<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m thrilled with the strong start to FY19,&rdquo; said Chuck Kummeth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Techne. &ldquo;Results were especially strong in our Protein Sciences segment with exceptional commercial execution in both our reagent and analytical solutions business units.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

We now have over 275 people in Bio-Techne Europe, including offices in four of Europe&rsquo;s largest countries. The continued synergies coming from the country teams working together is a model for the entire company.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Kummeth concluded, &ldquo;These past few months, much attention has been on our ExosomeDx acquisition, which we are very busy integrating and enabling for accelerated growth in the future. To date, we have been very happy with the team and the promise of this exciting new technology platform.&nbsp; With core product innovation and strategic acquisitions, the product and technology diversity we have created at Bio-Techne should drive growth for years to come.&rdquo;</p>

GAAP operating margin was 15.8%, compared to 18.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include:</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&#9679; Adjusted diluted earnings per share</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&#9679; Adjusted net earnings</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&#9679; Adjusted gross margin</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&#9679; Adjusted operating income</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: left; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&#9679; Adjusted operating margin</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, exclude the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and acquisition related expenses. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory and acquisition-related expenses, from this measure because they occur as a result of specific events, and are not reflective of our internal investments, the costs of developing, producing, supporting and selling our products, and the other ongoing costs to support our operating structure. Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity.</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Company&rsquo;s non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes stock-based compensation expense, restructuring, impairments of equity method investments, gain and losses from investments, and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Stock-based compensation is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. Impairments of equity investments are excluded as we do not have significant influence over these investments and they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions. Additionally, gains and losses from other investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Costs related to restructuring activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate to be applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments considering the impact of discrete items on these adjustments and the jurisdictional mix of the adjustments. In addition, the tax impact of other discrete and non-recurring charges which impact our reported GAAP tax rate are adjusted from net earnings. We believe these tax items can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results.</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements attached to this press release.</p>
