Current report
Uncertainties related to the development, deployment and use of AI to advance our product offerings and improve internal operations may result in harm to our business and reputation.
Current report
We are advancing AI across our product and service offerings, and we are in the initial phases of expanding AI into the core functions of our business. The development and deployment of AI presents both risks and opportunities, and the implementation process could adversely impact the operations of our business as a whole. AI algorithms utilized in the deployment may be flawed or based on datasets that are biased or insufficient, and do not adequately take into account the underlying nature of our business. Failure to adequately train our employees during the deployment of AI could adversely impact our business or result in delays or errors in our offerings. Our competitiveness could also be negatively impacted by our failure to timely develop or deploy AI in our products and services, particularly if our competitors are successful in AI advancements in their products and services. The development of AI technology will require significant investment in resources and human capital and could increase our costs. There is uncertainty related to the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding rapidly evolving AI technologies, particularly in the areas of cybersecurity, intellectual property, and privacy and data protection. Failure to comply or appropriately respond to this developing landscape may result in increased legal liability, adverse regulatory action, or reputational damage.
Current report
We cannot predict the scope, timing, or impact of threatened U.S. tariffs on imports, the extent to which other countries may impose retaliatory trade restrictions, or the terms of future trade policy changes. Tariffs implemented during fiscal year 2025 increased our cost of revenue by approximately $25 million and reduced our gross margin by approximately $20 million, primarily affecting products manufactured in Europe for the U.S. market. While we have implemented mitigation strategies including manufacturing optimization, supplier collaboration, pricing adjustments, and temporary cost measures, these actions may not fully offset the impact of existing or future tariffs. Additional tariffs or trade restrictions may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and competitive position.

Previous wording
Our customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, laboratories, academic and research institutions, public health authorities, private healthcare organizations, doctors and government agencies. Our quarterly revenue and results of operations are highly dependent on the volume and timing of orders received during the quarter. In addition, our revenues and earnings forecasts for future quarters are often based on the expected trends in our markets. However, the markets we serve do not always experience the trends that we may expect. Negative fluctuations in our customers’ markets, the inability of our customers to secure credit or funding, rest rictions in capital expenditures, general economic conditions, cuts in government funding, deficit reduction efforts or other actions that reduce or freeze the availability of government funding for healthcare and research or unfavorable changes in government regulations would likely result in a reduction in demand for our products and services and additional pricing pressures, as well as create potential collection risk associated with those sales. In addition, government funding is subject to economic conditions and the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Our revenues may be adversely affected if our customers delay or reduce purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals or reductions in government funding. Such declines could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and trading price of our common stock, and could limit our ability to sustain profitability.

In addition, government funding is subject to economic conditions and the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Recently announced and proposed changes in U.S. funding and regulations have created a more cautious spending environment for our customers and could cause them to become more conservative with both instrumentation and consumable purchases due to funding and regulatory uncertainty. Our revenues may be adversely affected if our customers delay or reduce purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government or industrial funding proposals or reductions in government funding. Such declines could harm our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and trading price of our common stock, and could limit our ability to sustain profitability.
Previous wording
Our business is affected by global economic and political conditions as well as the state of the financial markets, particularly as the United States and other countries balance concerns around debt, inflation, trade protectionism, growth and budget allocations in their policy initiatives. There can be no assurance that global economic conditions and financial markets will not worsen and that we will not experience any adverse effects that may be material to our consolidated cash flows, results of operations, financial position or our ability to access capital, such as the adverse effects resulting from a prolonged shutdown in government operations both in the United States and internationally. Our business is also affected by local economic environments, including inflation, recession, financial liquidity, interest rates and currency volatility or devaluation. Environmental events and political changes, including trade barriers and tariffs, and war or other conflicts, such as the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, some of which may be disruptive, could interfere with our supply chain, our customers and all of our activities in a particular location.

Previous wording
The production of our products requires a wide variety of raw materials, key components and other goods that are generally available from alternate sources of supply. However, certain critical raw materials, key components and other goods required for the production and sale of some of our principal products are available from limited or single sources of supply. We generally have multi-year contracts with no minimum purchase requirements with these suppliers, but those contracts may not fully protect us from a failure by certain suppliers to supply critical materials or from the delays inherent in being required to change suppliers and, in some cases, validate new raw materials. Such raw materials, key components and other goods can usually be obtained from alternative sources with the potential for an increase in price, decline in quality or delay in delivery. A prolonged inability to obtain certain raw materials, key components or other goods is possible and could have an adverse effect on our business operations, and could damage our relationships with customers. In addition, global health crises or pandemics, changes in trade policy, wars, conflicts, or other changes in a country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, could have a significant adverse effect on our supply chain.

As of December 29, 2024, our total assets included $9.1 billion of net intangible assets. Net intangible assets consist principally of goodwill associated with acquisitions and costs associated with securing patent rights, trademark rights, customer relationships, core technology and technology licenses, net of accumulated amortization. We test goodwill at least annually for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value of the reporting unit to which it is assigned. All of our amortizing intangible assets are also evaluated for impairment should events occur that call into question the value of the intangible assets.

Previous wording
The healthcare industry, including the genetic screening market, is subject to extensive and frequently changing international and United States federal, state and local laws and regulations. In addition, legislative provisions relating to healthcare fraud and abuse, patient privacy violations and misconduct involving government insurance programs provide federal enforcement personnel with substantial powers and remedies to pursue suspected violations. We believe that our business will continue to be subject to increasing regulation as the federal government continues to strengthen its position on healthcare matters, the scope and effect of which we cannot predict. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil and criminal damages, fines and penalties, exclusion from participation in governmental healthcare programs, and the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations necessary to operate our business, as well as incur liabilities from third-party claims, all of which could have a significant adverse effect on our business.
