    Bio-Techne Releases Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results
    6:31a ET May 6 '26 PR Newswire

    Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ending March 31, 2026.

    Third Quarter FY2026 Highlights

    -- Reported and organic revenue declined 2% to $311.4M, negatively impacted by prior?year GMP fast?track orders and timing of large Commercial Supply shipments

    -- GAAP EPS increased to $0.32 from $0.14; adjusted EPS was $0.53, down from $0.56

    -- Large pharma delivered the sixth consecutive quarter of double?digit growth, offset by a continued lag in spending by emerging biotech; U.S. academic markets stabilized with low?single?digit growth

    -- Growth vectors performed well, with mid?single?digit growth in Proteomic Analysis instruments, mid?teens growth in Spatial Biology, and nearly 50% growth in GMP proteins excluding fast?track customers

    "The Bio?Techne team delivered solid execution amid a mixed end?market environment," said Kim Kelderman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Techne. "Large pharma again led results with the sixth consecutive quarter of double?digit growth, supported by momentum in Asia and stabilizing U.S. academic demand. While biotech funding remains healthy, it has not yet translated into broad?based demand across our portfolio."

    Kelderman continued, "We are encouraged by early indicators pointing to a more constructive outlook as funding activity and customer purchasing begin to realign. Our portfolio is organized to support durable, high-value applications across the scientific journey, from biological discovery and translational insight to therapeutic development, manufacturing, and precision diagnostics. Together with our strong operating discipline and financial flexibility, Bio-Techne remains well positioned to deliver attractive long-term value for our stakeholders."

    Third Quarter Fiscal 2026

    Revenue

    Net sales for the third quarter decreased 2% to $311.4 million. Organic revenue decreased 2% compared to the prior year, with foreign currency exchange having a favorable impact of 2%, and non-recurring prior year revenue from a business held-for-sale having an unfavorable impact of 2%.

    GAAP Earnings Results

    GAAP EPS was $0.32 per diluted share versus $0.14 in the same quarter last year. GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 95% to $75.5 million compared to $38.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. GAAP operating margin was 24.2% compared to 12.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Current quarter GAAP operating margin was favorably impacted by ongoing profitability initiatives, the Exosome Diagnostics divestiture, and a non-recurring arbitration payment in the prior year, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.

    Non-GAAP Earnings Results

    Adjusted EPS decreased to $0.53 per diluted share compared to $0.56 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating income decreased to $106.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $110.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted operating margin was 34.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 34.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted operating margin was unfavorably impacted by volume and product mix, partially offset by ongoing profitability initiatives and the Exosome Diagnostics divestiture.

The Protein Sciences segment's operating margin decreased to 44.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 45.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The segment's operating margin decreased primarily due to unfavorable volume and product mix, partially offset by ongoing profitability initiatives.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

    This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements attached to this press release.

    Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic revenue and organic revenue growth represent revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months, the impact of foreign currency, the impact of businesses held-for-sale, as well as the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Excluding these measures provides more useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which can vary significantly from period to period, and revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period. Revenues from businesses held-for-sale are excluded from our organic revenue calculation starting on the date they become held-for-sale as that revenue will not be comparable in future periods. Revenues from partially-owned subsidiaries consolidated in our financial statements are also excluded from our organic revenue calculations, as those revenues are not fully attributable to the Company. There was no revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries in fiscal years 2026 or 2025.

    Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, exclude stock-based compensation, which is inclusive of the employer portion of payroll taxes on those stock awards, the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and restructuring and restructuring-related costs. Stock-based compensation is excluded from adjusted net earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, variety of award types, and unpredictability of amount and timing of employer related tax obligations. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, and other non-recurring items including gains or losses on goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and one-time assessments from this measure because they occur as a result of specific events, and are not reflective of our internal investments, the costs of developing, producing, supporting and selling our products, and the other ongoing costs to support our operating structure. Costs related to restructuring and restructuring-related activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs. Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity. The Company also excludes revenue and expense attributable to partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries as well as revenue and expense attributable to businesses held-for-sale in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

    The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also exclude acquisition related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including certain costs related to the transition to a new CEO, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and gains. We also exclude certain litigation charges which are facts and circumstances specific including costs to resolve litigation and legal settlement (gains and losses). In some cases, these costs may be a result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were not probable, inestimable, or unresolved at the time of acquisition.

    The Company's non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes gains and losses from investments, as they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions (excluding our equity method investment in Wilson Wolf as it is certain to be acquired in the future) and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Additionally, gains and losses from investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate to be applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments considering the impact of discrete items on these adjustments and the jurisdictional mix of the adjustments. In addition, the tax impact of other discrete and non-recurring charges which impact our reported GAAP tax rate are adjusted from net earnings. We believe these tax items can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results.
