Bio-Rad Q1 2022 Earnings Report

Bio-Rad's financial performance decreased compared to the same period last year, but the underlying core business showed strength as COVID-related contributions subsided.

Key Takeaways

Bio-Rad Laboratories reported a decrease in first-quarter net sales by 3.7% compared to the previous year, with sales totaling $700.1 million. The decline was partially attributed to lower COVID-19 related revenue, though excluding these sales, revenue increased by 6.5% on a currency-neutral basis. The company's Life Science segment experienced a decrease in sales, while the Clinical Diagnostics segment saw a slight increase. Despite a net loss of $3,369.6 million, the underlying strength of the core business is encouraging.
