The Biopharma Laboratory Services (BLS) segment saw a 6.5% revenue increase, bolstered by strong organic growth in the Central Laboratory business. Operating margins expanded in both segments, with Dx rising 50 basis points to 18.0% and BLS rising 130 basis points to 17.0%, reflecting improved operating efficiencies. Liquidity remains robust, supported by $637 million in operating cash flow for the first half of 2026.

Capital allocation remains focused on growth, with $252.6 million in capital expenditures and a significant share repurchase program, recently expanded by $1 billion. Management continues to monitor regulatory risks, including the OBBBA legislation, and potential impacts from shifts in payer reimbursement and patient cost-sharing, though they currently anticipate no material disruption to operations. |
