Bio-Rad Laboratories reported a slight decrease in net sales for Q4 2022, with growth in the Life Science segment offset by a decline in the Clinical Diagnostics segment. The company saw a significant increase in net income compared to the previous year, primarily due to changes in the fair market value of equity securities.
Q4 net sales decreased by 0.3% year-over-year to $730.3 million.
COVID-related revenue declined to approximately $13 million compared to $46 million in the same period last year.
Life Science segment net sales increased by 10.1% year-over-year to $359.7 million.
Net income for the quarter was $827.7 million, or $27.78 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,572.2 million in the same period last year.
Bio-Rad anticipates non-GAAP, currency-neutral revenue growth of approximately 6.0 to 7.0 percent and an estimated non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 19.5 percent for the full year 2023.
