• Q1 2025 preliminary net sales rise 7% CER and adjusted diluted EPS results of at least $0.55 CER both above outlook despite challenging macro environment

• Full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS outlook raised to about $2.35 CER (prior outlook about $2.28 CER)

• On track to exceed 31% CER adjusted operating income margin ahead of 2028 mid-term target

VENLO, Netherlands / Apr 06, 2025 / Business Wire / QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced preliminary Q1 2025 results that exceeded its outlook for both net sales and adjusted earnings per share (EPS), reflecting strong performances across many growth drivers.

Net sales grew approximately 5% (+7% at constant exchange rates, CER) to about $483 million in Q1 2025, surpassing the previously communicated outlook for about 3% CER growth (4% CER core business excluding discontinued products such as NeuMoDx and Dialunox). Adjusted diluted EPS are expected to be at least $0.55 CER compared to the previously communicated outlook for about $0.50 CER.

Sales of the QuantiFERON latent TB test grew about 15% CER as global adoption continues to shift from the skin test to this proven, modern blood-based test. The QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing system advanced above 35% CER on continued demand for respiratory panels along with growth in gastrointestinal and meningitis testing. The QIAcuity digital PCR system and QIAGEN Digital Insights bioinformatics business both delivered high-single-digit CER gains, reflecting solid adoption across research and clinical applications. Additional growth contributions also came from higher sales of PCR consumables and from OEM products. Sample technologies sales declined 1% CER, reflecting the cautious instrument spending environment among some Life Sciences customers.

Given the positive start to 2025, QIAGEN is raising its adjusted diluted EPS outlook for full-year 2025 in light of the strong sales growth in Q1 and the overall current business trends, which includes expected headwinds from the recently announced U.S. import tariffs and a better-than-expected tax environment.

Full-year 2025, adjusted diluted EPS are now expected to be about $2.35 CER, up from the prior full-year outlook for about $2.28 CER, while reaffirming the goal to improve the adjusted operating income margin to above 30% for the year.

QIAGEN will provide additional perspectives on the outlook for full-year 2025 with the publication of full Q1 2025 results on May 7, 2025.

Additionally, QIAGEN now expects to reach the mid-term adjusted operating income margin goal of at least 31% well ahead of the original 2028 timeline, reflecting the stronger-than-anticipated improvements delivered during 2024 and 2025.
