      • Net sales of $1,692.3 million; increase of 0.5%; organic decline of 0.4%
      • Net income of $38.1 million; Adjusted EBITDA of $254.3 million
      • Diluted GAAP EPS of $0.06; adjusted EPS of $0.21
      • Operating cash flow of $178.2 million; free cash flow of $142.8 million
      • Increases FY 2026 organic revenue growth and adjusted EPS guidance

      RADNOR, Pa., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR), a leading global provider of mission-critical products and services to customers in the life sciences and advanced technology industries, reports better than expected results for the second fiscal quarter of 2026.

      Emmanuel Ligner, President and Chief Executive Officer, says: "Our Revival program is strengthening how we serve our customers, leading to improved business performance.

      "Our second quarter results exceeded our expectations across several key financial metrics, and we generated robust free cash flow, which we used to repay $112.1 million of debt, reinforcing our commitment to strengthen our balance sheet. I'm delighted by the improved performance in our VWR Distribution and Services segment, which returned to positive organic revenue growth more quickly than we anticipated. Also, our Bioscience and Medtech Products segment performed near the high end of our expectations. We continue to focus on creating a better experience for our customers and delivering long-term value for our shareholders," Ligner concludes.

      Second Quarter 2026

      For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net sales were $1,692.3 million, which was up 0.5% compared to the second quarter of 2025. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 0.9%, resulting in a 0.4% decline in net sales on an organic basis.

      Net income decreased to $38.1 million from $64.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, and net income margin was 2.3%; adjusted net income was $143.3 million compared to $161.2 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $254.3 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.0%.

      Operating income was $121.8 million, with an operating income margin of 7.2%; adjusted operating income was $225.1 million, with an adjusted operating income margin of 13.3%.

      Diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $0.06, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.21.

      Second Quarter 2026 – Segment Results

      VWR Distribution & Services

      • Net sales were $1,240.5 million, a reported increase of 2.7%, as compared to $1,207.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 1.0%, resulting in a sales increase of 1.7% on an organic basis.
      • Adjusted Operating Income was $126.4 million as compared to $141.6 million in the comparable prior period. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 10.2%.

      Bioscience & Medtech Products

      • Net sales were $451.8 million, a reported decrease of 5.1%, as compared to $475.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 0.5%, resulting in a 5.6% sales decline on an organic basis.
      • Adjusted Operating Income was $117.6 million, as compared to $131.4 million in the comparable prior period. Adjusted Operating Income margin was 26.0%.

      Adjusted Operating Income is Avantor's segment reporting profitability measure under generally accepted accounting principles and is used by management to measure and evaluate the performance of our Company's business segments.

      As of June 30, 2026, total debt, gross, was $3,715.4 million and cash and cash equivalents were $306.8 million.

      Non-GAAP measure (definitions and/or reconciliations below).  We are unable to provide a

      reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures provided in our full-year 2026 guidance without

      unreasonable effort because of the difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts

      and adjustment items with a reasonable degree of certainty including net income, restructuring

      charges, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and income tax expense. These

      amounts are dependent upon future events and may be outside of our control. We note that

      the actual impact of these items may have potentially significant impact on our full-year results

      determined in accordance with GAAP.

      (2)

      • Net interest expense is expected to decline modestly when compared to Fiscal 2025
      • Adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 22.5%
      • Fully diluted share count of 677M shares

      Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
      To evaluate our performance, we monitor a number of key indicators. As appropriate, we supplement our results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors, creditors and others in assessing our performance. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported GAAP results because they may include or exclude certain items as compared to similar GAAP-based measures, and such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Rather, these measures should be considered as an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements included in reports filed with the SEC in their entirety and not rely solely on any one single financial measure or communication.

      The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are sales growth (decline) on an organic basis, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted net leverage, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.

      • Organic net sales growth (decline) eliminates from our reported net sales change the impacts of revenues from acquisitions and divestitures that occurred in the last year (as applicable) and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to measure and evaluate our underlying commercial operating performance consistently across our segments and the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
      • Adjusted Operating Income is our operating income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (iii) gain on sale of business, and (iv) certain other adjustments. Adjusted Operating Income margin is Adjusted Operating Income divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as ways to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. These measures are used by our management for the same reason. Additionally, Adjusted Operating Income is our segment reporting profitability measure under GAAP.
      • Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss adjusted for the following items: (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (iv) depreciation expense, (v) losses on extinguishment of debt, (vi) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (vii) gain on sale of business, and (viii) certain other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales as determined under GAAP. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as ways to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. These measures are used by our management for the same reason.
      • Adjusted net income is our net income or loss first adjusted for the following items: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (iii) charges associated with the impairment of certain assets, (iv) gain on sale of business, and (v) certain other adjustments. From this amount, we then add or subtract an assumed incremental income tax impact on the above-noted pre-tax adjustments, using estimated tax rates, to arrive at Adjusted Net Income. We believe that this measure is useful to investors as a way to analyze the business consistently across the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
      • Adjusted EPS is our adjusted net income divided by our diluted GAAP weighted average share count adjusted for anti-dilutive instruments. We believe that this measure is useful to investors as an additional way to analyze the underlying trends in our business consistently across the periods presented. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
      • Adjusted net leverage is equal to our gross debt, reduced by our cash and cash equivalents, divided by our trailing 12-month Adjusted EBITDA (excluding stock-based compensation expense and including the expected run-rate effect of cost synergies and the incremental results of completed acquisitions and divestitures as if those acquisitions and divestitures had occurred on the first day of the trailing 12-month period). We believe that this measure is useful to investors as a way to evaluate and measure the Company's capital allocation strategies and the underlying trends in the business. This measure is used by our management for the same reason.
      • Free cash flow is equal to our cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus direct transaction costs and income taxes paid related to acquisitions and divestitures (as applicable) in the period. Free cash flow conversion is free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. We believe that these measures are useful to investors as they provide a view on the Company's ability to generate cash for use in financing or investing activities. These measures are used by our management for the same reason.

      Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this release.
