Varex Imaging Corporation VREX today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020.

3QFY20 Summary

  • Revenues were $171 million
  • GAAP gross margin was 15% | non-GAAP gross margin* was 26%
  • GAAP operating earnings margin was (15.7)% | non-GAAP operating earnings margin* was (0.7)%
  • GAAP net loss was ($0.73) per diluted share | non-GAAP net loss* was ($0.20) per diluted share

"During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the impact of COVID-19 resulted in declining sales and a sizeable unfavorable shift in product mix that reduced our revenues, margins and profitability. While sales of CT tubes and other radiographic products used in COVID-19 related diagnostic imaging applications increased significantly, total revenues declined 13% from the year ago quarter due to sales declines in other products, such as those for oncology, dental and industrial applications," said Sunny Sanyal, Chief Executive Officer of Varex.

In response to the decline in revenues and gross margin, Varex has taken a number of actions that are expected to reduce annual operating costs by more than $25 million, including:

  • Accelerating the previously announced closure of its Santa Clara facility, with most assembly operations shut down in June.
  • Discontinuing certain low margin, low demand products resulting in a $16 million pretax non-cash charge during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 for the write-down of associated inventory and restructuring activity.
  • Downsizing the workforce by eliminating 94 positions at the end of July, which when combined with other actions, is expected to result in an overall workforce reduction of about 10% in calendar year 2020.
  • Closely managing discretionary spending and capital expenditures.

"We believe that these and other actions, as well as a continued focus on pursuing productivity gains, will better position Varex when the imaging markets recover from the downturn caused by COVID-19," said Sanyal.

Additional financial information is provided in the unaudited financial statements attached to this press release.

Convertible Notes Offering

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Varex restructured its debt with an issuance of $200 million of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. Varex used the net proceeds to improve its liquidity position by increasing its cash balance and reducing Varex's debt under its current credit facility.

Fourth Quarter Outlook

Due to the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Varex previously withdrew its annual revenue and EPS guidance for the full fiscal year 2020. While management re-evaluates what guidance will be provided on an ongoing basis, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 Varex expects revenues to be in the range of $155 million to $170 million.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures derived from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These measures include: non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating earnings; non-GAAP operating earnings margin; non-GAAP net earnings; and non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share. We are providing a reconciliation above of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis due to the potential significant variability and limited visibility of the excluded items discussed.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, and forecasting and planning for future periods. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business by excluding unusual and one-time costs. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

Non-GAAP measures include the following items:

Amortization of intangible assets: We do not acquire businesses and assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition or purchase. We believe that excluding amortization of intangible assets allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Purchase price accounting charges to cost of revenues: We may incur charges to cost of revenues as a result of acquisitions. We believe that excluding these charges allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current cost of our products, our gross margin, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Separation and related costs: We separated from Varian Medical Systems on January 28, 2017 and incurred non-operational expenses associated with the separation. We believe that excluding separation costs allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Restructuring charges: We incur restructuring charges that result from events, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods.

Acquisition and integration related costs: We incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as transaction costs, changes in fair value of acquisition related hedges, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, gain or expense on settlement of pre-existing relationships, etc. We exclude such expenses or benefits as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of our on-going business. We also incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as integration costs relating to acquisitions for any costs incurred prior to closing and up to 12 months after the closing date of the acquisition.

Impairment charges: We may incur impairment charges that result from events, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business and such charges may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods.

Other non-operational costs: Certain items may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent and directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of Varex's ongoing business operations. These may include such items as non-ordinary course litigation, legal settlements, inventory write-downs for discontinued products, environmental settlements, governmental settlements including tax settlements and other items of similar nature.

Convertible notes non-cash interest expense: We issued convertible notes in June 2020 at a discount related to the conversion feature of the notes and capitalized certain costs related to the issuance of these notes. The discount and capitalized issuance costs are amortized into interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. The amortization recognized for the convertible notes will be greater than the cash interest payments for the notes. We believe that excluding the convertible notes non-cash interest expense allows the users of our financial statements to better understand the historic and current results of our operations. This also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Non-operational tax adjustments: Certain tax items may be non-recurring, unusual, infrequent and directly related to an event that is distinct and non-reflective of Varex's normal business operations, including the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017. These may include such items as the retroactive impact of significant changes in tax laws, including changes to statutory tax rates and one-time tax charges.

Tax effects of operating earnings adjustments: We apply our GAAP consolidated effective tax rate to our non-GAAP financial measures as our historical annual consolidated effective tax rate has remained fairly consistent and is expected to remain consistent for the foreseeable future. This application of our effective tax rate excludes any discrete items, as defined in the guidance for accounting for income taxes in interim periods, such as those related to tax reform or any other non-operational tax adjustments.
