Conflict in Iran
Current report
On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel began a military operation targeting Iranian nuclear sites, military infrastructure, and top leadership. Iran has retaliated with attacks on infrastructure assets and United States and Israeli military bases in the Middle East, as well as a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for oil and liquified natural gas, among other commodities. As a result of the conflict, prices for these and other impacted commodities have increased sharply, causing volatility in the global economic markets. If the conflict or geopolitical tensions continue or worsen, it could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We are monitoring the regional and global ramifications of the events unfolding.

Loss on Impairment of Intangible Assets
Current report
The three months ended April 30, 2025 included a loss on impairment of intangible assets of $62.0 million, or 6.6% of net sales. There was no loss on impairment of intangible assets for the three months ended April 30, 2026. The fiscal 2025 impairment expense included $46.6 million related to Univercells Technologies, reflecting lower-than-anticipated bioprocessing capital spending, particularly for early-stage assets, while drug development timelines are longer than previously anticipated. The remaining $15.4 million of impairment expense was related to Solaris as market demand for industrial bioreactors had significantly declined.
Current report
The three months ended April 30, 2025 included a gain on sale of fixed assets of $1.2 million, or 0.1% of net sales. The gain on sale of fixed assets was driven by the sale of land and a building associated with footprint optimization initiatives in the prior year. There was no gain on the sale of fixed assets in the three months ended April 30, 2026.
Current report
The effective tax rate was 23.7% and 33.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to the tax impact resulting from the loss on impairment of intangible assets in the three months ended April 30, 2025. Excluding the prior year impact of the loss on impairment of intangible assets, the effective tax rate is higher due to a decrease in discrete tax benefits.
Current report
Net earnings for the three months ended April 30, 2026 were $118.1 million, compared with $57.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025, an increase of $60.3 million, or 104.4%.

Reworded paragraphs (33)
Previous wording
The U.S. imposed tariffs on a wide range of imports, with the potential for further tariff actions, which resulted in retaliatory tariffs. These trade measures, along with updates to export controls and sanctions regimes, pose ongoing risks to global supply chains, potentially increasing the cost of goods, straining procurement cycles and impacting customer demand. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision concluding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not provide authority for the President to impose tariffs. Certain tariffs that affected us were imposed under this statute pursuant to presidential executive order. The extent and timing of any potential recoveries of tariffs previously paid remain subject to further legal interpretation and administrative processes. We will continue to monitor developments and will evaluate the effect of the ruling on future reporting periods as additional information becomes available. The Company is closely monitoring the evolving trade landscape, as well as its ability to mitigate the impact of tariffs and its analysis of the potential impact. The Company will continue to utilize its global manufacturing footprint and supply chain to mitigate the cost impact of tariffs.

These trade measures, along with updates to export controls and sanctions regimes, pose ongoing risks to global supply chains, potentially increasing the cost of goods, straining procurement cycles and impacting customer demand. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision concluding that the IEEPA does not provide authority for the President to impose tariffs. Certain tariffs that affected us were imposed under this statute pursuant to presidential executive order. On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA duties. The situation continues to evolve, and further legislative, regulatory, or judicial developments may affect the ultimate outcome and the availability or timing of any refunds. As of April 30, 2026, we did not record an asset related to the potential refund. We will continue to evaluate new developments and would record a potential refund under a loss recovery model pursuant to ASC 410-30 if the requirements are met. We are closely monitoring the evolving trade landscape, as well as our ability to mitigate the impact of tariffs and our analysis of the potential impact. We will continue to utilize our global manufacturing footprint and supply chain to mitigate the cost impact of tariffs.
Previous wording
Any additional tariffs in the U.S. or retaliatory tariffs imposed by other governments could exacerbate the impact. Any new, substantial tariff increases on imports to the U.S. from Mexico, China and the European Union (EU) should they be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, could have a significant adverse effect on the Company and its supply chain.
