Revenue
| Dollars in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumables | $797 | $768 | $29 | 4% |
| Instruments | 120 | 112 | 8 | 7 |
| Total product revenue | 917 | 880 | 37 | 4 |
| Service and other revenue | 174 | 161 | 13 | 8 |
| Total revenue | $1,091 | $1,041 | $50 | 5% |
The increase in consumables revenue in Q1 2026 was primarily due to demand for high-throughput consumables as the NovaSeq X installed base continues to grow. Instruments revenue increased in Q1 2026 primarily driven by increased NovaSeq X shipments. Service and other revenue increased in Q1 2026 primarily due to revenue attributable to SomaLogic. Total revenue in Q1 2026 was impacted, across all products and services, by a decrease in revenue in our Greater China region of $20 million primarily due to our inclusion on the unreliable entities list.
Gross Margin
| Dollars in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross profit | $721 | $683 | $38 | 6% |
| Gross margin | 66.1% | 65.6% | ||
Gross margin increased in Q1 2026 primarily due to decreases in field service and warranty costs and higher product margins, partially offset by the addition of SomaLogic revenue that is lower margin and higher tariff costs.
Operating Expense
| Dollars in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Research and development | $240 | $252 | $(12) | (5)% |
| Selling, general and administrative | 272 | 267 | 5 | 2 |
| Total operating expense | $512 | $519 | $(7) | (1)% |
R&D expense decreased by $12 million, or 5%, in Q1 2026 primarily due to a decrease in restructuring charges of $11 million. SG&A expense increased by $5 million, or 2%, in Q1 2026 primarily due to an increase in outside professional services, primarily related to our global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system upgrade and legal expenses, and an increase in acquisition-related costs, primarily related to the SomaLogic acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in restructuring charges of $17 million.
Other Income (Expense)
| Dollars in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest income | $11 | $11 | $— | —% |
| Interest expense | (24) | (25) | 1 | (4) |
| Other (expense) income, net | (39) | 32 | (71) | (222) |
| Total other (expense) income, net | $(52) | $18 | $(70) | (389)% |
Interest income consisted primarily of interest on our money market funds. Interest expense consisted primarily of interest on our outstanding term debt. The fluctuation in other (expense) income, net in Q1 2026 was primarily due to a net loss recognized on our strategic investments in Q1 2026, consisting of realized and unrealized activity, compared to a net gain recognized in Q1 2025, primarily related to our retained GRAIL investment in both periods.
Provision for Income Taxes
| Dollars in millions | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Income before income taxes | $157 | $182 | $(25) | (14)% |
| Provision for income taxes | 23 | 51 | (28) | (55) |
| Net income | $134 | $131 | $3 | 2% |
| Effective tax rate | 14.8% | 27.9% | ||
Our effective tax rate was 14.8% in Q1 2026 compared to 27.9% in Q1 2025. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for Q1 2026 was primarily due to prior year tax return adjustments. The tax rate in Q1 2026 was favorably impacted by the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, such as in Singapore. In Q1 2025, the variance from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to the $10 million income tax expense impact of capitalizing research and development expenses for tax purposes. The income tax rate in Q1 2025 was favorably impacted by the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, such as in Singapore.
Our future effective tax rate may vary from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates and the other factors discussed in the risk factor “We are subject to risks related to taxation in multiple jurisdictions” described in “Risk Factors” within the Business & Market Information section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025.
