Venlo, the Netherlands, July 29, 2021 - QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced full results for the second quarter and first half of 2021 that were in line with the preliminary announcement on July 12.

Net sales rose 28% (+24% at constant exchange rates, CER) to $567.3 million in Q2 2021 and above the outlook for about 20% CER growth. Currency movements against the U.S. dollar had a positive impact of about four percentage points on sales at actual rates in Q2 2021 over the year-ago period. For the first half of 2021, net sales rose 39% (+35% CER) to $1.135 billion. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.52 in the second quarter of 2021, while adjusted EPS were $0.67 ($0.66 CER) against the outlook for about $0.62-0.64 CER, and were up 22% from $0.55 in the second quarter of 2020. For the first half of 2021, diluted EPS were $1.08 while adjusted EPS were $1.33 ($1.31 CER), up 49% from $0.89 in the first half of 2020.

"In line with the preliminary announcement in mid-July, our results in the second quarter of 2021 were driven by outstanding performance in our non-COVID product groups, and show solid trends for our core business. We are seeing very positive growth in these product groups, which are the highest priority of our teams as we seek to expand on the opportunities within QIAGEN's five pillars of growth. We anticipate ongoing strong demand in these product groups in the second half of 2021, as we aim for at least 20% CER growth for the full year and for these product groups to represent the majority of our sales," said Thierry Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V.

"We welcome the success of vaccination campaigns and their contributions to moving the world beyond the pandemic. At the same time, the faster-than-expected uptake has led to a reduction in demand for COVID-19 testing. This prompted us earlier in July to update our view on COVID-19 testing trends for the second half of 2021, and update the outlook for sales and adjusted EPS growth. As we prepare QIAGEN for sustained growth beyond the pandemic, and reaffirm the mid-term targets set for our five pillars of growth, we are confident in developing a stronger and more differentiated leadership position in the Life Sciences and diagnostics markets," Bernard said.

Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V., said: "QIAGEN continued to deliver a strong level of sales growth and profitability throughout the first half of 2021, and also very strong cash flow improvements over the year-ago period. As part of our commitment to value creation, we recently started the new $100 million share repurchase program with a goal for completion in mid-September 2021. This reflects our confidence in QIAGEN's growth prospects and is a reaffirmation of our commitment to increasing returns for shareholders."

Tables may have rounding differences. Percentage changes are to prior-year periods.

· Sales: As reported in the preliminary announcement, stronger-than-expected growth trends were seen for non-COVID product groups, rising 52% CER to $407.6 million in Q2 2021 and representing 72% of total sales. For the first half of 2021, non-COVID product group sales grew 37% (+33% CER) to $771.6 million and represented 68% of total sales. COVID-19 product group sales declined 17% CER in Q2 2021 compared to the year-ago period, to $159.7 million. Lower COVID-19 product group sales levels were seen across all regions and product categories, as the rapid uptake of COVID-19 vaccination campaigns led to reduced demand for testing. Positive currency movements against the U.S. dollar supported sales growth by four percentage points in the second quarter and first half of 2021 over the year-ago periods.

· Operating income: Q2 2021 operating income rose 36% to $161.3 million (28.4% of sales), while adjusted operating income rose 23% to $196.4 million (34.6% of sales) from $159.9 million (36.1% of sales) a year earlier. The adjusted operating income margin for the first half of 2021 was 34.5% of sales compared to 31.9% in the same period of 2020. For Q2 2021, the adjusted gross profit margin was 68.7%, down 1.2 percentage points from the same period of 2020, due mainly to an adverse change in product mix. Significant investments were made during the first half of 2021 into the five pillars of growth, in particular for R&D projects, while sales and marketing expenses were lower as a percentage of sales on prudent spending and greatly reduced marketing and travel expenses. General & Administrative expenses rose slightly as a percentage of sales in Q2 2021 mainly for IT investments.

· EPS: Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS both rose at rates of at least 20% CER for Q2 and the first half of 2021 over the year-ago periods. The tax rate and adjusted tax rate for Q2 2021 were both 19% compared to a Q2 2020 reported tax rate of 17% and 18% adjusted tax rate.

· Sample technologies: Sales of non-COVID kits in Q2 2021 represented about two-thirds of this product group and rose about 30% CER, but sales of kits used for COVID-19 testing (especially manual sample preparation) declined at a significant double-digit CER rate over the year-ago period.

· Diagnostic solutions: QuantiFERON latent tuberculosis (TB) sales surged 109% CER to $72 million in Q2 2021 on growth rates above 110% CER in both the Americas and Europe / Middle East / Africa regions and about 30% CER in the Asia-Pacific / Japan region. Sales of the QIAstat-Dx syndromic testing solution rose over the Q2 2020 level while absorbing headwinds from reduced COVID-19 testing demand. NeuMoDx sales rose on an underlying basis despite the decline in COVID-19 demand, and results for Q2 and the first half of 2021 included contributions from the full acquisition in September 2020. Companion diagnostic co-development revenue growth of 31% CER, along with robust double-digit CER gains in sales of precision medicine consumables, supported 33% CER growth in Q2 2021 in other areas of this product group.

· PCR / Nucleic acid amplification: QIAcuity digital PCR sales grew at a higher level than Q1 2021 amid increasing customer interest following the late 2020 launch. OEM products and enzymes grew compared to Q2 2020 while absorbing lower sales of COVID-19 products. Instrument sales declined, in particular for the Rotor Gene Q PCR cycler, against very high pandemic demand in Q2 2020.

· Genomics / NGS: Dynamic results in Q2 2021 driven by sales growth above 150% CER for universal consumables used in next-generation sequencing (NGS) amid an upturn in demand among customers involved in research and clinical applications, and supported by increasing sales of kits for COVID-19 variant analysis and sales of patents and technology licenses. QIAGEN Digital Insights delivered high-single-digit CER growth, in particular double-digit CER gains in clinical applications.

Rest of world represented less than 1% of sales.

· Americas: Strongest regional performance in Q2 2021 driven by over 50% CER growth in the United States and QuantiFERON-TB. Brazil and Mexico sales fell at double-digit CER rates vs. Q2 2020.

· EMEA: Double-digit CER gains in Q2 2021 in the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland and Turkey, along with low-single-digit CER growth in Germany against a double-digit CER decline in France.

· Asia-Pacific / Japan: China leads region with 17% CER growth on improving trends for non-COVID product groups, while Japan sales fell at a mid-single-digit CER rate over Q2 2020. Higher sales were also seen in Australia and South Korea, more than absorbing a double-digit CER decline in India.

Key cash flow data

			H1
In $ millions			2021	2020	Change
Net cash provided by operating activities			285.0	150.6	89%
Net cash used in investing activities			(78.7)	(66.9)	18%
Net cash used in financing activities			(43.5)	(16.4)	165%
Free cash flow			195.0	100.4	94%

· Net cash provided by operating activities grew due to strong business expansion and was supported by continued improved trends for Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). Cash payments for restructuring activities in the first half of 2021 were $7.7 million compared to $46.0 million in the year-ago period, which included payments related to the changes in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) instrument development and other efficiency initiatives announced in late 2019.

· Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2021 included $90.0 million of purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment, primarily to expand production capacity for key growth pillar products at sites in Europe and the U.S., as well as $136.7 million of purchases of short-term investments. These investments were partially offset by $117.9 million of cash received from the sale of QIAGEN's shares in Invitae Corporation after the acquisition of Archer Dx, in which QIAGEN held a minority interest.

· Net cash used in financing activities included debt repayments in Q1 2021 totaling $41.3 million primarily for the repayment of two tranches of German private corporate bonds (Schuldschein) that had reached maturity.

Full-year and Q3 2021 outlook

As previously announced on July 12, 2021, QIAGEN updated its outlook for full-year 2021 for net sales to grow at least 12% CER and for adjusted diluted EPS of at least $2.42 CER. Based on rates as of June 30, 2021, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are still expected to create a positive impact of about 2-3 percentage points on net sales growth at actual rates for full-year 2021. A positive impact of about $0.02-0.03 per share is still expected on adjusted EPS.

For the third quarter of 2021, net sales at CER are expected to be at the same level of sales in Q3 2020 of about $483.8 million. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be about $0.52-0.53 CER compared to $0.58 in the year-ago quarter. Based on rates as of June 30, 2021, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to create a positive impact of about 1-2 percentage points on net sales growth at actual rates for Q3 2021. A positive impact of up to $0.01 per share is expected on adjusted diluted EPS.

$100 million share repurchase program initiated

On July 20, 2021, QIAGEN initiated a new $100 million share repurchase program for up to $100 million of shares through September 17, 2021. This represents approximately 2.1 million common shares based on QIAGEN's share price on the date this program was started. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury in order to satisfy obligations for employee share-based remuneration plans. QIAGEN will provide regular updates on this program in the Investor Relations section at www.qiagen.com.

Investor presentation

A presentation with additional information can be downloaded at https://corporate‌.qiagen.com‌/investor-relations/‌events‌-and-presentations/default.aspx. In light of the preliminary results announcement on July 12, 2021, and conference call on July 13, 2021, no additional conference call will be held following this release.

Use of adjusted results

QIAGEN reports adjusted results, as well as results on a constant exchange rate (CER) basis, and other non-U.S. GAAP figures (generally accepted accounting principles), to provide additional insight into its performance. These results include adjusted net sales, adjusted gross income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income before taxes, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, adjusted income taxes, adjusted tax rate, and free cash flow. Free cash flow is calculated by deducting capital expenditures for Property, Plant & Equipment from cash flow from operating activities. Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that QIAGEN believes should be considered in addition to reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP but should not be considered as a substitute. QIAGEN believes certain items should be excluded from adjusted results when they are outside of ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the comparability of results with competitors and its own prior periods. Furthermore, QIAGEN uses non-GAAP and constant currency financial measures internally in planning, forecasting and reporting, as well as to measure and compensate employees. QIAGEN also uses adjusted results when comparing current performance to historical operating results, which have consistently been presented on an adjusted basis.

(a) Results for 2021 include continued integration-related activities for the NeuMoDx acquisition completed in September 2020. Results for 2020 include expenses associated with the public takeover offer for QIAGEN. A restructuring program was initiated in late 2019, and charges are expected to be incurred through mid-2021.

(b) Results for 2021 include the amortization of NeuMoDx intangible assets acquired in September 2020.

(c) Amounts include mark-to-market adjustments and gains or losses recognized upon the sale or impairment of investments. Results for 2021 include the Q1 2021 gain on the sale of shares held in Invitae Corporation received from Invitae's acquisition of ArcherDx, in which QIAGEN held a minority interest, and settlement of the related hedge.

(d) Cash Convertible Notes were recorded at an original issue discount that is recognized as incremental non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the notes. The decrease in non-cash interest expense in H1 2021 reflects the repayment of notes that were due in March 2021.

(e) Adjustment for the net impact of changes in fair value of the Call Options and the Embedded Cash Conversion Options related to the Cash Convertible Notes.

(f) Certain income tax items were excluded from adjusted results since these represent updates in QIAGEN's assessment of ongoing examinations or other tax items that are not indicative of the Company's normal or future income tax expense. QIAGEN does not believe the impact of these events reflects the performance of ongoing operations for the periods in which the impact of such events were recorded.

Tables may contain rounding differences.
