WESTBROOK, Maine, May 1, 2025—IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDXX), a global leader in pet healthcare innovation, today announced first quarter results.
“IDEXX drove solid execution in the first quarter while advancing
key enablers of our innovation-driven growth strategy. At the end of March, IDEXX launched a first-of-its-kind innovation, IDEXX
Cancer Dx™, in our North American reference laboratories,” said Jay Mazelsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Customers
have been asking for a way to diagnose cancer earlier because cancer is a leading cause of mortality in dogs and earlier detection provides
better treatment options. This diagnostic panel for early detection of canine lymphoma brings exceptional levels of performance, turnaround
time, and it is priced to allow veterinarian partners to include it in commonly used screening and sick patient testing panels.”

First Quarter Performance Highlights
Companion Animal Group
The Companion Animal Group generated revenue growth of 3% as reported
and 4% organic for the quarter. Solid growth was supported by CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 3% as reported and 4.5% organic.
CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth was supported by 5% reported and 8.5% organic gains in International regions. U.S. CAG Diagnostics
recurring revenue growth of 3% as reported and organic continued to outpace sector growth levels in the first quarter.
Additional U.S. companion animal practice
key metrics are available in the Q1 2025 Earnings Snapshot accessible on the IDEXX website, www.idexx.com/investors.
Sustained high levels of customer retention, net price gains, and benefits
from net new customers, and an increase in diagnostic utilization supported expansion of CAG Diagnostics recurring revenues.
▪
IDEXX VetLab® consumables generated 9% reported and 10% organic revenue growth supported by strong installed base growth
across premium instrument platforms.
▪
Reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services generated flat reported and 1% organic revenue growth, including benefits
from net price gains and modest volume gains in U.S. and International regions after adjusting for year-over-year equivalent days growth
impact.
▪
Rapid assay products revenues declined 3% as reported and declined 2% organic, with volumes impacted from the recent launch of the Catalyst® Pancreatic Lipase Test, which shifted some testing across modalities, offsetting net price benefits.

Veterinary software, services and diagnostic imaging systems revenues
grew 9% as reported and 7% organic, reflecting 10% as reported and 9% organic recurring revenue growth led by continued momentum in cloud-based
software placements.
Water
Water revenues grew 5% as reported and 7% organic for the quarter,
reflecting solid organic growth across regions.
Livestock, Poultry and Dairy (“LPD”)
LPD revenues increased 1% as reported and 4% organic for the quarter,
led by revenue gains in U.S. and Latin America.
Gross Profit and Operating Profit
Gross profits increased 5% as reported and 6% on a comparable basis.
Gross margin of 62.4% increased 90 basis points as reported and 80 basis points on a comparable basis, supported by benefits from strong
growth in IDEXX VetLab consumables revenue, improved instrument placement mix, and overall business mix.
Operating margin was 31.7% for the quarter, higher than the prior year
by 70 basis points as reported but lower by 10 basis points on a comparable basis, net of ~90 basis points benefit from the adjustment
to the discrete litigation expense accrual. Operating margin results reflect 4% operating expense growth as reported and 8% on a comparable
basis, net of 3% favorable impact from the adjustment to the discrete litigation expense accrual. Comparable operating expense growth
was driven by higher R&D spend related to advancing the Company's growth and innovation agenda and higher sales and marketing expense
aligned with commercial activities in support of new product launches and sector development.
2025 Growth and Financial
Performance Outlook
The Company is updating its full year revenue growth guidance range
to $4,095 million - $4,210 million, or reported growth of 5% - 8%, an increase of $40 million at midpoint. This reflects a positive adjustment
of ~1% at midpoint to full year estimates for reported revenue growth, reflecting recent weakening of the U.S. dollar aligned with the
foreign currency exchange rate assumptions set forth in this release. The Company is maintaining a consistent outlook for organic revenue
growth projected at 6% - 9%.

The Company updated its full year reported operating margin outlook
of 31.1% - 31.6%, including ~180 basis points of impact from the discrete litigation expense accrual adjustment and updated estimates
for tariffs. Projected full year comparable operating profit margin expansion is maintained at 30 - 80 basis points. While uncertainty
remains on trade policies, estimates include tariffs on internationally sourced materials, based on current U.S. pronouncements, and estimates
for China's retaliatory tariffs.
The Company updated its EPS outlook range to $11.93 - $12.43, incorporating
a $0.19 increase, reflecting $0.11 in favorable adjustments to foreign exchange estimates and $0.08 benefit from the discrete litigation
expense accrual adjustment. The updated EPS growth outlook is 12% - 17% as reported, including a ~1% growth benefit from the discrete
litigation expense accrual adjustment, while maintaining consistent 8% - 12% growth on a comparable basis.

The Company specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following defines terms and conventions and provides reconciliations
regarding certain measures used in this earnings release and/or the accompanying earnings conference call that are not required by, or
presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), otherwise referred
to as non-GAAP financial measures. To supplement the Company’s consolidated results presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company
has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures
provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of the Company’s business performance and liquidity
and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business and its liquidity and to the performance
and liquidity of our peers. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s
business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the
same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Constant currency - Constant currency references are non-GAAP
financial measures which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are consistent with how management evaluates
our performance and comparisons with prior and future periods. We estimated the net impacts of currency on our revenue, gross profit,
operating profit, and EPS results by restating results to the average exchange rates or exchange rate assumptions for the comparative
period, which includes adjusting for the estimated impacts of foreign currency hedging transactions and certain impacts on our effective
tax rates. These estimated currency changes impacted first quarter 2025 results as follows: decreased gross profit growth by 1.2%, increased
gross margin growth by 10 basis points, decreased operating expense growth by 1.0%, decreased operating profit growth by 1.4%, increased
operating profit margin growth by an immaterial amount , and decreased EPS growth by 1.4%. Constant currency revenue growth represents
the percentage change in revenue during the applicable period, as compared to the prior year period, excluding the impact of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. See the supplementary analysis of results below for revenue percentage change from currency for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and refer to the 2025 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release for estimated
foreign currency exchange rate impacts on 2025 projections and estimates.
Growth and organic revenue growth - All references to growth
and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent prior year period unless specifically noted. Organic revenue growth is a
non-GAAP financial measure that represents the percent change in revenue, as compared to the same period for the prior year, net of the
impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain business acquisitions, and divestitures. Management believes that reporting
organic revenue growth provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior
and future periods and to the performance of our peers. Organic revenue growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement
of or a superior measure to, revenue growth reported in accordance with GAAP. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation
of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Please refer to the constant currency
note above for a summary of foreign currency exchange rate impacts. Please refer to the 2025 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook
section of this earnings release for estimated full year 2025 organic revenue growth for the Company and CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue
growth. The percentage change in revenue resulting from acquisitions represents revenues during the current year period, limited to the
initial 12 months from the date of the acquisition, that are directly attributable to business acquisitions. Revenue from acquisitions
is expected to benefit projected full year 2025 revenue growth by an immaterial amount and have no impact on CAG Diagnostics recurring
revenue growth.

Comparable growth metrics - Comparable gross profit growth,
comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating
margin gain (or growth) are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and non-recurring
or unusual items (if any). Please refer to the constant currency note above for a summary of foreign currency exchange rate impacts. Management
believes that reporting comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth,
comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain (or growth) provides useful information to investors because it
enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance
and provides greater transparency to investors regarding key metrics used by management. Comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross
margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain
(or growth) should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, gross profit growth, gross margin
gain, operating expense growth, operating profit growth and operating margin gain reported in accordance with GAAP.

Projected 2025 comparable operating margin expansion outlined in the
2025 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release reflects adjustments to projected 2025 operating margin
expansion for: (i) an immaterial impact from year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate changes at noted exchange rates; and (ii) positive
impact of the approximately $9 million discrete litigate expense accrual adjustment in the first quarter of 2025; and (iii) adjustment
to full year 2024 reported operating margin expansion for the negative impact of the $61.5 million discrete litigation expense accrual
adjustment in the second quarter of 2024.
These impacts described above reconcile reported gross profit growth,
gross margin gain, operating expense growth, operating profit growth and operating margin gain (including projected 2025 operating margin
expansion) to comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain, comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating
profit growth and comparable operating margin gain for the Company.
Comparable EPS growth - Comparable EPS growth is a non-GAAP
financial measure that represents the percentage change in earnings per share (diluted) ("EPS") for a measurement period, as
compared to the prior base period, net of the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior base period and excluding
the tax benefits of share-based compensation activity under ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements
to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, and non-recurring or unusual items (if any). Management believes comparable EPS growth
is a more useful way to measure the Company’s business performance than EPS growth because it enables better period-over-period
comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency
to investors regarding a key metric used by management. Comparable EPS growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement
of or a superior measure to, EPS growth reported in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the constant currency note above for a summary
of foreign currency exchange rate impacts.

Projected 2025 comparable EPS growth outlined in the 2025 Growth and
Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release reflects adjustments to projected full year 2025 reported EPS for: (i) estimated
positive share-based compensation activity of ~$0.10; and (ii) estimated negative year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate change
impact of ~$0.10 at noted exchange rates; (iii) impact of the discrete litigation expense accrual adjustment of $0.08 in the first
quarter of 2025; (iv) adjustment to full year 2024 reported EPS for a negative $0.56 impact from the discrete litigation expense
accrual adjustment in the second quarter of 2024; and (v) positive impact of share-based compensation activity of ~$0.24.
These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above
reconcile reported EPS growth (including projected 2025 reported EPS growth) to comparable EPS growth for the Company.
Segment Income from Operations - We
report segment income from operations in our Segment Information table below. Segment income from operations is a non-GAAP financial
measure that adjusts for the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and should be considered in addition to, and not
as a replacement for, income from operations. We exclude foreign currency transaction gains and losses for each reportable segment (CAG,
Water, and LPD) from segment income from operations and report the full amount of foreign currency transaction gains and losses in our
Other operating segment. We believe that reporting segment income from operations provides supplemental analysis to help investors further
evaluate each reportable segment’s business performance by excluding foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which are centrally
managed by our corporate treasury function and which we do not consider relevant for assessing the results of each reportable segment’s
operations. In addition, we believe that reporting segment income from operations provides information to investors regarding key metrics
that are used by management, including our chief operating decision-maker, in evaluating the performance of each reportable segment.

Free cash flow - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure
and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, reduced by the Company’s
investments in property and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations
of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property and equipment that are required to
operate the business. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement of or a superior measure to, net cash
provided by operating activities. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. To estimate projected 2025 free cash flow, we have deducted projected purchases of property
and equipment (also referred to as capital expenditures) of approximately $160 million. Free cash flow conversion, or the net income to
free cash flow ratio, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as free cash flow, with respect to a measurement period, divided
by net income for the same period. To calculate trailing twelve-month net income to free cash flow ratio for the twelve months ended March 31,
2025, we have deducted purchases of property and equipment of approximately $121 million from net cash provided from operating activities
of approximately $968 million, divided by net income of approximately $895 million.

EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring transaction expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions,
share-based compensation expense, and certain other non-cash losses and charges. Management believes that reporting Adjusted EBITDA,
gross debt, and net debt in the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios provides supplemental analysis to help investors further evaluate the
Company's business performance and available borrowing capacity under the
Company's credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of
or superior measures to, net income or total debt reported in accordance with GAAP. For further information on how Adjusted EBITDA
and the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratios are calculated, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2024 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Notes and Definitions
Discrete litigation expense accrual - During the first quarter
of 2025, the Company reduced its previously established $89.0 million accrual related to a now-concluded litigation matter by approximately
$9 million, resulting in a total accrual for this now-concluded litigation matter of approximately $80 million as of March 31, 2025,
which represented our best estimate of the amount of the loss.
Now-concluded litigation matter - The Company was a defendant
in a litigation matter involving an alleged breach of contract for underpayment of royalty payments made from 2004 through 2017 under
an expired patent license agreement, and the trial court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in 2020. Following appeals and in light of the
appellate court's April 3, 2025 decision, on April 17, 2025, the Company paid the judgment of approximately $80 million, and
the plaintiff executed a satisfaction and release of judgment, which was filed with the trial court, concluding this matter. For further
information, see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
