Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting, Presentation, and Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements and related notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of assets and liabilities, at the date of each financial statement, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, valuation of share-based payment awards, and income taxes. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Teknova does not have any material items of other comprehensive income (loss); accordingly, there is no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss and we have not presented a separate Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) that would otherwise be required.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Teknova’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, currently Stephen Gunstream. Teknova derives revenue primarily in the United States (U.S.) through manufacture and sale of critical reagents. Teknova has determined that it operates in one reporting unit, one operating segment, and one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources and make operating decisions based on net loss that is reported on the statement of operations. Net loss is also used to monitor budget versus actual results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. Revenues, expenses, and assets requiring disclosure in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, are also included in the accompanying financial statements. See the statements of operations for the two years ended December 31, 2025 and the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, for details.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Teknova’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality banking institutions. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. Teknova’s cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds and U.S. Treasuries. Teknova extends credit to customers based on its evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and routinely communicates with its customers regarding payments. The Company has a history of limited write-offs, and therefore believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is low. For information regarding the Company’s significant customers and suppliers, see Note 4. Concentrations of Risk.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Teknova’s cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash held in banks, and highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Teknova maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts in financial institutions that are insured by the FDIC up to a balance of $250.0 thousand. Cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

Short-term Held-to-Maturity Investments

Teknova invests excess cash balances in short-term U.S. Treasuries. Investments are classified based on the facts and circumstances present at the time of purchase. The appropriateness of that classification is subsequently reassessed at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had both the ability and intention to hold these investments until maturity and therefore has classified these investments as held-to-maturity and recorded them at amortized cost which approximates fair value and presented them in “Short-term investments, held -to-maturity” on the balance sheet. The fair value of the Company’s short-term investments was based on quoted prices in active markets for these investments (Level 1). The income recognized for these investments is recorded within interest income on the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain of Teknova’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at invoice value, less estimated allowances for credit losses. Teknova uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable, calculated by management using the historical average of uncollectible accounts. The Company continually monitors its customer payments and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from its customers’ inability to make required payments. Accounts receivable are considered past due once customer payment terms have been exceeded. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

The change in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:

Inventories

Inventory, consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. Teknova writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or inventory in excess of reasonably expected near-term sales or unmarketable inventory, in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by Teknova, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory impairment charges establish a new cost basis for inventory, and charges are not reversed subsequently to income, even if circumstances later suggest that increased carrying amounts are recoverable.

The change in the inventory reserve was as follows:

Capitalized Software Implementation Costs

Teknova capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred under a cloud computing hosting arrangement. Costs incurred during the application development stage related to the implementation of the hosting arrangement are capitalized and included within other assets on the accompanying balance sheets. Amortization of capitalized implementation costs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the associated hosting arrangement when it is ready for its intended use. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Teknova had capitalized software implementation costs of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which were included within other non-current assets in the accompanying financial statements. Amortization expense related to capitalized implementation costs for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.5 million, which were included within operating expensesin the accompanying financial statements.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Teknova records property, plant, and equipment at fair value when it is acquired in a business combination or at cost for all other purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Property, plant, and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method. Any leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the estimated remaining life of the lease. Costs for repairs and maintenance that do not significantly increase the value or estimated lives of property, plant, and equipment are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheets, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations.

The estimated useful lives of the major classes of property and equipment are as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Teknova evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover carrying amounts. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated during the life of those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. If an asset is impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. There were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Intangible Assets

Teknova’s intangible assets consist of the Teknova trade name and the Company’s customer relationships.

Indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset is impaired. If the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge would be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, which is the period during which expected cash flows support the fair value of such intangible assets. Teknova reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets or an asset group may not be recoverable. When such an event occurs, management determines whether there has been impairment by comparing the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to the related assets’ or asset group’s carrying value.

There wasno impairment of intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at a lease’s inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or fewer are not recorded on the balance sheet. All other operating leases are recorded on the balance sheet with a corresponding operating lease asset, net, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the operating lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when such options are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the lease term, based on the information available at the lease commencement or modification date as required. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for as a single lease component. Variable lease expense consists of the Company’s proportionate share of common area expenses, property taxes, and insurance and is classified as lease expense due to the Company’s election to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs represent legal, consulting, and other financial costs associated with debt financing and are presented on the balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt instrument. Debt issuance costs on the term debt are amortized to interest expense over the term of the applicable debt agreement using the effective interest rate method.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging(ASC 815). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. Teknova recognizes revenue for sales of goods through the following steps:

▪

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer, typically a purchase order

▪

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

▪

Determination of the transaction price

▪

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

▪

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the company satisfies a performance obligation

Teknova recognizes revenue from the sale of manufactured products and services when the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Control is transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain benefits from the goods or services. The majority of the Company’s sales agreements contain performance obligations satisfied at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

Teknova’s sales are made directly to customers or through distributors, generally under agreements with payment terms typically shorter than 90 days and in no case exceeding one year. Therefore, Teknova’s contracts do not contain a significant financing component. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue are excluded from sales. The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling in a sales transaction as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are included in general and administrative expenses as revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Occasionally, Teknova offers rebates, discounts, and returns on its products, however returns and refunds occur rarely. The Company records rebates, discounts, and returns at the time they occur. The difference between recording these as they occur and estimating the amount of consideration in exchange for the transfer of promised goods would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers are expensed immediately, because the amortization period for such costs is one year or less.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes salaries, wages and benefits, raw materials consumption (including direct and indirect material), depreciation, utilities, rent, manufacturing supplies, and other production overhead.

Research and Development Expenses

The Company’s research and development expenses primarily consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for personnel in process engineering and manufacturing science functions, expenses related to occupancy costs, laboratory supplies, consulting fees, and depreciation associated with various assets used in the research and development of the Company’s products and processes.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

The Company’s sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for sales and marketing employees, expenses related to occupancy costs, brand strategy, website, content, and collateral. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Advertising expenses were not significant in the year ended December 31, 2025 and $0.1 million in the year ended December 31,2024.

General and Administrative Expenses

The Company’s general and administrative expenses primarily consist of costs associated with executive and administrative staff, and other expenses such as shipping charges, professional service fees, occupancy costs, IT systems, insurance, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense for executive and administrative staff.

Reduction in Workforce

On January 11, 2024, the Company carried out a reduction in workforce of approximately 35 positions, aimed at reducing operating expenses. The Company incurred $1.3 million of costs in connection with the reduction in workforce related to severance pay and other termination benefits. The costs associated with the reduction in workforce were recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, in general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

Teknova measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units, and stock purchase rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) to employees, based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option granted and employee stock purchase rights are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the Company to make a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, the expected risk-free interest rate, the expected term, and the expected dividend. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the award, which generally represents the scheduled vesting period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Employee Benefit Plans

Teknova has a salary deferral 401(k) plan (the 401(k) Plan) covering substantially all employees. Contributions by the Company to the 401(k) Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Contributions payable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, werenot significant and are included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes, using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence is considered, both positive and negative, including, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized if Teknova believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return and recognizes associated interest and penalties, if any, in income tax expense.

Loss Contingencies

From time to time, Teknova may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company regularly evaluates its exposure to threatened or pending litigation and other business contingencies. Because of the uncertainties related to the amount of loss from litigation and other business contingencies, the recording of losses relating to such exposures requires significant judgment about the potential range of outcomes. The Company establishes loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company will disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As additional information about current or future litigation or other contingencies becomes available, the Company will assess whether adjustments should be made to legal accruals.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the more dilutive of (i) the treasury stock method or if-converted method, or (ii) the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The treasury stock method uses the number of new shares that may be created by unexercised in-the-money options, where the exercise price is less than the current share price. The if-converted method calculates the value of convertible securities as if they were converted into new shares. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. The diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disclosure in the rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciliation items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. Refer to Note 13. Income Taxes for the additional disclosures required by the adoption of this standard.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregation of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements and a qualitative description of the remaining expense amounts not separately disaggregated. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, amending Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, to provide an optional practical expedient when applying the guidance related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets resulting from transactions arising from contracts with customers. Under this practical expedient, entities may elect to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, that clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software in ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The guidance removes all references to project stages in ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Additionally, the guidance specifies disclosure requirements for capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 10. Long-Term Debt, Net

On March 3, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Term Loan) as borrower, with MidCap Financial Trust (MidCap), as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto (the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement) and the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (Revolving Loan) as borrower, with MidCap as agent and lender, and the additional lenders from time to time party thereto (the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, together with the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the previous Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as described and defined in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $28.245 million credit facility consisting of a $23.245 million senior secured term loan (Term Loan) and a $5.0 million working capital facility (Revolver). The Term Loan consists of the $12.135 million balance outstanding under the previous term loan, plus an additional $1.110 million related to the exit fee that would otherwise have been due upon closing of the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, as well as an additional tranche of $10.0 million that may become available for use in an acquisition, with MidCap’s consent. The maximum loan amount under the Revolver is $5.0 million, with borrowings limited in accordance with a borrowing base calculation, based solely on eligible accounts receivable.

The interest on the Term Loan is based on the forward-looking one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate adjusted upward by 0.10% (Term SOFR), plus an applicable margin of 6.45%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 3.75%. If any advance under the Term Loan is prepaid at any time, a prepayment fee is charged based on the amount being prepaid and an applicable percentage amount, such as 4%, 3%, or 1%, based on the date the prepayment is made. Interest on an outstanding balance under the Revolver is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 4.00%, subject to a Term SOFR floor of 3.75%.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes minimum net revenue requirements that are measured on a trailing twelve-month basis and a minimum cash requirement throughout the term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. For example, the Company’s minimum net revenue requirement for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025, is $39.0 million. The minimum cash requirement is $8.0 million, which includes cash and cash equivalents as well as short-term investments in U.S. Treasuries, under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with financial covenants under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025.

The maturity date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is March 1, 2030, with principal repayments beginning on April 1, 2028. On the date of termination of the Term Loan or the date on which the obligations under the Term Loan become due and payable in full, the Company will pay an exit fee in an amount equal to 5.0% of the total aggregate principal amount of term loans made pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement as of such date. All loans issued under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are collateralized by the Company’s assets.

Long-term debt, net consisted of the following (in thousands):

At December 31, 2025, the scheduled maturities of the Company’s debt obligations were as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

On March 8, 2024, the Company issued to MidCap Funding XXVII a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 125,000 shares (the Common Warrant) of common stock with an exercise price of $2.9934 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein.

The Company determined that the Common Warrant is not a liability within the scope of ASC 480, but met the requirements to be classified within stockholders’ equity, because the warrant is indexed to the Company’s common stock and met all of the conditions for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Common Warrant was recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital in the statements of stockholders’ equity at the time of issuance. The Common Warrant was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) fair value of common stock of $2.8500, (ii) exercise price of $2.9934, (iii) term of 5 years, (iv) dividend rate of 0%, (v) volatility of 36.70%, and (vi) risk free interest rate of 4.06%.

On October 15, 2024, MidCap exercised the Common Warrant in full and the Company issued 65,036 shares of common stock through a cashless exercise in accordance with the conversion terms.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

Teknova maintains stock incentive plans for the benefit of certain of Teknova's officers, directors, consultants and employees. The Company granted time-based and performance-based options to purchase common shares under both its 2016 Stock Plan, as amended (2016 Plan) and 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (2020 Plan). At the time the 2020 Plan became effective, no additional stock awards were granted or are able to be granted in the future under the 2016 Plan. In June 2021, the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (2021 Plan), which became effective in connection with the IPO. From and after the date on which the 2021 Plan became effective, no further grants were made or will be made under the 2020 Plan. At December 31, 2025,5,638,986 shares of the Company's common stock remain available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.

The types of equity-based awards that may be granted under the 2021 Plan include: incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. The equity-based awards for employees will vest over afour-year period, pursuant to two different vesting schedules. For initial equity-based awards granted to employees, the first vest is generally a one-year cliff vest, followed by monthly vesting for the final three years. Thereafter, annual equity-based awards granted to employees typically vest monthly over the four-year vest term, except for restricted stock units which vest annually over a four-year period. The initial equity-based awards granted tothe Company’s non-employee, independent directors upon appointment to the board of directors will vest over a three-year period, with the first vest being a one-year cliff, followed by monthly vesting over the remaining two years. Thereafter, annual equity-based awards granted to the Company’s non-employee, independent directors will cliff vest after one year from the date of grant.

Generally, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period often years, beginning on January 1, 2022, and continuing through January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year; provided, however, that the Company’s board of directors may act prior to January 1 of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock. No new shares became available for issuance under the 2021 Plan as of January 1, 2026.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The aggregate grant-date fair value of options vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was$4.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The aggregate grant-date fair value of restricted stock units vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was$0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In June 2021, the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s stockholders, respectively, approved the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP), which became effective in connection with the IPO. At December 31, 2025,1,181,861 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period often years, beginning on January 1, 2022, and continuing through January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (i)1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding year; and (ii)319,911 shares (subject to adjustments for stock splits, dividends, combinations of shares, exchanges of shares, and other “Capitalization Adjustments,” as defined in the ESPP), except before the date of any such increase, the Company’s board of directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in clauses (i) and (ii). No new shares became available for issuance under the ESPP as of January 1, 2026.

Generally, all regular employees, including executive officers, employed by the Company will be eligible to participate in the ESPP and to contribute, normally through payroll deductions, up to 15% of their earnings (as defined in the ESPP) for the purchase of the Company’s common stock under the ESPP. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s board of directors, shares of the Company’s common stock will be purchased for the accounts of employees participating in the Company’s ESPP at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i)85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of an offering; or (ii)85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of purchase. Offering periods are generally six months long. Beginning on May 15, 2023, offering periods begin on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

Valuation of Employee Share-Based Awards

Teknova uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The valuation model for stock compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term, expected volatility and fair value of the Company’s common stock, and an assumed risk-free interest rate. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:

Volatility. Since the Company has limited historical data on volatility of its stock, expected volatility is based on the volatility of the stock of similar publicly traded entities. In evaluating similarity, the Company considers factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage.

Fair value of underlying common stock. The fair value of the Company’s common stock is determined by the closing price of its common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Marketon the date of grant.

Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free rate that the Company uses is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options.

Expected term. As the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise activity to estimate expected life, the expected life of options granted is determined using the simplified method. The simplified method is based on the vesting period and the contractual term for each grant or for each vesting tranche for awards with graded vesting. The midpoint of the vesting date and the maximum contractual expiration date are used to determine the expected term under this method.

Dividend yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero. In addition, the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement prohibit us from paying dividends, other than dividends payable in the Company’s common stock, without the prior consent of the lender.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:

Repricing of Outstanding and Unexercised Options

In January 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a one-time repricing of certain previously granted and still outstanding vested and unvested stock option awards held by eligible employees, executive officers, and non-employee directors. As a result, the exercise price for these awards was lowered to $2.97 per share effective September 14, 2025, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Stock Market on March 14, 2024, so long as the holder remained employed by the Company or continued to serve as a member of the board of directors through September 14, 2025, absent earlier trigger events defined in the option repricing plan. No other terms of the stock options were modified, and the stock options continue to vest according to their original vesting schedules and retain their original expiration dates. As a result of the repricing,1,557,301 vested and unvested stock options outstanding as of September 14, 2025, with original exercise prices ranging from $3.02 to $27.49, were repriced.

The repricing on March 14, 2024, resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, of which $0.5 million related to vested stock option awards and was expensed on the repricing date. The remaining $0.4 million related to unvested stock option awards and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average vesting period of those awards of approximately 2.38 years as of March 14, 2024.

Summary of Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense included in the accompanying financial statements was as follows (in thousands):

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $3.2 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $4.6 million at December 31, 2025, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 2.50 years.

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.1 million at December 31, 2025, which is expected to be recognized as expense over the weighted-average period of 1.16 years.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the outstanding performance-based option to acquire 231,719 shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted under 2020 Plan, to eliminate the performance-based vesting and provide that such option will vest in 48 equal monthly installments. The stock option modification was measured as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before the modification. The incremental stock-based compensation expense for such stock option modification is approximately $3.5 million, of which $0.4 million and $0.9 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, ingeneral and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, in January 2019, the Company granted 284,682 performance-based options that vest upon a change of control. As of December 31, 2025, these options were not considered probable of vesting. The Company had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million at December 31, 2025, relating to these options.

Total stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was not significant for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Total compensation cost related to the ESPP not yet recognized is also not significant. As of December 31, 2025, an insignificant amount has been withheld on behalf of employees for a future purchase under the ESPP. The Company issued 25,169 and 88,926 shares of common stock under the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 13. Income Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted new tax legislation, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, (OBBBA). The OBBBA includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions. The adoption of this legislation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements nor is it expected to have a material impact on future periods.

The components of loss before provision for (benefit from) income taxes are as follows (in thousands):

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes consist of the following (in thousands):

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

(1)State taxes in California and New Jersey made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category for the period ended December 31, 2024. State taxes in California and Massachusetts made up the majority of the tax effect in this category for the period ended December 31, 2025.

Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction are as follows (in thousands):

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The Company’s component of net deferred tax liability and assets consist of the following (in thousands):

As of the end of December 31, 2025, Teknova has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of $90.3 million and $81.2 million, respectively. The federal NOLs will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to an 80% taxable income limitation. The state NOLs begin to expire in 2036. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $0.6 million, which will begin to expire in 2035 and a state research and development tax credit carryforward of $0.2 million and carry forward indefinitely. NOLs and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state tax provisions. This could limit the amount of NOLs and tax credits that the Company can utilize annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a net increase in valuation allo wances of $4.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively, comprised primarily of an increase of valuation allowance on certain NOLs being carried forward which are not expected to be realizable. Valuation allowances are determined based on management’s assessment of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

The change in the income tax valuation allowance was as follows:

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In connection with FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect to recognize any unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. Consequently, the Company hadnot accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of the end of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

The change in unrecognized tax benefits were as follows:

Teknova files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2022. The Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2021. All net operating losses and tax credits generated to date are subject to adjustment for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2023 tax year. The Company is not currently under examination by any other taxing authorities.

Note 14. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents to the extent they are dilutive. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase rights are considered to be common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The following is a summary of the common stock equivalents for the securities outstanding during the respective periods that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Note 15. Contingencies

In August 2023, a former Teknova employee filed a claim with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency alleging various causes of action under California’s labor, wage, and hour laws. The plaintiff generally alleged that Teknova did not appropriately calculate and pay meal break premiums and otherwise failed to calculate and pay appropriate overtime wages or bonuses to certain of its California non-exempt employees. On June 6, 2024, a mediation took place, in the course of which Teknova agreed to settle the plaintiff’s claims for $0.4 million (the Settlement). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had therefore accrued its best estimate of potential loss related to a possible settlement of the claims of the former employee and other members of the purported class (similarly situated former or current employees), in the amount of $0.4 million, which was included within “Accrued liabilities” on the balance sheet. In April 2025, the Settlement received final court approval and the Company paid the Settlement amount.
