Bio-Rad unveils ddPCR innovations
Bio-Rad Laboratories hosted a webinar on August 26, 2025, spotlighting its Droplet Digital PCR portfolio as the market innovator since 2010, backed by over 12,000 peer-reviewed publications. The presentation highlights droplet-based technology's superior precision for applications in oncology, biopharma, and biosurveillance, positioning ddPCR to capture growth in the $600M absolute quantitation segment amid evolving needs beyond qPCR and NGS limitations. Bio-Rad's 490,000+ validated assays fuel seamless tech shifts. Forward-looking plans target accelerating customer adoption, yet actual results hinge on market risks.

Q2 FY2025 results
Bio-Rad's Q2 sales edged up 2.1% y/y to $651.6M, with Life Science growing 4.9% on process chromatography strength while Clinical Diagnostics held flat amid China reimbursement cuts. Gross margins slipped to 53.0% from 55.6%, pressured by higher material costs and lower absorption, yet operating income fell less sharply to $77.1M from $101.5M. A $334.4M gain on Sartorius holdings flipped the prior year's $2.9B loss, driving net income to $317.8M and $11.67 diluted EPS from a $76.26 loss. Cash from operations hit $246.4M YTD, funding $216.7M for the Stilla acquisition—closed June 30 for $257.9M total (cash/contingent), adding $161.9M goodwill and $94.4M developed technology. Debt stands steady at $1.2B (3.3%/3.7% senior notes due 2027/2032), with $369.3M cash and $200M revolver availability. Free cash flow reached $166.3M YTD (derived). Restructuring costs mounted to $35.6M YTD. Sartorius volatility remains a key risk.

Bio-Rad Q2 revenue rises 2.1%
Bio-Rad Laboratories reported Q2 2025 revenue of $651.6 million, up 2.1% from $638.5 million last year, driven by 4.9% growth in Life Science from process chromatography and food safety, while Clinical Diagnostics held flat amid China reimbursement cuts. Non-GAAP operating income fell to $88.6 million from $106.9 million, but margins improved via expense controls. The company completed its Stilla Technologies acquisition, bolstering Droplet Digital PCR offerings. It now eyes 0-1% full-year currency-neutral revenue growth and 12-13% non-GAAP operating margins. Volatility in Sartorius investment swings GAAP results wildly.
