OTHER INFORMATION
On May 2, 2017, QIAGEN N.V. (Nasdaq: QGEN; Frankfurt, Prime Standard: QIA) issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
QIAGEN has regularly reported adjusted results, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, to give additional insight into our financial performance as a supplement to understand, manage, and evaluate our business results and make operating decisions. Adjusted results should be considered in addition to the reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered as a substitute. Reconciliations of reported results to adjusted results are included in the tables accompanying the press release. We believe certain items should be excluded from adjusted results when they are outside of our ongoing core operations, vary significantly from period to period, or affect the comparability of results with the Company’s competitors and our own prior periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are non-GAAP net sales, gross profit, operating income, pre-tax income, net income and diluted earnings per share. These adjusted results exclude costs related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment losses, acquisition and integration, including inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, as well as other special income and expense items. Management views these costs as not indicative of the profitability or cash flows of our ongoing or future operations and therefore considers the adjusted results as a supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, the reported GAAP results.
We use a measure of free cash flow to estimate the cash flow remaining after purchases of property, plant and equipment as required to maintain or expand our business. This measure provides us with supplemental information to assess our liquidity needs. We calculate free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
We also consider results on a constant currency basis. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar and our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are the local currency of the respective countries in which they are headquartered. A significant portion of our revenues and expenses is denominated in euros and currencies other than the United States dollar. Management believes that analysis of constant currency period-over-period changes is useful because changes in exchange rates can affect the growth rate of net sales and expenses, potentially to a significant degree. Constant currency figures are calculated by translating the local currency actual results in the current period using the average exchange rates from the previous year’s respective period instead of the current period.
We use non-GAAP and constant currency financial measures internally in our planning, forecasting and reporting, as well as to measure and compensate our employees. We also use the adjusted results when comparing to our historical operating results, which have consistently been presented on an adjusted basis.

Dr. Håkan Björklund joins QIAGEN Supervisory Board
QIAGEN reaffirms full-year 2017 outlook for 6-7% CER sales growth and adjusted EPS target before restructuring costs of $1.25-1.27 CER
Venlo, the Netherlands, May 2, 2017 - QIAGEN N.V. (NASDAQ: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced results of operations for the first quarter 2017, delivering on goals for improvements in net sales and adjusted earnings.
“QIAGEN delivered a good start into 2017, and this has reaffirmed our confidence in achieving full-year goals for strong sales growth and a double-digit increase in adjusted earnings per share,” said Peer M. Schatz, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN N.V. “The progress we are making in 2017 is providing further support for QIAGEN’s ambitions for faster sales growth, double-digit earnings gains and increased cash flows through 2020.

“All customer classes and regions contributed to our growth in the first quarter. Molecular Diagnostics grew at a 6% pace at constant exchange rates excluding the expected headwinds from reduced U.S. HPV test sales. Applied Testing led among the Life Science customer classes with 21% CER growth driven by the uptake of new products in Human ID / Forensics, while sales to Pharma customers grew nicely (8% CER growth) in line with recent trends and Academia sales were also higher (3% CER growth) amid funding concerns in Europe. Among key products, QuantiFERON-TB grew at a strong double-digit CER rate and is on track to deliver on our 25% CER annual growth target, fueled by new peer-reviewed publications supporting the modern gold standard for TB detection and by national screening programs. Placements of the QIAsymphony system were very robust, and we are well-positioned to reach more than 2,000 cumulative placements by the end of the year. We continue to build momentum for the GeneReader NGS System as the only truly complete Sample to Insight solution for next-generation sequencing. At the recent AMP Global meeting, the high accuracy and performance were highlighted in multiple studies along with its other benefits such as cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Among recent developments in Personalized Healthcare, QIAGEN launched the first FDA-cleared assay for variants in the JAK2 gene to help diagnose a form of leukemia, becoming our fifth FDA-approved/cleared oncology assay. The acquisition in January of OmicSoft, which broadens our ability to offer powerful multi-omics data management infrastructure and expertly curated datasets, has been well received by customers who have come to rely on QIAGEN bioinformatics for analysis and interpretation of complex genomic data to find valuable insights.

“Anchored by our commitment to value creation and disciplined capital allocation, we are moving ahead on our strategy to expand QIAGEN’s differentiated position as a global leader in Sample to Insight solutions for molecular testing. We look forward to making further progress during 2017 in capitalizing on our competitive advantages to even better support more than 500,000 customers along the continuum from basic research to clinical healthcare worldwide.”
First quarter 2017 results
Net sales grew 3% at actual rates to $307.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 over the year-ago period, and rose 5% CER with two percentage points of adverse currency movements. Adjusted net sales, which include all revenue contributions from the January 2017 acquisition of OmicSoft, also increased 3% at actual rates to $308.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, and rose 6% CER with three percentage points of adverse currency movements. Organic expansion contributed three percentage points to total CER growth, while the rest came from the January 2017 acquisition of OmicSoft, a leading provider of omics data solutions, and, more significantly, the June 2016 acquisition of Exiqon A/S, a leader in RNA analysis technologies. Excluding U.S. HPV test sales, which created one percentage point of headwinds, adjusted net sales rose 7% CER over the same period in 2016.
Higher sales of consumables and related revenues (+7% CER / 89% of sales) more than offset lower instrument sales (-3% CER / 11% of sales). Molecular Diagnostics (+3% CER / 46% of sales) grew 6% CER excluding U.S. HPV test sales, led by double-digit CER gains in QIAsymphony consumables and QuantiFERON latent TB tests. In the Life Sciences, Applied Testing led with 21% CER growth, supported by ongoing single-digit CER growth trends in Pharma (+8% CER) and Academia (+3% CER). All regions grew in the first quarter of 2017, with the fastest pace in Asia-Pacific / Japan (+10% CER), followed by Europe / Middle East / Africa (+7% CER) and the Americas (+3% CER), which grew 6% CER excluding U.S. HPV test headwinds.
Operating income was $23.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $16.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted operating income, which excludes items such as business integration, acquisition-related costs and the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, rose 10% to $60.0 million from $54.5 million in the year-ago period, with the adjusted operating income margin at 19% of sales compared to 18% in the same period of 2016. Excluding the pre-tax restructuring charge of $3.8 million (or $0.02 per share after taxes) in the first quarter of 2017, adjusted operating income rose 17% to $63.8 million and the adjusted operating income margin was 21%.
Net income attributable to owners of QIAGEN N.V. was $17.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share (based on 234.9 million diluted shares) compared to $15.7 million, or $0.07 per share (based on 238.4 million diluted shares) in the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted net income was $47.8 million, or $0.20 per share ($0.21 CER), compared to $44.9 million, or $0.19, in the year-ago period. Excluding the restructuring charge taken in the first quarter of 2017, adjusted diluted EPS was $0.22 ($0.22 CER).
Balance sheet and cash flows
At March 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents were $245.4 million compared to $439.2 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to the $244.0 million capital repayment made with the synthetic share repurchase in the first quarter of 2017. Net cash provided by operating activities rose to $60.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 from $48.7 million, while purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment fell to $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 from $18.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Free cash flow rose 46% to $44.2

7


million from $30.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, including payments for the OmicSoft acquisition, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $17.7 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $244.5 million due to the capital repayment, up from $4.0 million in the 2016 period.
“The solid performance for the first quarter of 2017 gives us confidence to achieve our goals for 2017 and the growth trajectory we have set for 2020 in terms of improving sales growth, adjusted earnings and cash flow,” said Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V. “We have an ongoing disciplined approach to capital allocation which is also demonstrated by plans to return $300 million to shareholders by the end of 2017, with the first tranche of $245 million completed in January. We are optimizing our balance sheet while maintaining flexibility for targeted acquisitions that strengthen our Sample to Insight portfolio to better address customer needs.”

Solid growth trajectory with Sample to Insight portfolio
QIAGEN continues to capture growth opportunities with its differentiated portfolio of Sample to Insight solutions that are enabling more than 500,000 customers worldwide to gain valuable insights across the continuum from basic research to clinical healthcare. Among recent developments:

9


The GeneReader NGS System continues to gain momentum as the world’s first complete Sample to Insight solution for next-generation sequencing. U.S. and European researchers introduced findings at the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Global Congress in Berlin confirming the powerful performance, accuracy and ease of use of the GeneReader NGS System for analyzing tissue and liquid biopsies from a variety of tumors. QIAGEN also launched a program called “NGS Live in Your Lab in 30 Days” that enables customers to complete validation and quickly initiate routine use of a complete Sample to Insight workflow. QIAGEN also announced the formation of MAQGEN, a new joint venture in China with Maccura Biotechnology, a leading Chinese in-vitro diagnostics company, to accelerate the development and commercialization of the GeneReader NGS System in the Chinese market. MAQGEN will also assume responsibilities for local adaptations of GeneReader (primarily test menu) as well as for regulatory clearances.

QuantiFERON-TB gained further attention as the modern gold standard for TB detection with new peer-reviewed publications underscoring its clinical utility, which helped create new demand from national TB control efforts that are embracing the value of screening and treatment to prevent progression to active, contagious TB. QuantiFERON is rapidly expanding its leadership as the solution of choice for latent TB testing, as also highlighted by the increasing wins for screening programs. A recent example was the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) choosing QuantiFERON-TB for routine pre-employment and healthcare worker screening. QuantiFERON-TB is currently marketed in more than 60 countries.

Personalized Healthcare assay launches so far in 2017 include the ipsogen JAK2 RGQ PCR Kit, the first FDA-cleared assay for detection of a variant in the JAK2 gene, to aid in diagnosing patients suspected of having a specific form of leukemia. The ipsogen JAK2 assay adds to QIAGEN’s strong position in hemato-oncology testing and marks the fifth QIAGEN FDA-cleared oncology test. QIAGEN also recently began commercializing its AdnaTest Prostate Cancer Panel AR-V7 (for research use only) using liquid biopsies to detect a genetic variant indicating resistance to potential therapies for advanced prostate cancer. QIAGEN acquired an exclusive worldwide license from Johns Hopkins University for this biomarker.
Sustaining faster sales momentum while delivering margin benefits
QIAGEN announced during the fourth quarter of 2016 new initiatives 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 continues to expect a pre-tax restructuring charge of about $10 million (or about $0.03 per share after taxes) for 2017, of which about $3.8 million (or about $0.02 per share after taxes) was taken in the first quarter of 2017. In line with QIAGEN’s policy, these charges are included in adjusted results.
New Supervisory Board member
Dr. Håkan Björklund joined the Supervisory Board as a new member in March 2017. Dr. Björklund brings an extensive international and life sciences background to QIAGEN through his current role as Operating Executive at Avista Capital Partners, as well as his previous roles as CEO of the global pharmaceutical company Nycomed, Regional Director at Astra (now AstraZeneca) and President of Astra Draco. He also currently serves as Chairman of the Board of publicly-listed Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi). Dr. Björklund earlier served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lundbeck A/S, and also was a Member

10


of the Board of Directors of Alere Inc., Coloplast A/S, Atos Medical AB and Danisco A/S. He holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. All current members of the Supervisory Board are expected to stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 21, 2017.
Outlook
For full-year 2017, QIAGEN reaffirms the initial guidance provided in November 2016 for adjusted net sales growth of approximately 6-7% CER. This includes about 5-6 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 percentage point from the acquisitions of Exiqon (acquired in June 2016) and OmicSoft (acquired in January 2017). QIAGEN also reaffirms its 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 $0.03 per share of restructuring costs expected for 2017. Based on exchange rates as of April 30, 2017, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to have an adverse impact on results of about two percentage points on full-year 2017 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 second quarter of 2017, adjusted net sales are expected to rise approximately 5-6% CER. Adjusted diluted EPS are expected to be approximately $0.28-0.29 CER on an underlying basis, and about $0.27-0.28 CER including the anticipated restructuring charge of about $0.01 per share. Based on exchange rates as of April 30, 2017, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to have an adverse impact on results for the second quarter of 2017 of about 2-3 percentage points on adjusted net sales, and about $0.01 per share on adjusted diluted EPS.
Quarterly results presentation, conference call and webcast details
A presentation with additional information can be downloaded at http://www.qiagen.com/de/about-us/investors/corporate-calendar/. A conference call will be held on Wednesday, May 3, 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.

11


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 quarter 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 three months of 2016, diluted EPS was revised to $0.07 from $0.06 per share after revision, as the reduction of $0.8 million in after-tax equity-based compensation was offset by an increase of about 1.5 million in the weighted average number of diluted shares. 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 three months ended March 31, 2016, adjusted diluted EPS was revised to $0.07 (prior $0.06) due to a modest rounding difference from reduction in equity-based compensation versus increase in number of diluted shares.
