1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Business Overview
We are a provider of sequencing- and array-based solutions for genetic and genomic analysis, serving customers in the research, clinical and applied markets. Our products are used for applications in the life sciences, oncology, reproductive health, agriculture and other emerging segments. Our customers include leading genomic research centers, academic institutions, government laboratories, and hospitals, as well as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, commercial molecular diagnostic laboratories, and consumer genomics companies.
On January 30, 2026, we acquired SomaLogic and other specified assets from Standard BioTools. SomaLogic is a proteomics company that provides high-throughput protein measurement technology and related data analysis services. We have included the financial results of SomaLogic in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Refer to note 2. Acquisitions, Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional details.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, from which the prior year balance sheet information herein was derived. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Although tariffs, reductions in the U.S. government’s funding of the NIH, our inclusion on the unreliable entities list by regulatory authorities in China, armed conflicts, including recent conflict in the Middle East and Iran, and macroeconomic factors, such as inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, supply-chain disruptions, and concerns about an economic downturn continue to create additional uncertainty, we continue to use the best information available to inform our critical accounting estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and majority-owned or controlled companies. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been reflected.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to December 31, with quarters of 13 or 14 weeks ending the Sunday closest to March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Q3 2026 and Q3 2025 refer to the three-month periods ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025, respectively, which were 13 weeks. YTD 2026 and YTD 2025 refer to the respective corresponding nine-month periods, which were 39 weeks.
Significant Accounting Policies
During YTD 2026, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, except for the following new accounting policies:
Long-Term Inventory
We recognize inventory associated with certain new manufacturing processes that last more than one year and were acquired as part of the SomaLogic acquisition as long-term inventory, included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See note 7. Supplemental Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations Details.
IEEPA Tariff Refunds
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the imposition of tariffs. In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to process refunds of IEEPA tariffs. We evaluate recoveries of IEEPA tariffs in accordance with applicable loss recovery guidance and recognize recoveries when the refund is probable. During Q3 2026 and YTD 2026, we recognized a benefit of $79 million as a reduction to cost of revenue for expected refunds. As of September 27, 2026, we had received $32 million in IEEPA tariff refunds and recorded a receivable of $47 million within prepaid expenses and other current assets. We expect to refund a portion of the tariff refunds received to customers. As of September 27, 2026, we recorded a liability of $37 million in accrued liabilities for estimated refunds to be credited to customers and recognized a corresponding reduction to revenue in both Q3 2026 and YTD 2026. Interest associated with tariff refunds is recognized in interest income when received or realizable and wasimmaterial for both Q3 2026 and YTD 2026.
Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The new standard requires a company to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified categories of expenses that are included in line items on the face of the income statement. The standard is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2027 and interim periods within fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is expected to be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The new standard is intended to modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for capitalized internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. The standard is effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging, Hedge Accounting Improvements. The new standard is intended to better align hedge accounting with risk management activities. The standard is effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal year 2027, with early adoption permitted, and is applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-09 on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The standard is effective for us beginning in our first quarter of fiscal year 2029, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-10 on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations. The new standard provides specific guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied retrospectively by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2026-02 on the consolidated financial statements.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares from equity awards are determined using the average share price for each period under the treasury stock method. In addition, proceeds from exercise of equity awards and the average amount of unrecognized compensation expense for equity awards are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
The weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:
| In millions | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | YTD 2026 | YTD 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted average shares outstanding | 151 | 153 | 152 | 156 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive common shares from: | ||||
| Equity awards | 3 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| Weighted average shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share | 154 | 154 | 154 | 157 |
| Antidilutive shares related to equity awards excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per share | — | 2 | — | 3 |
