WALTHAM, Mass. – Feb. 17, 2022 – Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN), a life sciences company focused on bioprocessing technology leadership, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year 2021.

Tony J. Hunt, President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased with our financial results for both the fourth quarter and full year 2021, achieving year-over-year revenue growth of 72% and 83%, respectively. Our strong base business delivered 42% growth in the quarter and 38% for the year, reflecting accelerated demand for our products, on top of COVID tailwinds. At the franchise level, each generated impressive 2021 full year revenue growth topped by Filtration at approximately 130%. Strategically, our three 2021 acquisitions of Polymem, Avitide and BioFlex position us well to continue to drive above market growth in 2022. With our continuing investments in capacity and our strong market traction, we anticipate that 2022 will be another excellent year for the company, with projected overall revenue growth of 19%-24%.”

(which closed on September 20, 2021) and Polymem S.A. (which closed on July 1, 2021). The guidance below excludes the impact of potential additional acquisitions and future fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

FISCAL YEAR 2022 GUIDANCE:

•

Gross margin is expected to be 57%-58% on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.

•

Income from operations is expected to be in the range of $184-190 million on a GAAP basis. Adjusted (non-GAAP) income from operations is expected to be in the range of $234-$240 million.

•

Net income is expected to be in the range of $138-$143 million on a GAAP basis. Adjusted (non-GAAP) net income is expected to be in the range of $185-$190 million. Our current guidance reflects a tax rate of 21% on adjusted pre-tax income.

•

Fully diluted GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.39-$2.48. Adjusted (non-GAAP) fully diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $3.21-$3.30.

All reconciliations of GAAP to adjusted (non-GAAP) guidance are detailed in the tables included later in this press release.

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: revenue growth rate at constant currency; adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin; adjusted income from operations; adjusted operating margin; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income; adjusted net income per share; adjusted earnings per diluted share (EPS); adjusted cost of sales; adjusted R&D expense; adjusted SG&A and adjusted income tax. The Company provides organic revenue growth rates in constant currency to exclude the impact of both foreign currency translation, and the impact of acquisition revenue for current year periods that have no prior year comparable, in order to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance to its past revenue performance. The Company provides revenue growth rates in constant currency in order to facilitate a comparison of its current revenue performance to its past revenue performance. To calculate revenue growth rates in constant currency, 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: acquisition and integration costs, inventory step-up charges, intangible amortization costs, and contingent consideration expenses related to the Company’s acquisitions, as well as non-cash interest expenses and loss on conversion of debt related to the Company’s convertible debt, 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.

A reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP financial measures is included as an attachment to this press release. When analyzing the Company’s operating performance and guidance investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as substitutable for the comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
