Bio-Rad Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Financial Results

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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Fourth-quarter 2023 total net sales were $681.2 million, a decrease of 6.7 percent compared to $730.3 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2022. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly sales decreased 7.7 percent compared to the same period in 2022. COVID-related sales were approximately $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 versus approximately $13.4 million in the year ago period. Excluding COVID-related sales, revenue decreased 6.0 percent on a currency-neutral basis.

Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $291.1 million, a decline of 19.1 percent compared to the same period in 2022. On a currency-neutral basis, Life Science segment sales decreased by 19.9 percent compared to the same quarter in 2022. Excluding COVID-related sales, Life Science revenue decreased 17.0 percent. The decline was broad-based, primarily due to lower sales of ddPCR, qPCR, and Western blotting products.

Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $389.0 million, an increase of 5.3 percent compared to the same period in 2022. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales increased 4.2 percent versus the same quarter last year. Excluding COVID-related sales, Clinical Diagnostics revenue increased 4.3 percent year over year, on a currency-neutral basis, driven by strong demand for diabetes and quality control related products.

Fourth-quarter gross margin was 53.8 percent compared to 54.4 percent during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Income from operations during the fourth quarter of 2023 was $95.3 million versus $118.7 million during the same quarter last year.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $349.7 million, or $12.14 per share, on a diluted basis, versus net income of $827.7 million, or $27.78 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2022. Net income amounts for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022 were primarily impacted by the recognition of changes in the fair market value of equity securities related to the holdings of the company’s investment in Sartorius AG.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 18.4 percent, compared to 24.2 percent for the same period in 2022. The tax rates for both periods were driven by the unrealized gain in equity securities. The lower rate in 2023 was primarily driven by a geographical mix of earnings.

“The ongoing weakness in biopharma markets continued to impact our fourth-quarter 2023 results, which were largely in line with expectations,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Shifting focus to 2024, our full-year outlook reflects ongoing execution of our corporate transformation initiatives, effective expense management, and a cautiously optimistic view of a gradual biopharma sector recovery in the second half of the year,” Mr. Schwartz continued. “We also recognize the efforts of our global employees, whose ongoing dedication and commitment to our customers’ success helped us navigate the challenges of 2023.”

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 54.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 54.9 percent during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP income from operations during the fourth quarter of 2023 was $105.2 million versus $127.0 million during the comparable prior-year period.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $89.3 million, or $3.10 per share, on a diluted basis, compared to $98.5 million, or $3.31 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2022.

The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 22.4 percent, compared to 28.1 percent for the same period in 2022. The lower rate in 2023 was primarily driven by a geographical mix of earnings and resolution of certain tax positions.

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. 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.

Full-Year 2023 Results

On a reported basis, net sales for the full year of 2023 decreased 4.7 percent to $2,671.3 million compared to $2,802.2 million for the prior year. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales decreased 4.1 percent.

COVID-related sales for the full year were approximately $4 million, compared to $109 million in the year-ago period. Excluding COVID-related sales, full-year 2023 revenue decreased 0.4 percent year-over-year on a currency-neutral basis.

Full-year 2023 reported net sales for the Life Science segment were $1,178.4 million, a decrease of 12.0 percent compared to the prior year on a currency-neutral basis. Excluding COVID-related sales, Life Science revenue declined 4.9 percent on a currency-neutral basis in 2023 versus 2022, primarily due to lower sales of process chromatography, qPCR, and Western blotting products.

Full-year 2023 reported net sales for the Clinical Diagnostics segment were $1,489.3 million, an increase of 3.2 percent compared to the prior year on a currency-neutral basis. When excluding COVID-related sales, full-year Clinical Diagnostics revenue grew 3.4 percent compared to 2022 on a currency-neutral basis, and was driven by diabetes, quality control, and blood typing products, partially offset by a decline in infectious disease products.

Full-year 2023 gross margin was 53.4 percent, compared to 55.9 percent in 2022.

Full-year 2023 income from operations was $337.8 million versus $482.6 million in 2022.

Net loss for full-year 2023 was $637.3 million, or $21.82 net loss per share, on a fully diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $3,627.5 million, or $121.79 net loss per share, in 2022. Net loss amounts for full-year 2023 and 2022 were primarily impacted by the recognition of changes in the fair market value of equity securities related to the holdings of the company’s investment in Sartorius AG.

The effective tax rate for the full year of 2023 was 25.0 percent compared to 22.9 percent in 2022. The higher rate in 2023 was primarily driven by unrealized loss in equity securities and geographic mix of earnings.

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 54.2 percent for full-year 2023 compared to 56.6 percent for full-year 2022.

Non-GAAP income from operations for the full year of 2023 was $378.9 million versus $524.0 million for the full year of 2022.

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.

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.

(1) 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.
 
(2) Incremental costs to comply with the European Union's In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation ("IVDR") for previously approved products.
 
(3) Gain from the release of an escrow for the acquisition in 2021 (2023) and for the sale of a division in 2020 (2022).
 
2024 Financial Outlook
 
Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin excludes 87 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.
