Insights

Avantor reported declining revenue but maintained profitability through cost discipline while expanding transformation efforts to offset market headwinds.

Avantor's Q1 2025 performance presents a mixed financial picture as the company navigates significant market challenges. Net sales declined 6% to $1.58 billion (2% organic decline), primarily driven by weakened demand in the Education and Government sectors following policy changes. Despite this revenue contraction, Avantor managed to increase net income to $64.5 million from $60.4 million year-over-year, demonstrating effective cost management.

The segment breakdown reveals divergent trajectories: Laboratory Solutions (comprising 67% of total revenue) declined 8% to $1.07 billion with a 13.1% operating margin, while Bioscience Production showed resilience with only a 1% decrease to $516.4 million and maintained a robust 23.9% operating margin. This performance disparity highlights the relative strength of their bioprocessing business within a challenging environment.

Profitability metrics remained relatively stable with Adjusted EBITDA of $269.5 million (17.0% margin) and diluted EPS of $0.09 on a GAAP basis ($0.23 adjusted). Cash generation shows continued financial health with operating cash flow of $109.3 million and free cash flow of $82.1 million. The adjusted net leverage ratio stands at 3.2x, representing the company's debt position relative to earnings.

Most notably, management has significantly expanded their cost transformation initiative, now targeting $400 million in gross run-rate savings by 2027, reflecting an aggressive approach to address both immediate challenges and position for future growth despite persistent headwinds.

Avantor's strategic pivot combines aggressive cost-cutting with targeted segment strengthening to counter policy-driven market headwinds affecting core business.

Avantor is executing a decisive strategic response to market disruptions that have disproportionately impacted their largest business segment. The company has identified specific external factors - notably policy changes affecting Education and Government funding - as primary drivers behind the underperformance in Laboratory Solutions, which represents two-thirds of total revenue but delivers significantly lower margins (13.1%) compared to Bioscience Production (23.9%).

Management's two-pronged strategy addresses both immediate performance issues and long-term competitiveness. First, they're implementing a "comprehensive strategy" to revitalize the struggling Lab Solutions segment, though specific tactical elements weren't disclosed. Second, they've significantly expanded their cost transformation target to $400 million in gross run-rate savings by 2027, demonstrating commitment to structural efficiency improvements.

The continued growth in bioprocessing and building order momentum within Bioscience Production represents a crucial bright spot that management can leverage while addressing broader challenges. This segment's resilience (flat organic performance versus Lab Solutions' 3% organic decline) suggests potential for resource reallocation toward higher-growth, higher-margin operations.

CEO Stubblefield's acknowledgment that they are "not satisfied with our current growth trajectory" signals appropriate urgency while maintaining confidence in long-term value creation. The updated full-year outlook reflecting "ongoing funding and policy-related headwinds" indicates these challenges aren't expected to quickly dissipate, necessitating the more aggressive cost initiatives now underway.

This balanced approach of segment-specific growth strategies coupled with enterprise-wide cost discipline positions Avantor to weather current market dynamics while creating a more efficient operational foundation for when market conditions improve.

  • Net sales of $1.58 billion, decrease of 6%; organic decline of 2%
  • Net income of $64.5 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $269.5 million
  • Diluted GAAP EPS of $0.09; adjusted EPS of $0.23
  • Operating cash flow of $109.3 million; free cash flow of $82.1 million
  • Announces significant actions across the business to accelerate growth and enhance cost structure; increasing cost transformation target to $400 million in gross run-rate savings exiting 2027

RADNOR, Pa., April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR), a leading global provider of mission-critical products and services to customers in the life sciences and advanced technology industries, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"Our first quarter results demonstrate disciplined execution and a continued focus on cost management in a dynamic macro environment," said Michael Stubblefield, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While earnings and margin performance were in line with our plan, Lab Solutions revenue was impacted by reduced demand – particularly in our Education and Government end market - following recent policy changes. In our Bioscience Production segment, we delivered another quarter of growth in bioprocessing and order book momentum continues."

"We are updating our full-year outlook to reflect ongoing funding and policy-related headwinds. While we are not satisfied with our current growth trajectory, we are implementing a comprehensive strategy to strengthen our Lab Solutions segment and are committed to moving with urgency to improve performance across the business. In addition, we are expanding our cost transformation initiative and now expect to deliver $400 million in gross run-rate savings exiting 2027."

"With these actions to accelerate growth and enhance our cost structure, we remain confident in Avantor's ability to drive long-term value creation," Stubblefield concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators. As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measures, and such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Rather, these measures should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in reports filed with the SEC in their entirety and not rely solely on any one single financial measure or communication.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are sales growth (decline) on an organic basis, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted net leverage, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.

  • Organic net sales growth (decline) eliminates from our reported net sales change the impacts of revenues from acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the last year and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to measure and evaluate our underlying commercial operating performance consistently across our segments and the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
  • Adjusted Operating Income is our net income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iv) losses on extinguishment of debt, (v) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (vi) gain on sale of business, and (vii) certain other adjustments. Adjusted Operating Income margin is Adjusted Operating Income divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as ways to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. These measures are used by our management for the same reason. Additionally, Adjusted Operating Income is our segment reporting profitability measure under GAAP.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iv) depreciation expense, (v) losses on extinguishment of debt, (vi) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (vii) gain on sale of business, and (viii) certain other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as ways to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. These measures are used by our management for the same reason.
  • Adjusted net income is our net income or loss first adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (iii) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (iv) gain on sale of business, and (v) certain other adjustments. From this amount, we then add or subtract an assumed incremental income tax impact on the above-noted pre-tax adjustments, using estimated tax rates, to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. We believe that this measure is useful to investors as a way to analyze the business consistently across the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
  • Adjusted EPS is our adjusted net income divided by our diluted GAAP weighted average share count adjusted for anti-dilutive instruments. We believe that this measure is useful to investors as an additional way to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
  • Adjusted net leverage is equal to our gross debt, reduced by our cash and cash equivalents, divided by our trailing 12-month Adjusted EBITDA (excluding stock-based compensation expense and including the expected run-rate effect of cost synergies and the incremental results of completed acquisitions and divestitures as if those acquisitions and divestitures had occurred on the first day of the trailing 12-month period). We believe that this measure is useful to investors as a way to evaluate and measure the Company's capital allocation strategies and the underlying trends in the business. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
  • Free cash flow is equal to our cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus direct transaction costs and income taxes paid related to acquisitions and divestitures (as applicable) in the period. Free cash flow conversion is free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as they provide a view on the Company's ability to generate cash for use in financing or investing activities. These measures are used by our management for the same reason.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.
