What management said

  • For more than two decades, we've all benefited from your outstanding financial leadership, your thoughtful guidance, and trusted partnership.
  • Strong growth in our bioprocessing business, paired with disciplined cost management, enabled us to exceed both our adjusted operating profit margin and cash flow expectations for the quarter.
  • Academic and government demand remained soft as expected, with ongoing uncertainty around research funding.
  • We're well-positioned in attractive end markets, driven largely by non-discretionary healthcare needs and supported by strong secular growth drivers.
  • On top of this, our strong balance sheet and free cash flow generation positions us well to further enhance our portfolio going forward.
  • Sales were $5.9 billion in the second quarter, and we delivered 1.5% core revenue growth.
  • Geographically, core revenues in developed markets were up low single-digits, with North America up slightly and a high single-digit increase in Western Europe.
  • Core revenues in high-growth markets were flat overall, as solid performance outside of China was offset by a mid-single-digit decline in China.
  • Growth in our biotechnology and life sciences businesses in China was more than offset by declines in diagnostics due to volume-based procurement and reimbursement changes implemented in late 2024.
  • Our adjusted operating profit margin of 27.3% was flat year-over-year as the favorable impacts of higher volume leverage, product mix, and disciplined cost management were offset by productivity investments to reduce our structural costs.
  • Adjusted diluted net earnings per common share of $1.80 were up approximately 5% year-over-year.
  • We generated $1.1 billion of free cash flow in the quarter and $2.2 billion in the first half of the year, resulting in a year-to-date free cash flow-to-net income conversion ratio of 143%.
