"In 2025, Labcorp grew revenue over 7% and delivered double-digit adjusted EPS growth, margin expansion and strong free cash flow. Performance was driven by continued strength in our Diagnostics and Central Laboratory businesses," said Adam Schechter, Chairman and CEO of Labcorp. "We made significant progress across our strategic priorities, and we begin 2026 with strong momentum, and expect continued strong performance in 2026 as we remain focused on growth."
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Labcorp advanced its position as a partner of choice for health systems and regional/local laboratories, expanding access to Labcorp's broad menu of routine and specialty tests and driving efficiencies for customers. In the quarter, Labcorp:
- Entered into an agreement to acquire select outreach laboratory services from Parkview Health.
- Completed the acquisition of select outreach assets from Community Health Systems.
- Completed the acquisition of select anatomic pathology assets from Incyte Diagnostics.
- Subsequent to quarter end, completed the acquisition of select assets of Empire City Laboratories.
Throughout fourth quarter and subsequent to quarter end, the company continued to harness the power of science, technology and innovation:
- Launched the first FDA-cleared blood test for Alzheimer's disease assessment in primary care settings, enabling wider access, improving early evaluation and supporting timely patient care.
- Expanded access to its molecular residual disease (MRD) testing for stage I–III breast cancer, stage I–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer and stage III colon cancer to help clinicians detect cancer recurrence earlier than traditional imaging.
- Launched several new consumer-initiated tests through Labcorp OnDemand, including tests for food allergies, micronutrients and thyroid health.
- Announced that it became the first U.S. commercial laboratory to enter an agreement to implement Roche's fully automated mass spectrometry solution.
- Announced a strategic investment to build a new state-of-the-art 500,000 square foot Central Laboratory facility in Indiana, with construction expected to begin later in 2026.

Use of Adjusted Measures
The company has provided in this press release and accompanying tables "adjusted" financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted net income, adjusted EPS (or adjusted net income per share), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, and certain segment information. The company believes these adjusted measures are useful to investors as a supplement to, but not as a substitute for, GAAP measures, in evaluating the company's operational performance. The company further believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors in evaluating operating results and trends, and growth and shareholder returns, as well as in comparing the company's financial results with the financial results of other companies. However, the company notes that these adjusted measures may be different from and not directly comparable to the measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures and an identification of the components that comprise "special items" used for certain adjusted financial information are included in the tables accompanying this press release.
The company today is providing an investor relations presentation with additional information on its business and operations, which is available in the investor relations section of the company's website at www.Labcorp.com. Analysts and investors are directed to the website to review this supplemental information.
