It is the successor company to what was the Life Sciences Division of Perkin-Elmer Corporation.  Corporation business, today reported results for its third quarter of fiscal 2002 ended March 31, 2002.

All per share amounts refer to per share of Applera Corporation-Celera Genomics Group Common Stock.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, Celera reported revenues of $30.5 million, up from $23.4 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2001. The increase in revenues was primarily due to new subscription agreements with commercial and academic customers signed over the past 12 months. Online/Information business revenues for this period were $18.5 million, compared to $12.4 million in the year earlier period. The balance of Celera's revenues was mainly attributable attributable

Included in the quarter's results are $25.9 million of non-recurring special charges related to the Paracel business. These charges are comprised of $23.0 million related primarily to the impairment Impairment

The Group's net loss before non-recurring charges was $28.5 million, or $0.42 per share, compared with $29.1 million, or $0.48 per share, for the same quarter in fiscal 2001. The lower net loss was attributable primarily to continued growth in subscription revenues and lower R&D expenditures and amortization of goodwill.

The reported net loss for the quarter was $49.5 million, or $0.72 per share, including the special charges. At the end of March 2002, the Group had cash and short-term Short-term

For the nine months ended March 31, 2002, Celera Genomics reported a net loss before special charges of $63.0 million, or $0.97 per share, compared to a net loss of $84.5 million, or $1.40 per share, for the comparable period in fiscal 2001. The special charges during this period included a $99.0 million non-cash charge Non-Cash Charge

Including the special charges, the reported net loss for this period was $183.0 million, or $2.82 per share. Total revenues for this period were $92.8 million, compared to $62.0 million for the same period last year. Online/Information business revenues were $52.8 million, compared to $34.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001.

Tony L. White, Applera's Chief Executive Officer, said, "When I took on the role of interim President of Celera Genomics three months ago, my goal was to speed the transformation of Celera into a drug discovery and development business with sustainable competitive advantage, and to build a management structure to accomplish this. I believe the recently announced appointment of Kathy Kathy is a feminine first name. It may refer to:

In sports:
  • Kathy Bald, former international freestyle swimmer from Canada
  • Kathy Smallwood-Cook, the most successful female sprinter in British athletics history
 Ordonez Ordóñez or Ordoñez is a Spanish family name that may refer to:
  • Ordóñez (bullfighter family)
  • Antonio Ordóñez (1932–1998)
 and the Celera Discovery System marketing and distribution agreement with Applied Biosystems places Celera Genomics on a solid path toward this goal."

Recent Developments
-- Fiscal 2002 Revenue: Consistent with Celera Genomics' transformation into a
drug discovery business, management believes that revenues for the remainder of
the fiscal year attributable to low-margin services and collaborations will be
lower than previously anticipated. As a result, revenues for the fiscal fourth
quarter of 2002 are expected to be between $27 and $29 million, including
approximately $20 million in Online/Information business revenues. Total
revenues for fiscal 2002 are expected to be between $119 and $121 million,
including approximately $73 million in Online/Information business revenues.

-- Fiscal 2002 Expenses: The Group expects R&D expenses to be in the range of
$135 to $140 million. The outlook for SG&A expenses has been lowered to a range
of $50 to $55 million. Pre-tax losses related to the Celera Diagnostics joint
venture are now expected to be approximately $50 million.

-- Fiscal 2002 Cash Burn: Celera Genomics' fiscal 2002 net cash use expectation
has been reduced by at least $35 million since its last update, to between $110
and $120 million. The lower expected cash use is primarily due to lower R&D
expenses and related capital expenditures, lower development expenses within
Celera Diagnostics, and higher than anticipated cash receipts from the exercise
of stock options.

-- Fiscal 2003 Revenue: Revenue for CDS subscriptions and for Knowledge
Business royalties for fiscal 2003 is expected to be between $75 and $80
million. Celera Genomics anticipates total revenues between $85 and $95
million, based upon its new focus on cash flow and the decision not to pursue
new service business.
