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 in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan, and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design. Includes expenses related to governance-related matters. 00009339742024-10-012024-12-31 xbrli:shares 00009339742025-02-03 thunderdome:item iso4217:USD 00009339742024-12-31 00009339742024-09-30

INFORMATION RELATED TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 ​

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are, or may be considered to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section-27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act”, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”. All statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs or expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking, terminology as “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “continue,” “likely” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to our future revenue, margins, costs, operating expenses, tax expenses, capital expenditures, earnings, profitability, product development, demand, acceptance and market share, competitiveness, market opportunities and performance, levels of research and development, the success of our marketing, sales and service efforts, outsourced activities, anticipated manufacturing, customer and technical requirements, the ongoing viability of the solutions that we offer and our customers’ success, our management’s plans and objectives for our current and future operations and business focus, litigation, our ability to retain, hire and integrate skilled personnel, our ability to identify and address increased cybersecurity risks, including as a result of employees continuing to work remotely, the anticipated growth prospects of our business, the expected benefits and other statements relating to our divestitures and acquisitions, the adequacy, effectiveness and success of cost saving plans and our business transformation initiatives, our ability to continue to identify acquisition targets and successfully acquire and integrate desirable products and services and realize expected revenues and revenue synergies, our adoption of newly issued accounting guidance, the levels of customer spending, our dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain services for our business on acceptable terms, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, general economic conditions, the impact of inflation, and the sufficiency of financial resources to support future operations and the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Such statements are based on current expectations and involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, our performance or our achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risk factors which are set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, or the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC” on November 27, 2024, as updated and/or supplemented in subsequent filings with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are based on information reasonably known to us at such time. We do not undertake any obligation to release revisions to these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence or effect of anticipated or unanticipated events. Precautionary statements made herein should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any additional precautionary statements made in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 and breakthrough 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 operated as its own operating and reportable segment called the B Medical Systems segment focused on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations. 

 

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Boards (“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 segment 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 segment in accordance with FASB ASC 205. The discussion in the notes to these 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 automation business in February 2022. The Company accrued a liability for the loss contingency and had $1.7 million remaining in the balance of the accrued liability as of December 31, 2024.

 

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, 2024 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, 2024 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Revisions to Previously Issued Financial Statements and Financial Information  

 

As previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of its fiscal year 2024 financial statements, the Company identified classification errors in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended  September 30, 2023 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  March 31, 2023,   June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024. Specifically, the Company’s historical classification of the effects of exchange rate changes on the Company’s foreign denominated cash and cash equivalent balances was misclassified between the effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended  September 30, 2023 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company corrected for immaterial classification errors in between cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, and supplemental disclosures for all revised periods. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  March 31, 2023,   June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024 have been revised and disclosed in Note 21, 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the interim period ended December 31, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company assessed the effect of the errors on prior periods under the guidance of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” codified in ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Based on its assessment, the Company determined that the error correction is not material to any previously issued financial statements. The correction has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated net income, financial position, net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, or total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as previously reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 

 

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, 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 gains were$0.5 million and losses were $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires the disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures pertaining to significant segment expenses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its disclosures. 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued 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. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after  December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact its disclosures until fiscal year 2026.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. Effective fiscal year 2026, the Company is required to disclose climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, the Company will be required to disclose the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions within the notes to the financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds. Effective fiscal year 2027, required disclosures will also include disclosure of material direct greenhouse gas emissions from operations owned or controlled (Scope 1) and material indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased energy consumed in owned or controlled operations (Scope 2). In April 2024, the SEC issued an order voluntarily staying the effectiveness of the new rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain legal challenges to their validity. The Company, assuming adoption of the rules, is currently evaluating the impact of these rules and monitoring the status of the related litigation and SEC’s stay, which remains in effect as of December 31, 2024.

 

In 2021, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar II Framework Model Rules (“Pillar 2”), which are designed to impose a 15% global minimum tax on the earnings of in-scope multinational corporations on a country-by-country basis. Certain aspects of Pillar 2 took effect on  January 1, 2024 while other aspects go into effect on  January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not expect to meet the consolidated revenue threshold of €750 million over the next twelve months.

 

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. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. Discontinued Operations

 

Plan to Sell B Medical Systems Business

 

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 operated as its own operating and reportable segment called the B Medical Systems segment focused on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations. This action is intended to simplify the Company's portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core businesses. The decision followed work by the Board of Directors to evaluate strategic, operational and financial opportunities to maximize stockholder value. The Company anticipates entering into a definitive agreement to sell its B Medical Systems business by November 2025.

 

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 as of November 12, 2024. Results related to the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, were retroactively reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the B Medical Systems segment in accordance with FASB ASC 205.

Disposition of Semiconductor Business

 

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash to Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. On July 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business for $659.8 million to Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) (“Edwards”). Both the semiconductor automation business and the semiconductor cryogenics business are considered discontinued operations. The Company still may have certain indemnification obligations pursuant to claims made under the definitive agreement it entered into with Edwards in connection with the Company’s sale of its semiconductor cryogenics business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Edwards asserted claims for indemnification under the definitive agreement relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to customer warranty claims and inventory (the “2020 Claim”). In addition, in January 2023, Edwards filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York seeking indemnification from the Company under such definitive agreement for $1.0 million and other related damages, including interest and attorney’s fees, arising from a third-party claim that was included as part of their initial claims (the “2023 Claim”).

 

In April 2023, the Company responded to and filed a counterclaim against Edwards for the 2023 Claim alleging breach of the definitive agreements by Edwards and seeking a declaratory judgment. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company and Edwards entered into a settlement agreement related to the 2023 Claim to avoid the costs and uncertainties of potential litigation. Under the settlement agreement, the Company paid Edwards $0.8 million from one of the indemnification escrows established at closing of the sale in return for the release of the 2023 Claim and the release to the Company of $1.0 million from a separate indemnification escrow. The Company accrued a liability of $2.5 million for the 2020 Claim and 2023 Claim of which $0.8 million was paid during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The 2020 Claim remains outstanding and $1.7 million remains in the balance of the accrued liability as of  December 31, 2024.

 

The Company had been informed that Edwards sought recovery for the 2020 Claim from the representation and warranty insurance Edwards obtained in connection with the closing of the sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company was further informed that Edwards agreed to a payment under such insurance for claimed amounts in excess of the applicable indemnification deductibles established under the definitive agreement, but less than the total of claimed amounts submitted for recovery. Although management believes that any indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable deductibles established in the definitive agreement would be covered by such insurance, Edwards is seeking recovery from the Company for claimed amounts purportedly not covered, or inadequately covered, by such insurance (the “Claim for Uncovered Amounts”). The Company cannot determine the probability of any losses or outcome of the Claim for Uncovered Amounts including the amount of any indemnifiable losses, if any, resulting from this claim. The Company, however, does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, in each case, for continuing operations. Any potential expense incurred by the Company for these claims would be reflected in discontinued operations.

 

In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assessment of these claims will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in these 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.

4. Marketable Securities

 

The Company had sales and maturities of marketable securities of $125.6 million and $110.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were immaterial realized gains in the three months ended  December 31, 2024 and 2023 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 short-term and long-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2024 and  September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

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

 

Unrealized 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.

     ​

 

5. 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. Net gains and losses related to foreign exchange contracts are recorded as a component of “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and were as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements below due to a lack of an active market for these contracts.

 

Hedging Activities

 

On February 1, 2023, 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 $436.0 million for €400.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.66%. The Company designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of its Euro denominated subsidiaries, which requires an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. At the maturity of the cross currency-swap on February 1, 2024, the Company delivered a notional amount of €400 million and received a notional amount of $436.0 million at a Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.09, which included a gain of $1.4 million.

9. Stockholders Equity

 

Share Repurchases

 

On  November 4, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock (the “2022 Repurchase Authorization”). During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock for $112.9 million (excluding fees, commissions, and excise tax) under this authorization. As of  September 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased and retired 30.0 million shares of common stock for the full $1.5 billion approved under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization. All shares repurchased under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization were retired, accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and treated as a repurchase of common stock for purposes of calculating earnings per share as of the applicable settlement dates. No additional repurchase authorization has been approved and as such there were no shares repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2024. 

 

Effective  January 1, 2023, all corporate share repurchases are subject to a one percent excise tax on the value of the repurchase, net of share issuances, subject to certain exclusions. The excise tax was part of The Inflation Reduction Act passed by the U.S. government in 2022. The Company's accrual for excise tax related to share repurchases is considered an additional cost of the share repurchases and a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company made an excise tax payment of $4.9 million, reducing the excise tax accrual to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

Contract Balances

 

Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable represent 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 $155.0 million and $156.3 million at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, 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 $34.3 million and $28.9 million at December 31, 2024 and  September 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue of $9.2 million recognized during the three months ended  December 31, 2024 and $9.1 million recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2023 contributed to the contract asset balances at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

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” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities were $41.8 million and $30.5 million at December 31, 2024 and  September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of $14.4 million and $21.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period.

 

20

 

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 December 31, 2024 was $84.6 million. The following table summarizes when the Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue; the Company will recognize revenue associated with these performance obligations as transfer of control occurs (in thousands):

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 three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Total units

  519,862   587,848 

 

Restricted stock units granted during the three months ended December 31, 2023 per the table above include 31,475 units for discontinued operations. All restricted stock units granted during the three months ended December 31, 2024 per the table above are for 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 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. 

 

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, 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 based on the three-year daily historical volatility as measured on the grant date, (ii) risk-free interest rate 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.

 

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 executive team. The performance goals, as amended, are more reflective of the 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 potential maximum compensation cost of $3.8 million recognized over the service period through November 2025. The Company recorded expense of $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 related to the modified awards.  ​

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 within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy 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.

 

Available-For-Sale Securities

 

Available-for-sale securities primarily consist of highly rated corporate debt securities, and U.S. government backed 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.

Convertible Debt Securities and Investment in Equity Securities

 

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company purchased $2.0 million principal amount of convertible notes issued by a private company. The Company accounted for the investment in convertible notes at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. As of the conversion date, the fair value of the convertible notes was $2.1 million.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company converted the convertible notes into 420,000 shares of preferred stock of the private company. 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 of the private company because the shares of preferred stock do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the investment in the shares of preferred stock of the private company was $2.1 million and is included in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date and will reduce the carrying value accordingly when an impairment is identified. The fair value determination is based on unobservable inputs (Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy) 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 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.

 

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

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any material other-than-temporary impairments on financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

13. Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the profits in foreign jurisdictions and current state income taxes in jurisdictions where the Company does not have a net operating loss carryover. Additionally, tax expense is generated on a global loss because the U.S. tax loss is not being benefited due to a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

 

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The tax expense for the three months ended  December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the pre-tax income from foreign operations during the period, a $0.5 million stock compensation shortfall expense for tax deductions that are lower than the associated book compensation expense, and a $0.6 million expense related to a valuation allowance on beginning of year U.S. state deferred tax assets.

    

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 numerous countries under many legal forms and, as a result, is subject to the jurisdiction of numerous domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company evaluates the profitability of its operations in each 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 has generated U.S. pre-tax losses in recent years and provided a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2024. The Company expects to generate a U.S. book loss during fiscal year 2025 and expects a valuation allowance of $11.9 million in the United States against its U.S. net deferred tax assets for fiscal year 2025.

 

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

 

The Company has not provided deferred income taxes on the outside basis difference of any foreign subsidiary and maintains its general assertion of indefinite reinvestment regarding those subsidiaries and the remaining earnings of its German subsidiary as of December 31, 2024.

 

The Company maintains liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits based on its estimates and assumptions. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision or benefit. The Company recognized minimal interest expense related to its unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

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 anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest on those benefits will not be reduced in the next twelve months due to the statute of limitations expirations. These unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

15. Segment and Geographic Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities 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 Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM.

 

As of November 12, 2024, the Company’s B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 and the results of the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations. 

 

The Company’s continuing operations includes the following operating and reportable segments:

 ​

 

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).

 

Multiomics. The Multiomics business resources operate as a single business unit offering genomic and other sample analysis services, including gene sequencing and gene synthesis.

 ​

26

 

Management considers adjusted operating income (loss), which excludes charges related to amortization of intangible assets, transformation costs, restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, merger and acquisition costs and costs related to share repurchase, governance-related matters, and other unallocated corporate expenses, as the primary performance metric when evaluating each segment’s operations.

 

The following is the summary of the financial information for the Company’s operating and reportable segments for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

(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 in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

(2)

Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.

As of September 30, 2024, there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable balance.

 

16. 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 December 31, 2024 and as of the date of filing of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company believes that, other than the claims related to Edwards disclosed in Note 3, Discontinued Operations, no material provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claims. In the event of 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.

 

Tariff Matter

 

With the assistance of a third-party consultant, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company initiated a review of the value of transactions it used for intercompany imports into the U. S. from its GENEWIZ business. As a result of this review and an interpretation surrounding the valuation method used to calculate the estimated transaction value, the Company revised its estimate of the tariffs owed and paid $5.9 million to U.S. customs authorities in fiscal year 2022 related to transactions prior to  December 2021. In  July 2024, the Company paid approximately $2.5 million in tariffs as well as interest related to the imports from its GENEWIZ business into the U.S. during the period from December 2021 to  July 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not anticipate any penalties associated with this payment because its valuation methodology was accepted by U.S. customs authorities during previous voluntary disclosures. It is expected that U.S. customs authorities will issue the final audit results for these periods in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.

 

Purchase Commitments

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had non-cancellable commitments of $50.1 million, comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $36.0 million and other operating expense commitments of $14.1 million.

Plan to Sell B Medical Systems Business

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company announced that it is pursuing a sale of its B Medical Systems business, a manufacturer and global distributor of medical refrigeration devices based in Luxembourg. This strategic action is intended to simplify the Company’s portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics segments. The B Medical Systems segment 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, 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. In total, we employ approximately 3,000 full-time employees, part-time employees and contingent workers worldwide as of December 31, 2024 and have sales in approximately 80 countries. We are headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts and have operations in North America, Asia, and Europe.

 

Our portfolio includes product and service offerings developed by us internally, as well as acquired through acquisitions, designed to provide comprehensive capabilities to our customers, addressing their needs in sample exploration and management, automated storage and multiomics. We continue to develop new product and service offerings and enhance existing and acquired offerings through the expertise of our research and development resources. 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.

 

 

Segments

 

Within our Sample Management Solutions 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.

 

Within our Multiomics segment, our genomic services business advances research and development activities by providing gene sequencing, synthesis, editing and related services. We offer a comprehensive, global portfolio that we believe has both broad appeal in the life sciences industry and enables customers to select the best solution for their research and development challenges. This portfolio also offers unique solutions for key markets such as cell and gene therapy, antibody development and biomarker discovery by addressing genomic complexity and throughput challenges.

Three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to three months ended December 31, 2023

 

Revenue increased 4% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, driven by revenue growth in both our Multiomics and Sample Management Solutions segments. In Multiomics, revenue increased in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis services, partially offset by a decline in Sanger sequencing.  In Sample Management Solutions, revenue increased in Sample Repository Solutions and Core Products, particularly in Consumables and Instruments and Clinical and Cryogenic Stores Systems. Gross margin was 47% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to 44% for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, driven by higher revenues and margin expansion across the business, particularly in our Sample Management Solutions segment, mostly driven by operational efficiencies, sales mix, and the impact of certain non-recurring items recorded in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Operating expenses increased during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year driven by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower research and development expense and lower restructuring charges. We generated a loss from continuing operations of $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to loss from continuing operations of $7.2 million for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by lower interest income and higher income tax expense, partially offset by higher revenue and operational efficiencies. We generated a net loss of $13.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to a net loss of $15.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to decreased loss from discontinued operations offsetting the increased loss from continuing operations.

 

 

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. 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 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 2024 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 from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023.

 

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, transformation costs, restructuring charges, governance-related matters, merger and acquisition costs and costs related to share repurchase, and other unallocated corporate expenses to provide investors better perspective on the results of operations which the Company believes is more comparable to the similar analysis provided by its 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 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 Multiomics segment revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased 6% compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year period driven by revenue growth in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis services, partially offset by a decline in Sanger sequencing services.

 

 

Our Sample Management Solutions segment revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased 3% compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year period driven by revenue growth in both Sample Repository Services and Core Products businesses, particularly in Consumables and Instruments and Clinical and Cryogenic Stores Systems.

 

Revenue generated outside the United States was $54.0 million, or 37% of total revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $51.6 million, or 36% of total revenue, for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.

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 in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

Three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to three months ended December 31, 2023

 

Operating income for the Sample Management Solutions segment was $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The Sample Management Solutions segment operating margin was 1.9%, an increase of 380 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating income and operating margin were primarily driven by higher revenue and margin expansion, partially offset by increased operating expenses. Adjusted operating income was $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to adjusted operating loss of $0.6 million in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin was 2.9%, an increase of 363 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating income and margin exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets of $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and transformation costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Operating loss for the Multiomics segment was $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to an operating loss of $4.3 million in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The Multiomics segment operating margin was (5.1)%, an increase of 175 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in operating loss and increase in operating margin were primarily driven by higher revenue and gross profit, supported by operational efficiency. Adjusted operating loss was $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to adjusted operating loss of $3.3 million in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin was (3.8)%, an increase of 143 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating loss and margin exclude the impact of amortization related to completed technology of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to three months ended December 31, 2023

 

The Sample Management Solutions segment gross margin was 46.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 482 basis points compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted gross margin was 47.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 464 basis points compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, driven by higher gross margin for both Core Products and Sample Repository Services. The increase in gross margin was mostly driven by improved operational efficiencies, sales mix, and the impact of certain non-recurring items recorded in the same period last year. Adjusted gross margin excludes the impact of amortization related to completed technology of $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and transformation costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

The Multiomics segment gross margin was 46.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 70 basis points compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted gross margin was 47.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 34 basis points compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, driven by higher gross margin for the Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis services, partially offset by lower gross margin for Sanger sequencing. The increase in gross margin for Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis was driven by higher revenues and operational efficiencies; the margin pressure in Sanger sequencing was primarily driven by lower revenues. Adjusted gross margin excludes the impact of amortization related to completed technology of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Restructuring Charges

 

Restructuring charges were $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 driven by decreased activity on the cost saving initiatives launched in fiscal year 2024. See Note 7, 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 $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $10.0 million recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in interest income is due to decreased investments in marketable securities during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Please refer to Note 4, Marketable Securities and Note 5, 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.

 

Other income (expense), net – We recorded other income of $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to other income of $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which primarily relates to foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

 

Income Tax Benefit 

 

We recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily driven by the profits in our foreign jurisdictions and current state income taxes in jurisdictions where we do not have a net operating loss carryover. Additionally, tax expense is generated on a global loss because the U.S. tax loss is not being benefited due to a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

 

We recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the pre-tax income from foreign operations during the period, a $0.5 million stock compensation shortfall expense for tax deductions that are lower than the associated book compensation expense and a $0.6 million expense related to a valuation allowance on beginning of year U.S. state deferred tax assets.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, following approval by our Board of Directors, we publicly announced our plan to sell the B Medical Systems business. Results related to the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Revenue from discontinued operations was $17.6 million and $12.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $3.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The 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 the Company on an ongoing basis. Indirect expenses which supported the B Medical Systems segment 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.

 

 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $503.4 million and stockholders’ equity of $1.7 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 sufficient 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

 

Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities for our continuing operations as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 are as follows:

Our cash flows on a total company consolidated basis for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 include $40.8 million of purchases of marketable securities, offset by $125.6 million for sales and maturities of marketable securities. Financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 include $4.9 million of excise tax payments related to our share repurchases settled in fiscal year 2024.

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding debt on our balance sheet.

 ​

 

 

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 December 31, 2024, our aggregate short-term and long-term investments were $113.4 million, consisting mostly of highly rated corporate debt securities and U.S. government backed securities. At December 31, 2024, the net unrealized loss position on marketable securities was $0.2 million which is included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $1.3 million and $2.7 million change in interest income earned during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Currency Rate Exposure

 

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. Sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately 37% and 27% of our total sales, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. These sales were made primarily by our foreign subsidiaries, which have cost structures that substantially align with the currency of sale.

 

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 $38.8 million and $63.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, and primarily relate to the Euro, British Pound, and the Chinese Yuan. 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 gains of $0.5 million and losses of $0.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 December 31, 2024 would result in an approximate change of $0.2 million in our net income during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 ​

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 Rule 13a-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 December 31, 2024 due to the material weakness described below. Notwithstanding the material weakness, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for each of the periods presented. 

 

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the cash flow statement that continues to exist as of December 31, 2024. The material weakness resulted in immaterial misstatements in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2023, for the year ended September 30, 2023, as well as the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024 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. Additionally, the material weakness could result in material misstatements of our interim or annual consolidated statement of cash flows or supplemental cash flow disclosures that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Remediation Plan. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we have taken steps to remediate the material weakness described above, including implementing a new cash flow reporting tool which automates the calculation of the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, and we have implemented and documented new processes and controls over the review of our consolidated statement of cash flows. While the new and enhanced controls have been designed and implemented, they have not operated for a sufficient period of time as of December 31, 2024 to assert the material weakness has been remediated. Once the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively, the material weakness will be considered remediated. 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 remediation measures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As described under the Remediation Plan section above, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 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, in each case, for continuing operations. Please refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations and Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies 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 our legal proceedings. In the event of 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.

 ​

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 operated as its own operating and reportable segment called the B Medical Systems segment focused on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations. 

 

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Boards (“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 segment 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 segment in accordance with FASB ASC 205. The discussion in the notes to these 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 automation business in February 2022. The Company accrued a liability for the loss contingency and had $1.7 million remaining in the balance of the accrued liability as of December 31, 2024.

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, 2024 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, 2024 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

 

Revisions to Previously Issued Financial Statements and Financial Information  

 

As previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of its fiscal year 2024 financial statements, the Company identified classification errors in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended  September 30, 2023 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  March 31, 2023,   June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024. Specifically, the Company’s historical classification of the effects of exchange rate changes on the Company’s foreign denominated cash and cash equivalent balances was misclassified between the effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended  September 30, 2023 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company corrected for immaterial classification errors in between cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, and supplemental disclosures for all revised periods. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  March 31, 2023,   June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024 have been revised and disclosed in Note 21, 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the interim period ended December 31, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company assessed the effect of the errors on prior periods under the guidance of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” codified in ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Based on its assessment, the Company determined that the error correction is not material to any previously issued financial statements. The correction has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated net income, financial position, net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, or total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as previously reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 

 

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, 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 gains were$0.5 million and losses were $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires the disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures pertaining to significant segment expenses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its disclosures. 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued 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. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after  December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact its disclosures until fiscal year 2026.

 

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. Effective fiscal year 2026, the Company is required to disclose climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, the Company will be required to disclose the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions within the notes to the financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds. Effective fiscal year 2027, required disclosures will also include disclosure of material direct greenhouse gas emissions from operations owned or controlled (Scope 1) and material indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased energy consumed in owned or controlled operations (Scope 2). In April 2024, the SEC issued an order voluntarily staying the effectiveness of the new rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain legal challenges to their validity. The Company, assuming adoption of the rules, is currently evaluating the impact of these rules and monitoring the status of the related litigation and SEC’s stay, which remains in effect as of December 31, 2024.

 

In 2021, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar II Framework Model Rules (“Pillar 2”), which are designed to impose a 15% global minimum tax on the earnings of in-scope multinational corporations on a country-by-country basis. Certain aspects of Pillar 2 took effect on  January 1, 2024 while other aspects go into effect on  January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not expect to meet the consolidated revenue threshold of €750 million over the next twelve months.

 

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. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Plan to Sell B Medical Systems Business

 

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 operated as its own operating and reportable segment called the B Medical Systems segment focused on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations. This action is intended to simplify the Company's portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core businesses. The decision followed work by the Board of Directors to evaluate strategic, operational and financial opportunities to maximize stockholder value. The Company anticipates entering into a definitive agreement to sell its B Medical Systems business by November 2025.

 

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 as of November 12, 2024. Results related to the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, were retroactively reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the B Medical Systems segment in accordance with FASB ASC 205.

Disposition of Semiconductor Business

 

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash to Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. On July 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business for $659.8 million to Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) (“Edwards”). Both the semiconductor automation business and the semiconductor cryogenics business are considered discontinued operations. The Company still may have certain indemnification obligations pursuant to claims made under the definitive agreement it entered into with Edwards in connection with the Company’s sale of its semiconductor cryogenics business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Edwards asserted claims for indemnification under the definitive agreement relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to customer warranty claims and inventory (the “2020 Claim”). In addition, in January 2023, Edwards filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York seeking indemnification from the Company under such definitive agreement for $1.0 million and other related damages, including interest and attorney’s fees, arising from a third-party claim that was included as part of their initial claims (the “2023 Claim”).

 

In April 2023, the Company responded to and filed a counterclaim against Edwards for the 2023 Claim alleging breach of the definitive agreements by Edwards and seeking a declaratory judgment. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company and Edwards entered into a settlement agreement related to the 2023 Claim to avoid the costs and uncertainties of potential litigation. Under the settlement agreement, the Company paid Edwards $0.8 million from one of the indemnification escrows established at closing of the sale in return for the release of the 2023 Claim and the release to the Company of $1.0 million from a separate indemnification escrow. The Company accrued a liability of $2.5 million for the 2020 Claim and 2023 Claim of which $0.8 million was paid during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The 2020 Claim remains outstanding and $1.7 million remains in the balance of the accrued liability as of  December 31, 2024.

 

The Company had been informed that Edwards sought recovery for the 2020 Claim from the representation and warranty insurance Edwards obtained in connection with the closing of the sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company was further informed that Edwards agreed to a payment under such insurance for claimed amounts in excess of the applicable indemnification deductibles established under the definitive agreement, but less than the total of claimed amounts submitted for recovery. Although management believes that any indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable deductibles established in the definitive agreement would be covered by such insurance, Edwards is seeking recovery from the Company for claimed amounts purportedly not covered, or inadequately covered, by such insurance (the “Claim for Uncovered Amounts”). The Company cannot determine the probability of any losses or outcome of the Claim for Uncovered Amounts including the amount of any indemnifiable losses, if any, resulting from this claim. The Company, however, does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, in each case, for continuing operations. Any potential expense incurred by the Company for these claims would be reflected in discontinued operations.

 

In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assessment of these claims will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in these 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.

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

 

Unrealized 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.

Hedging Activities

 

On February 1, 2023, 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 $436.0 million for €400.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.66%. The Company designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of its Euro denominated subsidiaries, which requires an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. At the maturity of the cross currency-swap on February 1, 2024, the Company delivered a notional amount of €400 million and received a notional amount of $436.0 million at a Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.09, which included a gain of $1.4 million.

 

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 $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, which requires an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity on February 2, 2026.

 

The cross-currency swaps were recorded as a derivative asset within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” as of December 31, 2024 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and a derivative liability within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” as of  September 30, 2024 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 12, Fair Value Measurements below.

 

Interest earned on the cross-currency swap is recorded within “Interest income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded interest income of $0.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, on these instruments.

Share Repurchases

 

On  November 4, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock (the “2022 Repurchase Authorization”). During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock for $112.9 million (excluding fees, commissions, and excise tax) under this authorization. As of  September 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased and retired 30.0 million shares of common stock for the full $1.5 billion approved under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization. All shares repurchased under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization were retired, accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and treated as a repurchase of common stock for purposes of calculating earnings per share as of the applicable settlement dates. No additional repurchase authorization has been approved and as such there were no shares repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2024. 

 

Effective  January 1, 2023, all corporate share repurchases are subject to a one percent excise tax on the value of the repurchase, net of share issuances, subject to certain exclusions. The excise tax was part of The Inflation Reduction Act passed by the U.S. government in 2022. The Company's accrual for excise tax related to share repurchases is considered an additional cost of the share repurchases and a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company made an excise tax payment of $4.9 million, reducing the excise tax accrual to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

Contract Balances

 

Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable represent 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 $155.0 million and $156.3 million at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, 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 $34.3 million and $28.9 million at December 31, 2024 and  September 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue of $9.2 million recognized during the three months ended  December 31, 2024 and $9.1 million recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2023 contributed to the contract asset balances at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

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” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities were $41.8 million and $30.5 million at December 31, 2024 and  September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of $14.4 million and $21.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 December 31, 2024 was $84.6 million. The following table summarizes when the Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue; the Company will recognize revenue associated with these performance obligations as transfer of control occurs (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2024, the future unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units for continuing operations expected to vest is $34.8 million and is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.9 years.

 

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 three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Restricted stock units granted during the three months ended December 31, 2023 per the table above include 31,475 units for discontinued operations. All restricted stock units granted during the three months ended December 31, 2024 per the table above are for 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 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. 

 

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, 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 based on the three-year daily historical volatility as measured on the grant date, (ii) risk-free interest rate 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.

 

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 executive team. The performance goals, as amended, are more reflective of the 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 potential maximum compensation cost of $3.8 million recognized over the service period through November 2025. The Company recorded expense of $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 related to the modified awards.  ​

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 within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy 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.

 

Available-For-Sale Securities

 

Available-for-sale securities primarily consist of highly rated corporate debt securities, and U.S. government backed 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. 

 

Convertible Debt Securities and Investment in Equity Securities

 

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company purchased $2.0 million principal amount of convertible notes issued by a private company. The Company accounted for the investment in convertible notes at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. As of the conversion date, the fair value of the convertible notes was $2.1 million.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company converted the convertible notes into 420,000 shares of preferred stock of the private company. 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 of the private company because the shares of preferred stock do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the investment in the shares of preferred stock of the private company was $2.1 million and is included in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date and will reduce the carrying value accordingly when an impairment is identified. The fair value determination is based on unobservable inputs (Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy) 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 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.

 

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

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any material other-than-temporary impairments on financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

13. Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by the profits in foreign jurisdictions and current state income taxes in jurisdictions where the Company does not have a net operating loss carryover. Additionally, tax expense is generated on a global loss because the U.S. tax loss is not being benefited due to a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

 

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The tax expense for the three months ended  December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the pre-tax income from foreign operations during the period, a $0.5 million stock compensation shortfall expense for tax deductions that are lower than the associated book compensation expense, and a $0.6 million expense related to a valuation allowance on beginning of year U.S. state deferred tax assets.

    

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 numerous countries under many legal forms and, as a result, is subject to the jurisdiction of numerous domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company evaluates the profitability of its operations in each 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 has generated U.S. pre-tax losses in recent years and provided a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2024. The Company expects to generate a U.S. book loss during fiscal year 2025 and expects a valuation allowance of $11.9 million in the United States against its U.S. net deferred tax assets for fiscal year 2025.

 

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

 

The Company has not provided deferred income taxes on the outside basis difference of any foreign subsidiary and maintains its general assertion of indefinite reinvestment regarding those subsidiaries and the remaining earnings of its German subsidiary as of December 31, 2024.

 

The Company maintains liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits based on its estimates and assumptions. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision or benefit. The Company recognized minimal interest expense related to its unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

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 anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest on those benefits will not be reduced in the next twelve months due to the statute of limitations expirations. These unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

15. Segment and Geographic Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities 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 Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM.

 

As of November 12, 2024, the Company’s B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 and the results of the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations. 

 

The Company’s continuing operations includes the following operating and reportable segments:

 ​

 

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).

 

Multiomics. The Multiomics business resources operate as a single business unit offering genomic and other sample analysis services, including gene sequencing and gene synthesis.

 ​

Management considers adjusted operating income (loss), which excludes charges related to amortization of intangible assets, transformation costs, restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, merger and acquisition costs and costs related to share repurchase, governance-related matters, and other unallocated corporate expenses, as the primary performance metric when evaluating each segment’s operations.

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 in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

16. 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 December 31, 2024 and as of the date of filing of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company believes that, other than the claims related to Edwards disclosed in Note 3, Discontinued Operations, no material provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claims. In the event of 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.

 

Tariff Matter

 

With the assistance of a third-party consultant, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company initiated a review of the value of transactions it used for intercompany imports into the U. S. from its GENEWIZ business. As a result of this review and an interpretation surrounding the valuation method used to calculate the estimated transaction value, the Company revised its estimate of the tariffs owed and paid $5.9 million to U.S. customs authorities in fiscal year 2022 related to transactions prior to  December 2021. In  July 2024, the Company paid approximately $2.5 million in tariffs as well as interest related to the imports from its GENEWIZ business into the U.S. during the period from December 2021 to  July 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not anticipate any penalties associated with this payment because its valuation methodology was accepted by U.S. customs authorities during previous voluntary disclosures. It is expected that U.S. customs authorities will issue the final audit results for these periods in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.

 

Purchase Commitments

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had non-cancellable commitments of $50.1 million, comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $36.0 million and other operating expense commitments of $14.1 million.

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, 2024 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, 2024 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

 

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Error Correction Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revisions to Previously Issued Financial Statements and Financial Information  

 

As previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of its fiscal year 2024 financial statements, the Company identified classification errors in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended  September 30, 2023 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  March 31, 2023,   June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024. Specifically, the Company’s historical classification of the effects of exchange rate changes on the Company’s foreign denominated cash and cash equivalent balances was misclassified between the effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended  September 30, 2023 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company corrected for immaterial classification errors in between cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, and supplemental disclosures for all revised periods. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended  March 31, 2023,   June 30, 2023,  December 31, 2023,  March 31, 2024, and  June 30, 2024 have been revised and disclosed in Note 21, 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company assessed the effect of the errors on prior periods under the guidance of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” codified in ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Based on its assessment, the Company determined that the error correction is not material to any previously issued financial statements. The correction has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated net income, financial position, net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, or total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as previously reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 

 

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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, 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 Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 gains were$0.5 million and losses were $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires the disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures pertaining to significant segment expenses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its disclosures. 

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued 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. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after  December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact its disclosures until fiscal year 2026.

 

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. Effective fiscal year 2026, the Company is required to disclose climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, the Company will be required to disclose the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions within the notes to the financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds. Effective fiscal year 2027, required disclosures will also include disclosure of material direct greenhouse gas emissions from operations owned or controlled (Scope 1) and material indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased energy consumed in owned or controlled operations (Scope 2). In April 2024, the SEC issued an order voluntarily staying the effectiveness of the new rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain legal challenges to their validity. The Company, assuming adoption of the rules, is currently evaluating the impact of these rules and monitoring the status of the related litigation and SEC’s stay, which remains in effect as of December 31, 2024.

 

In 2021, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar II Framework Model Rules (“Pillar 2”), which are designed to impose a 15% global minimum tax on the earnings of in-scope multinational corporations on a country-by-country basis. Certain aspects of Pillar 2 took effect on  January 1, 2024 while other aspects go into effect on  January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not expect to meet the consolidated revenue threshold of €750 million over the next twelve months.

 

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. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

[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 in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan, and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.
[2] Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.
