Charles River Laboratories
2Q Revenues: $339.6 million (flat)
2Q Earnings: $49.2 million (+37%)
YTD Revenues: $660.0 million (+3%)
YTD Earnings: $80.9 million (+19%)
Comments: Research Models and Services (RMS) revenues were $120.0 million in the quarter, down 10%, impacted by foreign exchange. Higher sales of research models were offset by lower revenue for the Genetically Engineered Models and Services (GEMS) business. Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA) revenues were $153.4 million, up 8%. This growth was offset in part by Argenta and BioFocus, which reported lower sales as a result of the early termination of a large contract for an integrated chemistry program. Manufacturing revenues were $66.2 million, up 1% driven by the Endotoxin and Microbial Detection (EMD) business, up 10% at constant-currency and the Avian Vaccine acquisition contributed 1.7% to the Manufacturing segment’s growth. The company plans to reopen its Shrewsbury, MA facility in early 2016.
