Ex. one time tax benefits ($0.09) and a jump in other income ($0.02), EPS were $0.57, the lower end of guidance. Revenue (up 44%) beat our target by $2mm on in-line BNP and strong Cardiac sales. GM was off 200 b.p sequentially and below our target due to high scap rates on Cardiac. BNP volume grew 36% yr/yr (Ex. a $2.3mm distributor inventory build), 5 points below our target and near 15 points less than the prior 2 quarters. A $17mm sequential rise in receivables (robust December and late distributor payments) contributed to a $12mm net cash outflow.
