AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Luminex Corporation (Nasdaq: LMNX) today announced 2019 highlights and 2020 guidance.
All amounts in this release are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Current Highlights
2020 Guidance
The company expects 2020 consolidated revenue to be between $352 and $362 million, up approximately 7% to the mid-point relative to 2019, which includes approximately 2 to 3 percent headwind attributable to the departure of certain remaining sales to LabCorp.
CEO Commentary
"2019 was a transition year for Luminex as we adjusted to the departure of certain sales to LabCorp and the integration of the Flow Cytometry acquisition," said Nachum "Homi" Shamir, President & CEO. "I am very pleased with the significant progress we are making. Luminex is now a more diversified company, with opportunities for strong organic growth, profitability, and cash flow, and exciting new platforms being launched across each of our major product lines. We are well positioned to achieve our mid-term target of $500 million of annual revenue in the next 4 to 5 years."
