Investor Relations

In the world of clinical diagnostics, bioMérieux SA emerges as a formidable player, weaving together a tapestry of innovation, precision, and reliability. Founded in 1963 by Alain Mérieux, the company has its roots deeply embedded in Lyon, France, where a legacy of scientific prowess meets a global vision. bioMérieux specializes in in vitro diagnostics, creating a broad array of products and solutions that essentially serve as the medical community’s early warning systems. Their expertise spans across fields like microbiology, immunoassays, and molecular biology, where they craft diagnostic kits and automated instruments that empower healthcare providers to detect and prevent diseases with remarkable accuracy. By tapping into a robust network of research and development, bioMérieux collaborates with hospitals, laboratories, and public health organizations worldwide to address both routine and critical diagnostic needs.

At the heart of bioMérieux’s business is its razor-sharp focus on infectious diseases, a sector that has seen accelerated growth in recent years, particularly with the advent of global health challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The firm generates revenue through the sale of its diagnostic solutions and related services, offering comprehensive testing systems that include reagents and consumables, maintenance contracts, and training for laboratory professionals. Their continuous investment in innovation allows them to expand their product portfolio and tailor solutions to the evolving needs of the healthcare industry. By maintaining a pulse on global health trends and investing in cutting-edge technologies, bioMérieux not only secures its market position but also plays a crucial role in strengthening global public health infrastructure.

AI Summary
Q2 2025

Sales Growth: bioMérieux delivered strong H1 2025 sales growth of 9.4%, outpacing much of the diagnostics market.

Profitability: Profitability increased substantially, with EBIT margin rising from 16.4% at the end of 2023 to 18.2% at June 2025, representing a 24% like-for-like increase.

Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow more than tripled to EUR 170 million in H1 2025 versus the previous year.

China Headwinds: Sales growth was held back by a sharp decline in China, particularly in microbiology and immunoassays, due to healthcare cost containment measures.

Upgraded Guidance: Full-year EBIT growth guidance was raised to a range of 12% to 18%, reflecting strong H1 performance.

Cost Efficiency: Margin gains were driven by a favorable product mix, procurement savings, manufacturing efficiencies, and limited headcount growth, notably through the GO.Simple initiative.

Tariff Impact: New tariffs are expected to have a EUR 5–10 million EBIT impact in H2 2025 and up to EUR 35 million in 2026, but management considers this manageable.

Innovation: The company continued to invest in R&D (12% of sales), completed acquisitions (SpinChip, Day Zero), and saw strong instrument placements, especially for SPOTFIRE and BIOFIRE.
