Bio-Rad Laboratories reported a decrease in net sales for the second quarter of 2022, with a net loss primarily impacted by changes in the fair market value of equity securities. However, the company anticipates non-GAAP currency-neutral revenue growth to be at the high end of the prior guidance.
Second-quarter net sales were $691.1 million, a decrease of 3.5 percent compared to $715.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2021.
COVID-related revenue was approximately $33 million in the second quarter of 2022 versus approximately $69 million reported in the year-ago period.
Second-quarter gross margin was 57.3 percent compared to 56.1 percent for the second quarter of 2021.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $927.2 million, or a loss of $31.12 per share, on a diluted basis.
The company now anticipates non-GAAP currency-neutral revenue growth to be at the high end of the prior 1.0 to 2.0 percent guidance, with Covid-related revenue expected to be about $93 million versus approximately $70 million previously. The company is reaffirming its non-GAAP operating margin expectation of approximately 19.0 percent.
