Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Q4 and Full Year 2020 Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star one on your telephone. Please be advised that today's conference may be recorded. If you require any further assistance, please press star zero. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Ron Hutton. Sir, please go ahead. Thank you, Latif. Good afternoon, and thank you all for joining us. Today, we will review the fourth quarter and full year results of 2020. With me on the phone today are Norman Schwartz, our Chief Executive Officer, Ilan Daskal, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Andy Last, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Annette Tumolo, President of the Life Science Group, and Dara Wright, President of the Clinical Diagnostics Group. Before we begin our review, I would like to caution everyone that we will be making forward-looking statements about management's goals, plans, and expectations, our future financial performance, and other matters. These statements are based on assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Included in these forward-looking statements are statements regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Bio-Rad's results and operations and steps Bio-Rad is taking in response to the pandemic. Our actual results may differ materially from these plans and expectations, and the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown. We cannot be certain that Bio-Rad's responses to the pandemic will be successful, that the demand for Bio-Rad's COVID-19-related products is sustainable, or that Bio-Rad will be able to meet this demand. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, and I encourage you to review our filings with the SEC, where we discuss in detail the risk factors in our business. The company does not intend to update any forward-looking statements made during the call today. Our remarks today will also include references to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share, which are financial measures that are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles. Investors should review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP results contained in our earnings release. I will now turn the call over to Ilan D askal, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Thank you, Ron. Good afternoon. Thank you all for joining us in these challenging times. Now, before I begin the detailed fourth quarter and full year discussion, I would like to ask Andy Last, our Chief Operating Officer, to provide an update on Bio-Rad's operations in light of the current pandemic-related environment that we are experiencing globally. Andy? All right. Thank you, Ilan. I'd just like to take a few minutes to review our current state of operations around the world. As an opening comment, I would like to recognize the tremendous contributions and flexibility of our employees around the world during 2020. Their response to the shifting needs of operating in a pandemic has been truly exemplary. At the onset of the pandemic, we set ourselves three key areas of focus to manage through this challenging period, which we continue with into 2021. As a quick reminder, these are the ongoing safety of our employees, continuing manufacturing operations to ensure product supply and support of our customers, and making sure we continue to make progress on our core strategies. As we closed out 2020 and entered into 2021, we've now achieved a steady state for operating in the pandemic, reflecting employee safety, work from home, and adoption of company and local policy and practices. Overall, we have experienced minimal internal transmission of COVID across the company, and where we have suspected cases have found the internal testing of employees in the U.S. using our Droplet Digital PCR platform to be very valuable in maximizing productivity. As we enter 2021, we are well positioned to meet market and customer demands driven by the pandemic in our manufacturing sites, and R&D is operating effectively. In addition, our commercial organization has deployed digital tools where appropriate to minimize on-site visits to only the essentials required to keep customers up and running on our platforms. So, with that brief overview, I will pass it back to Ilan. Thank you. Thank you, Andy. Now, I would like to review the fourth quarter and full year results for 2020. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $789.8 million, which is a 26.5% increase on a reported basis versus $624.4 million in Q4 of 2019. On a currency-neutral basis, sales increased 24.4%. The fourth quarter sales included $32 million of damages award related to intellectual property litigation with 10x Genomics, covering the period between 2015 and 2018. Excluding the $32 million, the fourth quarter year-over-year currency-neutral revenue growth was 19.4%. The fourth quarter year-over-year revenue growth also benefited from an easy compare of about $10 million revenue carryover to Q1 of 2020 related to the December 2019 cyber attack. On a geographic basis, we experienced currency-neutral growth across all three regions. We saw strong demand for products associated with COVID-19 testing and related research. Generally, we are seeing most academic and diagnostics labs now running between 70% and 90% capacity, which is similar to what we saw in Q3. We estimate that COVID-19-related sales were about $132 million in the quarter. Sales of Life Science Group in the fourth quarter of 2020 were $428.5 million compared to $242 million in Q4 of 2019, which is a 77.1% increase on a reported basis and a 73.9% increase on a currency-neutral basis. It was driven by our PCR product lines as well as strong performance in the biopharma segment. The fourth quarter revenue also included a $32 million damages award related to intellectual property litigation. Excluding the $32 million damages award, the currency-neutral revenue growth was 60.9%. The year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter was across all of the life science key product areas. Process media, which can fluctuate on a quarterly basis, saw strong double-digit year-over-year growth in the quarter over the same quarter last year. Excluding process media sales and the $32 million damages award, the underlying life science business grew 64.6% on a currency-neutral basis versus Q4 of 2019. Growth in the overall life science segment was offset by continued softness in academic research demand as these labs around the globe are still operating below capacity. However, we believe that some of the demand was associated with larger-than-normal end-of-year budget release. On a geographic basis, life science currency-neutral year-over-year sales grew across all regions. Last month, the FDA granted an EUA for our COVID qPCR assay kit, which runs on Bio-Rad's existing CFX PCR platforms as well as qPCR systems from other providers. The assay kit is a multiplex test that targets two separate regions in the viral genome to ensure greater sensitivity and tolerance to potential mutations. In addition, earlier today, we received an EUA approval from the FDA for COVID, flu A, and flu B qPCR syndromic multiplex test. These tests, which allow discrimination between each of the three different viruses, also run on Bio-Rad's CFX PCR platforms as well as qPCR systems from other providers. Sales of clinical diagnostics products in the fourth quarter were $359.6 million compared to $379 million in Q4 of 2019, which is a 5.1% decline on a reported basis and a 6.6% decline on a currency-neutral basis. During the fourth quarter, strength in our quality controls products was offset by weakness across the rest of the diagnostics portfolio. Resurgence of COVID cases during the fourth quarter did impact the recovery of routine testing trends and elective surgeries. On a geographic basis, the diagnostics group was relatively flat in the Americas but posted declines in the other regions. The reported gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 58.3% on a GAAP basis and compares to 52.9% in Q4 of 2019. The current quarter gross margin benefited mainly from better product mix, lower service cost, higher manufacturing utilization, as well as $23 million gross margin benefit associated with a 10x Genomics damages award. Amortization related to prior acquisitions recorded in cost of goods sold was $4.6 million compared to $4.5 million in Q4 of 2019. SG&A expenses for Q4 of 2020 were $219.1 million or 27.7% of sales compared to $214.2 million or 34.3% in Q4 of 2019. The year-over-year SG&A expenses benefited from ongoing cost savings initiatives and lower discretionary expenses and was offset somewhat by higher employee-related expenses. Total amortization expense related to acquisitions recorded in SG&A for the quarter was $2.4 million versus $2.1 million in Q4 of 2019. Research and development expense in Q4 was $65.8 million or 8.3% of sales compared to $57.1 million or 9.1% of sales in Q4 of 2019. Q4 operating income was $175.2 million or 22.2% of sales compared to $59.2 million or 9.5% of sales in Q4 of 2019. Looking below the operating line, the change in fair market value of equity securities holdings added $904 million of income to the reported results, and this is substantially related to holdings of the shares of Sartorius AG. During the quarter, interest and other income resulted in a net expense of $1 million compared to $5.8 million of expense last year. Our GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 22.2% compared to 20.9% for the same period in 2019. Our GAAP tax rate in 2020 and 2019 were affected by the large unrealized gains in equity securities. In addition, the 2019 tax rate included a discrete benefit which allowed us to apply higher foreign tax credits. Reported net income for the fourth quarter was $839.1 million, and diluted earnings per share were $27.81. This is an increase from last year, and is again substantially related to changes in the valuation of the Sartorius holdings. Moving on to the fourth quarter non-GAAP results. Looking at the results on a non-GAAP basis, we have excluded certain atypical and unique items that impacted both the gross and operating margins as well as other income. These items are detailed in the reconciliation table in the press release. Looking at the non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter, in sales, we have excluded the $32 million damages award. In cost of goods sold, we have excluded $8.7 million IP license cost associated with the damages award, $4.6 million of amortization of purchased intangibles, and a small restructuring benefit. These exclusions moved the gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 to a non-GAAP gross margin of 58.2% versus 54.1% in Q4 of 2019. Non-GAAP SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2020 was 28.2% versus 31.7% in Q4 of 2019. In SG&A, on a non-GAAP basis, we have excluded amortization of purchased intangibles of $2.4 million, legal-related expenses of $6.3 million, and restructuring and acquisition-related benefits of $3.1 million. Non-GAAP R&D expense in the fourth quarter of 2020 was 8.7% versus 8.2% in Q4 of 2019. In R&D, on a non-GAAP basis, we have excluded a small restructuring benefit. The cumulative sum of these non-GAAP adjustments resulted in moving the quarterly operating margin from 22.2% on a GAAP basis to 21.4% on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP operating margin compares to a non-GAAP operating margin in Q4 of 2019 of 14.3%. We have also excluded certain items below the operating line, which are the increase in value of the Sartorius equity holdings of $904.3 million, $2.1 million associated with venture investments, and $3 million of interest income associated with a 10x damages award. Our non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 24.3% compared to 17.7% in 2019. The non-GAAP tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2019 was lower compared to 2020 due to a discrete benefit which enabled us to apply higher foreign tax credits. And finally, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $121 million or $4.01 diluted earnings per share compared to $70 million and $2.32 per share in Q4 of 2019. Moving on to the full year results. Net sales for the full year of 2020 were $2.546 billion on a reported basis. Excluding the 10x damages award of $32 million, sales were $2.514 billion, which is 8.9% growth on a currency-neutral basis. We estimate that COVID-19-related sales were about $313 million. Sales of Life Science Group for 2020 were $1.2318 billion. Excluding the 10x damages award of $32 million, the year-over-year growth was 35% on a currency-neutral basis. The majority of the year-over-year growth was driven by our core PCR products, Droplet Digital PCR, and process media. On a geographic basis, Life Science currency-neutral full year-over-year sales grew across all three regions. Sales of clinical diagnostics products for 2020 were $1.305 billion, which is down 7.1% on a currency-neutral basis. On a full year basis, clinical labs have seen a significant negative impact of the pandemic, which was slightly offset by growth within quality controls. On a geographic basis, clinical diagnostics full year-over-year sales saw declines across all regions. The full year non-GAAP gross margin was 56.9% compared to 55% in 2019. The year-over-year margin increase was driven mainly by product mix and manufacturing efficiencies, which was somewhat offset by higher logistics cost. Full year non-GAAP SG&A was 30.9% compared to 34.4% in 2019. The lower SG&A was driven by our ongoing cost savings initiatives and lower discretionary expenses, offset somewhat by higher employee-related expenses. Full year non-GAAP R&D was 9.1% versus 8.5% in 2019, and full year non-GAAP operating income was 17% compared to 12% in 2019. Lastly, the non-GAAP effective tax rate for the full year of 2020 was 24% compared to 24.1% in 2019. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for 2020 was consistent with our guidance of 24%. Moving on to the balance sheet. Total cash and short-term investments at the end of 2020 was $997 million compared to $1.120 billion at the end of 2019 and $1.160 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2020. In December, we repaid the $425 million of outstanding senior notes. Year-end inventory decreased by about $18 million from the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in inventory was driven by higher demand for COVID-19-related products. During the fourth quarter, we did not purchase any shares of our stock. We had a total of $273 million available for potential share buybacks. Full year share buybacks was about 292,000 shares for $100 million. In 2019, we purchased about 88,000 shares of our stock for $28 million. For the fourth quarter of 2020, net cash generated from operating activities was $284.7 million, which compares to $159.8 million in Q4 of 2019. For the full year of 2020, net cash generated from operations was $575.3 million versus $457.9 million in 2019. The Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 25.2% of sales. The Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 of 2019 was 18.7%. Full year adjusted EBITDA included the Sartorius dividend was $546.4 million or about 21.7% compared to 17.5% in 2019. Net capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $39.2 million, and full year CapEx spend was $98.9 million. Depreciation and amortization for the fourth quarter was $36.2 million and $138.1 million for the full year. In December, we communicated our long-range plan. We project revenues to grow to an overall range of $2.75-$2.85 billion by the end of 2023. This growth will be driven by Droplet Digital PCR, single-cell applications, clinical diagnostics, bio production, and increasing growth in biopharma customers. We expect non-GAAP gross margin in 2023 to land in a range of 57%-57.5%. We expect this positive increase to come from footprint optimization and better capacity utilization. Adjusted EBITDA margin should be in the range of 23% and 24% based on top-line growth, productivity improvements, and SG&A leverage. Last week, we initiated a strategy-driven restructuring plan to improve operating performance as part of our 2023 goals. The restructuring plan primarily impacts our operations in Europe and includes the elimination of certain positions, the consolidation of certain functions, and the relocation of certain manufacturing operations from Europe to Asia. The restructuring plan is expected to eliminate a total of approximately 530 positions, approximately 200 positions in manufacturing, and 330 positions across our SG&A and R&D functions, and subsequently creation of a total of about 325 new positions, approximately 100 new positions in manufacturing, and 225 new positions across SG&A and R&D functions. The restructuring plan will be implemented in phases over the next two years. As a result of this restructuring plan, we expect to incur between approximately $125 and $130 million in total cost, which we anticipate will consist of approximately $86 million cash expenditures in the form of one-time termination benefits to the affected employees, approximately $19 million in capital expenses associated with the restructuring plan, and about $20-$25 million in one-time transition cost. We anticipate about $80-$90 million of restructuring charges related to this restructuring plan will be recorded in the first quarter of 2021, with the balance recorded by the end of 2022. Moving on to the non-GAAP guidance for 2021. While we are pleased with the overall performance in 2020, we continue to be uncertain about the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, although we assume a gradual return to pre-pandemic activity levels and normalized business mix. We are guiding a currency-neutral revenue growth in 2021 to be between 4.5% and 5%. We estimate about 10%-11% revenue growth for the diagnostics group. The Life Science Group year-over-year revenue is expected to be about flat, as we project the COVID-related sales in 2021 to be about half versus 2020. We continue to assume that we will experience quarterly revenue fluctuations for process media, although we estimate an overall double-digit growth for the full year. Full year non-GAAP gross margin is projected between 56.2% and 56.5%, and full year non-GAAP operating margin to be between 16% and 16.5%. We estimate the non-GAAP full year tax rate to be between 24% and 25%. CapEx is projected between $120 and $130 million, and full year Adjusted EBITDA margin of about 21%. And now I'll turn the call to Norman for a few comments. Okay. Great. Thanks, Ilan. I don't really have a lot to add. I do think companies would say that 2020 is certainly one for the history books. I think as I think back on the year, and I think as Andy alluded to in the beginning, it was certainly an all-out effort this last year to manage a myriad of challenges, enough to lose sight of where we're headed in the longer term. I think as well, as Ilan pointed out, the COVID-related revenues are expected to moderate in 2021, but I do feel that there is still a big question of when the pandemic will come under control. So in the meantime, we'll continue to work on our core initiatives to allow us to make progress over the next few years. And certainly, we appreciate your continued interest in Bio-Rad. So thank you. Thank you, Norman. Operator, we will now open the line to take your questions. Yes, sir. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one on your telephone. Again, that's star one on your touch-tone telephone to ask a question. To withdraw your question, press the pound key. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Dan Leonard of Wells Fargo. Your question, please. Great. So, my first question: can you help frame the restructuring announcement? What's the annual savings target you hope to achieve when the dust settles, and how would you characterize the efforts? Is it part of an ongoing journey, or is this the big bang on the path to 2023 with the balance of the margin left coming from fixed cost leverage? I'll start, and Andy probably will chime in, Dan. Thanks for the question. Generally speaking, Dan, it's part of our three-year trajectory that we have communicated back in December. This restructuring will go through the end of next year, so it's a two-year initiative to complete it, and basically, everything is kind of baked in all the three-year kind of projections that we provided in order to achieve our 2023 goals. It's not necessarily a one big bang. I mean, there are different phases to this plan, and again, it will take throughout the next two years. Andy, I don't know if. Yeah. I don't have anything material to add to that. I mean, we're working on other things as well, of course, continually, but it is a major and material restructuring. Okay. And then just my follow-up. I mean, could you elaborate on performance in your clinical segment? It does seem like the quarter-on-quarter weakening in the organic growth rate seems a bit discordant with what some of the market are saying, some of your customers are saying. So could you elaborate further on what you think the drivers of that were, either from a product mix standpoint or a regional standpoint? Any color would be helpful. And then, of course, what would improve that? Sure. Dara, do you want to take that one? Sure. So really, it is a story of product mix and region. So at a macro level, we're about 80%-90% of pre-COVID levels. And in North America, we're very close to pre-COVID performance. The real material dynamic is related to Europe, and the step-up in restrictions and lockdowns that we saw in Q4 had a pretty big impact on elective surgeries. So I would say blood typing is a real story there in Europe as an area that still is kind of getting back to pre-COVID kind of routine levels. And then in China as well, we saw a shift, a little bit of a shift from typical wellness programs to COVID-related infectious disease programs. So that moderated a bit the diabetes business. So it kind of puts and takes regionally, puts and takes within different product lines. But certainly, things continue to move in the right direction with North America being kind of the bright spot there. Okay. Thanks for the color. Thank you, Dan. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Brandon Couillard of Jefferies. Your line is open. Hey, thanks. Good afternoon. Ilan, in terms of the 2021 top-line outlook, pretty encouraging given some of the comps you're lapping and kind of the roll-off of these COVID tailwinds. Can you help us understand some of the upside and downside variables that you're thinking about? And as far as the recovery in diagnostics, should we anticipate that to mostly come in the back half of the year? Any color you can help us with in terms of the phasing of organic growth overall sort of moving through the year? Yeah. Brandon, I'll try and put a bit more color around that. So yeah, obviously, a big step back on the COVID sales anticipated as we indicated, but core clinical diagnostics are continuing the recovery trend that Dara talked about, but not until second half do we get back to full normal consumption in our view. The first half has still got some COVID effect. We're guided to roughly half of last year for COVID sales. And we expect the majority of that to be in the first half of the year. But below that, recovery in the core research, life science research products, and a good recovery in the clinical diagnostics franchise as the year progresses. In terms of your new COVID PCR tests, to what extent, if at all, have you baked in any incremental contribution from those tests? Could you talk about your manufacturing capacity on a monthly basis and remind us approximately how big is your global PCR installed base? So I'm going to ask Annette if she'd like to comment, and then I might add on that. Sure. We spent a lot of the year scaling manufacture to meet demand both for our platforms and other reagents and consumables. And I think we're in a pretty good place right now to meet customer demand across all of our PCR products. So that's good news for us and our customers. We have been selling qPCR products for well over a decade, and there are thousands and thousands and thousands of products out there. And we certainly sold an awful lot this year, Brandon. So we're going to be, as you might imagine, making sure we approach those customers with our new test options, certainly as they may need to scale or have need for reliable second sources. Thanks, Annette. And I'd say, Brandon, thinking about the numbers, we've baked in a modest contribution within our COVID-related sales since we know we're late. Our strategy is generally second source to the install base. And so it's a modest contribution as we look at our year. Gotcha. Maybe a follow-up for you, Annette. On the ddPCR business, can you give us a sense of just how fast overall that business is growing, maybe including or ex-COVID? And are you pushing hard enough into diagnostics specifically? I mean, I know you've got one FDA-approved test on the platform. Are any other kits in development that could help accelerate uptake in that setting? That's a great question, so you probably know that we talk about strong double-digit growth pretty much at every earnings release from that product area, and we continue to anticipate that in the future. The market in the research market is still growing strongly. The biopharma discovery and production markets are growing strongly, and certainly, you can imagine that we are investing quite significantly, I think, in moving into diagnostics with our partitioning platforms, so I think stay tuned for what's to come there. Okay. Maybe one more for Norman. The Sartorius stake is worth about $12 billion now, give or take. That's about 65% of your equity value. Implied valuation on your stocks, stripping that out, is still pretty low. Is there any sense of urgency at the board level to monetize the stake? Is the board considering any strategic alternatives such as a tax-free spin? If not, why not? And any update to share in terms of what you referred to on the third-quarter call as far as potentially being deemed an investment entity in your planning strategies as opposed to address that? Thank you. We certainly haven't, at the board level, talked about a tax-free spend. As we've said in the past, we continue to see that as a long-term investment. And I think we've got seven or eight years to go on the trust. Obviously, they continue to do very well. And so that's kind of where we are today. As you know, we've always considered it to be a strategic investment, but obviously, if something more strategic comes along, there is the possibility to liquidate that position. And Brandon, regarding the question about the investment, we continue to work to resolve it. And as we mentioned in the last quarter, it probably will take a few more quarters for us to resolve this item. Great. I'll hop back in with you. Thank you. Thanks, Brandon. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Patrick Donnelly of Citi. Your line is open. Hey, thanks for taking the questions, guys. Norman, maybe what we got you staying on that topic there with Sartorius is in the past quarters and past meetings we've had with you, there's been some willingness to kind of address larger deals, and it felt like maybe you were kind of wanting to do something larger. It sounds like now, and correct me if I'm wrong, maybe softening a little bit on that and kind of happy with where Sartorius is. Can you just talk about, I guess, the M&A landscape, how you guys are feeling on the capital deployment side? And yeah, I would just be curious to hear your perspective on the opportunities out there. Yeah. So I think like many of our peers, we do continue to look for those products and technologies to add to our portfolio. I think, as you know, and we've said more recently, we're especially interested in the idea of doing something larger and maybe even transformational. But of course, as you know, these larger transformational opportunities are few and far between. But we continue to pursue the opportunities that come our way. Understood. Okay. And then, Ilan, maybe for you to sum up some of the COVID expectations for 2021, certainly appreciate the, call it, half of what it was in 2020. At the same time, Norm kind of touched on at the end of the prepared remarks there. It's very uncertain how this whole thing will play out. The pandemic doesn't seem to be going anywhere, unfortunately. So can you just talk about, I guess, the conservatism layered in here? Obviously, 4Q came in well above what you guys were expecting on COVID. So maybe just talk through, I guess, how you guys planned out that number and then the pacing throughout the year. Are you kind of projecting a big tail off in the back half as the pandemic hopefully subsides? Just wanted to get a full understanding there. Sure. Thank you, Patrick. Generally speaking, you're right. I mean, we took into account what we project and what we believe that the second half of the year will kind of normalize, and we will see the gradual improvement in diagnostics and the tailwind from the COVID-related sales will start to tail off. So the way that if you think about kind of calendarizing the first half in our projection, we will benefit way more from the COVID-related relative to the second half. That's the way we think about it. And we'll have to see how everything will shape up. But hopefully, with the vaccines, etc., the second half will normalize. Yep. Sure. And then one for Annette, just on the wastewater opportunity. Certainly, it's getting a little more attention. It feels like momentum is picking up there. Do you have any better sense of how big this market could be for you guys in the near term? And then maybe just talk about the uptake you saw at 4Q and then kind of expectations here in the near term. Sure. This is a brand new market, obviously, and kind of rapidly developing and emerging. I think that our best estimates are probably somewhere up to $200 million over the next several years, say four to five years. We're looking closely at it right now. Most of the demand is North America and U.S.-based, but we are certainly working outside the U.S. to try and get attention to the utility of that kind of surveillance. We are about to launch an application kit that will support the surveillance, and we'll add variants to that as we can. So we're taking a good run at making sure that we can supply the market with products that'll help. Okay. Great. And then just a quick housekeeping one for you, Andy. Appreciate you saying the PCR test is a modest benefit. Just got a couple of investor questions in terms of what modest means. Should we think about $10 million, $20 million, or just any ballpark would really help in terms of the dollar amount? Yeah. I think you should be roughly in that range. And as I said, our upside was driven predominantly by the instrument placements. And so we recognize we weren't in a molecular diagnostic segment. This is coming late, and so we've got more, I think, well-reasoned aspirations on those products. Understood. Appreciate all the color, guys. Thank you. Thank you, Brandon. Thank you. Once again, to ask a question, please press star one on your touch-tone telephone. Again, that's star one on your touch-tone telephone to ask a question. Our next question comes from the line of Jack Meehan of Nephron Research. Your question, please. Thanks. Good afternoon. I was hoping you could give a little bit more color on the bioprocessing business for the year. Sounds like from the commentary, you ended on a pretty strong note. Was there anything you could call out in terms of demand, and maybe did any of the COVID vaccines help contribute to that? Annette, do you want to take that one? Sure. Well, certainly, all of the vaccine developers are already our customers in this area. But this is a business that, while there are some fluctuations quarter over to quarter, overall has been delivering strong double-digit growth. And primarily, it's because of the markets that we address with these products, the biologic drug development, and now vaccine development and production. So I can't say that the result was primarily because of uptake from vaccine manufacturers, although we're there in all those accounts. The business is strong and growing. Great. And then on the litigation award that you recognized in the quarter, does that cover the period 2015 through 2018? What about 2019 through 2020, and how are you going to account for this kind of on a go-forward basis? Yep. Well. Go ahead, Annette. Okay. I was just going to say we still have open litigation, and we don't really discuss that in advance, but perhaps Ilan has something to add about how we're going to treat it. Yeah. You're absolutely right. So we don't anticipate to book anything additional so long as the litigation is still on. Got it. I know when you laid out the new targets, one of the growth drivers you've talked about is single-cell. Andy or Annette, I was wondering if you'd just give us an update on some of the work you're doing there and any updates we can maybe expect in terms of products and from Celsee this year? Sure. It's still early. We haven't even had a year yet post-acquisition. And certainly, it was an unusual time to acquire a startup. We are investing, I think, significantly in that area in our Celsee acquisition. And our goal is to put compelling tools for single-cell analysis that really provide best-in-class biological insights. And we think towards the latter part of this year, you're going to start seeing some of those products roll out the door. Great. And maybe just one clean-up. Can you just confirm in terms of the COVID testing tailwinds, are you going to be booking that entirely on the life science side, or will any of the test kits be reported in diagnostics in 2021? I mean, it's predominantly still life science-based. If there's any pickup, we've got the serology test on the diagnostic side. It's very, very small. We've got some antigen-based sales, but they'll get reported in clinical if they become material contributors. Thank you. Thank you, Jack. Thank you. Our next question is a follow-up from Brandon Couillard of J efferies. Your line is open. Great. Thanks. In terms of to Ilan or Annette, in terms of the COVID benefit in the fourth quarter, was all of that PCR instrumentation and was ddPCR a big part of the sequential uptick? Brandon, most of it was associated with our qPCR products. Certainly, there was some upside from wastewater in Q4, but mostly we were getting kind of organic growth out of the droplet digital PCR business. And by the fourth quarter, we had really completed scale-up of all of our manufacturing for the platform. So that helped a lot. Okay. And then Ilan, the FX rate has obviously moved more favorably recently. Do you have a general sense of what currency should add to the top line in 2021, and then maybe a sense of how accretive that might be to the year-over-year margin expansion? Yeah. It's a great question, Brandon. It was probably about 2% for 2020. So when you think about 2021, I mean, with the projection that the dollar will continue to weaken, so obviously, it does contribute to the top line. There is obviously some negative impact on the operating expenses as well as on the manufacturing, right? I mean, net-net, there is still some fall-through, but I don't have here kind of specific number to call out. But for sure, on the top line, it is a contributor. Gotcha. And then the last one for me, are you still planning to host some type of analyst day event in the first half of the year? We do. We do plan to host it sometime later this year. Yeah. We have to kind of find the right timing. I mean, hopefully, again, with vaccines, everything will normalize. So that would be a great opportunity. Very good. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. At this time, I'd like to turn the call back over to Ilan Daskal for closing remarks. Sir? Thank you. Okay, so we appreciate you joining the call today and your interest in Bio-Rad, and we look forward to connecting soon. Thank you, everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
