PerkinElmer to Hold Earnings Call on Tuesday, November 8, 2022; Updates Third Quarter Outlook

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 17, 2022--PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, today announced it will release its full third quarter 2022 financial results on November 8, 2022. Management will host a webcast the same day at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss these results. To access the call, a live audio webcast will be available via this registration form or on the Investors section of the Company's website.

The Company also announced that it anticipates organic revenue growth, non-COVID organic revenue growth, and adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter ended October 2, 2022 to exceed its prior guidance, while total revenue is expected to be near the high end of the range of prior guidance due to larger than expected headwinds from foreign exchange.
