“2008 was a very successful year for QIAGEN in which we achieved significant revenue growth, exceeding our expectations. We executed on our strategy and significantly increased our technology and market leadership in all our target customer segments”, said Peer Schatz, QIAGEN’s Chief Executive Officer. “The launches of more than 80 new products in 2008 contributed 5% to 2008 net sales growth and are a testament to QIAGEN’s focus on differentiating by innovation. New products included innovative sample and assay technologies

 

   

For research in the application areas including epigenetics, gene expression, micro RNA, genotyping, RNAi;

 

   

For use in all customer segments, such as academia, pharmaceutical R&D, applied testing and molecular diagnostics; and

 

   

In the form of consumables and related instrumentation, such as the QIAsymphony SP - the first module of a novel modular processing platform integrating entire workflows in molecular processing – a new platform launch that we are very pleased with.

Our full pipeline of new products and a strong strategic position build a solid basis for our success in 2009 and beyond.”

“We expect a number of exciting new market introductions in 2009. These include a further expansion of our sample and assay technology portfolio for research in applied testing and molecular diagnostics with the clear goal of adding even more regulated products to our portfolio.” Mr. Schatz added. “Our pipeline of automated solutions for our sample and assay technologies is exceptionally strong. In January we already launched or announced several new products:

 

   

EZ1 Advanced XL, a fully automated sample technology system which can process and purify target analytes from up to 14 samples running on pre-programmed protocols and pre-filled cartridges;

QIAgility, a highly versatile assay set-up unit for assay technologies such as PCR;

 

   

Rotor-Gene Q, QIAGEN’s new and technology leading real-time PCR cycler; and

 

   

The next module of QIAsymphony, QIAsymphony AS, a fully integrated assay set-up unit for the QIAsymphony platform which takes this platform one significant step closer towards being a fully integrated, random access and continuous load molecular testing solution.”

“Our acquisition strategy remains focused, consistent and value-creating, providing complementary technologies, new commercial capabilities and/or geographic reach. For example, we further strengthened our market and technology leadership by adding assay technology set-up instrumentation and real-time PCR assay analysis technology to QIAGEN’s instrumentation platform through the acquisition of Corbett in July 2008. With the acquisition of the BioSystems business from Biotage in October 2008, we added the Pyrosequencing technology, a fundamental assay technology for high-resolution sequence detection and quantification of gene variations which we believe will play a very important role in epigenetics as well as multiplex genetic and pathogen detection. Our molecular ‘sample to result’ solutions for customers in molecular diagnostics, applied testing, pharma and academic research, now for the first time span from sample to result across many different forms of assay detection technologies—from qualitative/endpoint PCR, multiplex technologies and capillary electrophoresis to quantitative and high resolution, sequence-based analysis and cover a broad range of throughput needs.”

“2008 was a very successful year for QIAGEN - we achieved our strong financial results while experiencing significant strategic momentum. I would like to thank our employees around the world for their contributions to our performance and their strong commitment to build the basis for a long-term success for QIAGEN.”

“QIAGEN experienced an exciting fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008. Reported revenues for the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year exceeded our expectations. We experienced a strong adjusted operating margin increase to 28% from 25% in fiscal year 2007 which corresponds to a growth rate of 54% year over year reflecting achievements of cost synergies following the acquisition of Digene,” said Roland Sackers, QIAGEN’s Chief Financial Officer.

“Revenue growth for fiscal year 2008 was 37% and was fueled by a strong organic growth of 13% and a positive contribution from acquisitions of 22% at constant currencies,” Roland Sackers continued. “Our sample and assay portfolio grew 36% (34% at constant exchange rates) driven by strong growth of sales of our products to customers in molecular diagnostics. QIAGEN’s instrumentation business recorded a very strong growth rate of 51% (52% at constant exchange rates) mainly based on the new instruments (QIAsymphonySP and QIAxcel) as well as a strong demand for the Rotor-Gene real-time PCR cycler and the CAS instrument following the Corbett acquisition. Net sales in the Americas in fiscal year 2008 represented 50% of our overall business and recorded a growth rate of 49% while European sales, which represent 37% of our revenues, showed a growth rate of 21% (17% at constant exchange rates). Net sales in Asia remained strong, showing a growth rate of 24% (16% at constant exchange rates).”

Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance

Based on foreign currency exchange rates as of January 31, 2009, QIAGEN expects revenues between $920 and $970 million in 2009 and adjusted diluted earnings per share between $0.88 and $0.94. Under constant exchange rates consideration, revenue expectations for 2009 would be between $990 and $1,040 million with a growth rate between 11% and 16% when compared to 2008 and expectations for adjusted diluted earnings per share would be between $0.92 and $0.98 respectively.

Detailed information on the Company’s business, financial performance and expectations will be presented in the Company’s conference call on February 10, 2009 at 9:30am ET. The corresponding presentation slides will be available for download on the Company’s website at www.qiagen.com/goto/ConferenceCall. A webcast of the conference call will be available on the same website at www.qiagen.com/goto/ConferenceCall.

QIAGEN – Sample and Assay Technologies Highlights:

 

   

QIAGEN acquired Corbett Life Science Pty. Ltd., best known for the world’s first rotary real-time PCR cycler system – the Rotor-Gene™ – a system used to detect and measure real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reactions. The Corbett Rotor-Gene real-time PCR cycler is an excellent complement to QIAGEN’s portfolio of current and future molecular testing solutions, including its modular processing platform QIAsymphony.

 

 

 

QIAGEN acquired the BioSystems business from Biotage AB. The BioSystems unit of Biotage is best known for having pioneered Pyrosequencing®, which has become a fundamental technology in next-generation sequencing. In addition, in its widely used standard format (PyroMark systems and consumables) this technology provides the opportunity to read DNA-sequences up to 100 base pairs in real time, high-speed and with very low costs. The PyroMark solutions offer significant value for applications including Epigenetics in research and molecular diagnostics as well as in Multiplex analyses in genetic and pathogen detection.

 

   

QIAGEN introduced the first molecular diagnostic test based on Pyrosequencing for the detection of mutations in the K-ras gene which is associated with the development of colon cancer. QIAGEN expects to launch further versions of this test in Europe (CE-marked) and in the U.S. very shortly.

 

 

 

QIAGEN received additional 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for PreAnalytiX PAXgene Blood RNA System for use on QIAGENs QIAcube instrument. The PAXgene Blood RNA system, cleared by the FDA for manual use already in May 2005, is the first of its class for the collection, storage, and transport of blood and stabilization of intracellular RNA in a closed tube and subsequent isolation and purification of intracellular RNA from whole blood for Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) used in clinical and molecular diagnostic testing.

 

   

The European Union launched a new research project led by QIAGEN targeting to expand the potential and utility of in-vitro diagnostics through the creation of new standards for the collection, handling and processing of blood, tissue, tumor and other sample materials. The SPIDIA project (“Standardisation and improvement of generic Pre-analytical tools and procedures for In-vitro DIAgnostics”), consisting of 16 companies and research institutions from 11 countries, is scheduled to run for four years and has a total budget of over 13 million Euros.

In November 2008 the Mexican Public Health Agency (Secretaria de Salud or SSA) announced the launch of the first phase of a program that will offer testing for human papillomavirus (HPV). The cost of the testing will be covered by the agency. In the first phase of the screening program, more than 200,000 women were being offered the papillomavirus test along with the traditional Pap smear. In 2009, the pilot program will be expanded to include another 600,000 women in the 20 states with the highest death rate from cervical cancer. It is estimated that 6 million women a year will be eligible for HPV testing through the Mexican public health system once the screening program is national.
