Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. These financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all subsidiaries and entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity, the Company applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (i) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in entities that it does not control, but in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Nature of the Business

Fulgent Genetics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries and affiliated professional corporations, or PCs (collectively referred to as the Company, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires), is a technology-based company with a well-established laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business. Its laboratory services business includes technical laboratory services and testing services and professional interpretation of laboratory results by licensed physicians. Its therapeutic development business is focused on developing drug candidates for treating a broad range of cancers using a novel nanoencapsulation and targeted therapy platform designed to improve the therapeutic window and pharmacokinetic profile of new and existing cancer drugs. The Company aims to transform from a genomic diagnostic business into a fully integrated precision medicine company.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 28, 2025, or the 2024 Annual Report, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or any other period. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report, including the notes thereto.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025, or the 2024 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are based on historical data and experience available at the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as various other factors management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, primarily those related to: (i) revenue recognition criteria, (ii) accounts receivable and allowances for credit losses, (iii) the useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, (iv) estimates of tax liabilities, (v) valuation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at time of acquisition and on a recurring basis, and (vi) valuation of investments.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible trade accounts receivable, which is recorded as an offset to trade accounts receivable, and changes in allowance for credit losses are classified as a general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing trade accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when it identifies specific customers that have deterioration in credit quality such that they may no longer share similar risk characteristics with the other receivables. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company uses a loss rate model or probability-of-default and loss given default model. Following the loss rate method, expected credit losses are determined based on an estimated historical loss rate. The probability of default method allows the ability to define a point of default and measure credit losses for receivables that have reached the point of default for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. Loss given default represents the likelihood that a receivable that has reached the point of default will not be collected in full. The Company updates its loss rate and factors annually to incorporate the most recent historical data and adjusts the quantitative portion of the reserve through its qualitative reserve overlay. The Company looks at qualitative factors such as general economic conditions in determining expected credit losses.

Aroll-forward of the activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, dollars in thousands, is as follows:

Allowance for credit losses at beginning of year$20,458
Current period provision2,075
Write-downs(1,643)
Recoveries of amounts previously charged off45
Allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2025$20,935

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, unless determined to be indefinite-lived, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis with definite lives generally over periods ranging from three to 14 years. See Note 14, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for details of intangible assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying amount of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

In-process research & development, or IPR&D, costs are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. If and when development is complete, the associated assets would be deemed finite-lived and would then be amortized based on their respective estimated useful lives at that point in time.

The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company may choose to bypass a qualitative assessment of impairment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to performing a quantitative assessment. An impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

The Company’s quantitative assessment includes estimating the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing it to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of reporting units using both income-based and market-based valuation methods and typically engages a third-party appraisal firm to assist with the valuation. The estimated fair value for each reporting unit is determined based upon the range of estimated values developed from the income and market-based methods. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not impaired, and no further review is required.

The income-based fair value methodology is based on a reporting unit’s forecasted future cash flows that are discounted to the present value using the reporting unit’s weighted-average cost of capital, or WACC. Under the income-based approach, it requires management’s assumptions and judgments regarding economic conditions in the markets in which the company operates and conditions in the capital markets, many of which are outside of management’s control. The market-based fair value methodology looks atthe guideline public company valuation method to determine the prices of comparable public companies and looks at merger and acquisition methods, similar businesses that were sold recently, to estimate the value of the reporting units. Under the market-based approach, judgment is required in evaluating market multiples and recent transactions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade accounts receivable, restricted cash, a redeemable preferred stock investment, preferred stock investments, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of certain of these financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Fair value of marketable securities, the redeemable preferred stock investment, and the preferred stock investments is disclosed in Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk, Customers, and Suppliers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and marketable securities. As of March 31, 2025, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in accounts at financial institutions, and amounts typically exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which its cash and cash equivalents are held.

In certain periods, a small number of customers has accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s revenue. For the laboratory services segment, aggregating customers under common control, one customer comprised of$17.6 million, or 24%, of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and$12.6 million, or 20%, of the Company’s revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The same customer comprised 21% of total accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2025, and 15% of total accounts receivable, net, as of December 31, 2024. For the therapeutic development segment, the Company does not have customers or revenue as it does not have any commercialized or approved drug candidates.

The Company’s therapeutic development business relies on ANP Technologies, Inc., or ANP, for certain laboratory services, equipment, tools, and drug intermediates in connection with research and development efforts. The Company also relies on a limited number of suppliers for certain laboratory substances used in the chemical reactions incorporated into its processes, referred to as reagents, as well as for the sequencers and various other equipment and materials it uses in its laboratory operations. In particular, the Company relies on a sole supplier for the next generation sequencers and associated reagents it uses to perform its genetic tests and as the sole provider of maintenance and repair services for these sequencers. The Company’s laboratory operations would be interrupted if it encountered delays or difficulties securing these reagents, sequencers, other equipment or materials or maintenance and repair services, which could occur for a variety of reasons, including if the Company needs a replacement or temporary substitute for any of its limited or sole suppliers and is not able to locate and make arrangements with an acceptable replacement or temporary substitute. The Company’s development efforts could also be delayed or interrupted if it is unable to procure items needed for its therapeutic development activities. The Company believes there are currently only a few other manufacturers that are capable of supplying and servicing some of the equipment and other materials necessary for its laboratory operations, including sequencers and various associated reagents.

Reportable Segment and Geographic Information

Reporting segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company reports its business intwo segments, a laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business. For further financial information about these segments, including information for each of the periods presented regarding revenue, operating income (loss), and other important information, see Note 7, Reportable Segment and Geographic Information, to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Currency Transactions

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in foreign currency translation gain (loss) included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

The Company and its subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period, and reagents and supplies, property, and nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates. Gains and losses from these measurements are included in other income, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Losses from foreign currency exchange were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The annual effective tax rate is based upon several significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pre-tax income (loss) of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss consists of net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax, and foreign currency translation adjustments from the Company’s subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. There wereno reclassifications from other comprehensive loss to net loss in thethree months ended March 31, 2025. Reclassifications from other comprehensive loss to net loss were$0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The tax effect related to net unrealized gain or loss on the available-for-sale debt securities waszero in thethree months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, due to the valu ation allowance in the current period that precludes the Company from recognizing the deferred tax benefit.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company classifies its customers into three payor types: (i) Institutional, including hospitals, medical institutions, other laboratories, governmental bodies, municipalities, and large corporations, (ii) Insurance, or (iii) Patients who pay directly, as the Company believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers by payor type for thethree months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
(in thousands)
Revenue by payor
Institutional$41,324$33,604
Insurance30,74430,043
Patients1,395838
Total revenue$73,463$64,485

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company experienced a change in estimate related to variable consideration, leading to the recognition of$1.2 million variable consideration, that related to COVID-19 test services completed in the prior periods due to collection efforts. This was included as revenue from insurance in the table above. There waszero such variable consideration recognized in thethree months ended March 31, 2025. The Company estimates variable consideration using the expected value method. Any changes in variable consideration estimates that affect transactions are accounted for on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Contract Balances

Receivables from contracts with customers -Receivables from contracts with customers are included within trade accounts receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Receivables from Insurance and Institutional customers represented 41% and 59%, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, and 44% and 56%, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

Contract assets and liabilities - Contract assets from contracts with customers associated with contract execution and certain costs to fulfill a contract are included in other current assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities are recorded when the Company receives payment prior to completing its obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer. Contract liabilities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues of$0.1 million and$0.9 million were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, related to contract liabilities at the beginning of the respective periods.

Prior Period Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, the Company has separated income taxes from its previous inclusion in other current and long-term assets and separated customer deposits, and contract liabilities from its previous inclusion in accrued liabilities and other liabilities. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company has also separated interest income, and interest expenses from its previous inclusion in other income (expense), net. In Note 6. Other Significant Balance Sheet Accounts, the Company has consolidated accrued legal liabilities with other accrued liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Updates, or ASUs, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, for consideration of their applicability. ASUs not included in the Company’s disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures. This update requires more detailed information on certain income tax disclosures including the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2024, for public entities, and early adoption is permitted. This update is intended to result in enhanced income tax disclosures, and the Company does not expect any impact to income tax expense.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. Amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure.

The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company did not recognize any credit losses for its marketable available-for-sale debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework with respect to measuring assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the framework, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as of the measurement date. The framework also establishes a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1:Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, based on the above three-tier fair value hierarchy:

The Company’s Level 1 assets include U.S. treasury bills and money market instruments and are valued based upon observable market prices. Level 2 assets consist of U.S. government and U.S. agency debt securities, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities and Yankee debt securities. Level 2 securities are valued based upon observable inputs that include reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, bids and offers. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had preferred stock of two privately-held companies, which were included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that were measured using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. For the value of the investment in private equity securities, the Company elected to measure them at cost minus impairment, as the preferred stock of the privately-held companies did not have a readily determinable fair value, and no impairment loss was recorded as of March 31, 2025.

There wereno transfers between fair value measurement levels during thethree months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

Note 7. Reportable Segment and Geographic Information

The Company hastwo distinct reportable segments. The laboratory services operating segment offers technical laboratory and testing services and professional interpretation of laboratory results by licensed physicians who specialize in pathology and oncology. The therapeutic development operating segment is a pharmaceutical research and development entity.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as its Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM. The CODM oversees the Company’s operations and evaluates financial data for itstwo operating segments separately to make resource allocation decisions. The financial information regularly provided to the CODM includes various performance metrics by reporting segment, such as gross profit, operating income or loss, income or loss before income taxes, net income or loss from consolidated operations, and net income or loss attributable to Fulgent, all presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the CODM receives these metrics on a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the impact of equity-based compensation expenses, goodwill impairment losses, amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring costs, if applicable. Although multiple financial metrics are provided, the CODM primarily relies on adjusted operating income or loss to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The balance sheet is presented on a consolidated basis, as the CODM does not use asset or liability information, including fixed assets, to assess segment performance. As a result, segment asset and liability details are not disclosed.

There is no inter-segment allocation of interest expense and income taxes. There is no inter-segment revenue and operating income or loss. The Company did not allocate income tax by segment.

Operating and Finance Leases

See Note 9, Leases, for further information.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Company has received a Civil Investigative Demand, or CID, issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, or the DOJ, pursuant to the False Claims Act related to its investigation of allegations of medically unnecessary laboratory testing, improper billing for laboratory testing, and remuneration received or provided in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law. Among other things, this CID requests information and records relating to certain of the Company’s customers named in this CID.

Similar to other laboratories in the industry, the Company has been subject to an audit by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, or HRSA, with respect to its reimbursement for COVID-19 tests furnished to patients believed to be uninsured. The Company recorded approximately $548.9 million ofreimbursements from HRSA under the Uninsured Program during theyears ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. There is uncertainty with respect to the methodology HRSA will use in its audit and whether and how HRSA will extrapolate audit results. The Company has provided HRSA’s auditors with requested information in connection with its audit in an effort to resolve any issues related to its audit, including any reimbursed amounts that may need to be returned to HRSA. The Company has also received a CID issued by the DOJ pursuant to the False Claims Act related to the DOJ’s investigation as to whether the Company submitted or caused to be submitted false claims to the Uninsured Program.

The Company is fully cooperating with the DOJ in connection with the CIDs that it has received. The Company cannot currently predict when these CIDs and HRSA audit matters will be resolved, the reasonable or likely outcome of these matters, or their potential impact, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, and financial condition. These matters are not formal claims, and discussions and investigations remain ongoing. As such, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from any material government investigations, audits, and reviews in which it is currently involved, given the inherent difficulty in predicting regulatory action, fines and penalties, if any, and the various remedies and levels of judicial review available to the Company in the event of an adverse finding. As a result, the Company has not recorded any liability related to these CIDs or audit matters.

In addition, and as previously disclosed, the SEC was conducting a non-public formal investigation, which related to (i) the matters raised in the requests for the CID regarding allegations of medically unnecessary laboratory testing, improper billing for laboratory testing, and remuneration received or provided in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and the Stark Law and (ii) the Company’s Exchange Act reports filed for 2018 through 2020. On May 6, 2024, the SEC staff advised the Company that the SEC staff made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company based on a corporate negligence theory, which, if authorized, would have alleged violations of the Securities and Exchange Act. In April 2025, the SEC advised the Company that it had concluded this investigation, with no enforcement action recommended. The Company previously recorded a $1.0 million potential liability with respect to this matter and is no longer recording any potential liability in connection with this matter.

Note 9. Leases

Lessee

The Company is party as a lessee to various non-cancelable operating leases with varying terms through March 2034 primarily for laboratory and office space and equipment. The Company has options to renew some of these leases after their expirations. On a lease-by-lease basis, the Company considers such options, which may be elected at the Company’s sole discretion, in determining the lease term. The Company also has various finance leases for lab equipment with varying terms through December 2026, of which, some were acquired in business combinations. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. The Company’s operating lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees, material restrictive covenants, bargain purchase options, or asset retirement obligations.

The Company’s headquarters are located in El Monte, California, which is comprised of various corporate offices and a laboratory certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, or CLIA, accredited by the College of American Pathologists, or CAP, and licensed by the State of California Department of Public Health. Other CLIA-certified laboratories are located in Coppell, Texas; Needham, Massachusetts; Phoenix, Arizona; and Alpharetta, Georgia. The Company is also in the process of obtaining NATA accreditation in Dulwich, Australia.

The operating and finance lease right-of-use asset, short-term lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows:

Lessor

The Company previously leased out space in buildings it owns to third-party tenants under noncancelable operating leases. As of March 31, 2025, there were no noncancelable operating leases remaining. Lease income primarily represents fixed lease payments from tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Variable lease income represents tenant payments for real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

The lease income was included in other income, net, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the lease income waszero for thethree months ended March 31, 2025, and not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2024. There areno future lease payments from tenants expected, as there were no remaining noncancelable operating leases as of March 31, 2025.

Note 10. Equity-Based Compensation

The Company has included equity-based compensation expense as part of cost of revenue and operating expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company recorded consolidated provision for (benefit from) income taxes of$0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to($0.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate was(2%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in the effective tax rate compared to prior periods is due to the valuation allowance in the current period that precludes the Company from recognizing the benefit from net operating losses.

The Company is under examination by certain tax authorities for the 2020 to 2021 tax years. While the timing of the conclusion of the examination is uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts have been reserved for adjustments that may result. During 2025, the statutes of limitations will lapse on the Company’s 2021 federal tax year and certain 2020 and 2021 state tax years. The Company does not believe the federal or state statute lapses or any other event will significantly impact the balance of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.

The Company received$1.7 million and$6.2 million in income tax refunds in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The income tax refunds received were not netted in the income tax paid amounts included in the supplemental disclosure in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had outstanding stock options and restricted stock units that were excluded from the weighted-average share calculation for continuing operations due to the Company’s net loss positions. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company also had contingently issuable shares for shares held back in connection with the business combination of Fulgent Pharma, or Pharma Hold Back Shares. In May 2024, the Company released the remaining Pharma Hold Back Shares such that no shares remain contingently issuable in connection with the business combination of Fulgent Pharma.

Note 13. Related Party

Ming Hsieh, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board of Directors, is on the board of directors and an approximately 20% owner of ANP, with which the Company entered into certain drug-related licensing and development service agreements. The Chief Executive Officer of Fulgent Pharma, Ray Yin, is the Founder, President and Chief Technology Officer of ANP. The Company incurred $0.4 million and$0.7 million related to the licensing and development services in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company owed$0.2 million to ANP in connection with these relationships. The Company also entered into an employee service agreement with ANP in April 2023 and recognized an insignificant amount and$0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Insignificant amounts were owed to the Company by ANP in connection with the employee service agreement as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Note 14. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

There was no change in the carrying amount in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Goodwill as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was$22.1 million, all of which was related to the therapeutic development business.

The Company has identified its laboratory services business and its therapeutic development business as itstwo operating segments, and the Company determined that the operating segments represented thetwo reporting units.

The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on December 31st of each year and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment.

Therapeutic Development

Based upon the results of the quantitative assessments the Company performed as of December 31, 2024, the Company concluded that the fair values of the therapeutic development reporting unit and the IPR&D asset at December 31, 2024, were greater than the carrying values and that there was no impairment. There have been no significant changes in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions management made for the purposes of the goodwill or IPR&D impairment analysis will prove to be accurate predictions of future performance. It is possible that the conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or intangible assets could change in future periods. Management will continue to monitor the therapeutic development reporting unit. For all IPR&D projects, there are major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of development and commercialization of these drug candidates, including the ability to confirm their efficacy based on data from clinical trials, the ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, and the ability to successfully complete these tasks within budgeted costs. The Company is not able to market a human therapeutic without obtaining regulatory approvals, and such approvals require completing clinical trials that demonstrate a drug candidate is safe and effective. In addition, the availability and extent of coverage and reimbursement from insurance payors, including government healthcare programs and private insurance plans, impact the revenues a product can generate. Consequently, the eventual realized value, if any, of these acquired IPR&D projects may vary from their estimated fair values.

Summaries of intangible assets balances as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows:

Acquisition-related intangibles included in the above tables are generally finite-lived and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, except for IPR&D, which is related to the acquisition of Fulgent Pharma in 2022 and has an indefinite life until research and development efforts are completed or abandoned. All other finite-lived acquisition-related intangibles related to the business combinations are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized.

Amortization of intangible assets was$2.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

Based on the carrying value of intangible assets recorded as of March 31, 2025, and assuming no subsequent impairment of the underlying assets, the annual amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to be as follows:
