Charles River Laboratories Announces First-Quarter 2020 Results
– First-Quarter Revenue of $707.1 Million –
– First-Quarter GAAP Earnings per Share of $1.02 and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share of $1.84 –
– Revises 2020 Guidance Due to COVID-19 Impact –
WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2020--Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today reported its results for the first quarter of 2020. For the quarter, revenue was $707.1 million, an increase of 17.0% from $604.6 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Acquisitions contributed 9.5% to consolidated first-quarter revenue growth. The impact of foreign currency translation reduced reported revenue growth by 0.7%. Excluding the effect of these items, organic revenue growth was 8.2%, driven by the Discovery and Safety Assessment and Manufacturing Support segments. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced both the reported and organic revenue growth rates by 150 basis points, principally in the Research Models and Services segment.
On a GAAP basis, first-quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $50.8 million, a decrease of 7.9% from net income of $55.1 million for the same period in 2019. First-quarter diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis were $1.02, a decrease of 8.1% from $1.11 for the first quarter of 2019. The GAAP net income and earnings per share declines were primarily related to a loss from the Company’s venture capital investments of $0.18 per share in the first quarter of 2020, compared to a $0.16 gain for the same period in 2019. The Company’s venture capital investment performance has been excluded from non-GAAP results.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $91.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 32.3% from $69.4 million for the same period in 2019. First‑quarter diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $1.84, an increase of 31.4% from $1.40 per share for the first quarter of 2019. The non-GAAP net income and earnings per share increases were driven primarily by higher revenue, including the contributions from the Citoxlab and HemaCare acquisitions, and operating margin improvement, as well as a lower tax rate.
James C. Foster, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “As a result of robust client order activity, a strong biotech funding environment, and the dedication of our employees, Charles River had an exceptional start to the year. As the global COVID-19 pandemic intensified during the first quarter, we moved swiftly to mitigate the anticipated impact, which will be most pronounced in the research models business. We implemented measures that are focused on maintaining the health and safety of our employees and the continuity of our operations; sustaining our solid financial position; and ensuring our ability to support our clients’ critical programs. As a result of these measures, all of our operating sites have remained open and adequately staffed to accommodate significant client demand across most of our businesses.”
Mr. Foster continued, “We believe the long-term growth prospects for the Company remain firmly intact. The healthcare industry will play a crucial role in finding a solution to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will enhance the focus on scientific innovation for years to come. We believe our unique position in healthcare, specifically our non-clinical focus, global scale, and scientific expertise, is critical in helping our clients develop treatments for COVID-19 and other diseases across multiple therapeutic areas. We have partnered with more than 40 clients to-date on their development programs for potential vaccine candidates and other treatments associated with COVID-19. Our value is being reinforced during these challenging times, as clients are choosing to outsource more work to us to take advantage of our broad portfolio and flexible, efficient solutions, which enable them to continue the research required to move all of their early-stage programs forward. We believe our ability to provide support to clients globally during this time further distinguishes us as the early-stage CRO partner of choice, which we are proud to be.”
“I am deeply grateful for the hard work and unwavering commitment of our employees who make our contributions to this important research possible. Their dedication allows us to continue to fulfill our mission every day,” Mr. Foster concluded.
First-Quarter Segment Results
Research Models and Services (RMS)
Revenue for the RMS segment was $146.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 6.4% from $137.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. The HemaCare acquisition, which was completed on January 3, 2020, contributed 9.0% to first-quarter RMS revenue growth. Organic revenue declined by 1.7%, principally due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced the RMS revenue growth rate by 660 basis points in the first quarter. COVID-19 had a meaningful impact on worldwide demand for research models due to closures and reduced on-site activities at the research sites of academic institutions and biopharmaceutical clients, including in China as anticipated, as well as in North America and Europe at the end of the quarter. This was partially offset by higher revenue for research model services, particularly the Insourcing Solutions (IS) and the Genetically Engineered Models and Services (GEMS) businesses.
In the first quarter of 2020, the RMS segment’s GAAP operating margin decreased to 18.7% from 27.6% in the first quarter of 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin decreased to 23.0% from 28.1% in the first quarter of 2019. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin decreases were primarily the result of the lower sales volume in the research models business due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The GAAP operating margin also declined due to acquisition-related amortization associated with the HemaCare acquisition.
Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA)
Revenue for the DSA segment was $438.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 23.9% from $354.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. The Citoxlab acquisition contributed 12.8% to DSA revenue growth. Organic revenue growth of 11.6% was driven by both the Safety Assessment and Discovery Services businesses.
In the first quarter of 2020, the DSA segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 16.5% from 13.2% in the first quarter of 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 22.0% from 18.6% in the first quarter of 2019. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by operating leverage from higher revenue in both the Safety Assessment and Discovery Services businesses.
Manufacturing Support (Manufacturing)
Revenue for the Manufacturing segment was $122.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 8.1% from $113.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. Organic revenue growth was 9.6%, driven primarily by robust demand in the Biologics Testing Solutions (Biologics) and Avian Vaccine businesses. First-quarter revenue growth for the Microbial Solutions business was affected by last year’s large stocking order from a strategic partner, which was not expected to recur in 2020.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Manufacturing segment’s GAAP operating margin increased to 33.6% from 27.8% in the first quarter of 2019. On a non-GAAP basis, the operating margin increased to 35.6% from 31.0% in the first quarter of 2019. The GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin increases were driven primarily by enhanced operating efficiency in the Microbial Solutions business and operating leverage from higher revenue in the Biologics and Avian Vaccine businesses, as well as lower costs related to Biologics capacity expansions.
2020 Guidance
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and its expected impact on the Company’s operations, client demand, and its financial results, Charles River is revising its financial guidance for 2020, which was initially provided on February 11, 2020. The impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to reduce 2020 revenue by approximately $135 to $215 million. COVID-19 will have a significant impact on the RMS revenue growth rate in 2020, particularly in the second quarter, and is also expected to modestly reduce the DSA and Manufacturing revenue growth rates.
The Company’s revised guidance for revenue growth, earnings per share, and free cash flow is as follows:
2020 GUIDANCE | CURRENT |
| PRIOR | |
Revenue growth, reported | 4.5% – 8.0% |
| 13.0% – 14.5% | |
Less: Contribution from acquisitions (1) | ~(4.0%) |
| (4.0%) – (4.5%) | |
Unfavorable/(favorable) impact of foreign exchange | 0.5% – 1.0% |
| (1.0%) – (1.5%) | |
Revenue growth, organic (2) | 1.5% – 4.5% |
| 7.75% – 8.75% | |
GAAP EPS estimate | $4.25 – $4.60 |
| $5.20 – $5.35 | |
Acquisition-related amortization (3) | $1.75 – $1.80 |
| $1.65 – $1.70 | |
Charges related to global efficiency initiatives (4) | ~$0.05 |
| <$0.05 | |
Acquisition-related adjustments (5) | ~$0.20 |
| ~$0.25 | |
Other items (6) | $0.25 – $0.32 |
| $0.25 – $0.32 | |
Venture capital investment losses/(gains) (7) | $0.18 |
| -- | |
Non-GAAP EPS estimate | $6.75 – $7.10 |
| $7.45 – $7.60 | |
Free cash flow (8) | $325 – $350 million |
| $350 – $360 million | |
Footnotes to Guidance Table:
(1) The contribution from acquisitions reflects only those acquisitions that have been completed.
(2) Organic revenue growth is defined as reported revenue growth adjusted for acquisitions and foreign currency translation.
(3) Acquisition-related amortization includes an estimate of $0.25-$0.30 for the impact of the HemaCare acquisition as the purchase price allocation has not been finalized.
(4) These charges, which primarily include severance and other costs, relate primarily to the Company’s planned efficiency initiatives. Other projects in support of global productivity and efficiency initiatives are expected, but these charges reflect only the decisions that have already been finalized.
(5) These adjustments are related to the evaluation and integration of acquisitions, and primarily include transaction, advisory, and certain third-party integration costs, as well as certain costs associated with acquisition-related efficiency initiatives.
(6) These items primarily relate to charges of $0.15-$0.22 associated with the planned termination of the Company’s U.S. pension plan in the second half of 2020, as well as charges of approximately $0.10 associated with U.S. and international tax legislation that necessitated changes to the Company’s international financing structure.
(7) Venture capital investment performance only includes recognized gains or losses. The Company does not forecast the future performance of its venture capital investments.
(8) The reconciliation of the current 2020 free cash flow guidance is as follows: Cash flow from operating activities of $445-$470 million, less capital expenditures of approximately $120 million, equates to free cash flow of $325-$350 million.

Estimates of COVID-19 Impact
The Company has provided in this press release its estimates for the impact from COVID-19, including on the Company's revenue. These estimates were determined using methodologies and assumptions that vary depending on the specific reporting segment and situation. For the Research Models and Services segment, estimates are primarily based on comparisons to daily historical research model sales volumes prior to COVID-19 and the subsequent reduction in research model order activity associated with our clients’ COVID-19-related site closures and/or their reduced on-site activity, as well as our discussions with clients, particularly of our research model services businesses, with regard to revenue expectations and operational impacts from COVID-19. For the Discovery and Safety Assessment segment, estimates are based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, discussions with clients with regard to the cause of delays to discovery projects and safety assessment studies, location-specific actions to ensure employee safety in our facilities, the impact of remote versus in-person activities and services, and supply chain delays and other resource constraints. For the Manufacturing Support segment, estimates are based on discussions with clients with regard to their revenue expectations and operations. Further, we assume for the purposes of formulating these estimates that (1) restrictions on economic activity, including stay-in-place orders and other similar government actions, are largely relaxed in the third quarter and these restrictions are not re-imposed for the remainder of the fiscal year and (2) the global economy gradually improves through the remainder of 2020. Because these estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties, actual events and results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions, and Charles River assumes no obligation and expressly disclaims any duty to update them.
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, which exclude the amortization of intangible assets, and other charges related to our acquisitions; expenses associated with evaluating and integrating acquisitions and divestitures, 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 write-off of deferred financing costs and fees related to debt financing; third-party costs associated with the remediation of unauthorized access into our information systems detected in March 2019; the non-cash tax benefit related to our international financing structure; charges related to the planned settlement of our U.S. pension plan; charges recorded in connection with the modification of our option to purchase equity in one of our joint ventures; and investment gains or losses associated with our venture capital investments. This press release also refers to our revenue in both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis: “constant currency,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for the impact of foreign currency translation, and “organic revenue growth,” which we define as reported revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. Commencing in the first quarter of 2019, we exclude the performance of our venture capital investments due to the determination that such investment gains or losses are not core to our overall 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, 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.
Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “would,” “may,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project,” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements also include statements regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; the projected future financial performance of Charles River and our specific businesses; the future demand for drug discovery and development products and services, including our expectations for future revenue trends; our expectations with respect to the impact of acquisitions, including the acquisition of HemaCare, on the Company, our service offerings, client perception, strategic relationships, revenue, revenue growth rates, and earnings; the development and performance of our services and products, including our investments in our portfolio; market and industry conditions including the outsourcing of services and spending trends by our clients; the potential outcome of and impact to our business and financial operations due to litigation and legal proceedings; and Charles River’s future performance as delineated in our revised forward-looking guidance, and particularly our expectations with respect to revenue, the impact of foreign exchange, enhanced efficiency initiatives, and the assumptions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic that form the basis for our revised annual guidance. Forward-looking statements are based on Charles River’s current expectations and beliefs, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking statements.
