Charles River Laboratories Announces First-Quarter 2024 Results

– First-Quarter Revenue of $1.01 Billion –

– First-Quarter GAAP Earnings per Share of $1.30 and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share of $2.27 –

– Updates 2024 Guidance –

Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today reported its results for the first quarter of 2024. For the quarter, revenue was $1.01 billion, a decrease of 1.7% from $1.03 billion in the first quarter of 2023.

The impact of foreign currency translation benefited reported revenue by 0.3%, and acquisitions contributed 1.5% to consolidated first-quarter revenue. A small divestiture of a Safety Assessment site reduced reported revenue by 0.2%. Excluding the effect of these items, organic revenue decreased 3.3%. On a segment basis, both the Manufacturing and Research Models and Services (RMS) business segments reported organic revenue growth, which was offset by lower revenue in the Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA) segment.

In the first quarter of 2024, the GAAP operating margin decreased to 12.5% from 16.3% in the first quarter of 2023, and on a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 18.5% from 21.2%. The GAAP and non-GAAP decreases were primarily driven by a lower operating margin in the DSA segment, as well as higher unallocated corporate costs. On a GAAP basis, costs associated with the Company’s restructuring initiatives also contributed to the decline.

On a GAAP basis, first-quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $67.3 million, a decrease of 34.7% from $103.1 million for the same period in 2023. First-quarter diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $1.30, a decrease of 35.3% from $2.01 for the first quarter of 2023. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $117.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of 17.7% from $143.0 million for the same period in 2023. First-quarter diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $2.27, a decrease of 18.3% from $2.78 per share for the first quarter of 2024. The GAAP and non-GAAP net income and earnings per share decreases were driven primarily by lower revenue and operating income, as well as a higher tax rate.

James C. Foster, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first-quarter performance was a solid first step towards achieving our financial outlook for the year, particularly in our Manufacturing segment. Our DSA segment saw improved proposal activity and cancellations in the first quarter, and while encouraging, our outlook for the year remains appropriately measured. It will take time for this proposal activity and stronger biotech funding to translate into new DSA bookings and revenue generation; however, these trends are consistent with our expectations that demand will improve later this year.”

“The long-term industry fundamentals for the biopharmaceutical industry remain firmly intact, and we intend to capitalize on new business opportunities. We are implementing initiatives to maintain our leadership in the non-clinical drug development sector, including enhanced commercial efforts, actions to drive efficiency, and investing in innovative technologies. We are the logical outsourcing partner for our clients and are positioning ourselves to win the new business that will emerge as these clients reinvigorate their investments in their early-stage R&D programs,” Mr. Foster concluded.

First-Quarter Segment Results

Research Models and Services (RMS)

Revenue for the RMS segment was $220.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 10.6% from $199.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. The Noveprim acquisition contributed 7.6% to first-quarter RMS reported revenue, and the impact of foreign currency translation reduced revenue by 0.3% in the quarter. Organic revenue increased by 3.3%, due primarily to higher revenue for non-human primates (NHPs) in China, as well as higher sales of small research models in all geographic regions and higher revenue for research models services, including in the Insourcing Solutions business.

In the first quarter of 2024, the RMS segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 19.5% from 20.2% in the first quarter of 2023, driven primarily by higher amortization expense related to the Noveprim acquisition, and higher site consolidation costs related to restructuring initiatives. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 27.6% from 23.4%. The non-GAAP operating margin increase was driven primarily by product mix, specifically higher revenue for NHPs including in China and from Noveprim.

Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA)

Revenue for the DSA segment was $605.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of 8.6% from $662.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. Organic revenue decreased by 8.7%, driven by lower revenue in both the Discovery Services and Safety Assessment businesses, which included a challenging, prior-year growth comparison in the Safety Assessment business.

In the first quarter of 2024, the DSA segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 19.0% from 25.9% in the first quarter of 2023. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 23.5% from 29.0% in the first quarter of 2023. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin decreases were driven primarily by lower sales volume and moderating price increases in both the Discovery Services and Safety Assessment businesses. On a GAAP basis, costs associated with restructuring initiatives also contributed to the decline.

Manufacturing Solutions (Manufacturing)

Revenue for the Manufacturing segment was $185.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 10.7% from $167.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Organic revenue growth of 10.4% reflected higher revenue across each of the segment’s businesses, led by the CDMO business.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Manufacturing segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 18.2% from 1.3% in the first quarter of 2023, and on a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 25.3%, from 13.7% in the first quarter of 2023. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by improved profitability for each of segment’s businesses, as well as a favorable comparison to a lease impairment last year in the CDMO business.

Updates 2024 Guidance

The Company is updating its financial guidance for 2024, which was initially provided on February 14, 2024. Despite modest adjustments to the quarterly gating in 2024, the Company’s outlook for the year remains essentially unchanged and it is reaffirming revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per share guidance, with the continued expectation that demand trends will improve modestly during the second half of the year.

The Company’s 2024 guidance for revenue growth and earnings per share is as follows:

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The Company reports non-GAAP results in this press release, which exclude often-one-time charges and other items that are outside of normal operations. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the schedules at the end of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude, but are not limited to, the amortization of intangible assets and the purchase accounting step-up adjustment on inventory and certain long term biological assets, and other charges and adjustments related to our acquisitions and divestitures, including incremental dividends attributable to Noveprim noncontrolling interest holders and the gain on our sale of our Avian Vaccine business; expenses associated with evaluating and integrating acquisitions and divestitures, including advisory fees and certain other transaction-related costs, as well as fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration; charges, gains, and losses attributable to businesses or properties we plan to close, consolidate, or divest; severance and other costs associated with our restructuring initiatives; the write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing; investment gains or losses associated with our venture capital and other strategic equity investments; certain legal costs in our Microbial Solutions business related to environmental litigation and in our Safety Assessment business related to U.S. government investigations into the NHP supply chain; tax effect of all of the aforementioned matters; and adjustments related to the recognition of deferred tax assets expected to be utilized as a result of changes to the our international financing structure and the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities as a result of foreign tax legislation. This press release also refers to our revenue on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis: “organic revenue growth,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, as they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. We believe that the financial impact of our acquisitions and divestitures (and in certain cases, the evaluation of such acquisitions and divestitures, whether or not ultimately consummated) is often large relative to our overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis. In addition, certain activities and their underlying associated costs, such as business acquisitions, generally occur periodically but on an unpredictable basis. We calculate non-GAAP integration costs to include third-party integration costs incurred post-acquisition. Presenting revenue on an organic basis allows investors to measure our revenue growth exclusive of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company’s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules and regulations. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release, and can also be found on the Company’s website at ir.criver.com.

Charles River management believes that supplementary non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to allow investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, without the effect of often-one-time charges and other items which are outside our normal operations, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. The supplementary non-GAAP financial measures included are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules, regulations and guidance.
