=Hologic (HOLX) reported earnings on Wed 2 May 2018 (a/h)

Hologic reports EPS in-line, beats on revs; guides Q3 EPS & revs below consensus; guides FY18 EPS in-line, revs below consensus 

• Reports Q2 (Mar) earnings of $0.53 per share, in-line with the Capital IQ Consensus of $0.53; revenues rose 10.3% year/year to $789.3 mln vs the $781.23 mln Capital IQ Consensus.
• Co issues downside guidancefor Q3, sees EPS of $0.55-0.57 vs. $0.58 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate; sees Q3 revs of $795-810 mln vs. $832.03 mln Capital IQ Consensus Estimate.

"We are lowering our full-year 2018 revenueguidance due primarily to a reset of our near-term sales expectations for Cynosure," said Bob McMahon, the Company's Chief Financial Officer. "But despite the reduction of our revenue forecast, we are reiterating our non-GAAP EPS guidance for the year."

=Cynosure (CYNO) to be acquired by Hologic (HOLX) for $66/share

• Hologic (HOLX) announced a $1.65 billion plan to acquire body-sculpting firm Cynosure (CYNO) early Tuesday, a day after Allergan (AGN) said it would pay $2.5 billion for fat-freezing Zeltiq (ZLTQ).
• Hologic, a leader in women's health, sees Cynosure as its ticket to the medical aesthetics market. Cynosure's portfolio includes more than 20 products in body sculpting, hair removal and skin revitalization.
• Cynosure goes after the obstetrics and gynecological markets to make its sales — about 60% of its revenue is derived from that market vs. traditional plastic surgery and dermatology. Hologic has a strong presence in the OB/GYN market.
• The medical aesthetics market is worth more than $2 billion annually across the globe, Hologic said. On Monday, Allergan put a $4 billion price tag on body sculpting alone when it announced its plan to buy Zeltiq, which uses a technique to freeze fat cells.
