Charles River (CRL) Q2 EPS Jumps 11%
Charles River Laboratories International (NYSE:CRL), a global provider of laboratory services and research models for drug development, announced its latest earnings results on August 6, 2025. The company reported GAAP revenue of $1,032.1 million, slightly up 0.6% year-over-year (GAAP), and ahead of the estimated $985.2 million (GAAP). Non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) came in at $3.12, beating the analyst expectation of $2.50 (non-GAAP) and climbing 11.4% year over year on a non-GAAP basis. Although non-GAAP operating margins improved, GAAP profit and margins dropped due to higher charges relating to amortization, restructuring, and legal fees. The quarter reflected cost control and segment margin gains, but underlying organic sales trended negative, particularly in its largest business line. Management raised full-year 2025 guidance based on the performance but noted persistent operational challenges.
