– Third-Quarter Revenue of $989.2 Million –

– Third-Quarter GAAP Earnings per Share of $1.88 and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share of $2.63 –

– Narrows 2022 Revenue Growth and Earnings Per Share Guidance –

– Announces Planned Divestiture of Avian Vaccine Business –

WILMINGTON, Mass.--()--Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today reported its results for the third quarter of 2022. For the quarter, revenue was $989.2 million, an increase of 10.4% from $895.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Acquisitions contributed 1.7% to consolidated third-quarter revenue growth. The divestitures of the Research Models and Services operations in Japan (RMS Japan) and CDMO site in Sweden (CDMO Sweden) in October 2021 reduced reported revenue growth by 2.1%. The impact of foreign currency translation reduced reported revenue growth by 4.5%. Excluding the effect of these items, organic revenue growth of 15.3% was driven by contributions from all three business segments, particularly the Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA) business segment.

On a GAAP basis, third-quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $96.5 million, a decrease of 6.7% from net income of $103.4 million for the same period in 2021. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $1.88, a decrease of 6.5% from $2.01 for the third quarter of 2021.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $134.7 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 3.2% from $139.1 million for the same period in 2021. Third-quarter diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $2.63, a decrease of 2.6% from $2.70 per share for the third quarter of 2021.

The decreases in GAAP and non-GAAP net income and earnings per share were primarily driven by lower operating margins, as well as increased interest expense and a higher tax rate. These factors were largely offset by higher revenue. On a GAAP basis, higher acquisition-related adjustments were offset by the performance of venture capital and other strategic investments, which totaled a gain of $0.04 per share in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $0.15 per share for the same period in 2021. The Company’s venture capital and other strategic investment performance has been excluded from non-GAAP results.

James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with our third-quarter operating performance, which demonstrates the power of our unique portfolio that is centered on preclinical R&D services to support the biopharmaceutical industry. With a large and diversified client base and a broad, non-clinical portfolio that differentiates Charles River from other outsourced service providers, we believe that we are an excellent barometer of the sustained health of the biopharmaceutical industry.”

“The third-quarter results reflect substantial revenue growth acceleration in the DSA segment, resulting from the strength of the Safety Assessment backlog that continues to afford us with excellent visibility into future client demand. We are confident that we will finish 2022 on a strong note and are encouraged by the solid growth prospects as we look into the new year,” Mr. Foster concluded.

Third-Quarter Segment Results

Research Models and Services (RMS)

Revenue for the RMS segment was $180.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 5.2% from $171.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. Organic revenue growth of 8.0% was primarily driven by research model services, particularly the Insourcing Solutions (IS) business, as well as small research models in North America and China.

In the third quarter of 2022, the RMS segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 19.9% from 22.8% in the third quarter of 2021, and on a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 23.5% from 26.1%. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin decreases were primarily driven by the revenue mix and higher costs in China, as well as expansion costs related to opening new CRADL™ and Explora sites in the Insourcing Solutions business.

Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA)

Revenue for the DSA segment was $619.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 16.5% from $531.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Organic revenue growth of 20.8% was primarily driven by broad-based growth in the Safety Assessment business, resulting from meaningful price increases and substantially higher study volume, both year-over-year and from first-half levels.

In the third quarter of 2022, the DSA segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 22.9% from 21.9% in the third quarter of 2021, and on a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 26.2% from 24.3%. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by operating leverage from higher revenue in the Safety Assessment business.

Manufacturing Solutions (Manufacturing)

Revenue for the Manufacturing segment was $189.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 1.7% from $192.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. Organic revenue growth of 6.0% reflected higher revenue in the Biologics Testing and Microbial Solutions businesses. These trends were partially offset by a revenue decline in the CDMO business.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Manufacturing segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 16.6% from 25.2% in the third quarter of 2021, and on a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 28.6% from 32.7%. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin decreases were primarily as a result of lower revenue in the CDMO business.

Avian Vaccine Divestiture

The Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to divest its Avian Vaccine business for approximately $170 million in cash with potential contingent payments of up to an additional $30 million, subject to certain closing adjustments.

The Avian Vaccine business, which is part of Charles River’s Manufacturing Solutions segment, produces specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken eggs and associated products and services, principally for avian vaccine manufacturers and researchers. It has approximately 250 employees across approximately 20 sites in the United States.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, and will not have a meaningful impact on 2022 revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share. In 2023, the divestiture is expected to reduce annual revenue by approximately $80 million and non-GAAP earnings per share by approximately $0.35, prior to any benefit from redeploying the proceeds towards other capital priorities. Items excluded from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to include gains on the sale of the businesses and all divestiture-related costs, which primarily include advisory fees and certain other transaction-related costs.

Updates 2022 Guidance

The Company is updating 2022 financial guidance, which was previously provided on August 3, 2022.

Revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per share guidance are being narrowed to the upper end of the prior ranges, reflecting the solid, third-quarter performance. GAAP earnings per share guidance is being narrowed to the low end of the prior range, primarily as a result of contingent consideration adjustments related to the CDMO Sweden divestiture. The planned divestiture of the Avian Vaccine business will not have a meaningful impact on revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share in 2022, and an estimate for the gain on the sale of the business has not been included in the GAAP earnings per share guidance below.

The impact of foreign exchange on reported revenue growth continues to be a meaningful headwind in 2022, which is unchanged from our prior outlook in August. Compared to 2021, foreign currency translation is expected to reduce GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share by $0.43 per share this year, which will reduce the earnings per share growth rates by approximately 550 basis points and 400 basis points on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, respectively.

The Company’s guidance includes the addition of a 53rd week this year, which is necessary to true up to a December 31 year-end. The 53rd week, which will occur in the fourth quarter, was previously incorporated into our 2022 financial guidance and is characterized by a light week of sales but normal costs. This is expected to result in a 1.5% benefit to full-year reported revenue growth, but generate a modest operating margin headwind in the fourth quarter.

The Company’s updated guidance for revenue growth, earnings per share, and cash flow is as follows:

Footnotes to Guidance Table:

(1) Organic revenue growth is defined as reported revenue growth adjusted for completed acquisitions and divestitures, the 53rd week in 2022, and foreign currency translation.
(2) These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions and divestitures, and primarily include transaction, advisory, certain third-party integration costs, and certain costs associated with acquisition-related efficiency initiatives, offset by adjustments related to contingent consideration and certain indirect tax liabilities.
(3) Venture capital and other strategic investment performance only includes recognized gains or losses. The Company does not forecast the future performance of these investments.
(4) These items primarily relate to charges associated with U.S. and international tax legislation that necessitated changes to the Company’s international financing structure; certain third-party legal costs related to (a) environmental litigation related to the Microbial Solutions business and (b) responses to a U.S. government industry-wide supply chain management inquiry applicable to our Safety Assessment business; and severance and other costs related to the Company’s efficiency initiatives.

Webcast

Charles River has scheduled a live webcast on Wednesday, November 2nd, at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss matters relating to this press release. To participate, please go to ir.criver.com and select the webcast link. You can also find the associated slide presentation and reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures on the website.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The Company reports non-GAAP results in this press release, which exclude often-one-time charges and other items that are outside of normal operations. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the schedules at the end of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP free cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude, but are not limited to, the amortization of intangible assets, and other charges and adjustments related to our acquisitions and divestitures; expenses associated with evaluating and integrating acquisitions and divestitures, including advisory fees and certain other transaction-related costs, as well as fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration; charges, gains, and losses attributable to businesses or properties we plan to close, consolidate, or divest; severance and other costs associated with our efficiency initiatives; the impact of the termination of the Company’s pension plans; the write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing; investment gains or losses associated with our venture capital and other strategic equity investments; certain legal costs in our Microbial Solutions business related to environmental litigation and in our Safety Assessment business related to producing responses to a U.S. government industry-wide supply chain management inquiry; and adjustments related to the recognition of deferred tax assets expected to be utilized as a result of changes to the our international financing structure and the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities as a result of foreign tax legislation. This press release also refers to our revenue on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis: “organic revenue growth,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency translation, acquisitions, divestitures, and the impact of the 53rd week in 2022. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, as they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. We believe that the financial impact of our acquisitions and divestitures (and in certain cases, the evaluation of such acquisitions and divestitures, whether or not ultimately consummated) is often large relative to our overall financial performance, which can adversely affect the comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis. In addition, certain activities and their underlying associated costs, such as business acquisitions, generally occur periodically but on an unpredictable basis. We calculate non-GAAP integration costs to include third-party integration costs incurred post-acquisition. Presenting revenue on an organic basis allows investors to measure our revenue growth exclusive of acquisitions, divestitures, the 53rd week in 2022, and foreign currency exchange fluctuations more clearly. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company’s operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules and regulations. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in this press release, and can also be found on the Company’s website at ir.criver.com.

Charles River management believes that supplementary non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to allow investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, without the effect of often-one-time charges and other items which are outside our normal operations, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the Company’s performance. The supplementary non-GAAP financial measures included are not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company intends to continue to assess the potential value of reporting non-GAAP results consistent with applicable rules, regulations and guidance.

(2)

 

These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions, which primarily include transaction, third-party integration, and certain compensation costs, fair value adjustments associated with contingent consideration, and an adjustment related to certain indirect tax liabilities.

(3)

 

Other items include certain third-party legal costs related to (a) an environmental litigation related to the Microbial business and (b) responses to a U.S. government industry-wide supply chain management inquiry applicable to our Safety Assessment business.
