Restructuring-related charges of $12.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 2024 were partially offset by an increase in gross profit driven by growth in consumable revenue. See Note 5. Restructuring in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

These conditions indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit may have been less than its carrying amount, prompting the performance of an interim goodwill impairment test. The results of the test confirmed that the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value.

Previous wording

Under the terms of our 2023 acquisition of Apton, we agreed to pay $25.0 million to former Apton equity holders if a high-throughput sequencer incorporating Apton’s technology generates $50.0 million in revenue within five years of the closing. Payment may be made in cash, stock, or a combination. As of June 30, 2025, due primarily to the decision to discontinue development of the system and revised revenue expectations, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was estimated at $0.

Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $73.4 million was due primarily to a $468.0 million net loss that included non-cash items such as amortization of acquired intangible assets of $367.4 million, an impairment charge of $15.0 million, share-based compensation of $21.1 million, $8.5 million of inventory adjustments, depreciation expense of $7.8 million, and $6.3 million in net changes to operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by an $18.7 million decrease in the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration. Cash flow impact from changes in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable and inventory, as well as decreases in accrued expenses and operating lease liabilities. These uses of cash were partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.

We recognized no impairment charge during the second quarter of 2025 and a goodwill impairment charge of $93.2 million during the second quarter of 2024. This charge was primarily attributable to a sustained decline in our stock price and revisions to the timing of expected future cash flows relative to our initial long-term plan, reflecting the continued impact of longer-than-anticipated median sales cycles and other contributing factors. These developments indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit may have been less than its carrying amount, prompting the performance of an interim goodwill impairment test. The results of the test confirmed that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value.
