OTHER INFORMATION
On May 6, 2019, QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt, Prime Standard: QIA) issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2019. 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. We also use the adjusted results when comparing to our historical operating results, which have consistently been presented on an adjusted basis.
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 business integration, acquisition and restructuring related items, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense charges 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 do 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 financial measures to the corresponding 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.

QIAGEN reaffirms 2019 outlook for growth in net sales and adjusted EPS (at CER)
Venlo, the Netherlands, May 6, 2019 - QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) announced results of operations for the first quarter of 2019, meeting its outlook for net sales growth at constant exchange rates, or CER, and exceeding the outlook for adjusted earnings per share at CER while driving global expansion of its Sample to Insight portfolio of molecular testing solutions.
“Our performance for the first quarter of 2019 was in line with our outlook for solid sales growth and continued improvements in profitability. QIAGEN is reaffirming the full-year outlook set for this year,” said Peer M. Schatz, Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN. “We have made significant progress in 2019 on advancing our portfolio of differentiated Sample to Insight solutions and are looking forward to delivering on its value.”
“We are well positioned to achieve our goals for full-year sales growth, and to deliver faster growth particularly in the second half of 2019 given the success of our growth initiatives as well as the soon anticipated U.S. approval of the QIAstat-Dx system for multiplex syndromic testing. Our QuantiFERON latent TB test grew in line with the 2019 sales target range in the first quarter of 2019, and we announced additional automation options for this important contributor in the global fight against tuberculosis. We also expanded our portfolio of solutions for next-generation sequencing, which remains on track to achieve $190 million of sales in 2019 compared to $140 million in 2018, with the launch of new liquid biopsy and gene panels integrated with QIAGEN bioinformatics solutions. The launch of two new fully integrated molecular testing solutions - QIAstat-Dx and NeuMoDx for integrated molecular laboratory testing - are progressing well in Europe, are receiving a very positive acceptance and we are ready to capture share gains and growth opportunities in their very large target markets. Our teams are

First quarter 2019 results
Net sales rose 1.5% to $348.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 from $343.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, growing 6.1% at constant exchange rates (CER) as currency movements against the U.S. dollar had a negative impact of 4.6 percentage points. About one percentage point of total CER sales growth came from the launch of QIAstat-Dx, while about five percentage points came from the rest of the business, and these absorbed about one percentage point from the combined impact of divesting the veterinary assay portfolio (April 2018) and the decline in third-party instrument service contracts that began in 2018 when QIAGEN decided to free up resources to support new product launches.
Consumables and related revenues (+7% CER / 90% of sales) outpaced gains in instruments (+2% CER / 10% of sales). Instrument sales rose 2% CER, but rose 8% CER excluding the decline in third-party instrument revenue contracts. Molecular Diagnostics (+10% CER / 48% of sales) saw double-digit CER gains in consumables and related revenues, but modestly weaker trends in instruments despite solid placements of the QIAsymphony and QIAstat-Dx systems. The QuantiFERON latent TB test grew 15% CER, in line with the 2019 target for 15-20% CER growth, while Precision Medicine grew on higher revenues from companion diagnostics co-development projects and the modular QIAsymphony system provided single-digit CER gains in consumables. Sales in Life Sciences (+3% CER / 52% of sales) rose 4% CER excluding the veterinary assay testing portfolio divestment (completed in April 2018), with mid-single-digit CER gains in instruments and low-single-digit CER growth in consumables and related revenues. Within Life Sciences, Pharma sales (+4% CER / 20% of sales) grew across all regions, while Academia / Applied Testing sales (+2% CER / 32% of sales) were higher in the Americas and Asia-Pacific / Japan regions, but faced ongoing weak trends in Europe.
Operating income was $41.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $47.9 million in the same period of 2018. Adjusted operating income - which excludes restructuring and other items such as business integration, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs and the amortization of intangible assets acquired by asset acquisitions and business combinations - grew 1% to $77.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, absorbing significant investments for QIAstat-Dx and the planned 2020 launch of a digital PCR system. The adjusted operating income margin was steady at 22% of net sales.
Net income was $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, or $0.13 per diluted share (based on 233.6 million diluted shares) compared to $32.3 million, or $0.14 per share (based on 232.5 million diluted shares) in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income was $62.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share ($0.28 CER), compared to $59.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.

Balance sheet and cash flows
At March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $552.9 million compared to $1.16 billion at December 31, 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities was $44.7 million for the first three months of 2019 compared to $48.2 million in the 2018 period, which included a $30.0 million prepayment of royalties to Natera, Inc. Results in the 2019 period included significant payments for taxes, derivative transactions and litigation settlements. Free cash flow was $21.3 million compared to $29.3 million in the 2018 period, as purchases of Property, Plant and Equipment rose to $23.4 million in the 2019 period (6.7% of sales) from $18.9 million (5.5% of sales) million in the 2018 period. Net cash used in investing activities was $170.6 million in the 2019 period, and included $125.0 million for the acquisition of digital PCR assets. This compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $108.5 million in the 2018 period. Net cash used in financing activities was $480.4 million in the 2019 period, and included $430.0 million for redemption of the 2019 convertible notes and $44.4 million for the share buyback program. This compared to $2.2 million of net cash used in financing activities in the 2018 period.
“QIAGEN again delivered solid sales growth in the first quarter of 2019 at constant exchange rates while exceeding our target for adjusted EPS. Our teams are executing on business expansion and operational efficiencies, even as we make significant investments in new product launches,” said Roland Sackers, Chief Financial Officer of QIAGEN N.V. “QIAGEN’s healthy financial position puts us in a strong position to continue making targeted investments in our portfolio while also improving returns to shareholders, and are announcing today a new $100 million share repurchase commitment.”
Advancing our Sample to Insight portfolio
QIAGEN is focused on growth opportunities for its Sample to Insight portfolio across the continuum of molecular testing from Life Sciences research to clinical healthcare using Molecular Diagnostics.
Precision Medicine continued its strong momentum with new companion diagnostic partnerships with pharma companies as well as the breakthrough U.S. regulatory approval and launch of a new companion diagnostic to help guide cancer treatment decisions. The therascreen® FGFR RGQ RT-PCR Kit was approved for use in selecting urothelial cancer patients eligible for treatment with the newly approved therapy BALVERSA (erdafitinib), developed by Janssen. The therascreen® FGFR companion diagnostic was made available under QIAGEN’s Day-One Lab Readiness program that includes leading U.S. labs and allowed for testing availability immediately after the FDA approval in April 2019. This is the first FDA-approved companion diagnostic for the FGFR genetic biomarker, and QIAGEN is now commercializing in total five FDA approved molecular companion diagnostics. QIAGEN has more than 25 master collaboration agreements with pharmaceutical and biotech partners to develop and gain regulatory approvals for companion diagnostics based on PCR and NGS technologies.
The QuantiFERON-TB for detection of latent tuberculosis (TB) infections achieved a milestone of 60 million tests administered worldwide, growing by more than 12 million tests annually on the strength of TB guideline expansions and new automation options to enhance the efficiency of screening with the fourth-generation QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus). In March 2019, QIAGEN began offering a second preanalytical processing option for QFT-Plus using the Tecan Group’s liquid handling technologies in addition to the preanalytical automation option with Hamilton Robotics. In late 2018, QIAGEN and DiaSorin launched an automated, CE-marked workflow to provide QFT-Plus readouts with DiaSorin’s widely used LIAISON systems for laboratories. Availability of this QFT-Plus readout on LIAISON is planned for 2019 commercialization in the U.S. followed by China in 2020. With QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus, QIAGEN offers a best-in-class assay known for ease of use and highest

9


clinical standards that can now be fully automated, and in particular embedded within a broad test menu on the LIAISON system.
Automation solutions are enlarging QIAGEN’s reach by addressing large market segments, especially in Molecular Diagnostics testing in clinical healthcare, with two disruptive, novel systems which address large market opportunities.
Clinical data presented at ECCMID 2019 for QIAstat-Dx, a next generation solution for multiplex syndromic testing, showed data which demonstrated that the new meningitis / encephalitis panel for QIAstat-Dx that is in late-stage clinical development, positively detected a panel of central nervous system pathogens with high analytical specificity, spanning the clinically relevant strains and subtypes. This new panel is planned to be launched in late 2019 as the third panel available for QIAstat-Dx in Europe, adding to the current menu with panels for detection of various respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. As previously announced, QIAGEN anticipates U.S. regulatory approval for QIAstat-Dx in mid-2019 with the respiratory panel, with plans to gain approval for the gastrointestinal panel later in the year. A deep pipeline of additional panels for syndromic conditions is in development.
A goal has been set for a total of 11 CE-IVD tests to be offered in Europe by the end of 2019 on the PCR-based NeuMoDx 288 and 96 systems. Two new tests - HBV (hepatitis B) and HCV (hepatitis C) - were launched as CE-IVD versions at ECCMID 2019, adding to the current menu of CT / NG (chlamydia and gonorrhea) and GBS (Group B streptococcal infection). Also, the mid-throughput NeuMoDx 98 version is now available in Europe in addition to the high-throughput NeuMoDx 288 launched earlier in 2019. Both systems build on the scalable and proprietary microfluidic NeuMoDx technology and utilize the same consumables and assays. QIAGEN has European distribution rights to these fully integrated molecular testing platforms.
Strong placements of the modular QIAsymphony automation system were achieved in the first quarter of 2019 in line with the goal of over 2,500 cumulative placements by the end of this year.
Differentiated technologies for preparing and analyzing the molecular content of biological samples continue to support growth. At the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting in April, QIAGEN introduced two new workflows for liquid biopsies involving ribonucleic acid (RNA) that provide convenient, less risky alternatives to invasive tissue biopsies. The new exoRNeasy Midi and Maxi Kits were launched to enable isolation of RNA from exosomes and other extracellular vesicles in urine and other body fluids, while the miRNeasy 96 Advanced QIAcube HT Kit was introduced to provide automated purification of total RNA, including miRNA, from serum and plasma samples. QIAGEN also launched new solution bundles at AACR 2019 for all QIAseq and QIAact DNA panels used with NGS technologies, integrating the CLC Genomics Workbench and QIAGEN Clinical Insight-Interpret software with assays for seamless analysis and interpretation of genomic data. More than 30 studies presented at AACR 2019 cited QIAGEN solutions.
Update on share buyback program
QIAGEN today announced plans to launch a new $100 million share repurchase program after completion of the current $200 million share repurchase commitment, of which approximately $50 million remains. As of April 30, 2019, a total of 4.1 million shares have been repurchased in the $200 million program, which was announced in January 2018, on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at a volume-weighted average price of

10


EUR 31.70 per share for about EUR 128.9 million (about $150 million at current exchange rates). Further information is available on the QIAGEN website.
Analyst and Investor Day on Thursday, June 20, 2019
QIAGEN has announced plans to hold an Analyst and Investor Day on Thursday, June 20, 2019, in New York, and provide an update on strategy and new mid-term ambitions. The event will include presentations and Q&A sessions with senior management. Further information about the event, which will be webcast live on our website, is available in the Investor Relations section of www.qiagen.com.
Outlook
QIAGEN reaffirms its outlook for 2019 to achieve further growth in net sales and adjusted diluted EPS. Net sales are expected to grow about 7-8% CER based on solid expansion of the portfolio, supported by about $30 million of contributions from QIAstat-Dx (acquired in April 2018). QIAGEN also continues to expect adjusted diluted EPS of about $1.45-1.47 CER per share for full-year 2019 based on improvements in operating and financial leverage. This outlook for adjusted diluted EPS takes into account investments to support the portfolio, in particular $0.03 CER of dilution for the digital PCR platforms being developed with technology acquired in early 2019 from Formulatrix, Inc. and planned to be launched in 2020. As of April 30, 2019, for the full-year 2019, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to create an adverse impact of about three percentage points on net sales growth at actual rates, and an adverse impact of about $0.03-0.04 per share on adjusted EPS. These expectations do not take into account any future acquisitions.
For the second quarter of 2019, QIAGEN expects net sales growth of about 5% CER. This outlook takes into account QIAGEN reaffirming expectations for QuantiFERON-TB sales to grow more than 15% CER in 2019, but for growth to slow to a mid-single-digit CER rate in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the year-ago period, which had very strong sales due to the transition of U.S. customers to the fourth-generation version. QIAGEN also expects significantly lower revenues in the second quarter of 2019 from companion diagnostic co-development agreements. Adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be approximately $0.33-0.34 CER per share. As of April 30, 2019, for the second quarter of 2019, currency movements against the U.S. dollar are expected to create an adverse impact of about four percentage points on net sales growth at actual rates, and an adverse impact of about $0.01 per share on adjusted 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 Tuesday May 7, 2019, at 15:00 Central European Time (CET) / 14:00 GMT / 9:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST). 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 gross margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted tax rates 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

11


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. Reconciliations are included in the tables accompanying this report.
