Repligen Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
WALTHAM, Mass., February 21, 2024
Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN), a life sciences company focused on bioprocessing technology leadership, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter of 2023, covering the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31,
2023. The company is also providing financial guidance for the full year 2024.
Tony J. Hunt, Chief Executive Officer of Repligen said, During the
fourth quarter, we again saw order strength, driven by our Filtration and Analytics franchises and continued momentum from new modality accounts, which reflects the differentiated nature of our products in this market. We are pleased to report
that for the second quarter in a row, our book-to-bill ratio was above 1.0, at 1.03 for the fourth quarter. Revenue for the quarter came in as expected with a nice
contribution from Metenova of $5 million, very much in-line with our expectations. While there are still pockets of headwinds and challenging macro factors in China, we remain optimistic that our
markets will improve as we advance through 2024, with growth accelerating in the second half of the year.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included in this release: book-to-bill ratios, base business revenue growth, adjusted
gross profit, adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin; adjusted cost of sales; adjusted R&D expense; adjusted SG&A expense; adjusted pre-tax income; adjusted income from operations;
adjusted net income; adjusted earnings per share-diluted; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company provides base revenue and base revenue growth rates, which exclude
COVID-related revenue, and the impact of acquisition revenue for current year periods that have no prior year comparables, to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance. The Company provides the impact of foreign currency
translation, to enable determination of revenue growth rates at constant currency, which exclude the impact of foreign currency translation, in order to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance to its past revenue performance. To
calculate the impact of foreign currency translation, the Company converts actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior period.
The Company s non-GAAP financial results and/or non-GAAP guidance exclude the impact of: inventory step-up charges; acquisition and integration costs; restructuring charges including the costs of severance; inventory
adjustments and accelerated depreciation among other charges; contingent consideration related to the Company s acquisitions; intangible amortization costs; loss on extinguishment of debt; non-cash
interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount; amortization of debt issuance costs related to Company s convertible debt; foreign currency impact of certain intercompany loans; and, the related impact on tax of non-GAAP charges. These costs are excluded because management believes that such expenses do not have a direct correlation to future business operations, nor do the resulting charges recorded accurately reflect the
performance of our ongoing operations for the period in which such charges are recorded.
All reconciliations of above GAAP figures (reported or guidance) to adjusted (non-GAAP) figures are detailed in the
tables included later in this press release. When analyzing the Company s operating performance and guidance investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for the comparable financial
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
