Forward Guidance

Neogen is updating its full-year outlook, expecting revenue to be in the range of $935 million to $955 million, with Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $230 million to $240 million. Capital expenditures are still expected to be approximately $130 million, including approximately $100 million related specifically to the integration of the former 3M Food Safety Division. Improvements in its primary end markets are likely to happen at a slower pace than originally anticipated.

Positive Outlook

  • Integration of the former 3M Food Safety business is progressing with notable milestones achieved.
  • Order flows in the Food Safety segment have remained stable, indicating core growth.
  • Solid core growth was observed in Petrifilm, with accelerated growth in Asia.
  • Destocking by distributors in the Animal Safety segment is moderating.
  • Inflation appears to be easing, potentially leading to increased food production volumes.

Challenges Ahead

  • Improvements in end markets are expected to happen at a slower pace than originally anticipated.
  • The strategic shift in focus of the Genomics business is creating incremental headwinds.
  • Destocking by distributors in the Animal Safety segment continued.
  • The domestic Genomics business experienced a decline due to customer attrition.
  • The Animal Care & Other product category experienced a core revenue decline due largely to lower sales of small-animal supplements and wound-care products.
