“Our second quarter results demonstrate our continuing commitment to commercial and operational execution,” said Brian J.Blaser, President and Chief Executive Officer, QuidelOrtho. “Our team delivered solid top and bottom-line results while also navigating a challenging global environment.

Based on our year-to-date results, we believe we are well positioned to deliver sustainable value over time for our shareholders, customers, and employees.”

Second Quarter 2025

The Company reported total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 of $614 million, compared to $637 million in the prior year period.

Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 20 basis points on the Company's second quarter 2025 revenue.

GAAP diluted loss per share for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.77, compared to diluted loss per share of $2.20 in the prior year period.

Full-year 2025 Financial Guidance

Based on its current business outlook, the Company is reiterating its fiscal 2025 financial guidance provided on February 12, 2025, as follows:

Total revenues (reported) $2.60 – $2.81 billion*Adjusted EBITDA $575 – $615 millionAdjusted EBITDA margin 22%Adjusted diluted EPS $2.07 – $2.57
* Foreign currency exchange is expected to be neutral for the full-year 2025 based on currency rates as of July 27, 2025. Please see page 7 of the Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results presentation on the “Investor Relations” page of the Company's website for the full list of assumptions on which the Company's current 2025 financial guidance is based.

A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures for such measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. We are not, without unreasonable effort, able to reliably predict the impact of impairment charges and related tax benefits, employee compensation costs and other adjustments. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results. In addition, the Company believes any such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. See “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are any statement contained herein that is not strictly historical, including, but not limited to, QuidelOrtho's commercial, integration and other strategic goals, financial guidance and related assumptions and other future financial condition and operating results, including expected results of operations or financial position, cost-savings and operational improvement initiatives, and other future plans, objectives, strategies, expectations and intentions. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “goal,” “project,” “strategy,” “future,” “continue,” “aim,” “strive,” “seek” or similar words, expressions or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of QuidelOrtho's management as of the date of this press release and are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or outcomes may differ significantly from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements: fluctuations in demand for QuidelOrtho's non-respiratory and respiratory products; supply chain, production, logistics, distribution and labor disruptions and challenges; the challenges and costs of integrating, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies as a result of the business combination of Quidel Corporation and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Holdings plc or other acquisitions; failure to exercise the option to acquire or complete the proposed acquisition of LEX Diagnostics on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including risks and uncertainties related to LEX Diagnostics' ability to secure FDA clearance and satisfy other customary closing conditions and provisions; inability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, discontinuances of certain business operations (such as the discontinuance of the Savanna platform) or cost-savings and operational improvement initiatives on the anticipated timelines, or at all; delays in the development of or failures or delays in the receipt of approvals for new or enhanced products; and other macroeconomic, geopolitical, market, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting the business of QuidelOrtho generally, including those arising from the effects of announced or future or amended tariffs, trade policies and global trade relations, as well as those discussed in QuidelOrtho's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because these statements are based on assumptions that may not come true and are speculative by their nature. All forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to QuidelOrtho and speak only as of the date of this press release. QuidelOrtho undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking information or time-sensitive information included in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed expectations or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures that are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including but not limited to “constant currency Labs revenue changes,” “constant currency non-respiratory revenue changes,” “constant currency non-respiratory revenue changes, excluding Donor Screening revenue,” “constant currency Immunohematology revenue changes,” “non-GAAP operating expenses,” “adjusted diluted EPS,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA margin,” and other non-GAAP financial measures included in the reconciliation tables accompanying this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures eliminate impacts of certain non-cash, unusual or other items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance, and the Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company's historical operating results and comparison to competitors' operating results. The Company's definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and reports filed with the Commission in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release.
