What is this Case About: Danaher Corporation (DHR) Misled Investors Regarding Revenue Growth Associated with the Company's COVID-19-related Businesses

According to the complaint, in 2020 and 2021, Danaher’s diagnostic tests and life sciences research tools were widely used in the effort to combat the COVID-19 virus. As a result, Danaher experienced a significant upswing in both revenue growth over the course of this period.

However, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) as the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic subsided, revenue growth associated with Danaher’s COVID-19-related businesses was declining; (ii) contrary to the Company’s prior representations to investors, revenues associated with Danaher’s non-COVID-19-related businesses were insufficient to compensate for the foregoing negative trend; (iii) accordingly, Danaher overstated the Company’s ability to sustain the growth it had experienced in 2020 and 2021; and (iv) as a result, it was unlikely that Danaher would be able to meet its 2023 revenue forecasts.

On April 25, 2023, Danaher announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2023. Among other items, Danaher reported that “[r]evenues decreased 7.0% year-over-year to $7.2 billion, with a 4.0% non-GAAP core revenue decrease, due to the impact of lower COVID-19 revenue, and 6.0% non-GAAP base business core revenue growth.” The Company also projected that “[f]or the second quarter and full year 2023, . . . non-GAAP base business core revenue growth will be up mid-single digits year-over-year,” down from an earlier projection of high-single-digit growth. Notably, this announcement appeared to be at odds with Danaher’s prior reassurances that revenues associated with the Company’s non-COVID-19-related businesses would compensate for the foregoing negative results. On this news, Danaher’s stock price fell $22.36 per share, or 8.79%, to close at $231.99 per share on April 25, 2023.
