Bio-Rad Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial Results

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: BIO and BIOb), a global leader in life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth-quarter 2022 net sales were $730.3 million, a decrease of 0.3 percent compared to $732.8 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2021. COVID-related revenue was approximately $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus approximately $46 million reported in the year-ago period. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly sales increased 5.8 percent compared to the same period in 2021. Fourth-quarter 2022 revenue increased 10.6 percent on a currency-neutral basis when excluding COVID-related sales.

Fourth-quarter 2022 gross margin was 54.4 percent compared to 54.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Life Science segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $359.7 million, an increase of 10.1 percent compared to the same period in 2021. On a currency-neutral basis, the segment sales increased 16.4 percent compared to the same quarter in 2021. When also excluding COVID-related sales, Life Science revenue increased 28.1 percent, and were primarily driven by Droplet Digital™ PCR, process chromatography, Western blotting, and qPCR products.

Clinical Diagnostics segment net sales for the fourth quarter were $369.6 million, a decrease of 8.7 percent compared to the same period in 2021. On a currency-neutral basis, net sales decreased 2.9 percent versus the same quarter last year. Excluding COVID-related sales, Clinical Diagnostics revenue decreased 1.9 percent from the year-ago period, on a currency-neutral basis. The decrease was primarily driven by continuing supply chain constraints, which impacted instrument placements and sales of related consumables.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $118.7 million versus $108.9 million during the same quarter last year.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $827.7 million, or $27.78 per share, on a diluted basis, versus a net loss of $1,572.2 million, or $52.54 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2021. Net income (loss) amounts for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021 were predominantly 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 2022 was 24.2%, compared to 22.8% for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate reported in Q4 of 2022 was primarily affected by an unrealized gain in equity securities, and the tax rate reported in Q4 of 2021 was primarily affected by unrealized loss in equity securities.

“During the fourth quarter, we continued to make progress, working through the ongoing global supply chain challenges,” said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad’s President, and Chief Executive Officer. “We also saw positive market response to new product introductions, setting the stage for 2023.”

A reconciliation between GAAP operating results and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this press release. Non-GAAP adjustments include amortization of purchased intangibles; acquisition-related expenses and benefits; restructuring, impairment charges and gains and losses from change in fair market value of equity securities and loan receivable; gains and losses on equity-method investments; significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs; and discrete income tax events and the income tax effect on these non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share (non-GAAP EPS) are non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items detailed later in this press release under the heading “Non-GAAP and Currency-Neutral Reporting.”

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $98.5 million, or $3.31 per share, on a diluted basis, compared to $98.5 million, or $3.26 per share, on a diluted basis, during the same period in 2021.

The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 28.1 compared to 20.4 percent for the same period in 2021. The higher tax rate in 2022 was driven by a geographical mix of earnings.

The following table represents a reconciliation of Bio-Rad’s reported net income (loss) and diluted income (loss) per share to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021:

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 ongoing 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 ongoing 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 ongoing 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 sale of a division in 2020.

(4)

Amount excludes interest income received in connection with legal settlements.

2023 Financial Outlook

Forecasted non-GAAP operating margin excludes 78 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.
