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 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, 2023, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023. A summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company is detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023. The Company follows these policies in preparation of the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, 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 operating segments disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023.

Partially-owned consolidated subsidiary: On September 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its equity shares of Changzhou Eminence Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Eminence) for approximately $17.8 million to a third party. Eminence was considered a variable-interest entity that was fully consolidated in our financial statements. Prior to the sale, Eminence had revenue of $2.0 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2023 within our Protein Sciences segment. As a result of the sale of the business, the Company recorded a gain of $11.7 million within the Other income (expense) line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Investments: In December 2021, the Company paid $25 million to enter into a two-part forward contract which requires the Company to make an initial ownership investment followed by purchase of full equity interest in Wilson Wolf Corporation (Wilson Wolf) if certain annual revenue or annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) thresholds are met. Wilson Wolf is a leading manufacturer of cell culture devices, including the G-Rex product line. The first part of the forward contract is triggered upon Wilson Wolf achieving approximately $92 million in annual revenue or $55 million in EBITDA at any point prior to December 31, 2027. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company determined that Wilson Wolf had met the EBITDA target. On March 31, 2023, the Company paid an additional $232 million to acquire 19.9% of Wilson Wolf.

Since the first part of the forward contract has been triggered, the second part of the forward contract will automatically trigger, and requires the Company to acquire the remaining equity interest in Wilson Wolf on December 31, 2027 based on a revenue multiple of approximately 4.4 times trailing twelve month revenue. The second part of the contract would be accelerated in advance of December 31, 2027, if Wilson Wolf meets its second milestone of approximately $226 million in annual revenue or $136 million in annual EBITDA. If the second milestone is achieved, the forward contract requires the Company to pay approximately $1 billion plus potential consideration for revenue in excess of the revenue milestone.

Table of Contents

The investment in Wilson Wolf is accounted for as an equity method investment under ASC 323. The Company initially records its equity method investments at the amount of the Company’s investment and adjusts each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividends paid. Distributions from the equity method investee are accounted for using the cumulative earnings approach on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. There was $1.7 million and $6.0 million of loss for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income related to the investment. There was not material income or loss during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s total investment of $248 million is included within Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024. There was $256 million included within Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023.

Restructuring actions: Restructuring actions generally include significant actions involving employee-related severance charges, contract termination costs, and impairments and disposals of assets associated with such actions. Employee-related severance charges are based upon distributed employment policies and substantive severance plans. These charges are reflected in the quarter when the actions are probable and the amounts are estimable, which typically is when management approves the associated actions. Asset-related and other charges include impairment of right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements, other asset write-downs associated with combining operations, disposal of assets and other exit costs. Other costs also includes restructuring-related charges, which are incremental costs incurred directly supporting business transformation initiatives tied to the restructuring action.

Fiscal Year 2024 Restructuring Actions:

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company announced enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our distribution footprint, and enhancing our organization efficiency. These actions impacted approximately 4% of our global workforce. The Company is expecting to incur costs related to these actions through the first half of fiscal 2025, which will be recorded when specified criteria are met.

As part of these actions, certain assets and liabilities associated with a disposal group in our Protein Sciences segment were classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2023, including $1.4 million of goodwill allocated to the disposal group on a relative fair value basis. As a result of an impairment test performed over the disposal group in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an impairment charge of $6.0 million which includes the allocated goodwill, was recorded in the Selling, general and administrative line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the assets remaining within the disposal group primarily include inventory of $11.2 million, property and equipment of $5.6 million, intangibles of $14.3 million, and current liabilities of $0.7 million. These assets are actively marketed and we believe their sale will be completed within 12 months of the held-for-sale classification date. The held-for-sale assets and liabilities are recorded in Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024.

The restructuring and restructuring-related charges, including the impairment of assets held-for-sale, for periods presented were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows (in thousands):

​

Relevant New Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

​

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280), which requires incremental disclosures on reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures on significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 for our annual report and for interim periods starting in fiscal year 2026. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

​

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires incremental annual disclosures on income taxes, including rate reconciliations, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 for our annual report. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

​

Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

Note 2. Revenue Recognition:

Consumables revenues consist of specialized proteins, immunoassays, antibodies, reagents, blood chemistry and blood gas quality controls, and hematology instrument controls that are typically single-use products 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. Service revenues consist of extended warranty contracts, post contract support, 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. Service revenues also include laboratory services recognized at point in time.

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 for contracts with an original length greater than one year were not material as of March 31, 2024.

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.

​

Table of Contents

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, 2024 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, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were approximately $32.0 million and $24.6 million, respectively. Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023 subsequently recognized as revenue during the quarter and nine month period ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $3.2 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Contract liabilities in excess of one year are included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated 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.

The following tables present our disaggregated revenue for the periods presented.

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 that the results of operations of each acquired business be included in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income from their respective dates of acquisitions. Acquisition costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Fiscal year 2024 Acquisitions

Lunaphore Technologies SA.

On July 7, 2023, the Company acquired all of the ownership interests of Lunaphore Technologies SA (“Lunaphore”) for $169.7 million, in a cash-free, debt-free acquisition. Lunaphore is a leading developer of fully automated spatial biology solutions. The Lunaphore acquisition adds spatial biology instruments to Bio-Techne’s portfolio to accelerate our leadership position in translational and clinical research markets. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The goodwill recorded as a 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 Diagnostics and Genomics operating segment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

The allocation of purchase consideration related to Lunaphore is considered preliminary with provisional amounts primarily related to intangible assets, certain tax-related amounts, and goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of purchase price within the one-year measurement-period following the acquisition. Net sales of this business included in Bio-Techne's consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine month period ended March 31, 2024 were $4.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Operating loss of this business included in Bio-Techne's consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine month period ended March 31, 2024 was $6.8 million and $21.0 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Tangible assets and liabilities acquired were recorded at fair value on the date of close based on management's preliminary assessment. The purchase price allocated to developed technology and customer relationships was based on management’s preliminary forecasted cash inflows and outflows and using a multiperiod excess earnings method to calculate the fair value of assets purchased. The purchase price allocated to trade names was based on management's preliminary forecasted cash inflows and outflows and using a relief from royalty method. 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. Amortization expense related to customer relationships is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The amortization period for customer relationships is estimated to be 8 years. The amount recorded for trade names is being amortized with the expense reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The amortization period for trade names ranges from 4 years to 8 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 preliminary calculation of acquired net operating losses.

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.

Fair value measurements of available-for-sale securities

​

Our available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets.

​

Fair value measurements of derivative instruments

The Company utilizes forward starting swaps designated as a cash flow hedge on forecasted 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 forecasted variable interest long-term debt to that of a fixed interest rate. Accordingly, as part of the forward starting swaps, the Company exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between floating and fixed interest amounts based on a notional principal amount. The Company also uses a cross-currency swap contract to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk associated with the Company's net investment in its Swiss subsidiary.

The following table presents the contractual amounts of the Company's outstanding instruments (in millions):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

Cross-currency swap(2) | ​ | Net investment hedge | ​ | ​ | 150 | ​ | ​ | —

(1) In May 2021, the Company entered into a forward starting swap designated as a cash flow hedge on forecasted debt based on $200 million of notional principal. The effective date of the swap was November 2022 with the full swap maturing in November 2025. In March 2023, the Company entered into a forward starting swap designated as a cash flow hedge on forecasted debt based on $100 million of notional principal. The effective date of the swap was April 2023 with the full swap maturing in April 2025.

(2) In July 2023, the Company entered into a pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contract with a total notional amount of $150 million that was designated as a hedge to lock in the Swiss franc (CHF) rate for a portion of the Company's CHF net investment in its Lunaphore subsidiary in Switzerland. The objective of the hedge is to protect the net investment in the Company's CHF-denominated operations against changes in the spot exchange rates, on a pre-tax basis. The hedging instrument has four interim settlement dates, which will reduce the notional on the hedging instrument by $10 million at each interim date, and will reduce the notional to $110 million at maturity.

​

Gains or losses related to the net investment hedges are classified as foreign currency translation adjustments in the schedule of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in Note 8, as these items are attributable to the Company’s hedges of its net investment in foreign operations. Gains or losses related to the cash flow hedges are classified as Unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges in the schedule of changes in AOCI in Note 8.

Fair value measurements of contingent consideration

The Company does not have outstanding contingent consideration as of March 31, 2024 as the Asuragen and Namocell acquisitions did not meet their respective revenue milestones as of December 31, 2023.

​

The Asuragen contingent agreement required the Company to make contingent consideration payments of up to $105.0 million if certain revenue thresholds were achieved by December 31, 2023. The opening balance sheet fair value of the liabilities was $18.3 million, which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model discounted to present value. Assumptions used in these calculations are units sold, expected revenue, expected expenses, discount rate, and various probability factors. The contingent consideration related to Asuragen was $2.0 million as of June 30, 2023.

​

The Namocell contingent agreement required the Company to make contingent consideration payments of up to $25.0 million if certain revenue thresholds were achieved by December 31, 2023. The opening balance sheet fair value of the liabilities was $10.6 million, which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model discounted to present value. Assumptions used in these calculations are units sold, expected revenue, expected expenses, discount rate, and various probability factors. The contingent consideration related to Namocell was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2023.

​

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 selling, general and administrative expense.

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.

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 and long-term debt approximates fair value because our interest rate is variable and reflects current market rates.

​

Note 6. Debt and Other Financing Arrangements:

On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a revolving line-of-credit and term loan by a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility of $1 billion, which can be increased by an additional $400 million subject to certain conditions. 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 one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) 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 12.5 basis points.

The Credit Agreement matures on August 1, 2027 and contains customary restrictive and financial covenants and customary events of default. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $389.0 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 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 Bio-Techne’s incremental borrowing rate or, if available, the rate implicit in the lease. Bio-Techne 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 nine months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $3.8 million in variable lease expense and $13.7 million relating to fixed lease expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS

A key component of the Company's strategy is to augment internal growth at existing businesses with complementary acquisitions. On July 7, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Lunaphore Technologies SA (Lunaphore) for $169.7 million in a cash-free, debt-free acquisition. The Lunaphore acquisition adds spatial biology instruments to Bio-Techne’s portfolio to accelerate our leadership position in translational and clinical research markets. Refer to Note 4 for additional disclosure regarding the Company's recent acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operational Update

Consolidated net sales increased 3% and 2% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Organic revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased 2% compared to the prior year with acquisitions contributing 1% impact. Foreign currency exchange and a business held-for-sale did not have a material impact. Organic revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 remained flat compared to the same prior year period with acquisitions and foreign currency exchange each having a favorable impact of 1%. A business held-for-sale did not have a material impact.

Consolidated net earnings attributable to Bio-Techne decreased to $49.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $70.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net earnings attributable to Bio-Techne is primarily due to the acquisition of Lunaphore, CEO transition and restructuring charges, and unfavorable volume within Protein Sciences. Consolidated net earnings attributable to Bio-Techne decreased to $127.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $209.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Prior year net earnings attributable to Bio-Techne was favorably impacted by a non-recurring gain of $37.2 million on the sale of our ChemoCentryx investment and a non-recurring gain of $11.7 million on the sale of our Eminence investment.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased 3% at $303.4 million compared to the same prior year period. Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 were $853.0 million, an increase of 2% from the same prior year period. Organic revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased 2% compared to the prior year with acquisitions contributing 1%. Foreign currency exchange and a business held-for-sale did not have a material impact. Organic revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 remained flat compared to the prior year same period with acquisitions and foreign currency exchange each having a favorable impact of 1%. A business held-for-sale did not have a material impact. Organic revenue for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by higher sales within the Diagnostics & Genomics segment, partially offset by lower sales from customers in China and Europe within the Protein Sciences segment.

Gross Margins

Consolidated gross margins for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 were 67.4% and 66.4% respectively, compared to 68.7% and 67.6% 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 costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of intangibles, stock compensation expense, restructuring and restructuring-related expenses, impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries, and the impact of a business held-for-sale, adjusted gross margins for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 were 71.9% and 71.0%, respectively compared to 72.6% and 71.8% for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. Both consolidated gross margins and non-GAAP adjusted gross margins for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024 were impacted by unfavorable volume and the acquisition of Lunaphore.

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, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

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, 2024 is primarily a result of discrete tax items, including the tax benefit of stock option exercises.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments were $145.3 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $204.3 million as of June 30, 2023. Included in the available-for-sale-investments as March 31, 2024 is $5.4 million of short-term certificates of deposit. Included in the available-for-sale investments as of June 30, 2023 was the fair value of the Company’s investment in exchange traded investment grade bond funds of $23.7 million. During the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company sold its investment in exchange traded investment grade bond funds.

The Company has a line-of-credit governed by a Credit Agreement dated August 31, 2022 that will mature on August 1, 2027. This Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s previous credit agreement that was entered into on August 1, 2018 and would have matured on August 1, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, there is $611 million available on the line-of-credit. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Credit Agreement.

During fiscal year 2022, the Company paid $25 million to enter into a two-part forward contract which requires the Company to purchase the full equity interest in Wilson Wolf if certain annual revenue or EBITDA thresholds are met. During the third fiscal quarter of 2023, Wilson Wolf met the required threshold for the first part of the forward contract. A payment of $232 million was made during the third fiscal quarter of 2023. The Company is currently forecasting the second option payment of approximately $1 billion plus potential contingent consideration to occur between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2028.

Management of the Company expects to be able to meet its cash and working capital requirements for operations, facility expansion, capital additions, and cash dividends for the foreseeable future, and at least the next 12 months, through currently available cash, cash generated from operations, and remaining credit available on its existing revolving line of credit.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The Company generated cash of $223.5 million from operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $171.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to favorable timing of payments on certain operating assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

We continue to make investments in our business, including capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures for fixed assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were $44.9 million and $27.4 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2024 are expected to be approximately $16 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be financed through currently available funds and cash generated from operating activities. Expected additions in fiscal 2024 are related to increasing capacity to meet expected sales growth across the Company.

During the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company acquired Lunaphore Technologies SA for $169.7 million, compared to the acquisition of Namocell, Inc for $101.2 million, net of cash acquired, in the comparative prior year period.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company paid cash dividends of $37.8 million and $37.7 million, respectively, to all common shareholders. On May 1, 2024, the Company announced the payment of an $0.08 per share cash dividend, or approximately $12.6 million, will be payable May 24, 2024, to all common shareholders of record on May 13, 2024.

Cash of $38.0 million and $21.4 million was received during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, from the exercise of stock options.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company made repayments of $186.0 million and $505.7 million, respectively, on its long-term debt balance. The Company drew $225.0 million and $619.7 million under its revolving line-of-credit facility during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

There were $80.0 million of share repurchases during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 included as a cash outflow within financing activities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased $19.6 million in share repurchases included as a cash outflow within financing activities.

​

During the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company paid $21.5 million and $28.9 million related to taxes on restricted stock units and stock options exercised through net share settlements classified as financing activities.

​

The decrease in other financing activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily related to fees for the amended Credit Agreement that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. There were no such payments during the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023 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, 2024 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 revenue
●Adjusted gross margin
●Adjusted operating margin
●Adjusted net earnings and diluted earnings per share
●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 revenue represents revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months, the impact of foreign currency, the impact of businesses held-for-sale, as well as the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries. 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. Revenues from businesses held-for-sale are excluded from our organic revenue calculation starting on the date they become held-for-sale as those revenues will not be comparative in future periods. Revenues from partially-owned subsidiaries consolidated in our financial statements are also excluded from our organic revenue calculation, as those revenues are not fully attributable to the Company. There was no revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 due to the sale of Changzhou Eminence Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Eminence) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries was $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

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 stock-based compensation, which is inclusive of the employer portion of payroll taxes on those stock awards, the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, restructuring and restructuring-related costs, and other non-recurring items including non-recurring costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and gains. Stock-based compensation is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted net earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjection assumptions, variety of award types, and unpredictability of amount and timing of employer related tax obligations. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory and acquisition-related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including gains or losses on legal settlements, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and one-time assessments 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. Costs related to restructuring and restructuring-related activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs. Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity. The Company also excludes revenue and expense attributable to partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries as well as revenue and expense attributable to businesses held-for-sale in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes acquisition related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value of contingent consideration, gain and losses from investments, as they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions (excluding our equity method investment in Wilson Wolf as it is certain to be acquired in the future), certain adjustments to income tax expense, and other non-recurring items including certain costs related to the transition to a new CEO. Additionally, gains and losses from investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded. 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.

Readers are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the adjusted financial measures used in management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the Company to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those regarding the Company's expectations as to the effect of changes to accounting policies, the amount of capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year, the source of funding for capital expenditure requirements, the sufficiency of currently available funds for meeting the Company's needs, the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and expectations regarding gross margin fluctuations, increasing research and development expenses, increasing selling, general and administrative expenses and income tax rates. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may affect the actual results of operations. The following important factors, among others, have affected and, in the future, could affect the Company's actual results: integration of newly acquired businesses, the introduction and acceptance of new products, general national and international economic, political, regulatory, and other conditions, increased competition, the reliance on internal manufacturing and related operations, supply chain challenges, the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations, the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, the impact of governmental regulation, maintenance of intellectual property rights, credit risk and fluctuation in the market value of the Company's investment portfolio, and unseen delays and expenses related to facility construction and improvements. For additional information concerning such factors, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Part II. Item 1A below.

​

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company operates internationally, and thus is subject to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, approximately 32% of consolidated net sales were made in foreign currencies, including 14% in euros, 4% in British pound sterling, 6% in Chinese yuan, 3% in Canadian dollars, and the remaining 5% 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, Canadian dollar, and Swiss franc 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,
​ | ​ | 2024 | ​ | 2023 | ​ | 2024 | ​ | 2023
Euro |  | $ | 1.08 |  | $ | 1.08 | ​ | $ | 1.08 |  | $ | 1.04
British pound sterling | ​ |  | 1.27 | ​ |  | 1.23 | ​ |  | 1.26 | ​ |  | 1.19
Chinese yuan | ​ |  | 0.14 | ​ |  | 0.15 | ​ |  | 0.14 | ​ |  | 0.14
Canadian dollar | ​ |  | 0.74 | ​ |  | 0.74 | ​ | ​ | 0.74 | ​ | ​ | 0.75
Swiss franc | ​ | ​ | 1.14 | ​ | ​ | 1.08 | ​ | ​ | 1.14 | ​ | ​ | 1.05

​

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, 2024 levels against the euro, British pound sterling, Chinese yuan and Canadian dollar are as follows (in thousands):

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Decrease in translation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries (annualized) |  | $ | 3,894
Decrease in translation of net assets of foreign subsidiaries | ​ |  | 60,565
Additional transaction losses | ​ |  | 4,527
