Strategic Asset Sale and Focused Business Model for BioReference Health
OPKO is streamlining BioReference Health by preparing to sell its oncology and related clinical testing assets to Labcorp for $225 million, with $192.5 million payable at closing and an earn-out of up to $32.5 million based on performance.
The sale aims to monetize assets, sharpen focus on core testing operations, and improve financial profile.
Post-transaction, BioReference will retain core clinical testing in NY and NJ, including proprietary tests like 4Kscore, and expand into direct-to-consumer and employer-based testing.
Management emphasizes that this strategic move is expected to enhance margins and position BioReference for profitability.
