Net sales for Q2 2026 were unchanged at $535 million on a reported basis and at constant exchange rates (CER) compared to Q2 2025, exceeding the outlook for an approximately 2% CER decline. QIAGEN’s growth pillars together delivered 5% CER growth, led by Sample technologies delivering consumables sales growth at a high single-digit CER rate and instruments at a mid-single CER rate. QIAcuity and QIAGEN Digital Insights also delivered solid growth contributions. QuantiFERON sales rose 1% CER, reflecting the significant decline in U.S. immigration testing demand, while QIAstat-Dx sales faced a challenging prior-year comparison for respiratory testing. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.62 on both a reported and CER basis, above the outlook for at least $0.60 CER.

QIAGEN reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook for net sales growth of about 1-2% CER and adjusted diluted EPS of at least $2.43 CER.

"QIAGEN delivered results above our outlook for the second quarter of 2026 while maintaining a high level of profitability in a challenging operating environment," said Thierry Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN. "We achieved solid growth across key pillars, particularly Sample technologies, QIAcuity and QDI, while navigating continued pressure on instrument spending in the U.S. We are also building momentum behind important new product launches across our portfolio, in particular the rollout of new sample preparation systems and QIAcuity gene expression kits. This progress reinforces our confidence in stronger growth during the second half of 2026 and our focus on delivering solid profitable growth."

"Our adjusted operating income margin remained strong and improved from Q1 2026 while supporting targeted investments following the Parse acquisition and absorbing adverse currency headwinds," said Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN. "We increased the 2026 dividend by 40% compared with 2025 and continue to evaluate way to deploy capital to the highest-return opportunities. This performance reflects our continued focus on managing costs, prioritizing investments and generating an ongoing strong level of cash flow."

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 tax rate, net leverage 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.
