FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IDEXX Laboratories Announces Second Quarter Results

WESTBROOK, Maine, July 24, 2009 — IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), today reported that revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $265.7 million compared to $280.6 million for the second quarter of 2008. Organic revenue growth, as defined below, was 5%. Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $0.55 compared to $0.63 for the same period in the prior year. Excluding incremental EPS that resulted from sales of pharmaceutical products that were subsequently divested or discontinued in 2008, EPS in the second quarter of 2008 would have been $0.54, and thus EPS growth without this contribution was 2%.
 
Organic revenue growth excludes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, which reduced revenue growth by approximately 5%, and revenue from businesses acquired or divested subsequent to the beginning of the prior year period, including pharmaceutical products that were divested in the fourth quarter of 2008. Pharmaceutical revenues and related earnings in the second quarter of 2008 were exceptionally high due to the sale of the remaining inventory of PZI VET® in connection with the discontinuation of that product.
 
“Our second quarter results reflect our continued focus on productivity in the current economic environment,” said Jonathan Ayers, Chief Executive Officer. “Economic weakness reduced pet visits to U.S. veterinary clinics, our largest customer segment, by an estimated 4% year over year, similar to the first quarter of 2009. We nonetheless achieved 5% organic growth during the period. This growth was led by sales of our Catalyst Dx® chemistry analyzers and consumables, which transitioned out of limited launch phase and into full commercialization in the second quarter, per our expectation. We are very pleased with customer adoption of this next generation system in Q2 and the performance of the instrument system in the field. We continue to expect around 2000 placements for the year.”

“We also saw relative strength in certain other business areas, including our laboratory services business, and geographies, such as China.”

“We continue to find efficiencies in our operating expenses while not cutting back on the critical investments that allow us to achieve our objectives, both operational and strategic. Operating expense productivity is becoming a way of life at IDEXX, and is an integral part of our plan for 2009 and beyond.”

 “We also benefited modestly, versus our last guidance in April, from the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the currencies of our international markets. This positive impact from foreign currency exchange in relation to our outlook three months ago, assuming no changes for the balance of the year from levels exhibited over the last two months, causes us to increase our guidance in revenues and EPS slightly for the year.”

Revenue Performance
 
Please refer to the table below entitled “Revenues and Revenue Growth Analysis by Product and Service Categories” in conjunction with the following discussion.
 
Companion Animal Group. Companion Animal Group (“CAG”) revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $217.3 million compared to $230.0 million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in CAG revenue was due primarily to the absence of pharmaceutical product sales in the second quarter of 2009, as noted above, and the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic growth of 5% was largely the result of increased sales of IDEXX VetLab® instruments and consumables, driven by sales of our Catalyst Dx® chemistry analyzer and SNAPshot Dx® analyzer, both of which we began shipping to customers at the end of the first quarter of 2008. To a lesser extent, organic growth also was driven by price increases realized on sales of laboratory and consulting services. The impact of higher IDEXX VetLab® instruments and consumables volumes was partly offset by lower sales volume and lower average unit sales prices for LaserCyte® hematology analyzers.
 
Water. Water segment revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $19.2 million compared to $20.2 million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in Water revenue was due primarily to the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which reduced reported revenue by 7%. Organic growth of 2% was due to the favorable impact of higher average unit sales prices partly offset by lower sales volumes.
 
Production Animal Segment. Production Animal Segment (“PAS”) revenues for the second quarter of 2009 were $19.6 million compared to $21.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in PAS revenue was due primarily to the unfavorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which reduced reported revenue by 10%. Organic growth of 1% was due to the favorable impact of higher average unit sales prices partly offset by lower sales volumes.

Year-to-Date Results
 
Year-to-date revenues were $502.2 million compared to $529.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Organic growth for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 4%.
 
Year-to-date diluted EPS were $0.98 compared to $1.06 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As shown in the reconciliation of non-GAAP diluted EPS to earnings per share in the supplementary table provided below, non-GAAP diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1.04, of which approximately $0.08 per share related to pharmaceutical sales.
 
Additional Operating Results for the Second Quarter
 
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 decreased $12.8 million, or 8%, to $138.4 million from $151.3 million for the second quarter of 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit decreased to 52% from 54%. The decrease in gross profit percentage was due primarily to the absence of higher margin pharmaceutical product sales in the second quarter of 2009, to higher relative sales of lower margin IDEXX VetLab® instruments and laboratory and consulting services, and to higher overall manufacturing costs. These unfavorable impacts were partly offset by the impact of higher selling prices, primarily for laboratory and consulting services.
 
Research and development (“R&D”) expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $16.6 million, or 6% of revenue, compared to $18.3 million, or 6.5% of revenue for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in R&D expense was due primarily to the absence of pharmaceutical business R&D spending in the second quarter of 2009.
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $72.7 million, or 27% of revenue, compared to $74.1 million, or 26% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in SG&A expense resulted primarily from the favorable impact of exchange rates on foreign currency denominated expenses and the absence of pharmaceutical business SG&A spending in the second quarter of 2009. These impacts were partly offset by increases in spending related to information technology, facilities, and other general support functions in the U.S. and Europe.
 
Supplementary Analysis of Results
 
The accompanying financial tables provide more information concerning our revenue and other operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as well as a reconciliation of non-GAAP diluted EPS to earnings per share.

Outlook
 
The Company provides the following updated guidance for the full year of 2009. This guidance reflects an assumption that the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies will remain, for the balance of 2009, at levels exhibited for the past two months. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates from current levels could have a significant positive or negative impact on our actual results of operations in 2009.
 
 
·
Revenues are expected to be approximately $1.02 billion, which represents relatively flat reported revenues compared to 2008 and organic revenue growth of approximately 5%. This guidance is higher than the previous guidance of approximately $1.0 billion provided in April 2009, driven by currency benefits from the weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to other major currencies since April. Organic revenue growth of 5% is unchanged from our previous guidance.
 
 
·
Diluted EPS are expected to be $1.88 to $1.92, an increase from our previous guidance of $1.86 to $1.90 due principally to the anticipated currency benefits discussed above.
 
 
·
Free cash flow is expected to be approximately 100% of net income.

Management believes adjusted diluted EPS is a useful non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the results of ongoing operations, excluding significant specified events, period over period, and therefore believes that investors may find this information useful in addition to the GAAP results.

We use these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's comparative financial performance. The specified items that are excluded in these non-GAAP measures are actual charges and benefits that impact net income and cash flows, however, we believe that it is useful to evaluate our core business performance period over period excluding these specified items, in addition to relying upon GAAP financial measures.

(1) We believe that certain significant discrete income tax items create impacts on financial measures that are not indicative of future performance because the items are not likely to recur within a reasonable period. For 2008, the separately identified discrete income tax benefit was due to a reduction in international deferred tax liabilities due to lower anticipated international tax rates.

(2) The sum of the individual items may not equal the non-GAAP measurement due to rounding of the individual items in this presentation.

  Free cash flow indicates the cash generated from operations and tax benefits attributable to stock option exercises, reduced by investments in fixed assets. We feel free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in fixed assets that are required to operate the business.  We believe this is a common financial measure useful to further evaluate the results of operations.
