Forward Guidance
Charles River Labs provided revenue, EPS and free cash flow guidance for 2021, excluding the financial impact of the planned acquisition of Cognate. The 2021 revenue growth outlook reflects a continuation of robust client demand trends, as well as a favorable comparison to last year’s revenue impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.
