4.0% organic revenue growth in 9M 2025; Eurofins on track for solid full year growth and margin expansion

The Eurofins network of companies delivered steady improvement in organic revenue growth during the first nine months of 2025:

• Reported revenues in 9M 2025 totalled €5,415m, an increase of 5.3% vs 9M 2024. This was driven by organic growth¹³ and acquisitions, and was despite a -1.5% headwind from foreign exchange as the Euro strengthened against most currencies, and also one fewer public working day than in 9M 2024.
• Organic revenue growth¹³ in 9M 2025 was 4.0%, which includes an adjustment for public working days of 0.7%;

• In Europe, organic growth¹³ of 3.5% (2.7% excluding public working days) was led by Food & Feed and Environment Testing, with improved growth in Clinical Diagnostics in the third quarter.
• In North America, organic growth¹³ of 3.5% (2.9% excluding public working days) reflected further strengthening of Food, Feed and Environment testing, while end-market demand for Genomics and Ancillary activities within BioPharma Services remained soft.
• In Rest of the World, organic growth¹³ of 8.4% (8.1% excluding public working days) included robust performance across all of Food & Feed Testing, BioPharma, and Consumer & Technology Products Testing.
• Start-ups contributed 0.6% to organic growth in 9M 2025, with 8 new start-up laboratories and 22 blood collection points opened during the period.

• Organic revenue growth¹³ in Q3 2025 was 4.2%, which includes an adjustment for public working days of 0.1%,

Objectives

Eurofins is confirming its objectives for FY 2025 and FY 2027 as announced at the FY 2024 results presentation on 30 January 2025, and confirmed at the H1 2025 results presentation.

• For FY 2025, the objectives assume the same average exchange rates in FY 2025 as in FY 2024. Strengthening of the Euro against other currencies (particularly the US Dollar), as seen in the first nine months of 2025, may have translational effects on Eurofins’ financial results reported in Euros.
• If the spot US Dollar/Euro exchange rate as of the end of Q3 2025 persists through to the end of the year, Eurofins would expect a headwind of -1.6% to FY 2025 reported revenue growth from the US Dollar. The US Dollar has provided around 70% of the total foreign exchange headwind to revenue in the first nine months of 2025.
• In that scenario, Eurofins would continue to expect improvement in the EBITDA³ margin compared to the level in FY 2024.
• Looking forward, as an indication of the sensitivity to foreign exchange, if the US Dollar/Euro rate as of the end of the Q3 had held for the whole of FY 2025, then that would result in reported revenue for FY 2025 being around 3% lower than at 2024 average rates, and the EBITDA margin around 20bps lower.

Comments from the CEO, Dr Gilles Martin:

“Eurofins companies have delivered a solid performance in the first nine months of 2025, with organic growth steadily improving despite the continued softness in some ancillary Biopharma and Agroscience end markets. Our teams have remained focused on supporting customers with innovation and service quality, while driving productivity and financial execution. As a result, we also remain on track to deliver margin expansion for FY 2025, including absorbing headwinds that were not anticipated when our objectives were set coming from the strong Euro in addition to the dilution from the acquisition of SYNLAB’s clinical diagnostics operations in Spain.

At the same time, our robust financial position has enabled us to continue to invest in long-term growth, while also repurchasing shares and acting on the strong mandate of our shareholders to acquire all related party-owned property of interest, and remaining committed to our target financial leverage range (1.5 to 2.5). With the completion of the transaction, we believe the topics of interest to Eurofins’ key stakeholders in recent quarters have now been fully addressed.

Looking forward, our continued innovation and investment mean Eurofins is well positioned to sustain strong performance in Life, and also capture further opportunities across the portfolio, particularly as Biopharma demand begins to recover. In addition, growth comparators should ease across several areas in the coming quarters. We continue to execute on our strategic plans including full digitalisation and building a world class hub and spoke laboratories network with best-in-class level of service to clients, and are confident in delivering our mid-term financial profile, of strong organic revenue growth, an improved profit margin, lower SDIs, and higher cash conversion.”

For the purpose of organic growth calculation for year Y, the relevant scope used is the scope of businesses that have been consolidated in the Group's income statement from the previous financial year (Y-1). Revenue contribution from companies acquired in the course of Y-1 but not consolidated for the full year are adjusted as if they had been consolidated as of 01 January Y-1.

Also, all revenues from discontinued activities / disposals in both the previous financial year (Y-1) and year Y are excluded from the calculation.

A business will generally be considered mature when: i) the Group’s systems, structure and processes have been deployed; ii) it has been audited, accredited and qualified and used by the relevant regulatory bodies and the targeted client base; iii) it no longer requires above-average annual capital expenditures, exceptional restructuring or abnormally large costs with respect to current revenues for deploying new Group IT systems. The list of entities classified as mature is reviewed at the beginning of each year and is relevant for the whole year.
