ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 4, 2026, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The information set forth under Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure, concerning the Supplemental Earnings Presentation (as defined therein) is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On July 31, 2026, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company") initiated a strategy-driven restructuring plan as part of our ongoing program to improve operating performance and strengthen the Company’s competitive position. The restructuring plan impacts our operations and functions throughout the world and includes the elimination of certain positions, the consolidation of certain functions, and the closure of various facilities. We estimate that we will incur total pre-tax charges of approximately $80 to $90 million, which we anticipate will consist primarily of one-time termination benefits, including cash severance payments, healthcare benefits, and related transition assistance. The estimates for headcount reduction, timing and charges in certain areas of the international business are subject to completion of applicable local employee consultative processes. The restructuring plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2027.

The amounts are preliminary estimates based on the information currently available to management. It is possible that additional charges and future cash payments could occur in relation to the restructuring actions.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements set forth in Item 2.05 above constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s expectations or estimates relating to the restructuring plan, including the anticipated workforce reduction, timing of completion of the restructuring plan, the ability of the Company to manage local employee consultative processes, and timing and amounts of the charges to be recorded and cash expenditures to be made in connection with the restructuring plan. The Company cautions you that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Although the Company believes that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, the forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Actual performance and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include: the Company’s ability to complete the restructuring plan within the anticipated timeline; the impact of the workforce reduction on the Company’s business; unanticipated charges not currently contemplated that may occur as a result of the restructuring plan; and those risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in subsequent filings made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any intention or responsibility for updating or revising any forward-looking statements contained in Item 2.05 above.
