NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Bio-Techne Corporation and Subsidiaries

(unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Bio-Techne Corporation and subsidiaries, (the Company) presented here have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2019. The Company's condensed consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2019 was derived from the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal year 2019. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2019 for the notes to the June 30, 2019 Balance Sheet and a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company. The Company follows these policies in preparation of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

During fiscal year 2020, the Company operated under two operating segments, Protein Sciences and Diagnostics and Genomics. The operating segments the company operated under were consistent with the Company's reportable segments disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the existing guidance to require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities from operating leases on the balance sheet. The FASB has issued narrow codification improvements to Leases (Topic 842) through ASU No. 2018-10 and ASU 2019-01. Additionally, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, allowing an entity to elect a transition method where they do not recast prior periods presented in the financial statements in the period of adoption. The Company has elected the transition method allowed for under ASU 2018-11 when adopting Leases (Topic 842). The Company adopted the standard effective July 1, 2019 and correspondingly recorded incremental operating lease liabilities of $80.6 million, a right-of-use lease asset of $79.5 million, retained earnings of $0.8 million and a deferred tax adjustment of $0.3 million. Additionally, the Company reclassified $4.0 million of deferred rent recorded within accrued expenses under ASC 840 - Leases into operating lease liabilities upon adoption of Topic 842. In adopting ASC 842, the Company elected the package of available practical expedients and to use hindsight in determining the lease term for all existing leases. Further, as part of our adoption of ASC 842, the Company also made the accounting policy elections to not capitalize short term leases (defined as a lease with a lease term that is less than 12 months) and to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes in determining the lease payments. Refer to Note 7 for additional information on leases.

Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendment in this update replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade and loan receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods for those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, which for us is July 1, 2020. Entities may early adopt beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the new standard. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods for those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, which for us is July 1, 2020 and may be adopted retrospectively or prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after the date the guidance is first applied. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-15 on our consolidated financial statements and anticipate that we will adopt the standard prospectively.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting that is optional to facilitate the market transition from a reference rate, including LIBOR which is being phased out in 2021, to a new reference rate. The standard was effective upon issuance. The provisions of the ASU would impact contract modifications and other changes that occur while LIBOR is phased out. The Company is in the process of evaluating the optional relief guidance provided within this ASU and is also reviewing its debt and derivative instrument that utilizes LIBOR as the reference rate. The Company will continue to evaluate and monitor developments and our assessment of ASU 2020-04 during the LIBOR transition period.

Note 2. Revenue Recognition:

Consumables revenues consist of single-use products and are recognized at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Instruments revenues typically consist of longer-lived assets that, for the substantial majority of sales, are recognized at a point in time in a manner similar to consumables. The vast majority of service revenues consist of extended warranty contracts, post contract support (“PCS”), and custom development projects that are recognized over time as either the customers receive and consume the benefits of such services simultaneously or the underlying asset being developed has no alternative use for the Company at contract inception and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the portion of the performance completed. The remaining service revenues were not material to the period and consist of laboratory services recognized at point in time. Given the Company does not have significant historical experience collecting payments from Medicare or insurance providers, the Company considered the variable consideration for such services to be constrained as it would not be probable that a significant amount of revenue would not need to be reversed in future periods for the services provided. Accordingly, the Company did not record revenue upon completion of the performance obligation, but rather upon cash receipt, which was subsequent to the performance obligation being satisfied. Royalty revenues are primarily based on net sales of the Company’s licensed products by a third party. We recognize royalty revenues in the period the sales occur using third party evidence. The Company elected the "right to invoice" practical expedient based on the Company's right to invoice a customer at an amount that approximates the value to the customer and the performance completed to date.

The Company elected the exemption to not disclose the unfulfilled performance obligations for contracts with an original length of one year or less and the exemption to exclude future performance obligations that are accounted under the sales-based or usage-based royalty guidance. The Company’s unfulfilled performance obligations were not material as of March 31, 2020.

Contracts with customers that contain instruments may include multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the contracts’ inception.

Payment terms for shipments to end-users are generally net 30 days. Payment terms for distributor shipments may range from 30 to 90 days. Service arrangements commonly call for payments in advance of performing the work (e.g. extended warranty and service contracts), upon completion of the service (e.g. custom development manufacturing) or a mix of both.

Contract assets include revenues recognized in advance of billings. Contract assets are included within other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet as the amount of time expected to lapse until the company's right to consideration becomes unconditional is less than one year. We elected the practical expedient allowing us to expense contract costs that would otherwise be capitalized and amortized over a period of less than one year. Contract assets as of March 31, 2020 are not material.

Contract liabilities include billings in excess of revenues recognized, such as those resulting from customer advances and deposits and unearned revenue on warranty contracts. Contract liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were approximately $14.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2019 subsequently recognized as revenue during the quarter period and nine month period ended March 31, 2020 were approximately $1.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Contract liabilities in excess of one year are included in Other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.

Any claims for credit or return of goods must be made within 10 days of receipt. Revenues are reduced to reflect estimated credits and returns. Although the amounts recorded for these revenue deductions are dependent on estimates and assumptions, historically our adjustments to actual results have not been material.

Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in revenue, while the related shipping and handling costs are reflected in cost of products. We elected the practical expedient that allows us to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost, and we accrue costs of shipping and handling when the related revenue is recognized.

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would indicate a possible impairment. The Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment for all of its reporting units during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. No indicators of impairment were identified as part of our assessment.

No triggering events were identified during the nine months ended March 31, 2020. There has been no impairment of goodwill since the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 350 guidance for goodwill and other intangibles on July 1, 2002.

Note 4. Acquisitions:

We periodically complete business combinations that align with our business strategy. Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and the results of operations of each acquired business are included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income from their respective dates of acquisition. Acquisition costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred.

B-MoGen Biotechnologies

On June 4, 2019, the Company acquired the remaining interest in B-MoGen Biotechnologies, Inc. (B-MoGen) for approximately $17.4 million, net of cash acquired, plus contingent consideration of up to $38.0 million, subject to certain product development milestones and revenue thresholds. The Company previously held an investment of $1.4 million in B-MoGen and recognized a gain of approximately $3.7 million on the date of the transaction representing the adjustment of our historical investment to its fair value as previously disclosed in our 10K/A. The goodwill recorded as result of the acquisition represents the strategic benefits of growing the Company’s product portfolio and the expected revenue growth from increased market penetration. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The business became part of the Protein Sciences reportable segment in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019. Purchase accounting was finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The preliminary and final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows (in thousands):

|  | Preliminary Allocation at Acquisition Date |  |  | Adjustments to Fair Value |  |  | Adjusted Final Allocation at March 31, 2020 |

Net assets acquired |  | $ | 28,042 |  | $ | - |  | $ | 28,042 |

Tangible assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at fair value on the date of close based on management's assessment. The purchase price allocated to developed technology was estimated based on management's forecasted cash inflows and outflows and using a multi-period excess earnings method to calculate the fair value of assets purchased. The amount recorded for developed technology is being amortized with the expense reflected in cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The amortization period for developed technology is estimated to be 14 years. The net deferred income tax liability represents the net amount of the estimated future impact of adjustments for costs to be recognized as intangible asset amortization, which is not deductible for income tax purposes offset by the deferred tax asset for the calculation of acquired NOLs.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements:

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, available for sale investments, derivative instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration obligations, and long-term debt.

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. This standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. This standard maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available in the circumstances.

The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 may also include certain investment securities for which there is limited market activity or a decrease in the observability of market pricing for the investments, such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The following tables provide information by level for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

| (1) | Included in available-for-sale investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The cost basis in the Company's investment in ChemoCentryx Inc (CCXI) was $7.6 million and $18.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The Company has a warrant to purchase additional CCXI equity shares which was valued at $5.6 million as of March 31, 2020. The fair value of the warrant as of June 30, 2019 was not material.
| (2) | Included in available-for-sale investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The certificates of deposit have contractual maturity dates within one year.

Fair value measurements of available for sale securities

Available for sale securities excluding warrants are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets. The Company's warrant to purchase additional shares at a specified future price was valued using a Black-Scholes model with observable inputs in active markets and therefore was classified as a Level 2 asset.

Fair value measurements of derivative instruments

In October 2018, the Company entered into forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges on outstanding debt. The forward starting swaps reduce the variability of cash flow payments for the Company by converting the variable interest rate on the Company’s long-term debt described in Note 6 to that of a fixed interest rate. Accordingly, as part of the forward starting swaps, the Company will exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between floating and fixed interest amounts based on $380 million of notional principal amount. The change in the fair value of the instrument is reported as a component of the other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense over the corresponding term of the cash flow hedge. As further described in Note 8, the company reclassified $1.3 million and $2.1 million out of other comprehensive income into interest expense during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. The liability related to the derivative instrument was recorded within Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The instrument was valued using observable market inputs in active markets and therefore classified as a Level 2 liability.

Fair value measurements of contingent consideration

In connection with the Exosome Diagnostics, Inc. (Exosome), QT Holdings Corporation (Quad), and B-MoGen acquisitions the Company is required to make contingent consideration payments of up to $325.0 million, $51.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively. The contingent consideration payments are subject to Exosome achieving certain EBITA thresholds, Quad meeting certain product development milestones and revenue thresholds, and B-MoGen meeting certain product development milestones and revenue thresholds. The preliminary fair value of the liabilities for the contingent payments recognized upon the acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheet totaled $14.6 million ($3.8 million for Exosome, $5.3 million for Quad, and $5.5 million for B-MoGen). The preliminary fair value of the development milestone payments was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in these calculations were probability of success, duration of the earn-out, and discount rate. The preliminary fair value for the EBITA and revenue milestone payments was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model discounted to present value. Assumptions used in these calculation included units sold, expected revenue, expected expenses, discount rate and various probability factors. The ultimate settlement of contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on the actual results of these financial measures. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for these acquisitions is included in general and administrative expense.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 (in thousands):

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | March 31, 2020 |  |  | March 31, 2020 |
Fair value at the beginning of period |  | $ | 12,555 |  |  | $ | 12,600 |
Change in fair value of contingent consideration |  |  | (705 | ) |  |  | (605 | )
Payments |  |  | (4,000 | ) |  |  | (4,145 | )
Fair value at the end of period |  | $ | 7,850 |  |  | $ | 7,850 |

The use of different assumptions, applying different judgment to matters that inherently are subjective and changes in future market conditions could result in different estimates of fair value of our securities or contingent consideration, currently and in the future. If market conditions deteriorate, we may incur impairment charges for securities in our investment portfolio. We may also incur changes to our contingent consideration liability as discussed below.

Fair value measurements of other financial instruments – The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, and accounts payable – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

Long-term debt – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for the amount drawn on our line-of-credit facility approximates fair value because our interest rate is variable and reflects current market rates.

Note 6. Debt and Other Financing Arrangements:

On August 1, 2018, the Company entered into a new revolving line-of-credit and term loan governed by a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $600.0 million, which can be increased by an additional $200.0 million subject to certain conditions, and a term loan of $250.0 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and expenditures of the Company and its subsidiaries, including financing permitted acquisitions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate. The current outstanding debt is based on the Eurodollar Loans term for which the interest rate is calculated as the sum of LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is determined from the total leverage ratio of the Company and updated on a quarterly basis. The annualized fee for any unused portion of the credit facility is currently 20 basis points.

The Credit Agreement matures on August 1, 2023 and contains customary restrictive and financial covenants and customary events of default. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $420.1 million.

Note 7. Leases:

As a lessee, the company leases offices, labs, and manufacturing facilities, as well as vehicles, copiers, and other equipment. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and related standards (collectively ASC 842, Leases), which replaced previous lease accounting guidance, on July 1, 2019.

The Company recognizes operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate present value is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate or, if available, the rate implicit in the lease. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease based primarily on its lease term and the economic environment of the applicable country or region. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $2.7 million in variable lease expense, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company also recognized $3.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively relating to fixed lease expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Note 12. Income Taxes:

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019 was 22.2% and 10.5% of consolidated earnings before income taxes, and 20.7% and 10.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in the company’s tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2019 were driven by changes in the composition and amount of the Company’s taxable income in fiscal 2020 resulting from the gain on our CCXI investment and discrete tax items.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that we believe is useful in understanding our operating results, cash flows and financial condition. We provide quantitative information about the material sales drivers including the effect of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency at the corporate and segment level. We also provide quantitative information about discrete tax items and other significant factors we believe are useful for understanding our results. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited consolidated financial information and related notes included in this Form 10-Q, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019. This discussion contains various “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and also contains various “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We refer readers to the statements entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Forward-Looking Information and Cautionary Statements” located at the end of Item 2 of this report.

OVERVIEW

Bio-Techne and its subsidiaries, collectively doing business as Bio-Techne Corporation (Bio-Techne, we, our, us or the Company) develop, manufacture and sell biotechnology reagents, instruments and services for the research and clinical diagnostic markets worldwide. With our deep product portfolio and application expertise, we strive to provide the life sciences community with innovative, high-quality scientific tools to better understand biological processes and drive discovery of diagnostic and therapeutic products.

Consistent with above, we have operated with two segments – our Protein Sciences segment and our Diagnostics and Genomics segment - during the fiscal year 2020. Our Protein Sciences segment is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-quality purified proteins and reagent solutions, most notably cytokines and growth factors, antibodies, immunoassays, biologically active small molecule compounds, tissue culture reagents and T-Cell activation technologies. This segment also includes protein analysis solutions that offer researchers efficient and streamlined options for automated western blot and multiplexed ELISA workflow. Our Genomics and Diagnostics segment develops and manufactures diagnostic products, including FDA-regulated controls, calibrators, blood gas and clinical chemistry controls and other reagents for OEM and clinical customers, as well as a portfolio of clinical molecular diagnostic oncology assays, including the ExoDx®Prostate(IntelliScore) test for prostate cancer diagnosis. This segment also manufactures and sells advanced tissue-based in-situ hybridization assays (ISH) for research and clinical use.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS

A key component of the Company's strategy is to augment internal growth at existing businesses with complementary acquisitions. The Company did not make any acquisitions in the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Refer to the prior year Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional disclosure regarding the Company's recent acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operational Update

Consolidated net sales increased 5% and 8% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same prior year periods. Organic growth for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was 6% and 8%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of 1% in both comparative periods while acquisitions contributed an immaterial amount in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 1% in the nine months ended March 31, 2020.

Consolidated net earnings decreased to $36.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 from $44.7 million due to approximately $12 million in gains on available-for-sale investments in the prior year. Net earnings increased to $170.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $79.6 million in the same prior year period due to approximately a $110 million gain recorded on available-for-sale investments in the current year.

COVID-19 Business Update

The Company is impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and accordingly, updated its risk factors in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of this form 10-Q.

COVID-19 negatively impacted sales growth during the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 due to numerous customer site shutdowns that occurred in our academia and Bio-Pharma end-markets, particularly in the last several weeks of the quarter. We estimate these customer site shutdowns negatively impacted our third quarter fiscal year 2020 sales by approximately 3%. Customer site shutdowns will continue to have a negative impact on sales while they remain in effect, and we are currently unable to forecast the impact given uncertainty over the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Longer term, we are anticipating a positive outlook for future sales growth resulting from expected future funding increases within life-science research in response to the current pandemic.

The Company has responded to COVID-19 by developing resources for SARS-CoV-2 detection, cytokine monitoring, and drug discovery, all which provide critical support in understanding the mechanisms of infection and developing effective treatments. The Company continues to pursue available opportunities to partner in the fight against COVID-19, which may partially offset the impact of our customer site closures.

Earnings per share (EPS) and Adjusted EPS was negatively impacted by COVID-19 by an estimated $0.07-$0.09 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The COVID-19 impact on EPS and adjusted EPS was primarily due to the sales impacts described above. We anticipate the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on EPS and adjusted EPS to be similar to that of sales growth.

The Company remains in a strong financial position with sufficient available cash to meet its current obligations as well as access to additional funding, if necessary, through our long-term debt agreement. We did not experience any material changes to our March 31, 2020 Balance Sheet resulting from COVID-19 for items such as additional reserves or asset impairments resulting from the pandemic.

The Company remains fully operational as we abide by local “stay at home” orders across the world. To achieve this, the Company is utilizing a remote workforce where possible. For employees who are unable to work remotely, the Company adopted significant protective measures at our sites, including staggered shifts, and distancing and hygiene best practices recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). In addition, the Company has taken additional steps to monitor and strengthen our supply chain to maintain an uninterrupted supply of our critical products and services.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $194.7 million and $562.9 million, respectively, an increase of 5% and 8% from the same prior year periods. Organic growth for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was 6% and 8%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of 1% in both comparative periods while acquisitions contributed an immaterial amount in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 1% in the nine months ended March 31, 2020. For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 the Company experienced broad based revenue growth in North America and China across end markets despite the COVID-19 impacts discussed in the update above.

Gross Margins

Consolidated gross margins for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were 66.8% and 65.7% respectively, compared to 67.4% and 66.1% for the same prior year periods. Under purchase accounting, inventory is valued at fair value less expected selling and marketing costs, resulting in reduced margins in future periods as the inventory is sold. Excluding the impact of acquired inventory sold, stock compensation expense, and amortization of intangibles, adjusted gross margins quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were 71.5% and 70.6% , respectively compared to 71.3% and 71.3% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. Both consolidated gross margins and non-GAAP adjusted gross margins were negatively impacted by unfavorable product mix and foreign exchange rates as compared to the prior year.

A reconciliation of the reported consolidated gross margin percentages, adjusted for acquired inventory sold and intangible amortization included in cost of sales, is as follows:

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |

Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage |  |  | 71.5 | % |  |  | 71.3 | % |  |  | 70.6 | % |  |  | 71.3 | %

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million (2%) and $7.7 million (4%) for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, from the same prior year periods. Selling, general, and administrative expense for both the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by additional employees to scale our businesses.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased $0.4 million (3%) and $2.3 million (5%), for the quarter and nine month periods ended March 31, 2020, respectively, from the same prior year periods. The increases were driven by recent acquisitions.

Diagnostics and Genomics’ net sales for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $49.4 million and $135.8 million, respectively, compared to $47.1 million and $123.1 million for the same prior year period. Organic growth for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was 5% and 10%, respectively, with currency exchange having an immaterial impact. Overall segment revenue growth was driven by strong growth in our ExoDx Prostate Test, RNA scope, hematology, and glucose products lines.

The operating margin for the segment was 14.3% and 6.6% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 7.6% and 4.1%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2019. Operating income margin was favorably impacted in both comparative periods by volume leverage and Medicare reimbursement for our ExoDx Prostate Test.

Income Taxes

Income taxes were at an effective rate of 22.2% and 20.7% of consolidated earnings for the quarter and nine month period ended March 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 10.5% and 10.8% for the same prior year periods. The change in the Company’s tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was driven by the composition and amount of net income across periods and the impact of discrete tax items of $1.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively, compared to prior year discrete tax items of $6.2 million and $11.4 million as further discussed in Note 12.

The annual forecasted tax rate as of the third fiscal quarter of 2020 before discrete items is 26.2% compared to the prior year forecasted tax rate before discrete items of 23.6%. Excluding the impact of discrete items, the Company expects the consolidated income tax rate for the remainder of fiscal 2020 to range from 24% to 28%.

Depending on the nature of discrete tax items, our reported tax rate may not be consistent on a period to period basis. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate considering the impact of discrete items and jurisdictional mix of the identified non-GAAP adjustments. The following table summarizes the reported GAAP tax rate and the effective Non-GAAP adjusted tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Reported GAAP tax rate |  |  | 22.2 | % |  |  | 10.5 | % |  |  | 20.7 | % |  |  | 10.8 | %
Tax rate impact of: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Identified non-GAAP adjustments |  |  | (4.0 | )% |  |  | (2.9 | )% |  |  | (2.8 | )% |  |  | (2.5 | )%
Discrete tax items |  |  | 3.1 | % |  |  | 12.3 | % |  |  | 3.8 | % |  |  | 12.8 | %
Non-GAAP adjusted tax rate |  |  | 21.3 | % |  |  | 19.9 | % |  |  | 21.6 | % |  |  | 21.1 | %

The difference between the reported GAAP tax rate and non-GAAP tax rate applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 is primarily a result of discrete tax items, including the tax benefit of stock option exercises.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments were $261.1 million compared to $166.0 million as of June 30, 2019. Included in available-for-sale-investments as of March 31, 2020 was the fair value of the Company's investment in ChemoCentryx, Inc. (CCXI) of $70.2 million. The fair value of the Company's CCXI investment at June 30, 2019 was $38.2 million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no reportable off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Other than the contingent consideration associated with the Exosome, Quad, and B-MoGen and acquisitions, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Company's contractual obligations during the quarter or nine months ended March 31, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2019 and are incorporated herein by reference. The application of certain of these policies requires judgments and estimates that can affect the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Judgments and estimates are used for, but not limited to, valuation of available-for-sale investments, inventory valuation and allowances, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill and valuation of investments in unconsolidated entities. There have been no significant changes in estimates in the quarter or nine months ended March 31, 2020 that would require disclosure nor have there been any changes to the Company's policies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in Item 2, 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:

| • | Organic Growth
| • | Adjusted gross margin
| • | Adjusted net earnings
| • | Adjusted effective tax rate

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.

Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic growth represents revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months as well as the impact of foreign currency. Excluding these measures provides more useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which can vary significantly from period to period, and revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period

Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin and adjusted net earnings exclude the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and acquisition related expenses, inclusive of changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. 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 inclusive of the changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, 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.

The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted net earnings also excludes stock-based compensation expense, which is inclusive the employer portion of payroll taxes of those stock awards, restructuring, impairments of equity method investments, gain and losses from investments, other non-recurring assessments and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Stock-based compensation is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted net 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 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. Costs related to restructuring activities and other non-recurring assessments, 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.

The Company periodically reassesses the components of our non-GAAP adjustments for changes in how we evaluate our performance, changes in how we make financial and operational decisions, and considers the use of these measures by our competitors and peers to ensure the adjustments are still relevant and meaningful.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of March 31, 2020, the Company held an investment in the common stock of CCXI. The investment was included in short-term available-for-sale investments at its fair value of $70.2 million. As of March 31 2020, the potential loss in fair value due to a 10% decrease in the market value of CCXI was $7.0 million.

The Company operates internationally, and thus is subject to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, approximately 44% of consolidated net sales were made in foreign currencies, including 17% in euros, 6% in British pound sterling, 7% in Chinese yuan and the remaining 12% in other currencies. The Company is exposed to market risk mainly from foreign exchange rate fluctuations of the euro, British pound sterling, the Chinese yuan, and the Canadian dollar, as compared to the U.S. dollar, as the financial position and operating results of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation.

Month-end average exchange rates between the British pound sterling, euro, Chinese yuan and the Canadian dollar, which have not been weighted for actual sales volume in the applicable months in the periods, to the U.S. dollar were as follows:

|  | Quarter Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | March 31, |  |  | March 31, |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Euro |  | $ | 1.10 |  |  | $ | 1.14 |  |  | $ | 1.11 |  |  | $ | 1.15 |
British pound sterling |  |  | 1.28 |  |  |  | 1.30 |  |  |  | 1.27 |  |  |  | 1.30 |
Chinese yuan |  |  | 0.14 |  |  |  | 0.15 |  |  |  | 0.14 |  |  |  | 0.15 |
Canadian dollar |  |  | 0.74 |  |  |  | 0.75 |  |  |  | 0.75 |  |  |  | 0.76 |

The Company's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations also arises from trade receivables, trade payables and intercompany payables denominated in one currency in the financial statements, but receivable or payable in another currency. The effects of a hypothetical simultaneous 10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar from March 31, 2020 levels against the euro, British pound sterling, Chinese yuan and the Canadian dollar are as follows (in thousands):

Decrease in translation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries (annualized) |  | $ | 2,583 |
Decrease in translation of net assets of foreign subsidiaries |  |  | 43,648 |
Additional transaction losses |  |  | (870) |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of May 11, 2020, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than additional risks identified below related to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been no other material changes from the risk factors for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2020 found in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.

We are subject to financial, operating, legal and compliance risk associated with global operations, including global public health crises such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.

We engage in business globally, which subjects us to a number of unpredictable or unexpected risks and factors outside our control, including risks associated with public health crises such as epidemics and pandemics. The current pandemic resulting from a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) that has spread globally has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets while increasing overall economic uncertainty. It is likely that the pandemic will cause a significant economic slowdown and possibly a global recession while also adversely impacting access to and the cost of capital markets.

COVID-19 is having, and will continue to have, an adverse impact on our employees, operations, supply chains, and sales and distribution systems, including as a result of impacts associated with protective health measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking. Many employers in our primary locations of business are closing sites and requiring their employees to work from home or not work at all. These site closures have included our customers, which have caused and will continue to cause customers to delay or forego purchases of our products. During the pandemic, we have experienced, and will continue to experience, significant and unpredictable reductions or increases in demand for certain of our products. As the pandemic continues, we will continue to experience a decline in sales activities and customer orders in most of our businesses, and it remains uncertain what impact these declines will have on future sales and customer orders once conditions begin to improve. In addition to existing travel restrictions, countries may continue to close borders, impose prolonged quarantines, and further restrict travel, which may impact our ability to support our sites and customers in the future while also significantly limiting the ability of our products from moving through the supply chain. As a result, given the rapid and evolving nature of the virus, COVID-19 will negatively affect our revenue growth, and it is uncertain how materially COVID-19 will affect our global operations, which generally will become more severe over an extended period of time. Any of these impacts would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and at this point, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain.

During fiscal 2019, the Company repurchased 95,000 shares for $15.4 million at an average share price of $162.15. As of March 31, 2020, we have authorization of approximately $7 million to purchase additional shares under the Company's previously disclosed share repurchase plan, which grants management the discretion to mitigate the dilutive effect of stock option exercises by authorizing repurchase of shares up to the amount of stock returned to the corporation through stock option exercises subsequent to June 30, 2018.
