WALTHAM, Mass., April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN), a life sciences company focused on bioprocessing technology leadership, today reported financial results for its first quarter of 2025, covering the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The company is also providing updated financial guidance for the full year 2025.
Olivier Loeillot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Repligen said, 'We had a strong start to the year with $169 million of revenue, which represented 14% organic non-COVID growth and helped drive meaningful adjusted operating margin expansion. Total orders grew nearly 20%, with all four franchises growing double-digits, highlighting the momentum in our business. As a result, we are confident in our organic growth outlook for the full year. Strategically, we strengthened our Analytics franchise with the acquisition of 908's bioprocessing portfolio. Finally, we are working to navigate through the current economic environment and at this point in time, we see minimal impact from tariffs on our EPS.'
Q1 2025 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Q1 2025 financial performance (compared to prior year periods except as noted).
All adjusted figures are non-GAAP and, except for earnings per share, are rounded to the nearest million, and are reconciled in the tables included later in this press release.
MARGIN SUMMARY
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2025, were $697 million, compared to $757 million at December 31, 2024.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025
Our financial guidance for the fiscal year 2025 is based on expectations for our existing business. Our GAAP and Adjusted (non-GAAP) guidance excludes the impact of any potential business acquisitions in 2025, tariffs, and future fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Updated guidance incorporates the impact of the acquisition of 908 Devices' Bioprocessing Analytics business including: a revenue increase of $10 million, a $4 million reduction in income from operations and the associated impact on operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, net income and earnings per share, diluted. Additionally, there is a 100-basis point increase in gross margin versus our prior guidance. This primarily relates to a shift in costs to operating expenses from cost of goods sold, where they previously were assumed in our prior guidance. There is no impact on operating income associated with this change.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following Adjusted (non-GAAP) measures of financial performance are included in this release: organic non-COVID revenue and non-COVID revenue growth; organic revenue and organic revenue growth; adjusted cost of goods sold, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin; adjusted R&D expense and adjusted SG&A expense; adjusted income from operations and adjusted operating margin; adjusted pre-tax income; adjusted net income; adjusted earnings per share (diluted); adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company provides the impact of foreign currency translation, to enable determination of revenue growth rates at constant currency. To calculate the impact of foreign currency translation, the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior year periods.
The Company's non-GAAP financial results and/or non-GAAP guidance exclude the impact of: acquisition and integration costs; restructuring charges including the costs of severance and accelerated depreciation among other charges; incremental costs attributed to CEO transition; contingent consideration related to the Company's acquisitions; intangible amortization costs; non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount; amortization of debt issuance costs related to Company's convertible debt; foreign currency impact of certain intercompany loans; and, the related impact on tax of non-GAAP charges. These costs are excluded because management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded.
NOTE:
All reconciliations of above GAAP figures (reported or guidance) to adjusted (non-GAAP) figures are detailed in the tables included later in this press release. When analyzing the Company's operating performance and guidance, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for the comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
