NEOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the
six-month
period ended November 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018. For more complete financial information, these consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the May 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form
10-K
for the
year ended May 31, 2017.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. The Food Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and
marketing of diagnostic test kits, dehydrated culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. The Animal Safety segment is
primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of products dedicated to animal safety, including a complete line of consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors; this segment also provides
genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services. Additionally, the Animal Safety segment produces and markets rodenticides, disinfectants and insecticides to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around
agricultural, food production and other facilities.
Neogens international operations in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, China, and India
originally focused on the Companys Food Safety products, and each of these units reports through the Food Safety segment. In recent years, these operations have expanded to offer the Companys complete line of products and services,
including those usually associated with the Animal Safety segment such as cleaners, disinfectants, rodenticides, insecticides, veterinary instruments and genomic services. These additional products and services are managed and directed by existing
management, and are reported through the Food Safety segment.
The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

During the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $1,264,000 and $1,218,000
and $2,666,000 and $2,734,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to its share-based awards. On June 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU
No. 2016-09,
which simplifies the accounting for
share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires the recognition of the income effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional
paid-in
capital
pools. The guidance also allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than on an estimated basis, and requires that excess tax benefits be classified as an operating activity on the Statement of Cash Flows. The
Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The adoption of this ASU reduced income tax expense by $3,418,000 and $3,794,000 for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2017.
The weighted-average fair value per share of stock options granted during fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model was $14.69 and $11.84, respectively. The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.
2014-09Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. The new standard outlines a
single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is
that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard
is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2016-10
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends and adds clarity to certain aspects of the guidance set forth in ASU
2014-09
related to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance permits two methods of adoption; a full
retrospective method to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has formed an internal team
to implement this ASU and is currently identifying revenue streams and reviewing contracts at each significant subsidiary and evaluating the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt
this ASU on June 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
10
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-02Leases
to increase
transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a
liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a
right-of-use
asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The recognition,
measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessor have not significantly changed from previous U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods,
beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Modified retrospective application is permitted with certain practical expedients. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on June 1, 2019 and is currently in the process of
evaluating its lessee and lessor arrangements to determine the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This evaluation includes a review of revenue through leasing arrangements as well as lease
expenses, which are primarily through operating lease arrangements at most of the Companys facilities.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-09
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee
Share-Based Payment
Accounting to provide guidance that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are
settled, thus eliminating additional
paid-in
capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employees shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability
accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning
after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective June 1, 2017; this resulted in a reduction of federal income tax expense of $3,418,000 and $3,794,000 for the three and six month periods
ended November 30, 2017. The Company believes that tax benefits related to share-based payments will result in a lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2018.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-13Measurement
of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which
changes how companies measure credit losses on most financial instruments measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, such as loans, receivables and held-
to-maturity
debt securities. Rather than
generally recognizing credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred, the revised guidance requires companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial
instrument and the amount of amortized cost the Company expects to collect over the instruments contractual life. ASU
2016-13
is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and
must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-15
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
(a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in ASU
2016-15
address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU
2016-15
are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption during an interim period. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the impact of ASU
No. 2016-15
on its consolidated financial statements.
7. BUSINESS AND PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITIONS
The Consolidated Statements of Income reflect the results of operations for business acquisitions since the respective dates of purchase. All are accounted for
using the acquisition method. Goodwill recognized in the acquisitions discussed below relates primarily to enhancing the Companys strategic platform for the expansion of available product offerings.
On December 1, 2016, the Company acquired the stock of Quat-Chem Ltd., a chemical Company that manufactures biosecurity products, based in Rochdale,
England. Consideration for the purchase was $21,606,000 in cash and up to $3,778,000 of contingent consideration, due at the end of each of the first two years, based on an excess net sales formula. The final purchase price allocation, based upon
the fair value of these assets and liabilities determined using the income approach, included accounts receivable of $4,684,000, inventory of $1,243,000, land, property and equipment of $2,526,000, accounts payable of $2,197,000, deferred tax
liability of $1,133,000, contingent consideration accrual of $1,058,000, other current liabilities of $604,000,
non-amortizable
intangible assets of $1,889,000, intangible assets of $6,900,000 (with an
estimated life of
5-15
years) and the remainder to goodwill
(non-deductible
for tax purposes). These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. This business
continues to operate in its current location and is managed by Neogen Europe, reporting within the Food Safety segment.
On December 27, 2016, the
Company acquired the stock of Rogama Industria e Comercio, Ltda., a Company that develops and manufactures rodenticides and insecticides, based near Sao Paulo, Brazil. Consideration for the purchase was $12,423,000 in cash and
11
up to $2,069,000 of contingent consideration, due at the end of each of the first two years, based on an excess net sales formula. The preliminary purchase price allocation included accounts
receivable of $1,863,000, inventory of $1,026,000, property and equipment of $1,840,000, current liabilities of $2,177,000, contingent consideration accrual of $430,000,
non-current
deferred tax liability of
$1,307,000,
non-amortizable
intangible assets of $591,000, intangible assets of $3,252,000 (with an estimated life of
5-15
years) and the remainder to goodwill
(deductible for tax purposes). These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. This business continues to operate in its current location and is managed by Neogen do Brasil, reporting within the Food Safety segment.
On September 1, 2017 the Company acquired the assets of The University of Queensland Animal Genetics Laboratory, an animal genomics laboratory located
near Brisbane, Australia. This acquisition is intended to accelerate the growth of the Companys animal genomics business in Australia and New Zealand. Consideration for the purchase was $2,063,000; $468,000 has been paid in cash with the
remainder due in annual installments over the next five years. The preliminary purchase price allocation included inventory of $19,000, equipment of $419,000, long-term liabilities of $1,629,000, intangible assets of $850,000 (with an estimated life
of
5-15
years) and the remainder to goodwill
(non-deductible
for tax purposes). These values are Level 3 fair value measurements. The new business, renamed GeneSeek
Australasia, continues to operate in its current location, reporting within the Animal Safety segment.
8. LONG TERM DEBT
The Company has a financing agreement with a bank providing for an unsecured revolving line of credit of $15,000,000, which expires on September 30, 2019.
There were no advances against the line of credit during fiscal 2017 and there have been none thus far in fiscal 2018; there was no balance outstanding at November 30, 2017. Interest on any borrowings remained at LIBOR plus 100 basis points
(rate under the terms of the agreement was 2.35% at November 30, 2017). Financial covenants include maintaining specified levels of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, each of which the Company was in
compliance with at November 30, 2017.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in environmental remediation and monitoring activities at its Randolph, Wisconsin, manufacturing facility and accrues for related costs
when such costs are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company expenses annual costs of remediation, which have ranged from $38,000 to $57,000 per year over the past five years. The Companys estimated liability for these costs was
$916,000 at November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years; $54,000 of the liability is recorded within current liabilities and the remainder is recorded within other
non-current
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company is subject to certain legal and other
proceedings in the normal course of business that, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect on its future results of operations or financial position.
10. STOCK PURCHASE
The Company has a stock repurchase
program, authorized by the Board of Directors in calendar year 2008, to purchase, subject to market conditions, up to 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock. As of November 30, 2017, 1,350,632 shares were available to be
repurchased under the program. There were no purchases in fiscal year 2017 and there have been none thus far in fiscal 2018.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.
|
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
The
information in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains both historical financial information and forward-looking statements. Neogen does not provide forecasts of future financial
performance. While management is optimistic about the Companys long-term prospects, historical financial information may not be indicative of future financial results.
Safe Harbor and Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, are made throughout this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward looking
statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words believes, anticipates, plans, expects, seeks, estimates, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors, including competition, recruitment and dependence on key employees, impact of weather on agriculture and food production, identification and integration of acquisitions, research and development
risks, patent and trade secret protection, government regulation and other risks detailed from time to time in the Companys reports on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could cause Neogen Corporations results to differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In addition, any forward-looking statements represent managements views only as of the day this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
was first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as representing managements views as of any subsequent date. While management may elect to update
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its views change.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based on the
consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to
receivable allowances, inventories, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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.
There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations or contingent liabilities and commitments disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on
Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.
The Company adopted ASU
No. 2016-09
related to share-based compensation on June 1, 2017. There have been no other material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the Companys Annual
Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

Executive Overview
Revenues for the Company for the second quarter ended November 30, 2017 were $101.8 million, an increase of 12%, or $11.1 million, compared to
revenues of $90.7 million for the same period in the prior year. For the year to date period, revenues were $197.1 million, an increase of 13%, or $22.7 million, compared to revenues of $174.4 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2017. Net income attributable to Neogen for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 increased 53% to $17.1 million, compared to $11.2 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted for a
4-for-3
stock split effective December 29, 2017, earnings per share in the current year second quarter were $0.33 compared to $0.22 per share in the prior year. Net earnings were favorably impacted by
excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises totaling $3.4 million for the quarter. For the first six months of the current fiscal year, net income attributable to Neogen increased 38% to $29.0 million, or $0.56 per fully diluted
share, compared to $21.0 million, or $0.41, in the same period in fiscal 2017. Net earnings were favorably impacted by excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises totaling $3.8 million for the year to date period.
For the three month period ended November 30, 2017, Food Safety segment revenues increased 21% and Animal Safety segment revenues increased 5%, each
compared to the same period in the prior year. For the quarter, the overall organic sales increase was 6%; organic growth in the Food Safety and Animal Safety segments was 9% and 4%, respectively. The acquisitions of Quat-Chem and Rogama, both in
December 2016, and GeneSeek Australasia, in September 2017, contributed $5.3 million to the overall revenue growth in the second quarter. Overall organic sales increased 8% for the year to date period; the organic increases were 9% for the Food
Safety segment and 7% for the Animal Safety segment. The previously discussed acquisitions contributed $9.5 million to the overall sales increase for the six month period.
International sales were $38.6 million in the second quarter, an increase of 24% compared to the prior year. Expressed as a percentage of sales,
international sales were 37.9% compared to 34.4% in the second quarter of the prior year. For the six month period, international sales were $73.1 million, an increase of 21%; international sales were 37.1% of total sales in the current year to
date period and 34.6% in the prior year. For each comparative period, international revenue increases were the result of the acquisitions of Quat-Chem (England), Rogama (Brazil) and GeneSeek Australasia (Australia), and to a lesser extent, revenue
increases at previously existing Company locations. Currency translation had a positive effect on international revenues of approximately $900,000 in the second quarter as the pound, euro, real and peso strengthened against the dollar; for the year
to date period, the positive impact was $800,000.
Neogen Europe sales increased 15% in U.S. dollars in the second quarter compared to the prior year; for
the six month period, sales increased 8%. For the quarter, a 44% increase in genomics revenues offset lower mycotoxin sales, as last years deoxynivalenol (DON) outbreak in corn crops in western Europe, primarily France and Germany, did not
repeat in the current year; for the year to date period, genomics sales increased 31% and helped to offset lower DON sales. Sales at Lab M, the Companys subsidiary in England, increased 22% in the second quarter and rose 27% for the six month
period, as its culture media products were integrated into Neogens global sales and marketing efforts.
Neogen Latinoamerica recorded a sales
increase of 36% in the second quarter, despite termination of a distribution agreement for cleaner and disinfectant products which occurred earlier in the calendar year. Food Safety products increased 25% and Animal Safety products increased 20%,
with broad-based gains recorded in both categories. Additionally, genomics had a significant increase in the current quarter, as a large research project conducted for the beef industry was completed during this period. For the year to date period,
sales increased 18% with increases in genomics and Food Safety products offsetting a $700,000 decrease in sales of agricultural cleaners and disinfectants, resulting from the terminated distribution agreement. Neogen do Brasil revenues increased 22%
in the quarter and 30% for the year; for both periods, increased sales of mycotoxin and dairy drug residue test kits offset a decrease in forensic test kit sales resulting from increased competition and customer losses caused by conversion to
different testing methods. Neogen China sales increased 23% in the second quarter and 17% for the year to date period, each compared to the same periods in the prior year, led by increased sales of the Companys Acumedia and Lab M brands of
culture media, allergen test kits and genomics services. Revenues for Neogen India rose 48% for the quarter and 38% for the year to date, each off a small base, on higher sales of Animal Safety products for each period and stronger Food Safety kit
sales for the year to date period.
Service revenue was $16.2 million in the quarter ended November 30, 2017, an increase of $2.5 million,
or 18%, compared to $13.8 million in the second quarter of the prior year. For the year to date period, service revenue increased $5.8 million, or 23%, to $30.9 million, compared to the prior year. The growth, for both the quarter and
year to date periods, was led by increases in sales to the global cattle and companion animal markets, increased testing volumes with a large poultry customer, and to a lesser extent, revenues from the acquisition of GeneSeek Australasia, in
September 2017.

The Companys Food Safety segment revenues were $49.6 million in the quarter ended November 30, 2017, an
increase of 21% compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six month period, Food Safety revenues increased 20% to $96.3 million. Organic growth for the segment was 9% for both the quarter and year to date periods, with the
acquisitions of Quat-Chem and Rogama, each occurring in December 2016, contributing the remainder of the growth.
Natural Toxins, Allergens &
Drug Residues sales were flat in the second quarter; revenues for the year to date period increased 4%. Sales of drug residue test kits, primarily used to detect the presence of antibiotics in raw milk, increased 18% in the second quarter as new
products gained traction, particularly in international markets; for the year to date, dairy drug residue test kit revenues rose 9%. Allergen test kit sales rose 9% in the quarter and 13% for the six month period, as continued product recalls
relating to allergenic contamination of food continued to expand the market. Sales of test kits to detect the presence of natural toxins in grain crops decreased 11%; aflatoxin test kit sales increased 13% due to moderate outbreaks in U.S. and
Brazilian corn crops while sales of deoxynivalenol (DON) decreased 34% as prior year outbreaks of DON in corn crops in the U.S., Canada and Europe did not recur in the current year. For the year to date, sales of natural toxin test kits decreased
2%.
15
Bacterial & General Sanitation sales rose 11% and 9%, for the three and six month periods ended
November 30, 2017, respectively. Within this category, the Companys AccuPoint sanitation monitoring product line increased 23% for the quarter and 19% for the year to date, on sales strength in both reader equipment and consumable
samplers. Sales of test kits to detect pathogens increased 14% in the second quarter, led by strength in
Listeria
products, including the Companys new
Listeria
Right Now test kit that launched earlier in the fiscal year; pathogen
sales increased 10% on a year to date basis. Revenues for the Companys consumable product lines to detect spoilage organisms in processed foods increased 8% and 5% for the quarter and year to date periods, respectively. Dehydrated Culture
Media & Other sales increased 16% in the quarter ended November 30, 2017, led by a 26% increase of worldwide Lab M sales and an 18% increase in the Companys line of Acumedia dehydrated culture media. Year to date, sales in this
category increased 13%.
Rodenticides, Insecticides & Disinfectants products sold through the Companys Food Safety operations recorded
revenues of $6.1 million for the quarter compared to $1.1 million in last years second quarter; for the six month period, sales were $10.8 million compared to $2.0 million in the prior year. The increase was the result of
revenues generated by Rogama and Quat-Chem, acquisitions completed in the second half of the 2017 fiscal year. The increase was partially offset by termination of a distribution agreement in January 2017, which resulted in a decline in sales for
those distributed products of $283,000 in the second quarter and $716,000 for the year to date. Genomics Services revenue recorded in the Food Safety segment increased 44% and 37% for the three and six month periods, respectively, due primarily to
growth of these services in Europe and Mexico.
Sales for the Companys Animal Safety segment were $52.3 million in the second quarter, an
increase of 5% over the same quarter a year ago. Revenues for the six month period increased 7% to $100.8 million compared to $94.2 million in the prior year. Organic growth in this segment was 4% and 7% in the three and six month periods,
respectively; the GeneSeek Australasia acquisition in September 2017 contributed the remainder of the growth. Sales of Life Sciences products decreased 10% in the second quarter and 2% for the year to date period; the decrease in the second quarter
is due to order timing of forensic test kits from a domestic commercial lab and increased competition.
Veterinary Instruments & Disposables
revenues increased 21% in the three months ended November 30, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year; year to date sales in this category rose by 15%. For both periods, the increase is primarily the result of strength in detectable
needles, syringes and animal marking products. Animal Care & Other sales increased 6% in the second quarter and rose 8% in the six month period due to market share gains of vitamin injectables and increased sales of vaccines to a large
distributor; additionally, last years results included sales credits totaling $1.1 million in the first quarter as the Company removed its popular canine thyroid replacement product from its distribution channels, after the FDA approved a
new drug application for a competitive product.
Rodenticides, Insecticides & Disinfectant sales decreased 5% in the quarter and 3% for the year
to date period, as the termination of a distribution agreement with a manufacturer of cleaners and disinfectants in January 2017 resulted in lost sales of $1.6 million in the second quarter of the current fiscal year and $2.5 million for
the year to date period. These losses were offset by a 14% increase in rodenticide sales in the second quarter as the Company gained incremental business with several large customers; year to date sales rose by 9%. Genomics services revenues
reported through the Animal Safety segment increased 12% in the quarter ended November 30, 2017 and 19% for the year to date period. Sales to the beef and dairy cattle, poultry and companion animal markets continued to experience strong growth,
the result of focused sales and marketing efforts in these areas.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 48.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to 48.1% in the same quarter a year ago. Gross margins were positively impacted by
improved cost inputs at the Companys genomics operations; this improvement was somewhat offset by mix changes resulting from the three most recent acquisitions (Quat-Chem, Rogama, and GeneSeek Australasia), all of which have gross margins that
are lower than the historical average for the Company. Gross margin for the six month period ended November 30, 2017 was 48.3% compared to 48.2% in the same period of the prior year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were
$31.3 million in the second quarter, compared to $26.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of $4.6 million, or 17%. Sales and marketing expense increased $2.1 million, or 14%, primarily due to increases in
salaries and related personnel costs and shipping expense, which was consistent with the increase in revenues. Approximately $620,000 of the increase is due to the three most recent acquisitions. General and administrative expense increased
$2.2 million, or 27%, in the second quarter; recent acquisitions contributed approximately $715,000 of incremental expense, including the amortization of acquired
16
intangible assets. Additional increases were for salaries and investment in information technology, primarily from depreciation of equipment and outside contracted services. Research and
development expense increased 7% in the second quarter, primarily from increases in personnel related expenses and outside contracted services related to new product development. For the year to date, research and development expenses increased 11%.
Operating expenses for the six month period were $60.7 million, an increase of 16% over the same period last fiscal year. The recent acquisitions accounted for $2.6 million of the increase.
Operating Income
Operating income was $18.0 million
in the second quarter, an increase of $1.1 million, or 7%, compared to operating income of $16.9 million in the prior year. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, operating income was 17.7% compared to 18.6% in last years second
quarter. The decline in operating margin percentage was due to the overall percentage increase in operating expenses, offset somewhat by higher gross margins. For the six month period, operating income was $34.4 million, an increase of
$2.8 million, or 9%, compared to operating income of $31.6 million in the prior year. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, year to date operating income was 17.5% of sales compared to 18.1% in the prior year.
Other Income and Income Tax
Other income in the second
quarter of fiscal 2018 was $1.1 million compared to a loss of $80,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. Components of other income in this years second quarter included $497,000 of currency gains, $429,000 of interest income and
$75,000 of royalty income. Last years fiscal second quarter included currency losses of $424,000, partially offset by interest income of $296,000 and $22,000 of royalty income. For the year to date period, other income was $1.9 million,
primarily comprised of $962,000 of currency gains, $798,000 of interest income and $75,000 of royalty income. For the same period in fiscal 2017, other income was $412,000, which included interest income of $420,000 and royalty income of $67,000,
partially offset by currency losses of $178,000.
Income tax expense in the second quarter was $1.9 million, an effective tax rate of 10%, compared
to prior year second quarter expense of $5.6 million, an effective tax rate of 33%. The current fiscal year second quarter includes a credit of $3.4 million resulting from excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options due to the
adoption of ASU
2016-09;
refer to Note 6 of the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Also in the second quarter, an IRS examination of the Companys federal income tax
returns for fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016 was concluded. As a result of the favorable outcome of the audit, the Company reversed a total of $816,000 from its reserve for uncertain tax positions, which had originally been accrued in prior fiscal
years, with a corresponding credit to federal income tax expense. For the first six months of fiscal 2018, income tax expense was $7.2 million compared to $10.9 million in the prior year; the year to date effective tax rate was 20%,
compared to an effective tax rate of 34% in the prior fiscal year. For the year to date period, the Company recorded a total credit of $3.8 million to federal income tax expense for excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, due to
the adoption of ASU
2016-09.
Net Income
Net income attributable to Neogen increased 53% from $11.2 million to $17.1 million for the three month period ended November 30, 2017. For the
year to date period, net income was $29.0 million, a 38% increase over prior year net income of $21.0 million.
Financial Condition and
Liquidity
The overall cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position of the Company was $175.8 million at November 30, 2017
compared to $143.6 million at May 31, 2017. Approximately $27.4 million was generated from operations during the first six months of fiscal 2018. Net cash proceeds of $16.4 million were realized from the exercise of stock options
and issuance of shares under the Companys employee stock purchase plan during the same period. The Company spent $10.4 million for property, equipment and other
non-current
assets during the first
six months of fiscal 2018.
Accounts receivable balances were $74.9 million at November 30, 2017, an increase of $6.3 million, or 9%,
compared to $68.6 million at May 31, 2017. Days sales outstanding, a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables, were 62 days at November 30, 2017 compared to 60 days at May 31, 2017. All customer accounts are
actively managed and no losses in excess of amounts reserved are currently expected.
Net inventory balances were $73.7 million at November 30,
2017, compared to $73.1 million at May 31, 2017. The Company actively monitors its inventory, and balances the need for adequate product availability to minimize backorders with a desire to improve inventory turnover and efficiency levels.
Formal programs have been instituted in fiscal 2018 to improve inventory turnover.
17
Inflation and changing prices are not expected to have a material effect on operations, as management believes it will continue to be successful in offsetting increased input costs with price
increases and/or cost efficiencies.
Management believes that the Companys existing cash and marketable securities balances at November 30,
2017, along with available borrowings under its credit facility and cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future. However, existing cash and borrowing capacity may not be
sufficient to meet the Companys cash requirements to commercialize products currently under development or its plans to acquire other organizations, technologies or products that fit within the Companys mission statement. Accordingly,
the Company may choose to issue equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of its future financing needs.
