Bio-Rad Reports First-Quarter 2026 Financial Results
HERCULES, Calif.—April 30, 2026 -- 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Our first-quarter results reflected our resolve in navigating a dynamic environment. Despite external headwinds including challenging academic end markets and conflict escalation in the Middle East, reported sales grew 1.1% year-over-year. Against this backdrop, we generated strong operating cash flow, $78 million in free cash flow, and repurchased approximately 176 thousand shares, highlighting the quality and long-term durability of our business. We continue to evaluate and optimize our organization to create more value for customers, and ultimately, shareholders."

First-Quarter 2026 Results
First-quarter 2026 total net sales were $592.1 million, an increase of 1.1 percent compared to $585.4 million reported for the first quarter of 2025. On a currency-neutral basis, sales decreased 4.2 percent compared to the same period in 2025, driven by lower sales in both Life Science and Clinical Diagnostics segments.
Life Science segment net sales for the first quarter were $228.5 million, essentially flat compared to the same period in 2025. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales decreased 4.3 percent compared to the same period in 2025. The currency-neutral year-over-year sales decrease was primarily driven by ongoing challenges in the academic research market, particularly in the Americas.
Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the first quarter were $363.6 million, an increase of 1.9 percent compared to the same period in 2025. On a currency-neutral basis, Clinical Diagnostics segment sales decreased 4.1 percent compared to the same period in 2025. The currency-neutral year-over-year sales decrease was primarily driven by the recent escalation of regional conflicts in the Middle East.
During the first quarter of 2026, the company recognized a change in the fair market value of its investment in Sartorius AG, which substantially contributed to a net loss of $527.1 million, or $19.55 per share, on a diluted basis, compared to a net income of $64.0 million, or $2.29 per share, on a diluted basis, reported for the same period in 2025.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 23.6 percent, compared to 23.3 percent for the same period in 2025. The effective tax rate reported in these periods was primarily affected by the change in fair market value of our equity securities as well as shifts in the geographical mix of earnings.
The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 22.6 percent, compared to 20.6 percent for the same period in 2025. The higher rate in 2026 was driven by geographical mix of earnings.
Updated Full-Year 2026 Financial Outlook
Bio-Rad is updating its financial outlook for the full-year 2026. The Company currently expects non-GAAP, currency-neutral revenue to be in the range of a decline of approximately 3.0 percent to growth of approximately 0.5 percent, compared to its prior expectation of growth of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 percent. The Company also expects an estimated non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 10.0 to 12.0 percent compared to its prior estimate of approximately 12.0 to 12.5 percent.

Use of Non-GAAP Reporting
This press release includes GAAP financial measures as well as non-GAAP financial measures, which are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. We present certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate business performance, guide operating decisions, support forecasting and planning, and determine compensation. These measures exclude items outside normal operations, those difficult to forecast, isolated gains and losses not expected to recur predictably, related tax provisions or benefits, and significant discrete tax events. We believe these disclosures provide useful supplemental information that, while not a substitute for GAAP, enhance transparency, assist in evaluating operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management, and facilitate comparisons across periods and with peer companies.

Explanations of Non-GAAP Adjustments
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 terms of amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition. 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.
Acquisition-related amounts: we incur expenses or benefits with respect to certain items associated with our acquisitions, including professional fees for assistance with the transaction; valuation costs, integration costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, and gains and losses on the settlement of pre-existing relationships with the acquired entity. We exclude such acquisition-related amounts because they have no direct correlation to the operation of our on-going business.
Restructuring charges: we incur costs associated with our restructuring actions, including termination benefits related to reductions in employee headcount and the closure or exit of facilities. We exclude the costs associated with these unique restructuring actions in order to provide comparability of our on-going operations with prior and future periods.
Impairment charges: we incur non-cash expenses associated primarily with impairment of long-lived assets including, but not limited to, goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. By excluding these impairment charges, we believe this assists investors with evaluating our cash spending and analyzing our core operating performance period-over-period.
Gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, and gains and losses on equity-method investments: Our net income (loss) is impacted by gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable, and gain and losses associated with our equity-method investments included in Other income, net. These gains and losses arise from unforeseen circumstances and/or often occur outside of the ordinary course of our on-going business. By excluding these gains and losses, we believe this assists investors in evaluating our core operating performance period-over-period.
Significant litigation amounts and legal costs: we may incur charges or benefits, in connection with litigation and other contingencies and legal costs unrelated to our core operations. We exclude these litigation amounts, when significant, as well as legal costs associated with significant legal matters, because we do not believe they are reflective of our on-going business and operating results.
European Union's IVDR: we incur incremental costs to comply with the European Union's In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation ("IVDR") for previously approved products.
Product portfolio rationalization related costs: we may incur charges associated with our product portfolio rationalization actions, including inventory write-downs, impairment of long-lived assets and accruals for contract termination or other exit-related costs. By excluding these one-time costs we believe this assists investors in evaluating our core operating performance period-over-period.
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.
Other Key Metrics
Free Cash Flow: we report free cash flow, which is operating cash flow excluding net capital expenditures, to provide a view of the continuing operations’ ability to generate cash for acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. The company also uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
Currency-Neutral Revenue: we report percentage sales growth/decline in currency-neutral amounts by calculating translated 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.
2026 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, future legal charges or benefits or future product portfolio rationalization related costs), which could be material, are variable, uncertain, or out of our control and therefore cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, if at all.
