Total Revenue

+1.4% YoY (from $1,658M to $1,681M)

The modest overall increase reflects a mix of shifts across segments—with substantial declines in one legacy business offset by dramatic growth in Agilent CrossLab and moderate gains in Services and Other, illustrating the impact of the company’s strategic realignment compared to prior periods. " "

Life Sciences and Applied Markets

-23.5% YoY (from $846M to $647M)

The marked drop is tied to a restructuring initiative that realigned product portfolios and reassigned certain businesses to other segments, resulting in lower reported revenue in this traditional segment relative to historical levels. " "

Agilent CrossLab

+71.6% YoY (from $405M to $696M)

This surge is primarily due to the expanded scope of the CrossLab segment, which now includes additional service offerings and repair/maintenance revenue, benefiting from strategic repositioning that contrasts with its previous, smaller footprint. " "

Services and Other

+7.1% YoY (from $449M to $481M)

Growth here is driven by consistent high demand for contract repair and preventative maintenance services, continuing the trend from earlier periods despite declines elsewhere, and reinforcing the company’s emphasis on recurring revenue streams. " "

Americas Revenue

+6.2% YoY (from $630M to $669M)

The improvement is largely fueled by stronger performance in key product lines and recent acquisition benefits (e.g., from BIOVECTRA), which have bolstered revenue in the Americas, mirroring growth drivers from the prior period. " "

Europe Revenue

Nearly flat (from $458M to $463M)

Minimal change indicates that modest gains in certain segments were offset by declines in others, with favorable currency impacts similar to historical trends, resulting in nearly unchanged revenue compared to last year’s quarter. " "

Asia Pacific Revenue

Slight decline (from $570M to $549M)

The small drop continues the challenges seen in this region, with **softer demand—especially in key markets like China—**undermining overall revenue compared to the previous period’s higher figures. " "

Net Income

-8.6% YoY (from $348M to $318M)

The decline in net income is attributable to a combination of rising expenses (notably interest expense) and lower margins in certain product lines, contrasting with earlier periods when cost efficiencies and a better sales mix had supported higher profitability. " "

Basic EPS

-6% YoY (from $1.19 to $1.12)

The decrease in EPS mirrors the drop in net income and results from higher costs and potential dilution effects compared to the previous period, reflecting challenges in profitability despite cost management efforts. " "

Interest Expense

+27% YoY (from $22M to $28M)

The significant rise in interest expense is linked to increased leverage and higher borrowing rates, likely a consequence of the company's recent debt restructuring and new debt issuances relative to the prior period. " "

Depreciation

+16% YoY (from $62M to $72M)

The increase in depreciation expense reflects a larger asset base resulting from significant capital investments and acquisitions, consistent with higher capital expenditure levels observed in the previous period. " "

R&D Expenses

-11.7% YoY (from $128M to $113M)

The reduction is driven by cost-saving measures including lower salary and variable pay expenses, along with disciplined spending in R&D—continuing the trend of efficiency improvements from earlier periods. " "

Cash and Cash Equivalents

-15.9% YoY (from $1,748M to $1,467M)

The decline is primarily due to increased capital expenditures, higher tax outflows, and other operational cash uses, contrasting with the stronger cash levels seen previously. " "

Long-term Debt

+31.2% YoY (from $2,555M to $3,347M)

The jump in long-term debt stems from senior note issuances and broader debt restructuring efforts, significantly altering the capital structure relative to the last period’s lower leverage. " "

Shareholders’ Equity

Slight dip (from $6,188M to $6,027M)

A modest decline in equity is due to net income pressure being partially offset by cash outflows from share repurchases and dividends, which slightly reduced retained earnings compared to previous levels. " "
