Insights

Labcorp showed 5.3% revenue growth, increased adjusted EPS, and raised guidance despite mixed results in Q1 2025.

Labcorp delivered mixed but generally positive Q1 2025 results with revenue growing 5.3% year-over-year to $3.35 billion (2.1% organic growth, 3.7% from acquisitions). While GAAP EPS declined from $2.69 to $2.52, adjusted EPS increased from $3.68 to $3.84, indicating underlying operational improvements when excluding one-time charges.

Adjusted operating income rose to $469 million from $452.8 million last year, though adjusted operating margin declined slightly from 14.3% to 14.0%, partly attributed to the Invitae acquisition. Cash flow metrics showed improvement with operating cash flow reaching $18.5 million compared to negative $29.8 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to timing of working capital. Free cash flow, while still negative at -$107.5 million, improved from -$163.6 million last year.

Diagnostics Labs revenue increased 6.0% (1.6% organic), despite weather impacts and one fewer revenue day, with requisition volume up 3.0%. Biopharma Services grew 1.5% (2.6% organic), with Early Development revenue up 4.4% and Central Labs revenue up just 0.3%, reflecting tough comparisons to last year's COVID-19 related revenue.

Management maintained full-year revenue growth guidance of 6.7-8.0% but raised the midpoint of adjusted EPS guidance by $0.05 to $15.70-$16.40, while maintaining free cash flow guidance of $1.10-1.25 billion. The balance sheet shows $0.37 billion in cash and $5.57 billion in total debt, with $210.5 million deployed for acquisitions and $61.6 million for dividends during the quarter.

Labcorp strengthens market position through acquisitions and launches innovative diagnostics in oncology and neurology.

Labcorp's Q1 results highlight strategic moves to strengthen market position through targeted acquisitions and innovative test launches. The company entered a collaboration with Inspira Health to manage hospital laboratories, acquired BioReference Health's oncology testing assets, and completed the acquisition of North Mississippi Health Services' outreach lab business, extending Labcorp's hospital and laboratory partnership strategy.

The company introduced several new tests, including Labcorp Plasma Complete liquid biopsy for cancer treatment decisions and the pTau-217/Beta Amyloid 42 Ratio test for Alzheimer's diagnosis. These additions, along with expanded self-collection options for HPV and STI testing and new Labcorp OnDemand offerings, enhance the company's diagnostic capabilities in strategic areas including oncology, women's health, autoimmune disease, and neurology.

In Biopharma Laboratory Services, backlog stands at $8.18 billion (up 3.5% year-over-year) with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.07, indicating continued demand. Early Development revenue grew 4.4%, while Central Labs revenue increased just 0.3%, affected by tough comparisons to last year's COVID-19 related revenue. The segment's adjusted operating margin improved from 14.1% to 14.8%, attributed to organic demand and LaunchPad savings.

The launch of eClaim Assist, a digital platform to improve billing workflows, demonstrates Labcorp's investment in operational efficiency. The quarterly cash dividend of $0.72 per share and publication of the 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report round out the company's activities during the quarter, positioning Labcorp to continue delivering diagnostic and drug development services.

Use of Adjusted Measures

The company has provided in this press release and accompanying tables "adjusted" financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net income, adjusted EPS (or adjusted net income per share), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, and certain segment information. The company believes these adjusted measures are useful to investors as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the company's operational performance. The company further believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors in evaluating operating results and trends, and growth and shareholder returns, as well as in comparing the company's financial results with the financial results of other companies. However, the company notes that these adjusted measures may be different from and not directly comparable to the measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures and an identification of the components that comprise "special items" used for certain adjusted financial information are included in the tables accompanying this press release.

The company today is providing an investor relations presentation with additional information on its business and operations, which is available in the investor relations section of the company's website at www.Labcorp.com. Analysts and investors are directed to the website to review this supplemental information.
