These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation and were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 3, 2014. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or equity.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net after-tax expense charges of $1.3 million to correct prior period items, including a net after-tax charge of $2.8 million related to the fair value of the MedApps Holding Company, Inc., or MedApps, contingent consideration obligations. We consider the adjustments to be immaterial to both the prior period and the current period financial statements.

Certain amounts presented may not recalculate directly, due to rounding.

(2) Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly-liquid cash investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014, our cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.

(3) Restricted Cash

We had restricted cash of $39.2 million and $35.7 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. $28.9 million and $29.4 million of our restricted cash as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, was classified as non-current on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, as it secures a foreign bank loan arrangement that we entered into during the third quarter of 2013 and, under the terms of the loan agreement, is required to remain on deposit for two years.

(4) Inventories

(8) Business Combinations

Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we expensed acquisition-related costs of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we expensed acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense.

Our business acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in goodwill, based on our expectations of synergies and other benefits of combining the businesses. These synergies and benefits include elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of our existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the products of the acquired businesses; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to expand product sales in a cost-efficient manner.

Net assets acquired are recorded at their fair value and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the fair value analysis. We are not aware of any information that indicates the final fair value analysis will differ materially from the estimates. The estimated useful lives of the individual categories of intangible assets were based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over the shorter of the respective lives of the agreement or the period of time the intangible assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. We amortize our finite-lived intangible assets based on patterns on which the respective economic benefits are expected to be realized.

Acquisitions in 2013

(i) Epocal

On February 1, 2013, we acquired Epocal, Inc., or Epocal, located in Ottawa, Canada, a provider of technologies that support blood gas and electrolyte testing at the point of care. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $248.5 million, which consisted of $151.4 million in cash, a $22.1 million settlement of a pre-existing arrangement and a contingent consideration obligation with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $75.0 million. The operating results of Epocal are included in our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment. The amount allocated to goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

(ii) Other acquisitions in 2013

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired the following businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $57.6 million, which included cash payments totaling $28.2 million, a $17.5 million settlement of a pre-existing arrangement, contingent consideration obligations with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $1.3 million, deferred purchase price consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $0.8 million and an $8.0 million bargain purchase gain.

 

    certain assets of PT Mega Medika Mandiri, or Mega Medika, located in South Jakarta, Indonesia, a distributor of infectious disease products to the Indonesian marketplace as well as materials for vaccines to a pharmaceutical customer (Acquired January 2013)

 

    Discount Diabetic, LLC, or Discount Diabetic, located in Phoenix, Arizona, a provider of blood glucose monitoring products, including diabetes testing systems and test strips and other products (Acquired April 2013)

 

    the Medicare fee-for-service assets of Liberty Medical, or the Liberty business, located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, a leading mail order provider of diabetes testing supplies serving the needs of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients (Acquired April 2013)

 

    51% share in Cardio Selfcare B.V., subsequently renamed Alere Health Services B.V., or Alere Health Services, located in Ede, the Netherlands, a developer of innovative software for the healthcare industry that develops and licenses software and sells medical devices to enable patients to perform medical self-care, including thrombosis self-care (Acquired May 2013)

 

    74.9% interest in Pantech Proprietary Limited, or Pantech, located in Durban, South Africa, a supplier of rapid diagnostic test kits, including HIV, malaria, syphilis, drugs of abuse, 10 parameter urine sticks, glucometers and glucose sticks (Acquired July 2013)

 

    Certain assets of Simplex Healthcare, Inc. and its subsidiaries, or Simplex, located in Tennessee, a provider of home delivery of diabetes-related medical supplies and products (Acquired November 2013)

The operating results of Mega Medika, Discount Diabetic, the Liberty business, Alere Health Services, Pantech and Simplex are included in our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment.

Our consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included revenue totaling approximately $11.6 million and $35.4 million, respectively, related to these businesses. Goodwill has been recognized in the Mega Medika, Alere Health Services, Pantech, and Simplex acquisitions and amounted to approximately $2.5 million. The goodwill related to the Mega Medika and Simplex acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes, but the goodwill related to the Pantech and Alere Health Services acquisitions is not.

With respect to our acquisition of the Liberty business, the purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with the excess of the fair value of assets acquired over the purchase price recorded as a bargain purchase gain. The $8.0 million bargain purchase gain has been recorded in other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and is not recognized for tax purposes. The bargain purchase gain resulted from our operating cost structure which we believe will allow us to operate this business more cost effectively than the sellers.

(a) 2014 Restructuring Plans

In 2014, management developed world-wide cost reduction efforts to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies within our professional diagnostics, health information solutions and corporate and other business segments, impacting our U.S. sales force, our global information technology group and certain businesses in Europe and Asia. The following table summarizes the restructuring activities related to our 2014 restructuring plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

We anticipate incurring approximately $2.5 million and $1.0 million in additional costs under our 2014 restructuring plans related to our professional diagnostics and corporate and other business segments, respectively, in the U.S. and Europe. We do not anticipate incurring additional costs under our 2014 restructuring plan relating to our health information solutions segment. We may develop additional plans over the remainder of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, $5.2 million in severance and transition costs arising under our 2014 restructuring plans remain unpaid.

(b) 2013 Restructuring Plans

In 2013, management developed cost reduction efforts within our professional diagnostics business segment, impacting businesses in our U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Additionally, management took steps to improve efficiencies within our health information solutions business segment, including winding down a small portion of this business, which resulted in charges associated with the impairment of related fixed and intangible assets. The following tables summarize the restructuring activities in our professional diagnostics and health information solutions business segments related to our 2013 restructuring plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and since inception (in thousands):

Included in the $35.6 million is $19.0 million related to tender offer consideration and call premium which has been classified within cash flow from financing activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

(11) Fair Value Measurements

We apply fair value measurement accounting to value our financial assets and liabilities. Fair value measurement accounting provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Described below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

(1)  We determine the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from earn-out criteria estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. The measurement is based upon significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of these contingent consideration obligations are recorded as income or expense within operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 16 for additional information on the valuation of our contingent consideration obligations.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt were $3.8 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2014. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of our long-term debt were $3.8 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using market sources that were derived from available market information (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) and may not be representative of actual values that could have been or will be realized in the future.

(14) Related Party Transactions

In May 2007, we completed the formation of Swiss Precision Diagnostics GmbH, or SPD, our 50/50 joint venture with Procter & Gamble, for the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of existing and to-be-developed consumer diagnostic products, outside the cardiology, diabetes and oral care fields. Upon completion of the arrangement to form the joint venture, we ceased to consolidate the operating results of our consumer diagnostic products business related to the joint venture and instead account for our 50% interest in the results of the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

Table of Contents

We had a net receivable from SPD of $1.2 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Included in the $1.2 million receivable balance as of June 30, 2014 is approximately $1.7 million of costs incurred in connection with our 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. Included in the $2.1 million receivable balance as of December 31, 2013 is approximately $1.8 million of costs incurred in connection with our 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. We have also recorded a long-term receivable totaling approximately $11.9 million and $13.2 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, related to the 2008 SPD-related restructuring plans. Additionally, customer receivables associated with revenue earned after the formation of the joint venture was completed have been classified as other receivables within prepaid and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in the amount of $6.7 million and $12.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In connection with the joint venture arrangement, the joint venture bears the collection risk associated with these receivables. Sales to the joint venture under our manufacturing agreement totaled $20.6 million and $41.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $18.2 million and $35.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Additionally, services revenue generated pursuant to the long-term services agreement with the joint venture totaled $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Sales under our manufacturing agreement and long-term services agreement are included in net product sales and services revenue, respectively, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Under the terms of our product supply agreement, SPD purchases products from our manufacturing facilities in China. SPD in turn sells a portion of those tests back to us for final assembly and packaging. Once packaged, a portion of the tests are sold to P&G for distribution to third-party customers in North America. As a result of these related transactions, we have recorded $4.8 million and $9.4 million of trade receivables which are included in accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and $18.7 million and $18.8 million of trade accounts payable which are included in accounts payable on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received $10.8 million in cash from SPD as a return of capital.

Alere (Shanghai) Diagnostics Co., Ltd., or Alere Shanghai, and SPD Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or SPD Shanghai, entered into an entrustment loan arrangement for a maximum of CNY 23 million (approximately $3.7 million at June 30, 2014), in order to finance the latter’s short-term working capital needs, with the Royal Bank of Scotland (China) Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch, or RBS. The agreement governs the setting up of an Entrustment Loan Account with RBS, into which Alere Shanghai deposits certain monies. This restricted cash account provides a guarantee to RBS of amounts borrowed from RBS by SPD Shanghai. The Alere Shanghai RBS account is recorded as restricted cash on Alere Shanghai’s balance sheet and amounted to $1.7 million at June 30, 2014.

(15) Other Arrangements

On February 19, 2013, we entered into an agreement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, or the Gates Foundation, whereby we were awarded a grant by the Gates Foundation in the amount of $21.6 million to support the development and commercialization of a validated, low-cost, nucleic-acid assay for clinical Tuberculosis, or TB, detection and drug-resistance test cartridges and adaptation of an analyzer platform capable of operation in rudimentary laboratories in low-resource settings. In connection with this agreement, we also entered into a loan agreement with the Gates Foundation, or the Gates Loan Agreement, which provides for the making of subordinated term loans by the Gates Foundation to us from time to time, subject to the achievement of certain milestones, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.6 million. Funding under the Gates Loan Agreement will be used in connection with the purchase of equipment for an automated high-throughput manufacturing line and other uses as necessary for the manufacture of the TB and HIV-related products. All loans under the Gates Loan Agreement are evidenced by promissory notes that we have executed and delivered to the Gates Foundation, bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum and, except to the extent earlier repaid by us, mature and are required to be repaid in full on December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2014, we had borrowed no amounts under the Gates Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2014, we had received approximately $11.6 million in grant-related funding from the Gates Foundation, which was recorded as restricted cash and deferred grant funding. The deferred grant funding is classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As qualified expenditures are incurred under the terms of the grant, we use the deferred funding to recognize a reduction of our related qualified research and development expenditures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $0.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of qualified expenditures, for which we reduced our deferred grant funding balance and recorded an offset to our research and development expenses.

(16) Material Contingencies

Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration Obligations

We determine the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted approach derived from the overall likelihood of achieving certain performance targets, including product development milestones or financial metrics. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement, as defined in fair value measurement accounting. The resultant probability-weighted earn-out payments are discounted using a discount rate based upon the weighted-average cost of capital. At each reporting date, we revalue the contingent consideration obligations to the reporting date fair values and record increases and decreases in the fair values as income or expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Increases or decreases in the fair values of the contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of earn-out criteria and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria.

We have contractual contingent purchase price consideration obligations related to certain of our acquisitions, as follows (in thousands):

(17) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income or cash flows upon adoption.

Recently Issued Standards

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, or ASU 2014-12. ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target which affects vesting and which could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 requires 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. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and the method of adoption in the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) — Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, or ASU 2014-08. ASU 2014-08 requires that only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations which has a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results, such as a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment, should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective in the first quarter of 2015. The impact on our consolidated financial statements will be dependent on any transaction that is within the scope of the new guidance.

Recently Adopted Standards

Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists, with limited exceptions. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(18) Equity Investments

We account for the results from our equity investments under the equity method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures, based on the percentage of our ownership interest in the business. Our equity investments primarily include the following:

(a) SPD

We recorded earnings of $1.8 million and $6.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and earnings of $4.2 million and $6.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represented our 50% share of SPD’s net income for the respective periods.

Table of Contents

(b) TechLab

We own 49% of TechLab, Inc., or TechLab, a privately-held developer, manufacturer and distributor of rapid non-invasive intestinal diagnostics tests in the areas of intestinal inflammation, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and parasitology. We recorded earnings of $0.4 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and earnings of $0.5 million and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, in equity earnings of unconsolidated entities, net of tax, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which represented our minority share of TechLab’s net income for the respective periods.

(19) Loss on Disposition

In April 2014, we sold the Glucostabilizer business of Alere Informatics, Inc., which was part of our professional diagnostics reporting unit and business segment, to Medical Decision Network, LLC, or MDN, for $1.1 million in cash proceeds and a $1.5 million note receivable, which we fully reserved for based on our assessment of collectability. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss on disposition of $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The financial results for the Glucostabilizer business are immaterial to our consolidated financial results.

(20) Guarantor Financial Information

Our 7.25% senior notes due 2018, our 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2018, and our 6.5% senior subordinated notes due 2020 are guaranteed by certain of our consolidated 100% owned subsidiaries, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a consolidating basis, Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the related Statements of Operations, Statements of Comprehensive Loss for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for Alere Inc., the Guarantor Subsidiaries and our other subsidiaries, or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The supplemental financial information reflects the investments of Alere Inc. and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.

We have extensive transactions and relationships between various members of the consolidated group. These transactions and relationships include intercompany pricing agreements, intellectual property royalty agreements and general and administrative and research and development cost-sharing agreements. Because of these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties.

For comparative purposes, certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains 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. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the impact of recent changes in our senior management and the anticipated timing of completion of our strategic review, the impact and timing of reductions in operating expenses, and the timing of potential divestures. Actual results or developments could differ materially from those projected in such statements as a result of numerous factors, including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013 and other risk factors identified herein or from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. This report and, in particular, the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, should be read in light of those risks and uncertainties and in conjunction with our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of diagnostic products that deliver rapid and accurate results at the point of care, with particular emphasis in the fields of infectious diseases, cardiometabolic disease and toxicology. Our connected device technologies and health information solutions give providers the ability to speed up and customize treatment by enabling timely access to actionable data from our connected devices and our personal and electronic health record solutions, as well as decision-support software and analytic tools. Through our health information solutions business, we also offer programs for chronic condition management, coagulation monitoring, smoking cessation, pregnancy management, weight loss and healthy living.

On May 5, 2014, our board announced that we were undertaking a comprehensive review of our strategy and operations to identify opportunities to enhance shareholder value, and we engaged a major international management consulting firm to assist us. On June 30, 2014, as part of that review, our board accepted the resignation of Ron Zwanziger as Chief Executive Officer and President and as a member of our board of directors, and appointed Namal Nawana, our Chief Operating Officer, to serve in the additional capacity of Interim Chief Executive Officer and President. Our board expects to engage an executive search firm to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as our chief executive officer on a permanent basis. Also on June 30, 2014, our board accepted the resignations of Jerry McAleer, our Senior Vice President, Research and Development and a director, and David Scott, our Chief Scientific Officer.

While our strategic review is ongoing, we expect that over the course of the next few months our plans will be fully formed and communicated. We have announced the following near-term initiatives:

 

    We have already begun taking steps to rationalize our investment in connected health concepts and technologies and to reduce the substantial negative impact that this investment has had on operating results. We expect these steps to continue and to include efforts to divest certain of our connected health assets. While working through this process, we will balance the need to protect our investments in connected health assets that are essential to the long-term value of our core business with our objective to reduce expenses;

 

    We intend to divest of our health management business; and

 

    We have begun to wind down certain speculative, non-core research and development projects, and intend to reduce overall research and development expenditures.

Financial Highlights

 

    Net revenue decreased by $26.0 million, or 3%, to $737.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $764.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Net revenue decreased by $48.7 million, or 3%, to $1,454.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $1,503.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

    Gross profit decreased by $44.6 million, or 12%, to $339.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $384.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit decreased by $57.6 million, or 8%, to $691.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $748.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

   

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we generated a net loss available to common stockholders of $55.0 million, or $0.67 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $65.9 million, or

$0.81 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we generated a net loss available to common stockholders of $66.4 million, or $0.81 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $58.7 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

    Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes a $35.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the repurchase of our 9% senior subordinated notes.

Results of Operations

Where discussed, results excluding the impact of foreign currency translation are calculated on the basis of local currency results, using foreign currency exchange rates applicable to the earlier comparative period. We believe presenting information using the same foreign currency exchange rates helps investors isolate the impact of changes in those rates from other trends. Our results of operations were as follows:

Net Product Sales and Services Revenue, Total and by Business Segment.

Net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $21.5 million, or 4%, to $578.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $599.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $26.9 million, or 4%, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2014 to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue decreased primarily as a result of lower U.S. revenues from our mail order diabetes business and a $6.8 million decrease in net revenue as a result of our 2013 disposition of Spinreact, partially offset by $8.4 million in non-currency-adjusted incremental revenues attributable to acquisitions. Revenue from mail order diabetes sales decreased by $23.2 million, or 41%, to $33.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $56.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of a reduction in the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services’, or CMS’, reimbursement rates for those products, which became effective on July 1, 2013, the effect of which was partially offset by an increase in patients served from 455,000 as of June 30, 2013 to 778,000 as of June 30, 2014. Revenues in the U.S. were further reduced by continued lower U.S. healthcare utilization levels during the second quarter of 2014 compared to the comparable period in 2013 and by the impact of product returns in our INRatio

business as a result of the recall initiated early in the second quarter of 2014, which adversely impacted revenues by $3.7 million. Net product sales of Alere Triage® meter-based products in the U.S. decreased by $3.1 million to $16.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $19.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of our supply issues, which began in the second quarter of 2012. This decrease in U.S. revenues was partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in flu-related sales between the second quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2014. Revenues from international sales increased by $12.0 million to $289.5 million during the second quarter of 2014 from $277.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 due principally to continued strong performance in India and Africa, which together grew by approximately 21%, which was partially offset by a $21.6 million decrease in revenues from markets in Latin America as a result of a reduction in diabetes revenue in Brazil and a weak dengue season in the region. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the decrease in net product sales from meter-based Triage products in the U.S., the impact of the increase in flu-related sales during the comparable periods, and the decrease in organic revenues from our U.S. mail order diabetes business impacted by the reduction in CMS’ reimbursement rates, the currency-adjusted organic growth for our professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue was approximately $2.5 million, or 0.5%, from the three months ended June 30, 2013 to the three months ended June 30, 2014. New products contributed favorably to our overall adjusted growth rate, with sales of our CD4 products increasing from $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2013 to $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 and Epoc sales increasing from $5.5 million to $6.9 million for the same periods.

Within our professional diagnostics business segment, net product sales and services revenue for our infectious disease business increased by approximately $7.9 million, or 5%, to $165.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $157.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in North American flu-related sales and an overall increase in international sales, as discussed above. Net product sales and services revenue for our toxicology business decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 1%, to $164.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $165.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Net product sales and services revenue for our cardiology business decreased by approximately $16.7 million, or 14%, to $101.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $118.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of the impact of lower U.S. INRatio revenues as a result of the recall initiated early in the second quarter of 2014. Our diabetes business decreased by approximately $23.7 million, or 32%, to $51.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $74.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of the decline in revenue attributable to the reduction in CMS’s reimbursement rates described above, which was partially offset by our recent acquisitions of the Medicare fee-for-service assets of Liberty Medical, or the Liberty business, and Simplex Healthcare, Inc., or Simplex, which contributed a combined net $7.7 million of the non-currency adjusted incremental revenues from our diabetes business. Included in the $51.2 million of revenue from our diabetes business for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $33.0 million of mail order diabetes sales, compared to $56.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $38.8 million, or 3%, to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Excluding the impact of currency translation, net product sales and services revenue from our professional diagnostics business segment decreased by $41.2 million, or 4%, comparing the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue decreased primarily as a result of lower U.S. revenues from our mail order diabetes business, a $24.0 million decrease in our U.S. flu-related net product sales from $36.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $12.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and a $13.2 million decrease in net revenue as a result of our 2013 disposition of Spinreact, partially offset by $29.9 million in non-currency-adjusted incremental revenues attributable to acquisitions. Revenue from mail order diabetes sales decreased by $24.2 million, or 27%, to $65.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $89.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of a reduction in CMS’ reimbursement rates for those products, which became effective on July 1, 2013, the effect of which was partially offset by an increase in patients served from 455,000 as of June 30, 2013 to 778,000 as of June 30, 2014. Revenues in the U.S. were further reduced by continued lower U.S healthcare utilization levels during the first half of 2014 compared to the comparable period in 2013 and by the impact of product returns in our INRatio business as a result of the recall initiated early in the second quarter of 2014, which adversely impacted revenues by $3.7 million. Net product sales of Alere Triage® meter-based products in the U.S. decreased by $1.8 million to $39.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $40.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenues from international sales increased by $33.5 million to $571.0 million during the first half of 2014 from $537.5 million in the second half of 2013 due to continued strong performance in India and Africa, which together grew by approximately 26%, which was partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in revenues from markets in Latin America as a result of a reduction in diabetes revenue in Brazil and a weak dengue season in the region. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the decrease in net product sales from meter-based Triage products in the U.S., the impact of the decrease in flu-related sales during the comparable periods, and the decrease in organic revenues from our U.S. mail order diabetes business impacted by the reduction in CMS’ reimbursement, the currency-adjusted organic growth for our professional diagnostics net product sales and services revenue was approximately $19.9 million, or 2.0%, from the six months ended June 30, 2013 to the six months ended June 30, 2014. New products contributed favorably to our overall adjusted growth rate, with sales of our CD4 products increasing from $7.7 million in the first half of 2013 to 14.3 million in the first half of 2014 and Epoc sales increasing from $10.1 million to $13.7 million for the same periods.

The decrease was primarily due to a larger-than-expected reduction in U.S. healthcare utilization during the first half of 2014, as compared to the first half of 2013, and a $24.0 million decrease in our U.S. flu-related net product sales from $36.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $12.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as discussed above. Net product sales and services revenue for our toxicology business increased by approximately $1.6 million, or 1%, to $316.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $314.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net product sales and services revenue for our cardiology business decreased by approximately $10.0 million, or 4%, to $223.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $233.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily as a result of a decline in sales of our Alere INRatio2 PT/INR professional test strip in the U.S. due to a voluntary recall. Our diabetes business decreased by approximately $23.0 million, or 18%, to $101.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $125.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of the decline in revenue attributable to the reduction in CMS’s reimbursement rates described above, which was partially offset by our recent acquisitions of the Medicare fee-for-service assets of Liberty Medical, or the Liberty business, and Simplex Healthcare, Inc., or Simplex, which contributed a combined net $28.8 million of the non-currency adjusted incremental revenues from our diabetes business. Included in the $101.9 million of revenue from our diabetes business for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $65.3 million of mail order diabetes sales, compared to $89.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net product sales and services revenue from our consumer diagnostics business segment revenue increased by $6.8 million, or 14%, to $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $47.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue primarily resulted from an increase in our manufacturing revenue associated with SPD, as SPD successfully launched the Clearblue Advanced Pregnancy Test with Weeks Estimator product in the U.S. during 2013.

License and Royalty Revenue. License and royalty revenue represents license and royalty fees from intellectual property license agreements with third parties. License and royalty revenue increased by approximately $1.7 million, or 36%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in royalty revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, is primarily a result of higher royalties earned under existing licensing agreements.

License and royalty revenue increased by approximately $2.9 million, or 32%, to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in royalty revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, is primarily a result of higher royalties earned under existing licensing agreements.

Gross Profit and Margin Percentage. Gross profit decreased by $44.6 million, or 12%, to $339.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $384.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, was largely attributed to the decrease in net product sales and services revenue resulting from continued weakness in utilization in our professional diagnostics business segment, coupled with the impact of our recall of INRatio2 test strips and a recall of certain Alere Triage BNP Calibrators for Beckman Coulter Immunoassay Systems, or Triage BNP Calibrators, during the quarter, which included revenue and cost of sales charges totaling $7.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Gross profit decreased by $57.6 million, or 8%, to $691.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $748.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, was largely attributed to the decrease in net product sales and services revenue principally resulting from weak U.S. influenza sales and a larger-than-expected reduction in U.S. healthcare utilization which primarily impacted our U.S. infectious disease revenue, as well as a continued weakness in utilization in our professional business, coupled with the impacts of a recall of INRatio2 test strips and a recall of certain Triage BNP Calibrators during the first half of 2014, which included revenue and cost of sales charges totaling $7.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Cost of net revenue included amortization expense of $16.4 million and $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in the cost of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was a $0.7 million non-cash charge relating to the write-up of inventory to fair value in connection with our acquisition of Epocal. Reducing gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in restructuring charges.

Cost of net revenue included amortization expense of $33.1 million and $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.2 million of non-cash charges relating to the write-up of inventory to fair value in connection with certain acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Reducing gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in restructuring charges.

Overall gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 46% and 48%, respectively, compared to 50% for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The lower gross margin in the current period principally reflects reduced mail order diabetes reimbursement rates noted above, as well as revenue and cost of sales charges of approximately $7.5 million incurred in the quarter in connection with our recall of INRatio2 test strips and our recall of certain Triage BNP Calibrators.

Gross Profit from Net Product Sales and Services Revenue, Total and by Business Segment. Gross profit from net product sales and services revenue decreased by $46.7 million, or 12%, to $334.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $381.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes changed by $24.5 million to a $(6.6) million benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to a $17.9 million provision for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was (11.3)% and 38.0%, respectively. Our effective tax rate is based on projected income (loss), and can change based on projected results and the geographic mix of income (loss). The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 is primarily a result of the following: (i) our forecasted jurisdictional mix of income (loss), (ii) bargain purchase gain recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and (iii) loss entity valuation allowance changes.

The benefit for income taxes changed by $2.5 million to a $(16.5) million benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from a $(19.0) million benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was (20.7)% and (25.6)%, respectively.

The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 is primarily a result of the following: (i) our forecasted jurisdictional mix of income (loss), (ii) losses on contingent consideration fair value adjustments not deductible for tax, (iii) loss entity valuation allowance changes, and (iv) deemed dividends from foreign investments.

Equity Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities, Net of Tax. Equity earnings of unconsolidated entities is reported net of tax and includes our share of earnings in entities that we account for under the equity method of accounting. Equity earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects the following: (i) our 50% interest in SPD in the amount of $1.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively, (ii) our 40% interest in Vedalab S.A., or Vedalab, in the amount of $(0.1) million and $0.1 million, respectively, and (iii) our 49% interest in TechLab, Inc., or TechLab, in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we generated a net loss available to common stockholders of $58.7 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted common share. Net loss available to common stockholders reflects $10.6 million of preferred stock dividends paid during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. See Note 6 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for the calculation of net loss per common share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based upon our current working capital position, current operating plans and expected business conditions, we expect to fund our short- and long-term working capital needs primarily using existing cash and our operating cash flow, and we expect our working capital position to improve as we improve our future operating margins and grow our business through new product and service offerings and by continuing to leverage our strong intellectual property position. Additionally, we remain engaged in discussions concerning divestitures, and we expect that as we complete divestitures we will use net proceeds to reduce our outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2014, we had $398.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $108.3 million was held by domestic subsidiaries and $290.5 million was held by foreign entities. We do not plan to repatriate cash held by foreign entities due to adverse tax implications, including incremental U.S. tax liabilities and potential foreign withholding tax liabilities.

We may also utilize our secured credit facility or other new sources of financing to fund a portion of our capital needs and other commitments, including our contractual contingent consideration obligations and future acquisitions. As of June 30, 2014, we had outstanding borrowings totaling $170.0 million under the $250.0 million revolving line of credit under our secured credit facility, leaving $80.0 million available to us for additional borrowings. The terms and conditions of our outstanding debt instruments also contain covenants which expressly restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and conduct other financings. As of June 30, 2014, we had $3.8 billion in outstanding indebtedness comprised of $2.3 billion under our secured credit facility, including borrowings under our revolving line of credit, $450.0 million of 7.25% senior notes due 2018, $400.0 million of 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2018, $425.0 million of 6.5% senior subordinated notes due 2020, and $150.0 million of 3% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2016. In February 2013, we redeemed the $1.8 million outstanding principal amount of our 7.875% senior notes pursuant to our optional redemption right under the indenture under which the 7.875% senior notes were issued.

If the capital and credit markets experience volatility or the availability of funds is limited, we may incur increased costs associated with issuing debt instruments. In addition, it is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets could be limited by these or other factors at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to refinance maturing debt and/or react to changing economic and business conditions.

Our funding plans for our working capital needs and other commitments may be adversely impacted by unexpected costs associated with potential divestitures, integrating the operations of newly-acquired companies, executing our cost-savings strategies and prosecuting and defending our existing lawsuits and/or unforeseen lawsuits against us. We also cannot be certain that our underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses will be realized. In addition, we intend to continue to make investments in our research and development efforts related to the substantial intellectual property portfolio we own. We may also choose to further expand our research and development efforts and may pursue the acquisition of new products and technologies through licensing arrangements, business acquisitions, or otherwise. We may also choose to make significant investment to pursue legal remedies against potential infringers of our intellectual property rights. If we decide to engage in such activities, or if our operating results fail to meet our expectations, we could be required to seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements. In such event, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may be available only on terms which could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. In addition, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible securities, dilution to then-existing stockholders may result.

Sections 382 and 383 impose an annual limitation on the use of these losses or credits to an amount equal to the value of the company at the time of the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate.

We have recorded a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets related to our NOLs, capital loss and other credits as well as certain of our other deferred tax assets to reflect uncertainties that might affect the realization of such deferred tax assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2014.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2014, our contractual obligations have not changed significantly since December 31, 2013, as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and related allowances, bad debt, inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, including any valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets, contingencies and litigation, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 17 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, regarding the impact of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our market risks, and the ways we manage them, are summarized in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes to our market risks or management of such risks since that date.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management, including the interim CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at that time. We and our management understand nonetheless that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. In reaching their conclusions stated above regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our interim CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date at the “reasonable assurance” level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
