WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023.
Second Quarter 2023 Highlights
Second quarter revenue was $10.69 billion, 3% lower versus the same quarter last year. Core organic revenue growth was 2%.
Second quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $3.51.
Second quarter adjusted EPS was $5.15.
The macroeconomic environment was more challenging in the second quarter and our PPI Business System helped the company to effectively navigate the environment.
Strong execution of our proven growth strategy, launching a range of high-impact, innovative new products, including the groundbreaking Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Astral™ mass spectrometer, a significant advancement in mass spectrometry offering high resolution and speed to enable the discovery of new proteins and advance precision medicine; the Thermo Scientific Metrios 6, a fully automated scanning transmission electron microscope incorporating advanced machine learning to accelerate semiconductor development; the Gibco™ OncoPro™ Tumoroid Culture Medium Kit, to accelerate development of novel cancer therapies; and the first FDA-cleared assays for risk assessment and clinical management of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication.
Further strengthened our industry-leading commercial engine and trusted partner status with the opening of a state-of-the-art customer center of excellence in Milan, allowing us to consolidate capabilities from across the company to better serve our customers and enhance productivity.
Shortly after the quarter ended, announced a definitive agreement to acquire CorEvitas for approximately $0.9 billion. Highly complementary to our leading clinical research business, CorEvitas provides regulatory-grade, real-world evidence solutions to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies with objective data and clinical insights to improve patient care and clinical outcomes.
Building on our environmental, social and governance priorities, we published our 2022 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, highlighting our actions in these areas and reflecting our commitment to society and our stakeholders.
“The macroeconomic environment became more challenging in the second quarter. Economic activity in China slowed, and across the economy more broadly, businesses became more cautious in their spend,” said Marc Casper, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The team is leveraging our PPI Business System to effectively manage through this dynamic environment.”
Casper added, “Our experienced management team has a long track record of successfully navigating and capitalizing on dynamic macro environments. We are incredibly well positioned to create value for all of our stakeholders and ensure a bright future for our company.”
