Repligen Corporation (RGEN - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings per share of 33 cents, which came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company had recorded adjusted earnings of 53 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

The year-over-year decrease in total revenues can be attributed to the absence of COVID-related revenues and the expected decrease in revenues from protein franchisees.
