    DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortrea (NASDAQ:FTRE) (the "Company"), a leading global contract research organization ("CRO"), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    "Fortrea continues to make progress with customers and our business, which is not reflected in the headline numbers," said Tom Pike, chairman and CEO of Fortrea. "We won some important opportunities this quarter. We have increased our focus as an innovative, global pure-play clinical services organization. We have now exited 60 percent of our Transition Services Agreement and are making good progress on the most difficult part, the IT systems, and managing the related one-time costs. We have reduced our debt. We have our margin improvement actions in focus. We are transforming. I'm confident we're headed in the right direction to deliver value for all our stakeholders, delivering solutions that bring new treatments to patients faster."

    All commentary in this press release relates to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

    Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

    Revenue for the second quarter was $662.4 million, compared to $725.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

    Second quarter GAAP net loss was $(99.3) million and diluted loss per share was $(1.11) compared to second quarter of 2023 GAAP net income of $25.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.28. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $55.2 million, compared to second quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $71.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially by 103.7% in the quarter.

    Backlog as of June 30, 2024, was $7.366 billion, and the book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 0.96x.

    First Half 2024 Financial Results

    Revenue for the first half was $1,324.5 million, compared to $1,419.0 million in the first half of 2023.

    First half GAAP net loss was $(179.1) million and diluted loss per share was $(2.01) compared to first half of 2023 GAAP net income of $33.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.37. First half adjusted EBITDA was $82.3 million, compared to first half of 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $118.7 million.

    The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $126.2 million, and gross debt was $1,142.0 million on June 30, 2024. Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $248.1 million, and free cash flow was $227.6 million.

    Full-Year 2024 Guidance

    For the full year 2024, the Company is revising its revenue guidance to a range of $2,700 million to $2,750 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $220 million to $240 million. The reduction in revenue is primarily due to lower pass-through revenues and, to a lesser extent, lower service-fee revenues in the second half as a result of lower net new business in the first half of 2024. The update to the adjusted EBITDA range is driven by the lower service-fee revenues. The guidance assumes foreign currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2023, remain in effect for the forecast period and has been updated to reflect revised anticipated performance.

    Earnings Call and Replay

    Fortrea will host its quarterly conference call on Monday, August 12, 2024, at 9:00 am ET to review its second quarter performance.

    Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, the Company's 2024 financial guidance, exiting the remainder of the Transition Services Agreements and realizing the benefits of our margin improvement actions.

For a further discussion of the risks relating to the Company's business, see the "Risk Factors" Section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as such factors may be amended or updated from time to time in the Company's subsequent periodic and other filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in the Company's filings with the SEC. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data. All forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this release and the Company does not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

    Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This release includes information based on financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Basic and Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented only as a supplement to the Company's financial statements based on GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance understanding of the Company's financial performance, but none of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP, and non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

    The Company uses non-GAAP measures in its operational and financial decision making and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a more meaningful indicator of the underlying operating performance of the business. For example, in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes all the amortization of intangible assets associated with acquired customer relationships and backlog, databases, non-compete agreements and trademarks, trade names and other from non-GAAP expense and income measures as such amounts can be significantly impacted by the timing and size of acquisitions. Although the Company excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets from the Company's non-GAAP expenses, the Company believes that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining net income attributable to the Company. As a result, internal management reports feature non-GAAP measures which are also used to prepare strategic plans and annual budgets and review management compensation. The Company also believes that investors may find non-GAAP financial measures useful for the same reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures.

    The non-GAAP financial measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the schedules attached to this release for relevant definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained herein to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company's full-year 2024 guidance measures (other than revenue) are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, stock-based compensation and other items not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

    Non-GAAP measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to the Company, many of which present non-GAAP measures when reporting their results. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool. They are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, are not measures of financial condition or liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance with GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider such performance measures in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.
