Quidel Corp (QDEL) Tops Q4 EPS by 28c

Quidel Corp (NASDAQ: QDEL) reported Q4 EPS of $0.37, $0.28 better than the analyst estimate of $0.09. Revenue for the quarter came in at $63.6 million versus the consensus estimate of $61.05 million.

"We continue to be pleased with the progress we are making as a company. We rebounded from a slow start to the year and realized a very strong fourth quarter, due in part to market share gains with our Sofia Influenza A+B product, and the largest number of Sofias placed in any quarter since launch," said Douglas Bryant, president and CEO of Quidel Corporation. "Additionally, we received CLIA waiver of Sofia Strep A+ in December, which provides another key opportunity to grow the total number of Sofia installations well beyond our initial goal of 10,000 units running our initial menu of assays."
