NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

**1. Nature of Operations** 

Azenta, Inc. ("Azenta", or the "Company") is a leading global provider of biological and chemical compound sample exploration and management solutions for the life sciences industry. The Company entered the life sciences market in 2011, leveraging its in-house precision automation and cryogenics capabilities that it was then applying in the semiconductor manufacturing market. This led the Company to develop and provide solutions for automated ultra-cold storage. Since then, the Company has expanded its life sciences offerings through internal investments and a series of acquisitions. The Company supports its customers from research and clinical development to commercialization with its sample management and automated storage, as well as genomic services expertise to help its customers bring impactful therapies to market faster. The Company understands the importance of sample integrity and offers a broad portfolio of products and services supporting customers at every stage of the life cycle of samples, including procurement, automated storage systems, genomic services and a multitude of sample consumables, informatics and data software, and sample repository services. The Company's expertise, global footprint, and leadership positions enable it to be a trusted global partner to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences research institutions.

***Discontinued Operations***

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, following approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company publicly announced its plan to sell the B Medical Systems business. The B Medical Systems business operates as a separate business unit within the Company and focuses on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations.

On December 23, 2025, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") with Thelema S.À R.L. ("Thelema") for the sale of the B Medical Systems business. In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, Thelema is acquiring the B Medical Systems business for $63.0 million. Thelema has deposited $9.0 million with the Company and was expected to pay the remaining $54.0 million on or before March 31, 2026.

On March 27, 2026, the Company was informed by Thelema that it had not yet secured the financing required to complete the transaction and, solely as a result of the non-satisfaction of that financing condition, the transaction did not close by March 31, 2026. Thelema indicated that it requires additional time to complete its financing arrangements. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including Thelema's securing of the required financing, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on a revised timeline or at all. As of the issuance date of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Share Purchase Agreement remains in effect and has not been amended. The Company remains committed to the plan and is actively working toward closing the transaction.

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems business met the "held for sale" criteria and "discontinued operations" criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205, *Presentation of Financial Statements* ("FASB ASC 205*"*) as of November 12, 2024. Results related to the B Medical Systems business are included within discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, *Discontinued Operations* for further information about the discontinued business. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the B Medical Systems business in accordance with FASB ASC 205. The discussion in these notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated, relate solely to the Company's continuing operations.

Also included in discontinued operations is a loss contingency related to the Company's sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business to Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) in July 2019. The Company accrued a liability for the loss contingency and had an accrued liability of $2.1 million as of March 31, 2026.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

***Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all entities where it has a controlling financial interest and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying year-end balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 was derived from audited, consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited, consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, the accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 4, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K").

***Correction of An Immaterial Error***

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company identified immaterial errors related to overstatement of cost of goods sold primarily in the first quarter of 2026. The Company evaluated the errors in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, "Materiality," codified in ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("ASC 250") and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements," and concluded that the errors were not material to the current or any previously issued financial statements and as such, the Company recorded the correction of these errors in the current period, which resulted in a $2.8 million reduction of cost of goods sold with an offset to inventory and accounts payable.

***Revisions to Previously Issued Financial Statements***

As previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of its fiscal year 2025 consolidated financial statements, the Company identified errors in its consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as for interim periods within those years and the first three quarters and year-to-date periods within fiscal year 2025. Specifically, the Company's historical classification of certain operating expenses was misclassified between cost of revenue and operating expenses in its Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company revised the previously issued financial statements for those periods to correct this error. Additionally, the Company corrected other previously identified immaterial misstatements, including (i) an understatement of the loss from discontinued operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2025, (ii) the effects of exchange rate changes on the Company's foreign denominated restricted cash for periods within fiscal 2024, and (iii) certain other immaterial prior period errors. Information regarding the impact of the revision to the Company's previously issued Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash flows and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for periods within fiscal 2025 is included in Note 20, *Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Quarterly Information* in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The applicable accompanying notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have also been revised for the impact of these adjustments.

The Company assessed the effect of the errors on prior periods under the guidance of ASC 250. Based on its assessment, the Company determined that the errors were not material to any previously issued financial statements.

The following table summarizes the impact of the revisions in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2025 (in thousands, except per share data):

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Although these estimates are based on the Company's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are associated with recording accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets other than goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative financial instruments, deferred income taxes, warranty obligations, revenue over time, stock-based compensation expense, contingent consideration, and other accounts. The Company assesses the estimates on an ongoing basis and records changes in estimates in the period they occur and become known.

***Foreign Currency Translation***

Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) generated from the settlement and remeasurement of these transactions are recognized in earnings and presented within "Other income" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses were $0.6 million and gains were $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses were $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements***

In March 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740*): *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*. The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company will adopt this standard for the year ended September 30, 2026. The adoption of this standard will enhance the Company's annual income tax disclosures but will not have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03*, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.* The ASU requires companies to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, by relevant expense caption on the statement of operations. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01*, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures*, to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU *2025-06, Intangibles* – *Goodwill and Other* – *Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350*-*40*): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The ASU may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

**3. Discontinued Operations**

***Disposition of B Medical Systems Business***

On December 23, 2025, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Thelema for the sale of the B Medical Systems business. Thelema is a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg. The transaction is with a related party, as a current Vice President of the Company and Chief Executive Officer of the B Medical Systems business is Thelema's majority owner. The terms of the Share Purchase Agreement were negotiated through a competitive auction process.

Thelema deposited $9.0 million with the Company upon entering into the Share Purchase Agreement and was expected to pay the remaining $54.0 million on or before March 31, 2026. On March 27, 2026, the Company was informed by Thelema that it had not yet secured the financing required to complete the transaction and, solely as a result of the non-satisfaction of that financing condition, the transaction did not close by March 31, 2026. As a result of Thelema's failure to satisfy the financing condition by March 31, 2026, the Company or Thelema may terminate the Share Purchase Agreement, in which case the Company will retain $5.0 million from the $9.0 million deposit as a break-up fee. The $9.0 million deposit is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" as of March 31, 2026.

The Company measured the B Medical Systems business at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell at each reporting period. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $9.7 million of loss on assets held for sale based on the purchase price pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement less estimated costs to sell. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an additional $6.3 million of loss on assets held for sale due to an increase in the carrying value of the B Medical Systems business as of March 31, 2026. The loss on assets

***Disposition of Semiconductor Business***

As disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company maintained an accrual of $2.1 million as of September 30, 2025 in relation to a dispute with Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group), to whom the Company sold its semiconductor cryogenics business in 2019. No additional liability for this dispute was accrued during the six months ended March 31, 2026, and the status of that dispute has not changed. The Company's motion to dismiss Edwards Vacuum LLC's lawsuit filed on September 12, 2025 remains pending. As there is potential for unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment of the dispute will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and/or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.

**4. Business Combination**

On March 4, 2026, the Company acquired UK Biocentre Limited ("UK Biocentre"), for a purchase price of approximately $27.5 million, net of cash acquired, including the $2.5 million estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of the measurement date. UK Biocentre is a provider of sample management, sample storage and high-

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

throughput sample processing services in the United Kingdom. The Company paid a total cash purchase price of $11.0 million, as adjusted for cash acquired.

Components of the purchase price as set forth below (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Purchase Price** | **Fair Value** |
| Cash paid at closing | $14455 |
| Transaction bonus paid on March 27, 2026 | 1329 |
| Preexisting contractual liability settlement | 13841 |
| Transaction expenses | 133 |
| Contingent consideration | 2483 |
|  | $32241 |
| UK Biocentre cash balance at closing | $4767 |
| Purchase price, net of cash acquired | $27474 |
| Cash paid, net of cash acquired | $11017 |

---

The Company had a preexisting contractual relationship with UK Biocentre which was settled as part of the business combination. As a result, the Company recognized $3.9 million of non-cash gain from the settlement, which is included in "Other income, net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The settlement of a $13.8 million payable to the Company under this preexisting contractual relationship is included in the $27.5 million purchase price.

UK Biocentre is eligible to receive a contingent cash payment of $2.5 million if and when a UK Biocentre contract with one of its key customers is renewed no later than September 28, 2028. Based on a long-term partnership and the customer's reliance on specialized services provided by UK Biocentre, the Company determined that the contract renewal is highly probable. Pursuant to ASC 805, *Business Combinations* ("ASC 805"), the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to equal the $2.5 million payment amount and recorded a $2.5 million liability within "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026. Each quarter, the Company is required to remeasure the fair value of this liability as assumptions change over time and any resulting adjustments in the fair value of this liability will be recorded in "Operating expenses" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initial fair value measurement of the contingent consideration was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy described further in Note 2, *Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 13, *Fair Value Measurements* below.

The purchase price was allocated to UK Biocentre's tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of March 4, 2026, as set forth below (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Purchase Price Allocation** | **Fair Value** |
| Accounts Receivable | $2053 |
| Inventory | 846 |
| Other assets | 795 |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | 3176 |
| Property and Equipment | 22263 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Trademarks | 1039 |
| Accounts Payable | (930) |
| Accruals | (3708) |
| Operating lease liabilities | (3176) |
| Goodwill | 5116 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total purchase price, net of cash acquired | $27474 |

---

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

In performing the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, and historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of UK Biocentre's business. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities. As part of the purchase price allocations, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets were trademarks. The fair value of the intangible asset was estimated using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method for trademarks. The cash flows used in this estimate were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rate applied was benchmarked to the implied rate of return from the transaction and the weighted average cost of capital. The estimated useful life of trademarks is 7 years. The intangible assets acquired are expected to be amortized over the estimated useful life that approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized. The calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The goodwill recorded in connection with the transaction largely reflects the expansion of Sample Repository Services in Europe. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company did not present pro forma financial information for its consolidated results of operations for the acquisition because such results are immaterial. UK Biocentre's results of operations are reported in the Company's Sample Management Solutions ("SMS") segment from the date of acquisition.

**5. Marketable Securities** 

The Company had sales and maturities of marketable securities of $123.8 million and $59.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company had sales and maturities of marketable securities of $266.5 million and $184.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. There were immaterial realized gains or losses in each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 on sales and maturities of marketable securities.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and the fair value, including accrued interest receivable as well as unrealized gains (losses) on the Company's short-term and long-term marketable securities as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because the security issuers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Unrealized gains and losses from fixed-income securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent impairments based on the evaluation of the available evidence.

**6. Derivative Instruments** 

The Company has transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity. Most of these transactions carry foreign exchange risk in Germany, the United Kingdom and China. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations.

The fair values of the foreign exchange contracts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities". Foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities are measured and reported at fair value based on observable market inputs and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described further in Note 2*, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 13*, Fair Value Measurements* below due to a lack of an active market for these contracts.

***Hedging Activities***

On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged $76.0 million for €70.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.44%. The Company designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of its Euro denominated subsidiaries, which requires an exchange at maturity of the notional amounts. At the maturity of the cross currency-swap on February 3, 2025, the Company delivered a notional amount of €70.0 million and received a notional amount of $73.0 million at a Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.0419, which included a gain of $3.0 million.

On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into another cross-currency swap agreement to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged $260.0 million for €250.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.80%. The Company designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of its Euro denominated subsidiaries. The maturity date of the agreement was extended from February 2, 2026 to February 2, 2028 with a weighted average interest rate of 0.6%.

The unrealized losses of the cross-currency swaps were $29.6 million and $33.4 million and are recorded within a "Derivative liability" as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The outstanding cross-currency swap is marked to market at each reporting period, representing the fair value of the cross-currency swap, any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cross-currency swap is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 2*, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 13*, Fair Value Measurements* below.

Interest earned on the cross-currency swaps is recorded within "Interest income, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded interest income of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, on these instruments. For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded interest income of $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, on these instruments.

**7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets** 

The Company conducts an impairment assessment annually on April 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company assessed several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of its reporting units, including updates to forecasted cash flows, increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, and a sustained decline in its stock price. The Company concluded it was more likely than not the fair value of each of the SMS and Multiomics reporting units was less than their respective carrying amounts due to the combined impact of declining stock price and revised forecasts. As a result, the Company completed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for its reporting units in accordance with ASC 350, *Intangibles – Goodwill* ("ASC 350") as of March 31, 2026.

For the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis performed, the Company compared the estimated fair values of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. The estimated fair value for each reporting unit was derived using the income approach and the market approach, weighted at 50% each as of March 31, 2026. The Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") Method was used in the income approach which reflected the Company's assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, forecasted gross profit margins, operating expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates, terminal period growth rates, economic and market trends, and other expectations about the anticipated operating results of the SMS and Multiomics reporting units. The guideline company method was used in the market approach and publicly-traded companies in similar lines of business were identified and used in an analysis to estimate the fair value. Under the guideline company method, the Company made significant estimates and assumptions, primarily including the selection of appropriate peer group companies, control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the Company competes, and specific valuation multiples utilized to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. Although the Company determined that estimates and assumptions used in the income approach and the market approach were reasonable, actual results may vary significantly and may expose it to material impairment charges in the future.

In the event the performance of any of the reporting units does not meet management expectations in the future, the Company experiences a prolonged macroeconomic or market downturn, or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions used in the analysis used to estimate fair value, the Company may be required to perform additional impairment analyses which could result in one or more additional impairment charges, any one of which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Based on the results of the Company's quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts of its Multiomics and SMS reporting units exceeded their respective fair values, resulting in non-cash impairment charges of $112.4 million for Multiomics and $36.6 million for SMS. The total goodwill impairment charge of $149.1

million was recorded within "Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets" in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Prior to the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company tested the recoverability of long-lived assets and other assets of the SMS and Multiomics reporting units and concluded that such assets were not impaired as of March 31, 2026.

The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating and reportable segment since September 30, 2025 (in thousands).

***Contract Balances***

*Accounts Receivable, Net.* Accounts receivable represents rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company, when payment is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Accounts receivable do not bear interest and are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses representing its best estimate of probable credit losses related to its existing accounts receivable and their net realizable value. The Company determines the allowance for expected credit losses based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of customer credit worthiness, the age of the outstanding receivables, economic trends, historical experience, and other information through the payment periods. Accounts receivable, net were $131.3 million and $142.2 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

*Contract Assets.* Contract assets represent rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company and payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. These amounts typically relate to contracts where the right to invoice the customer is not present until completion of the contract or the achievement of specified milestones and the value of the products or services transferred exceed this constraint. Contract assets are classified as current as they are expected to convert to cash within one year. Contract asset balances which are included within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, were $27.5 million and $37.3 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Revenue of $15.8 million and $19.8 million recognized, respectively, during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 contributed to the contract asset balances at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. As part of the preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company corrected the previously disclosed amount of revenue contributed to the contract asset balance from $29.2 million to $19.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and from 49.4 million to $30.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

*Contract Liabilities.* Contract liabilities represent the Company's obligation to transfer products or services to a customer for which consideration has been received, or for which an amount of consideration is due from the customer. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis at the contract level, depending on the contract's position at the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities are included within "Deferred revenue" and "Other long-term liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities were $42.6 million and $34.5 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of $15.3 million and $14.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period*.*

*Remaining Performance Obligations.* Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations within contracts with an original expected contract term that is greater than one year and for which fulfillment of the contract has started as of the end of the reporting period. The aggregate amount of transaction consideration allocated to remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026 was $64.4 million. The

Restricted stock units granted with performance goals may also have a required service period following the achievement of all or a portion of the performance goals. The following table reflects restricted stock units granted during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| Performance-based restricted stock units | 244509 | 155689 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total units | 747303 | 558839 |

---

All restricted stock units granted during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 included in the table above relate to continuing operations.

***Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants***

Restricted stock units granted with a required service period typically have three-year vesting schedules in which one-third of awards vest at each annual anniversary of the grant date, subject to the award holders meeting service requirements.

***Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants***

Performance-based restricted stock units are earned based on the achievement of performance criteria established by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The criteria for performance-based awards are weighted and have threshold, target, and maximum performance goals.

In October 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the performance goals associated with the previously issued performance-based restricted stock units for all impacted employees, excluding members of the Company's executive team. The performance goals, as amended, were more reflective of the then current macroeconomic environment and consideration toward employee retention in the competitive life sciences industry. Before the amendment, the original performance goals were not expected to be satisfied. Subsequent to the amendment, vesting became probable based on the forecasted achievement of the amended performance goals. The amendment of these restricted stock units is treated as a modification with the total compensation cost of $2.2 million recognized over the service period through November 2025. The Company recorded expense of $0.2 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 related to the modified awards. The Company recorded expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, related to the modified awards.

These performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted allow participants to earn 100% of restricted stock units if the Company's performance meets or exceeds its target goal for each applicable financial metric, and up to a maximum of 200% if the Company's performance for such metrics meets or exceeds the maximum or stretch goal. Performance below the minimum threshold for each financial metric results in award forfeiture. Performance goals are measured over a three-year period for each year's restricted stock unit awards and at the end of the period to determine the number of restricted stock units earned, if any, by recipients who continue to meet the service requirement. Upon the third anniversary of each year's restricted stock unit awards' grant date, the Company's Board of Directors approves the number of restricted stock units earned for participants who continue to meet the service requirements on the vesting date. For restricted stock unit awards that include vesting based on performance conditions, the fair values are estimated based on the intrinsic values of the awards at the grant date.

In November 2024 and 2025, the Company issued restricted stock unit awards with vesting based on market conditions, which will vest based on achievement of the Company's relative total shareholder return against the defined peer group over a three-year period. The fair values for those grants that include vesting based on market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation included (i) the expected volatility of 48.8% to 50.3% based on the three-year daily historical volatility as measured on the grant date, (ii) risk-free interest rate of 3.49% to 4.27% based on U.S. Treasury constant maturities yields as of the grant date, (iii) correlation assumption based on daily share price changes over three years between the Company and the peer companies measured on the grant date, and (iv) no expected dividend yield. The compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for those grants, which will not be reversed even if the market condition is not satisfied.

***Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and U.S. government backed securities with a maturity of three months or less. They are classified as Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. Investments classified as Level 2 consist of debt securities valued using matrix pricing benchmarking because they are not actively traded and bank certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

***Available-For-Sale Securities***

Available-for-sale securities primarily consist of U.S. government backed securities and highly rated corporate debt securities, which are classified as Level 1. Investments classified as Level 2 consist of debt securities that are valued using matrix pricing and benchmarking because they are not actively traded and bank certificates of deposit.

***Investment in Equity Securities***

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company converted $2.0 million in principal amount of convertible notes it purchased in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 from a private company into 420,000 shares of preferred stock of the private company. As of the conversion, the fair value of the convertible notes was $2.1 million and the conversion did not result in the recognition of additional gain or loss on the convertible notes. The shares of preferred stock are equity securities and within the scope of ASC 321*, Investments - Equity Securities*. The Company elected the measurement alternative for its investment in the shares of preferred stock because the shares do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the investment in the shares of preferred stock was $2.1 million and is included in "Other assets" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value determination is classified as Level 3 based on unobservable inputs which were based on the best information available in the circumstance, including transaction pricing, recent acquisition, and market participant assumptions. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that if changed could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of the assets as of the reporting date.

***Foreign Exchange Contracts & Net Investment Hedge***

The Company's foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities, and its net investment hedge assets and liabilities are measured and reported at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2*.*

***Contingent Consideration***

Contingent consideration is measured and reported at fair value based on the unobservable inputs and classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The amount is contingent based on the renewal of a certain contract of the acquired business no later than September 28, 2028. Please refer to Note 4, *Business Combination* for further detail. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from a change in the underlying inputs will be recognized in results of operations until the arrangement is settled.

***Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis***

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not record any impairments on its financial assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

**14. Income Taxes**

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.3 million and income tax expense of $2.8 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, which were primarily driven by the profit mix in foreign jurisdictions, valuation allowance implications in the United States and state income taxes in jurisdictions where the Company does not have a net operating loss carry over.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.2 million and $11.1 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The tax expense for both periods was primarily driven by a $6.6 million tax expense related to the outside basis difference in a China subsidiary. The tax expense in each period was also driven by the profits in foreign jurisdictions and state income taxes in jurisdictions where the Company does not have a net operating loss carryover.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The Company operates in multiple countries under many legal forms and, as a result, is subject to domestic and foreign tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the profitability of its operations in each

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

jurisdiction on a historic cumulative basis and on a forward-looking basis, while carefully considering carry-forward periods of tax attributes and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance against U.S. net deferred tax assets and against net deferred tax assets on certain foreign tax-paying components.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes in various jurisdictions. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to the Company's interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which it files.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to income tax audits in various global jurisdictions in which it operates. The years subject to examination vary for the United States and international jurisdictions, with the earliest tax year being 2018. Based on the outcome of these examinations or the expiration of statutes of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits could change from those recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently does not anticipate that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest on those benefits will be reduced in the next twelve months. These unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

**15. Net Income (Loss) per Share**

**16. Segment and Geographic Information** 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and to assess performance. The Company's operations are organized and managed by type of products and services and segment information is reported accordingly. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Company's CODM. There have been no operating segments aggregated to arrive at the Company's reportable segments. Revenues for all operating segments include only transactions with unaffiliated customers and include no intersegment revenues. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2*, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,* in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of November 12, 2024, the Company's B Medical Systems business met the "held for sale" criteria and "discontinued operations" criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 and the results of the B Medical Systems business are included within discontinued operations. As a result, the Company's continuing operations includes the following two operating and reportable segments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Sample Management Solutions**. The SMS business resources operate as a single business unit offering end-to-end sample management products and services, including: Sample Repository Services and Core Products (Automated Stores, Cryogenic Systems, Automated Sample Tube, Consumables and Instruments and Controlled Rate Thawing Devices).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Multiomics**. The Multiomics business resources operate as a single business unit offering genomic and other sample analysis services, including gene sequencing, gene synthesis and related services.

Management considers adjusted operating income (loss) as the performance metric when evaluating each segment's operations. The Company uses this measure because it enables the CODM and management to understand and evaluate the segments' core operating results and facilitates comparison of performance for determining compensation.

The CODM regularly uses segment adjusted operating income (loss) in the monthly and quarterly business review processes, and this measure serves as the basis for the CODM's evaluation of segment performance and related resource allocation considerations. During these processes, the CODM considers budget-to-actual variances in adjusted operating income (loss) to evaluate both internal factors (for example, changes in selling prices, strategic growth investments, productivity and business mix) and external factors (for example, inflation and foreign currency), events and conditions.

(1)Transformation costs represent non-recurring expenses for strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the Company focused on cost reduction and productivity improvement that do not meet the definition of restructuring charges. These costs are directed at simplifying, standardizing, streamlining, and optimizing the Company's operations, processes and systems to permanently alter the Company's operations for the long term. For a project to be considered transformational, successful completion of the project must be expected to bring long-term material benefits to the organization and involve significant changes to process and/or underlying technology. Transformation costs primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one-time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

(2)Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.

Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes charges related to amortization of intangible assets, transformation costs, restructuring charges, merger and acquisition costs, costs related to governance-related matters, and other miscellaneous expenses.

The segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM are adjusted cost of revenues which primarily consist of costs of direct materials and direct labor, freight, warranty, depreciation expenses, and facilities costs and adjusted operating expenses which primarily consists of employee salaries and benefits for research and development, selling, marketing, and administrative personnel, commissions, advertising and promotional expenses, audit, legal and strategic consulting fees,

------

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any individual customers that accounted for 10% or more of its consolidated revenue. As of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable balance.

**17. Commitments and Contingencies** 

***Contingencies***

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings or, in certain instances, provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. The Company considers all claims on a quarterly basis and based on known facts assesses whether potential losses are considered reasonably possible, probable, and estimable. Based upon this assessment, the Company then evaluates disclosure requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2026 and as of the date of filing of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company believes that no new material provision for liability nor new disclosure is required related to any claims. As there is potential for unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment of any claim will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.

***Purchase Commitments***

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had non-cancellable commitments of $41.1 million, comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $20.4 million and other operating expense commitments of $20.7 million.

**Item 2. *Management***'***s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations***

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and related notes contained in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below and in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, those discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, as well as those described in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under "Information Related to Forward-Looking Statements", Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All dollar amounts in the below MD&A are presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise provides.

As previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of the fiscal year 2025 consolidated financial statements, we identified errors in our previously issued financial statements. We evaluated the impact of the errors and concluded they were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any previously issued interim or annual consolidated financial statements. The figures for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 in this MD&A have been revised, where applicable, to reflect the impact of such corrections. Information regarding the impact of the revision to our previously issued condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and condensed consolidated balance sheets for periods within fiscal 2025 is included in Note 20, Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Quarterly Information, in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our MD&A is organized as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Overview.* This section provides a general description of our business and operating segments as well as a brief discussion and overall analysis of our business and financial performance, including key developments affecting us during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.* This section discusses accounting policies and estimates that require us to exercise subjective or complex judgments in their application. We believe these accounting policies and estimates are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Results of Operations.* This section provides an analysis of our financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Liquidity and Capital Resources.* This section provides an analysis of our liquidity and changes in cash flows as well as a discussion of contractual commitments.

***Disposition of B Medical Systems Business***

On December 23, 2025, we entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement, or the Share Purchase Agreement with Thelema S.À R.L. or Thelema for the sale of the B Medical Systems business. In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, Thelema is acquiring the B Medical Systems business for $63.0 million. Thelema has deposited $9.0 million with us and was expected to pay the remaining $54.0 million on or before March 31, 2026. On March 27, 2026, we were informed by Thelema that it had not yet secured the financing required to complete the transaction and, solely as a result of the non-satisfaction of that financing condition, the transaction did not close by March 31, 2026. Thelema indicated that it requires additional time to complete its financing arrangements. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including Thelema's securing of the required financing, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on a revised timeline or at all. See Note 3, *Discontinued Operations* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about the sale and the B Medical Systems business.

This strategic action is intended to simplify our portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in our core Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics segments. The B Medical Systems business

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

has been classified as held for sale and a discontinued operation under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, this MD&A relates solely to our continuing operations and excludes the operations of our B Medical Systems business.

**OVERVIEW**

We are a leading global provider of biological and chemical compound sample exploration and management solutions for the life sciences industry. We entered the life sciences market in 2011, leveraging our in-house precision automation and cryogenics capabilities that we were then applying in the semiconductor manufacturing market. This led us to develop solutions for automated ultra-cold storage. Since then, we have expanded our life sciences offerings through internal investments and through a series of acquisitions. We support our customers from research and clinical development to commercialization with our sample management and automated storage systems, as well as genomic services expertise to help our customers bring impactful therapies to market faster. We understand the importance of sample integrity and offer a broad portfolio of products and services supporting customers at every stage of the life cycle of samples including procurement, automated storage systems, genomic services and a multitude of sample consumables, informatics and data software, along with sample repository services. Our expertise, global footprint and leadership positions enable us to be a trusted global partner to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences research institutions.

We believe our acquisition, investment and integration approach has allowed us to accelerate internal development and significantly accelerate time to market for our life sciences solutions.

***Acquisition of UK Biocentre***

On March 4, 2026, we acquired UK Biocentre Limited, or UK Biocentre, for a purchase price of approximately $27.5 million, net of cash acquired, including contingent consideration which the Company estimated the fair value to be $2.5 million as of the measurement date. UK Biocentre is a provider of sample management, sample storage and high-throughput sample processing services in the United Kingdom. UK Biocentre's results of operations are reported in the Sample Management Solutions, or SMS, segment from the date of acquisition.

The acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver end-to-end lifecycle solutions in the United Kingdom, a life science research epicenter, while expanding our presence in Europe by establishing UK Biocentre as a European-wide operational hub to support pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, and public health customers across the region. This major hub will support our already established biorepository in Griesheim, Germany with current and new customers benefiting from expanded sample storage automated capabilities, reliable and fully integrated sample management and processing services, and a broader European footprint to support the region.

**Segments** 

Within our Sample Management Solutions, or SMS, segment, we operate as a single business unit offering end-to-end sample management products and services, including: Sample Repository Services and Core Products (Automated Stores, Cryogenic Systems, Automated Sample Tube, Consumables and Instruments and Controlled Rate Thawing Devices). This portfolio provides customers with a high level of sample quality, security, availability, intelligence and integrity throughout the lifecycle of samples, providing customers with complete end-to-end "cold chain of custody" capabilities. We also offer expert-level consultation services to our clients throughout their experimental design and implementation processes.

---

Revenue increased 1% for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, mainly driven by revenue growth in both operating segments. The revenue growth in our SMS segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year was primarily driven by higher revenue in Sample Storage, Product Services and Consumables and Instruments, partially offset by lower revenues in Core Products, particularly in Automated Stores and Cryogenic Systems. The revenue growth in our Multiomics segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year was primarily driven by Next Generation Sequencing services and Gene Synthesis services, partially offset by a decline in Sanger Sequencing services. Gross margin was 43% for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 44% and 45%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The decreases were primarily due to lost fixed-cost leverage from lower North America sales volume for Sanger Sequencing services and higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves, partially offset by improved operational efficiencies and favorable impact from a correction for prior period cost of goods sold. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 increased $146.8 million and $140.3 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $149.1 million related to the Multiomics and SMS segments, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. We generated a net loss from continuing operations of $157.0 million and $162.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $19.8 million and $26.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. The increased net loss from continuing operations was primarily driven by the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $149.1 million, partially offset by lower income tax expense. We generated a net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a net loss

from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $27.9 million and $31.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, including contingent consideration. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and consider various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate current and anticipated worldwide economic conditions, both in general and specifically in relation to the life sciences industry, that serve as a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily determinable based on information from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are described under *Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates* included in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

Please refer to the commentary provided below for further discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

Non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management adjusts the GAAP results for the impact of amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, transformation costs, restructuring charges, governance-related matters, merger and acquisition costs, and other unallocated corporate expenses to provide investors better perspective on the results of operations which we believe is more comparable to the similar analysis provided by our peers. Management also excludes special charges and gains, such as gains and losses from the sale of assets, certain tax benefits and charges, as well as other gains and charges that are not representative of the normal operations of the business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the performance of the business. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measures is included under "Operating Income (Loss)" and "Gross Margin" below.

Our SMS segment revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 increased approximately 2% and 1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year periods, mainly driven by higher revenue in Sample Storage,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

Product Services and Consumables and Instruments, partially offset by lower revenues in Core Products, particularly in Automated Stores and Cryogenic Systems, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026.

Our Multiomics segment revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 increased approximately 0.3% and 0.8%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year periods, driven by revenue growth in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis services, offset by a decline in Sanger Sequencing services.

(1)Transformation costs represent non-recurring expenses for strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to us focused on cost reduction and productivity improvement that do not meet the definition of restructuring charges. These costs are directed at simplifying, standardizing, streamlining, and optimizing our operations, processes and systems to permanently alter our operations for the long term. For a project to be considered transformational, successful completion of the project must be expected to bring long-term material benefits to the organization and involve significant changes to process and/or underlying technology. Transformation costs primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

(2)Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.

Operating income for the SMS segment was $1.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to operating loss of $1.2 million and operating income of $2.8 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The SMS segment operating margin increased 361 basis points and 159 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increases in operating margin were primarily driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves. Adjusted operating income for the SMS segment was $3.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to adjusted operating income of $2.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin for the SMS segment increased 32 basis points

and 27 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating income and margin exclude the impact of amortization of completed technology, transformation costs and other adjustments.

Operating loss for the Multiomics segment was $10.8 million and $15.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to operating loss of $6.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The Multiomics segment operating margin decreased 686 basis points and 470 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The decreases in operating margin were primarily driven by lost cost leverage from lower North America sales volume for Sanger Sequencing services. Adjusted operating loss for the Multiomics segment was $10.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to adjusted operating loss of $5.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin for the Multiomics segment decreased 709 basis points and 498 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating loss and margin exclude the impact of amortization of completed technology and intangible assets and other adjustments.

The SMS segment gross margin increased 44 basis points and decreased 194 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted gross margin increased 35 basis points and decreased 169 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increases in gross margin and adjusted gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were driven by improved operational efficiencies, favorable product sales mix, higher-margin revenue streams, and favorable impact from a correction for prior period cost of goods sold, partially offset by higher rework costs and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The decreases in gross margin and adjusted gross margin for the six months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily driven by higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves.

The Multiomics segment gross margin decreased 276 basis points and 299 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted gross margin decreased 304 basis points and 327 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The decreases in gross margin and adjusted gross margin were primarily driven by lost fixed-cost leverage from lower North America sales volume for Sanger Sequencing services.

**Research and Development Expenses**

Our research and development expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

Total research and development expenses increased $1.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, driven by our increased investment in development to support new product introductions.

**Selling, General and Administrative Expenses**

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

---

Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

lower compensation and benefits expenses and contract labor costs. The one-time costs related to our leadership changes in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year also contributed to the decrease in the six months ended March 31, 2026.

**Impairment of Goodwill**

Based on the results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts of our Multiomics and SMS reporting units exceeded their respective fair values, resulting in non-cash impairment charges of $112.4 million for Multiomics and $36.6 million for SMS. The total goodwill impairment charge of $149.1 million was recorded within "Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We made significant estimates and assumptions in our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2026. Actual results may vary significantly and may expose us to material impairment charges in the future. Please refer to Note 7, *Goodwill and Intangible Assets* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

In the event the performance of any of our reporting units does not meet management expectations in the future, we experience a prolonged macroeconomic or market downturn, or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions used in the analysis used to estimate fair value, we may be required to perform additional impairment analyses which could result in one or more additional impairment charges, any one of which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

**Restructuring Charges**

Restructuring charges were $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $2.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Please refer to Note 8, *Restructuring* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

**Non-Operating Income** 

*Interest income, net* – We recorded interest income of $4.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $4.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. The slight changes in interest income are a result of interest rate fluctuations in our investment portfolios. Please refer to Note 5, *Marketable Securities* and Note 6, *Derivative Instruments* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

*Other income, net* – We recorded other income of $4.1 million for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Other income, net primarily relates to foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. On March 4, 2026, we acquired UK Biocentre and settled a preexisting contractual relationship with UK Biocentre upon the business combination. As a result, we recognized $3.9 million of non-cash gain from the settlement, which is included in "Other income, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Please refer to Note 4, *Business Combination* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

**Income Tax Expense**

We recorded income tax benefit of $0.3 million and income tax expense of $2.8 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, which were primarily driven by the profit mix in foreign jurisdictions, valuation allowance implications in the United States and state income taxes in jurisdictions where we do not have a net operating loss carry over.

We recorded income tax expense of $7.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. The tax expense in each period was primarily driven by the profits in foreign jurisdictions and state income taxes in jurisdictions where we do not have a net operating loss carry over.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" was signed into U.S. tax law, extending many international tax provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and providing additional favorable incentives. We will continue to monitor the financial impact of these changes. In the near term, we do not expect these changes to have an impact on our effective tax rate or cash flows as we are not electing to utilize many of the key incentives available under the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

**Discontinued Operations**

Results related to the B Medical Systems business and legal fees related to the ongoing indemnification dispute with the buyer of the semiconductor cryogenics business are included within discontinued operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026. Revenue from the B Medical Systems business was $22.8 million and $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue from the B Medical Systems business was $35.9 million and $34.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $3.8 million and $14.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $27.9 million and $31.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to lower loss on assets held for sale during three and six months ended March 31, 2026. Loss from discontinued operations includes only direct operating expenses incurred that (1) are clearly identifiable as costs being disposed of upon completion of the sale and (2) will not be continued by us on an ongoing basis. Indirect expenses which supported the B Medical Systems business and remain part of continuing operations, are not reflected in loss from discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, *Discontinued Operations*, in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $564.8 million and stockholders' equity of $1.6 billion. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and for the foreseeable future thereafter. The current global economic environment makes it difficult for us to predict longer-term liquidity requirements with certainty. We may be unable to obtain financing that may be required on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on acceptable terms or otherwise, we may be unable to successfully develop or enhance products and services, respond to competitive pressures, or take advantage of acquisition opportunities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

**Cash Flows and Liquidity**

The discussion of our cash flows and liquidity that follows is stated on a total company consolidated basis and excludes the impact of discontinued operations.

Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities for our continuing operations as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *In thousands* | **March 31, 2026** | **September 30, 2025** |

| Long-term marketable securities | 177831 | 201585 |
|  | $564840 | $546201 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, we had $158.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held outside of the United States which are not currently needed for U.S. operations. We had approximately $25.1 million of cash in China as of March 31, 2026. We began repatriating cash from China to the United States during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025 and have provided for $6.4 million of income taxes related to the repatriation plan as of March 31, 2026. We have repatriated $41.1 million from China during fiscal year 2026 and have a plan to repatriate cash from China in the future. Our marketable securities are generally readily convertible to cash without a material adverse impact.

Our cash flows on a total company consolidated basis for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

---

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $(47397) | $(32124) |

---

Cash inflows from operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2026 were $34.4 million, a decrease of $9.8 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to a U.S. federal tax refund of $11.5 million received in the six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an immaterial U.S. federal tax refund received in the six months ended March 31, 2026.

Investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2026 include $328.8 million in purchases of marketable securities, which was offset by $266.5 million in sales and maturities of marketable securities. Investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2026 also include the $9.0 million deposit in connection with the pending sale of the B Medical Systems business and the $11.0 million closing cash payment for the acquisition of UK Biocentre, net of cash acquired.

Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2026 include $2.4 million of tax payments on net share settlements on equity awards during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding debt on our balance sheet.

**Capital Resources**

***Share Repurchase Program***

On December 8, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock through December 31, 2028, or the 2025 Repurchase Program. Repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions (including under an accelerated share repurchase agreement), or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, subject to market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program and share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time at our discretion. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program.

***Contractual Obligations and Requirements***

As of March 31, 2026, we had non-cancellable commitments of $41.1 million comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $20.4 million and other operating expense commitments of $20.7 million.

**Item 3. *Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk***

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term and long-term investments and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

**Interest Rate Exposure**

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist principally of money market securities which are short-term in nature. At March 31, 2026, our aggregate short-term and long-term investments were $324.3 million, consisting mostly of U.S. government backed securities and highly rated corporate debt securities. At March 31, 2026, there was a $0.7 million net unrealized loss position on marketable securities included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

condensed consolidated balance sheets included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $2.0 million change in interest income earned for each of the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

**Currency Rate Exposure**

Sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately 39% and 34% of our total sales, respectively, during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. These sales were made primarily by our foreign subsidiaries, which have cost structures that substantially align with the currency of sale. We believe the cost structure alignment minimizes our currency risk on these transactions.

We have transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity. Most of these transactions carrying foreign exchange risk are in Germany, the United Kingdom, and China. In the normal course of our business, we have liquid assets denominated in non-functional currencies which include cash, short-term advances between our legal entities and accounts receivable which are subject to foreign currency exposure. Such balances were $45.8 million and $49.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, and primarily relate to the Euro and British Pound. We mitigate the impact of potential currency translation losses on these short-term intercompany advances by the timely settlement of each transaction, generally within 30 days. We also utilize forward contracts to mitigate our exposures to currency movement. We incurred foreign currency losses of $1.5 million and $1.1 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which related to the currency fluctuation on these balances between the time the transaction occurred and the ultimate settlement of the transaction. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2026 would result in an approximate change of $0.4 million in our net loss during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

**Item 4. *Controls and Procedures***

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the material weaknesses described below. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses and based on additional analysis and other procedures management performed, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented.

***Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

As previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following material weaknesses were identified as of September 30, 2025 and remain outstanding as of March 31, 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As initially disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the cash flow statement. This material weakness resulted in immaterial misstatements in our consolidated statements of cash flows for the Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2023, the year ended September 30, 2023, the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024, the Q1 interim period during fiscal year 2025, and in our supplemental cash flow disclosures for the year ended September 30, 2022, each interim and annual period during fiscal year 2023 and the Q1, Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As initially disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the preparation and review of account reconciliations. This material weakness resulted in immaterial misstatements in our condensed consolidated financial statements for

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2025, and our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As initially disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the classification of certain costs in our consolidated statement of operations. This material weakness resulted in misstatements in the classification of certain costs between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative and research and development costs that resulted in the revision of the annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023, the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods and the annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods during the year ended September 30, 2025.

Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in misstatements of substantially all account balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

*Remediation Plans* 

*Statements of Cash Flows* – During fiscal year 2026, management has continued to take steps to remediate the material weakness, including implementing a new cash flow reporting tool which automates the calculation of the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we designed and implemented new processes and controls over the review of the consolidated statement of cash flows. While the new and enhanced controls have been designed and implemented and we monitored and evaluated their effectiveness during each of the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2026, they have not operated for a sufficient period as of March 31, 2026 to assert the material weakness has been remediated. Management will continue to evaluate and monitor the operating effectiveness of these controls over subsequent periods to determine whether the material weakness has been remediated.

*Account Reconciliations* – Since the identification of the material weakness in the fiscal second quarter of 2025, including during fiscal year 2026, we have started taking the necessary steps to work towards remediating the material weakness. Specifically, we have been designing and enhancing the controls and precision level over balance sheet reconciliations, drafting a new policy, and working with outside consultants to assist in certain aspects of the remediation plan. We will continue to take the necessary steps to address this material weakness.

*Expense Classification* – During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, management initiated actions to remediate the identified material weakness. Specifically, we designed and implemented new controls related to the review of the classification of certain costs within the consolidated statements of operations. While the new controls have been designed and implemented and we monitored and evaluated their effectiveness during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, they have not operated for a sufficient period as of March 31, 2026 to assert the material weakness has been remediated. Management will continue to evaluate and monitor the operating effectiveness of these controls over subsequent periods to determine whether the material weakness has been remediated.

These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until we have completed the design and implementation of the applicable controls and they operate for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively.

We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, and as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

*Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.* The Remediation Plans described above are the only changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. *Legal Proceedings***

We are subject to various legal proceedings, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings or in certain instances provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. As there is potential for unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these legal proceedings, there can be no assurance that our assessment of any claim will reflect the ultimate outcome and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time-to-time, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods. Please refer to Note 3, *Discontinued Operations* and Note 17, *Commitments and Contingencies* to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about our legal proceedings.

**Item 1A. *Risk Factors***

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations set forth under the section titled "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 5, 2026. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except for the changes to the risk factor set forth below. We may disclose additional changes to risk factors or additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

***Our business could be adversely affected if Thelema S.À R.L. fails to secure financing necessary to complete its acquisition of the B Medical Systems business.***

As discussed in Note 3, *Discontinued Operations* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the completion of our sale of the B Medical Systems business was conditioned upon the acquirer securing final residual financing for the remaining acquisition payment of $54.0 million on or before March 31, 2026. On March 27, 2026, we were informed by Thelema that it had not yet secured the financing required to complete the transaction and, solely as a result of the non-satisfaction of that financing condition, the transaction did not close by March 31, 2026. Thelema has indicated that it requires additional time to complete its financing arrangements. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including Thelema's securing of the required financing, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on a revised timeline or at all. The parties have not amended or terminated the Share Purchase Agreement and we are evaluating potential paths forward with respect to the transaction while Thelema continues to complete its financing arrangements. As a result of Thelema not satisfying the financing condition by March 31, 2026, either party may terminate the Share Purchase Agreement, in which case we will retain $5.0 million from the $9.0 million deposit as a break-up fee. A prolonged delay in closing the acquisition or Thelema's failure to complete the acquisition, however, may require us to continue operating the B Medical Systems business for an indeterminate period of time and to include the results of the business in the results of our continuing operations. We would likely experience adverse consequences as a result thereof, including a negative and dilutive impact on our top and bottom-line performance, the distraction of management away from our core Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics segments and the potential need to recognize additional impairment charges related to the B Medical Systems business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

***Our goodwill and intangible assets may become impaired.***

As of March 31, 2026, we had $553.1 million of goodwill and $91.4 million in net intangible assets as a result of our acquisitions. We periodically review our goodwill and the estimated useful lives of our identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in either a diminished fair value, or for intangible assets, a revised useful life. These events and circumstances include significant changes in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, advances in technology and competition. Any impairment or revised useful life could have a material and adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations and could harm the trading price of our common stock.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i6f310e4b971142ba9b419800cd615e11_7)</u>

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, we assessed several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, including updates to forecasted cash flows, increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, and a sustained decline in our stock price. We concluded it was more likely than not the fair value of each of the SMS and Multiomics reporting units was less than their respective carrying amounts due to the combined impact of declining stock price and revised forecasts. As a result, we completed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for our reporting units. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test performed as of March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts of the SMS and Multiomics reporting units exceeded their respective fair values, resulting in non-cash impairment charges of $36.6 million for SMS and $112.4 million for Multiomics. Please refer to Note 7, *Goodwill and Intangible Assets* in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled "Financial Statements" in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

In the event the performance of any of our reporting units does not meet management expectations in the future, we experience a prolonged macroeconomic or market downturn, or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions used in the analysis used to estimate fair value, we may be required to perform additional impairment analyses which could result in one or more additional impairment charges, any one of which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and trading price of our common stock.

**Item 2. *Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds***

**Share Repurchase Program**

In December 2025, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock through December 31, 2028. The timing and amount of any share repurchases are subject to market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock and share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time at our discretion. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**Item *5. Other Information***

**Rule *10b5*-*1* Trading Arrangements**

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
