From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO Emmanuel Ligner attributed Avantor’s return to organic revenue growth to improved execution and stronger end markets, while saying Europe’s recovery lagged the Americas and Asia.
  • Steven Eck said faster growth at lower-margin VWR and mix within that business affected gross margins, while inflation also remained a pressure.
