Quanterix Corp

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business

Quanterix Corporation ("Quanterix" or the "Company") is a life sciences company transforming healthcare innovation by accelerating biomarker breakthroughs from discovery to diagnostics using its ultra-sensitive translational research and spatial biology instruments, consumables, and services. The Company continues to invest in pushing a paradigm shift in healthcare from an emphasis on later-stage treatment to a focus on earlier detection, monitoring, prognosis, and, ultimately, prevention.

Quanterix's proprietary digital "Simoa" detection technology enables 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. Multi-plexing biomarker analysis in tissue samples with the Company's "Spatial Biology" platforms enables scientists to understand the localized interactions occurring on the cellular level. The Company believes its combination of technologies will enable scientists to help drive diagnostic innovation in the evolving healthcare landscape with data across the tissue to fluid continuum. Currently, the ability of its Simoa platforms to detect proteins in the femtomolar range is enabling the development of novel therapies and diagnostics and has the potential to identify early-stage disease markers before symptoms appear.

The Company sells its proprietary instruments and related consumables worldwide to research laboratories, contract research organizations, academic institutions, and bio-pharmaceutical companies. In addition, the Company provides contract research services and clinical laboratory testing services, including four Laboratory Developed Tests ("LDT"), using its proprietary technology through its Accelerator Laboratory, which is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 ("CLIA") (the "Accelerator Laboratory").

Liquidity

The Company has recognized annual losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $577.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company incurred net losses of $107.2 million, $38.5 million, and $28.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.8 million and marketable securities of $88.4 million. The Company expects that its current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its operations for a period of at least one year from the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued.

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding annual financial reporting on Form 10-K.

The Company’s fiscal year is the twelve-month period from January 1 through December 31, and all references to "2025," "2024," and "2023," refer to the fiscal year unless otherwise noted. Certain amounts in the prior years’ Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

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 dates of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal year. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, valuation and impairment of goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities from acquisitions, valuation of contingent liabilities, recoverability of deferred tax assets, 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 include the accounts of Quanterix and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business Combinations

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 intangibles, at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess of the consideration transferred recorded to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized; however it is required to be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of a reporting period that falls within a measurement period (not to exceed a year from the date of acquisition), the Company records preliminary amounts. During the measurement period, the Company adjusts the preliminary amounts to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The Company records these adjustments to the preliminary amounts with a corresponding offset to goodwill. Any adjustments identified after the measurement period are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Acquired intangible assets consist of definite and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including developed technology, customer relationships, know-how, and in process research and development ("IPR&D"). Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over each asset’s estimated useful life. The Company accounts for IPR&D as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the underlying project is completed. Upon completion, the IPR&D asset is accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset.

For customer contracts acquired in an acquisition, the Company reassesses them under ASC 606 -Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") as if it had originated the contract, including assessing differences from the Company’s revenue policies and estimates. As part of this reassessment, under ASC 805, the Company elected the practical expedient to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred before the acquisition date. Differences from these reassessments, if any, are recorded as contract assets or deferred revenue.

Additionally, the Company assesses acquired customer contracts for off-market terms and records an additional asset or liability for favorable or unfavorable terms. Off-market assets or liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date based on the economic returns that could have been achieved by a market participant in a market transaction.

Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions for discussion of the Company's 2025 acquisitions.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally 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 income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company generates the majority of its revenues from contracts with customers and accounts for them pursuant to ASC 606. Refer to the section titled "Grant Revenue" below for discussion the Company’s accounting policy for revenue generated from grant awards.

For contracts with customers, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised products or services, for an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. The Company follows the five step revenue model prescribed by ASC 606 to determine revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenues are presented net of any sales, value added, or similar taxes collected from customers and remitted to the government.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the fees, payment terms, and rights of the parties regarding the products or services to be transferred are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that substantially all of the consideration for the products and services expected to be transferred is collectible. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay for services expected to be transferred, which is based on factors including the customer’s payment history, management’s ability to mitigate exposure to credit risk (for example, requiring payment in advance of the transfer of products or services, or the ability to stop transferring promised products or services in the event a customer fails to pay consideration when due), and experience selling to similarly situated customers.

The Company’s contracts may include either a single promise (referred to as a performance obligation) to transfer a product or service, or a combination of multiple promises to transfer products or services. The Company evaluates the existence of multiple promises within its contracts by using judgment to determine if (1) the customer can benefit from each contractual promise on its own or together with readily available resources and (2) the transfer of each contractual promise is separately identifiable from other promises in a contract. When both criteria are met, each promise is accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606 to account for shipping and handling as an activity to fulfill a promise to transfer a product, and therefore does not evaluate whether shipping and handling activities are promised services to its customers.

Contracts that include rights to additional products or services that are exercisable at a customer’s discretion are generally considered options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the customer and if so, the material right is considered a performance obligation. The identification of material rights requires judgment to determine the value of the option to purchase additional products and services in relation to options that may be provided to, and prices paid by, customers in the normal course of business. Material rights are recognized when exercised by a customer or upon expiration of the right.

The Company determines the transaction price of its contracts based on the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to, which is generally equal to the contract amount. In some cases, contracts contain variable consideration which primarily relates to (1) sales and usage-based royalties related to the license of intellectual property and (2) contracts with minimum purchase commitments. For sales and usage-based royalties, ASC 606 provides an exception to estimating variable consideration. Under this exception, the Company recognizes revenues from sales or usage-based royalty revenue at the later of when the sales or usage occurs or the satisfaction (or partial satisfaction) of the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated. All other variable amounts are constrained to the minimum guaranteed contract amount so that a reversal of cumulative revenue does not occur in future periods. Once there is no longer uncertainty over a variable amount, any incremental fees the Company is entitled to are allocated to the related performance obligation(s).

For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price among the performance obligations on a relative basis according to their standalone selling prices ("SSP"). Determining the SSP for performance obligations requires judgment and is based on factors including prices charged to customers in observable transactions, internal pricing objectives and list prices, pricing of similar products, expected costs to manufacture the Company's products, and estimated margins. The Company has more than one range of standalone selling prices for certain products and services based on the geographic location of customers and sales channel.

Product Revenue

The Company’s product revenues are composed of instruments, assay kits, replacement parts, instrument installation fees, and other consumables such as reagents and antibodies. Products are sold directly to customers and are also sold through distributors in EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. Direct instrument sales include installation and an initial year service-type warranty. The Company has determined that the instrument and installation are a combined performance obligation in cases where a customer has a contractual acceptance right that applies through the installation of the instrument. The included service-type warranty is considered a separate performance obligation since a customer could benefit from it independently with readily available resources and is capable of being sold on its own (with such warranty recorded in services and other revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations). Sales of instruments to distributors include a license to import and resell the instruments. The Company has determined these distributor licenses are part of a combined performance obligation with the instrument as the distributor only benefits from the combination of the instrument and ability to resell it.

Instrument sales may also be bundled with assays and other consumables, training, and/or an extended service warranty, each of which is considered a separate performance obligation.

Product revenues for direct instrument sales to customers are recognized when the related performance obligation(s) are satisfied (i.e. when transfer of control of the instrument passes to the customer). For direct instrument sales that require installation prior to contractual acceptance, the combined performance obligation is recognized upon completion of the instrument’s installation. For direct instrument sales that do not contain contractual acceptance and instrument sales to distributors, the instrument performance obligation is recognized based on the agreed upon shipping terms (either upon shipment or delivery) as that is when control of the product passes to the customer. When installation is a separate performance obligation, it is recognized upon completion.

Service Revenue

Service revenues are composed of contract research services, initial year of service-type warranties, extended services warranty contracts, repair services, and other services such as training. Contract research services are provided through the Company’s Accelerator Laboratory and generally consist of fixed fee contracts.

Revenues from contract research services are generally recognized over time, using an output method based on the number of completed test results, since the work performed does not have an alternative use and the contracts allow for the collection of transaction consideration for costs incurred plus a reasonable margin through the period of performance. For performance obligations that are not recognized over time, they are recognized at the point in time when the Company completes and delivers its research results on each individually completed study. Revenues from warranties and service contracts are recognized ratably over the contract service period since the customer simultaneously receives and benefits from the services.

Collaboration and License Revenue

Collaboration and license revenues are composed of revenue associated with licensing the Company’s technology, intellectual property, and know-how associated with the Company's instruments to third parties and for related services. License arrangements consist of sales or usage-based fees and/or future royalties. Revenues are recognized at the point in time the license is delivered as the underlying license is considered functional intellectual property since the customer has the right to use it when it is received. Royalty revenues that are sales or usage-based are recognized at the later of when the sales or usage occurs and the satisfaction (or partial satisfaction) of the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable represent rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company, when payment is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Also included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts resulting from revenue exceeding the amount billed to the customer, where the right to payment is unconditional. If the right to payment for services performed was conditional on something other than the passage of time, the unbilled amount would be recorded as a separate contract asset.

Generally, the Company’s contracts are non-cancellable. For contracts that are cancellable by the customer, the Company records accounts receivable only up to the amount of revenue recognized but not yet collected.

The Company’s payment terms vary by customer type and location and the products or services offered. Payment from customers is generally required 30 to 90 days from date of satisfaction of the performance obligation. Accounts receivable do not bear interest and the Company does not provide financing arrangements to its customers.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through accounts receivable from sales of its products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, a review of the current status of customers’ accounts receivable, and management’s ability to mitigate exposure to credit risk. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company monitors changes to the receivables balance on a timely basis, and balances are written off as they are determined to be uncollectible after collection efforts have been exhausted.

Deferred Revenue

The Company refers to contract liabilities as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized, primarily related to upfront payments for instruments, consumables, service warranties, and laboratory services.

Costs to Obtain Contracts

The Company capitalizes commissions paid to its sales representatives and related fringe benefit costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts. Capitalized commissions are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These commissions are amortized over the life of the contract and are recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has elected the practical expedient allowing commissions with an amortization period of one year or less to be expensed as incurred.

Commissions associated with instrument and consumables sales are earned when the related revenue is recognized. Commissions associated contract research services, warranty, and extended service contracts are earned upon booking.

The Company evaluates potential impairment of these amounts at each balance sheet date, andno related impairments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Warranties

For instruments sold directly to customers, the Company provides an initial year of service-type warranty and also sells extended warranty contracts for additional periods beyond the initial year. The service-type warranty guarantees that the Company's instruments are free from material defects in workmanship and materials, excluding normal wear and tear, and includes maintenance services. Under ASC 606, the Company concluded that the initial year service-type warranty is a separate performance obligation since a customer could benefit from it independently with readily available resources and it is capable of being sold on its own. The Company recognizes revenue for these service-type warranties ratably over the service period.

For products sold to distributors, the Company provides an initial year of assurance-type warranty which guarantees that the products conform to the Company's published specifications. Assurance-type warranties do not create a separate performance obligation under ASC 606. In accordance with ASC Topic 460 –Guarantees, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated assurance-type warranty expense and records the expense in cost of product revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts recognized for assurance-type warranties during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were not material.

Grant Revenue

Accounting for grants does not fall under ASC 606, as the grantor will not benefit directly from the Company’s expansion or product development, and no products or services are transferred to the grantor. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for grants to for profit business entities from government entities, the Company accounts for grants by analogy to International Accounting Standards Topic 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance("IAS 20") and ASC Topic 958, Not for-Profit Entities ("ASC 958"). The decision to account for a grant under IAS 20 or ASC 958 is based on whether the grantor is a government entity.

The Company recognizes grant revenue as the Company performs services under the arrangement when the funding is committed and as each grant’s activities are performed. The timing of revenue recognition and receipt of funding varies by grant and can be independent from performance of the related activities, such as an upfront payment of the award value, or subsequent to the Company’s requests for reimbursement for already performed activities (subject to the approval of the granting organization).

Cost of Product Revenue

Cost of product revenue consists of manufacturing and assembly costs for instruments, related reagents, other consumables, contract manufacturer costs, personnel costs, allocated overhead, and other direct costs related to product sales. Raw material part costs include inbound shipping and handling costs associated with purchased goods, contract manufacturer costs, personnel costs, overhead and other direct costs related to product sales. Additionally included in cost of product revenue is amortization expense for intangibles that relate to the sale of products and royalty fees due to third parties from revenue generated by collaboration or license deals.

Cost of Service and Other Revenue

Cost of services and other revenue consists of direct costs associated with operating the Company’s Accelerator Laboratory on behalf of its customers, including raw materials, personnel costs, allocated overhead costs that include facility and other related costs, and other direct costs. Additional costs include costs related to warranties, and other costs of servicing equipment at customer sites.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, research supplies, third-party development costs for new products, materials for prototypes, quality assurance, amortization expense for intangibles that relate to the development of products, and allocated overhead costs that include facility and other related costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expense consists of personnel costs for our sales and marketing, finance, legal, human resources, and general management teams, shipping and handling for product sales, acquisition related costs, other general and administrative costs, as well as professional services costs, such as marketing, advertising, legal and accounting services, and allocated overhead costs that include facility and other related costs. The classification of shipping and handling costs for product sales varies from company to company with some companies recording these as selling, general and administrative expenses and others recording such expenses within costs of goods sold for products. To the extent the classification of the Company's shipping and handling costs differs from the reporting approach used by other companies, the Company’s gross margins may not be comparable with those reported by such other companies.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is calculated under the treasury stock method by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding reflect the dilutive effect, if any, of potential common shares issued, such as unvested common stock, unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"), common stock options, and shares estimated to be purchased under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"). During periods when the Company is in a net loss position, these potential common shares are excluded from the diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders were the same for all periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits and short-term, highly liquid marketable securities that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following (in thousands):

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):

Restricted cash consists of collateral for letters of credit issued as security for several 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.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s current portfolio of marketable securities is entirely debt securities and may at any time include commercial paper, U.S. Treasuries, corporate notes and bonds, U.S. Government agency bonds, certificates of deposit, and similar types of debt securities. Marketable debt securities with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are recorded in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are considered highly liquid and readily convertible into cash. All other marketable securities, including those with maturities beyond one year, are recorded as current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on their highly liquid nature and because such securities are available for use in current operations.

The Company classifies its marketable securities as either held to maturity, available-for-sale, or trading at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. All of the Company’s marketable securities are currently classified as available-for-sale as it may use them in current operations. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value (refer to Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments).

Unrealized gains and losses (other than impairment or credit related losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At least quarterly, the Company monitors its marketable securities for impairment. In the event a security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates whether an impairment exists and if the impairment is a result of credit loss or other factors. For a security in an unrealized loss position, if the Company intends to sell the security in an unrealized loss position, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the security’s fair value and amortized cost basis is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, the Company determines if a credit loss exists by considering information about the collectability of the security, current market conditions, and the issuer’s financial condition. If a decline in fair value is a result of a credit loss, an allowance for credit losses is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, limited to the portion attributed to the credit loss.

The Company presents accrued interest receivable separately from its marketable securities balance and has elected the practical expedient to exclude such amounts from the assessment and measurement of impairment of its marketable securities. Such accrued interest is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Inventory

Inventory consists of instruments, assays, and the materials required to manufacture instruments and assays.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis or average cost basis and includes the cost of materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead. The Company analyzes its inventory levels on each reporting date for slow-moving, excess, and obsolete inventory, and inventory expected to expire prior to being used. These analyses require judgment and are based on factors including, but not limited to, recent historical activity, anticipated or forecasted demand for the Company’s products and scientific data supporting the estimated life of materials that expire. If the Company identifies adverse conditions exist, such as unfavorable changes in estimated customer demand, the lives of materials that expire, or actual market conditions that may differ from its projections, the carrying value of the inventory is reduced to its estimated net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas significant expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized as additions to property and equipment.

Depreciation is calculated based upon the following estimated useful lives:

The Company develops and modifies internal use software supporting the Company’s operations. Certain costs incurred during the application development stage including external direct costs of services used in the development or internal personnel costs for employees directly associated with the development, are capitalized and are recorded in property and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company begins depreciating these costs over the life of the related asset upon completion of a working model or when it is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post-configuration stages are expensed as incurred.

The Company also develops software related to the operation of some of its instruments. which is accounted for under ASC 985 -Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred after the software reaches technological feasibility and amortizes it once the software is available to customers. The Company did not incur any such costs during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Cloud Computing Costs

For cloud computing arrangements that include a software license or software-as-a-service contracts, certain implementation costs incurred are capitalized and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Once the software is ready for its intended use, the capitalized costs are amortized over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing service contract, plus any optional renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Leases

The Company primarily enters into operating leases for office, laboratory, manufacturing spaces, and office equipment, and determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. The Company accounts for a lease when it has the right to control the leased asset for a period of time, while obtaining substantially all of the assets’ economic benefits. Leases are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term and any initial direct costs incurred. Initial direct costs are incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis for a similar term and amount, as generally an implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. To estimate its incremental borrowing rate, a credit rating applicable to the Company is estimated using a synthetic credit rating analysis since the Company does not currently have an agency-based credit rating.

The Company’s lease agreements can contain lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for the lease and fixed payments for non-lease components as a single lease component under ASC 842 –Leases, which increases the amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Most of the Company’s lease agreements also contain variable payments, primarily maintenance, utility, and other-related costs, which are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.

Some of the Company’s leases contain options to extend or terminate the lease. When determining the lease term, these options are included in the measurement and recognition of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option(s). The Company considers various economic factors when making this determination, including, but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred in the leased space, the difficulty in replacing the asset, underlying contractual obligations, and specific characteristics unique to a particular lease. Subsequent to entering into a lease arrangement, the Company reassesses the certainty of exercising options to extend or terminate a lease. When it becomes reasonably certain that the Company will exercise an option that was not included in the lease term, the Company accounts for the change in circumstances as a lease modification, which results in the remeasurement of the ROU asset and lease liability as of the modification date.

Leases with a term of 12 months or less upon commencement are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded to expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or whenever events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. 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.

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. Prior to the third quarter of 2025, the Company determined it hadone reporting unit. After the acquisition of Akoya, the Company determined it hadtwo reporting units, consisting of the legacy Quanterix business and the Akoya business.

An impairment assessment requires evaluating a potential impairment using either a qualitative assessment, to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or a quantitative analysis, to determine and compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, or a combination of both. Judgment is required in determining the use of a qualitative or quantitative assessment, as well as in determining a reporting unit’s estimated fair value, as it requires the Company to make estimates of market conditions and operational performance items such as projected financial results, discount rates, control premiums, or valuation multiples for key financial metrics.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an impairment charge on its goodwill balance related to the acquisition of Emission. Refer to Note 4 - Goodwill & Intangible Assets for further discussion. The Company had no goodwill recorded at December 31, 2024.

At least annually or whenever events or circumstances change, the Company assesses whether IPR&D 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including definite lived intangible assets, right of use assets, and property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset(s) may not be fully recoverable or that the estimated useful lives may warrant revision. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses the determination of its asset groups, which primarily focuses on changes in the Company's operating structure, the way in which it expects to deploy its assets, or how the Company intends to recover the cost of its assets.

To assess the recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for the estimated remaining useful life, or estimated lease term, of the asset (or the primary asset in the asset group) to its carrying value. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, the Company estimates the asset's fair value using the future discounted cash flows associated with the use of the asset. To the extent that the discounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset(s) are impaired and written down to their estimated fair value.

Significant judgment is required to estimate future cash flows, including, but not limited to, estimates about future revenues, expenses, asset disposal value, expected uses of the asset (group), historical customer retention rates, technology roadmaps, customer awareness, trademark and trade name history, contractual provisions that could limit or extend an asset's useful life, market data, discount rates, and potential sublease opportunities including rent and rent escalation rates, time to sublease, and free rent periods.

Refer to Note 15 - Leases for a discussion of operating lease impairment charges recorded in 2025.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and benefits, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Additionally, the Company has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis including cash equivalents, marketable securities, and contingent liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments are classified as Level 1, 2, or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as follows:

•Level 1: Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

•Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and such inputs are significant to the fair value of the assets. These inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset.

To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. On an ongoing basis, the Company reassess the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, weighing positive and negative evidence to assess their recoverability.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a more likely than not threshold for recognizing uncertain tax positions, in accordance with ASC 740 –Income Taxes. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors that include, but are not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions on an ongoing basis and adjusts any liability recorded to reflect subsequent changes in the relevant facts surrounding the uncertain positions. Amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, are recorded in income tax benefit (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Credit, Product, and Supplier Concentrations, and Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. The Company limits its risk exposure by having its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held at large commercial banks and investing in highly rated marketable securities. Maximum exposure to losses related to cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable are limited to their carrying amounts.

As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, no customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's gross accounts receivable. Customers outside the United States represented 42% and 40% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no customers accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, one customer of approximately $14.0 million of revenue accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue.

The Company is also subject to supply chain risks related to outsourced manufacturing for most of its instruments. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers for its instruments, the Company believes that other suppliers could provide similar manufacturing on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect operating results. In addition to outsourced manufacturing of some of its instruments, the Company also purchases antibodies through a number of different suppliers. Although a disruption in service from any one of its antibody suppliers is possible, the Company believes that it would be able to find an adequate supply from alternative suppliers.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes stock-based compensation expense by calculating the estimated fair value of stock options, RSUs, or purchase rights issued under the Company’s ESPP on the grant date. The Company generally issues new common shares upon exercise of options and vesting of RSUs. Awards granted by the Company are routine in nature including new hire, annual, and promotion grants.

The fair value of stock options and purchase rights under the ESPP is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the Company to make assumptions about the expected or contractual term of the option or purchase right, the expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield. The Company estimates the expected term of options granted to employees utilizing historical exercise data. The expected term is applied to the stock option grant group as a whole, as the Company does not expect substantially different exercise or post-vesting termination behavior among its employee population. The expected volatility is based on the Company’s historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, commensurate with the expected term. The expected dividend yield iszero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on common stock.

The fair value of RSUs is determined using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over an award’s requisite service period, which is the vesting period for stock options and RSUs, and the offering period for purchase rights under the ESPP. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Restructuring Costs

The Company records restructuring charges when a restructuring plan is approved and the amounts to be incurred are estimable. Restructuring costs are comprised of employee separation costs, primarily severance and related benefit payments, and any associated costs related to implementing a restructuring plan to reorganize operations.

Refer to Note 19 - Restructuring for further discussion on the restructuring plan implemented during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note 3. Acquisitions

Akoya Biosciences, Inc.

On July 8, 2025 (the "Akoya Closing Date"), the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28, 2025, by and among the Company, Wellfleet Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Akoya Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On the Akoya Closing Date, Wellfleet Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Akoya (the "Merger"), with Akoya surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Akoya is a life sciences technology company based in Marlborough, Massachusetts delivering spatial biology solutions focused on transforming discovery, clinical research and diagnostics. The acquisition is part of the Company's plans to establish an ecosystem to identify and measure biomarkers across tissue and blood, expand its technology offerings into oncology and immunology, and expand its portfolio of laboratory service offerings.

Total Consideration Transferred

The following table presents the fair value of the consideration transferred for the Merger as of the Akoya Closing Date (in thousands, except for exchange ratio and stock price):

(1) Represents cash consideration paid to Akoya stockholders, including fractional shares, of $0.37 per share of Akoya common stock.

(2) Represents the repayment of Akoya’s long-term debt upon closing of the acquisition, including $7.0 million of early termination, legal, and prepayment fees.

(3) Represents the fair value of certain equity-based awards held by Akoya employees prior to the acquisition date that have been replaced with Quanterix equity-based awards. The portion of these awards that relates to services performed prior to the acquisition date are included within the purchase price.

Upon completion of the Merger, the Company assumed Akoya's stock incentive plans. All Akoya RSUs that were outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger were automatically adjusted by an exchange ratio and converted into a RSU award covering shares of the Company's common stock on the same terms and conditions, including continuing vesting requirements.

Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

(1)The Company recorded a measurement period adjustment resulting from new information obtained related to an off-market liability and related tax impacts.

(2)Goodwill represents the estimated fair value of the expected synergies from combining Akoya with Quanterix, as well as the value of the acquired workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes and has been fully assigned to the Akoya reporting unit.

The determination of the fair values the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves significant judgment in selecting inputs used in the valuation methodologies, including, but not limited to, projected revenues and expenses, future changes in technology, estimated selling prices, replacement costs or margins, customer attrition rates, covenants not to compete, obsolescence of developed technologies, the likelihood and timing of achieving milestones or performance targets, discount rates, and assumptions about the period of time a brand will continue to be used. The use of different estimates could produce different results.

The purchase price allocation set forth above is preliminary as the Company continues to obtain information to complete the purchase price allocation.

Intangible Assets

The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date was as follows (in thousands):

The total weighted-average useful life of acquired, definite-lived intangible assets was 9.6 years at acquisition.

In determining the fair values, management primarily relied on income based approaches using Level 3 inputs. A multi-period excess earnings valuation methodology was used for the developed technology and IPR&D intangible assets, and a distributor method was used for the customer relationships intangible. These income approaches required the use of estimates including: projected revenues and expenses related to the particular asset, obsolescence rates, customer retention rates, discount rates, and certain published or readily available industry benchmark data. In establishing the estimated useful life of each definite-lived intangible asset, the Company relied primarily on the duration of the cash flows utilized in the valuation model.

Off-Market Customer Contract

The Company assessed the unfavorable terms of an acquired contract between Akoya and a customer and recorded a $16.7 million off-market liability as of the acquisition date. The Company determined the preliminary fair value of the off-market component based on an income approach using Level 3 inputs. This income approach required the use of estimates including: projected revenue, expected profit margin, and a discount rate. The off-market liability is a non-cash balance that will be recognized into revenue as the Company satisfies the associated performance obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $2.7 million of non-cash revenue from the amortization of the off-market liability.

Financial Results

The operating results of Akoya have been included in the Company's financial statements since the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the acquisition added $33.7 million of revenue to total revenues and a loss of $12.0 million to net loss.

The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below was derived from historical financial records of Quanterix and Akoya and presents the operating results for the periods presented as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024 (in thousands):

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes adjustments primarily to reflect (1) additional amortization expense for the acquired intangible assets, (2) additional amortization of the fair value increases of acquired inventory and property and equipment, (3) elimination of interest expense from the repayment of Akoya’s long-term debt, and (4) recognition of additional non-cash revenue from the amortization of an off-market liability. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 2024, nor are they indicative of future results.

Emission, Inc.

On January 8, 2025 (the "Emission Closing Date"), 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 market 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 as of the Emission Closing Date (in thousands):

(1)Cash paid represents the contractual amount paid on the Emission Closing Date. 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 discussed in the section titled "Contingent Payments".

Contingent Payments

The Emission transaction includedtwo arrangements that result in additional cash payments to the seller. An additional $10.0 million was paid in the forth quarter of 2025 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 was compensation expense and was recognized separately from the business combination. In accordance with ASC 710 -Compensation, Earnout 1 was recognized over the period certain technical requirements were transferred and certain milestones were achieved. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $5.1 million in research and development and $4.9 million in selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to Earnout 1.

The 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. 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. Refer to Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further discussion.

Allocation of Purchase Price

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

(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 definite-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 estimated fair value of 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. During the second quarter of 2025 the Company recorded an impairment charge related to this goodwill (refer to Note 4 - Goodwill & Intangible Assets).

(3)Recorded in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. No measurement period adjustments have been recorded since the Emission Closing Date.

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.

Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs related to the Company's business combinations were $12.4 million and $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are recorded in selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 4. Goodwill & Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Impairment

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company 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 U.S. federal research funding, reductions in research and development spending by larger pharmaceutical customers, and new import tariffs. As a result, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that that the fair value of its then single reporting unit was less than its carrying value and performed a quantitative impairment test for its goodwill. The Company estimated the implied fair value of its reporting unit using a market valuation approach, which included inputs such as the Company's quoted stock price. As a result of the quantitative test, the Company concluded that the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Emission was fully impaired and recorded animpairment charge of $6.4 million.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, the Company performed additional quantitative interim impairment tests as result of continued events and circumstances that indicated its remaining goodwill could be impaired. The Company estimated its reporting units' implied fair values based on an income valuation approach using Level 3 inputs, which used estimates including: projected revenues and expenses, obsolescence rates, customer retention rates, a discount rate, and certain published or readily available industry benchmark data. As a result of these quantitative tests, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired as of either date.

The Company performed its annual impairment test as of October 1, 2025 and concluded its goodwill was not impaired. The annual impairment test utilized a qualitative analysis since an interim impairment test had been performed immediately prior to the annual test and no additional events or changes in circumstances occurred between the interim test and annual test.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows (in thousands):

(1) Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions.

Intangible Assets, Long-Lived Assets, and Impairment

As a result of the acquisitions of Akoya and Emission, the Company reassessed its asset groups. Primarily due to management's updated expectations of how it plans to deploy and recover the costs of its assets, the Company determined the assets acquired in the Akoya and Emission acquisitions would each become their own asset group, along with vacant leased facilities which are each evaluated as separate asset groups for the purposes of assessing recoverability.

Prior to performing each of its goodwill impairment tests, the Company tested the recoverability of its long-lived assets. The Company utilized an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if the cash flows expected to be generated by each of its asset groups over the remaining estimated useful lives of each group's primary asset were sufficient to recover the carrying value of each asset group. Significant assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results utilized to calculate undiscounted cash flows include: projected revenues and expenses and market conditions related to these assets. The Company also estimated the disposal value of certain asset groups by relying on a market based valuation approach using Level 2 inputs. Collectively, these assumptions and estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Company. Changes in the estimates or assumptions used could materially affect the determination of recoverability. Potential events and circumstances that could have an adverse impact on the Company's estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, lower than expected bookings growth, increases in costs, and other macroeconomic factors.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that none of its intangible or other long-lived assets were impaired, other than a portion of its operating lease right of use assets as described in Note 15 - Leases.

Should economic conditions deteriorate further or remain depressed for a prolonged period of time, estimates of future cash flows for each of the Company’s asset groups may be insufficient to support their carrying value, requiring an impairment. Impairment charges, if any, may be material to the results of operations and financial position.

Acquired intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands, except useful life and weighted average life amounts):

The Company recorded amortization expense of $7.6 million, $1.6 million, and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Amortization of know-how and developed technology is recorded in cost of goods sold, and amortization of customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and trade names is recorded in selling, general and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Future estimated amortization expense is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Note 5. Revenue and Related Matters

The Company’s customers primarily consist of entities engaged in the life sciences research that pursue the discovery and development of new drugs for a variety of neurologic, oncologic, cardiovascular, infectious disease, and other protein biomarkers associated with diseases. The Company’s customer base includes pharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research organizations, academic, and government institutions.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of transaction prices allocated to performance obligations that were not yet satisfied, or were partially satisfied, was $26.6 million. Of this amount $20.7 million is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, with the remaining $5.8 million expected to be recognized thereafter. The $5.8 million primarily consists of amounts billed for undelivered services related to extended service-type warranties and research services.

Note 6. Allowance for Credit Losses

The change in the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note 7. Marketable Securities

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities by major security type were as follows (in thousands):

The following table shows the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company’s marketable securities aggregated by major security type and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any individual securities in a continuous loss position for greater than 12 months, and there were no individual securities that were in a significant unrealized loss position. For marketable securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company does not intend to sell them, it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost bases, and the unrealized losses are not credit related.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold $35.9 million of marketable securities. Realized gains related to the sale were not material. The Company didnot sell any marketable securities or record any realized gains or losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any impairment losses or a credit loss allowance on its marketable securities.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $0.7 million and $1.6 million of accrued interest receivable on its marketable securities, respectively.

The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company’s marketable securities (in thousands):

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(1)Included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2)The Company's recurring fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs related to the Company's contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of Emission and the contingent liability assumed in the acquisition of Akoya.

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.

Level 3 Financial Instruments

The following table presents the changes in the Company's Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which consist of contingent liabilities:

(1)Earnout 2 requires additional consideration to be paid to the selling shareholders based on the amount and timing of certain performance targets. Earnout 2 is measured and paid over afive year period ending December 2029.

(2)As part of Akoya's 2018 acquisition of the Quantitative Pathology Solutions division of Perkin Elmer, Inc., subsequently known as Revvity, Inc. ("PKI"), Akoya entered into a license agreement with PKI (the "PKI License") (refer to Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies). The Company recognizes the assumed contingent liability at fair value in accordance with ASC 805. The PKI License is measured and paid over the remaining eight year period ending March 2033.

Monte-Carlo simulations and discounted cash flow analyses were used to determine the fair values of the Level 3 liabilities, including the following significant unobservable inputs: projected revenue, a risk adjusted discount rate, and revenue volatility. Changes in fair value subsequent to the acquisition date were due to updated valuation inputs and the passage of time. Increases or decreases in the inputs would have resulted in higher or lower fair value measurements.

The range of outcomes payable for Earnout 2 iszero to $50.0 million. It is not possible to estimate a range of outcomes payable for the PKI License as there is no cap on the amount that could be earned.

The fair value of the contingent liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and non-current portion of contingent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are recorded in change in fair value of contingent liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

During the years ended December 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.

Note 9. Inventory

(1)Represents the holdback associated with the Emission acquisition. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions.

(2)Represents the current portion of an off-market component of an acquired customer contract in the acquisition of Akoya. Refer to Note 3 - Acquisitions.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In December 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), under which it may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, RSUs, and other stock-based awards. As of December 31, 2017, the 2017 Plan allowed for the issuance of (1) up to 1.0 million shares of common stock and (2) up to 2.5 million shares of common stock represented by awards granted under the 2007 Stock Option and Grant Plan (which was terminated upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering) that were forfeited, expired, or cancelled without delivery of shares or which result in the forfeiture of shares of common stock back to the Company on or after the date the 2017 Plan became effective. The 2017 Plan contains an “evergreen” provision, which allows for an annual increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Plan on the first day of each fiscal year during the period beginning in 2019 and ending in 2027. The annual increase is equal to the lowest of (1)4% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of such date and (2) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee. As of December 31, 2025,6.2 million shares were outstanding and there were 4.9 million shares available for grant under the 2017 Plan.

In December 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2017 ESPP”). As of December 31, 2019, the 2017 ESPP allowed for the issuance of up to 0.6 million shares of common stock. The 2017 ESPP contains an “evergreen” provision, which allows for an increase in the number of shares under the plan on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with 2018 and ending in 2027. The increase is equal to the lowest of: (1)1% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (2) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee. As of December 31, 2025,1.9 million shares were available for grant under the 2017 ESPP. The 2017 ESPP provides for six-month offering periods commencing and ending on March 1 through August 31, and September 1 through February 28. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, employees purchased 0.2 million,0.1 million, and 0.1 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the 2017 ESPP.

In July 2025, the Company adopted the Quanterix Corporation Restricted Stock Unit Inducement Awards Plan (the "Inducement Plan"). The Inducement Plan allows for issuance of up to 0.5 million shares of Quanterix common stock, consisting of: (i) up to 0.2 million shares of Quanterix common stock that may be become available for issuance again under the 2021 Akoya Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the terms of such plan and (ii)0.3 million shares of Quanterix common stock issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units granted to Akoya employees as an inducement to employment with Quanterix following the Merger.

In November 2025, the Company adopted the 2025 Inducement Plan which allows for issuance of up to 0.9 million shares of Quanterix Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, equity awards issued under the Inducement Plan and the 2025 Inducement Plan are restricted to individuals who are not already employees or directors of the Company.

Stock Options

Under the 2017 Plan, stock options may not be granted with exercise prices of less than fair market value on the date of the grant. Options generally vest ratably over afour-year period with 25% vesting on the first anniversary and the remaining 75% vesting ratably on a monthly basis over the remaining three years. These options expireten years after the grant date.

Stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 is presented below (in thousands, except per share and contractual life amounts):

The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of awards granted was $5.85 in 2025, $14.43 in 2024, and $10.63 in 2023. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised wasnot material in 2025, $1.9 million in 2024, and $1.9 million in 2023.

Effective Tax Rate Reconciliation

In accordance with the Company's prospective adoption of ASU 2023-09 effective for its annual financial statements beginning January 1, 2025, the following table is a reconciliation of the Company's income taxes and its effective tax rate as compared to the United States ("U.S.") federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands, except percentages):

(1)The state that contributes to the majority of the state and local tax effect is Massachusetts.

The Company's effective income tax rate for 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the valuation allowance maintained against the Company’s net deferred tax assets as well as non-deductible items including stock-based compensation, transactions costs, and goodwill impairment.

A reconciliation of the Company's effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the guidance prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, was as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company records deferred tax assets in other non-current assets and deferred tax liabilities in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

The change in the Company's valuation allowance was as follows (in thousands):

The increase in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to U.S. operating losses incurred. The increase was partially offset by the release of a portion of the valuation allocation related to taxable temporary differences recorded as part of the Emission and Akoya acquisitions. These temporary differences are treated as a source of income for pre-existing U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers the cumulative book income and loss positions of each of its entities, as well as its worldwide cumulative loss position. The Company has assessed, on a jurisdictional basis, the available means of recovering deferred tax assets, including the ability to carry back net operating losses (“NOLs”), the existence of reversing taxable temporary differences, the availability of tax planning strategies, and forecasted future taxable income. At December 31, 2025, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its worldwide net deferred tax assets, as it concluded that it was more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be utilized.

Tax Attributes

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $597.7 million. U.S. federal NOLs generated through December 31, 2017 of approximately $111.1 million expire at various dates through 2037, and U.S. federal NOLs generated after December 31, 2017 of approximately $486.6 million do not expire. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal tax credit carryforwards of approximately $13.2 million that expire at various dates through 2045.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $374.4 million of state NOLs, approximately $348.4 million of which expire at various dates through 2045, and approximately $26.0 million of which do not expire. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $6.6 million that expire at various dates through 2040.

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, if a corporation undergoes an ownership change, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-ownership change NOLs and other pre-ownership change tax attributes, such as research tax credits, to offset its post-change income and taxes may be limited. Generally, an ownership change occurs if there is a cumulative change in an entity’s ownership by 5% stockholders that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under U.S. state tax laws. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), the use of federal NOLs arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 is limited to 80% of current year taxable income and NOLs arising in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017 may not be carried back (though any such NOLs may be carried forward indefinitely).

The Company may have experienced an ownership change in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of future transactions in its share capital, some of which may be outside of the control of the Company. As a result, if the Company earns net taxable income, its ability to use its pre-ownership change NOLs, or other pre-ownership change tax attributes, to offset U.S. federal and state taxable income and taxes may be subject to significant limitations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not completed a Section 382 analysis.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions are classified as other unrecognized tax benefits. These unrecognized benefits are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, including management’s judgment in the interpretation of applicable tax law, regulation of tax rulings, the progress of tax audits, and the closing of statute of limitations.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company increased its gross unrecognized tax benefits $9.8 million, primarily due to tax benefits relating to federal and state research and development tax credits. These unrecognized tax benefits were related to tax positions taken by Akoya in prior years. The unrecognized tax benefits were recorded as a reduction to the related deferred tax asset. If recognized in the future, the entire $9.8 million would not impact the Company's effective tax rate due to the current valuation allowance recorded. As a result, it is estimated that any future release would increase the valuation allowance and not generate an income rate benefit. Prior to 2025, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalty charges, if any, would be classified as income tax benefit (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Tax Disclosures

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States as well as the Netherlands, Sweden, China, and the United Kingdom. At December 31, 2025, the Company is generally no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities in the United States for years prior to 2022. However, NOLs and tax credits in the United States may be subject to adjustments by taxing authorities in future years in which they are utilized. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries remain open to examination by taxing authorities from 2018 onward.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. These changes are reflected in our results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and did not have a material impact.

Cash Paid for Taxes

The following table summarizes income taxes paid in 2025 (in thousands):

Cash paid for taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Note 15. Leases

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company acquired certain leases through the acquisition of Akoya and did not enter into any material leases. At December 31, 2025, the Company had no additional leases which had not yet commenced. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are located in North America.

The Company has leased facilities, including leases acquired in acquisitions, that are vacant and are not used in its operations. At the point a decision is made to stop use of a leased facility, the Company moves the related ROU asset and leasehold improvements into their own asset group and performs quarterly impairment assessments. The impairment analyses evaluate the present value of net cash flows under the original leases and the estimated cash flows under an estimated sublease and considered industry and economic factors such as rental rates, interest rates, and recent real estate activities to estimate the net cash flows analysis and impairment amount. These assessments indicated the ROU asset for certain facilities were fully impaired, which resulted in the Company recording an impairment charge of $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company didnot record any lease related impairments. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.3 million impairment charge related to unused ROU assets and leasehold improvements.

The components of the lease costs and supplemental cash flow information relating to the Company's leases were as follows (in thousands):

Note 18. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM"), in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer.

As a result of the acquisition of Akoya, the Company reassessed its operating segments and concluded that the Company continues to operate asone reportable segment as of December 31, 2025. This operating segment is focused on development and commercialization of comprehensive protein biomarker solutions that identify signatures in blood and tissue to provide insights to providers, patients, and research organizations.

The Company utilizes consolidated net loss as the measure of segment profitability (loss) as required by ASU 2023-07. The CODM uses this measure, along with the significant revenue and expense lines included in the table below, when analyzing the Company’s operations and performance and determining how to allocate resources. These measures are consistently used by the CODM in comparing budgeted results versus actuals, in determining when or where to invest resources into the business, and for decisions on strategic initiatives, all of which is assessed at the consolidated level.

The following table presents the reconciliation of significant segment information reviewed by the CODM to consolidated net loss:

(1)Expenses consist of research and development and selling, general and administrative from the Consolidated Statements of Operations and exclude shipping and handling costs.

(2)Other segment items represent discrete events, non-recurring transactions, or insignificant items that are not used by the CODM to evaluate the Company’s performance or allocate resources, and include:

a. Impairment and restructuring costs – impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived assets, and costs associated with approved restructuring plans, including costs to implement restructurings and employee separation costs;

b. Change in fair value of contingent liabilities – changes in the fair value of contingent payments as a result of updated valuation inputs;

c. Other lease costs – amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets and other facility operating expenses from leased facilities not in use;

d. Interest income – interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and the accretion of discounts on marketable securities;

e. Other income (expense), net – gains and losses on foreign currency, and other non-recurring items that are not a part of the Company’s core business operations; and

f. Income tax benefit (expense) – income taxes related to federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.

The CODM also reviews consolidated balance sheet accounts and activity including cash usage and other working capital changes using the balances as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

There have been no changes to the methods used to determine segment profit or loss, or the significant segment captions, across any of the periods presented.

Note 19. Restructuring

In May and July 2025, the Company announced actions to reduce operating costs, preserve cash, and, specific to the July action, realize anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Akoya acquisition.
