Venlo, the Netherlands, July 27, 2017 - QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced results of operations for the second quarter and first half of 2017, delivering on goals for improvements in net sales and adjusted earnings.

"QIAGEN's performance for the second quarter of 2017 further strengthens our confidence in achieving our full-year goals for strong sales growth and a double-digit increase in adjusted earnings per share, as our differentiated portfolio of Sample to Insight molecular testing solutions gains momentum," said Peer M. Schatz, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V.

"All customer classes and regions contributed to growth in the second quarter of 2017. Molecular Diagnostics maintained a 6% sales growth pace at constant exchange rates (CER). In the Life Science customer classes, Applied Testing led with 12% CER growth due to market share gains for human ID and forensics solutions, followed by Pharma (+8% CER) and Academia (+4% CER). Among key products, the QuantiFERON latent TB test delivered dynamic growth supporting the 2017 goal for more than 25% CER growth. The QIAsymphony automation system also remains on track to exceed the year-end 2017 goal of more than 2,000 cumulative placements, and to generate doubledigit CER growth in related consumables. In Personalized Healthcare, QIAGEN signed an important agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb to develop next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions for companion diagnostics to better guide the use of novel immuno-oncology therapies, and negotiations are progressing well with several other pharma companies for similar collaborations. These assays will be optimized for use on the GeneReader NGS System, the world's first complete Sample to Insight NGS workflow. GeneReader NGS solutions are building momentum with the recent launch of two new panels for breast and lung cancer analysis, as well as the first customers receiving customized panels, creating an almost unlimited panel offering available for GeneReader," Schatz said.

"The progress we are making in 2017 – anchored by our commitment to value creation and disciplined capital allocation – is creating a foundation for our ambitions to deliver on goals we have set for faster sales growth, double-digit earnings per share growth and increasing cash flows from 2016 through 2020," Schatz said.

Second quarter 2017 results

Net sales grew 4% to \$349.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 over the year-ago period, rising 6% at constant exchange rates (CER) with two percentage points of adverse currency movements. Adjusted net sales, which include all revenues from the January 2017 acquisition of the bioinformatics company OmicSoft, increased 5% to \$349.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, and increased 7% CER with two percentage points of adverse currency movements. Organic expansion contributed four percentage points to total CER growth, while three percentage points came from the June 2016 acquisition of Exiqon A/S, a leader in RNA analysis technologies, and to a lesser extent from the OmicSoft acquisition. No headwinds were seen from U.S. HPV test sales in the 2017 quarter.

Higher net sales of consumables and related revenues (+8% CER / 88% of sales) more than offset lower instrument sales (-4% CER / 12% of sales). Growth in Molecular Diagnostics (+6% CER / 48% of sales) was led by the QuantiFERON latent TB tests remaining on track for more than 25% CER growth for the year, as well as double-digit CER gains in the QIAsymphony automation system consumables portfolio and solid growth in Personalized Healthcare. In the Life Science customer classes, Applied Testing led with 12% CER growth thanks to market share gains in forensics and Human ID testing, while Pharma (+8% CER) and Academia (+4% CER) grew amid modestly improving customer demand trends. Among the regions, Asia-Pacific / Japan (+12% CER) showed the strongest growth trend, and ahead of the Europe / Middle East / Africa (+8% CER) region, while the Americas (+4% CER) benefited from the lack of headwinds from U.S. HPV test sales.

Operating income was \$22.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to \$29.8 million in the same period of 2016, and included charges of \$21 million for business integration and acquisitionrelated costs, of which \$16 million was related to the settlement of various acquisition-related litigation matters, with the vast majority for PCR-based biomarker disputes. Adjusted operating income, which excludes items such as business integration, acquisition-related costs and the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, rose 7% to \$74.5 million compared to \$69.5 million in the year-ago period. The adjusted operating income margin was steady at 21% of sales compared to the same period of 2016. Excluding the pre-tax restructuring charge of \$13.5 million (or \$0.05 per share after tax) in the second quarter of 2017, adjusted operating income rose 27% to \$88.0 million and the adjusted operating income margin was 25% of sales.

Net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V. was \$14.0 million, or \$0.06 per diluted share (based on 232.7 million diluted shares) compared to \$21.3 million, or \$0.09 per share (based on 238.7 million diluted shares) in the same quarter of 2016. Adjusted net income was \$57.7 million, or \$0.25 per share (\$0.25 CER), compared to \$57.2 million, or \$0.24 per share, a year earlier. Excluding the restructuring charge in the 2017 quarter, adjusted diluted EPS was \$0.30 per share (\$0.30 CER).

First half 2017 results

Net sales grew 4% to \$656.7 million in the first half of 2017 over the year-ago period, rising 6% CER with two percentage points of adverse currency movements. Adjusted net sales rose 4% to \$657.9 million in the first half of 2017, growing 6% CER with two percentage points of adverse currency movements. Organic expansion provided four percentage points to total CER growth, while two percentage points came from Exiqon and OmicSoft. Excluding U.S. HPV test sales, which created one percentage point of headwinds, adjusted net sales rose 7% CER over the first half of 2016.

Higher sales of consumables and related revenues (+7% CER / 89% of sales) more than offset a modest decline in instruments (-4% CER / 11% of sales). Molecular Diagnostics (+5% CER / 47% of sales) advanced +6% CER when excluding U.S. HPV test sales. In the Life Science customer classes, Applied Testing led with 16% CER growth, supported by single-digit growth trends in Pharma (+8% CER) and Academia (+3% CER). Among the regions, Asia-Pacific / Japan (+11% CER) had the fastest pace, followed by Europe / Middle East / Africa (+7% CER) and the Americas (+3% CER), which grew 5% CER excluding headwinds from lower U.S. HPV test sales.

Operating income was \$46.1 million in the first half of 2017 compared to \$46.4 million in the same period of 2016. Adjusted operating income, which excludes items such as business integration, acquisition-related costs and the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, increased 8% to \$134.4 million compared to \$124.0 million in the year-ago period, as the adjusted operating income margin remained steady at 20% of sales compared to the same period of 2016. Excluding the pre-tax restructuring charge of \$17.4 million (or \$0.06 per share after tax) in the first half of 2017, adjusted operating income rose 22% to \$151.7 million and the adjusted operating income margin was 23% of sales.

Net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V. was \$31.6 million, or \$0.14 per diluted share (based on 233.8 million diluted shares), in the first half of 2017 compared to \$37.0 million, or \$0.16 per share (based on 238.5 million diluted shares) in the first half of 2016. Adjusted net income was \$105.5 million, or \$0.45 per share (\$0.46 CER), compared to \$102.0 million, or \$0.43 per share, in the year-ago period. Excluding the restructuring charge in the first half of 2017, adjusted diluted EPS was \$0.51 per share (\$0.52 CER).

Balance sheet and cash flows

At June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents increased to \$542.8 million from \$439.2 million at December 31, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities was \$129.5 million in the first half of 2017, down from \$147.8 million in the year-ago period, in part due to \$30.8 million of cash paid in the first half of 2017 for restructuring. Purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment declined slightly to \$37.9 million in the first half of 2017 from \$39.8 million in the first half of 2016, and free cash flow was \$91.6 million compared to \$107.9 million in the year-ago period. Net cash used in investing activities was \$79.5 million in the first half of 2017, which included payments for the OmicSoft acquisition, compared to net cash used in investing activities of \$107.1 million in the first half of 2016. Net cash provided by financing activities was \$48.3 million compared to cash used in financing activities of \$5.0 million in the first half of 2016. Results for the 2017 period included net proceeds of \$300.2 million from the issuance of a German private placement ("Schuldschein") in the second quarter of 2017 at low interest rates and with maturities from 2021 until 2027, as well as \$244 million of cash used for the capital repayment as part of the synthetic share repurchase in January 2017.

"QIAGEN is moving ahead toward achieving the goals we have set for solid growth in sales and adjusted earnings with a mindset of continuous improvement to sustain this faster performance and to further increase margins," said Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V. "Based on the success of these initiatives, we decided to take additional actions during the second quarter of 2017. We expect these to generate benefits in 2018 and the coming years, especially as we focus on our goals for 2020 and on further improving sales growth, adjusted earnings and cash flow. Underlying free cash flow trends were strong in the first half of 2017, but were hampered by the cash restructuring payments. Furthermore, we are committed to our disciplined approach to capital allocation and intend to return the remaining \$55 million of our \$300 million return commitment through open-market share repurchases."

Sustaining growth trajectory with Sample to Insight portfolio

QIAGEN continues to capture growth opportunities with differentiated Sample to Insight solutions enabling molecular testing across the continuum from basic research to clinical healthcare. Among recent developments:

• QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus), the fourth generation of the market-leading blood test for detecting latent tuberculosis (TB) infection, was approved in June 2017 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). QIAGEN submitted a pre-market approval (PMA) supplement in late 2016, and U.S. commercialization is expected to begin later this year. The FDA approval follows the launch and successful uptake of QFT-Plus in more than 75 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America. The QuantiFERON-TB franchise continues to grow rapidly as global TB control efforts embrace the value of screening to prevent progression to active TB. Recent approval by France's Ministry of Health and Social Affairs of the reimbursement of QFT-Plus by the national health insurance system was among the important advances so far in 2017 in screening of at-risk individuals for latent TB infection.
• The GeneReader NGS System, the world's first complete Sample to Insight solution for nextgeneration sequencing, is gaining momentum in 2017 with new placements and an expanding menu of test content. In addition to the GeneRead QIAact Actionable Insights Tumor Panel for analysis of DNA variances in widespread cancers, QIAGEN has launched the GeneRead QIAact BRCA 1/2 Panel and the GeneRead QIAact Lung DNA Panel. All three panels analyze both FFPE (tissue biopsy) and liquid biopsy samples for use in clinical research. Additional assays are in development to further improve the unique utility of GeneReader for a broader range of oncology applications. QIAGEN also has started offering customized NGS assays to provide GeneReader customers with access to an extensive panel content portfolio.
• Personalized Healthcare continues to expand through collaborations to develop molecular tests providing genomic insights to guide medical decision-making for patients. As announced at the American Society for Cancer Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in June 2017, QIAGEN and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) signed a groundbreaking collaboration to explore the use of NGS technology to develop gene expression profiles (GEPs) as predictive or prognostic tools for use with novel BMS immuno-oncology (I-O) therapies in cancer treatment. This will leverage the combination of BMS's portfolio with QIAGEN's proven track record in developing and commercializing companion and complementary diagnostics, as well as QIAGEN's portfolio of NGS technologies. I-O therapies offer a novel way to treat cancer by using drugs to target the body's immune system to help fight cancer.

To support rapidly growing research in immuno-oncology, QIAGEN acquired the worldwide rights from The Johns Hopkins University to biomarkers to assess microsatellite instability (MSI) and mismatch repair (MMR), along with tumor mutation burden (TMB), which play key roles in identifying cancer patients who could benefit from novel I-O therapies.

• QIAsymphony, the premier Sample to Insight automation solution, continues to grow rapidly through global placements toward the goal of more than 2,000 cumulative placements by the end of 2017. During the first half of 2017, the systems' menu offering was expanded with two additional FDA-approved tests, in particular the JAK2 assay for use in blood cancer.

Initiatives to sustain faster sales momentum while delivering margin benefits

QIAGEN announced new initiatives during the fourth quarter of 2016 to sustain faster sales momentum while improving efficiency and accountability to increase margins. Significant efficiency benefits have already been delivered, and targeted actions are continuing during 2017. QIAGEN has expanded the scope of these programs, in particular aiming to capture greater benefits from shared service centers and digitization. QIAGEN recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately \$13.5 million, or about \$0.05 per share, in the second quarter of 2017 that was included in adjusted results, compared to a previous target for a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately \$6 million, or about \$0.02 per share. QIAGEN continues to review ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and now expects a pre-tax restructuring charge for full-year 2017 of approximately \$20 million, or about \$0.07 per share, related to these initiatives that will be included in adjusted results compared to the prior estimate for about \$10 million of pre-tax charges, or about \$0.03 per share.

Outlook

Based on the solid performance in the first half of the year, QIAGEN has upgraded its full-year 2017 guidance for adjusted net sales growth to approximately 7% CER (previously 6-7% CER). This includes about five to six percentage points of organic growth from the portfolio (including about one percentage point of headwind from reduced U.S. HPV test sales) and approximately one to two percentage point from the acquisitions of Exiqon (acquired in June 2016) and, to a lesser extent, OmicSoft (acquired in January 2017). QIAGEN also reaffirms its previous guidance for adjusted diluted EPS of about \$1.25-1.27 CER per share based on operating and financial leverage, which includes benefits from completion of the \$300 million share repurchase commitment by the end of 2017 and efficiency actions initiated in 2016, but excludes \$0.07 per share of restructuring costs expected for 2017. Based on exchange rates as of July 25, 2017, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to have an adverse impact on results of about up to one percentage point on full-year 2017 adjusted net sales, and about \$0.02 per share on adjusted diluted EPS. These expectations do not take into account any further acquisitions that could be completed in 2017.

For the third quarter of 2017, adjusted net sales are expected to rise approximately 7% CER from the prior-year quarter and adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be approximately \$0.32-0.33 CER excluding restructuring charges. Based on exchange rates as of July 25, 2017, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to have no impact on adjusted net sales, but an adverse impact of up to approximately \$0.01 per share on adjusted EPS results for the third quarter of 2017.

Quarterly results presentation, conference call and webcast details

A presentation with additional information can be downloaded at http://www.qiagen.com/de/aboutus/investors/corporate-calendar/. A conference call will be held on Friday, July 28, 2017, at 15:00 Central European Time (CET) / 9:00 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). A live webcast will be made available at this website, and a replay will also be made available after the event.

Use of adjusted results

QIAGEN reports adjusted results, as well as results on a constant exchange rate (CER) basis, and other non-U.S. GAAP figures (generally accepted accounting principles), to provide additional insight into its performance. These results include adjusted net sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V., adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow. Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that QIAGEN believes should be considered in addition to reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered as a substitute. Free cash flow is calculated by deducting capital expenditures for Property, Plant & Equipment from cash flow from operating activities. QIAGEN believes certain items should be excluded from adjusted results when they are outside of ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the comparability of results with competitors and its own prior periods. Furthermore, QIAGEN uses non-GAAP and constant currency financial measures internally in planning, forecasting and reporting, as well as to measure and compensate employees. QIAGEN also uses adjusted results when comparing current performance to historical operating results, which have consistently been presented on an adjusted basis. For these reasons, we are also presenting adjusted results excluding the impact of the restructuring charge taken in the first half of 2017. Reconciliations are included in the tables accompanying this report. QIAGEN does not reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections that are impacted by future decisions and actions. Accordingly, reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort. However, the actual amounts of these excluded items will have a significant impact on QIAGEN's GAAP results.

2016 change in accounting principle for equity-based compensation

In the fourth quarter of 2016, QIAGEN made a change in accounting principle for equity-based compensation to the "multiple attribution method," which now aligns QIAGEN's U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) reporting. QIAGEN believes this change is preferable since it provides better alignment of cost recognition over vesting periods. Results for previous years have been revised without any meaningful impact. For the first six months of 2016, diluted EPS was revised to \$0.16 from \$0.15, as a reduction of \$1.1 million in after-tax equity-based compensation was offset by an increase of about 1.5 million in the weighted average number of shares. For the second quarter of 2016, diluted EPS remained unchanged at \$0.09. For more information, please see table accompanying this press release and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

QIAGEN N.V. OVERVIEW OF 2016 RESULTS UNDER MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTION FOR EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION (unaudited)

In Q4 2016, QIAGEN changed to the "multiple attribution method" accounting principle for equity-based compensation. For the first six months of 2016, diluted EPS was revised to \$0.16 (previously \$0.15) due to a modest rounding difference from reduction in equity-based compensation versus increase in number of diluted shares. Diluted EPS for the second quarter remained unchanged at \$0.09.
