Insights

Mixed quarter: large non-cash impairment drove a GAAP loss, while adjusted profits and cash flow remained positive; Board approved a $500M buyback.

Net sales of $1.62 billion fell 5.3% year-over-year, with organic sales down about 4.7%. The company posted a GAAP net loss of $711.8 million driven by a $785 million non-cash goodwill impairment tied to the Distribution reporting unit, while adjusted EBITDA was $267.9 million and adjusted EPS was $0.22. Operating cash flow of $207.4 million and free cash flow of $171.7 million show continued cash generation.

Key dependencies and risks include the Distribution segment outlook that triggered the impairment and the trajectory of organic sales, which were negative across segments. Adjusted metrics and cash flow partially offset the headline GAAP loss, but investors will watch whether underlying sales stabilize and whether impairments recur. Monitor adjusted net leverage at 3.1x, the execution of the announced $500 million share repurchase program, and quarter-over-quarter organic revenue trends over the next 3–4 quarters.

  • Net sales of $1.62 billion, decrease of 5%
  • Net loss of $712 million and diluted GAAP loss per share of $1.04, including a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $785 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $268 million; adjusted EPS of $0.22
  • Operating cash flow of $207 million; free cash flow of $172 million
  • Company announces $500 million share repurchase authorization, reflecting confidence in cash generation and commitment to driving long-term shareholder value

RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 29, 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 third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"Avantor's diverse portfolio, strong production capabilities, and long-standing customer relationships provide a strong foundation for sustained value creation," said Emmanuel Ligner, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"To position Avantor for success in any macroeconomic environment, we are making decisive, meaningful changes aimed at improving execution, accountability and financial performance. We are taking action to evolve our go-to-market approach, sharpen our customer value proposition, and invest strategically in our manufacturing and supply chain. We are also carefully scrutinizing our portfolio to ensure our focus is on the opportunities that will drive the greatest value creation for our customers and shareholders."

"I strongly believe in Avantor's growth and profitability potential, and this conviction is reflected in the new $500 million share repurchase program our Board has authorized.

Third Quarter 2025

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net sales were $1,623.8 million, a decrease of 5.3% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 2.2% and M&A had a negative impact of 2.8%, resulting in 4.7% sales decline on an organic basis.

Net loss was $711.8 million compared to net income of $57.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, and adjusted net income was $151.1 million as compared to $175.2 million in the comparable prior period. Net loss margin was 43.8%. Adjusted EBITDA was $267.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.5%. Adjusted Operating Income was $237.3 million, and Adjusted Operating Income margin was 14.6%.

Diluted loss per share on a GAAP basis was $1.04, while adjusted EPS was $0.22.

During the third quarter of 2025, on a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $785.0 million related to our Distribution reporting unit. This charge reflects market conditions impacting the segment as well as recent actual and projected financial performance.

Operating cash flow was $207.4 million, while free cash flow was $171.7 million. Adjusted net leverage was 3.1x as of September 30, 2025.

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 (as applicable) 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.
