Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the following management’s discussion and analysis, contains forward-looking information that you should read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that we have included elsewhere in this report. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the plans, intentions or expectations we disclose in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors below under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. We report fiscal years under a 52/53 week format and as a result, certain fiscal years will contain 53 weeks. The fiscal year ending January 3, 2027 (“fiscal year 2026”) will include 53 weeks, and the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”) included 52 weeks.
We are a leading provider of health science solutions, technologies, expertise and services that deliver complete workflows from discovery to development, and diagnosis to cure. Revvity is revolutionizing what’s possible in healthcare, with specialized focus areas in translational multi-omics technologies, biomarker identification, imaging, prediction, screening, detection and diagnosis, informatics and more.
The principal products and services of our two reportable segments are:
-
Life Sciences. Provides products and services targeted towards life sciences customers.
-
Diagnostics. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications focused on clinically-oriented customers, especially within the areas of reproductive health and emerging market diagnostics.
Overview of the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026
Our overall revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $711.1 million which increased by $46.4 million, or 7%, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, reflecting an increase of $24.9 million, or 8%, in our Diagnostics segment revenue, and an increase of $21.4 million, or 6%, in our Life Sciences segment revenue. The increase in our Diagnostics segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was driven by both our Reproductive Health business and favorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in our Life Sciences segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was driven by both our Life Sciences Solutions and Software businesses and the extra fiscal week.
Our consolidated gross margins decreased 200 basis points from 56.5% to 54.5% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to product mix shift, changes in foreign exchange rates, increased tariffs and impact of the extra fiscal week. Our consolidated operating margins decreased from 10.9% to 10.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, primarily due to gross margin headwinds and impact of the extra fiscal week, partially offset by productivity and cost containment initiatives.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounting for business combinations, divestitures, long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, and employee compensation and benefits. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe our critical accounting policies include policies regarding business combinations, divestitures, valuation of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles and employee compensation and benefits.
For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to the Notes to our audited consolidated financial statements and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 (our “2025 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 5, 2026.
Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was $711.1 million, as compared to $664.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $46.4 million, or 7%, which includes a 3% increase in revenue attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates and a 1% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Life Sciences segment revenue was $361.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $340.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $21.4 million, or 6%, driven by an increase of $13.5 million in Life Sciences Solutions revenue and an increase of $7.9 million in Software revenue and the extra fiscal week. Diagnostics segment revenue was $349.3 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $324.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $24.9 million, or 8%, due to an increase of $20.6 million in Reproductive Health revenue and an increase of $4.3 million in Immunodiagnostics revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was $323.5 million, as compared to $289.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $34.2 million, or 12%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 45.5% for the three months ended April 5, 2026, from 43.5% for the three months ended March 30, 2025, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of 200 basis points to 54.5% for the three months ended April 5, 2026, from 56.5% for the three months ended March 30, 2025, primarily due to product mix shift, changes in foreign exchange rates, increased tariffs and impact of the extra fiscal week. Amortization of intangible assets was $35.0 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $34.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Tariffs enacted and currently in effect increased our cost of revenue by approximately $8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026. Through proactive mitigation efforts, the net impact on gross margin was approximately $6 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the imposition of tariffs. In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to finalize or revise certain import duty determinations excluding IEEPA duties. The court then suspended the order to the extent it required immediate action while CBP implemented an administrative refund process. While we intend to seek refunds, the timing and amount of recoveries remain uncertain and will depend on the scope and timing of court or administrative developments and completion of applicable administrative steps. Accordingly, no refund receivable has been recorded as of April 5, 2026.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 5, 2026 were $253.9 million, as compared to $249.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $4.2 million, or 2%. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased and were 35.7% for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to 37.6% for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $50.1 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $48.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Restructuring and other costs increased and was $10.7 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Restructuring and other costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 primarily consisted of charges associated with workforce reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations, other exit costs, abandonments or associated asset write-downs, costs of terminating certain lease agreements or contracts, as well as costs associated with relocating facilities. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, severance actions associated with facility consolidations and cost reduction measures affected approximately 2% of our workforce. Transformation costs were $0.8 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026. Purchase accounting adjustments decreased expenses by $0.1 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, which primarily consisted of a change in contingent consideration, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Costs for significant environmental matters decreased expenses by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. The above increases were also partially offset by a decrease in significant litigation matters and settlements, which was $0.1 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Disposition of businesses and assets, net decreased expenses by $5.1 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026. Acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, which primarily consisted of legal and integration costs, decreased and was $0.3 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Excluding the items noted above, selling, general and administrative expenses increased labor costs due to the extra fiscal week in the current quarter as compared to the same period in the prior year and employee incentive compensation.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended April 5, 2026 were $57.9 million, as compared to $53.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $4.3 million, or 8%. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were flat at 8.1% for both the three months ended April 5, 2026 and the three months ended March 30, 2025. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by our investments in new product development and increased labor costs due to the extra fiscal week.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net, consisted of the following:
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| April 5, 2026 | March 30, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In thousands) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Interest income | $ | (6,304) | $ | (10,081) | |||||||||||||||||||
| Interest expense | 24,718 | 22,964 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Change in fair value of investments | 4,204 | (3,073) | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Foreign exchange losses and other expense, net | 3,527 | 3,251 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Total interest and other expense, net | $ | 25,894 | $ | 19,848 |
The decrease in interest income for the three months ended April 5, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in marketable securities and short-term investments. Interest expense was higher for the three months ended April 5, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the extra fiscal week in the current quarter, which resulted in one additional week of accrued interest as compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $9.1 million for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 18.2% for the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to 20.5% for the three months ended March 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was lower primarily due to net favorable impacts of prior year true-ups recorded in fiscal year 2026 in foreign locations of $1.0 million as compared to fiscal year 2025. We expect that the effective tax rate on continuing operations, before discrete items, will be approximately 20% during fiscal year 2026.
Reporting Segment Results of Continuing Operations
Life Sciences
Revenue for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was $361.8 million, as compared to $340.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $21.4 million, or 6%, which includes a 2% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and divestitures and a 2% increase in revenue attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in our Life Sciences segment revenue during the three months ended April 5, 2026 was driven by an increase of $13.5 million in Life Sciences Solutions revenue and an increase of $7.9 million in Software revenue and the extra fiscal week.
Segment operating income for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was $104.0 million, as compared to $105.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 2%. Segment operating margin decreased 240 basis points in the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2025, primarily due to product mix shift, strategic investments in software and new product development and impact of the extra fiscal week.
Diagnostics
Revenue for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was $349.3 million, as compared to $324.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $24.9 million, or 8%, which includes a 4% increase in revenue attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in our Diagnostics segment revenue during the three months ended April 5, 2026 was driven by an increase of $20.6 million in Reproductive Health revenue and an increase of $4.3 million in Immunodiagnostics revenue.
Segment operating income for the three months ended April 5, 2026 was $76.1 million, as compared to $74.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, an increase of $2.1 million, or 3%. Segment operating margin decreased 100 basis points in the three months ended April 5, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2025, primarily due to product mix shift, changes in foreign exchange rates, increased tariffs and impact of the extra fiscal week.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require cash to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, make strategic acquisitions, service our debt and other long-term liabilities, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock. Our principal sources of funds are our internal operations, borrowing capacity available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and access to debt markets. We anticipate that our internal operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, interest payments on our debt and dividends on our common stock, for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months.
At April 5, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $860.3 million, of which $518.3 million was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and we had $1.5 billion of borrowing capacity available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We use a variety of cash redeployment and financing strategies to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed.
On October 23, 2025, our Board of Directors (our “Board”) authorized us to repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate amount up to $1.0 billion under a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 22, 2027 unless terminated earlier by our Board and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended April 5, 2026, we repurchased 784,142 shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program for an aggregate cost of $79.0 million. As of April 5, 2026, $800.5 million remained available for aggregate repurchases of shares under the Repurchase Program. Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we repurchased 93,303 shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program at an aggregate cost of $7.8 million. If we continue to repurchase shares, the Repurchase Program will be funded using our existing financial resources, including cash and cash equivalents, and our existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
As of April 5, 2026, we may have to pay contingent consideration related to acquisitions with open contingency periods of up to $81.6 million. As of April 5, 2026, we have recorded contingent consideration obligations of $25.0 million, of which $4.0 million was recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $21.0 million was recorded in long-term liabilities. The maximum earnout period for acquisitions with open contingency periods is 5.7 years from April 5, 2026, and the remaining weighted average expected earnout period at April 5, 2026 was 3.2 years.
Distressed global financial markets could adversely impact general economic conditions by reducing liquidity and credit availability, creating increased volatility in security prices, widening credit spreads, increasing the cost of borrowings and decreasing valuations of certain investments. The widening of credit spreads may create a less favorable environment for certain of our businesses and may affect the fair value of financial instruments that we issue or hold. Increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit at rates we consider to be reasonable, could affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, which may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. In difficult global financial markets, we may be forced to fund our operations at a higher cost, or we may be unable to raise as much funding as we need to support our business activities or fund our strategic transactions.
We and our subsidiaries may from time to time, in our sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt securities (including any publicly issued debt securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, or extend or refinance any of our outstanding indebtedness.
Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally generated funds include:
-
changes in sales due to weakness in markets in which we sell our products and services, and
-
changes in our working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:
-
financial covenants contained in the financial instruments controlling our borrowings that limit our total borrowing capacity,
-
increases in interest rates applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt,
-
a ratings downgrade that could limit the amount we can borrow under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our overall access to the corporate debt market,
-
increases in interest rates or credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability of credit, that affect our ability to borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis,
-
a decrease in the market price for our common stock, and
-
volatility in the public debt and equity markets.
