Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a leading life sciences company, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, and raised full-year guidance.
“Our strategy focusing on science, innovation and technology led to strong second quarter results as we continued to advance health care and patient experiences,” said Labcorp Chairman and CEO Adam Schechter. “Patients and pharmaceutical clients accelerated their return to normal health care and business activities, which drove 46% revenue growth in our base business. In light of our second quarter performance and improved outlook, we are raising full-year financial guidance.”
Labcorp continues to further scientific advancements and make progress on its five-pillar strategy. As an example, in July the company signed an agreement to acquire the outreach laboratory business of Minnesota-based North Memorial Health and provide management services to its inpatient lab. Additionally, the company made significant strides in oncology, introducing capabilities that bring together its leading diagnostic testing and comprehensive drug development services. By doing so, Labcorp can deliver targeted solutions by leveraging breakthrough science and insights from clinical data to aid better treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes. The company also acquired the remaining ownership interest in OmniSeq, a pioneer in solid tumor profiling, after the quarter ended. This addition enhances Labcorp’s growing portfolio of diagnostic tests and clinical trial opportunities for people with cancer.
Separately, the company continued its critical contributions to the ongoing pandemic response, working with state and federal governments to expand testing access and facilitate vaccinations, and supporting the development of COVID-19 vaccines and therapies. To date, the company has performed over 50 million COVID-19 tests.
Consolidated Results
Second Quarter Results
Revenue for the quarter was $3.84 billion, an increase of 38.7% over $2.77 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was due to organic Base Business growth of 35.5%, acquisitions of 1.2%, and favorable foreign currency translation of 2.0%. COVID-19 PCR and antibody testing (COVID-19 Testing) revenue of $444.0 million was flat compared to last year. Base Business includes Labcorp's operations except for COVID-19 Testing.
Operating income for the quarter was $704.1 million, or 18.3% of revenue, compared to $297.7 million, or 10.8%, in the second quarter of 2020. The company recorded amortization, restructuring charges, and special items, which together totaled $135.8 million in the quarter, compared to $83.0 million during the same period in 2020. Adjusted operating income (excluding amortization, restructuring charges, and special items) for the quarter was $839.9 million, or 21.9% of revenue, compared to $380.7 million, or 13.8%, in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in operating income and margin was primarily due to organic Base Business growth, acquisitions, and LaunchPad savings, partially offset by higher personnel costs.
Net earnings for the quarter were $467.4 million, compared to $231.6 million in the second quarter of 2020. Diluted EPS were $4.76 in the quarter, up from $2.37 in the same period in 2020. Adjusted EPS (excluding amortization, restructuring charges, and special items) were $6.13 in the quarter, up from $2.57 in the second quarter of 2020.
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $487.2 million, compared to $370.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in operating cash flow was due to favorable working capital, partially offset by lower cash earnings. Capital expenditures totaled $97.2 million, compared to $98.5 million a year ago. As a result, free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital expenditures) was $390.0 million, up from $272.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.
At the end of the quarter, the company’s cash balance and total debt were $2.0 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively. During the quarter, the company repurchased $300.0 million of stock representing approximately 1.1 million shares.
Year-To-Date Results
Revenue was $8.00 billion, an increase of 43.1% from $5.59 billion in the first half of 2020. The increase was due to organic growth of 40.3%, acquisitions of 1.1%, and favorable foreign currency translation of 1.7%. The organic revenue increase includes a 23.8% contribution from the company's organic Base Business and a 16.6% increase in COVID-19 Testing.
Operating income was $1,762.0 million, or 22.0% of revenue, compared to $105.1 million, or 1.9%, in the first half of 2020. The company recorded amortization, restructuring charges, special items, and impairments, which together totaled $259.8 million in the first half of 2021, compared to $641.5 million during the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the goodwill impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted operating income (excluding amortization, restructuring charges, special items, and impairments) was $2,021.8 million, or 25.3% of revenue, compared to $746.6 million, or 13.3%, in the first half of 2020. The increase in operating income and margin was primarily due to organic Base Business growth, acquisitions, and LaunchPad savings, partially offset by higher personnel costs.
Net earnings (losses) in the first half of 2021 were $1,237.0 million, compared to ($85.6) million in the first half of 2020.

Operating cash flow was $1,644.8 million, compared to $574.5 million in the first half of 2020. The increase in operating cash flow was due to higher cash earnings and favorable working capital.

Revenue for the quarter was $2.37 billion, an increase of 39.7% over $1.69 billion in the second quarter of 2020.
