Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2025

  1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Standard BioTools Inc. (“Standard BioTools” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in South San Francisco, California.

The Company develops, manufactures and sells a diversified range of instrumentation, consumables, and services that help scientists and biomedical researchers develop better therapeutics faster. Its proprietary multi-omics tools provide unique insights into human health, immune response, and disease states across a broad range of applications, including proteomics and genomics, and other areas of translational and clinical research.

The Company works with leading academic, government, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, plant and animal research, and clinical laboratories worldwide, focusing on the most pressing needs in translational and clinical research, including oncology, immunology, and immunotherapy.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding financial reporting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2025, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Financial Statements”) included in the Company's Annual Report.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

Segment Reporting

The Company identifies operating and reportable segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is its CODM. The Company reassesses its operating segments when facts and circumstances suggest that there may have been a change in the way that the Company is managed.

Historically, the Company has managed its business astwo operating and reportable segments: proteomics and genomics. Subsequent to the completion of its merger (the “Merger”) with SomaLogic, Inc. (“SomaLogic”) on January 5, 2024, the CODM continued managing the business as proteomics and genomics segments, with SomaLogic attributed to the proteomics segment. During the first quarter of 2025, after the full integration of SomaLogic and assessment of 2024 results, the CODM evaluated how the fully integrated, combined company should be managed. Subsequently, the CODM began managing the business on a consolidated basis, as a multi-omics company. Therefore, the Company reassessed its operating and reportable segments, concluding that it has one operating and reportable segment: the consolidated company.

Due to the resegmentation that was implemented commencing with the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the current segment presentation. See Note 12, Segment Reporting, for more information on the new reportable segment. See Note 4, Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets, for the allocation of goodwill to the new reportable segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions which form the basis of amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the identification of performance obligations in contracts with customers; standalone selling prices of the Company's performance obligations; timing of revenue recognition; fair value measurements; net realizable value of inventory; income taxes; the fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations; and impairment of long-lived assets (property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill) . The Company bases its estimates on current facts and circumstances, historical experience, forecasted results, and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. The Company obtains reports from third-party valuation experts to inform and support estimates related to certain fair value measurements.

Recent Accounting Changes and Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), to improve disclosures about an entity's expenses. Upon adoption, we will be required to disclose in the notes to the financial statements a disaggregation of certain expense categories included within the expense captions on the face of the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

  1. Business Combinations

SomaLogic

On January 5, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the Merger with SomaLogic, whereby SomaLogic and its subsidiaries became wholly owned subsidiaries of Standard BioTools. Upon completion of the Merger, each share of SomaLogic common stock was exchanged for 1.11 shares of the Company's common stock. The fair value of the consideration transferred in connection with the Merger was $444.2 million. As a result of the Merger, the Company recognized a gain on bargain purchase of $25.2 million. The purchase accounting for the Merger was finalized as of December 31, 2024, and no measurement period adjustments were recorded subsequent to the Closing Date.

Sengenics

On November 21, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Sengenics Corporation Pte Ltd (“Sengenics”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment related to the finalization of certain tax estimates existing as of the acquisition date. The adjustment resulted in an increase to deferred tax liability and corresponding increase to goodwill of $0.3 million. The adjustment was recorded within the one-year measurement period, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.

For additional details regarding both business combinations, refer to Note 3, Business Combinations in the Company's Annual Report.

Illumina Cambridge, Ltd.

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a multi-year arrangement with Illumina Cambridge, Ltd. (“Illumina”), originally entered into by SomaLogic and Illumina in December 2021 (the “Illumina Agreement”), to jointly develop and commercialize co-branded kits to combine Illumina's Next Generation Sequencing technology with SomaScan® technology (the “Co-Branded Kits”). Pursuant to the Illumina Agreement, SomaLogic received a non-refundable upfront payment of $30.0 million in January 2022. Subsequent to executing the Illumina Agreement, Illumina paid an additional $0.5 million to purchase the equipment, supplies and training necessary to run the SomaScan® assay at their facilities, representing a modification to the Illumina Agreement. As of the Closing Date, the Company determined that the transaction price of the Illumina Agreement was $30.5 million. Subsequent to commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits, the Company is entitled to receive $124.5 million of minimum guaranteed royalties through the term of the Illumina Agreement. No royalties were included in the Illumina transaction price as probability of commercialization had not been achieved as of the Closing Date.

Subsequent to commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits, Illumina has the right to purchase SOMAmer reagents below standalone selling price (“SSP”) through the remaining term of the Illumina Agreement, which will continue for approximately eight years following commercialization. Illumina's option to purchase SOMAmer reagents below SSP for this period represents a significant material right (the “Material Right”). As of the Closing Date, the Company allocated $30.4 million of the Illumina transaction price to the Material Right, which will be recognized as revenue as Illumina purchases SOMAmer reagents post commercialization.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined that commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits is probable due to the launch of an early-access program and adjusted the transaction price to include $127.9 million of royalties expected to be received from 2025 through 2032. The Company allocated $0.4 million of the adjusted transaction price to satisfied performance obligations and recognized that amount as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. The total transaction price of the Illumina Agreement as adjusted is $158.4 million. Substantially all of the transaction price is allocated to the Material Right, which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over an 8-year period from 2025 through 2032.

NEC Corporation

Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a joint development and commercialization agreement (the “JDCA”) with NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd. (“NEC”), originally entered into by SomaLogic and NEC in March 2020, to develop and commercialize SomaScan® services in Japan. The JDCA is within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, as both companies are active participants and are exposed to significant rewards and risks dependent on commercial failure or success, and is accounted for by analogy to ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers.

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed certain contract liabilities and recorded $1.8 million of deferred revenue as of the Closing Date. Under the JDCA, the Company was entitled to receive $2.0 million in exchange for research and development (“R&D”) services, which was received in April 2024. Deferred revenue related to the JDCA has been fully recognized as of March 31, 2025.

New England Biolabs, Inc.

Also in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with New England Biolabs, Inc. (“NEB”), originally entered into by SomaLogic and NEB in September 2022 (the "NEB Agreement"), whereby the Company provides a license to use certain proprietary information and know-how relating to SomaLogic's aptamer technology. Under the NEB Agreement, the Company is guaranteed fixed minimum royalties of $5.0 million to be received through September 2025. No revenue related to the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties will be recognized, as all revenue related to the receivable was recognized by SomaLogic prior to the Merger. Any revenue above the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties will be recognized in the period in which the subsequent sale or usage has occurred. As of March 31, 2025, royalties receivable related to this agreement were $4.6 million, included in accounts receivable within current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

  1. Commit ments and Contingencies

Other Commitments

In connection with the Illumina Agreement, SomaLogic, and now the Company, is required to engage with two contract manufacturing organizations in order to ensure manufacturing capacity. In 2023, SomaLogic contracted with Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (“IDT”) to manufacture custom products. Under the contract manufacturing agreement with IDT, SomaLogic committed to minimum annual purchases of $2.3 million, which the Company subsumed in connection with the Merger. As the minimum contract term isthree years, the total purchase commitment related to the IDT agreement is $6.9 million. The Company has placed initial orders under the IDT contract and expects to receive shipments beginning in the second quarter of 2025.

In 2024, the Company contracted with LGC Genomics (“LGC”) to satisfy the manufacturing capacity requirement of the Illumina Agreement. Under the Company’s agreement with LGC, the Company committed to minimum annual purchases of $1.0 million over atwo-year minimum contract term. The Company placed initial orders under the LGC contract in the fourth quarter of 2024 and received its first shipment under the contract in January 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining purchase commitment relating to the LGC agreement totaled $2.0 million. The Company does not have additional material purchase commitments with remaining terms in excess of one year.

The Company has entered into several license and patent agreements. Under these agreements, the Company pays annual license maintenance fees, non-refundable license issuance fees, and royalties as a percentage of net sales for the sale or sublicense of products using the licensed technology. Future payments related to these license agreements have not been included in the open commitments above, as the period of time over which the future license payments will be required to be made, and the amount of such payments, are indeterminable. The Company does not expect the license payments to be material in any particular year.

Indemnification

From time to time, the Company has entered into agreements in the ordinary course of business, with certain business partners, customers and suppliers, that contain indemnification provisions. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the indemnified parties on a case-by-case basis for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with any patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of the indemnification provisions within these agreements is generally perpetual from the time of the execution of the respective agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is typically not limited to a specific amount.

In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers, directors and certain other employees. With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among others, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding that may arise by reason of their status or service as officers, directors, or employees. The Company does not have any indemnification liabilities related to these indemnification obligations recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, contract law, tax, regulatory, distribution arrangements, employee relations and other matters. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss.

Stockholder Litigation

On December 12, 2023 two separate stockholder complaints were filed in the District of Delaware. The complaints asserted claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly causing the filing with the SEC on November 14, 2023 of a materially deficient registration statement on Form S-4. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs sought to enjoin a stockholder vote on the proposed Merger. These complaints were voluntarily dismissed. On December 13, 2023, a complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against SomaLogic and certain officers and directors alleging Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Aiding and Abetting Breach of Fiduciary Duty. This complaint also sought an injunction postponing the proposed business combination between SomaLogic and the Company, which was denied by the Court on January 4, 2024. An amended complaint was filed on June 20, 2024, containing primarily the same allegations, while removing some of the defendants. The remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss on July 5, 2024, and served an opening brief on August 19, 2024. The Plaintiffs’ opposition brief was filed on December 2, 2024, and the defendants’ reply brief was filed on March 14, 2025. Oral argument has been set for July 7, 2025. Litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance regarding the outcome. Whether or not any plaintiffs’ claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.

Between October 24, 2023 and January 3, 2024, SomaLogic received 18 letters from purported stockholders demanding that SomaLogic allow the inspection of its books and records and/or make corrective disclosures to its registration statement. The Company has resolved fee disputes with all but two stockholder’s counsel.

In February 2024, the Company settled previously outstanding litigation with a former stockholder of SomaLogic, whereby the Company relinquished 422,048 shares of the Company's common stock that were subject to vesting conditions.

In May 2024, the Company settled previously outstanding litigation with former stockholders of SomaLogic for $6.2 million consisting of the repurchase of approximately 1.84 million shares of the Company's common stock from the stockholders at the market price of $2.40 per share, and a cash payment of $1.8 million. The Company recognized a litigation loss of $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On June 4, 2024, the Company received a demand pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law from a stockholder to inspect the Company’s books and records relating to the prior conversion of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below). The Company has responded to the demand and has produced documents.

Additional lawsuits against us and certain of our officers or directors may be filed in the future. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, we will not necessarily announce such additional filings.

In the normal course of business, the Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings or potential legal proceedings, including matters involving employment, intellectual property, or others. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the final outcome of any currently pending matters would not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company continues to reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates.

Other Contingencies

Following the Merger, the Company is responsible for SomaLogic’s liabilities and obligations, including with respect to legal, financial, regulatory, and compliance matters. These liabilities and obligations will result in additional cost and expense by the Company and, if the Company has underestimated the amount of these costs and expenses or if the Company fails to satisfy any such liabilities or obligations, the Company may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger and there may be an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Further, it is possible that there may be unknown, contingent or other liabilities, obligations or other problems that may arise in the future, the existence and/or magnitude of which the Company was previously unaware. Any such liabilities, obligations or other problems could have an adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to these additional matters, the Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could be incurred.

  1. Net Loss Per Share

The Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss less any redemption or induced conversion on the Series B Preferred Stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. RSUs, performance stock units (“PSUs”), options to purchase the Company’s common stock, restricted stock, Employee Stock Purchase Plan

(“ESPP”) shares pending issuance, Series B Preferred Stock and convertible notes are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

On January 23, 2022, the Company entered into separate Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (collectively, the "Purchase Agreements") with Casdin Private Growth Equity Fund II, L.P. and Casdin Partners Master Fund, L.P. (together, "Casdin"), and Viking Global Opportunities Illiquid Investments Sub Master LP and Viking Global Opportunities Drawdown LP (together, Viking, and together with Casdin, the “Investors"), whereby the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $225.0 million of convertible preferred stock, consisting of: (i)112,500 shares of the Company’s Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B-1 Preferred Stock"), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share; and (ii)112,500 shares of the Company’s Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B-2 Preferred Stock", and together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the "Series B Preferred Stock") at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.

On March 18, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Casdin and Viking in which all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for an aggregate of 92,930,553 shares of the Company's common stock. This transaction was determined to be an induced conversion due to a reduction in the original conversion price. The excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the fair value of shares issuable under original terms represents an in-substance distribution to the Investors, and was included as a reduction to the numerator in calculating earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Computation of net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Numerator:

Denominator:

The following potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

  1. Income Taxes

The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The quarterly provision for income taxes also includes discrete items, such as changes in valuation allowances or adjustments upon finalization of tax returns as well as infrequently occurring items, if any, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.2 million and income tax expense of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in the Company's tax provision reflects the effect of the Company's foreign operations, which reported lower pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods differ from the 21%U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on domestic losses and the tax rate differences between the United States and foreign countries. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

  1. Segment Reporting

As discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company reassessed its operating and reportable segments during the first quarter of 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company hasone operating and reportable segment.
