Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business
Quanterix Corporation (“Quanterix” or the “Company”) is a life sciences company that has developed next-generation, ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platforms that advance life sciences research and diagnostics. The Company’s platforms are based on its proprietary digital “Simoa” detection technology and enable customers to reliably detect protein biomarkers in ultra-low concentrations in blood, serum, and other fluids that, in many cases, are undetectable using conventional, analog immunoassay technologies. The ability of the Company’s Simoa platforms to detect proteins in the femtomolar range is enabling the development of novel therapies and diagnostics and has the potential to facilitate a paradigm shift in healthcare from an emphasis on treatment to a focus on earlier detection, monitoring, prognosis, and, ultimately, prevention.
The Company also provides contract research services for customers and Laboratory Developed Test (“LDT”) services through its Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (“CLIA”) certified Accelerator Laboratory (the “Accelerator Laboratory”). The Accelerator Laboratory provides customers with access to Simoa technology and its Lucent Diagnostics clinical testing services and supports multiple projects and services, including sample testing, homebrew assay development, custom assay development, and blood-based biomarker testing.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are not included. The Consolidated Balance Sheet and related information as of December 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis. Certain amounts in the prior years’ Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025. Since the date of that filing, there have been no changes or updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies, other than those described below.
In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 may not be indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2025, or any other period.
The Company’s fiscal year is the 12-month period from January 1 through December 31, and all references to “2025,” “2024,” and the like refer to that fiscal year unless otherwise noted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, leases, valuation and impairment of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, acquired assets and liabilities from acquisitions, recoverability of deferred tax assets, contingent consideration, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends, worldwide economic conditions, both general and specific to the life sciences industry, and other relevant factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Quanterix and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidation, the Company assesses the terms of non-marketable equity investments to determine if any meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and require consolidation into its Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 17 - Variable Interest Entities for further discussion.
Business Acquisition
On January 8, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Emission, Inc., a privately held company based in Georgetown, Texas. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions for further discussion.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. These subsidiary financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, average exchange rates during the corresponding period for revenue and expenses, and historical rates for equity. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) are included in other income, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Restricted Cash
The following table summarizes the period ending cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):
| As of March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $76,508 | $45,281 |
| Restricted cash (1) | 2,639 | 2,605 |
| Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $79,147 | $47,886 |
(1) Restricted cash consists of collateral for a letter of credit issued as security for two of the Company’s leased facilities and to secure the Company’s corporate credit card program. The short-term or long-term classification is determined in accordance with the expiration of the underlying letter of credit and security.
Recent Accounting Standards to be Adopted
In December 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new standard enhances annual income tax disclosure requirements by requiring specified categories and greater disaggregation within the tax rate reconciliation table, disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction, and additional disclosures of uncertain tax positions and the related financial statement impacts. The new standard will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This update enhances disclosure of an entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The update also requires entities to disclose qualitative descriptions of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The amendments in this update can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The new standard will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard on its Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures.
Note 3. Acquisitions
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805 -Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to record the acquired assets and liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets, at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess of the consideration transferred recorded to goodwill.
On January 8, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Emission, Inc. (“Emission”), a life sciences manufacturing company based in Georgetown, Texas. Emission produces large-scale, highly-uniform dye-encapsulating magnetic beads designed for low and mid-plex assays and a mid-plex platform that reads these proprietary beads. The transaction is part of the Company's plans to secure the use of Emission’s highly controlled beads in the Company's next generation platforms and expansion into a new multi-plex segment targeting third-party original equipment manufacturer customers.
Total Consideration Transferred
The following table summarizes the fair value of the aggregate consideration paid or payable for Emission (in thousands):
| Cash paid at closing (1) | $8,997 |
|---|---|
| Holdback (2) | 1,000 |
| Contingent consideration (3) | 6,612 |
| Total purchase consideration | $16,609 |
(1)Cash paid at close represents the contractual amount paid on the closing date and is reflected as an investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash acquired was not material.
(2)The holdback is expected to be paid during the first quarter of 2026 and is subject to applicable adjustments.
(3)The acquisition includes contingent consideration arrangements discussed below in the section titled “Contingent Consideration”.
Contingent Consideration
The Emission transaction includedtwo arrangements that could result in additional cash payments to the seller. An additional $10.0 million is payable upon completion of certain technical milestones (“Earnout 1”) and up to $50.0 million could be payable based on the amount and timing of certain performance targets over afive year period ending December 31, 2029 (“Earnout 2”).
Under ASC 805, the Company determined Earnout 1 is compensation expense and is therefore recognized separately from the business combination. In accordance with ASC 710 -Compensation, Earnout 1 will be recognized over the expected period certain technical requirements are transferred and certain milestones are completed, which the Company currently estimates to beseven months from the closing date of the acquisition. This expense is recorded in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The preliminary fair value of Earnout 2 on the acquisition date was $6.6 million, which represents purchase price and is included in the accounting for the business combination. Refer to Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further discussion.
Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities (in thousands):
| As of March 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Assets: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $43 |
| Accounts receivable, net of allowance for expected credit losses | 49 |
| Inventory | 307 |
| Intangible asset (1) | 12,700 |
| Goodwill (2) | 6,574 |
| Liabilities: | |
| Accounts payable | 56 |
| Deferred tax liability (3) | 3,007 |
| Net assets acquired | $16,610 |
(1)The acquired intangible asset is finite lived, represents developed technology, and has an estimated useful life of 14 years. The determination of the fair value of the finite-lived intangible asset required management judgment and the consideration of a number of factors. In determining the fair value, management primarily relied on a multi-period excess earnings valuation methodology. This methodology required the use of estimates, including projected revenues related to the particular asset; its obsolescence rate; royalty, margin, and discount rates; and certain published or readily available industry benchmark data. In establishing the estimated useful life of the acquired intangible asset, the Company relied primarily on the duration of the cash flows utilized in the valuation model.
(2)Goodwill represents the expected synergies from combining Emission with Quanterix as well as the value of the acquired workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
(3)Recorded in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Due to the timing of the acquisition in the first quarter of 2025, the purchase price allocation set forth above is preliminary. The Company continues to obtain the information to complete the purchase price allocation and will record adjustments, if any, during the measurement period subsequent to the acquisition date. Only facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.
The operating results of Emission have been included in the Company's financial statements since the acquisition date and are not material to the Company's consolidated financial results.
Acquisition costs related to the Emission transaction were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Call Option Agreement
In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Emission, the Company entered into a call option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), in which the Emission selling shareholders have the right to repurchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Emission for $10.0 million after five years if Emission’s revenues do not exceed $5.0 million in any one year during such five-year period. If the Emission selling shareholders exercise the right to repurchase Emission, the Company will retain a perpetual, fully-paid, irrevocable license to all Emission intellectual property required to continue to manufacture and commercialize the Company's products.
The Company determined that the call option is embedded in the purchased shares of Emission and does not require separate accounting unless exercised.
Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the amount an acquisition’s purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized; however it is required to be tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level. Testing for impairment is also required on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred.
A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or a component of an operating segment to the extent discrete financial information is available that is reviewed by segment management. The Company has determined it has one reporting unit.
Absent an event that indicates a specific impairment may exist, the Company has selected October 1 as the date for performing its annual goodwill impairment test. The impairment test is first performed at the reporting unit level using a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the reporting unit’s carrying value is compared to its fair value. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, and an impairment loss is recognized in amount equal to this excess.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Emission, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of March 31, 2025, utilizing a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company's reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and concluded that no impairment existed. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025 the Company hadno accumulated goodwill impairment losses.

(2)Earnout 2 included in the acquisition of Emission (refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions) requires additional consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders based on the amount and timing of certain performance targets over a five year period ending December 31, 2029. Monte-Carlo simulations were used to determine the fair value, including the following significant unobservable inputs: projected revenue, a risk adjusted discount rate, and revenue volatility. Increases or decreases in the inputs would have resulted in a higher or lower fair value measurement. The range of outcomes payable iszero to $50.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and non-current portion of contingent consideration on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as Level 2 financial assets are initially valued at their purchase price and subsequently valued at the end of each reporting period utilizing third party pricing services or other observable data. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation methods, including both income and market-based approaches, and observable market inputs to determine the fair value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates, and other industry and economic events.
The following table presents the changes in the Company's Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Level 3 Liabilities | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $— |
| Acquisition of Emission - Earnout 2 (1) | 6,612 |
| Change in fair value of contingent consideration (2) | 379 |
| Balance as of March 31, 2025 | $6,991 |
(1)Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions.
(2)The change in fair value subsequent to the acquisition date was due to the passage of time and is recorded in change in fair value of contingent consideration on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has a non-marketable equity investment in a privately held entity. Since there is minimal market activity or other financial information available to determine the fair value of the shares held by Quanterix, this investment is considered a Level 3 financial asset.
Pursuant to ASC 321 –Investments – Equity Securities, the Company uses the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values and recognizes its equity investment at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions. The shares received were valued at $0.8 million upon receipt, primarily using the third-party purchase price of similar interests. Changes in the inputs and assumptions used would have resulted in a higher or lower fair value measurement.
The Company’s non-marketable equity investment contains certain restrictions related to the sale or transfer of the securities. The restrictions are in place indefinitely and cannot lapse.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not record any fair value adjustments to its non-marketable equity investment. To date, the cumulative fair value adjustments have not been material. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the non-marketable equity investment was $0.8 million, and is recorded in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 17 - Variable Interest Entities for the Company's evaluation of investments in other entities under the VIE guidance.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not transfer financial assets between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques for Level 2 or Level 3 financial assets.
