Financial Results First Quarter 2021

SALT LAKE CITY, February 4, 2021 – Varex Imaging Corporation (Nasdaq: VREX) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

1QFY21 Summary

• Revenues $177 million
• GAAP gross margin 32% | Non-GAAP gross margin* 34%
• GAAP operating expense $51 million | Non-GAAP operating expense* $46 million
• GAAP operating margin 3% | Non-GAAP operating margin* 8%
• GAAP net earnings $(0.16) per diluted share | Non-GAAP net earnings* $0.08 per diluted share

“Our financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 were stronger than our expectations,” said Sunny Sanyal, Chief Executive Officer of Varex Imaging.

“Revenues increased 4% sequentially over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, indicating the start of recovery in our business. Non-GAAP gross margin improved significantly to 34% and was sequentially higher by 580 basis points due primarily to the benefits from cost reductions, as well as a favorable shift in product mix in the medical segment. Non-GAAP operating expenses declined by about $3 million sequentially, reflecting our continued focus on profitability.” Sanyal added.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations was $7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Cash and cash equivalents improved to $106 million at the end of the first quarter.

Outlook

The following guidance is provided for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021:

• Revenues are expected to be between $180 million and $200 million
• Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is expected to be between $0.05 and $0.25

Guidance for the company’s net earnings per diluted share is provided on a non-GAAP basis only. This non-GAAP financial measure is forward-looking, and the company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate GAAP forecast of net earnings per diluted share without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of amounts and timing of unusual items, such as restructuring costs.
