Harvard Bioscience Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 05 Aug 2021 06:00:06 America/Chicago
Strong double digit revenue growth, solid margin performance despite global supply chain disruptions
- Revenue up 25% year-over-year as sales momentum continues
- Cellular and Molecular (CMT) product revenue up 22%
- Pre-clinical product revenue up 20%
- Operating margins impacted by higher global supply chain costs
HOLLISTON, Mass., Aug. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq: HBIO) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Jim Green, Chairman and CEO said, “Demand for our pre-clinical products remains very strong, with revenue up 20% over prior year, and also up significantly over pre-Covid levels. Our CMT products also experienced meaningful growth, up 22% over prior year as academic lab sales continue to recover. Operating income on a GAAP and adjusted basis was negatively impacted by increased material, freight and labor efficiency costs associated with ongoing global supply disruptions. However, adjusted operating margins continue to exceed pre-COVID margin levels.”
Green concluded, “Expanding demand from CRO/pharma combined with continuing academic lab recovery and a strong backlog supports our improving revenue outlook in spite of global supply disruptions; we now expect revenue growth of 12% to 15% for fiscal 2021 compared to 2020. Although supply disruptions are forcing extra costs in the short term, we still expect adjusted operating margin expansion to the mid-teens for the year.”

They also exclude the tax impact of the reconciling items.
