QIAGEN exceeds outlook for Q1 2022, delivers strong 14% CER sales growth from non-COVID products and increases full-year outlook

  • Q1 2022: Net sales rise 11% (+15% constant exchange rates, or CER) to $628.4 million vs. outlook for at least 7% CER growth; diluted EPS of $0.67 and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.80 ($0.83 CER) vs. outlook for at least $0.72 CER
  • 14% CER rise in non-COVID sales, while COVID-19 sales grow 18% CER
  • Operating cash flow rises 61% to $207 million, free cash flow increases 116% to $178 million
  • 2022 net sales outlook raised to at least $2.12 billion CER, reaffirmed double-digit CER growth in non-COVID products; adj. diluted EPS outlook raised to at least $2.14 CER

QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced results for the first quarter of 2022 and increased the outlook for full-year 2022.

Net sales for Q1 2022 rose 11% (+15% CER) from Q1 2021 to $628.4 million, ahead of the outlook for at least 7% CER growth. Sales were driven by 14% CER growth in the non-COVID-19 product portfolio and an 18% CER rise in sales of products used for COVID-19 testing and surveillance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) rose to $0.80 ($0.83 CER) from $0.66 in Q1 2021, and above the outlook for at least $0.72 CER.

Based on the strong start to the year, QIAGEN has increased its full-year 2022 net sales outlook to at least $2.12 billion CER and for adjusted diluted EPS of at least $2.14 CER.

The updated outlook reflects a reaffirmation of the previous goal for double-digit CER sales growth from the non-COVID product groups, but for a significant year-on-year decline in COVID-19 product group sales based on the expected volatile pandemic trends in 2022. Also taken into consideration was an updated assessment of current inflation and macro-economic trends. This included the adverse impact of anticipated lost sales in 2022 from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus as a result of the war in Ukraine. These countries represented approximately 1% of total QIAGEN sales in 2021. QIAGEN continues to make ongoing investments into its portfolio, in particular the five pillars of growth, for new products, test menu and applications. This outlook does not take into consideration any future acquisitions.

"QIAGEN is off to a strong start in 2022, led by the solid performance of our non-COVID product portfolio in the first quarter driven by a focus on execution against our goals. These results have also reaffirmed our confidence in double-digit CER sales growth for 2022 from these products, which form the basis for our mid-term growth ambitions," said Thierry Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V. "This performance in the first quarter has set a solid stage for continued execution in an increasingly volatile environment while our proactive initiatives have helped to build resilience into our business."

"Our teams of empowered QIAGENers are focused on delivering on our promises for future growth. We continue to execute, quarter after quarter, from sales goals to project development. We continue to develop a well-balanced portfolio between Life Science and Molecular Diagnostics customers, across our different regions, and also between our five pillars of growth and our core business." Bernard said.

Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V., said: “Our results for the first quarter of 2022 show the power of QIAGEN with strong sales growth, improved profitability and operating cash flow over the same period in 2021. We are confident that investments into our portfolio are creating value and positioning QIAGEN toward new growth waves in the coming years. We continue to review opportunities for capital deployment, including bolt-on acquisitions, that are aligned with our strategy and set to create greater value for shareholders and our other stakeholders.”
