- Financial Results Conference Call Scheduled for July 28, 2011
SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Natus Medical Incorporated (Nasdaq:BABY) today announced that it expects to report revenue for the second quarter of 2011 of approximately $58 million, up 10% from revenue in the same period last year, but below the $62 million to $64 million guidance provided earlier.
“While we achieved record second quarter revenue, it was lower than we had anticipated,” said Jim Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Revenue was below our expectations in both the United States and international markets. Sales activity was solid throughout the quarter; however, several large orders that we had expected to receive late in the quarter were not placed.”
“We are continuing to evaluate whether the factors that led to the revenue shortfall will impact our operating results for the full year 2011 and intend to discuss our outlook for the remainder of 2011 in our second quarter financial results conference call on July 28th,” added Hawkins.
“We remain committed to our goal of achieving annual revenue of $500 million in 2014, and look to accomplish this through a combination of internal growth and accretive acquisitions,” said Hawkins.

Natus expects to report its complete 2011 second quarter financial results on July 28, 2011 and will hold a conference call on that day to discuss those results and its 2011 guidance. Dial-in and webcast access information will be made available prior to the call.
