(Dollar amounts in thousands except shares)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Neogen Corporation and subsidiaries ("Neogen," "we," "our" or the "Company") develop, manufacture and market a diverse line of products and services dedicated to food and animal safety. Our Food Safety segment consists primarily of diagnostic test kits and complementary products (e.g., culture media) sold to food producers and processors to detect dangerous and/or unintended substances in human food and animal feed, such as foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, natural toxins, food allergens, genetic modifications, ruminant by-products, meat speciation, drug residues, pesticide residues and general sanitation concerns. The majority of the test kits are disposable, single-use, immunoassay and DNA detection products that rely on proprietary antibodies and RNA and DNA testing methodologies to produce rapid and accurate test results. Our expanding line of food safety products also includes genomics-based diagnostic technology, and advanced software systems that help testers objectively analyze and store, as well as perform analysis on, their results from multiple locations over extended periods.

Neogen’s Animal Safety segment is engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of veterinary instruments, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, topicals, parasiticides, diagnostic products, cleaners, biosecurity products and genomics testing services for the worldwide animal safety market. The majority of these consumable products are marketed through veterinarians, retailers, livestock producers and animal health product distributors. Our line of drug detection products is sold worldwide for the detection of abused and therapeutic drugs in animals and animal products, and has expanded into the workplace and human forensic markets.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Neogen and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations during the three and six months ended November 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance for our fiscal year 2025 annual reporting and are currently finalizing our assessment of the impact that this standard will have on our segment disclosures.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This guidance becomes effective for our fiscal year 2026 annual reporting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company derives revenue from two primary sources—product revenue and service revenue.

Product revenue consists of shipments of:

•

Diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation;

•

Consumable products marketed to veterinarians, retailers, livestock producers and animal health product distributors; and

•

Biosecurity products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Revenues for our products are recognized and invoiced when the product is shipped to the customer.

Service revenue consists primarily of:

•

Genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services;

•

Neogen Analytics; and

•

Other commercial laboratory services.

Revenues for Neogen’s genomics and commercial laboratory services are recognized and invoiced when the applicable laboratory service is performed and the results are conveyed to the customer. Revenues for Neogen Analytics is earned ratably over the term of the underlying agreement.

Payment terms for products and services are generally 30 to 90 days.

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation(s) and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. These customer deposits are recorded within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the balances relate primarily to sales of the Company's genomics services and Neogen Analytics.

The following table summarizes contract liabilities by period:

The following table presents disaggregated revenue by major product and service categories during thethree and six months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023:

3. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The calculation ofnet loss per share follows:

Due to the net loss reported for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024 and the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, the dilutive stock options and RSUs were anti-dilutive.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

The Company hastwo reportable segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. The Food Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of diagnostic test kits and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. The Animal Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of products dedicated to animal safety, including a complete line of consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors. This segment also provides genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services. Additionally, the Animal Safety segment produces and markets biosecurity products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Many of our international operations originally focused on the Company’s food safety products, and each of these units reports through the Food Safety segment. In recent years, these operations have expanded to offer the Company’s complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Animal Safety segment such as biosecurity products, veterinary instruments and genomics services. These additional products and services are managed and directed by existing management and are reported through the Food Safety segment.

Segment information follows:

(1)

Includes corporate assets, including cash and cash equivalents, current and deferred tax accounts and overhead expenses not allocated to specific business segments, and excludes intersegment transactions.

(1)

Excludes intersegment transactions.

5. GOODWILL

The following table summarizes goodwill by reportable segment:

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company identified that the impact of integration challenges and end market conditions on the recent overall financial performance of the Food Safety reporting unit represented a triggering event to test goodwill within that reporting unit for impairment as of September 1, 2024. Management utilized a third-party to quantitatively assess its Food Safety reporting unit. Fair value of the reporting unit was estimated based on a combination of an income-based approach, consisting of a discounted cash flows analysis, and a market-based approach, consisting of pricing multiples derived from an analysis of comparable public companies multiplied against historical and/or anticipated financial metrics of the reporting unit. The inputs to the fair value are defined in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3 inputs. Based on the results of the analysis, the carrying value of the Food Safety reporting unit exceeded its fair value as of September 1, 2024. Accordingly, an impairment charge of $461,390 was recorded. Differences in the balance sheet change and impairment charge are due to foreign exchange.

6. RESTRUCTURING

The Company regularly evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented certain restructuring initiatives, including consolidation of facilities throughout the world and rationalization of its operations. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, management initiated a restructuring plan primarily designed to focus the end market exposure and streamline the operations of the Company's global genomics business.

The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance payments, costs for outplacement services, and post-employment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), other related exit costs and asset impairment charges related to restructuring activities. These amounts are partially recorded within cost of service revenues and partially recorded within general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restructuring charges by segment were as follows:

Restructuring activity for thesix months ended November 30, 2024 was as follows:

7. INCOME TAXES

Income tax benefit was$20,290 and$23,290 during the three and six months ended November 30, 2024, respectively. Income tax benefit was$260 and$100 during thethree and six months ended November 30, 2023. The net tax benefit for the quarter is primarily related to pre-tax losses due to amortization expense and interest expense from the 3M FSD acquisition. Additionally, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $9,225 during the quarter as a result of a goodwill impairment charge. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar 2 global minimum tax rules, which generally provide for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, are intended to apply for tax years beginning in 2024. The Company is closely monitoring developments and evaluating the impact these new rules will have on its tax rate, including eligibility to qualify for certain safe harbors. Where no safe harbor is met, the Company has included a forecasted amount of “top-up” tax for its foreign subsidiaries as required under the applicable rules of the countries that have adopted the Pillar Two directives, in its income tax benefit for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024 were $3,691 and $2,739, respectively. Increases in unrecognized tax benefits are primarily associated with the acquired 3M FSD, including positions for transfer pricing and research and development credits.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in environmental remediation and monitoring activities at its Randolph, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and accrues for related costs, when such costs are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company currently utilizes a pump and treat remediation strategy, which includes semi-annual monitoring and reporting, consulting, and maintenance of monitoring wells. These annual remediation costs are expensed and have ranged from $38 to $131 per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated remaining liability for these costs is $916 as of both November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years. In fiscal 2019, the Company performed an updated Corrective Measures Study on the site, per a request from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ("WDNR"), and is currently working with the WDNR regarding potential alternative remediation strategies going forward. The Company believes that the current pump and treat strategy is appropriate for the site. In fiscal 2022, in collaboration with the WDNR, the Company initiated an in-situ chemical remediation pilot study, which ran over a two-year period. The results of this study were submitted to the WDNR as part of our standard annual report. If the WDNR were to require a change from the current pump and treat remediation strategy, this change could result in an increase in future costs and, ultimately, an increase in the currently recorded liability, with an offsetting charge to operations in the period recorded. The Company has recorded $100 as a current liability as of November 30, 2024, and the remaining $816 is recorded inother non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is subject to certain legal and other proceedings in the normal course of business that, in the opinion of management, are not expected to have a material effect on its future results of operations or financial position.

9. DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE

Derivatives

The Company operates on a global basis and is exposed to the risk that its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions and has also entered into interest rate swap contracts as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. On the date the derivative is established, the Company designates the derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge in accordance with its established policy. Each reporting period, derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The change in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and amounts are reclassified into earnings on the condensed consolidated statements of operations when transactions are realized. Derivatives that are not determined to be effective hedges are adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company forecasts its net exposure in various receivables and payables to fluctuations in the value of various currencies, and has entered into a number of foreign currency forward contracts each month to mitigate that exposure. These contracts are recorded net at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses from these contracts are recognized in other income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional amount of forward contracts in place was $88,753 and $70,315 as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to January 2025.

The location and amount of gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations were as follows:

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

In November 2022, the Company entered into a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a $250,000 notional value, which is designated as a cash flow hedge. In accordance with the agreement, the notional value decreased to $200,000 in November 2024. This agreement fixed a portion of the variable interest due on our term loan facility, with an effective date of December 2, 2022 and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 4.215%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 150 to 225 basis points and receive a variable rate of interest based on term SOFR from the counterparty, which is reset according to the duration of the SOFR term. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024 was a net (liability) asset of ($978) and $2,451, respectively. The Company expects to reclassify a $109 gainof accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the next 12 months.

We record the fair value of our interest rate swaps on a recurring basis using Level 2 observable market inputs for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments other than cash equivalents and marketable securities, which include accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

10. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accumulated other comprehensive loss changes by component, net of related tax, were as follows:
