Special Note on Factors Affecting Future Results

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. that are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industries in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “goal,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “will,” “likely,” “may,” “designed,” “would,” “future,” “can,” “could,” and other similar expressions which are predictions of, indicate future events and trends or which do not relate to historical matters, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

For example, we may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the COVID-19 pandemic, its duration, its impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, use of our borrowings, business practices, operations, suppliers, inventory and supplies, third party service providers, customers, employees, industry, ability to meet future performance obligations, ability to timely account for assets on our balance sheet, ability to efficiently implement advisable safety precautions, and internal controls over financial reporting; the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on demand, the global economy and financial markets, changes and uncertainties in the global economy; client demand, particularly future demand for drug discovery and development products and services, including the outsourcing of these services; our expectations regarding stock repurchases, including the number of shares to be repurchased, expected timing and duration, the amount of capital that may be expended and the treatment of repurchased shares; our ability to successfully execute our business strategy; our ability to timely build infrastructure to satisfy capacity needs and support business growth, our ability to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, the impact of unauthorized access into our information systems, including the timing and effectiveness of any enhanced security and monitoring; present spending trends and other cost reduction activities by our clients; future actions by our management; the outcome of contingencies; changes in our business strategy, business practices and methods of generating revenue; the development and performance of our services and products; market and industry conditions, including competitive and pricing trends; our strategic relationships with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, venture capital investments, and opportunities for future similar arrangements; our cost structure; the impact of acquisitions and divestitures; our expectations with respect to revenue growth and operating synergies (including the impact of specific actions intended to cause related improvements); the impact of implementing newly issued accounting pronouncements; the impact of specific actions intended to improve overall operating efficiencies and profitability (and our ability to accommodate future demand with our infrastructure), including gains and losses attributable to businesses we plan to close, consolidate, divest or repurpose; changes in our expectations regarding future stock option, restricted stock, performance share units, and other equity grants to employees and directors; expectations with respect to foreign currency exchange; assessing (or changing our assessment of) our tax positions for financial statement purposes; and our liquidity. In addition, these statements include the impact of economic and market conditions on us and our clients, the effects of our cost saving actions and the steps to optimize returns to shareholders on an effective and timely basis; and our ability to withstand the current market conditions.

Forward-looking statements are predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document, or in the case of statements incorporated by reference, on the date of the document incorporated by reference.

Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2021, under the sections entitled “Our Strategy,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors,” in our press releases, and other financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or risks. New information, future events, or risks may cause the forward-looking events we discuss in this report not to occur.

CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (the Company) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that the Company make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments, and methodologies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” ASU 2022-03 sets disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU also clarifies that contractual sale restrictions should not be considered when measuring fair value of equity securities. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but does not believe there will be a material impact.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance.” ASU 2021-10 requires disclosures about transactions with a government that have been accounted for by a grant or contribution accounting model to increase transparency about the types of transactions, the accounting for the transactions, and the effect on the financial statements. The ASU is an annual disclosure effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and will be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but does not believe there will be a material impact.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021.

Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect its financial statements and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. For consolidated entities in which the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of income equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s fiscal year is typically based on 52-weeks, with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on the last Saturday on, or closest to, March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. A 53rd week in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year is occasionally necessary to align with a December 31 calendar year-end, which will occur in this fiscal year 2022.

(1) The goodwill resulting from these transactions is primarily attributable to the potential growth of the Company’s segments from new customers introduced to the acquired businesses and the assembled workforce of the acquirees. The goodwill attributable to these entities is not deductible for tax purposes.
(2) In connection with its acquisitions of businesses, the Company routinely records liabilities related to indirect state and local taxes for preacquisition periods when such liabilities are estimable and deemed probable. The Company may or may not be indemnified for such indirect tax liabilities under terms of the acquisitions. As these indirect tax contingencies are resolved, actual obligations, and any indemnifications, may differ from the recorded amounts and any differences are reflected in reported results in the period in which these are resolved. As of March 26, 2022, the Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that these recorded liabilities of $17 million may decrease over the next twelve month period as the Company seeks a favorable ruling from tax authorities on certain indirect tax positions.
(3) Purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available concerning the fair value and tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain contracts and obligations. Any additional adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the date of acquisition.

RMS Japan Divestiture

On October 12, 2021, the Company sold its RMS Japan operations to The Jackson Laboratory for a preliminary purchase price of ~~$73.1~~$70.6 million, which included $7.9 million in cash, $3.8 million pension over funding, and certain post-closing adjustments.

The RMS Japan business was reported in the Company’s RMS reportable segment. The Company determined that the RMS Japan business was not optimized within the Company’s portfolio at its current scale, and that the capital could be better deployed in other long-term growth opportunities.

CDMO Sweden Divestiture

On October 12, 2021, the Company sold its gene therapy CDMO site in Sweden to a private investor group for a preliminary purchase price of $59.6 million, net of $0.2 million in cash and other post-closing adjustments that may impact the purchase price. Included in the purchase price are contingent payments fair valued at $15.3 million, which were estimated using a probability weighted model (the maximum contingent contractual payments are up to $25.0 million based on future performance), as well as a purchase obligation of approximately $10.0 million between the parties.

terms of a contract. Revenue generated from research models services is recognized over time and is typically based on a right-to-invoice measure of progress (output method) as invoiced amounts correspond directly to the value of the Company’s performance to date.

~~CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

DSA

The DSA business provides a full suite of integrated drug discovery services directed at the identification, screening and selection of a lead compound for drug development and offers a full range of safety assessment services including bioanalysis, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, toxicology and pathology.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables (client receivables), contract assets (unbilled revenue), and contract liabilities (current and long-term deferred revenue and customer contract deposits) on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s payment terms are generally 30 days in the United States and consistent with prevailing practice in international markets. A contract asset is recorded when a right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to a customer is conditioned other than the passage of time. Client receivables are recorded separately from contract assets since only the passage of time is required before consideration is due. A contract liability is recorded when consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

When the Company does not have the unconditional right to advanced billings, both advanced client payments and unpaid

~~CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)~~

advanced client billings are excluded from deferred revenue, with the advanced billings also being excluded from client receivables. The Company excluded approximately ~~$44~~$49 million and $36 million of unpaid advanced client billings from both client receivables and deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. Advanced client payments of approximately ~~$64~~$77 million and $60 million have been presented as customer contract deposits within other current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively.

Other changes in the contract asset and the contract liability balances during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 were as follows:

(i) Changes due to acquisitions and divestitures:

See Note 2.2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for the Company’s recent acquisitions.

(ii) Cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue that affect the corresponding contract asset or contract liability, including adjustments arising from a change in the measure of progress, a change in an estimate of the transaction price (including any changes in the assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained), or a contract modification:

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, immaterial cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue were recorded.

(iii) A change in the time frame for a right to consideration to become unconditional (that is, for a contract asset to be recorded as a client receivable):

Approximately ~~60%~~75% of unbilled revenue as of December 25, 2021, which was $161 million, was billed during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022. Approximately ~~60%~~80% of unbilled revenue as of December 26, 2020, which was $135 million, was billed during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021.

(iv) A change in the time frame for a performance obligation to be satisfied (that is, for the recognition of revenue arising from a contract liability):

Approximately ~~65%~~75% of contract liabilities as of December 25, 2021, which was $240 million, were recognized as revenue during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022. Approximately ~~60%~~75% of contract liabilities as of December 26, 2020, which was $227 million, were recognized as revenue during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021.

Other Performance Obligations

As part of the Company’s service offerings, primarily in the Manufacturing ~~segment,~~and RMS segments, the Company has identified performance obligations related to leasing Company owned assets. In certain arrangements, customers obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the identified assets, which may include manufacturing suites and related equipment, and have the right to direct the assets’ use over the term of the contract. The associated revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is generally less than one year. For the three months ended ~~March~~June 25, 2022 and June 26, ~~2022,~~2021, the Company recognized lease revenue of ~~$7.9~~$13.9 million and $6.3 million, which is recorded within service revenue, which is transferred over time, within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021, the Company recognized lease revenue of $21.8 million and $6.3 million within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Due to the nature of these arrangements and timing of the contractual lease term, the remaining revenue to be recognized related to these lease performance obligations is not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration obligations through valuation models, such as probability-weighted and option pricing models, that incorporate probability adjusted assumptions and simulations related to the achievement of the milestones and the likelihood of making related payments. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements include the probabilities of successful achievement of certain financial targets, forecasted results or targets, volatility, and discount rates. The remaining maximum potential payments are approximately ~~$73~~$53 million, of which the value accrued as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 is approximately ~~$30~~$10 million. The weighted average probability of achieving the maximum target is approximately ~~42%~~18%. The average volatility and weighted average cost of capital are approximately ~~47%~~40% and 16%, respectively. Increases or decreases in these assumptions may result in a higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

Debt Instruments

The book value of the Company’s term and revolving loans, which are variable rate loans carried at amortized cost, approximates the fair value based on current market pricing of similar debt. As the fair value is based on significant other observable inputs, including current interest and foreign currency exchange rates, it is deemed to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The book value of the Company’s Senior Notes are fixed rate obligations carried at amortized cost. Fair value is based on quoted market prices as well as borrowing rates available to the Company. As the fair value is based on significant other observable outputs, it is deemed to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The book value and fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes is summarized below:


		March 26, 2022				December 25, 2021					June 25, 2022				December 25, 2021

Nonredeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company has an investment in an entity whose financial results are consolidated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as it has the ability to exercise control over this entity. The interest of the noncontrolling party in this entity has been recorded as noncontrolling interest within Equity in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity within the nonredeemable noncontrolling interest was not significant during the three and six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

The Company has a 92% equity interest in Vital River with an 8% redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to sell, the remaining 8% equity interest at a contractually defined redemption value, subject to a redemption floor, which represents a derivative embedded within the equity instrument. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value ($24.3 million as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022) and the carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. As the noncontrolling interest holders have the ability to require the Company to purchase the remaining 8% interest, the noncontrolling interest is classified in the mezzanine section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities. The amount that the Company could be required to pay to purchase the remaining 8% equity interest is not limited.

~~The~~Prior to June 2022, the Company ~~has~~had an 80% equity interest in a subsidiary with a 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest. In ~~August~~June 2022, the Company ~~will have~~purchased an additional 10% interest in the subsidiary for $15.0 million. Beginning in 2024, the Company has the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to sell (Put/call option), the remaining ~~20%~~10% equity interest at its appraised value ($~~31.5~~15.9 million as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022). The redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the appraised value and the carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest or a predetermined floor value. As the noncontrolling interest holders have the ability to require the Company to purchase the remaining ~~20%~~10% interest, the noncontrolling interest is classified in the mezzanine section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which is presented above the equity section and below liabilities. The amount that the Company could be required to pay to purchase the remaining ~~20%~~10% equity interest is not limited.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 were ~~14.1%~~23.2% and ~~3.6%~~29.5%, respectively. The ~~increase~~Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 25, 2022 and June 26, 2021 were 19.2% and 20.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax ~~rate~~rates from the prior year period was primarily attributable to the deferred tax impact of tax law changes enacted during the three months ended June 26, 2021, partially offset by a decreased tax benefit from stock-based compensation deductions in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022.

For the three months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits increased by ~~$1.6~~$0.3 million to ~~$34.2~~$34.5 million, primarily due to increases in research & development tax credit reserves. For the three months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate increased by ~~$1.1~~$0.1 million to $31.1 million for the same reasons discussed above. The accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits was ~~$1.7~~$0.9 million as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately ~~$11.3~~$11.4 million over the next twelve-month period, primarily due to audit settlements and expiring statutes of limitations.

The Company conducts business in a number of tax jurisdictions. As a result, it is subject to tax audits on a regular basis including, but not limited to, such major jurisdictions as the U.S., the U.K., China, France, Germany, and Canada. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. and international income tax examinations for years before 2018.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have ongoing tax controversies in the U.S., Canada, France, the Netherlands, and India. The Company does not anticipate resolution of these audits will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of the country of Ukraine resulting in conflict in the region and a variety of sanctions against the Russian Federation enacted by several governments, including the U.S, United Kingdom, Canada and European Union. The conflict has had and continues to have, direct and indirect adverse effects on financial markets and global supply chain disruptions. We do not have any direct operations in either Russia or Ukraine and there were no material impacts to our financial statements for the three and six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 as a result of the situation. We will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves for potential impacts to our operating and financial results such as increased inflationary, supply chain, or cybersecurity risks in subsequent periods. Refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors disclosed herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 for our assessment of risk factors surrounding inflationary, supply chain and cybersecurity risks.

Fiscal Quarters

Our fiscal year is typically based on 52-weeks, with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on the last Saturday on, or closest to, March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. A 53rd week in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year is occasionally necessary to align with a December 31 calendar year-end, which will occur in this fiscal year 2022.

Overview of Results of Operations and Liquidity

Revenue for the three months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 increased ~~$89.3~~$58.5 million, or ~~10.8%~~6.4%, to ~~$913.9~~$973.1 million compared to ~~$824.6~~$914.6 million in the corresponding period in 2021. Revenue for the six months ended June 25, 2022 increased $147.9 million, or 8.5%, to $1,887.1 million compared to $1,739.2 million in the corresponding period in 2021. The increase in revenue in both periods was primarily due to ~~increases in~~increased demand within our DSA ~~segment, as well as the recent acquisitions, principally within our Manufacturing segment;~~and RMS segments; partially offset by the ~~divestiture~~divestitures of RMS Japan and CDMO Sweden and the negative effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates when compared to the corresponding three and six month ~~period~~periods in 2021.

In the three months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, our operating income and operating income margin were ~~$148.8~~$187.4 million and ~~16.3%~~19.3%, respectively, compared with ~~$123.7~~$137.6 million and 15.0%, respectively, in the corresponding period of 2021. In the six months ended June 25, 2022, our operating income and operating income margin were $336.2 million and 17.8%, respectively, compared with $261.3 million and 15.0%, respectively, in the corresponding period of 2021. The increases in operating income and operating income margin for the three and six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 was primarily due to the contribution of higher revenue described above, lower acquisition related costs, changes in contingent consideration, and a favorable ruling from tax authorities on certain indirect tax positions.

Net income attributable to common shareholders increased to $109.3 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022, from $88.4 million in the corresponding period of 2021. The increase in Net income attributable to common shareholders was primarily due to the increase in operating income described above, partially offset by losses on our investments compared to gains in the corresponding period in 2021.

Net income attributable to common shareholders increased to ~~$93.0~~$202.3 million in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, from ~~$61.5~~$150.0 million in the corresponding period of 2021. The increase in Net income attributable to common shareholders was primarily due to the increase in operating income described above and by the absence of debt extinguishment costs associated with the repayment of the 2026 Senior Notes and related write-off of deferred financing costs incurred in 2021; partially offset by higher losses on our investments in the corresponding period in 2021.

During the ~~first three~~six months ofended June 25, 2022, our cash flows from operations was ~~$102.6~~$252.1 million compared with ~~$170.2~~$356.8 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was driven by timing and amounts of our working capital balances, principally ~~variable compensation payments and~~ collections of net contract balances from customers (collectively trade receivables and contract assets, net; deferred revenue; and customer contract deposits);, inventory purchases, and variable compensation payments; partially offset by favorable timing of our vendor and supplier payments compared to the same period in 2021.

Unallocated corporate costs consist of selling, general and administrative expenses that are not directly related or allocated to the reportable segments. The decrease in unallocated corporate costs of $22.9 million, or 34.5%, compared to the corresponding period in 2021 is primarily related to decreased costs associated with the evaluation and integration of our recent acquisition activity and lower variable compensation.

CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Interest Income

Interest income, which represents earnings on cash, cash equivalents, and time deposits was $0.2 million for both the three months ended June 25, 2022 and the corresponding period in 2021.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for thethree months ended June 25, 2022 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $12.5 million, or 77.1%, compared to $16.2 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease was due primarily to a higher foreign currency gain recognized in connection with a debt-related foreign exchange forward contract in the three months ended June 25, 2022, partially offset by higher interest rates on our variable debt as compared to the corresponding period in 2021.

Other (Expense) Income, Net

Other expense, net, was $39.8 million for the three months ended June 25, 2022, a decrease of $45.8 million compared to Other income, net of $6.0 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease in the three months ended June 25, 2022 was due primarily to venture capital and life insurance investment losses compared to gains incurred for the corresponding period in 2021, and higher foreign currency losses recognized in connection with a U.S. dollar denominated loan borrowed by a non-U.S. entity with a different functional currency as compared to the corresponding period in 2021.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 25, 2022 was $33.4 million, a decrease of $4.2 million compared to $37.6 million for the corresponding period in 2021. Our effective tax rate was 23.2% for the three months ended June 25, 2022, compared to 29.5% for the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease in our effective tax rate in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period was primarily attributable to the deferred tax impact of tax law changes enacted during the three months ended June 26, 2021, partially offset by a decreased tax benefit from stock-based compensation deductions.

Operating income % of revenue	24.1		%	24.7		%			(60) bps

RMS revenue increased $9.4 million due primarily to higher research model product revenue in North America and China, however China was negatively impacted by COVID-related restrictions that affected client order activity, higher research model services revenue, specifically Insourcing Solutions, which included the acquisition of Explora BioLabs contributing $12.7 million, and our GEMS business; partially offset by the divestiture of RMS Japan, which decreased revenue by $24.4 million and the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

RMS operating income decreased $0.1 million compared to the corresponding period in 2021. RMS operating income as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 25, 2022 was 24.1%, a decrease of 60 bpsfrom 24.7% for the corresponding period in 2021. Operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased ~~principally~~primarily due to the divestiture of RMS Japan and the COVID-related revenue impact in China.

DSA revenue increased $94.9 million due primarily to service revenue which increased in both the Safety Assessment and Discovery Services businesses due principally to increased demand and pricing of services; and the acquisition of Retrogenix which contributed $3.3 million to Discovery Services revenue; partially offset by the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

DSA operating income increased $38.3 million during the six months ended June 25, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021. DSA operating income as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 25, 2022 was 20.6%, an increase of 180 bps from 18.8% for the corresponding period in 2021. Operating income and operating income as a percentage of revenue increased primarily due to the contribution of higher ~~amortization of intangible assets and~~revenue described above as well as lower acquisition related costs and adjustments to contingent consideration arrangements related to certain acquisitions; partially offset by higher staffing costs and modest inflationary pressures compared to the same period in 2021.

Operating income % of revenue	28.1		%	30.8		%			(270) bps

Manufacturing revenue increased $43.6 million due primarily to our Biologics Solutions business, which includes the CDMO business acquisitions of Cognate and Vigene, which collectively contributed $43.8 million prior to the one year anniversaries of the acquisitions, and higher service revenue within our Biologics Testing Solutions business, as well as increased revenue in our Microbial Solutions business; partially offset by the divestiture of the CDMO Sweden business, which decreased revenue by $4.8 million, and the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Manufacturing operating income increased $2.7 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021, ~~and~~which was primarily due to a favorable adjustment related to a contingent consideration arrangement and a favorable ruling from tax authorities on certain indirect tax positions recorded within selling, general and administrative expense; partially offset by higher amortization of intangible assets costs. Manufacturing operating income as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 25, 2022 was 28.1%, a decrease of 270 bps from 30.8% for the corresponding period in 2021, primarily due to higher operating costs associated with our CDMO acquisitions.

Unallocated corporate costs consist of selling, general and administrative expenses that are not directly related or allocated to the reportable segments. The decrease in unallocated corporate costs of ~~$11.1~~$34.0 million, or ~~(18.1)%~~26.6%, compared to the corresponding period in 2021 is primarily related to decreased costs associated with the evaluation and integration of our ~~recent~~ acquisition ~~activity.~~activity and lower variable compensation costs. Costs as a percentage of revenue for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 was ~~5.5%~~5.0%, a decrease of ~~(200)~~230 bps from ~~7.5%~~7.3% for the corresponding period in 2021.

Interest Income

Interest income, which represents earnings on cash, cash equivalents, and time deposits was ~~approximately $0.1~~$0.3 million and $0.2 million for ~~both~~ the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 and the corresponding period in ~~2021.~~2021, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 was ~~$9.4~~$13.1 million, a decrease of ~~$20.3~~$32.8 million, or ~~68.3%~~71.4%, compared to ~~$29.7~~$45.9 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The decrease was due primarily to the absence of $26 million of debt extinguishment costs associated with the repayment of the 2026 Senior Notes and related write-off of deferred financing costs incurred in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, ~~partially offset by a lower~~higher foreign currency ~~gain~~gains recognized in connection with a debt-related foreign exchange forward contract, ~~and~~partially offset by higher interest rates on our variable debt in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 compared to the corresponding period in 2021.

~~CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.~~

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, was ~~$28.6~~$68.4 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, an increase of ~~$0.9~~$46.6 million compared to ~~$27.7~~$21.8 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase was due primarily to increased net losses on our venture capital investments, strategic equity investments, and life insurance investments for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 as compared to ~~gains incurred during~~ the corresponding period in ~~2021; partially offset by lower~~2021 and higher foreign currency losses recognized in connection with a U.S. dollar denominated loan borrowed by a non-U.S. entity with a different functional currency in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period in 2021 and lower venture capital investment losses in the three months ended March 26,~~June 25, 2022 as compared to the corresponding period in 2021.

CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 was ~~$15.6~~$49.1 million, an increase of ~~$13.2~~$9.2 million compared to ~~$2.4~~$39.9 million for the corresponding period in 2021. Our effective tax rate was ~~14.1%~~19.2% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 compared to ~~3.6%~~20.6% for the corresponding period in 2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in our effective tax rate in the 2022 period compared to the 2021 period was primarily attributable to the deferred tax impact of tax law changes enacted during the six months ended June 26, 2021, partially offset by a decreased tax benefit from stock-based compensation deductions in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently require cash to fund our working capital needs, capital expansion, acquisitions, and to pay our debt, lease, venture capital investment, and pension obligations. Our principal sources of liquidity have been our cash flows from operations, supplemented by long-term borrowings. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our existing funds, when combined with cash generated from operations and our access to financing resources, are sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

The following table presents our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments:

The interest rates applicable to the Credit Facility are equal to (A) for revolving loans denominated in U.S. dollars, at our option, either the base rate (which is the higher of (1) the prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (3) the one-month adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1%) or the adjusted LIBOR rate, (B) for revolving loans denominated in euros, the adjusted EURIBOR rate and (C) for revolving loans denominated in sterling, the daily simple SONIA rate, in each case, plus an interest rate margin based upon our leverage ratio.

Our off-balance sheet commitments related to our outstanding letters of credit as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 were $17.7 million.

Repurchases of Common Stock

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, we did not repurchase any shares under our authorized stock repurchase program. As of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, we had $129.1 million remaining on the authorized $1.3 billion stock repurchase program and we do not intend to repurchase shares for the remainder of 2022. Our stock-based compensation plans permit the netting of common stock upon vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share units in order to satisfy individual statutory tax withholding requirements. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, we acquired 0.1 million shares for ~~$34.0~~$38.5 million through such netting.

Net cash provided by cash flows from operating activities represents the cash receipts and disbursements related to all of our activities other than investing and financing activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting our net income for (1) non-cash operating items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and other financing costs, deferred income taxes, gains and/or losses on venture capital and strategic equity investments, gains and/or losses on divestitures, contingent consideration, as well as (2) changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in our results of operations. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was driven by timing and amount of our working capital balances, principally ~~variable compensation payments and~~ collections of net contract balances from customers (collectively trade receivables and contract assets, net; deferred revenue; and customer contract deposits);, inventory purchases, and variable compensation payments; partially offset by favorable timing of our vendor and supplier payments compared to the same period in 2021.

Additionally we paid $21 million of debt extinguishment costs associated with the 2026 Senior Notes repayment and $8$17 million of debt financing costs associated with the 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes issuances.

Off-Balance Sheet and Other Arrangements

There have been no material changes from the off-balance sheet and other arrangements previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021 other than the changes described in Note 2, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” Note 7, “Fair Value,” Note 9, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements,”, and Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Venture Capital Investments

We invest in several venture capital funds that invest in start-up companies, primarily in the life sciences industry. Our total commitment to the funds as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 was ~~$173.9~~$192.7 million, of which we funded ~~$116.6~~$119.7 million through ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on our historical experience, trends in the industry, and various other factors

CHARLES RIVER LABORATORIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that the application of our accounting policies, each of which require significant judgments and estimates on the part of management, are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other than as discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” we did not adopt any other new accounting pronouncements during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 that had a significant effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates, which could affect our future results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financing activities.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates while conducting normal business operations as a result of ongoing financing activities. As of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, our debt portfolio was comprised primarily of floating interest rate borrowings. A 100-basis point increase in interest rates would increase our annual pre-tax interest expense by ~~$11.7~~$14.9 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We operate on a global basis and have exposure to some foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

While the financial results of our global activities are reported in U.S. dollars, our foreign subsidiaries typically conduct their operations in their respective local currency. The principal functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound and Canadian Dollar. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, the most significant drivers of foreign currency translation adjustment the Company recorded as part of Other comprehensive income (loss) were the Euro, ~~Canadian Dollar,~~ British Pound, Hungarian Forint, and ~~Hungarian Forint.~~Chinese Yuan.

Fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the countries in which we do business will affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As the U.S. dollar strengthens against other currencies, the value of our non-U.S. revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows will generally decline when reported in U.S. dollars. The impact to net income as a result of a U.S. dollar strengthening will be partially mitigated by the value of non-U.S. expenses, which will decline when reported in U.S. dollars. As the U.S. dollar weakens versus other currencies, the value of the non-U.S. revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows will generally increase when reported in U.S. dollars. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, our revenue would have decreased by ~~$28.7~~$58.5 million and our operating income would have decreased by ~~$0.3~~$1.0 million, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate had strengthened by 10%, with all other variables held constant.

We attempt to minimize this exposure by using certain financial instruments in accordance with our overall risk management and our hedge policy. We do not enter into speculative derivative agreements.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to limit our foreign currency exposure related to both intercompany loans and a U.S. dollar denominated loan borrowed by a non-U.S. Euro functional currency entity under our Credit Facility. Refer to Note 9, “Debt and Other Financing Arrangements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these types of forward contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, promulgated by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, are effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in designing and evaluating the controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

The Company continued to execute a plan to centralize certain accounting transaction processing functions to internal shared service centers during the three months ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022. There were no other material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 26,~~June 25, 2022 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Please refer to Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies” in our notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021, except as disclosed below.

Our business, results of operations, or financial condition could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the ongoing conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of the country of Ukraine, resulting in negative impacts to the global economy. Furthermore, governments in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and European Union have each imposed export controls on certain products and financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. Although we have no operations in Russia or Ukraine, we have ceased doing business with our Russian customers and distributors. Additional risks to our business that may emerge as a result of the armed conflict include, among others, shortages in materials; increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw materials; increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade; cyberattacks; supply disruptions; lower consumer demand; and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain.
