QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021.

Net sales for Q4 2021 rose 2% (+4% CER) to $582 million from Q4 2020, well ahead of the outlook for a 9% CER decline. Sales were driven by high demand for COVID-19 test products and confirmed good trends in the non-COVID portfolio. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.74 ($0.75 CER) compared to the Q4 2021 outlook for at least $0.60 CER. Full-year 2021 results also exceeded the outlook for net sales growth of at least 15% CER and for adjusted diluted EPS of at least $2.48 CER.

“Our very solid results in the fourth quarter capped a tremendous year for QIAGEN, especially the 22% CER growth in our non-COVID product portfolio that has consistently outperformed. We continue to support the global response to the pandemic while again showing QIAGEN is not COVID dependent and has a portfolio to drive future growth," said Thierry Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V.

"Going into 2022, we are optimistic about opportunities in the research environment amid healthy increases in national funding programs, as well as robust trends in regular clinical testing for molecular diagnostics. Our outlook for 2022 is based on expectations for double-digit CER growth in our non-COVID portfolio, as we continue to execute on our commitments while also taking into consideration the volatile pandemic trends. QIAGEN is well-positioned for strong mid-term growth as we sharpen our focus on targeted growth opportunities in the Life Sciences and Molecular Diagnostics," Bernard said.

Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V., said: “We are very pleased to finish 2021 with strong levels of sales, profitability and cash flow while making investments to strengthen our portfolio. We are moving ahead with manufacturing upscaling projects and investments in R&D for menu expansion of our key platforms, especially our five pillars of growth. These investments are designed to enable QIAGEN to transition the rapid growth in our installed base of instruments and systems into new applications while supporting the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are confident in QIAGEN's growth prospects and our ability to create long-term value."
