Previously, VWR announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Avantor, under which Avantor will acquire VWR for $33.25 per share in cash. In light of the agreement, VWR no longer provides or updates financial guidance and will not hold an investor conference call on second quarter 2017 results. Pending completion of the European Commission review, we now anticipate the deal to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Manuel Brocke-Benz, President and Chief Executive Officer of VWR, commented: “The second quarter highlights our ongoing solid execution. Despite the timing of the Easter holiday, which reduced EMEA-APAC by more than two billing days in the second quarter, total Company organic revenues still increased by 2.3%. Our financial results highlight how we have continued to benefit from ongoing R&D spend, consolidation and the globalization of our customers.”
