Exhibit 99.1

QIAGEN to discontinue NeuMoDx integrated PCR testing system, support customers during transition period

•NeuMoDx 96 and NeuMoDx 288 Molecular Systems decision taken in light of challenging post-pandemic market development trends

•Reaffirms Q2 2024 outlook, raises full-year 2024 outlook for adjusted diluted EPS to $2.14 CER, has started discussions with NeuMoDx customers to assess impact on 2024 sales

•Restructuring charge of approximately $400 million – including about $300 million of non-cash charges – planned to be recognized primarily in 2024

Venlo, the Netherlands, June 6, 2024 – QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced a decision to discontinue the NeuMoDx 96 and 288 Molecular Systems in light of the market development trends for these product lines following the COVID-19 pandemic and changing customer needs for integrated PCR-based clinical molecular testing systems.

This decision will allow QIAGEN to refocus resources and efforts on developing and commercializing other innovative solutions within its portfolio, in particular the QIAstat-Dx system for syndromic testing, the QIAcuity portfolio of digital PCR systems and the QIAGEN Digital Insights (QDI) bioinformatics business. These are complemented by QIAGEN building on proven leadership positions in Sample technologies and the QuantiFERON-TB franchise.

QIAGEN understands the impact of this decision on its customers and will continue to provide support for existing NeuMoDx users during a transition period into 2025. This includes ongoing maintenance, technical support, and the provision of necessary consumables for a specified period. Support will also be offered in helping customers transition to other solutions.

“We recognize the valuable role that the NeuMoDx 96 and 288 Molecular Systems have played in many laboratories, especially in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the market dynamics have since changed considerably and we do not see a realistic path to developing this system in a value-creating way. We are committed to supporting our NeuMoDx customers throughout this transition,” said Thierry Bernard, CEO of QIAGEN. “This decision underscores our unwavering commitment to focus where we can develop profitable leadership positions, and frees up resources to invest in other portfolio areas.”

QIAGEN reaffirms Q2 2024 outlook, updates FY 2024 outlook for improved profitability

QIAGEN has reaffirmed its outlook for Q2 2024 for net sales of at least $495 million at constant exchange rates (CER) and adjusted diluted EPS (earnings per share) of $0.52 CER.

For full-year 2024, QIAGEN has updated its outlook for adjusted diluted EPS to at least $2.14 CER (prior at least $2.10 CER). QIAGEN has started discussions with NeuMoDx customers to review implications of

this decision on the 2024 NeuMoDx sales forecast for at least $55 million CER. QIAGEN plans to provide details on the outcome of these discussions with the Q2 2024 results announcement.

Restructuring charge to be recognized primarily in Q2 2024

As a result of this decision, and combined with related actions, QIAGEN expects to incur a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $400 million (or about $1.40 per diluted share after taxes), and predominantly in the second quarter of 2024. This charge, which will be excluded from adjusted results, includes approximately $300 million of non-cash items. These include about $90 million for inventory and about $210 million for long-term assets (of which about $120 million for acquired intellectual property). Cash charges involve commitments to customers and suppliers, severance payments and other obligations. Related workforce reductions will be handled in a socially responsible manner with respect for affected employees and in compliance with local labor laws.
