Current report

We expect to incur operating losses into 2026 as we incur costs related to the following:

Current report

As previously disclosed, on August 4, 2025, we entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Kent Lake PR LLC, the general partner of Kent Lake Partners LP (together, “Kent Lake”), pursuant to which we agreed to retain an executive search firm to identify a potential candidate to be appointed to our board of directors (the “Board”). We also agreed to cooperate with Kent Lake to select an individual from the executive search firm’s list of six candidates and to appoint such person as a Class I director by December 1, 2025 (the “Target Date”). If we and Kent Lake do not agree on the selection of a candidate prior to the Target Date, Kent Lake will select one (1) candidate to be appointed to the Board from our three preferred candidates.

Current report

Also pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, we sought and obtained stockholder approval at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that declassified the Board, and we amended our bylaws to adopt a majority voting standard for uncontested director elections, with a plurality voting standard for contested director elections.

Current report

In the Cooperation Agreement, Kent Lake agreed to abide by certain voting commitments, customary standstill obligations and mutual non-disparagement and no litigation provisions until the date that is thirty days prior to the nomination deadline under the bylaws for the nomination of director candidates for election to the Board at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, unless the Cooperation Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

Current report

Total revenues increased $4.4 million, or 12%, to $40.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $35.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

For thethree months ended September 30, 2025, product revenue consisted of instrument sales of $7.2 million and sales of consumables and other products of $19.0 million. Product revenue increased $6.5 million, or 33%, to$26.2 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2025, compared to$19.7 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Akoya, which added $11.3 million of product revenues. The legacy Quanterix business decreased $4.8 million, or 25%, primarily due to the continued reduction in US federal research funding, which impacted demand from academic customers, and macro-economic conditions that continue to cause decreased demand from pharmaceutical customers as research and development spending and clinical trials slowed down.

Current report

We expect softness in instrument sales to continue in the remainder of 2025 as a result of what we believe is a constrained capital funding environment. As funding conditions improve, we anticipate a recovery in instrument demand. Additionally, by the end of 2025, we expect to launch an early access program for our next-generation Simoa instrument,

Current report

Service revenue increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $14.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Akoya, which added $5.9 million of service revenues, including $1.2 million of non-cash revenue. The non-cash revenue is from the off-market component of an acquired contract and represents a portion of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment that would have been recognized by a market participant.

Current report

Collaboration and license revenue was not material for thethree months ended September 30, 2025. These revenues decreased $0.3 million, or 79%, to$46 thousand , compared to$1.9 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to LDT and other diagnostic related license revenues in 2024 that have not repeated.

Current report

Research and development expense decreased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

The $0.1 million decrease was primarily due to the legacy Quanterix business as a result of a a $1.0 million decrease in costs of outside services, research lab supplies, and equipment to enable product development and a $0.9 million decrease in headcount and related compensation and benefit costs from the 2025 restructuring plan. These decreases were partially offset by the acquisition of Akoya which added $1.8 million of research and development expenses.

Current report

Total revenues decreased $7.2 million, or 7%, to $95.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $102.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Current report

For thenine months ended September 30, 2025, product revenue consisted of instrument sales of $11.8 million and sales of consumables and other products of $51.9 million. Product revenue increased $4.5 million, or 8%, to$63.7 million for thenine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to$59.3 million for thenine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Akoya, which added $11.3 million of product revenues. The legacy Quanterix business decreased $6.8 million, or 12%, primarily due to the continued reduction in US federal research funding, which impacted demand from academic customers, and macro-economic conditions that continue to cause decreased demand from pharmaceutical customers as research and development spending and clinical trials slowed down.

Current report

Service revenue decreased $9.5 million, or 24%, to $29.8 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of Akoya, which added $5.9 million of service revenues, including $1.2 million of non-cash revenue. The non-cash revenue is from the off-market component of an acquired contract and represents a portion of the purchase accounting fair value adjustment that would have been recognized by a market participant.

Current report

Through the acquisition of Akoya, the Company assumed a license and contingent payment obligation ("PKI License") from Akoya's 2018 purchase of the QPS division of PerkinElmer, Inc., subsequently known as Revvity, Inc. Under the PKI License, Akoya is required to pay single digit royalties based on net sales of certain products and services. Amounts due under the PKI License are payable annually through March 2033 and there is no limit on the amount of consideration that could be owed. Akoya's payments under the PKI License have historically been in the range of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million per year.

Current report

Through the acquisition of Akoya, the Company acquired a diagnostic development agreement with a biopharmaceutical customer of Akoya's. Under this agreement, Akoya is co-developing, validating, seeking regulatory approval for, and commercializing a diagnostic test to be used to identify patients for the biopharmaceutical company's treatment. We expect to continue to incur development costs under this contract, which were historically in the range of approximately $10.0 million to 11.0 million per year for Akoya.

Current report

Acquired customer contracts may contain off-market terms. We record an additional contract asset or liability for such favorable or unfavorable terms at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value involves significant judgment to assess the economic returns that could be realized in a market transaction and can include the following inputs in a valuation methodology, projected revenue, expected profit margin, and discount rates.

Current report

At least annually or whenever events or circumstances change, we assess whether an indefinite-lived intangible assets has been abandoned, in which case it would be written off, or if its estimated fair value is below its carrying value, in which case it could be impaired.

Current report

(1)Represents the amortization of the purchase price fair value increase of acquired inventory and property and equipment.

Previous report

Total revenues decreased $9.9 million, or 29%, to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

Research and development expense increased $0.9 million, or 11%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

For thesix months ended June 30, 2025, product revenue consisted of instrument sales of $4.6 million and sales of consumables and other products of $33.0 million. Product revenue decreased $2.0 million, or 5%, to$37.6 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2025, compared to$39.6 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a slowdown in US federal research funding that reduced demand from academic customers, and rapidly changing macro-economic conditions that caused decreased demand from pharmaceutical customers as research and development spending and clinical trials slowed down. We expect softness in instrument sales to continue in 2025 as a result of what we believe is a constrained capital funding environment. We believe instrument sales will recover with an improvement in the capital funding environment and further believe the introduction of our Simoa One instrument, which is expected to launch by the end of 2025, will help grow instrument sales in future years. We also expect the uncertain macro-economic environment to cause fluctuations in consumable sales for the remainder of 2025.

Previous report

Collaboration and license revenue increased $0.4 million, or 47%, to$1.3 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2025, compared to$0.9 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to royalties earned on certain consumables licensed to third parties.

Previous report

Research and development expense increased $4.2 million, or 28%, to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, on July 8, 2025 we acquired Akoya for consideration of approximately 7.8 million shares of Quanterix common stock and $19.6 million of cash. We additionally paid $82.1 million in cash to settle the Midcap Trust Term Loan.
Reworded paragraphs (63)

Previous wording

We are a life sciences company that develops and commercializes next-generation, ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platforms that advance life sciences research and diagnostics. Our platforms are based on our proprietary digital “Simoa” detection technology and enable customers to reliably detect protein biomarkers at ultra-low concentrations in blood, serum and other fluids that, in many cases, are undetectable using conventional, analog immunoassay technologies. The ability of our Simoa platforms to detect proteins in the femtomolar range enables the development of novel therapies and diagnostics and has the potential to identify early-stage disease markers before symptoms appear to facilitate a paradigm shift in healthcare from an emphasis on later-stage treatment to a focus on earlier detection, monitoring, prognosis, and, ultimately, prevention. Our Simoa platforms have achieved sign ificant commercial adoption with an installed base of over 1,000 instruments, and scientific validation with citations in more than 3,600 scientific publications in areas of high unmet medical need and research interest such as neurology, oncology and immunology, and inflammation.

Previous wording

We believe the acquisition of Akoya and subsequent integration activities should, over time, generate synergies that will offset the expenses and operating losses we otherwise expect to incur. As further described in the section titled "Recent Business Developments - Restructuring Costs" below, in July 2025 we implemented actions to realize some of the synergies of the acquisition. As a result of these actions and the continued integration activities, we expect the combined company will be cash flow breakeven in 2026.

As a result of these actions and our continued integration activities, we expect the combined company will be cash flow breakeven in 2026, although our ability to achieve this goal is dependent on our success in meeting both revenue and expense objectives.

Previous wording

During the second quarter of 2025, we assessed several events and circumstances, including a larger than expected decline in the Company's revenue and bookings primarily due to the rapidly changing macro-economic conditions resulting from reductions in US federal research funding, reductions in research and development spending by larger pharmaceutical customers, and new import tariffs. Based on a quantitative impairment test of our goodwill as of June 30, 2025, which estimated the implied fair value of our single reporting unit under a market valuation approach (using inputs such as our quoted stock price), we determined our entire goodwill balance was impaired. As a result, we recorded a $6.4 million impairment charge in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous wording

In May and July 2025, we announced plans to reduce operating costs, preserve cash, and realize anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Akoya acquisition. As part of these plans, we have implemented actions to reduce our operating expenses by approximately $30.0 million in 2025, which we expect to result in annualized savings of approximately $67.0 million. We expect to generate additional cost savings over the remainder of 2025, which we believe will increase our annualized savings to approximately $85.0 million.

Current wording

In May and July 2025, we announced actions to reduce operating costs, preserve cash, and realize anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Akoya acquisition, including reductions in our workforce. The actions we have implemented, or committed to implement in 2025, will reduce our annualized operating expenses by approximately $67.0 million. As we continue to integrate Akoya, we expect to take additional steps during the remainder of 2025 and into the first quarter of 2026 to further reduce our operating expenses, with a goal of reducing our annualized operating expenses by approximately $85.0 million.

Previous wording

We incurred expenses of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 and expect to incur expenses of approximately $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 related to the reductions in force, substantially all of which relate to cash expenditures for severance and related benefits. The reductions in force are expected to be substantially completed in the third quarter of 2025.

Current wording

We incurred expenses of $7.6 million in the aggregate in the second and third quarters of 2025 related to the reductions in force, substantially all of which relate to cash expenditures for severance and related benefits. These reductions in force are expected to be substantially completed in 2025.

Previous wording

For thethree months ended June 30, 2025, product revenue consisted of instrument sales of $2.0 million and sales of consumables and other products of $14.9 million. Product revenue decreased $3.1 million, or 15%, to$16.8 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2025, compared to$19.9 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a slowdown in US federal research funding that reduced demand from academic customers, and rapidly changing macro-economic conditions that caused decreased demand from pharmaceutical customers as research and development spending and clinical trials slowed down. We expect softness in instrument sales to continue in 2025 as a result of what we believe is a constrained capital funding environment. We believe instrument sales will recover with an improvement in the capital funding environment and further believe the introduction of our Simoa One instrument, which is expected to launch by the end of 2025, will help grow instrument sales in future years. We also expect the uncertain macro-economic environment to cause fluctuations in consumable sales for the remainder of 2025.

Current wording

Simoa ONE, to gather feedback from key users and customers. We also expect the uncertain macro-economic environment to cause fluctuations in consumable sales for the remainder of 2025.

Previous wording

Service revenue decreased $6.4 million, or 48%, to $7.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of a collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly and Company in the third quarter of 2024, which previously generated $1.5 million of revenue per quarter, as well as other large pharmaceutical projects in 2024 that have not repeated. While we continue to see strong opportunities with customers, the uncertain macro-economic environment is expected to continue to drive fluctuations in Accelerator Laboratory revenue in 2025.

Current wording

For the legacy Quanterix business, service revenue decreased $5.8 million, or 42%, primarily due to the completion of a collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly and Company in the third quarter of 2024, which previously generated $1.5 million of revenue per quarter, as well as other large pharmaceutical projects in 2024 that have not repeated. While we continue to see strong opportunities with customers, the uncertain macro-economic environment is expected to continue to drive fluctuations in Accelerator Laboratory revenue in the remainder of 2025.

Previous wording

Total cost of goods sold and services increased $1.0 million, or 8%, to$13.2 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2025, compared to$12.1 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2024.

Current wording

Total cost of goods sold and services increased $7.4 million, or 47%, to$23.0 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2025, compared to$15.7 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024.

Previous wording

Cost of product revenue increased $4.2 million, or 28%, to$19.1 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2025, compared to$14.9 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to (1) an increase in the inventory reserve for expiring materials, (2) decreased capitalization of labor and overhead costs as a result of lower production volume and output, and (3) an increase from the amortization of the intangible asset acquired as part of the Emission acquisition in January 2025. These increases were partially offset by lower royalty expenses due to lower sales.

Current wording

Cost of product revenue increased $4.8 million, or 46%, to$15.4 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2025, compared to$10.6 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarilydue to the acquisition of Akoya, which added $6.5 million to cost of product revenue and was partially offset by (1) a decrease in headcount and related compensation and benefit costs from the 2025 restructuring plan, (2) decreased capitalization of labor and overhead costs as a result of lower production volume and output, and (3) lower royalty expenses due to lower consumables sales.

Previous wording

Cost of service and other revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 29%, to $3.9 million for thethree months ended June 30, 2025, compared to$5.5 millionfor thethree months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was due to lower volumes ofsample testing and assay development services in our Accelerator Laboratory and a decrease in headcount and related compensation and benefits costs from the May 2025 restructuring.

Current wording

Cost of service and other revenue increased $2.5 million, or 50%, to $7.6 million for thethree months ended September 30, 2025, compared to$5.1 millionfor thethree months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarilydue to the acquisition of Akoya, which added $4.0 million to cost of service and other revenue and was partially offset by a decrease in Accelerator Laboratory headcount and related compensation and benefits costs from the 2025 restructuring plan.

Previous wording

The $0.9 million increase was partially due to a non-recurring $2.1 million charge associated with the contingent compensation payable under the acquisition of Emission. Excluding the effect of this charge, research and development expenses decreased $1.2 million from the prior year primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in costs of outside services, research lab supplies, and equipment to enable product development. We believe that our continued investment in research and development is essential to our long-term competitive position. We expect that the realization of anticipated synergies from the acquisition of Akoya should enable us to maintain research and development expense at a more consistent level in future periods.

Current wording

We believe that our continued investment in research and development is essential to our long-term competitive position. We expect that the realization of anticipated synergies from the acquisition of Akoya should enable us to maintain research and development expense at a more consistent level period to period in the future.

Previous wording

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.3 million, or 30%, to $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Included within selling, general, and administrative expense are shipping and handling costs for product sales of $1.3 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $16.2 million, or 71%, to $39.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $22.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Included within selling, general, and administrative expense are shipping and handling costs for product sales of $1.3 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

The $7.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense was partially due to $6.2 million of non-recurring costs, which included a $4.1 million increase in acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Akoya and a $2.1 million charge associated with the contingent compensation payable under the acquisition of Emission. Excluding the effect of these costs, the remaining $1.1 million increase was due to (1) a $0.7 million increase in professional services and consulting fees, primarily related to our efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Form 10-K, (2) a $0.7 million increase in compensation, benefit, and stock-based compensation expenses, (3) a $0.6 million one-time reimbursement in 2024 for a process improvement project, and (4) a $0.5 million increase related to a leased facility we began using in the fourth quarter of 2024. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in shipping and handling costs primarily due to lower sales and a $0.7 million decrease in our accounts receivable reserve due to improved collections efforts. We do not expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods at the same rate as total revenue or research and development expenses.

Current wording

The $16.2 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense was partially due to the acquisition of Akoya, which added $7.4 million of selling, general and administrative expenses. The legacy Quanterix business increased $8.8 million primarily due to (1) $4.7 million of non-recurring acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Akoya, (2) a $2.3 million increase in professional services and consulting fees, primarily related to strategic initiatives and corporate governance matters, (3) a $0.5 million increase related to a leased facility we began using in the fourth quarter of 2024, and (4) a $0.5 million one-time reimbursement in 2024 for a process improvement project,. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in headcount and related compensation and benefits costs from the 2025 restructuring plan. We do not expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods at the same rate as total revenue or research and development expenses.

Previous wording
