QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE:QGEN, Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA)) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025.
Net sales for Q4 2025 rose 4% to $540 million, with sales at constant exchange rates (CER) up 1% and exceeding the outlook for steady CER results compared to the year-ago period while overcoming macroeconomic challenges and the impact of the 2025 U.S. government shutdown. Solid ongoing trends among the growth pillars, which rose 7% CER, led the performance. Net sales results included headwinds of approximately $10 million from discontinued products (NeuMoDx and Dialunox) and the first-time contributions from the Parse acquisition that was completed in December 2025. Adjusted diluted EPS CER of $0.62 CER was above the outlook for about $0.60 CER.
For full-year 2025, QIAGEN achieved its increased sales outlook for 5% CER growth, which was at the high end of the outlook for about +4-5% CER growth. Net sales included headwinds of about $20 million from discontinued products (NeuMoDx and Dialunox) as well as contributions from the Parse acquisition. Adjusted diluted EPS was $2.38, with adjusted diluted EPS of $2.40 CER ahead of the outlook for about $2.38 CER and $0.12 ahead of the initial outlook for 2025. Diluted EPS was $1.94.
For 2026, QIAGEN expects net sales growth of at least 5% CER from 2025 driven by the growth pillars contributing about 9% CER growth and combined sales of about $1.64 billion CER. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be at least $2.50 CER compared with $2.38 in 2025.
"QIAGEN finished 2025 with disciplined execution, exceeding our outlook for sales and adjusted EPS in Q4 2025," said Thierry Bernard, CEO of QIAGEN. "Our performance underscores the strength of our portfolio and positions us well to demonstrate our commitment to delivering solid profitable growth in a challenging environment. Our growth pillars delivered 8% growth to reach $1.49 billion CER in combined sales in 2025 and keeping us on track toward our 2028 targets. We continue to drive efficiency and digitization across the organization to fund growth investments and expand profitability."
"We also made good progress in capital allocation," said Roland Sackers, CFO of QIAGEN. "We returned more than $1.1 billion to shareholders to date ahead of schedule and closed two bolt-on acquisitions with Genoox strengthening our QDI business and Parse expanding our Sample technologies portfolio with our entry into single-cell analysis. At the same time, we maintain significant flexibility to continue investing in growth and shareholder returns."

Use of adjusted results
QIAGEN reports adjusted results and constant exchange rate (CER) measures, along with other non-GAAP financial metrics, to provide deeper insight into business performance. These include adjusted gross margin and profit, adjusted operating income and expenses, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net income, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted tax rate and free cash flow. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Adjusted results are non-GAAP measures that QIAGEN views as complementary to GAAP-reported results. They exclude items considered outside of ongoing core operations, subject to significant period-to-period fluctuation, or that reduce comparability with competitors and historical performance. QIAGEN also uses these non-GAAP and constant currency measures internally for planning, forecasting, reporting and employee compensation purposes. These metrics enable consistent comparison of current and past performance, which QIAGEN has historically presented on an adjusted basis.
