PERKINELMER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by PerkinElmer, Inc. (the Company), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (the U.S.) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information in the footnote disclosures of the financial statements has been condensed or omitted where it substantially duplicates information provided in the Companys latest audited consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011, filed with the SEC (the 2010 Form 10-K). The balance sheet amounts at January 2, 2011 in this report were derived from the Companys audited 2010 consolidated financial statements included in the 2010 Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or any future period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events from April 3, 2011 through the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and has determined that no material subsequent events have occurred that would affect the information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements or to require additional disclosure. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation. None of the reclassifications affected the Companys net income in any period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This guidance provides amendments to the criteria for separating and measuring deliverables and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this guidance also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The amendments also require a company to provide information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about the way the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The Company adopted this authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This guidance changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are essential to the functionality of the product. Products for which software elements are not essential to the functionality of the product are excluded from current software revenue guidance. The guidance includes factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered essential to the functionality of the product. The amendments subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with
6
multiple deliverables. The Company adopted this authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements that include software elements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the milestone method of revenue recognition. This guidance will allow the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. This guidance provides a definition of a substantive milestone that should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The scope of the applicability of this definition is limited to transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. This guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination of whether this methodology is appropriate. The Company adopted this authoritative guidance on the milestone method of revenue recognition on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that such recently issued pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or do not apply to the Companys operations.

7
revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and will be allocated to goodwill, none of which will be tax deductible. The Company expects to report the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Companys Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
Acquisition of ArtusLabs, Inc. In March 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of ArtusLabs, Inc. (ArtusLabs).

The purchase price is also subject to potential adjustments for indemnification obligations of ArtusLabs equity holders. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which will be tax deductible. The Company has reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Companys Environmental Health segment from the acquisition date.
Acquisition of ID Biological Systems, Inc. In March 2011, the Company acquired specified assets and assumed specified liabilities of ID Biological Systems, Inc. (IDB). IDB is a manufacturer of filter paper-based sample collection devices for neonatal screening and prenatal diagnostics. The Company expects this acquisition to enhance its market position in the prenatal and neonatal markets. The Company paid approximately $7.7 million in cash at the closing for this transaction. The Company may pay additional contingent consideration of up to $3.3 million, with an estimated fair value of $0.3 million as of the closing date. The purchase price is also subject to potential adjustments for IDBs working capital as of the closing date and indemnification obligations of IDBs equity holders. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, all of which will be tax deductible. The Company has reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Companys Human Health segment from the acquisition date.
Acquisition of chemagen Biopolymer-Technologie AG. In February 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of chemagen Biopolymer-Technologie AG (chemagen). chemagen manufactures and sells nucleic acid sample preparation systems and reagents utilizing M-PVA magnetic bead technology. The Company expects this acquisition to enhance its genetic screening business by expanding the Companys product offerings to diagnostics, academic and industrial end markets. The Company paid the shareholders of chemagen approximately $35.0 million in cash at the closing for the stock of chemagen, inclusive of an adjustment for net working capital. The Company may pay additional contingent consideration of up to $20.3 million, with an estimated fair value of $7.7 million as of the closing date. The purchase price is also subject to potential adjustments for indemnification obligations of chemagens equity holders. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which will be tax deductible. The Company has reported the operations for this acquisition within the results of the Companys Human Health segment from the acquisition date.
Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocation. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets
8
acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on managements estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings to the extent it is to be settled in cash. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets. The Company does not consider these acquisitions to be material to its condensed consolidated results of operations and is therefore not presenting pro forma financial information of operations. The Company has also determined that the presentation of the results of operations for each of these acquisitions, from the date of acquisition, is impracticable due to the integration of the operations upon acquisition.
As of April 3, 2011, the purchase price and related allocation for the acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2011 were preliminary. The preliminary allocation may be revised as a result of additional information regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including taxes and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. For acquisitions completed subsequent to fiscal year 2008, during the measurement period, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. Adjustments to the initial allocation of the purchase price during the measurement period require the revision of comparative prior period financial information when reissued in subsequent financial statements. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the allocation of the purchase price would be as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date. The effects of measurement period adjustments may cause changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income or expense recognized in prior periods. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in current period earnings.

Note 3: Discontinued Operations
As part of the Companys continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, the Company has discontinued certain businesses. The Company has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, has presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.
The Company recorded the following gains and losses, which have been reported as loss on disposition of discontinued operations:

In November 2010, the Company sold its Illumination and Detection Solutions (IDS) business, which was included in the Companys Environmental Health segment, for approximately $500.0 million, $482.0 million net of payments for acquired cash balances, subject to an adjustment for working capital as of the closing date. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had a receivable from the buyer for $28.7 million outstanding related to this sale. The Company expects the divestiture of its IDS business to reduce the complexity of its product offerings and organizational structure, and to provide capital to reinvest in other Human Health and Environmental Health end markets. The buyer acquired the Companys IDS business through the purchase of all outstanding stock of certain of the Companys subsidiaries located in Germany, Canada, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as the purchase of related assets and the assumption of liabilities held by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries located in Singapore and Germany. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $315.3 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale of its IDS business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company updated the net working capital adjustment associated with the sale of this business and other potential contingencies, which resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax loss of $1.6 million. These gains and losses were recognized as a gain (loss) on the disposition of discontinued operations.
As part of the Companys strategic business alignment into the Human Health and Environmental Health segments, completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and the Companys continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, in December 2008, the Companys management approved a plan to divest its Photoflash business within the Environmental Health segment. In June 2010, the Company sold the Photoflash business for approximately $13.5 million, including a net working capital adjustment, plus potential additional contingent consideration. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.4 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale. This gain was recognized as a gain on the disposition of discontinued operations.
During the first three months of both fiscal years 2011 and 2010, the Company settled various commitments related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.2 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2010 in connection with the settlement of those commitments.

Note 4: Restructuring and Lease Charges, Net
The Company has undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with the Companys growth strategy and the integration of its business units.
A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded for the three months ended April 3, 2011 is listed below. Details of the plans initiated in previous years, particularly those listed under Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans, are discussed more fully in Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2010 Form 10-K.
The restructuring plan for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was intended principally to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plans for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 and third quarter of fiscal year 2009 were intended principally to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plan for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was intended principally to reduce resources in response to the economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring expenses and are included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations.
Q4 2010 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Companys management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the Q4 2010 Plan). As a result of the Q4 2010 Plan, the Company recognized a $5.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The Company also recognized a $7.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The restructuring costs for the closure of excess facility space was offset by the recognition of a $2.8 million gain that had been deferred from a previous sale-leaseback transaction on this facility. As part of the Q4 2010 Plan, the Company reduced headcount by 113 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q4 2010 Plan were completed by January 2, 2011.

The Company also anticipates that the remaining payments of $4.1 million for the closure of excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.
Q2 2010 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Companys management approved a plan to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the Q2 2010 Plan). As a result of the Q2 2010 Plan, the Company recognized a $7.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The restructuring costs for the closure of excess facility space was offset by the recognition of a $0.1 million gain that had been deferred from a previous sale-leaseback transaction on this facility. The Company also recognized a $3.9 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. As part of the Q2 2010 Plan, the Company reduced headcount by 115 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q2 2010 Plan were completed by July 4, 2010.

The Company also anticipates that the remaining payments of $2.1 million for the closure of excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.
Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2009 were workforce reductions related to the integration of the Companys businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with the Companys growth strategy. During the three months ended April 3, 2011, the Company paid $0.1 million
12
related to these plans. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had approximately $6.5 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities and remaining severance payments for workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments. The Company expects to make payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, through fiscal year 2022.

Note 7: Income Taxes
The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company makes adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in managements judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
At April 3, 2011, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $40.9 million, of which $34.9 million, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate. The remaining amount, if recognized, would affect discontinued operations.
At April 3, 2011, the Company had uncertain tax positions of $5.5 million, including accrued interest, net of tax benefits and penalties, which are expected to be resolved within the next year. A portion of the uncertain tax positions could affect the continuing operations effective tax rate depending on the ultimate resolution; however, the Company cannot quantify an estimated range at this time. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions.
Tax years ranging from 2001 through 2010 remain open to examination by various tax jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations, such as Singapore, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction.
13
As a result of the sale of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, the Company concluded that the remaining operations within those foreign subsidiaries previously containing IDS and Photoflash operations did not require the same level of capital as previously required, and therefore the Company plans to repatriate approximately $250.0 million of cash and has provided for the taxes on the related previously unremitted earnings. Taxes have not been provided for unremitted earnings that the Company continues to consider permanently reinvested, the determination of which is based on its future operational and capital requirements. The impact of this tax provision in fiscal year 2010 was an increase to the Companys tax provision of $65.8 million in discontinued operations. The Company expects to utilize existing tax attributes to repatriate these earnings and expects the taxes to be paid to repatriate these earnings will be minimal. As of April 3, 2011, the Company had repatriated $50.2 million in foreign earnings. From April 4, 2011 through May 4, 2011, the Company repatriated an additional $20.0 million in foreign earnings. The Company continues to maintain its permanent reinvestment assertion with regards to the remaining unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, and therefore does not accrue U.S. tax for the repatriation of its remaining unremitted foreign earnings.
Note 8: Debt
Amended Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 13, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility which provides for a $650.0 million facility through August 13, 2012. As of April 3, 2011, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $13.2 million are treated as issued under this amended facility. The Company uses the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate is the higher of (i) the corporate base rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. or (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. The Company may allocate all or a portion of its indebtedness under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility to interest based upon the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin, or the base rate. The Eurocurrency margin as of April 3, 2011 was 40 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of April 3, 2011 was 0.25%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 0.65%. The Company had drawn down $364.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars under the facility as of April 3, 2011, with interest based on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type, which are consistent with those financial covenants contained in the Companys previous senior revolving credit agreement. The financial covenants in the Companys amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility include debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent maximum total leverage ratio, applicable if the Companys credit rating is down-graded below investment grade.
6% Senior Unsecured Notes. On May 30, 2008, the Company issued and sold seven-year senior notes at a rate of 6% with a face value of $150.0 million and received $150.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in May 2015, is unsecured. Interest on the 6% senior notes is payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th. The Company may redeem some or all of its 6% senior notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the original aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable make-whole amount. The financial covenants in the Companys 6% senior notes include debt-to-capital ratios which, if the Companys credit rating is down-graded below investment grade, would be replaced by a contingent maximum total leverage ratio.
The Company entered into forward interest rate contracts in October 2007, with notional amounts totaling $300.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 4.25%, that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to the Companys expected debt issuance. In May 2008, the Company settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of its 6% senior unsecured notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income (loss). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company concluded that the remaining portion
14
of the expected debt issuance, with a notional amount totaling $150.0 million, was no longer probable. As a result of the debt issuance no longer being probable, the Company discontinued and settled the forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million and recognized a loss of $17.5 million in interest and other expense, net.
As of April 3, 2011, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the effective cash flow hedges was $5.0 million, net of taxes of $3.2 million. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. The Company amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2011 and $2.0 million during fiscal year 2010.
Note 9: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less restricted unvested shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the earnings per share calculations:

Antidilutive securities include outstanding stock options with proceeds from exercise plus average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of common stock for the related period. Antidilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share and could become dilutive in the future.
Note 10: Industry Segment Information
The Company discloses information about its operating segments based on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on sales and operating income. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. The Companys management reviews the results of the Companys operations by these two operating segments. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2010 Form 10-K. The principal products and services of these operating segments are:
| Human Health. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, the Company serves both the diagnostics and research markets. |
| Environmental Health. Provides technologies and applications to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. Within the Environmental Health segment, the Company serves the environmental and safety, industrial and laboratory services markets. |
15
The Company has a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when such costs are administered or paid by the Companys corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. The expenses for the Companys corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, have been included as Corporate below. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in the Companys calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes.

Stock Repurchase Program:
On October 23, 2008, the Company announced that the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). On August 31, 2010, the Company announced that the Board had authorized the Company to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by the Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of April 3, 2011, approximately 6.0 million shares of the Companys common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by the Board under the Repurchase Program.
The Board has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to the Companys equity incentive plans. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, the Company repurchased 55,378 shares of common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Dividends:
The Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and in each quarter of fiscal year 2010. In the future, the Board may determine to reduce or eliminate the Companys common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.
Note 12: Stock Plans
The Company utilizes one stock-based compensation plan, the 2009 Incentive Plan (the 2009 Plan). Under the 2009 Plan, 10.0 million shares of the Companys common stock, as well as shares of the Companys common stock previously granted under the Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive
17
Plan that were cancelled or forfeited without the shares being issued, are authorized for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, performance units and stock grants as part of the Companys compensation programs (the Plan). The 2009 Plan is described in more detail in the Companys definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 20, 2009 and Note 18 to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements filed with the 2010 Form 10-K.
For the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, the total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for the cost of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and stock grants was $3.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense recognized in continuing operations for the cost of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and stock grants was $3.1 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated income statements for stock-based compensation was $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively.

Performance Units: The Company granted 89,828 performance units and 129,879 performance units during the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively, as part of the Companys executive incentive program. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance units granted during the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010 was $26.71 and $20.89, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to these performance units, which is a function of current and prior year awards, was $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. As of April 3, 2011, 346,308 performance units were outstanding, all subject to forfeiture.
Stock Awards: The Company generally grants stock awards only to non-employee directors. The Company did not grant any stock awards to non-employee directors during each of the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan: During the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan. As of April 3, 2011, an aggregate of 1.3 million shares of the Companys common stock remained available for sale to employees out of the 5.0 million shares authorized by shareholders for issuance under this plan.
Note 13: Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
The Company tests goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually for possible impairment. Accordingly, the Company completes the annual testing of impairment for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. In addition to its annual test, the Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets.
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed its annual impairment testing for its reporting units as of January 3, 2011, its annual impairment date for fiscal year 2011, and concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment.
The Company has consistently employed the income approach to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of goodwill. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the income approach to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on approved business unit operating plans for the early years cash flows and historical relationships in later years. The income approach is sensitive to changes in long-term terminal growth rates and the discount rates. The long-term terminal growth rates are consistent with the Companys historical long-term terminal growth rates, as the current economic trends are not expected to affect the long-term terminal growth rates of the Company. The long-term terminal growth rates for the Companys reporting units ranged from 5.0% to 7.5% for the fiscal year 2011 impairment analysis. The range for the discount rates for the reporting units was 9.5% to 12.0%. Keeping all other variables constant, a 10.0% change in any one of the input assumptions for the various reporting units would still allow the Company to conclude, based on the first step of the process, that there was no impairment of goodwill.
The Company has consistently employed the relief from royalty model to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company currently evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing
20
intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of January 3, 2011, and concluded that there was no impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. An assessment of the recoverability of amortizing intangible assets takes place only when events have occurred that may give rise to an impairment. No such events occurred during the first three months of fiscal year 2011.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended April 3, 2011 from January 2, 2011 were as follows:

Note 14: Warranty Reserves
The Company provides warranty protection for certain products for periods usually ranging from one to three years beyond the date of sale. The majority of costs associated with warranty obligations include the replacement of parts and the time for service personnel to respond to repair and replacement requests. A warranty reserve is recorded based upon historical results, supplemented by managements expectations of future costs. Warranty reserves are included in Accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warranty reserve activity for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010 is summarized below:

Note 16: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy only, and includes derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and has policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 61% of the Companys business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. The fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward currency contracts that hedge these exposures.
22
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with its committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on the Companys foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in earnings for hedges designated as fair value and, for hedges designated as cash flow, the related unrealized gains or losses are deferred as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying anticipated transaction occurs and impacts earnings.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY) and Singapore Dollar (SGD). The Company held forward foreign exchange contracts with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $79.1 million at April 3, 2011 and $223.2 million at April 4, 2010, and the approximate fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days during both fiscal years 2011 and 2010.
The Company entered into forward interest rate contracts in October 2007, with notional amounts totaling $300.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 4.25%, that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to the Companys expected debt issuance. In May 2008, the Company settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of its 6% senior unsecured notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income (loss). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company concluded that the remaining portion of the expected debt issuance, with a notional amount totaling $150.0 million, was no longer probable. As a result of the debt issuance no longer being probable, the Company discontinued and settled the forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million and recognized a loss of $17.5 million in interest and other expense, net.
As of April 3, 2011, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the effective cash flow hedges was $5.0 million, net of taxes of $3.2 million. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. The Company amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2011 and $2.0 million during fiscal year 2010.
Note 17: Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended April 3, 2011. The Companys financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are primarily comprised of marketable securities, derivative contracts used to hedge the Companys currency risk, and acquisition-related contingent consideration. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy: The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the guidance to measure fair value. For Level 1 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices as these instruments have active markets. For Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or utilizes alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. For Level 3 inputs, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based on the best information available, including estimates by management primarily based on information provided by third-party fund managers, independent brokerage firms and insurance companies. A financial assets or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
23
The following tables show the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011 classified in one of the three classifications described above:

Valuation Techniques: The Companys Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised of investments in equity and fixed-income securities as well as derivative contracts. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including common stock price quotes, foreign exchange forward prices and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities.
Marketable securities |
Include equity and fixed-income securities measured at fair value using the quoted market prices at the reporting date. | |
Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities |
Include foreign exchange derivative contracts that are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. |
The Company has classified its net liabilities for contingent consideration relating to its acquisitions of chemagen, ArtusLabs, IDB and Sym-Bio LifeScience Co., Ltd. within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included probability weighted cash flows. A description of the acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2011 is included in Note 2 and of the earlier acquisitions within Note 2 to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements filed with the 2010 Form 10-K. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 net liabilities is as follows:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The Companys amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility, with a $650.0 million available limit, and the Companys 6% senior unsecured notes, with a face value of $150.0 million, had outstanding balances as of April 3, 2011 of $364.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, and as of January 2, 2011 of $274.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. The interest rate on the Companys amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility is reset at least monthly to correspond to variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. The Company had no change in credit standing during the first three months of fiscal year 2011. Consequently, the carrying value of the current year and prior year credit facilities approximate fair value. The fair value of the 6.0% senior unsecured notes is estimated using market quotes from brokers or is based on current rates offered for similar debt. At April 3, 2011, the 6.0% senior unsecured notes had an aggregate carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of $165.7 million. At January 2, 2011, the 6.0% senior unsecured notes had an aggregate carrying value of $150.0 million and a fair value of $166.8 million.
As of April 3, 2011, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the Companys derivative liabilities due to credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to the Companys derivative assets based on the evaluation of its counterparties credit risks.
Note 18: Contingencies
The Company is conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of the Company and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain waste disposal sites. The Company accrues for environmental issues in the accounting period that the Companys responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued $6.1 million as of April 3, 2011, which represents managements estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where the Company has been named a PRP, management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. The Company expects that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, Enzo) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. (the New York Case). The complaint alleges that the Company has breached its distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzos patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzos patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. The Company subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzos patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzos patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, the Company believes, excludes certain of the Companys
25
products from the coverage of Enzos patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. In January 2009, the case was assigned to a new district court judge and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decides Enzos appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the Connecticut Case), which involves a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzos case against the Company. On March 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. Pending further disposition of the Connecticut Case, the New York Case against the Company and other defendants remains stayed.
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and it is contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of the Companys management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Although the Company has established accruals for potential losses that it believes are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of the Companys management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at April 3, 2011 should not have a material adverse effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the following managements discussion and analysis, contains forward-looking information that you should read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that we have included elsewhere in this report. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as believes, plans, anticipates, intends, expects, will and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the plans, intentions or expectations we disclose in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors below under the heading Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A. that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We are a leading provider of technology, services and solutions to the diagnostics, research, environmental and safety, industrial and laboratory services markets. Through our advanced technologies, solutions, and services, we address critical issues that help to improve the health and safety of people and their environment in two reporting segments:
| Human Health. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Within the Human Health segment, we serve both the diagnostics and research markets. |
| Environmental Health. Provides technologies and applications to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. Within the Environmental Health segment, we serve the environmental and safety, industrial and laboratory services markets. |
Overview of the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2011
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. We report fiscal years under a 52/53 week format, and as a result certain fiscal years will contain 53 weeks. Both our 2011 and 2010 fiscal years include 52 weeks.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, we continued to see good performance from acquisitions, investments in our ongoing technology and sales and marketing initiatives. Our overall sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 increased $54.2 million, or 14%, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, reflecting an increase of $13.4 million, or 7%, in our Human Health segment sales and an increase of $40.8 million, or 20%, in our Environmental Health segment sales. The increase in our Human Health segment sales during the three months ended April 3, 2011 was due primarily to increased demand from the adoption of our neonatal and infectious disease screening offerings in the diagnostics market, and increased growth in the academic sector for both instruments and reagents in the research market, partially offset by our medical imaging business. The increase in our Environmental Health segment sales during the three months ended April 3, 2011 was due primarily to growth in our environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products, as well as growth in our OneSource multivendor service offering as our comprehensive service offering continues to grow with our key customers. We also experienced continued growth in industrial markets with the reduction of constraints on capital purchases to rebuild capacity as a result of the cyclical recovery and continued increased demand after the extended period of delayed capital investment.
In our Human Health segment, we experienced strong growth in sales in the diagnostics market related to increased demand for our neonatal and infectious disease screening offerings, particularly in the emerging markets, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The performance within our genetic screening business was driven by continued expansion of prenatal screening
27
platforms, with broad-based growth experienced across all major geographies, particularly in China with continued expansion of our newborn screening business through our acquisition of Sym-Bio LifeScience Co., Ltd. (Sym-Bio) in fiscal year 2009. This increase was partially offset by the impact of lower birth rates in the United States and tight inventory management in state and national labs for neonatal screening. In the research market, demand for our reagents and instrumentation was encouraging in the academic sector as early stage therapeutic researchers continue their efforts to optimize compound screening efficiencies in the lab, offset by customer consolidations in the pharmaceutical market and reduced demand for our legacy radioisotope portfolio. In particular, we saw strong demand for our Operetta cellular imaging systems and EnSpire multi-mode plate readers, both of which have targeted features aligned with the needs of our academic customers. Our medical imaging business declined in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year, which had improved market conditions as constraints eased on medical providers capital budgets. This decline was partially offset by demand in adjacent markets, including industrial and veterinary. As the rising cost of healthcare continues to be one of the critical issues facing our customers, we anticipate that even with continued pressure on lab budgets and credit availability, the benefits of providing earlier detection of disease, which can result in savings of long-term health care costs as well as creating better outcomes for patients, are increasingly valued and we expect to see continued growth in these markets.
In our Environmental Health segment, sales of environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products grew in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as increased regulations in environmental and food safety markets continue to drive strong demand for our analytical technologies. We saw continued strength in our inorganic analysis solutions, such as our recently launched NexION® mass spectrometer, used for detecting trace metal contaminants in food and environmental applications. Our chromatography business performed well in the period, driven by ongoing concerns around food additives and adulterants, as well as pesticide contaminants in both food and water, and we also continued to see signs of recovery in our traditional industrial markets with the reduction of constraints on capital purchases to rebuild capacity as a result of the cyclical recovery and increased demand after an extended period of delayed capital investments. We believe that the need for increased inspection, testing and tracking of contaminants will continue to drive increased demand for our products. Our laboratory services business enables our customers to drive efficiencies, increase production time and reduce maintenance costs, all of which continue to be critical for our customers. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, we continued to grow by adding new customers to our OneSource multivendor service offering, as well as continued growth of our comprehensive service offering with our key customers.
Our consolidated gross margins increased approximately 20 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 due to increased sales volume, productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives, partially offset by changes in product mix with growth in sales of lower gross margin product offerings. Our consolidated operating margin improved approximately 100 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, primarily the result of cost containment initiatives, partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, acquisition integration related costs and increased pension expense.
We believe we are well positioned to continue to take advantage of the improved spending trends in our end markets and to promote our efficiencies in markets where current conditions may increase demand for certain services. Overall, we believe that our strategic focus on Human Health and Environmental Health coupled with our breadth of end markets, deep portfolio of technologies and applications, leading market positions, global scale and financial strength will provide us with a strong foundation for continued growth.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, pensions and other postretirement benefits, stock-based compensation, warranty costs, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe our critical accounting policies include our policies regarding revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, business combinations, value of long-lived assets, including intangibles, employee compensation and benefits, restructuring activities, gains or losses on dispositions and income taxes.
For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the Notes to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2011 (the 2010 Form 10-K), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations
Sales
Sales for the three months ended April 3, 2011 were $447.9 million, as compared to $393.6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $54.2 million, or 14%, which includes an approximate 2% increase from acquisitions and an approximate 2% increase in sales attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment sales for the three months ended April 3, 2011 as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2010 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. The total increase in sales reflects an increase of $13.4 million, or 7%, in our Human Health segment sales due to an increase in diagnostics market sales of $11.4 million, and an increase in research market sales of $2.0 million. Our Environmental Health segment sales increased $40.8 million, or 20%, due to increases in environmental and safety and industrial markets sales of $26.9 million, and an increase in laboratory services market sales of $13.9 million.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended April 3, 2011 was $247.6 million, as compared to $218.4 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $29.3 million, or 13%. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased to 55.3% for the three months ended April 3, 2011, from 55.5% for the three months ended April 4, 2010, resulting in an increase in gross margin of approximately 20 basis points to 44.7% for the three months ended April 3, 2011, from 44.5% for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $11.4 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Stock option expense decreased and was $0.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2011 was $0.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of increased sales volume, productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives, partially offset by changes in product mix with growth in sales of lower gross margin product offerings.
30
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 3, 2011 were $134.6 million, as compared to $121.6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $13.0 million, or 11%. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased and were 30.0% for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to 30.9% for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $4.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Stock option expense decreased and was $0.9 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Purchase accounting adjustments for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions added an expense of $3.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and $0.7 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, acquisition integration related costs, and increased pension expense, partially offset by cost containment initiatives.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended April 3, 2011 were $26.3 million, as compared to $23.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $3.3 million, or 14%. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses was 5.9% for each of the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010. Amortization of intangible assets was $0.4 million for each of the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010. Stock option expense was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010.
Restructuring and Lease Charges, Net
We have undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with our growth strategy and the integration of our business units.
A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded for the three months ended April 3, 2011 is listed below. Details of the plans initiated in previous years, particularly those listed under Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans, are discussed more fully in Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2010 Form 10-K.
The restructuring plan for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 was intended principally to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plans for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 and third quarter of fiscal year 2009 were intended principally to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets. The restructuring plan for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was intended principally to reduce resources in response to the economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring expenses and are included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations. We expect the impact of immediate cost savings from the restructuring plans on operating results and cash flows to approximately offset the increased spending in higher growth regions and the decline in revenue from certain products, respectively. We expect the impact of future cost savings from these restructuring activities on operating results and cash flows to be negligible, as we will incur offsetting costs by shifting resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets.
Q4 2010 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, our management approved a plan to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the Q4 2010 Plan). As a result of the Q4 2010 Plan, we
31
recognized a $5.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. We also recognized a $7.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The restructuring costs for the closure of excess facility space was offset by the recognition of a $2.8 million gain that had been deferred from a previous sale-leaseback transaction on this facility. As part of the Q4 2010 Plan, we reduced headcount by 113 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of excess facility space for the Q4 2010 Plan were completed by January 2, 2011.
The following table summarizes the Q4 2010 Plan activity for the three months ended April 3, 2011:
Severance | Closure of Excess Facility Space |

We anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $2.9 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $4.1 million for the closure of excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.
Q2 2010 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, our management approved a plan to reduce resources in response to the continued economic downturn and its impact on demand in certain end markets and to shift resources to higher growth geographic regions and end markets (the Q2 2010 Plan). As a result of the Q2 2010 Plan, we recognized a $7.0 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. The restructuring costs for the closure of excess facility space was offset by the recognition of a $0.1 million gain that had been deferred from a previous sale-leaseback transaction on this facility. We also recognized a $3.9 million pre-tax restructuring charge in the Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. As part of the Q2 2010 Plan, we reduced headcount by 115 employees. All employee notifications and actions related to the closure of the excess facility space for the Q2 2010 Plan were completed by July 4, 2010.
The following table summarizes the Q2 2010 Plan activity for the three months ended April 3, 2011:

We anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $1.2 million for workforce reductions will be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $2.1 million for the closure of the excess facility space will be paid through fiscal year 2022, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.

Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal years 2001 through 2009 were workforce reductions related to the integration of our businesses in order to reduce costs and achieve operational efficiencies as well as workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments by shifting resources into geographic regions and product lines that are more consistent with our growth strategy. During the three months ended April 3, 2011, we paid $0.1 million related to these plans. As of April 3, 2011, we had approximately $6.5 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities and remaining severance payments for workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments. We expect to make payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, through fiscal year 2022.

Interest and other expense, net, for the three months ended April 3, 2011 was an expense of $5.8 million, as compared to an expense of $3.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $2.6 million. The increase in interest and other expense, net, for the three months ended April 3, 2011 as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2010 was primarily due to the increase in other expense (income), net, of $2.7 million, which consisted primarily of expenses related to foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation. Interest expense increased by $0.1 million and interest income increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2010, primarily due to higher interest rates, and higher cash balances, respectively. A more complete discussion of our liquidity is set forth below under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended April 3, 2011, the provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $7.7 million, as compared to a provision of $7.9 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.9% for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to 28.6% for the three months ended April 4, 2010. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to favorable permanent tax differences and an increase in the expected mix of profits from lower tax rate jurisdictions.
Discontinued Operations
As part of our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, we have discontinued certain businesses. We have accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, have presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 3, 2011 and January 2, 2011.

In November 2010, we sold our Illumination and Detection Solutions (IDS) business, which was included in our Environmental Health segment, for approximately $500.0 million, $482.0 million net of payments for acquired cash balances, subject to an adjustment for working capital as of the closing date. As of April 3, 2011, we had a receivable from the buyer for $28.7 million outstanding related to this sale. We expect the divestiture of our IDS business to reduce the complexity of our product offerings and organizational structure, and to provide capital to reinvest in other Human Health and Environmental Health end markets. The buyer acquired our IDS business through the purchase of all outstanding stock of certain of our subsidiaries located in Germany, Canada, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States as well as the purchase of related assets and the assumption of liabilities held by us and certain of our subsidiaries located in Singapore and Germany. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $315.3 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale of our IDS business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, we updated the net working capital adjustment associated with the sale of this business and other potential contingencies, which resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax loss of $1.6 million. These gains and losses were recognized as a gain (loss) on the disposition of discontinued operations.
As part of our strategic business alignment into our Human Health and Environmental Health segments, completed at the beginning of fiscal year 2009, and our continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, in December 2008, our management approved a plan to divest our Photoflash business. In June 2010, we sold the Photoflash business for approximately $13.5 million, including a net working capital adjustment, plus potential additional contingent consideration. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $4.4 million, inclusive of the net working capital adjustment, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 as a result of the sale. This gain was recognized as a gain on the disposition of discontinued operations.
During the first three months of both fiscal years 2011 and 2010, we settled various commitments related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations. We recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.2 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2010 in connection with the closure of a facility space.
Summary operating results of the discontinued operations for the periods prior to disposition were as follows:

Contingencies, Including Tax Matters
We are conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at our current and former locations and, along with other companies, have been named a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain waste disposal sites. We accrue for environmental issues in the accounting period that our responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. We have accrued $6.1 million as of April 3, 2011, which represents our managements estimate of the total cost of ultimate disposition of known environmental matters. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where we have been named a PRP, our management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. We expect that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, Enzo) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. (the New York Case). The complaint alleges that we have breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzos patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzos patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. We subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzos patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzos patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excludes certain of our products from the coverage of Enzos patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. In January 2009, the case was assigned to a new district court judge and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decides Enzos appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the Connecticut Case), which involves a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzos case against us. On March 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. Pending further disposition of the Connecticut Case, the New York Case against us and other defendants remains stayed.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and we are contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
35
Tax years ranging from 2001 through 2010 remain open to examination by various tax jurisdictions in which we have significant business operations, such as Singapore, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. We regularly review our tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating our unrecognized tax benefits. We make adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in managements judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at April 3, 2011 should not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.
Reporting Segment Results of Continuing Operations
Human Health
Sales for the three months ended April 3, 2011 were $202.0 million, as compared to $188.6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $13.4 million, or 7%, which includes an approximate 3% increase from acquisitions and an approximate 2% increase in sales attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected sales by product type for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2010, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in sales in our Human Health segment reflects an increase in diagnostics market sales of $11.4 million, and an increase in research market sales of $2.0 million. The increase in our Human Health segment sales during the three months ended April 3, 2011 was due primarily to increased demand from the adoption of our neonatal and infectious disease screening offerings in the diagnostics market, and increased growth in the academic sector for both instruments and reagents in the research market, partially offset by our medical imaging business, which experienced a decline in sales in comparison with the beginning of fiscal year 2010 when constraints on medical providers capital budgets from the global economic downturn first began to ease. The increased growth in the academic sector for both instruments and reagents in the research market continued as early stage therapeutic researchers continue their efforts to optimize compound screening efficiencies in the lab. These increases were partially offset by the impact of lower birth rates in the United States and tight inventory management in state and national labs for neonatal screening in the diagnostics market, as well as customer consolidations in the pharmaceutical market and reduced demand for our legacy radioisotope portfolio in the research market.
Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2011 was $20.8 million, as compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 5%. Amortization of intangible assets was $12.7 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. Purchase accounting adjustments for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions added an expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2011 was $0.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Changes in product mix with growth in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, increased sales and marketing expenses, particularly in emerging territories, acquisition integration related costs, and increased pension expenses decreased operating income for the three months ended April 3, 2011, which was partially offset by increased sales volume, productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives.
36
Environmental Health
Sales for the three months ended April 3, 2011 were $245.9 million, as compared to $205.0 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $40.8 million, or 20%, which includes an approximate 3% increase in sales attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates and no net impact from acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares selected sales by market and product type for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2010, and includes the effect of foreign exchange fluctuations and acquisitions. The increase in sales in our Environmental Health segment reflects increases in environmental and safety and industrial markets sales of $26.9 million, and an increase in laboratory services market sales of $13.9 million. The increase in our Environmental Health segment sales during the three months ended April 3, 2011 was due primarily to growth in our environmental, food and consumer safety and testing products, as well as growth in our OneSource multivendor service offering as our comprehensive service offering continues to grow with our key customers. We also experienced continued growth in industrial markets with the reduction of constraints on capital purchases to rebuild capacity as a result of the cyclical recovery and continued increased demand after the extended period of delayed capital investment.
Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2011 was $29.1 million, as compared to $19.0 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, an increase of $10.2 million, or 54%. Amortization of intangible assets was $3.7 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. Purchase accounting adjustments for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs related to certain acquisitions was an expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to an expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010. Increased sales volume, changes in product mix with growth in sales of higher gross margin product offerings, productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives increased operating income for the three months ended April 3, 2011, which was partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses and increased pension expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, make strategic acquisitions, service our debt and other long-term liabilities, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock. Our principal sources of funds are from our operations and the capital markets, particularly the debt markets. We anticipate that our internal operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, smaller acquisitions, interest payments on our debt and dividends on our common stock. However, we expect to use external sources to satisfy the balance of our debt when due, any larger acquisitions and other long-term liabilities.
Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally generated funds include:
| changes in sales due to weakness in markets in which we sell our products and services, and |
| changes in our working capital requirements. |
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:
| financial covenants contained in the financial instruments controlling our borrowings that limit our total borrowing capacity, |
| increases in interest rates applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt, |
| a ratings downgrade that would limit our ability to borrow under our amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our overall access to the corporate debt market, |
| increases in interest rates or credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit, that affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, |
| a decrease in the market price for our common stock, and |
| volatility in the public debt and equity markets. |

At April 3, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $415.8 million and an amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility with $272.8 million available for additional borrowing.
On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board of Directors (our Board) authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). On August 31, 2010, we announced that our Board had authorized us to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, we repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of April 3, 2011, approximately 6.0 million shares of our common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program.
Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, we repurchased 55,378 shares of common stock for this purpose.
The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with corporate programs. If we continue to repurchase shares, the repurchase program will be funded using our existing financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents, and our existing amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
As a result of the sale of the IDS and Photoflash businesses, we concluded that the remaining operations within those foreign subsidiaries previously containing IDS and Photoflash operations did not require the same level of capital as previously required, and therefore we plan to repatriate approximately $250.0 million of cash and have provided for the taxes on the related previously unremitted earnings. Taxes have not been provided for unremitted earnings that we continue to consider permanently reinvested, which is based on our future operational and capital requirements. The impact of this tax provision in fiscal year 2010 was an increase to our tax provision of $65.8 million in discontinued operations. We expect to utilize existing tax attributes to repatriate these earnings and expect the taxes to be paid to repatriate these earnings will be minimal. As of April 3, 2011, we had repatriated $50.2 million in foreign earnings. From April 4, 2011 through May 4, 2011, we repatriated an additional $20.0 million in foreign earnings.
Distressed global financial markets could adversely impact general economic conditions by reducing liquidity and credit availability, creating increased volatility in security prices, widening credit spreads and decreasing valuations of certain investments. The widening of credit spreads may create a less favorable environment for certain of our businesses and may affect the fair value of financial instruments that we issue or hold. Increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit at rates we consider to be reasonable, could affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, which may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. In difficult global financial markets, we may be forced to fund our operations at a higher cost, or we may be unable to raise as much funding as we need to support our business activities.
Our pension plans have not experienced any material impact on liquidity or counterparty exposure due to the volatility in the credit markets. We have experienced increased pension costs in the first three months of fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2010 as a result of significant losses experienced in global equity markets during fiscal year 2008, although our pension funds had modest gains for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and the first three months of fiscal year 2011. We expect to experience increased pension costs for the remainder of fiscal year 2011 and could in additional future periods for all pension plans. We may be required to fund our international pension plans with contributions of up to $11.0 million by the end of fiscal year 2011, and we could potentially have to make additional funding payments in future periods for all of our pension plans.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $47.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to net cash provided by continuing operations of $51.2 million for the three months ended April 4, 2010, a decrease of $4.0 million. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 3, 2011 was a result of income from continuing operations of $25.9 million and depreciation and amortization of $24.0 million. These amounts were partially offset by a net increase in working capital of $1.3 million. Contributing to the net increase in working capital for the three months ended April 3, 2011, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, was a decrease in accounts payable of $16.3 million and an increase in inventory of $9.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $24.6 million. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily a result of the timing of disbursements during the first three months of fiscal year 2011. The increase in inventory overall was primarily a result of expanding the amount of inventory held at sales locations within our Environmental Health and Human Health segments to improve responsiveness to customer requirements and for the introduction of new products. The decrease in accounts receivable was a result of lower sales volume during the first three months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the three months end January 2, 2011. Changes in accrued expenses, other assets and liabilities and other items, net, decreased cash provided by operating activities by $1.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, and primarily related to the timing of payments for tax, restructuring, and salary and benefits.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in continuing operations investing activities was $64.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to $10.6 million of net cash used in continuing operations investing activities for the three months ended April 4, 2010. For the three months ended April 3, 2011, we used $56.6 million of net cash for acquisitions, core technology purchases, acquired licenses and other costs in connection with these and other transactions. Capital expenditures for the three months ended April 3, 2011 were $7.7 million, primarily in the areas of tooling and other capital equipment purchases.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in continuing operations financing activities was $1.9 million for the three months ended April 3, 2011, as compared to $26.9 million of net cash used in continuing operations financing activities for the three months ended April 4, 2010. For the three months ended April 3, 2011, we repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of our common stock, including 55,378 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards, for a total cost of $109.2 million, including commissions. This compares to repurchases of approximately 44,172 shares of our common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards for the three months ended April 4, 2010, for a total cost of $0.9 million, including commissions. This use of cash was offset by proceeds from common stock option exercises of $25.8 million, including the related excess tax benefit, for the three months ended April 3, 2011. This compares to the proceeds from common stock option exercises of $12.5 million, including the related excess tax benefit, for the three months ended April 4, 2010. During the three months ended April 3, 2011, debt borrowings from our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaled $208.0 million, which was partially offset by debt reductions of $118.2 million. This compares to debt borrowings from our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility of $32.0 million, which was offset by debt reductions of $62.0 million during the three months ended April 4, 2010. We paid $8.1 million and $8.2 million in dividends during the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. In addition, we settled $0.1 million in contingent consideration recorded at the acquisition date fair value for acquisitions completed subsequent to fiscal year 2008 during both of the three months ended April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010.
Borrowing Arrangements
Amended Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 13, 2007, we entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility which provides for a $650.0 million facility through August 13, 2012. Letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $13.2 million are treated as issued under this amended facility. We use the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share
39
repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate at the time of borrowing plus a margin, or the base rate from time to time. The base rate is the higher of (i) the corporate base rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. or (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. We may allocate all or a portion of our indebtedness under the amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility to interest based upon the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin, or the base rate. The Eurocurrency margin as of April 3, 2011 was 40 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of April 3, 2011 was 0.25%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 0.65%. We had drawn down approximately $364.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars under the facility as of April 3, 2011, with interest based on the above described Eurocurrency rate. The agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type, which are consistent with those financial covenants contained in our previous senior revolving credit agreement. The financial covenants in our amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility include debt-to-capital ratios and a contingent maximum total leverage ratio, applicable if our credit rating is down-graded below investment grade. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of April 3, 2011, and anticipate being in compliance for the duration of the term of the credit facility.
6% Senior Unsecured Notes. On May 30, 2008, we issued and sold seven-year senior notes at a rate of 6% with a face value of $150.0 million and received $150.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance. The debt, which matures in May 2015, is unsecured. Interest on the 6% senior notes is payable semi-annually on May 30th and November 30th. We may redeem some or all of our 6% senior notes at any time in an amount not less than 10% of the original aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable make-whole amount. The financial covenants in our 6% senior notes include debt-to-capital ratios which, if our credit rating is down-graded below investment grade, would be replaced by a contingent maximum total leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of April 3, 2011, and anticipate being in compliance for the duration of the term of the notes.
We entered into forward interest rate contracts in October 2007, with notional amounts totaling $300.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 4.25% that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to our expected debt issuance. In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of our 6% senior unsecured notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income (loss). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, we concluded that the remaining portion of the expected debt issuance, with a notional amount totaling $150.0 million, was no longer probable. As a result of the debt issuance no longer being probable, we discontinued and settled the forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million and recognized a loss of $17.5 million in interest and other expense, net.
As of April 3, 2011, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the effective cash flow hedges was $5.0 million, net of taxes of $3.2 million. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. We amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2011 and $2.0 million during fiscal year 2010.
Our Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 and in each quarter of fiscal year 2010. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.
Effects of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple revenue-generating activities. This guidance provides amendments to the
40
criteria for separating and measuring deliverables and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments in this guidance also establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The amendments also require a company to provide information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments and about the way the application of the relative selling-price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. We adopted this authoritative guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This guidance changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are essential to the functionality of the product. Products for which software elements are not essential to the functionality of the product are excluded from current software revenue guidance. The guidance includes factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered essential to the functionality of the product. The amendments subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. We adopted this authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements that include software elements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the milestone method of revenue recognition. This guidance allows the milestone method as an acceptable revenue recognition methodology when an arrangement includes substantive milestones. This guidance provides a definition of a substantive milestone that should be applied regardless of whether the arrangement includes single or multiple deliverables or units of accounting. The scope of the applicability of this definition is limited to transactions involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables. This guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement, individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination of whether this methodology is appropriate. We adopted this authoritative guidance on the milestone method of revenue recognition on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effects of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that such recently issued pronouncements will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows or do not apply to our operations.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Market Risk
Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted market exposures. We briefly describe several of the market risks we face below. The following disclosure is not materially different from the disclosure provided under the heading, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in our 2010 Form 10-K.
Foreign Exchange Risk. The potential change in foreign currency exchange rates offers a substantial risk to us, as approximately 61% of our business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. Our risk management strategy currently uses forward contracts to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying
41
exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward contracts that hedge these exposures. Moreover, we are able to partially mitigate the impact that fluctuations in currencies have on our net income as a result of our manufacturing facilities located in countries outside the United States, material sourcing and other spending which occur in countries outside the United States, resulting in natural hedges.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY) and Singapore Dollar (SGD). We held forward foreign exchange contracts with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $79.1 million and $223.2 million as of April 3, 2011 and April 4, 2010, respectively. The fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material and the duration of these contracts was generally 30 days during both fiscal years 2011 and 2010.
We do not enter into foreign currency derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. Although we attempt to manage our foreign currency exchange risk through the above activities, when the U.S. dollar weakens against other currencies in which we transact business, generally sales and net income will be positively, but not proportionately, impacted.
Foreign Currency RiskValue-at-Risk Disclosure. We continue to measure foreign currency risk using the Value-at-Risk model described in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in our 2010 Form 10-K. The measures for our Value-at-Risk analysis have not changed materially.
Interest Rate Risk. As described above, our debt portfolio includes variable rate instruments. Fluctuations in interest rates can therefore have a direct impact on both our short-term cash flows, as they relate to interest, and our earnings. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we periodically enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to our policies to hedge against known or forecasted interest rate exposures.
We entered into forward interest rate contracts in October 2007, with notional amounts totaling $300.0 million and a weighted average interest rate of 4.25% that were intended to hedge movements in interest rates prior to our expected debt issuance. In May 2008, we settled forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million upon the issuance of our 6% senior unsecured notes, and recognized $8.4 million, net of taxes of $5.4 million, of accumulated derivative losses in other comprehensive income (loss). During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, we concluded that the remaining portion of the expected debt issuance, with a notional amount totaling $150.0 million, was no longer probable. As a result of the debt issuance no longer being probable, we discontinued and settled the forward interest rate contracts with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million and recognized a loss of $17.5 million in interest and other expense, net.
As of April 3, 2011, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the effective cash flow hedges was $5.0 million, net of taxes of $3.2 million. The derivative losses are being amortized into interest expense when the hedged exposure affects interest expense. We amortized into interest expense $0.5 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2011 and $2.0 million during fiscal year 2010.
Interest Rate RiskSensitivity. Our 2010 Form 10-K presents sensitivity measures for our interest rate risk. The measures for our sensitivity analysis have not changed materially. More information is available in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, in our 2010 Form 10-K for our sensitivity disclosure.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2011. The term disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of
42
a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
43
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, Enzo) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. (the New York Case). The complaint alleges that we have breached our distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzos patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzos patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. Enzo seeks injunctive and monetary relief. In 2003, the court severed the lawsuit and ordered Enzo to serve individual complaints against the five defendants. We subsequently filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzos patents are invalid. In July 2006, the court issued a decision regarding the construction of the claims in Enzos patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, we believe, excludes certain of our products from the coverage of Enzos patents. Summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants in January 2007, and a hearing with oral argument on those motions took place in July 2007. In January 2009, the case was assigned to a new district court judge and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decides Enzos appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the Connecticut Case), which involves a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzos case against us. On March 26, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. Pending further disposition of the Connecticut Case, the New York Case against us and other defendants remains stayed.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to the matter described above, and we are contesting the action vigorously. While this matter is subject to uncertainty, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although we have established accruals for potential losses that we believe are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of our management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at April 3, 2011 should not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to us.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The following important factors affect our business and operations generally or affect multiple segments of our business and operations and are not materially different from those factors reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 2, 2011:
If the markets into which we sell our products decline or do not grow as anticipated due to a decline in general economic conditions, or there are uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals, or there are unfavorable changes in government regulations, we may see an adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
Our customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, laboratories, academic and research institutions, public health authorities, private healthcare organizations, doctors and government agencies. Our
44
quarterly sales and results of operations are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter. In addition, our revenues and earnings forecasts for future quarters are often based on the expected trends in our markets. However, the markets we serve do not always experience the trends that we may expect. Negative fluctuations in our customers markets, the inability of our customers to secure credit or funding, restrictions in capital expenditures, general economic conditions, cuts in government funding or unfavorable changes in government regulations would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and services. In addition, government funding is subject to economic conditions and the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Our revenues may be adversely affected if our customers delay or reduce purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals. Such declines could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and trading price of our common stock, and could limit our ability to sustain profitability.
Our growth is subject to global economic, political and other risks.
We have operations in many parts of the world. The health of the global economy has a significant impact on our business. The global economy which experienced a significant downturn throughout 2008 and 2009, including the effects of the credit market crisis and the resulting impact on the finance and banking industries, volatile currency exchange rates and energy costs, inflation concerns, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital expenditures and liquidity concerns, began showing signs of gradual improvement in 2010. However, while some economic indicators improved, the overall rate of global recovery experienced during the course of 2010 and 2011 has been uneven and recovery is still uncertain. There can be no assurance that any of the recent economic improvements will be sustainable, or that we will not experience any adverse effects that may be material to our consolidated cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or our ability to access capital. Our business is also affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, financial liquidity and currency volatility or devaluation. Political changes, some of which may be disruptive, could interfere with our supply chain, our customers and all of our activities in a particular location. In addition, our global facilities face risks that may relate to natural disasters, labor relations or regulatory compliance. While certain of these risks can be hedged in a limited way using financial instruments and some are insurable, such attempts to mitigate these risks are costly and not always successful. In addition, our ability to engage in such mitigation has decreased or become even more costly as a result of recent market developments.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, we may lose market share and be unable to achieve revenue growth targets.
We sell many of our products in industries characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions, and evolving customer needs and industry standards. Many of the businesses competing with us in these industries have significant financial and other resources to invest in new technologies, substantial intellectual property portfolios, substantial experience in new product development, regulatory expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and established distribution channels to deliver products to customers. Our products could become technologically obsolete over time, or we may invest in technology that does not lead to revenue growth or continue to sell products for which the demand from our customers is declining, in which case we may lose market share or not achieve our revenue growth targets. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to:
| accurately anticipate customer needs, |
| innovate and develop new technologies and applications, |
| successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner, |
| price our products competitively, and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time, and |
| differentiate our offerings from our competitors offerings. |
45
Many of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We must anticipate industry trends and consistently develop new products to meet our customers expectations. In developing new products, we may be required to make significant investments before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our customers needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant sales. We may also suffer a loss in market share and potential sales revenue if we are unable to commercialize our technology in a timely and efficient manner.
In addition, some of our licensed technology is subject to contractual restrictions, which may limit our ability to develop or commercialize products for some applications.
We may not be able to successfully execute acquisitions or license technologies, integrate acquired businesses or licensed technologies into our existing businesses, make acquired businesses or licensed technologies profitable, or successfully divest businesses.
We have in the past supplemented, and may in the future supplement, our internal growth by acquiring businesses and licensing technologies that complement or augment our existing product lines, such as our acquisitions of Geospiza and CambridgeSoft, each of which was acquired in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, as well as our acquisitions of ArtusLabs, IDB and chemagen, each of which was acquired in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. However, we may be unable to identify or complete promising acquisitions or license transactions for many reasons, including:
| competition among buyers and licensees, |
| the high valuations of businesses and technologies, |
| the need for regulatory and other approval, and |
| our inability to raise capital to fund these acquisitions. |
Some of the businesses we acquire may be unprofitable or marginally profitable. Accordingly, the earnings or losses of acquired businesses may dilute our earnings. For these acquired businesses to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, we would have to improve their management, operations, products and market penetration. We may not be successful in this regard and may encounter other difficulties in integrating acquired businesses into our existing operations, such as incompatible management, information or other systems, cultural differences, unforeseen regulatory requirements, previously undisclosed liabilities or difficulties in predicting financial results. Additionally, if we are not successful in selling businesses we seek to divest, the activity of such businesses may dilute our earnings and we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of such divestitures. As a result, our financial results may differ from our forecasts or the expectations of the investment community in a given quarter or over the long term.
To finance our acquisitions, we may have to raise additional funds, either through public or private financings. We may be unable to obtain such funds or may be able to do so only on terms unacceptable to us. We may also incur expenses related to completing acquisitions or licensing technologies, or in evaluating potential acquisitions or technologies, which may adversely impact our profitability.
We may not be successful in adequately protecting our intellectual property.
Patent and trade secret protection is important to us because developing new products, processes and technologies gives us a competitive advantage, although it is time-consuming and expensive. We own many United States and foreign patents and intend to apply for additional patents. Patent applications we file, however, may not result in issued patents or, if they do, the claims allowed in the patents may be narrower than what is needed to protect fully our products, processes and technologies. Similarly, applications to register our trademarks may not be granted in all countries in which they are filed. For our intellectual property that is protected by keeping it secret, such as trade secrets and know-how, we may not use adequate measures to protect this intellectual property.
46
Third parties may also challenge the validity of our issued patents, may circumvent or design around our patents and patent applications, or may claim that our products, processes or technologies infringe their patents. In addition, third parties may assert that our product names infringe their trademarks. We may incur significant expense in legal proceedings to protect our intellectual property against infringement by third parties or to defend against claims of infringement by third parties. Claims by third parties in pending or future lawsuits could result in awards of substantial damages against us or court orders that could effectively prevent us from manufacturing, using, importing or selling our products in the United States or other countries.
If we are unable to renew our licenses or otherwise lose our licensed rights, we may have to stop selling products or we may lose competitive advantage.
We may not be able to renew our existing licenses, or licenses we may obtain in the future, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we lose the rights to a patented or other proprietary technology, we may need to stop selling products incorporating that technology and possibly other products, redesign our products or lose a competitive advantage. Potential competitors could in-license technologies that we fail to license and potentially erode our market share.
Our licenses typically subject us to various economic and commercialization obligations. If we fail to comply with these obligations, we could lose important rights under a license, such as the right to exclusivity in a market. In some cases, we could lose all rights under the license. In addition, rights granted under the license could be lost for reasons out of our control. For example, the licensor could lose patent protection for a number of reasons, including invalidity of the licensed patent, or a third-party could obtain a patent that curtails our freedom to operate under one or more licenses.
If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed.
We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in many areas of our business. We may not be able to compete effectively with all of these competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and periodically enhance our existing products. We anticipate that we may also have to adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors, technologies or market trends may emerge to threaten or reduce the value of entire product lines.
Our quarterly operating results could be subject to significant fluctuation, and we may not be able to adjust our operations to effectively address changes we do not anticipate, which could increase the volatility of our stock price and potentially cause losses to our shareholders.
Given the nature of the markets in which we participate, we cannot reliably predict future sales and profitability. Changes in competitive, market and economic conditions may require us to adjust our operations, and we may not be able to make those adjustments or make them quickly enough to adapt to changing conditions. A high proportion of our costs are fixed, due in part to our research and development and manufacturing costs. As a result, small declines in sales could disproportionately affect our operating results in a quarter. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
| demand for and market acceptance of our products, |
| competitive pressures resulting in lower selling prices, |
| changes in the level of economic activity in regions in which we do business, |
| changes in general economic conditions or government funding, |
| settlements of income tax audits, |
| differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to tax, |
| fluctuations in our effective tax rate, |
47
| changes in industries, such as pharmaceutical and biomedical, |
| changes in the portions of our sales represented by our various products and customers, |
| our ability to introduce new products, |
| our competitors announcement or introduction of new products, services or technological innovations, |
| costs of raw materials, energy or supplies, |
| our ability to execute ongoing productivity initiatives, |
| changes in the volume or timing of product orders, and |
| changes in assumptions used to determine contingent consideration in acquisitions. |
A significant disruption in third-party package delivery and import/export services, or significant increases in prices for those services, could interfere with our ability to ship products, increase our costs and lower our profitability.
We ship a significant portion of our products to our customers through independent package delivery and import/export companies, including UPS and Federal Express in the United States, TNT, UPS and DHL in Europe and UPS in Asia. We also ship our products through other carriers, including national trucking firms, overnight carrier services and the United States Postal Service. If one or more of the package delivery or import/export providers experiences a significant disruption in services or institutes a significant price increase, the delivery of our products could be prevented or delayed. Such events could cause us to incur increased shipping costs that could not be passed on to our customers, negatively impacting our profitability and our relationships with certain of our customers.
Disruptions in the supply of raw materials, certain key components and other goods from our limited or single source suppliers could have an adverse effect on the results of our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
The production of our products requires a wide variety of raw materials, key components and other goods that are generally available from alternate sources of supply. However, certain critical raw materials, key components and other goods required for the production and sale of some of our principal products are available from limited or single sources of supply. We generally have multi-year contracts with no minimum purchase requirements with these suppliers, but those contracts may not fully protect us from a failure by certain suppliers to supply critical materials or from the delays inherent in being required to change suppliers and, in some cases, validate new raw materials. Such raw materials, key components and other goods could usually be obtained from alternative sources with the potential for an increase in price, decline in quality or delay in delivery. A prolonged inability to obtain certain raw materials, key components or other goods is possible and could have an adverse effect on our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers.
The manufacture and sale of products and services may expose us to product liability claims for which we could have substantial liability.
We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims if our products, services or product candidates are alleged or found to have caused injury, damage or loss. We may in the future be unable to obtain insurance with adequate levels of coverage for potential liability on acceptable terms or claims of this nature may be excluded from coverage under the terms of any insurance policy that we can obtain. If we are unable to obtain such insurance or the amounts of any claims successfully brought against us substantially exceed our coverage, then our business could be adversely impacted.
48
If we fail to maintain satisfactory compliance with the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration and other governmental agencies, we may be forced to recall products and cease their manufacture and distribution, and we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties.
Our operations are subject to regulation by different state and federal government agencies in the United States and other countries. If we fail to comply with those regulations, we could be subject to fines, penalties, criminal prosecution or other sanctions. Some of the products produced by our Human Health segment are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration and similar foreign and domestic agencies. These regulations govern a wide variety of product activities, from design and development to labeling, manufacturing, promotion, sales, resales and distribution. If we fail to comply with those regulations or those of similar foreign and domestic agencies, we may have to recall products, cease their manufacture and distribution, and may be subject to fines or criminal prosecution.
Changes in governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or increase our expenses.
We compete in markets in which we or our customers must comply with federal, state, local and foreign regulations, such as environmental, health and safety, and food and drug regulations. We develop, configure and market our products to meet customer needs created by these regulations. Any significant change in these regulations could reduce demand for our products or increase our costs of producing these products.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated and if we fail to comply with its extensive system of laws and regulations, we could suffer fines and penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations which could have a significant adverse effect on the results of our business operations.
The healthcare industry, including the genetic screening market, is subject to extensive and frequently changing international and United States federal, state and local laws and regulations. In addition, legislative provisions relating to healthcare fraud and abuse, patient privacy violations and misconduct involving government insurance programs provide federal enforcement personnel with substantial powers and remedies to pursue suspected violations. We believe that our business will continue to be subject to increasing regulation as the federal government continues to strengthen its position on healthcare matters, the scope and effect of which we cannot predict. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil and criminal damages, fines and penalties, exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, and the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations necessary to operate our business, as well as incur liabilities from third-party claims, all of which could have a significant adverse effect on our business.
Economic, political and other risks associated with foreign operations could adversely affect our international sales and profitability.
Because we sell our products worldwide, our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our sales originating outside the United States represented the majority of our total sales in the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2011. We anticipate that sales from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total sales. In addition, many of our manufacturing facilities, employees and suppliers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results of operations could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
| changes in foreign currency exchange rates, |
| changes in a countrys or regions political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets, |
| longer payment cycles of foreign customers and timing of collections in foreign jurisdictions, |
| trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, |
| differing tax laws and changes in those laws, or changes in the countries in which we are subject to tax, |
49
| adverse income tax audit settlements or loss of previously negotiated tax incentives, |
| differing business practices associated with foreign operations, |
| difficulty in transferring cash between international operations and the United States, |
| difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations, |
| differing labor laws and changes in those laws, |
| differing protection of intellectual property and changes in that protection, |
| increasing global enforcement of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, and |
| differing regulatory requirements and changes in those requirements. |
If we do not retain our key personnel, our ability to execute our business strategy will be limited.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and key management and technical personnel, particularly our experienced engineers, and on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. The competition for these employees is intense. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, there could be a material adverse effect on us should the turnover rates for engineers and other key personnel increase significantly or if we are unable to continue to attract qualified personnel. We do not maintain any key person life insurance policies on any of our officers or employees.
Our success also depends on our ability to execute leadership succession plans. The inability to successfully transition key management roles could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
If we experience a significant disruption in our information technology systems or if we fail to implement new systems and software successfully, our business could be adversely affected.
We rely on several centralized information systems throughout our company to keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, process shipments to customers and operate other critical functions. If we were to experience a prolonged system disruption in the information technology systems that involve our interactions with customers and suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect our business.
Restrictions in our credit facility and outstanding debt instruments may limit our activities.
Our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our 6% senior unsecured notes contain, and future debt instruments to which we may become subject may contain, restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that could otherwise benefit our company. These debt instruments include restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
| pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock, |
| sell assets, |
| incur obligations that restrict their ability to make dividend or other payments to us, |
| guarantee or secure indebtedness, |
| enter into transactions with affiliates, and |
| consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |
50
We are also required to meet specified financial ratios under the terms of our debt instruments. Our ability to comply with these financial restrictions and covenants is dependent on our future performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including factors that are beyond our control such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, changes in technology and changes in the level of competition.
Our failure to comply with any of these restrictions in our amended senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our 6% senior unsecured notes may result in an event of default under either or both of these debt instruments, which could permit acceleration of the debt under either or both debt instruments, and require us to prepay that debt before its scheduled due date.
Our results of operations will be adversely affected if we fail to realize the full value of our intangible assets.
As of April 3, 2011, our total assets included $2.0 billion of net intangible assets. Net intangible assets consist principally of goodwill associated with acquisitions and costs associated with securing patent rights, trademark rights, core technology and technology licenses, net of accumulated amortization. We test certain of these itemsspecifically all of those that are considered non-amortizingat least on an annual basis for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair market value of the reporting unit to which they are assigned. All of our amortizing intangible assets are evaluated for impairment should discrete events occur that call into question the recoverability of the intangible assets.
Adverse changes in our business, adverse changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, or the failure to grow our Human Health and Environmental Health segments may result in impairment of our intangible assets, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our share price will fluctuate.
Over the last several quarters, stock markets in general and our common stock in particular have experienced significant price and volume volatility. Both the market price and the daily trading volume of our common stock may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations and business prospects. In addition to the risk factors discussed above, the price and volume volatility of our common stock may be affected by:
| operating results that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors, |
| the financial performance of the major end markets that we target, |
| the operating and securities price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us, |
| announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors, and |
| changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets. |
Dividends on our common stock could be reduced or eliminated in the future.
On January 24, 2011, we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 that was paid in May 2011. In the future, our Board may determine to reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

(1) | On October 23, 2008, we announced that our Board authorized us to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the Repurchase Program). On August 31, 2010, we announced that our Board had authorized us to repurchase an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2012 unless terminated earlier by our Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, we repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $107.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of April 3, 2011, approximately 6.0 million shares of our common stock remained available for repurchase from the 15.0 million shares authorized by our Board under the Repurchase Program. |
(2) | Our Board has authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to our equity incentive plans. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, we repurchased 55,378 shares of common stock for this purpose. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value. |
