Current report

On March 4, 2026, we acquired UK Biocentre Limited, or UK Biocentre, for a purchase price of approximately $27.5 million, net of cash acquired, including contingent consideration which the Company estimated the fair value to be $2.5 million as of the measurement date. UK Biocentre is a provider of sample management, sample storage and high-throughput sample processing services in the United Kingdom. UK Biocentre’s results of operations are reported in the Sample Management Solutions, or SMS, segment from the date of acquisition.

Current report

The acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver end-to-end lifecycle solutions in the United Kingdom, a life science research epicenter, while expanding our presence in Europe by establishing UK Biocentre as a European-wide operational hub to support pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, and public health customers across the region. This major hub will support our already established biorepository in Griesheim, Germany with current and new customers benefiting from expanded sample storage automated capabilities, reliable and fully integrated sample management and processing services, and a broader European footprint to support the region.

Current report

Our SMS segment revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 increased approximately 2% and 1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year periods, mainly driven by higher revenue in Sample Storage,

Current report

(1)Transformation costs represent non-recurring expenses for strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to us focused on cost reduction and productivity improvement that do not meet the definition of restructuring charges. These costs are directed at simplifying, standardizing, streamlining, and optimizing our operations, processes and systems to permanently alter our operations for the long term. For a project to be considered transformational, successful completion of the project must be expected to bring long-term material benefits to the organization and involve significant changes to process and/or underlying technology. Transformation costs primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

Current report

The SMS segment gross margin increased 44 basis points and decreased 194 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted gross margin increased 35 basis points and decreased 169 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increases in gross margin and adjusted gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were driven by improved operational efficiencies, favorable product sales mix, higher-margin revenue streams, and favorable impact from a correction for prior period cost of goods sold, partially offset by higher rework costs andan increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The decreases in gross margin and adjusted gross margin for the six months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily driven by higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves.

Current report

Based on the results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2026, the carrying amounts ofour Multiomics and SMS reporting units exceeded their respective fair values, resulting in non-cash impairment charges of $112.4 million for Multiomics and $36.6 million for SMS. The total goodwill impairment charge of $149.1 million was recorded within “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We made significant estimates and assumptions in ourquantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2026. Actual results may vary significantly and may expose us to material impairment charges in the future. Please refer to Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled “Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Current report

In the event the performance of any of our reporting units does not meet management expectations in the future, we experience a prolonged macroeconomic or market downturn, or there are other negative revisions to key assumptions used in the analysis used to estimate fair value, we may be required to perform additional impairment analyses which could result in one or more additional impairment charges, any one of which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Current report

We recorded income tax benefit of $0.3 million andincome tax expense of $2.8 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, which were primarily driven by the profit mix in foreign jurisdictions, valuation allowance implications in the United States and state income taxes in jurisdictions where we do not have a net operating loss carry over.
Removed paragraphs (2)

Previous report

The Sample Management Solutions segment gross margin decreased 429 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted gross margin decreased 371 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decreases in gross margin and adjusted gross margin were primarily driven by higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and the negative impact of a non-recurring item.

Previous wording

Revenue increased 1% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, mainly driven by revenue growth in our Multiomics segment. The revenue growth in our Multiomics segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year was primarily driven by growth in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis, partially offset by a decline in Sanger Sequencing. Gross margin was 43% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 47% for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to lost cost leverage from lower North America sales volume for Sanger Sequencing and higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and the negative impact of a non-recurring item. Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased $6.6 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher research and development expenses. We generated a net loss from continuing operations of $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $7.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by lower operating expenses and income tax expense. We generated a net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $10.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to a net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the loss on assets held for sale recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Current wording

Revenue increased 1% for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, mainly driven by revenue growth in both operating segments. The revenue growth in our SMS segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year was primarily driven by higher revenue in Sample Storage, Product Services and Consumables and Instruments, partially offset by lower revenues in Core Products, particularly in Automated Stores and Cryogenic Systems. The revenue growth in our Multiomics segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year was primarily driven by Next Generation Sequencing services and Gene Synthesis services, partially offset by a decline in Sanger Sequencing services. Gross margin was 43% for each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 44% and 45%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The decreases were primarily due to lost fixed-cost leverage from lower North America sales volume for Sanger Sequencing services and higher rework cost incurred on Automated Stores projects and an increase in excess and obsolete inventory reserves, partially offset by improved operational efficiencies and favorable impact from a correction for prior period cost of goods sold. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 increased $146.8 million and $140.3 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven bya non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $149.1 million related to the Multiomics and SMS segments, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Wegenerated a net loss from continuing operations of$157.0 million and $162.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 compared toa net loss from continuing operations of$19.8 million and $26.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and consider various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate current and anticipated worldwide economic conditions, both in general and specifically in relation to the life sciences industry, that serve as a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily determinable based on information from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management adjusts the GAAP results for the impact of amortization and impairment of intangible assets, transformation costs, restructuring charges, governance-related matters, merger and acquisition costs and costs related to share repurchase, and other unallocated corporate expenses to provide investors better perspective on the results of operations which we believe is more comparable to the similar analysis provided by our peers. Management also excludes special charges and gains, such as gains and losses from the sale of assets, certain tax benefits and charges, as well as other gains and charges that are not representative of the normal operations of the business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its review and evaluation of the performance of the business. Management strongly encourages investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measures is included under “Operating Income (Loss)” and “Gross Margin” below.
