QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced strong results of operations for the first quarter of 2021, exceeding the goals for net sales and adjusted earnings per share.

Net sales in the first quarter of 2021 rose 52% (+48% at constant exchange rates, CER) to $567.2 million from the first quarter of 2020, and faster than the outlook of at least 45% CER growth. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.66 ($0.65 CER) against the outlook of about $0.60-0.62 CER, and rose 94% from $0.34 in the first quarter of 2020.

“Our results for the first quarter of 2021 once again show QIAGEN continuing to execute and beat the outlook set for sales and earnings growth,” said Thierry Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V. “This performance was particularly driven by 16% CER growth in sales of non-COVID product groups that represented 64% of our sales. We are pleased with trends showing that research laboratories around the world are increasingly returning to work and clinical labs are moving beyond COVID testing. This progress underlines the point that QIAGEN’s business is COVID relevant, but not COVID dependent.

“Our teams continue to show great dedication in meeting the ongoing demand for QIAGEN solutions to support the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes launching new solutions for both COVID-19 testing, and many of which have non-COVID applications.

“We have made multiple product expansions to our non-COVID related portfolio, including the launch of a Lyme Disease test based on QuantiFERON technology with our partner DiaSorin, bringing the QIAcube Connect sample processing instrument to clinical customers and releasing the QIAsphere solution to offer cloud-based platform connectivity for QIAstat-Dx and QIAcube Connect as a start, and for use in the future on other instruments and automation systems in the future. As we look forward to delivering on our commitments for 2021, we are well on track to positioning QIAGEN for sustainable growth and creating greater value beyond the pandemic.”
