The company reported a net loss of $2,165.5 million, primarily due to changes in the fair market value of its Sartorius AG investment.

The board authorized an additional $500 million for share repurchases.

Der Geschäftsbereich Lebenswissenschaften verzeichnete einen Rückgang von 16,5 %, während die klinische Diagnostik um 2,1 % zunahm.

Positive
  • Gross margin improved to 55.6% from 53.2% in Q2 2023
  • Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales increased by 2.1%
  • Non-GAAP net income remained stable at $88.5 million
  • Board authorized additional $500 million for share repurchases
Negative
  • Total net sales decreased by 6.3% to $638.5 million
  • Life Science segment net sales decreased by 16.5%
  • Reported net loss of $2,165.5 million due to investment value changes
  • Updated 2024 outlook expects 2.5-4.0% revenue decline
  • Lowered non-GAAP operating margin forecast to 12.0-13.0%

Bio-Rad's Q2 2024 results paint a mixed picture, with some concerning trends but also signs of resilience. Total net sales decreased by 6.3% to $638.5 million, primarily due to weakness in the Life Science segment. However, the Clinical Diagnostics segment showed growth, increasing by 2.1%.

The company's gross margin improved to 55.6% from 53.2% year-over-year, indicating better cost management. Income from operations also increased to $101.5 million from $89.6 million. However, the substantial net loss of $2,165.5 million is primarily attributed to changes in the fair market value of Bio-Rad's investment in Sartorius AG, which is a non-operational factor.

On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes certain items, the company's performance appears more stable. Non-GAAP net income remained flat at $88.5 million, while non-GAAP EPS increased slightly to $3.11 from $3.00.

The updated full-year 2024 outlook is concerning, with Bio-Rad now expecting a non-GAAP revenue decline of 2.5% to 4.0% on a currency-neutral basis, compared to the previous estimate of 1.0% to 2.5% growth. This significant revision suggests ongoing challenges in the market environment.

The increase in the share repurchase program by $500 million could be seen as a positive sign, indicating management's confidence in the company's long-term prospects and a commitment to returning value to shareholders.

The Q2 results reveal significant market dynamics affecting Bio-Rad's performance. The Life Science segment, which saw a 16.5% decrease in sales, is facing "ongoing weakness in the biotech and biopharma end-markets." This suggests a broader industry slowdown that could persist in the near term.

Conversely, the Clinical Diagnostics segment showed resilience with a 2.1% increase in sales, driven by "increased demand for quality control and blood typing products." This divergence between segments highlights the importance of Bio-Rad's diversified portfolio in navigating challenging market conditions.

The company's revised outlook, projecting a revenue decline instead of growth, indicates a more pessimistic view of market recovery. CEO Norman Schwartz's statement that they "expect a more modest pace of market recovery than originally anticipated" suggests that the challenges in the biotech and biopharma sectors may be more prolonged than initially thought.

Despite these headwinds, Bio-Rad's focus on "ongoing supply chain initiatives, core process improvements and cost control" demonstrates a proactive approach to margin improvement. This strategy could position the company well for improved profitability once market conditions stabilize.

The increased share repurchase authorization may also indicate that management views the current stock price as undervalued, given their long-term outlook for the company and the industry.

Bio-Rad's Q2 results and revised outlook present a complex picture for investors. The company is navigating a challenging environment, particularly in its Life Science segment, but showing resilience in other areas.

Key considerations for investors include:

  • Market Dynamics: The weakness in biotech and biopharma end-markets is a significant concern. Investors should monitor industry trends and potential catalysts for recovery in these sectors.
  • Margin Improvement: Despite revenue challenges, Bio-Rad's focus on operational efficiency is yielding results, as evidenced by improved gross and operating margins. This could position the company for strong profitability when market conditions improve.
  • Segment Performance: The divergence between Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics segments highlights the importance of Bio-Rad's diversified portfolio. The growth in Clinical Diagnostics provides some stability amid challenges in Life Science.
  • Valuation Impact: The substantial net loss due to the change in fair market value of the Sartorius AG investment is a non-operational factor but could impact the company's book value. Investors should focus more on operational performance and non-GAAP metrics.
  • Capital Allocation: The increased share repurchase authorization signals management's confidence and could provide support for the stock price.

While the near-term outlook is challenging, Bio-Rad's strong market position, operational improvements and financial flexibility suggest potential for long-term value creation. Investors should closely monitor market recovery signs in the biotech and biopharma sectors, as well as the company's ability to maintain margin improvements and capitalize on growth opportunities in Clinical Diagnostics.

HERCULES, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIO.B), a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostics products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second-quarter 2024 total net sales were $638.5 million, a decrease of 6.3 percent compared to $681.1 million reported for the second quarter of 2023. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly sales decreased 5.4 percent compared to the same period in 2023.

Life Science segment net sales for the second quarter were $250.5 million, a decrease of 16.5 percent compared to the same period in 2023. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales decreased by 15.9 percent compared to the same quarter in 2023. The currency-neutral year-over-year sales decrease was broad-based and was primarily driven by ongoing weakness in the biotech and biopharma end-markets.

Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the second quarter were $387.9 million, an increase of 2.1 percent compared to the same period in 2023. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales increased 3.2 percent versus the same quarter last year. The currency-neutral year-over-year sales increase was primarily driven by an increased demand for quality control and blood typing products.

Second-quarter gross margin was 55.6 percent compared to 53.2 percent during the second quarter of 2023.

Income from operations during the second quarter of 2024 was $101.5 million versus $89.6 million during the same quarter last year.

During the second quarter of 2024, the company recognized a change in the fair market value of its investment in Sartorius AG, which substantially contributed to a net loss of $2,165.5 million, or $76.26 per share, on a diluted basis, versus a net loss of $1,162.3 million, or $39.59 per share, on a diluted basis, reported for the same period of 2023.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 22.3 percent, compared to 22.5 percent for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate reported in these periods was primarily affected by the accounting treatment of equity securities.

“Our second quarter results were in line with expectations for topline revenue despite a challenging market environment,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to experience constraints in biotech and biopharma customer spending and, as a result, expect a more modest pace of market recovery than originally anticipated. At the same time, ongoing supply chain initiatives, core process improvements, and cost control are positively impacting our margin profile. In addition, as our life science business rebounds, we are well positioned for further margin expansion.”

The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude certain items detailed later in this press release under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP and Currency-Neutral Reporting.” A reconciliation between historical GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this press release.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 56.4 percent for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 54.4 percent during the second quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP income from operations during the second quarter of 2024 was $107.1 million versus $107.9 million during the comparable prior-year period.

Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $88.5 million, or $3.11 per share, on a diluted basis, compared to $88.5 million, or $3.00 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2023.

The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 23.4 percent, compared to 22.5 percent for the same period in 2023. The higher rate in 2024 was driven by geographical mix of earnings.

Updated Full-Year 2024 Financial Outlook

Bio-Rad is updating its financial outlook for the full year 2024. The company currently expects its non-GAAP revenue to decline by approximately 2.5 to 4.0 percent on a currency-neutral basis compared to its previous estimate of 1.0 to 2.5 percent revenue growth. Bio-Rad also estimates a non-GAAP operating margin of about 12.0 to 13.0 percent versus the company’s prior estimate of approximately 13.5 to 14.0 percent.

Increase to 2023 Share Repurchase Program Authorization

On July 29, 2024, Bio-Rad's board of directors authorized increasing the amount available under the company's 2023 Share Repurchase Program to allow the company to repurchase up to an additional $500 million of the company’s outstanding common stock. As of July 31, 2024, a total of approximately $578 million is available for repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program.

Repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program may be made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market, through trading plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or through privately negotiated transactions. The 2023 Share Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time.

Use of Non-GAAP and Currency-Neutral Reporting

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, gains and losses on equity-method investments, and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. More specifically, management adjusts for the excluded items for the following reasons:

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: we do not acquire businesses and assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of purchase price allocated to purchased intangible assets and the term of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition or purchase. We believe that excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets allows the users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historic and current results of our operations, and also facilitates comparisons to peer companies.

Acquisition-related expenses and benefits: we incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, such as transaction costs, professional fees for assistance with the transaction; valuation or integration costs; changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, gain or loss on settlement of pre-existing relationships with the acquired entity; or adjustments to purchase price. We exclude such expenses or benefits as they are related to acquisitions and have no direct correlation to the operation of our on-going business.

Restructuring, impairment charges, and gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, and gains and losses on equity-method investments: we incur restructuring and impairment charges on individual or groups of employed assets and charges and benefits arising from gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, and gains and losses (including impairments) on equity-method investments, which arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business. Although these events are reflected in our GAAP financials, these unique transactions may limit the comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods.

Significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs: we may incur charges or benefits as well as legal costs in connection with litigation and other contingencies unrelated to our core operations. We exclude these charges or benefits, when significant, as well as legal costs associated with significant legal matters, because we do not believe they are reflective of on-going business and operating results.

Income tax expense: we estimate the tax effect of the excluded items identified above to determine a non-GAAP annual effective tax rate applied to the pretax amount in order to calculate the non-GAAP provision for income taxes. We also adjust for items for which the nature and/or tax jurisdiction requires the application of a specific tax rate or treatment.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items excluded if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors and management.

Percentage sales growth in currency neutral amounts are calculated by translating prior period sales in each local currency using the current period’s monthly average foreign exchange rates for that currency and comparing that to current period sales.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States. Investors should review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

We do not provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial expectations to expectations for the most comparable GAAP measure because the amount and timing of many future charges that impact these measures (such as amortization of future acquisition-related intangible assets, future acquisition-related expenses and benefits, future restructuring charges, future asset impairment charges, future valuation changes of equity-owned securities, future gains and losses on equity-method investments or future legal charges or benefits), which could be material, are variable, uncertain, or out of our control and therefore cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, if at all.

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS), which exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; certain acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring charges; asset impairment charges; gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable; gains and losses on equity-method investments; and significant legal-related charges or benefits and associated legal costs. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS also exclude certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, tax provisions/benefits related to the previous items, and significant discrete tax events. We exclude the above items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions, forecasting and planning for future periods, and determining payments under compensation programs. We consider the use of the non-GAAP measures to be helpful in assessing the performance of the ongoing operation of our business. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance. We also believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

Excluded items identified in the reconciliation schedule are tax effected by application of a non-GAAP effective tax rate. The non-GAAP tax

provision is adjusted for items, the nature of which and/or tax jurisdiction requires the application of a specific tax rate or treatment.

2024 Financial Outlook

Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin excludes 89 basis points related to amortization of purchased intangibles. Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin does not reflect future gains and charges that are inherently difficult to predict and estimate due to their unknown timing, effect and/or significance, such as foreign currency fluctuations, future gains or losses associated with certain legal matters, acquisitions and restructuring activities. We do not provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial expectations to expectations for the most comparable GAAP measure because the amount and timing of many future charges that impact these measures (such as amortization of future acquisition-related intangible assets, future acquisition-related expenses and benefits, future restructuring charges, future asset impairment charges, future valuation changes of equity-owned securities, future gains and losses on equity-method investments or future legal charges or benefits), which could be material, are variable, uncertain, or out of our control and therefore cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, if at all.
