provide meaningful clinical insights while giving time back to busy practice staff.”

The Companion Animal Group generated revenue growth of 7% as reported

and 6% organic for the quarter. Solid growth was supported by CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 7% as reported and organic.

CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth was supported by 10% reported and organic gains in international regions. U.S. CAG Diagnostics

recurring revenue growth of 5% as reported and organic continued to outpace sector growth levels in the third quarter.

Additional U.S. companion animal practice key metrics are available

in the Q3 2024 Earnings Snapshot accessible on the IDEXX website, www.idexx.com/investors.

Solid global growth was achieved across IDEXX's testing modalities.

▪

▪

Reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services generated 3% reported and 2% organic revenue growth, driven by solid International growth.

▪

Rapid assay products revenues grew 6% as reported and organic, driven by solid gains in the U.S., including benefits from higher net price realization and equivalent days effects.

Water

Water revenues grew 13% as reported and organic for the quarter, reflecting

double-digit gains in the U.S. and continued solid growth in Europe.

Livestock, Poultry and Dairy (“LPD”)

LPD revenues declined 3% as reported and 2% organic for the quarter.

Solid gains in the U.S. and for poultry tests globally were offset by lower Asia Pacific revenues, including impacts from reduced swine

testing and herd health screening levels.

Gross Profit and Operating Profit

Gross profits increased 9% as reported and on a comparable basis.

Gross margin of 61.1% increased 120 basis points as reported and 140 basis points on a comparable basis supported by benefits from business

mix, led by high growth in IDEXX VetLab consumable revenues and veterinary software, services, and diagnostic imaging recurring revenues

and lower instrument costs.

Operating margin was 31.2% for the quarter, higher than the prior

year by 110 basis points as reported and 100 basis points on a comparable basis. Operating margin results reflect 7% operating expense

growth as reported and 8% on a comparable basis. Operating expense growth was driven by higher sales and marketing expense and higher

R&D spend related to advancing the Company's growth and innovation agenda.

2024 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook

The Company is updating its full year revenue growth guidance range

to $3,865 million - $3,890 million, or reported growth of 5.5% - 6.2%, a reduction of $38 million at midpoint. This reflects an adjustment

of ~1.5% at midpoint to full year estimates for organic revenue growth, which is now projected at 5.3% - 6.0%, reflecting recent trends

in U.S. clinical visit and demand levels. The updated guidance range includes ~$15 million of favorable impact from more recent foreign

exchange estimates.

The Company maintained a consistent full year reported operating margin

outlook of 28.7% - 29.0%, including ~160 basis points of impact related to the previously reported discrete litigation expense accrual.

At midpoint, projected full year comparable operating profit margin expansion of 70 - 100 basis points includes a ~40 basis point negative

growth impact from lapping a customer contract resolution payment in the first quarter of 2023.

The Company narrowed its EPS outlook range to $10.37 - $10.53, maintaining

a consistent midpoint. 2024 EPS results include a $0.56 negative impact from a discrete litigation expense accrual recorded in the second

quarter. Negative EPS impacts related to adjustments to the organic revenue outlook were offset by $0.02 in favorable adjustments to

foreign exchange estimates and favorable refinements to interest expense and effective tax rate estimates. The updated EPS growth outlook

is 3% - 5% as reported and 10% - 11% on comparable basis, including a ~2% negative growth impact from lapping a customer contract resolution

payment in the first quarter of 2023.

Company specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,

future events or otherwise.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following defines terms and conventions and provides reconciliations

regarding certain measures used in this earnings release and/or the accompanying earnings conference call that are not required by, or

presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), otherwise

referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. To supplement the Company’s consolidated results presented in accordance with GAAP,

the Company has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or adjust certain items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial

measures provide useful supplemental information for its and investors’ evaluation of the Company’s business performance

and liquidity and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of the performance of the Company’s business and its liquidity

and to the performance and liquidity of our peers. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating

the Company’s business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation

or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures

may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Constant currency - Constant currency references are non-GAAP

financial measures which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are consistent with how management evaluates

our performance and comparisons with prior and future periods. We estimated the net impacts of currency on our revenue, gross profit,

operating profit, and EPS results by restating results to the average exchange rates or exchange rate assumptions for the comparative

period, which includes adjusting for the estimated impacts of foreign currency hedging transactions and certain impacts on our effective

tax rates. These estimated currency changes impacted third quarter 2024 results as follows: decreased gross profit growth by 0.2%, decreased

gross margin growth by 20 basis points, decreased operating expense growth by 0.8%, increased operating profit growth by 0.4%, increased

operating profit margin growth by 10 basis points, and increased EPS growth by 0.4%. Constant currency revenue growth represents the

percentage change in revenue during the applicable period, as compared to the prior year period, excluding the impact of changes in foreign

currency exchange rates. See the supplementary analysis of results below for revenue percentage change from currency for the three and

nine months ended September 30, 2024 and refer to the 2024 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release

for estimated foreign currency exchange rate impacts on 2024 projections and estimates.

Growth and organic revenue growth - All references to growth

and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent prior year period unless specifically noted. Organic revenue growth is

a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the percent change in revenue, as compared to the same period for the prior year, net of

the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain business acquisitions, and divestitures. Management believes that reporting

organic revenue growth provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior

and future periods and to the performance of our peers. Organic revenue growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement

of or a superior measure to, revenue growth reported in accordance with GAAP. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation

of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Please refer to the constant

currency note above for a summary of foreign currency exchange rate impacts. Please refer to the 2024 Growth and Financial Performance

Outlook section of this earnings release for estimated full year 2024 organic revenue growth for the Company and CAG Diagnostics recurring

revenue growth. The percentage change in revenue resulting from acquisitions represents revenues during the current year period, limited

to the initial 12 months from the date of the acquisition, that are directly attributable to business acquisitions. Revenue from acquisitions

is expected to benefit projected full year 2024 revenue growth by 0.4% and

have no impact on CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth.

Comparable growth metrics - Comparable gross profit growth,

comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating

margin gain (or growth) are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and non-recurring

or unusual items (if any). Please refer to the constant currency note above for a summary of foreign currency exchange rate impacts.

Management believes that reporting comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense

growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain (or growth) provides useful information to investors

because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent

of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding key metrics used by management. Comparable gross profit growth,

comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating

margin gain (or growth) should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, gross profit growth,

gross margin gain, operating expense growth, operating profit growth and operating margin gain reported in accordance with GAAP.

Projected 2024 comparable operating margin expansion outlined in the

2024 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release reflects: (i) projected full year 2024 reported operating

margin is adjusted for impacts of the discrete expense accrual related to an ongoing litigation matter in the second quarter of 2024;

and (ii) projected full year 2024 reported operating margin includes an immaterial impact from year-over-year foreign currency exchange

rate changes at noted exchange rates.

These impacts described above reconcile reported gross profit growth,

gross margin gain, operating expense growth, operating profit growth and operating margin gain (including projected 2024 operating margin

expansion) to comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain, comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating

profit growth and comparable operating margin gain for the Company.

Comparable EPS growth - Comparable EPS growth is a non-GAAP

financial measure that represents the percentage change in earnings per share (diluted) ("EPS") for a measurement period, as

compared to the prior base period, net of the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior base period and excluding

the tax benefits of share-based compensation activity under ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements

to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, and non-recurring or unusual items (if any). Management believes comparable EPS growth

is a more useful way to measure the Company’s business performance than EPS growth because it enables better period-over-period

comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency

to investors regarding a key metric used by management. Comparable EPS growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement

of or a superior measure to, EPS growth reported in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the constant currency note above for a summary

of foreign currency exchange rate impacts.

Projected 2024 comparable EPS growth outlined in the 2024 Growth and

Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release reflects adjustments to projected full year 2024 reported EPS for: (i)

estimated positive share-based compensation activity of ~$0.11; (ii) a negative $0.56 impact from a discrete expense accrual related

to an ongoing litigation matter in the second quarter of 2024; and (iii) estimated negative year-over-year foreign currency exchange

rate change impact of ~$0.03 at noted exchange rates.

These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above

reconcile reported EPS growth (including projected 2024 reported EPS growth) to comparable EPS growth for the Company.

Free cash flow - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure

and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, reduced by the Company’s

investments in property and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations

of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property and equipment that are required to

operate the business. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement of or a superior measure to, net cash

provided by operating activities. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the three

and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. To estimate projected 2024 free cash flow, we have deducted projected purchases of

property and equipment (also referred to as capital expenditures) of approximately $160 million. Free cash flow conversion, or the net

income to free cash flow ratio, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as free cash flow, with respect to a measurement period,

divided by net income for the same period. To calculate trailing twelve-month net income to free cash flow ratio for the twelve months

ended September 30, 2024, we have deducted purchases of property and equipment of approximately $124 million from net cash provided from

operating activities of approximately $917 million, divided by net income of approximately $866 million.

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Leverage Ratios) - Adjusted EBITDA,

gross debt, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest,

taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring transaction expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, share-based compensation

expense, and certain other non-cash losses and charges. Management believes that reporting Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt

in the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios provides supplemental analysis to help investors further evaluate the Company's business performance

and available borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility. Adjusted

EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, net income

or total debt reported in accordance with GAAP. For further information on how Adjusted EBITDA and the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratios

are calculated, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for

the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Notes and Definitions

Discrete litigation expense accrual - During the second quarter

of 2024, the Company increased its previously established $27.5 million accrual related to an ongoing litigation matter by $61.5 million.

Ongoing litigation matter - The Company is a defendant in an

ongoing litigation matter involving an alleged breach of contract for underpayment of royalty payments made from 2004 through 2017 under

an expired patent license agreement. The Company's total accrual of $89.0 million for this matter includes the discrete $61.5 million

litigation expense accrual recorded in the second quarter of 2024 and represents our best estimate of the amount of the probable loss.

The actual loss associated with this matter may be higher or lower than the accrued amount depending on the ultimate outcome of this

matter. For further information, see the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
