market Segment 2011 2010 Change
Infusion Therapy $ 198.9 $ 188.8 $ 10.1

Other  $ 17.5  $ 13.0  $ 4.5

The Company ended the fourth quarter with a healthy balance sheet. As of December 31, 2011, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $160.0 million and working capital was $233.7 million. Additionally, the Company generated operating cash flow of $64.5 million for the fiscal year of 2011.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our fourth quarter and fiscal year results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we have provided additional measures of related SG&A expenses, gain on sale of assets, income from operations, provision for income taxes, net income and diluted net income per share to exclude certain gains and expenses, in connection with the related SG&A expenses, gain and related income tax expense resulting from our sale of assets related to our diabetes infusion set business. We discuss these non-GAAP measures because we believe these metrics provide additional insight into underlying operating results and prospects for the future, allowing investors to assess certain business trends in the same way that these trends are utilized by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, is as follows:

Reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP SG&A expenses Q4 2011 2011
Non-GAAP SG&A expenses  $ 20.7  $ 83.7
