Repligen (RGEN)RepligenEarnings

First quarter revenue of $194 million, a year-over-year increase of 15% as reported and 11% organic

GAAP EPS increased 50% year-over-year and adjusted EPS increased 23% year-over-year

Reiterating FY26 organic revenue growth guidance of 9%-13% and increasing adjusted EPS to $1.97-$2.05

WALTHAM, Mass., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN), a life sciences company focused on bioprocessing technology leadership, today reported financial results for its first quarter of 2026, covering the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. The Company is also providing updated financial guidance for the full year 2026.

Olivier Loeillot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Repligen said, “We delivered a very strong start to the year, achieving 11% organic revenue growth and 160 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion, exceeding expectations as our team executed well across the business. Combined with recent order trends, these results reinforce our confidence in our full-year revenue outlook.”

“We also continue to make meaningful progress on our strategic priorities. We launched a Transformation Office initiative and divested a non-core filtration business as we accelerate our focus on profitable growth. In addition, we entered into a new partnership in China, which represents an important step in advancing our APAC strategy. We remain committed to disciplined, intentional investment—expanding our commercial capabilities and optimizing our infrastructure to support scalable, sustainable growth in the years ahead.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

China Partnership. In April, we signed a partnership agreement in China, which outlines an OEM relationship that will increase our competitiveness and access to local manufacturing.

Launched Transformation Office. We recently launched a Transformation Office, focused on accelerating our fit-for-growth journey and our commitment to margin expansion. This includes efforts around site rationalization, product line margin optimization, and accelerating IT and AI investments, among other areas.

Divested Polymem. As part of our transformation efforts, we divested Polymem on March 30 th . The business generated $7 million of revenue and an operating loss in 2025. FY26 guidance now reflects this divestiture.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the following Adjusted (“non-GAAP”) measures of financial performance are included in this release: organic revenue and organic revenue growth; adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin; adjusted income from operations and adjusted operating margin; organic adjusted operating margin year-over-year change; adjusted net income and adjusted net income margin; adjusted earnings per share (diluted); adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company provides the impact of foreign currency translation, to enable determination of revenue and margin growth rates at constant currency. To calculate the impact of foreign currency translation, the Company converts the reported amounts from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior year periods.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial results and/or non-GAAP guidance exclude the impact of: acquisition, integration and divestiture costs; restructuring charges including the costs of severance and accelerated depreciation among other non-cash charges; inventory step-up costs and adjustments; transformation costs including incremental, non-recurring expenses for discrete strategic projects that are designed to deliver long-term benefits, including improvements to enhance productivity and enable company growth that do not meet the definition of restructuring; contingent consideration related to the Company’s acquisitions; intangible amortization costs; non-cash interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount; amortization of debt issuance costs related to Company’s convertible debt; foreign currency impact of certain intercompany loans; loss on sale of business; and, the related impact on tax of non-GAAP charges.

These costs are excluded because management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded. Additionally, for a project to be considered transformational, the project expenses are expected to bring long-term growth, profitability improvements and defined process and technology improvements. Our transformation initiative is multi-year but each project has a discrete, defined timeline. Further, organic adjusted operating margin year-over-year change excludes the effect of adjustments above, as well as the impact of mergers and acquisitions and foreign exchange. This measure is used by the Company in periods of acquisition because the timing, size and number of such transactions and their related impact on the financial statements may vary and make comparison of long-term results difficult.

All reconciliations of above GAAP figures to adjusted (non-GAAP) figures are detailed in the tables included later in this press release. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. When analyzing the Company’s operating performance and guidance, investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for the comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as the Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort. The Company cannot reasonably predict items including, but not limited to, the timing and amount of future restructuring and cost-savings actions or transformation, acquisition and integration related costs. These items are generally uncertain and are not indicative of ongoing operations of the business, and the impact could be material to our results in accordance with GAAP.
