Charles River Laboratories 8-K Feb 25, 2026 Event Analysis

Item 7.01 · Regulation FD Disclosure

  • CDMO and Cell Solutions divested to GI Partners primarily for contingent performance-based payments — no meaningful upfront cash — combined 2025 revenue $143M
  • European Discovery Services sold to IQVIA for ~$145M cash plus up to $10M contingent; assets generated $144M in 2025 DSA segment revenue
  • Divestitures expected to cut 2026 reported revenue by ~5%, shifting guidance to -5.0% to -3.5% reported growth
  • Margin positive: transactions projected to add 100+ bps non-GAAP operating margin improvement and ~$0.10 EPS accretion in 2026 partial year
  • Updated non-GAAP EPS guidance $10.80–$11.30 vs prior $10.70–$11.20; CDMO deal structure (contingent-only proceeds) is a notable risk vs. clean cash exit
