Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)
- THE COMPANY:
OraSure Technologies transforms health through actionable insight by powering the shift that connects people to healthcare wherever they are. In February 2023, the Company announced a corporate restructuring to combine the commercial and innovation teams acrosstwo segments, being the “Diagnostics” segment and the “Molecular Solutions” segment, intoone business unit with sales, marketing, product development, and research teams covering multiple product lines. This change is intended to accelerate innovation, enhance customer experience and result in operational synergies. As a result, all products and services reside underone reporting hierarchy.
The Company's product portfolio is broadly divided into diagnostics products and sample management solutions. The Company's business consists of the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of simple, easy to use specimen collection devices and diagnostic products designed to detect certain infectious diseases including COVID-19, HIV and Hepatitis C, and Syphilis that are performed on a rapid basis at the point of care. The Company's business also includes sample management solutions and molecular services that are used by clinical laboratories, direct-to-consumer laboratories, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and animal health service and product providers. During 2024, the Company exited the molecular services business. In October 2024, the Company announced the discontinuance of the sales of its risk assessment product line which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025.
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OraSure Technologies, Inc. (“OraSure”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DNA Genotek, Inc. ("DNAG"), Diversigen, Inc. ("Diversigen"), Novosanis NV ("Novosanis"), and Sherlock Biosciences, Inc. ("Sherlock"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. References herein to “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” mean OraSure and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations, the valuation of accounts receivable and inventories and assumptions utilized in impairment testing for property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, as well as estimates related to accruals, taxes, contingent consideration, and performance-based compensation expense. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, using historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment and other factors will be reflected in the financial statements in those future periods.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
The Company paid income tax of $1.8 million in 2024, and received income tax refunds of $4.9 million in 2023 and paid income tax of $9.4 million in 2022.
The Company had account receivable write-offs of $0.5 million, $0.7 million, and $2.3 million in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accruals for purchases of property and equipment of $0.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
The Company acquired Sherlock in exchange for contingent consideration of $22,910 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash Equivalents & Short-Term Investments
The Company considers all investments in debt securities to be available-for-sale securities. These securities consist of guaranteed investment certificates purchased with maturities greater than ninety days. Securities with maturities ninety days or less are considered cash equivalents. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, based upon quoted market prices, with unrealized gain and losses, if any, reported in stockholders' equity as a component of other comprehensive loss.
The Company records an allowance for credit loss for the Company's available-for-sale securities when a decline in investment market value is due to credit-related factors. When evaluating an investment for impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the severity of the impairment, changes in underlying credit ratings, forecasted recovery, the Company’s intent to sell or the likelihood that it would be required to sell the investment before its anticipated recovery in market value, and the probability that the scheduled cash payments will continue to be made.
The Company had no available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company maintains cash balances in the United States in excess of the federally insured limits
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values based on their short-term nature.
Fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are unobservable in the market, determining fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Therefore, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for assets or liabilities categorized in Level 3.
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Level | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Guaranteed investment certificates | 1 | $66,584 | $71,698 |
| Contingent consideration | 3 | $22,910 | $— |
Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $66.6 million and $71.7 million, respectively, invested in guaranteed investment certificates.
Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $118.5 million and $112.7 million, respectively, invested in government money market funds. These funds have investments in U.S. government securities and are measured as Level 1 instruments.
The Company offers a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain eligible employees and members of the Company's Board of Directors. The assets of the plan are held in the name of the Company at a third-party financial institution. Separate accounts are maintained for each participant to reflect the amounts deferred by the participant and all earnings and losses on those deferred amounts. The assets of the plan are held in mutual funds and Company stock. The fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and was calculated using the quoted market prices of the assets as of those dates. All investments in the plan are classified as trading securities and measured as Level 1 instruments. The fair value of plan assets is included in both current assets and other noncurrent assets with the same amounts included in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Contingent Consideration
As further discussed in Note 14, Business Combinations, the Company has identified its contingent consideration obligations as Level 3 liabilities due to significant inputs that are required to measure the fair value of these obligations. The contingent consideration is comprised of two different tranches: milestone payments and royalty payments. The significant quantitative unobservable inputs for the milestone payments are the discount rate and probability achievement of a milestone of a regulatory approval.
The fair value methodology for royalty payments are based on a discounted cash flow model. Significant quantitative unobservable inputs are internally developed future expected cash flows, discount rate and probability achievement of a milestone of a regulatory approval. The royalty payments represent a mid-single digit percentage of the net sales through 2034 associated with the acquired in-process and research developed intangible asset.
There were no changes in fair value from date of acquisition to December 31, 2024.
Equity Method Investee
In January 2024, the Company lead the Series B financing and entered into wide-ranging strategic distribution agreements with KKR Sapphiros L.P. ("Sapphiros"), a privately held consumer diagnostic portfolio company, and certain of its related entities. Through this relationship, the Company expects to be able to offer a more comprehensive range of low-cost diagnostic tests and sample management solutions to the Company's customers globally. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had funded $30.0 million for its interest in Sapphiros. The Company recorded the investment using the equity method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Overall. In accordance with the equity method, the Company's equity investment is presented net of its share of any gains or losses of the investee. The Company has elected as its accounting policy to recognize its share of any income or loss in Sapphiros on a three-month lag, which coincides with the availability of its financial information. The investment in Sapphiros of $28.3 million as of December 31, 2024 is included in the investment in equity method investee line of the Company's balance sheet and is measured as a Level 3 investment. The Company has no unconditional obligations or guarantees to, or in support of, its equity method investee and its operations. In conjunction with the preparation of the Company's December 31, 2024 financial statements, the Company considered whether the carrying value of the investment in Sapphiros was impaired and concluded that no such impairment existed. There was no similar investment as of December 31, 2023.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable has been reduced by an estimated allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based primarily on management’s evaluation of specific balances as they become past due, the financial condition of the Company's customers and the Company's historical experience related to write-offs.
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Accounts receivable | $23,816 | $40,171 | $70,797 |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | $774 | $1,216 | $2,365 |
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead. The majority of the Company's inventories are subject to expiration dating, which can be extended in certain circumstances. The Company continually evaluates quantities on hand and the carrying value of the Company's inventories to determine the need for net realizable value adjustments for excess and obsolete inventories, based primarily on prior experience with consideration of expected changes in the business and estimated forecasts of product sales. The Company reserves for unidentified scrap or spoilage based on historical write-off rates. The Company also considers items identified through specific identification procedures in assessing the adequacy of the Company's reserve. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of expected changes in the business and of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the carrying value of its inventories and reported operating results.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions or improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
buildings twenty years;
leasehold improvements, the lesser of the useful life of the improvement or the remaining life of the building or lease;
computer equipment and software three years;
machinery and equipment five years; and
furniture and fixtures seven years
When assets are sold, retired, or discarded, the related property amounts are relieved from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, patents and product rights, acquired technology, in-process research and development technology and trade names. Patents and product rights consist of costs associated with the acquisition of patents, licenses and product distribution rights. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives offive tofifteen years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If indicators of impairment exist, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets to the fair value of the assets, which is generally determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows associated with the use of the assets. Expected future cash flows reflect the Company's assumptions about selling prices, volumes, costs and market conditions over a reasonable period of time. See Notes 5 and 6 for discussion of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset impairments, respectively, recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if the Company believes that indicators of impairment exist. Current generally accepted accounting principles permit the Company to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, then the Company would be required to recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, provided the impairment charge does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The Company historically performed an annual goodwill impairment assessment as of July 31. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company changed the date of its the annual impairment assessment to November 30, to better align with the Company's annual forecasting process. On November 30, 2024, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test which concluded that the carrying value of the Company's goodwill was below its fair value indicating there was no impairment.
A more frequent evaluation is performed if an event occurs or circumstances change between annual tests that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
Revenue
Product sales. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer based on an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is entitled to, net of allowances for any discounts or rebates.
The Company generally does not grant product return rights to its customers, except for warranty returns and return rights on sales of the Company's OraQuick® In-Home HIV test to retail trade customers, and InteliSwab® products to retail trade and certain other customers.
Historically, returns arising from warranty issues have been infrequent and immaterial. Accordingly, the Company expenses warranty returns as incurred.
The Company records shipping and handling charges billed to the Company's customers as product revenue and the related expense as cost of products sold.
Service revenues. Service revenues represent microbiome laboratory testing and analytical services. The Company recognizes revenues when the Company satisfies its performance obligations for services rendered.
Arrangements with multiple-performance obligations. In arrangements involving more than one performance obligation, which largely applies to the Company's service revenue stream, each required performance obligation is evaluated to determine whether it qualifies as a distinct performance obligation based on whether (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and (ii) the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The consideration under the arrangement is then allocated to each separate distinct performance obligation based on their respective relative stand-alone selling price. The estimated selling price of each performance obligation is determined using an observable cost plus margin approach. The consideration allocated to each distinct performance obligation is recognized as revenue when control is transferred for the related goods or services or when the performance obligation has been satisfied.
Other revenues. Other revenues consist primarily of royalty income and funding from grants of research and development efforts. Royalties from licensees are based on third-party sales of licensed products and are recorded when the related third-party product sale occurs. Research and development grant revenue is recognized pursuant to International Accounting Standard 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance ("IAS 20"). The expenses are recorded in research and development expense and the reimbursements are recorded in other revenue. Funding of research and development efforts and charitable support reimbursements are recorded as the activities are performed in accordance with the respective agreements.
Deferred revenue. The Company records deferred revenue when funds are received prior to the recognition of the associated revenue. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 included customer prepayments of $3.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023 also included $0.4 million associated with a long-term contract that has variable pricing based on volume. The average price over the life of the contract was determined and revenue was recognized at that average price. The $0.4 million associated with the long-term contract at December 31, 2023 met the criteria to be recognized as revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024, and as such there was no equivalent balance remaining in deferred revenue at December 31, 2024. Revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $3.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which was included in the beginning period deferred revenue.
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Deferred revenue | $2,961 | $1,559 | $2,273 |
Financing and payment. The Company's payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and products or services offered. Payment terms differ by jurisdiction and customer, but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 120 days from date of shipment or satisfaction of the performance obligation.
For certain products or services and customer types, the Company may require payment before the products are delivered or services are rendered to the customer.
Practical expedients and exemptions. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities, such as sales or value-added taxes, are excluded from product revenues.
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred if the amortization period isone year or less. These costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. If the amortization period exceeds one year, the Company defers the cost of the commission and expenses it over the life of the related sales contract.
Revenues by product. The following table represents total net revenues by product line:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | |||

| Commercial customer | 10% | N/A |
| Non-commercial customer (1) | N/A | 40% |
(1) Same non-commercial customer.
Vendor concentrations. The Company currently purchases certain products and critical components of the Company's products from sole-supply vendors. If these vendors are unable or unwilling to supply the required components and products, the Company could be subject to increased costs and substantial delays in the delivery of the Company's products to its customers. Third-party suppliers also manufacture certain products. The Company's inability to have a timely supply of any of these components and products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, as well as the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, facilities expenses, overhead expenses, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, contract services and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred $0.5 million, $1.6 million, and $4.8 million, respectively, in advertising expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and directors using the fair value method. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units based on assumptions as to what percentage of each performance target will be achieved. The Company evaluates these target assumptions on a quarterly basis and adjusts compensation expense related to these awards, as appropriate. To satisfy the exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted stock, or redemption of performance-based restricted stock units, the Company issues new shares rather than purchase shares in the open market.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the respective taxing jurisdiction that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and operating loss and credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered, settled or utilized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company assesses the realizability of its net deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. If, after considering all relevant positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company reduces its net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance. The realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs. Net foreign exchange gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions included in other income in the Company's consolidated statements of operations were $1.2 million, $(0.1) million, and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include incremental shares from the assumed vesting or exercise of dilutive securities, such as common stock options, unvested restricted stock or performance stock units, unless the impact is anti-dilutive. The number of incremental shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and unvested restricted shares and performance stock units were vested, and the proceeds from such exercises or vesting were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. Basic and dilutive computations of net loss per share are the same in periods in which a net loss exists as the dilutive effects of excluded items would be anti-dilutive.
| For the Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| Net income (loss) | $(19,500) | $53,655 | $(17,133) |
| Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding: | |||
| Basic | 74,434 | 73,348 | 72,505 |
| Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and performance stock units | — | 1,041 | — |
| Diluted | 74,434 | 74,389 | 72,505 |
| Earnings per share: | |||
| Basic | $(0.26) | $0.73 | $(0.24) |
| Diluted | $(0.26) | $0.72 | $(0.24) |
For the year ended December 31, 2024, outstanding common stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance stock units representing 896 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, outstanding common stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance stock units representing 1,778 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2022, outstanding common stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance stock units representing 436 shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The Company classifies items of other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature and discloses the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) separately from accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has defined the Canadian dollar as the functional currency of the Company's Canadian subsidiary, DNAG, and the Company has defined the Euro as the functional currency of the Company's Belgian subsidiary, Novosanis. The results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars, which is the reporting currency of the Company. Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component is listed below:
| Foreign Currency | Total | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2023 | $(14,941) | $(14,941) |
| Other comprehensive loss | (9,419) | (9,419) |
| Balance at December 31, 2024 | $(24,360) | $(24,360) |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The purpose of this update was to require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses on a disaggregated basis. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is evaluating the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The purpose of this update was to provide illustrative examples to demonstrate how an entity should apply guidance to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The purpose of the update was to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosures of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses.

Management is evaluating the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Immaterial Correction of Errors
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company identified an immaterial error that was corrected in its consolidated financial statements. Inventories, accounts payable and cost of products and services were reduced by $0.5 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 to correct for the accounting of a vendor rebate earned in 2022. Furthermore, stockholder's equity at December 31, 2022 increased $0.8 million to reflect the reduction in cost of products and services sold. The tax impact of the vendor rebate was negligible. This correction was deemed to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The respective operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 have also been adjusted.

In September 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for $109.0 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Defense (the "DOD"), in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services, to build additional manufacturing capacity in the United States for its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Tests as part of the nation’s pandemic preparedness plan. In accordance with the milestone payment schedule,15% of the total was not billed and funded until the completion of the final validation testing, which occurred in October 2023. The Company began receiving funds from the DOD in January 2022 and received $109.0 million as of December 31, 2023. In connection with the completion of the contract in the fourth quarter of 2023, all funds were received.
Activity for these capital contracts is accounted for pursuant to International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Funding received in relation to capital-related costs incurred for government contracts is recorded as a reduction to the cost of property, plant and equipment and reflected within investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows and associated unpaid liabilities and government proceeds receivable are considered non-cash changes in such balances within the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Amounts earned for the Company's guaranteed profit which covered project management costs were recognized straight-line in other income over the term of the government contract. The Company recognized no such income during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognized $2.8 million and $2.2 million of such income during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, in connection with the completion of the contract, the Company recognized $12.8 million in excess of the guaranteed profit in other income in the Company's consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023, which reflects the difference in overall spend compared to the firm fixed price contract amount of $109.0 million.
The DOD also reimbursed the Company for certain engineering consulting costs. These expenses are reflected in research and development expenses as incurred with the corresponding amount presented in other income. The Company recognized no such costs during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognized $2.0 million and $1.4 million of such costs during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The activity corresponding to the government contracts included in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows:
| December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2023 | |
| Cost of assets, cumulative | $86,993 |
| Reduction for funding earned to date, not yet received | — |
| Reduction for funding received to date | (86,993) |

| Raw materials | $17,001 | $20,727 |
| Work in process | 420 | 1,900 |
| Finished goods | 16,775 | 24,987 |
| $34,197 | $47,614 | |
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded adjustments to inventory which had a cost of $2.6 million, $8.9 million, and $15.6 million, respectively. Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily driven by the write down of inventory based on an estimated amount of inventory that may not be sold as the Company exits the Risk Assessment Testing business and normal operating scrap. Adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023 were primarily related to reduction in COVID-19 demand and the need to reserve for excess inventory levels. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company's 2022 adjustments were related to production and tech-transfer issues associated with the Company's COVID-19 rapid test.
- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Land | $1,118 | $1,118 |

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company initiated a strategic plan to transition away from the microbiome molecular sequencing services business and to cease operations at its Belgium location. As a result of these decisions, the Company determined that the carrying values of all of Diversigen's and Novosanis's property, plant, and equipment were not recoverable and recorded an aggregate pre-tax asset impairment charge of $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. All of these assets were disposed of as of December 31, 2024.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined a manufacturing line will no longer be utilized. As a result of this decision, the Company determined that the carrying value of the equipment was not recoverable and recorded an aggregate pre-tax impairment charge of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company determined several manufacturing lines would not utilized due to changes in forecasted demand for the products the lines are intended to produce. Additionally, the Company elected not to proceed with certain leasehold improvements to its research and development laboratories. As a result of these decisions, the Company determined that the carrying values of the equipment and leasehold improvements were not recoverable and recorded aggregate pre-taxasset impairment charges of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined several manufacturing lines and associated supporting assets would not be utilized due to changes in forecasted demand for the products the lines are intended to produce. As a result of this decision, the Company determined that the carrying values of the equipment and supporting assets were not recoverable and recorded aggregate pre-tax asset impairment charges of $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Due to the extremely specialized nature of the equipment and various market data points, the estimated fair value was zero. These charges are reported within loss on impairments in the consolidated statement of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company shortened the useful lives of machinery and equipment utilized for InteliSwab® production in Thailand. This reduction in useful lives resulted in $6.9 million of accelerated depreciation during 2023, recorded in cost of products and services sold. Also during 2023, the Company shortened the useful lives of leasehold improvements and equipment due a lease termination. This reduction in useful lives resulted in an additional $0.5 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in cost of products and services sold.
Depreciation expense for 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $9.8 million, $17.9 million, and $11.7 million, respectively.
- GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Changes in goodwill are as follows:

On November 30, 2024, the Company performed its quantitative annual goodwill impairment test. The Company utilizes a combination of the income approach and market approach in determining the fair value of itstwo reporting units. The test concluded that the carrying value of the Company's reporting units was below fair value indicating there was no impairment of goodwill.
During 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred in relation to the depressed market price of the Company's common stock and corresponding decline in the Company's market capitalization. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test and concluded that the carrying value of the Company's Diagnostics reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value and the goodwill balance for that segment was fully impaired. The Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, which is reported in loss on impairments in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Intangible assets consist of the following:

During 2023, the Company identified a triggering event to test for the recoverability of intangible assets given the decline in the Company's market capitalization leading up to and as of its annual goodwill impairment testing date. The Company performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis and determined the carrying value of the developed technology, trade names, and customer relationships intangible assets could not be recovered through the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. The Company used an income approach to determine the fair value of the developed technology and customer relationships intangible assets and the relief from royalty method for the trade names. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined the intangible assets associated with Diversigen and Novosanis were impaired as the fair value of the developed technology, trade names, and customer relationships did not exceed their carrying value. The Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $6.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 which is reported inloss on impairments in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Also in 2023, the Company determined that its remaining developed technology intangible asset was fully impaired. As a result of failed stability studies, the Company decided to no longer pursue the technology. The Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 which is reported in loss on impairments in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Amortization expense for 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $0.7 million, $2.0 million, and $2.3 million, respectively.
Amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and beyond is estimated as follows:

- LEASES:
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating and finance leases for corporate offices, warehouse space and equipment (including vehicles). As of December 31, 2024, the Company is the lessee in all lease agreements. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms ofone toten years, some of which include options to extend the leases based on agreed upon terms, and some of which include options to terminate the leases withinone year. The Company presents the operating right-of-use asset amortization and the change in operating lease liabilities on the other non-cash amortization line item of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance). For these agreements, the Company accounts for lease components separately from non-lease components.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified a triggering event to test for the recoverability of all the ROU assets of both the Diversigen and Novosanis subsidiaries, given the Company's decision to initiate a strategic plan to transition away from the microbiome molecular sequencing services business and close its Belgian operations. The Company performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis and determined the carrying values of the ROU assets could not be recovered through the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows and were impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company recognized aggregate pre-tax impairment charges of $1.2 million and $0.3 million to its operating and finance ROU assets, respectively. These charges are reported in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Deferred tax assets (liabilities): | ||
| Net operating loss carryforwards | $55,583 | $28,014 |
| Inventories | 2,344 | 2,654 |
| Capitalized research and development costs | 12,946 | 3,897 |
| Accruals and reserves currently not deductible | 2,754 | 3,324 |

| Lease liabilities | 2,497 | 3,173 |
| Stock-based compensation | 3,303 | 3,467 |
| Tax credit carryforwards | 4,184 | 3,326 |
| Net deferred tax asset | 75,347 | 41,114 |
| Valuation allowance | (75,191) | (41,668) |
| Net deferred tax asset (liability) | $156 | $(554) |
In assessing the realizability of the Company's deferred tax asset, the Company considers all relevant positive and negative evidence in determining whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The realization of the gross deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income, to realize the NOL carryforwards. In 2008, the Company established a full valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. deferred tax asset, and although the Company has achieved cumulative of U.S. pre-tax earnings based on a rolling three year window the Company has not achieved a level of sustained profitability that would, in the Company's judgement, support the release of the valuation allowance. Management believes the full valuation allowance is still appropriate as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. As a result, no U.S. federal income tax benefit was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
The Company's federal NOL carryforwards consist of $108.6 million from existing business along with $71.5 million of acquired NOL carryforwards. None of these NOL carryforwards have an expiration date. The Company's foreign NOL carryforwards consist of $63.0 million of acquired NOL carryforwards. These foreign NOL carryforwards do not have an expiration date. The Company's state NOL carryforwards consist of $33.9 million from existing business along with $4.0 million of acquired NOL carryforwards. The state NOL carryforwards have expirations as follows:
| Year of Expiration | NOLs |
|---|---|
| 2026 - 2040 | $14,122 |
| 2041 - 2046 | 13,442 |
| Non-Expiring | 10,294 |
| $37,858 |
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 that limit the annual amount of federal and state NOL carryforwards that can be used in any given year in the event a significant change in ownership. The Company does not believe that there is a Section 382 limitation that will impair the Company's future ability to utilize NOLs to offset the Company's future taxable income. The Company continues to review ownership changes on an annual basis and the Company does not believe it has had a subsequent ownership change that would impact the NOLs. The Company acquired 382 limited NOL carryforwards as part of its acquisition of Sherlock. These NOL carryforwards have no expiration date.
In January 2022, approximately $65.0 million was repatriated from the Company's Canadian subsidiary as a one-time event. Associated with this repatriation the Company paid $1.7 million in Canadian withholding tax which is included in the Company's foreign income tax expense within the table further above. It is still the Company's intention to continue to permanently reinvest the historical undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiary to the extent that the Company will not incur any additional tax expense associated with foreign withholding or other local tax expense on the future cash transfers. As such, deferred taxes have not been recorded on the unremitted earnings of the foreign subsidiary as of December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $0.3 million, and based upon the valuation allowance for the Company's U.S. operations, the recognition of any tax benefit would not impact the Company's effective tax rate. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Interest and penalties were immaterial in 2024, 2023, and 2022. As a result of the Company's NOL carryforward position, the Company has been subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service since the Company's inception, as well as by several jurisdictions for the years ended September 30, 1998 through December 31, 2024.

- STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
Stock-Based Awards
The Company grants stock-based awards under the OraSure Technologies, Inc. Stock Award Plan, as amended (the “Stock Plan”). The Stock Plan permits stock-based awards to employees, outside directors and consultants or other third-party advisors. Awards which may be granted under the Stock Plan include qualified incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards.
As of December 31, 2024,5,412 shares were available for future grants under the Stock Plan.
Under the terms of the Stock Plan, nonqualified stock options may be granted to eligible employees, including the Company's officers at a price not less than 75 percent of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The option term and vesting schedule of such awards may be either unlimited or have a specified period in which to vest and be exercised. To date, options generally have been granted withten-year exercise periods and an exercise price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Options generally vest over four years, with one quarter of the options vesting one year after grant and the remainder vesting on a monthly basis over the next three years.
The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black-Scholes Option Valuation Assumptions | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Risk-free interest rate (1) | 4.14% | 4.23% | 1.65% |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — | — |
| Expected stock price volatility (2) | 53% | 51% | 50% |
| Expected life of stock options (in years) (2) | 5 | 5 | 5 |
(1)Based on the constant maturity interest rate of U.S. Treasury securities whose term is consistent with the expected life of the Company's stock options.
(2)Based upon historical experience.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $3.68, $3.24 and $4.15, respectively.
Compensation expense recognized in the financial statements related to stock options was $1.4 million, $1.3 million, and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 (the amount by which the market price of the stock on the date of exercise exceeded the exercise price) was $38.4 thousand, $43.0 thousand, and $4.0 thousand, respectively.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity under the Stock Plan:
| Options | Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share | Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term(in years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |

| Exercisable on December 31, 2024 | 1,389 | $9.79 | 4.91 | $— |
As of December 31, 2024, there was $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested option awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.
Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.02 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforward position, no actual income tax benefit was realized from stock option exercises for these periods.
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2024:

The Stock Plan also permits the Company to grant restricted shares and restricted units of the Company's common stock to eligible employees, including officers, and the Company's outside directors. Generally, these shares or units are nontransferable until vested and are subject to vesting requirements and/or forfeiture, as determined by the Company's Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. The market value of these shares and units at the date of grant is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. Compensation cost of $6.9 million, $7.6 million and $9.2 million related to restricted shares was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
The following table summarizes restricted stock award and restricted stock units activity under the Stock Plan:
| Units | Weighted-Average GrantDate FairValue | |
|---|---|---|
| Issued and unvested, January 1, 2024 | 2,521 | $6.04 |
| Granted | 875 | 6.84 |
| Vested | (1,604) | 5.81 |
| Forfeited | (98) | 7.37 |
| Issued and unvested, December 31, 2024 | 1,694 | $6.60 |
| Issued and expected to vest, December 31, 2024 | 1,694 | $6.60 |
As of December 31, 2024, there was $6.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
In connection with the vesting of restricted shares during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company purchased and immediately retired 617,262 and 241 shares with aggregate values of $3.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in satisfaction of minimum tax withholding and exercise obligations.
The Company grants performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executives. Vesting of these PSUs is dependent upon achievement of certain performance-based metrics during aone-year orthree-year period, from the date of grant. Assuming achievement of each performance-based metric, the executive must also generally remain in the Company's service forthree years from the grant date. Performance shares were granted based on the achievement ofthree-year cumulative revenue metrics with a market-based condition, or a total shareholder return modifier. PSUs are converted into shares of the Company's common stock once vested and the number of shares actually earned at the end of the performance period will vary, based on actual performance, from 0% to 150% of the target number of performance share units granted. Upon grant of the PSUs, the Company recognizes compensation expense related to these awards based on assumptions as to what percentage of each target will be achieved. The Company evaluates these target assumptions on a quarterly basis and adjusts compensation expense related to these awards, as appropriate.
Compensation cost of $3.6 million, $1.8 million and $0.9 million related to the PSUs was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
The following table summarizes PSU activity under the Stock Plan:

(1)Grant activity for all PSUs disclosed at target.
(2)Reflects the performance adjustment based on actual performance measured at the end of the performance period.
As of December 31, 2024, there was $5.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested performance stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
In connection with the vesting of performance stock units during the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company purchased and immediately retired 23,86, and 88 shares with aggregate values of $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
On August 5, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company is permitted to acquire up to $25.0 million of the Company's outstanding common shares. No shares were purchased and retired during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
- TRANSITION COSTS
On December 31, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the termination of Stephen S. Tang, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, without cause under his existing employment agreement with the Company, with such termination effective as of March 31, 2022. On January 2, 2022, Dr. Tang and the Company entered into a Transition Agreement providing for the terms of the cessation of Dr. Tang’s employment with the Company, including the cessation of his service as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board.

Additionally, in accordance with his Transition Agreement, certain of his unvested time-vesting restricted stock awards and unvested PSUs that were outstanding at March 31, 2022 vested on April 8, 2022. His remaining unvested time-vesting restricted stock awards and PSUs were forfeited on March 31, 2022. These payments, rights and benefits are substantially similar to the severance benefits contemplated by his previous employment agreement in respect to a termination without cause thereunder. In aggregate, the Company recognized $1.5 million of expense in relation to Dr. Tang's stock compensation for the year ended December 31, 2022.
- BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company is organized on the basis of products and services into a single reportable segment. All products and services reside under the same reporting hierarchy. Historically, there was separate management leading the Company's Diagnostics and Molecular Solutions businesses. In February 2023, the Company announced a corporate restructuring to combine the commercial and innovation teams across the Diagnostics and Molecular Solutions businesses intoone operating segment with sales, marketing, product development and research teams covering all product lines and reporting to a Chief Product Officer ("CPO").
The Company's reportable segment derives its revenues from the sale of diagnostics products and sample management solutions, as described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As the Company has onlyone reportable segment, there are no inter-segment sales or transfers.
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) as reported in the consolidated statement of operations as the primary measure of the reportable segment's profit or loss. The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to assess the performance of the segment and make decisions about resource allocation. Consolidated gross profit and consolidated operating income (loss), as reported in the consolidated statement of operations, are also used by the CODM as measures of segment profit or loss. The CODM uses gross profit to assess the impact of the Company's efforts to achieve manufacturing efficiencies and consolidate its production activities. The CODM uses operating income (loss) to assess the impact of the Company's recent restructurings, reduction in workforce, and efforts to streamline its operations to achieve cost savings. The CODM uses consolidated total assets as the measure of segment assets, as reported on the consolidated balance sheet.
The accounting policies of the Company's reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
Sherlock Biosciences
On December 19, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Sherlock, pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement"). The Company began operating this entity as of the December 19, 2024 closing date.
The primary reason for the acquisition is Sherlock's first test for Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (NG) is in clinical studies and is expected to be submitted to the FDA for approval by the end of 2025. Subject to regulatory approvals, this test is expected to expand the Company's portfolio for rapid diagnostics for sexually transmitted infections.
The initial aggregate purchase price of this transaction was funded with cash on had as shown below:
| Milestone contingent consideration | $15,910 |
|---|---|
| Royalty based contingent consideration | 7,000 |
| Cash paid to Sherlock | 5,000 |
| Legal expenses | 389 |
| Insurance policy expense | 50 |
| Initial aggregate purchase price | $28,349 |
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to pay up to $20.0 million of contingent consideration based on the achievement of a regulatory milestone on or before December 31, 2026 as defined in the Merger Agreement. The fair value of this milestone metric contingent consideration was $15.9 million. The range of outcome for the milestone contingent consideration is $0.0 million to $20.0 million. Also, there is a mid-single digits quarterly royalty fee based on future sales until 2034 as defined in the Merger Agreement, which was fair valued as part of contingent consideration. The estimated acquisition-date fair value of the royalty fee acquisition-related contingent consideration was $7.0 million. The range of outcome for the royalty payment cannot be determined due to the fact its based on future sales associated with the acquired in-process research and development technology through 2034 and thus does not have an upper limit.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a total of $1.0 million of acquisition related costs, including accounting, legal, and other professional fees, all of which were expensed and reported as a component of general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
| Assets Acquired | |
|---|---|
| Other current assets | $2,570 |
| Property, plant, and equipment, net | 9,244 |
| Other noncurrent assets | 462 |
| Operating right-of-use assets | 4,080 |
| In-process research and development technology intangible asset | 17,000 |
| Goodwill | 6,382 |
| Total assets acquired | 39,738 |
| Liabilities Assumed | |
| Accounts payable | 2,449 |
| Current liabilities | 3,621 |
| Deferred revenue | 1,641 |
| Operating lease liability | 4,080 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 11,791 |
| Net Assets Acquired | 27,947 |
| Estimated fair value of contingent consideration | (22,910) |
| Net Cash Paid (net of cash acquired of $402) | $5,037 |
The purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition-date estimate fair values. The identifiable intangible assets included in-process research and development technology ("IPR&D Technology"), which is an indefinite lived asset.
The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist, assessed the fair value of the assets and contingent consideration of Sherlock. The income approach was used to value the acquired intangibles and the fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The income approach estimates fair value for an asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money.
The regulatory milestone scenario based model was used to value the assumed milestone contingent consideration, were primarily based on significant unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The regulatory milestone scenario based model estimates fair value for contingent consideration based on the probability of on the achievement of a certain milestone as defined under the agreements and the discount rate.
The fair value of contingent payments approach was used to value the royalty based contingent consideration, were primarily based on significant unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The fair value of contingent payments approach were primarily based on projected cash flows, probability of on the achievement of a regulatory milestone as defined under the agreements, and discount rate.
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired, and represents the future economic benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the acquisition. The Company believes the goodwill related to the acquisition was a result of Sherlock providing a product offering that will enable the Company to leverage those products with existing and new customers. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The Company continues to evaluate the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Additional information, which existed as of the acquisition date, but was at that time unknown to the Company, may become known during the remainder of the measurement period. Changes to amounts recorded as a result of the final determination may result in a corresponding adjustment to these assets and liabilities, including goodwill. The determination of the estimated fair values of all assets acquired is expected to be completed within one year from the date of acquisition.
Revenues from Sherlock primarily consist of grant revenues for research and development purposes. Effective as of December 19, 2024, the financial results of Sherlock are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2024, consolidated net revenues include revenues associated with Sherlock of $78.0 thousand and consolidated results from operations include a net loss of $255.4 thousand generated since the acquisition date.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the results of the Sherlock acquisition as if it had been consummated as of January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma results include, depreciation of the acquired property plant and equipment and the estimated tax effect of adjustments to income before income taxes but do not include changes in the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration obligations. Material nonrecurring charges, directly attributable to the transactions, including direct acquisition costs, are also excluded. In addition, the unaudited pro forma results do not include any expected benefits of the acquisitions. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated as of January 1, 2023.

- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Purchase Commitments
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a manufacturing agreement with a third party vendor requiring a minimum purchase commitment. If the minimum commitment is not achieved, the Company will be required to make annual penalty payments over the next year. Based on current forecasts, these penalties aggregate to approximately $0.3 million and are accrued for in the consolidated balance sheet. These estimated penalties can fluctuate based on changes in forecasted demand.
The table below represents an estimate of future purchases under the agreement (in thousands):

Collaborations
Sherlock has an active third-party license agreement entered into in order to advance and obtain technologies and services related to the business. Under this license, the Company is required to make up to $2.3 million of cash payments upon the achievement of certain scientific and commercial milestones as well as low single digit royalty payments on product sales. No milestone payments have been made as of December 31, 2024. The Company has the right to terminate the license for any reason. Unless otherwise terminated, the license terminates upon the expiration of the last to expire valid claim.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, based upon the advice of counsel, the outcomes of such actions are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
Spectrum Patent Litigation
In March 2021, the Company filed a complaint against Spectrum Solutions, LLC (“Spectrum”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging that certain saliva collection devices manufactured and sold by Spectrum infringe a patent held by DNAG. Spectrum filed an answer asserting that its device does not infringe the Company’s patent and that the Company’s patent is invalid. In August 2021, the Company amended its complaint to add a second patent to this litigation. Spectrum responded to the Company's amended complaint and asserted counterclaims for inequitable conduct and antitrust violations with respect to one of the patents in the litigation and subsequently filed a request for review of the second patent at the Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”), which was granted by the PTO. The District Court issued multiple pretrial orders, resolving the infringement, antitrust, and inequitable conduct claims without trial. First, the District Court granted Spectrum’s motion for summary judgment of noninfringement. Second, the Court denied Spectrum’s motion to supplement its allegations of alleged antitrust violations, finding that if such an amendment were allowed, Spectrum’s claims would not survive a motion for summary judgment. Spectrum thereafter withdrew its antitrust and inequitable conduct counterclaims. Spectrum did not appeal the District Court's denial of its motion to amend. The Company appealed the grant of summary judgment to the Court of Appeals on June 8, 2023. On February 14, 2025, the Court of Appeal affirmed the District Court’s judgment. The Company is considering its appellate options. On February 7, 2024, the PTO issued a Final Written Decision regarding the second patent in the litigation, holding that claims 1, 3–8, 11, and 12 of U.S. Patent No. 11,002,646 B2 are unpatentable. On March 8, 2024, the Company filed a Request for Rehearing by the Director of the PTO of the Final Written Decision. On March 27, 2024, the Company’s Request for Rehearing was denied. On September 15, 2023, Spectrum filed a separate petition forinter partes review of a third patent, which DNAG did not assert in the District Court. On March 26, 2024, the PTO issued a Decision Granting Institution of Inter Partes Review. On July 2, 2024, the Company filed a Motion to Amend the claims of the third patent and oral argument in this IPR took place on January 24, 2025. On February 19, 2025, the PTO issued a Final Written Decision regarding the third patent in the litigation, granting the Company's Motion to Amend as to cancelling the original claims, but denying the Company's Motion to Amend as to adding proposed substitute claims. The Company is considering its appellate options.
NowDiagnostics Litigation
On November 14, 2024 the Company filed a complaint against NowDiagnostics, Inc. ("NowDx"), Jody Berry ("Berry") and Janean Young ("Young") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania alleging misappropriation and misuse of the Company's proprietary information and trade secrets by NowDx, Berry and Young in violation of the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act and the Pennsylvania Uniform Trade Secrets Act. The complaint also alleges breach of contract and duty of loyalty by Young, unfair competition by NowDx, and tortious interference with contractual relations by Berry and NowDx. NowDx filed Counterclaims against the Company on January 13, 2025 and the Company filed its Answer to the Counterclaims on February 3, 2025. Young filed a Motion to Dismiss the claims against her, which was denied by the court on February 4, 2025. NowDx, Berry, and Young agreed to a preliminary injunction which the Court entered on February 27, 2025.
- RETIREMENT PLANS:
Substantially all of the Company's U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the OraSure Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan permits voluntary employee contributions to be excluded from an employee’s current taxable income under provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and the regulations thereunder.
