Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Net earnings attributable to Labcorp rose to $277.8 million from $212.8 million, with diluted EPS increasing to $3.35 from $2.52. Cost of revenues fell slightly as a percentage of sales and SG&A leveraged on higher revenue, supporting operating income of $380.8 million.

accounts receivable securitization facility financial
"entered into a $300.0 three-year accounts receivable securitization facility with PNC Bank"
A accounts receivable securitization facility is a financing arrangement where a company converts its unpaid customer invoices into immediate cash by selling them or using them as collateral for a line of credit. Think of it like using a stack of IOUs as a short-term loan to smooth cash flow; it matters to investors because it changes a company’s liquidity, borrowing profile and risk exposure without necessarily showing up as traditional debt, affecting valuation and credit health.
contingent consideration financial
"Contingent consideration related to business acquisitions was $89.8 in 2026"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
segment operating income financial
"Dx segment operating income was $458.7 and BLS segment operating income was $120.7"
Segment operating income is the profit a company earns from one specific part of its business after subtracting the costs of running that part but before interest, taxes and corporate-level items. For investors, it shows which divisions are actually generating operating profit and lets you compare the health and efficiency of different business “slices,” much like checking the cash a single store in a chain makes before company-wide overhead is applied.
cross currency swaps financial
"The Company is party to various USD to Swiss Franc cross-currency swap agreements"
A cross-currency swap is a contract where two parties agree to exchange amounts of money and the interest payments tied to those amounts in different currencies for a set period, then swap the original amounts back at maturity. Think of it like two neighbors swapping their local paychecks and agreeing to pay each other interest in the other's money; investors use these swaps to lock in borrowing costs, manage currency risk, or gain foreign-currency exposure without buying the actual currencies.
AR Facility financial
"the Company amended its AR Facility, increasing the amount it can borrow"
Accumulated other comprehensive loss financial
"Resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss"
Accumulated other comprehensive loss is the running negative total of certain gains and losses that companies record outside their regular profit-and-loss statement, such as changes in the value of some investments, pension adjustments, or currency translation effects. It matters to investors because it reduces shareholders’ equity and reveals economic swings that haven’t affected reported net income yet — like a side ledger showing pending ups and downs that could influence future cash flow or balance-sheet strength.

1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Labcorp® Holdings Inc. (Labcorp, LHI, or the Company) is a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services that provides vital information to help doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, and patients make clear and confident decisions. By leveraging its unparalleled diagnostics and drug development capabilities, the Company provides insights and accelerates innovations to improve health and improve lives.
The Company reports its business in two segments, Diagnostics Laboratories and Biopharma Laboratory Services. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, Dx and BLS contributed approximately 78 % and 22 %, respectively, of Revenues to the Company.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2025 presented herein, was derived from the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP, which are contained within the Annual Report.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP for interim reporting. As such, certain notes or other information that are normally required by the SEC or GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained within its Annual Report. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The Company also has investments in other companies or investment funds that develop technology relating to the Company’s operations. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20 % and no representation on the investee’s board of directors) are accounted for at fair value, or at cost minus impairment adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer for those investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The carrying value of these type of investments was $201.6 and $201.9 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included within Other assets, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The financial statements of the Company’s operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This accounting pronouncement provides all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets when measuring credit losses. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. This accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use-Software (Topic 350): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This accounting pronouncement improves the operability of the existing guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this accounting pronouncement will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company acquired various businesses and related assets for total consideration of $312.0 .

The preliminary purchase considerations for these acquisitions were allocated under the acquisition method of accounting to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired. A residual amount of tax-deductible goodwill, including measurement period adjustments relating to prior acquisitions, of $175.9 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Labcorp Holdings Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Labcorp Holdings Inc., and if applicable, including the impact of dilutive adjustments by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares, as if they had been issued at the earlier of the date of issuance or the beginning of the period presented. Potentially dilutive common shares result primarily from the Company’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and/or performance share awards.

Credit Facilities
On March 20, 2026, the Company entered into the $750.0 2026 Term Loan that will mature on March 20, 2028, and anticipates using the proceeds to repay maturing short-term debt and for other corporate uses. The principal balance of the 2026 Term Loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either (i) a SOFR-based rate plus a margin of 0.700 % or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 0.0 %. As of March 31, 2026, the effective interest rate on the 2026 Term Loan was 4.39 %.
The Company maintains a senior revolving credit facility, which was amended and restated on June 27, 2025. It consists of a five-year revolving facility in the principal amount of up to $1,000.0 , with the option of increasing the facility by up to an additional $500.0 , subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from new or existing lenders. The revolving credit facility also provides for a subfacility of up to $100.0 for swing line borrowings and a subfacility of up to $150.0 for issuances of letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to either (i) a SOFR-based rate plus a margin ranging from 0.805 % to 1.300 % or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0 % to 0.300 %, in each case depending on the Company’s long-term debt ratings. The Company is required to pay a facility fee

quarterly on the aggregate amount of commitments under the revolving credit facility, at a per annum rate ranging from 0.070% to 0.200% , depending on the Company’s long-term debt ratings, regardless of usage. The revolving credit facility is permitted to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, funding of share repurchases and certain other payments, acquisitions, and other investments. At March 31, 2026, there were no balances outstanding on the Company’s current revolving credit facility and $107.4 in outstanding letters of credit on the Company’s subfacility. At March 31, 2026, the effective interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.67 %. The revolving credit facility expires in June 2030.
On August 23, 2024, the Company and a SPV entered into a $300.0 three-year accounts receivable securitization facility with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC) as administrative agent. The AR Facility provides for purchases of accounts receivable by PNC in an amount of up to $300.0 through August 2027, and may increase up to $700.0 , subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
On January 31, 2025, the Company amended its AR Facility. The amended AR Facility increased the amount the Company can borrow from $300.0 to $700.0 through August of 2027. On January 28, 2026, the Company further amended its AR Facility. Among other things, this amendment extended the scheduled termination date to January 26, 2029, and permits the Company at its option to increase the facility limit from $700.0 to $825.0 at any time on or before May 29, 2026.
The SPV is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The SPV’s sole business consists of the continuous purchase of receivables from the Company which is used as collateral for the loan. Although the SPV is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, it is a separate legal entity with separate creditors.
Upon the transfer of ownership and control of the receivables to the SPV, the Company has no retained interests in the receivables sold and they become unavailable to the Company’s creditors should the relevant seller become insolvent. The Company has collection and administrative responsibilities for the receivables sold to the SPV.
The Company received no loan proceeds under the AR Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received loan proceeds of $225.0 under the AR Facility, which are included in cash from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Under the Company’s 2026 Term Loan, revolving credit facility, indentures relating to the Company’s senior notes, and AR Facility, the Company is subject to negative covenants limiting subsidiary indebtedness and certain other covenants typical for investment grade-rated borrowers, and with respect to the 2026 Term Loan and revolving credit facility, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and leverage ratios at March 31, 2026, and expects that it will remain in compliance with its existing covenants and leverage ratios for the next 12 months.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
The Company has a noncancelable contract with a vendor to purchase supplies inventory pursuant to which the Company is obligated to make expected total future minimum payments of $122.3 , including $27.8 for the remainder of 2026, $20.5 in 2027, and $74.0 in 2028.
Legal Contingencies
The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation (including those described in more detail below), arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions involve claims that are substantial in amount. These matters include, but are not limited to, intellectual property disputes, commercial and contract disputes, professional liability claims, employee-related matters, transaction-related disputes, securities and corporate law matters, and inquiries, including subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid payers, and MCOs reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties. The Company receives civil investigative demands or other inquiries from various governmental bodies in the ordinary course of its business. Such inquiries can relate to the Company or other parties, including physicians and other health care providers. The Company works cooperatively to respond to appropriate requests for information.
The Company also is named from time to time in suits brought under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act and comparable state laws. These suits typically allege that the Company has made false statements and/or certifications in connection with claims for payment from U.S. federal or state healthcare programs. The suits may remain under seal (hence, unknown to the Company) for some time while the government decides whether to intervene on behalf of the qui tam plaintiff. Such claims are an inevitable part of doing business in the healthcare field today.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all statutes, regulations, and other requirements applicable to its commercial laboratory operations and drug development support services. The healthcare diagnostics and drug development industries are, however, subject to extensive regulation, and the courts have not interpreted many of the applicable statutes and regulations. Therefore, the applicable statutes and regulations could be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that would adversely affect the Company. Potential sanctions for violation of these

(Unaudited)
statutes and regulations include significant civil and criminal penalties, fines, the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations, additional liabilities from third-party claims, and/or exclusion from participation in government programs.
Many of the current claims and legal actions against the Company are in preliminary stages, and many of these cases seek an indeterminate amount of damages. The Company records an aggregate legal reserve, which is determined using calculations based on historical loss rates and assessment of trends experienced in settlements and defense costs. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies, the Company establishes reserves for judicial, regulatory, and arbitration matters outside the aggregate legal reserve if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable and would exceed the aggregate legal reserve. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When loss contingencies are not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not establish separate reserves.
The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for the proceedings described in more detail below in which damages either have not been specified or, in the Company’s judgment, are unsupported and/or exaggerated and (i) the proceedings are in early stages, (ii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, (iii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (iv) there are novel legal issues to be presented. For these proceedings, however, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the adverse outcomes are probable and reasonably estimable, and it does not believe they will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has received various subpoenas and other civil investigative demands related to Medicaid billing. In October 2013, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand from the State of Texas Office of the Attorney General requesting documents related to its billing to Texas Medicaid. The Company cooperated with this request. On October 5, 2018, the Company received a second Civil Investigative Demand from the State of Texas Office of the Attorney General requesting documents related to its billing to Texas Medicaid. The Company cooperated with this request. On January 26, 2021, the Company was notified that a qui tam Petition was pending under seal in the District Court, 250th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas, and that the State of Texas had intervened. On April 14, 2021, the Petition was unsealed. The Petition alleges that the Company submitted claims for reimbursement to Texas Medicaid that were higher than permitted under Texas Medicaid’s alleged “best price” regulations, and that the Company offered remuneration to Texas healthcare providers in the form of discounted pricing for certain laboratory testing services in exchange for the providers’ referral of Texas Medicaid business to the Company. The Petition seeks actual and double damages and civil penalties, as well as recovery of costs, attorney’s fees, and legal expenses. On August 1, 2022, the District Court entered an order granting the Company’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment with respect to the claim that the Company submitted claims for reimbursement to Texas Medicaid that were higher than permitted under Texas Medicaid’s alleged “best price” regulations. Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Non-Suit and Motion for Entry of Final Judgment and, on November 11, 2022, the court entered a judgment. Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with respect to the court’s order granting the Company’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, referenced above. On December 31, 2024, the Texas Court of Appeals issued a decision reversing the District Court’s order granting the Company’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. On February 28, 2025, the Company filed in the Texas Supreme Court a Petition for Review with respect to the Texas Court of Appeals decision. On January 16, 2026, the Texas Supreme Court granted the Petition for Review, and on February 12, 2026, the Texas Supreme Court held oral argument. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.
On May 14, 2019, Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, Inc. d/b/a AMCA, an external collection agency, notified the Company about a security incident AMCA experienced that may have involved certain personal information about some of the Company’s patients (the AMCA Incident). The Company referred patient balances to AMCA only when direct collection efforts were unsuccessful. The Company’s systems were not impacted by the AMCA Incident. Upon learning of the AMCA Incident, the Company promptly stopped sending new collection requests to AMCA and stopped AMCA from continuing to work on any pending collection requests from the Company. AMCA informed the Company that it appeared that an unauthorized user had access to AMCA’s system between August 1, 2018, and March 30, 2019, and that AMCA could not rule out the possibility that personal information on AMCA’s system was at risk during that time period. Information on AMCA’s affected system from the Company may have included name, address, and balance information for the patient and person responsible for payment, along with the patient’s phone number, date of birth, referring physician, and date of service. The Company was later informed by AMCA that health insurance information may have been included for some individuals, and because some insurance carriers utilize the Social Security Number as a subscriber identification number, the Social Security Number for some individuals may also have been affected. No ordered tests, laboratory test results, or diagnostic information from the Company were in the AMCA affected system. The Company notified individuals for whom it had a valid mailing

address. For the individuals whose Social Security Number was affected, the notice included an offer to enroll in credit monitoring and identity protection services that was provided free of charge for 24 months.
Twenty-three putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company related to the AMCA Incident in various U.S. District Courts. Numerous similar lawsuits have been filed against other healthcare providers who used AMCA. These lawsuits were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation in the District of New Jersey. On November 15, 2019, the Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey. The consolidated Complaint generally alleged that the Company did not adequately protect its patients’ data and failed to timely notify those patients of the AMCA Incident. The Complaint asserted various causes of action, including but not limited to negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and the violation of state data protection statutes. The Complaint sought damages on behalf of a class of all affected Company customers. On January 22, 2020, the Company filed Motions to Dismiss all claims. On December 16, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s Motion to Dismiss. On March 31, 2022, the Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint alleging claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of confidence, invasion of privacy, and various state statutory claims, including a claim under the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss certain claims of the Amended Complaint. On May 5, 2023, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s Motion to Dismiss. On November 1, 2024, Plaintiffs served their motion for class certification. On March 2, 2026, the parties entered into a Class Action Settlement and Release, which is subject to court approval.
The Company was served with a shareholder derivative lawsuit, Raymond Eugenio, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings v. Lance Berberian, et al., filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on April 23, 2020. The complaint asserts derivative claims on the Company’s behalf against the Company’s board of directors and certain executive officers. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants failed to ensure that the Company utilized proper cybersecurity safeguards and failed to implement a sufficient response to data security incidents, including the AMCA Incident. The complaint asserts derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and seeks relief including damages, certain disclosures, and certain changes to the Company’s internal governance practices. On June 2, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Stay the lawsuit due to its overlap with the multi-district litigation referenced above. On July 2, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss. On July 14, 2020, the court entered an order staying the lawsuit pending the resolution of the multi-district litigation. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.
Certain governmental entities have requested information from the Company related to the AMCA Incident. The Company received a request for information from the OCR of the Department of Health and Human Services. On April 28, 2020, OCR notified the Company of the closure of its inquiry. The Company has also received requests from a multi-state group of state Attorneys General and is cooperating with these requests for information.
On January 31, 2020, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit, Luke Davis and Julian Vargas, et al. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit alleges that visually impaired patients are unable to use the Company’s touchscreen kiosks at Company PSCs in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar California statutes. The lawsuit seeks statutory damages, injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees and costs. On March 20, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint and to Strike Class Allegations. In August 2020, the Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. On April 26, 2021, the Plaintiffs and the Company each filed Motions for Summary Judgment and the Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Class Certification.

On March 25, 2024, the Company filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc with the Ninth Circuit. On April 18, 2024, the Ninth Circuit denied the Petition for Rehearing En Banc. On September 13, 2024, the Company filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which was granted on January 24, 2025, and then dismissed on June 5, 2025. In March 2026, the parties filed cross Motions for Summary Judgment. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.
On October 16, 2020, Ravgen Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit, Ravgen Inc. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, alleging infringement of two Ravgen-owned U.S. patents. The lawsuit sought monetary damages, enhancement of those damages for willfulness, and recovery of attorney’s fees and costs.

Laboratory Corporation of America, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, and Meta Platforms, Inc., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that the Company’s website includes a tracking code created by Meta, known as the Meta Pixel, that sent information related to Plaintiffs and their online activities to Meta.

There are various other pending legal proceedings involving the Company including, but not limited to, additional employment-related lawsuits, professional liability lawsuits, and commercial lawsuits. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of the Company, the likelihood of loss is remote and any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.
Under the Company’s present insurance programs, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposure as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. The Company is responsible for the uninsured portion of losses related primarily to general, professional and vehicle liability, certain medical costs and workers’ compensation. The self-insured retentions are on a per-occurrence basis without any aggregate annual limit. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregated liability of claims incurred.

(1)At March 31, 2026, $75.5 and $64.3 of contingent consideration is included within Accrued expenses and other and Other liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has a noncontrolling interest put option related to its Ontario subsidiary that has been classified as mezzanine equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncontrolling interest put is valued at its contractually determined value, which approximates fair value.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments have been determined based on market value equivalents at the balance sheet date, taking into account the current interest rate environment and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in an employee-funded DCP. A participant’s deferrals are allocated by the participant to one or more of multiple measurement funds, which are indexed to externally managed funds. From time to time, to offset the cost of the growth in the participant’s investment accounts, the Company purchases life insurance policies, with the Company named as beneficiary of the policies. Changes in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are based upon earnings and changes in the value of the underlying investments, which are typically invested in a similar manner to the participant’s allocations. Changes in the fair value of the DCP obligation are derived using quoted prices in active markets based on the market price per unit multiplied by the number of units. The cash surrender value and the DCP obligations are classified within Level 2 because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments.
The Company measured the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities as Level 3 instruments. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted, if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. Although recorded at amortized cost on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the fair market value of the Company’s senior notes was $4,915.9 and $4,963.6 at March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the Company’s 2026 Term Loan, also recorded at amortized cost, was estimated to approximate fair value primarily due to its variable interest rate. The Company’s senior notes and 2026 Term Loan are considered Level 2 instruments, as the fair market values of these instruments are based on observable market pricing/inputs.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company is party to fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements for its 2.70 % senior notes due 2031 with an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 and variable interest rates currently based on the compounded SOFR, plus 1.33 %.

exposure, are accounted for at fair value. These derivative financial instruments are accounted for as fair value hedges that increase or decrease the value of the Company’s senior notes with the offset being recorded as a component of other long-term assets or liabilities, as applicable. As the specific terms and notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments match those of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, the derivative instruments are assumed to be perfectly effective hedges and accordingly, there is no impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cross Currency Swaps
The Company is party to various USD to Swiss Franc cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1,200.0 , with $300.0 maturing in 2029, $300.0 maturing in 2031, and $600.0 maturing in 2034.
The above instruments are designated as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss subsidiary. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps are charged or credited through Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cumulative amount of the fair value hedging adjustments is recognized as currency translation within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Earnings.

11. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following table is a summary of segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025. The “management approach” has been used to present the following segment information. This approach is based upon the way the management of the Company organizes segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Financial information is reported on the basis that it is used internally by the CODM for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company’s chief executive officer has been identified as the CODM.
The Company’s CODM uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. This segment performance measure excludes the amortization of intangibles and other assets, restructuring and other charges, goodwill and other asset impairments, and certain corporate charges for items such as transaction costs and other special items. Other operating expenses are comprised primarily of rent, maintenance, sendout testing, utilities, travel and entertainment, and other segment expenses, including shipping costs for Dx. Segment asset information is not presented because it is not used by the CODM.

GENERAL (dollars in millions)
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s revenues were $3,537.6, an increase of 5.8% from $3,345.1 for the corresponding period in 2025. The 5.8% increase for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, was due to organic revenue of 3.1%, acquisitions, net of divestitures, of 1.4%, and favorable foreign currency translation of 1.3%.
The Company defines organic revenue and organic growth as the increase in revenues excluding the year-over-year impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and currency, as well as other strategic actions taken in ED. The impacts relating to acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic actions are considered for a 12-month period following the closing of each transaction.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the OBBBA, which includes provisions addressing regulations and federal funding affecting healthcare. These provisions include, but are not limited to, changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, and could lead to revised regulatory requirements and reduced federal funding. As a result of these changes, the Company could experience a decline in utilization of its diagnostics testing services due to a reduction in overall insurance coverage, which may cause the Company’s revenue to decrease. However, the Company currently believes any such reduction would not likely have a material impact on its results of operations in future periods. The potential impacts described above represent the Company’s assessment at this time, and the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the OBBBA on its business and operations as the legislation’s provisions continue to become effective through 2028.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in millions)

Dx revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $2,762.1, an increase of 5.0% over $2,629.6 in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to organic revenue of 2.9%, acquisitions, net of divestitures, of 2.0%, and favorable foreign currency translation of 0.2%.
Dx total volume, measured by requisitions, increased by 2.5% as acquisition volume, net of divestitures, contributed 1.4% and organic volume increased by 1.1%, which includes an unfavorable impact from weather. Price/mix increased by 2.6% due to organic growth of 1.8%, acquisitions, net of divestitures, of 0.6%, and favorable foreign currency translation of 0.2%.
BLS revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $780.6, an increase of 8.2% over $721.3 in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was due to favorable foreign currency translation of 5.5% and organic growth of 3.7%, partially offset by an unfavorable impact related to strategic actions undertaken in ED of 1.0%.

The change in Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily due to foreign currency transaction losses of $5.4 recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to losses of $1.0 for the corresponding period of 2025. In addition, there were investment losses of $7.1, recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to investment losses of $3.4 for the corresponding period of 2025. As the TSA between Fortrea and LCAH expired on June 30, 2025, there were no fees charged to Fortrea for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $3.3 in the corresponding period in 2025.

The increase in operating income and operating margin was primarily due to growth in the Central Laboratory business.
General corporate and unallocated expenses are comprised primarily of administrative services such as executive management, human resources, legal, finance, corporate affairs, and information technology. General corporate and unallocated expenses were $116.6 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $15.8 compared to general corporate and unallocated expenses of $132.4 in the corresponding period of 2025, primarily due to decreases in acquisition and disposition-related costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
The Company’s cash-generating capability and financial condition typically have provided ready access to capital markets. The Company’s principal source of liquidity is operating cash flow, supplemented by proceeds from debt offerings. The Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility is further discussed in Note 6 Debt to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In summary the Company’s cash flows were as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 191.5 | $ | 18.5 | |||||||
| Net cash used for investing activities | (322.1) | (336.0) | |||||||||
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities | 580.5 | (839.7) | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate on changes in Cash and cash equivalents | (1.1) | 7.9 | |||||||||
Net increase (decrease) in Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 448.8 | $ | (1,149.3) | |||||||
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026, and 2025, totaled $981.1 and $369.4, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments, such as time deposits, and other money market investments, which have original maturities of three months or less.
In addition to Cash and cash equivalents, at March 31, 2026, the Company had $1,000.0 of available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, which, as amended on June 27, 2025, expires in 2030.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s operations provided $191.5 of cash as compared to $18.5 during the same period in 2025. The $173.0 increase in net cash provided from operations in 2026 as compared with the corresponding 2025 period was primarily due to higher cash earnings.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $322.1 as compared to $336.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period in 2025, was primarily due to a decrease in purchases of equity affiliate or other investments and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase in business acquisitions.
Capital expenditures were $121.0 and $126.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were 3.4% of revenues, primarily in connection with projects to support growth in the Company’s core businesses, facility expansion and updates, and further acquisition integration activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $580.5 as compared to net cash used for financing activities of $839.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The movement in cash flows within financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a decrease in payments on senior notes of $1,000.0, an increase in proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan of $750.0, a decrease in proceeds from the Company’s AR Facility of $225.0, and an increase of Common Stock repurchases of $98.0.
On January 28, 2026, the Company further amended its AR Facility. Among other things, this amendment extended the scheduled termination date to January 26, 2029, and permits the Company at its option to increase the facility limit from $700.0 to $825.0 at any time on or before May 29, 2026.
On March 20, 2026, the Company entered into the $750.0 2026 Term Loan that will mature on March 20, 2028, and anticipates using the proceeds to repay maturing short-term debt and for other corporate uses. The principal balance of the 2026 Term Loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to, at the Company’s election, either (i) a SOFR-based rate plus a margin of 0.700% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 0.0%. The balance of the 2026 Term Loan at March 31, 2026, was $750.0.
Under the Company’s 2026 Term Loan, revolving credit facility, indentures relating to the Company’s senior notes, and AR Facility, the Company is subject to negative covenants limiting subsidiary indebtedness and certain other covenants typical for investment grade-rated borrowers, and with respect to the 2026 Term Loan and revolving credit facility, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2026, and expects that it will remain in compliance with its existing debt covenants for the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding authorization from its Board to purchase up to $732.4 maximum value of Common Stock. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid $61.2 in Common Stock dividends. On April 9, 2026, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.72 per share of Common Stock, or approximately $60.0 in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on June 11, 2026, to stockholders of record of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of

the close of business on May 29, 2026. The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board.
Guarantor Information
In 2024, the Company, LCAH and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the Trustee) entered into a seventeenth supplemental indenture (the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture) to the indenture, dated as of November 19, 2010, between LCAH and the Trustee (2010 Indenture). In addition, the Company, LCAH and the Trustee entered into the 2024 Indenture on September 23, 2024 (the 2024 Indenture, together with the 2010 Indenture, the Indentures). The Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, among other things, provides for the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of LCAH’s obligations under the 2010 Indenture, and each series of senior unsecured notes issued and outstanding thereunder, and the 2024 Indenture provides for the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of LCAH’s obligations, and each series of senior unsecured notes issued and outstanding, thereunder (collectively, the Labcorp Holdings Guarantees). Also, the Indentures permit the Company to satisfy LCAH’s reporting obligations so long as the Labcorp Holdings Guarantees remain in place and the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other information comply with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.
At March 31, 2026, there was $3,096.2 and $2,000.0 aggregate principal amount of issued and outstanding senior notes of LCAH, issued under the 2010 Indenture and the 2024 Indenture, respectively, that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, separate consolidated financial statements of LCAH have not been presented. As permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for LCAH because the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of LCAH are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.
Credit Ratings
The investment grade credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P Global Ratings contribute to the Company’s ability to access capital markets.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has a noncancelable contract with a vendor to purchase supplies inventory pursuant to which the Company is obligated to make expected total future minimum payments of $122.3, including $27.8 for the remainder of 2026, $20.5 in 2027, and $74.0 in 2028.
Other Commercial Commitments
The Company has debt instruments outstanding. At March 31, 2026, the Company had total future payments of $6,371.6, with $500.4 payable within 12 months, which the Company anticipates to repay primarily using the proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan.
The Company has leases for PSCs, laboratories and testing facilities, clinical facilities, general office spaces, vehicles, and office and laboratory equipment. At March 31, 2026, the Company had total future lease payments for short-term and long-term leases of $1,092.8, with payments of $221.0 due within 12 months.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had provided letters of credit aggregating approximately $107.4, primarily in connection with certain insurance programs which are renewed annually.
At March 31, 2026, and in connection with the pending acquisitions of select assets of the outreach business from Parkview, the Company expects to pay up to $165.0. Subject to customary closing conditions and applicable regulatory approvals, the Company expects the acquisition of select assets from Parkview to close in 2026. See Note 3 Business Acquisitions to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operations, coupled with availability under its revolving credit facility and the 2026 Term Loan, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet both its anticipated short-term and long-term cash needs for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future; however, the Company continually reassesses its liquidity position in light of market conditions and other relevant factors.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The impact of recent accounting pronouncements, if any, is discussed in Note 1 Basis of Financial Statement Presentation to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollar amounts in millions)
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market rate or price changes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, and the Company regularly evaluates the exposure to such changes. The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Approximately 14.3% and 13.0% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, were denominated in currencies other than the USD. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reported in USD and, accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates will affect the translation of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies into USD for the purpose of reporting the Company’s consolidated financial results. In the first quarter of 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc, Euro, and British Pound. Excluding the impacts from any outstanding or future hedging transactions, a hypothetical change of 10% in average exchange rates used to translate all foreign currencies to USD would have impacted income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, by approximately $8.1. Accumulated currency translation adjustments recorded as a separate component of Shareholders’ equity were $(36.0) and $69.7 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The Company does not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary.
The Company earns revenue from service contracts over a period of several months, and in some cases, over a period of several years. Accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations during this period may affect the Company’s profitability with respect to such contracts. The Company is also subject to foreign currency transaction risk for fluctuations in exchange rates during the period of time between the consummation and cash settlement of transactions. The Company limits its foreign currency transaction risk through exchange rate fluctuation provisions stated in some of its contracts with customers, or it may hedge transaction risk with foreign currency forward contracts. At March 31, 2026, the Company had 11 open foreign exchange forward contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through April 2026 with a notional value totaling approximately $367.3. At December 31, 2025, the Company had eight open foreign exchange forward contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through January 2026 with a notional value totaling approximately $238.0.
The Company is a party to USD to Swiss Franc cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1,200.0, $300.0 maturing in 2029, $300.0 maturing in 2031, and $600.0 maturing in 2034, as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss Franc functional currency subsidiary.
Interest Rates
Some of the Company’s debt is subject to interest at variable rates. As a result, fluctuations in interest rates affect the Company’s financial results. The Company attempts to manage interest rate risk and overall borrowing costs through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt including the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.
Borrowings under the Company’s 2026 Term Loan, revolving credit facility, and AR Facility are subject to variable interest rates, unless fixed through interest rate swaps or other agreements. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $750.0 and $525.0 of variable rate debt outstanding under its 2026 Term Loan and AR Facility, respectively. Each quarter-point increase or decrease in the variable rate would result in the Company’s interest expense changing by approximately $3.2 per year for the Company’s debt currently outstanding under its 2026 Term Loan and AR Facility.
To hedge against changes in the fair value portion of the Company’s long-term debt, the Company is party to fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements for the 2.70% senior notes due 2031 with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 and variable interest rates currently based on the compounded SOFR, plus 1.33%.
