Current report
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased due to higher revenue and a 140 basis point increase in the gross profit margin. The increase in the gross profit margin reflected benefits from proportionally higher IDEXX VetLab consumable and reference laboratory volume growth, the business mix impact associated with lower premium instrument revenue, operational productivity improvements, and net price realization, which offset inflationary costs. The increase in gross margin also reflects favorability in our Water and Livestock, Poultry and Dairy operating segments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased the gross profit margin by approximately 15 basis points, including the impact of lower hedge losses during the current period compared to the prior period.

Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities was $536.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $496.0 million used for the same period during the prior year.

This relative reduction of $208.0 million in cash provided was partially offset by the comparative impacts from other financing activities, including the use of cash in the prior period for the payment of senior notes of $103.4 million, $41.2 million less cash used during the current period for the repurchase of our common stock, and $26.2 million higher proceeds from stock option exercises during the current period.

Description of Operating Segments. We operate primarily through three reportable segments: Companion Animal Group (“CAG”), Water quality products (“Water”), and Livestock, Poultry and Dairy (“LPD”). CAG provides diagnostics and information management products and services for the companion animal veterinary industry and the biomedical research community. Water provides testing solutions and related instrumentation for the detection and quantification of various microbiological parameters in water. LPD provides diagnostic tests, services, and related instrumentation that are used to manage the health status of livestock and poultry, to improve producer efficiency, and to measure the quality and safety of milk. Our Other operating segment combines and presents our human medical diagnostic business with our out-licensing arrangement because they do not meet the quantitative or qualitative thresholds for reportable segments.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The critical accounting policies and the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are consistent with those discussed in our 2025 Annual Report in the section under the heading “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions.”

The following revenue analysis and discussion includes organic revenue growth, and references in this analysis and discussion to “revenue,” “revenues,” or “revenue growth” apply equally to revenue growth reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and to “organic revenue growth.” Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the percentage change in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period for the prior year, net of the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain business acquisitions, and divestitures. Organic revenue growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or as a superior measure to, revenue growth reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. 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.

Our cash disbursements are primarily related to compensation and benefits for our employees, inventory and supplies, repurchase of our common stock, taxes, research and development, capital expenditures, rents, occupancy-related charges, interest expense, and business acquisitions. Working capital totaled $154.2 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $265.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The change in working capital is primarily due to higher borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, we had $200.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $180.1 million as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we had a remaining borrowing availability of $718.2 million under our $1.25 billion Credit Facility, with $530.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, and an option for the Company to incur incremental revolving credit commitments and/or term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had $398.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. The general availability of funds under our Credit Facility is reduced by $1.8 million for outstanding letters of credit.
Current wording
We fund the capital needs of our business through cash on hand, funds generated from operations, proceeds from long-term senior note financings, and amounts available under our Credit Facility. We generate cash primarily through the payments made by customers for our companion animal, livestock, poultry, dairy, and water products and services, consulting services, and other various systems and services. Our cash disbursements are primarily related to compensation and benefits for our employees, inventory and supplies, repurchase of our common stock, taxes, research and development, capital expenditures, rents, occupancy-related charges, interest expense, and business acquisitions. Working capital totaled $221.8 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $265.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The change in working capital is primarily due to higher current borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facility, partially offset by higher accounts receivable and lower accrued expenses. As of June 30, 2026, we had $196.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $180.1 million as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we had a remaining borrowing availability of $729.2 million under our $1.25 billion Credit Facility, with $519.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, and an option for the Company to incur incremental revolving credit commitments and/or term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had $398.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. The general availability of funds under our Credit Facility is reduced by $1.8 million for outstanding letters of credit. We believe that, if necessary, we could obtain additional borrowings to fund our growth objectives. We further believe that current cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from operations, and committed borrowing availability will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital purchase requirements, and anticipated growth needs for the next twelve months. We believe that these resources, coupled with our ability, as needed, to incur incremental revolving credit commitments and/or term loans under our Credit Facility and otherwise obtain additional financing, will also be sufficient to fund our business as currently conducted for the foreseeable future. We may enter into new financing arrangements or refinance or retire existing debt in the future depending on market conditions. Should we require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations, for example to fund significant discretionary activities, we could elect to raise capital in the U.S. through the incurrence of debt or equity issuances, which we may not be able to complete on favorable terms or at all. In addition, these alternatives could result in increased interest expense or other dilution of our earnings.
