Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Highlights
- Record quarterly and annual revenue growth.
- North America POC Lab Consumables sales up 15.5% in Q4. Up 11.2% year-over-year, ahead of 2020 Outlook (8%-10%).
- Full year number of subscriptions up 25%. Key subscription metrics outpaced Company expectations.
- Year over year, North America sales rose 29.3% at 47.5% gross margin in the fourth quarter and 13.6% at 46.5% gross margin for the full year (+120 bps compared to prior year). As anticipated, consolidated gross margin was impacted by acquired lower margin in the International segment, which Heska continues to see as an opportunity. International sales and gross margin exceeded Company targets.
- Key projects have advanced in-line with previously communicated schedules for commercial release throughout 2021, including Element AIM, Element RCX, Element RC3X, Element i+, Element COAG+, and Heska's new digital cytology specialist services.
Kevin Wilson, Heska's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "I am so proud of what our teams have accomplished in a very short time. Heska has doubled our geography and customer base, doubled our addressable products and revenue streams, moved to the top of the innovation-value chain, strengthened every aspect of our capability, and created substantial enterprise value and optionality, all while delivering great current period results and balance sheet strength. We are a fully transformed company ready to capture outsized growth in the most exciting area (diagnostics) of pet healthcare, which is itself a market in a broad and multi-decades growth period. Heska finished 2020 with record quarterly and full year sales driven by the 'right' factors, including wins in subscriptions and market share, POC Lab Consumables, and International integration and execution. We saw healthy growth driven by healthy end markets that continue to need more of what Heska has unique capability to offer, all of which forms a great foundation to continue to upscale revenue and profitability in this second half of our Act Two plan. Our teams are ready, our position is the best in our history, our products and services are launching, and our customers and end markets are healthy. With these things in mind, even though we continue to expect intense response from very strong competitors, we are increasing our 2021 Outlook for sales and forecasting robust growth in subscriptions and consumables. This year (and next) is going to be fun."

POC Lab Diagnostics Subscriptions. Heska outperformed key 2020 Outlook subscription metrics, delivering: (1) Active Subscriptions to 2,980 (+25%), (2) Months Under Subscription to 124,695 (+24%), and (3) Minimum CSV to $131.4 million (+29%). These results affirm end market demand, health in Heska's install base and retention, positive new analyzer adoption and mix, above target success with high volume hospitals, healthy pricing, and confidence in accounts to increase utilization commitments for Heska diagnostics products over long time periods.
POC Lab Diagnostics Subscriptions 2021 Outlook.

Regarding International subscriptions in 2021, Heska made a similar effort in North America in 2013-2015. Today in International, Heska has much better infrastructure, teams, products, installed base, market share, market opportunity, and margins, all of which are now more supportive than in the 2013 campaign, leading us to forecast faster International subscriptions growth than our historical North America in 2013-2015 actuals. Subscriptions 2021 International Outlook is: (1) Active Subscriptions to 835 (+149%), (2) Months Under Subscription to 36,000 (+131%), and Minimum CSV to $24.1 million (132%).

Note: Numbers may not foot due to rounding. |
Profitability
Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter and full year of 2020 were $25.9 million and $89.5 million, respectively, compared to $15.1 million and $54.1 million in the fourth quarter and full year of 2019, respectively. The increase is driven primarily by the impact related to the consolidation of our acquisitions' operations, one-time acquisition related costs, increased depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of purchase accounting adjustments, and higher stock-based compensation expense.
Net income and diluted EPS for the fourth quarter were impacted by an immaterial out of period error (credit) recorded during the fourth quarter of $2.5 million relating to non-cash interest expense and an income tax benefit as compared to the prior year fourth quarter. Net Income and diluted EPS for the full year of 2020 were impacted by transaction costs, interest associated with convertible debt, and other expenses relating primarily to the acquisition of scil. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was positively impacted by acquisitions and leveraged operating costs.
Liquidity
We continue to demonstrate a strong liquidity position with cash of $86.3 million.
2021 Outlook
The table below introduces fiscal year 2021 guidance ("2021 Outlook") for revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin:
2021 Outlook | |
Consolidated Revenue | $225-$235 million |
POC Lab Revenue | $135-$145 million |
POC Imaging Revenue | $50-$60 million |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 | ~8% |
Dollars in millions. 2021 Outlook are forward looking statements. Foreign currency exchange rate assumptions for 2021 are (in U.S. dollars): Euro $1.14 and Canadian dollar $0.75 |
1 Excludes estimates for taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, purchase accounting, acquisition and other one-time costs, and stock-based compensation. Heska is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure to the corresponding GAAP measure on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the high variability and low visibility of most of the excluded items. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant impact on future GAAP results. Heska believes the non-GAAP presentation is more in-line with future ongoing operating performance. |
- We anticipate approximately 60%-65% of full year 2021 Outlook consolidated revenue to come from the North America segment, which includes an estimated POC Lab Consumable growth rate of more than 10%. Revenue from PVD and OVP are expected to remain relatively consistent with 2020 reported results.
- The remaining 40%-45% of full year 2021 Outlook consolidated revenue to come from our International segment, which includes an estimated POC Lab Consumable growth rate of more than 35%.
Commitment to Corporate Responsibility and Stewardship
Heska is committed to corporate responsibility and stewardship. Driven by oversight from Heska's Board of Directors and executive leadership, we are promoting and engaging environmental, social and governance ("ESG") priorities throughout the organization to align activities and resources with sound practices and accountability. In so doing, we will build upon our strengths, hold ourselves to high standards, engage with our stakeholders, foster a culture that values and benefits from diversity and inclusion, enhance sustainability in our products, facilities and operations, and contribute to the communities we serve. Over the coming quarters, we will develop the necessary framework, roadmap and objectives to advance our progress in this area.

All of the statements in this document, other than historical facts, are forward-looking statements and are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate and cause actual results to materially deviate from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this document include, among other things, statements with respect to Heska's future financial and operating results, future sales and growth rates, sales split percentages, sales geography percentages, market share, and strategic goals, the anticipated benefits of the scil acquisition; anticipated investments and growth; and the number of customers that the Company will be able to acquire and retain. Such statements are based on current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the scil acquisition; supplier availability, competing suppliers, any product's ability to perform and be recognized as anticipated, in particular when such product is under development; Heska's ability to sell and market its products in an economically sustainable fashion, including related to varying customs, cultures, languages and sales cycles and uncertainties with foreign political and economic climates; the Company's ability to integrate the acquired scil business within its existing operations; and new product development and release schedules.
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others, risks and uncertainties related to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer demand, our global supply chain and our financial and operational results; the success of third parties in marketing our products; outside business interests of our Chief Executive Officer; our reliance on third party suppliers and collaborative partners; our dependence on key personnel; our dependence upon a number of significant customers; competitive conditions in our industry; our ability to market and sell our products successfully; expansion of our international operations; the impact of regulation on our business; the success of our acquisitions and other strategic development opportunities; our ability to develop, commercialize and gain market acceptance of our products; cybersecurity incidents and related disruptions and our ability to protect our stakeholders' privacy; product returns or liabilities; volatility of our stock price; our ability to service our convertible notes and comply with their terms. Such factors are set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), we also present fourth quarter and full year 2020 and fourth quarter and full year 2019 EBITDA (net income before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization), and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Non-GAAP earnings per share and adjusted effective tax rate, excluding acquisition and other one-time charges, which are non-GAAP measures. These measures should be viewed as a supplement to (not substitute for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures and most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in this release. Our management has included these measures to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis.
