These costs are directed at simplifying, standardizing, streamlining, and optimizing the Company’s operations, processes and systems to permanently alter the Company’s operations for the long term. For a project to be considered transformational, successful completion of the project must be expected to bring long-term material benefits to the organization and involve significant changes to process and/or underlying technology. Transformation costs in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design. Core Products are Automated Stores, Cryogenic Systems, Automated Sample Tube, Consumables and Instruments and Controlled Rate Thawing Devices. Includes expenses related to governance-related matters. 0000933974 2024-10-01 2025-03-31 xbrli:shares 0000933974 2025-05-01 thunderdome:item iso4217:USD 0000933974 2025-03-31 0000933974 2024-09-30

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, following approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company publicly announced its plan to sell the B Medical Systems business. The B Medical Systems business operates as a separate business unit within the Company and operated as its own operating and reportable segment called the B Medical Systems segment focused on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations.

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (“FASB ASC 205”) as of November 12, 2024. Results related to the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations for further information about the discontinued business. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the B Medical Systems segment in accordance with FASB ASC 205. The discussion in the notes to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated, relate solely to the Company’s continuing operations.

Also included in discontinued operations is a loss contingency related to the Company's sale of the semiconductor automation business in February 2022. The Company accrued a liability for the loss contingency and had an accrued liability of $2.1 million as of March 31, 2025.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all entities where it has a controlling financial interest and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Table of Contents

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, the accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Revisions to Previously Issued Financial Statements and Financial Information

As previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of its fiscal year 2024 financial statements, the Company identified classification errors in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended September 30, 2023 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024. Specifically, the Company’s historical classification of the effects of exchange rate changes on the Company’s foreign denominated cash and cash equivalent balances was misclassified between the effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities in its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended September 30, 2023 and its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company corrected for immaterial classification errors in between cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, and supplemental disclosures for all revised periods. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024 have been revised and disclosed in Note 21, Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Quarterly Information, in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the section titled “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the interim period ended March 31, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

|  | Six months ended March 31, 2024 |

Purchases of property, plant and equipment included in accounts payable and accrued expenses |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 2,270 |  |  | $ | 2,270 |

The Company assessed the effect of the errors on prior periods under the guidance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” codified in ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Based on its assessment, the Company determined that the error correction is not material to any previously issued financial statements. The correction has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated net income, financial position, net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, or total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as previously reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are associated with recording accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets other than goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative financial instruments, deferred income taxes, warranty obligations, revenue over time, stock-based compensation expense, and other accounts. The Company assesses the estimates on an ongoing basis and records changes in estimates in the period they occur and become known.

Foreign Currency Translation

Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency. Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) generated from the settlement and remeasurement of these transactions are recognized in earnings and presented within “Other income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement loss were $1.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement loss were $1.1 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires the disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures pertaining to significant segment expenses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to impact its disclosures until fiscal year 2026.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. Effective fiscal year 2026, the Company is required to disclose climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, the Company will be required to disclose the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions within the notes to the financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds. Effective fiscal year 2027, required disclosures will also include disclosure of material direct greenhouse gas emissions from operations owned or controlled (Scope 1) and material indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased energy consumed in owned or controlled operations (Scope 2). In April 2024, the SEC issued an order voluntarily staying the effectiveness of the new rules pending the completion of judicial review of certain legal challenges to their validity and, in March 2025, the SEC announced that it would end its judicial defense of the rules. The Company, assuming adoption of the rules, is currently evaluating the impact of these rules and monitoring the status of the related litigation and SEC’s stay, which remains in effect as of March 31, 2025.

In 2021, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced its Pillar II Framework Model Rules (“Pillar 2”), which are designed to impose a 15% global minimum tax on the earnings of in-scope multinational corporations on a country-by-country basis. Certain aspects of Pillar 2 took effect on January 1, 2024 while other aspects go into effect on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not expect to meet the consolidated revenue threshold of €750 million over the next twelve months.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires companies to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, by relevant expense caption on the statement of operations. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2025-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. Discontinued Operations

Plan to Sell B Medical Systems Business

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, following approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company publicly announced its plan to sell the B Medical Systems business. The B Medical Systems business operates as a separate business unit within the Company and operated as its own operating and reportable segment called the B Medical Systems segment focused on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations. This action is intended to simplify the Company's portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core businesses. The decision followed work by the Board of Directors to evaluate strategic, operational and financial opportunities to maximize stockholder value. The Company anticipates entering into a definitive agreement to sell its B Medical Systems business by November 2025.

The Company determined that the B Medical Systems segment met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 as of November 12, 2024. Results related to the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, were retroactively reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the B Medical Systems segment in accordance with FASB ASC 205.

Table of Contents

The Company measured the B Medical Systems segment at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell and recorded $24 million of loss on assets held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The estimated fair value of the B Medical Systems segment was derived based on the income approach and the market approach which were weighted equally at 50% each. The discounted cash flow method, or “DCF Method”, was used in the income approach which reflected the Company’s assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, forecasted gross profit margins, operating expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates, terminal period growth rates, economic and market trends, and other expectations about the anticipated operating results of the B Medical Systems segment. The guideline company method was used in the market approach and publicly traded companies in similar line of business were identified and used in an analysis to estimate the fair value. The noncash loss on assets held for sale is included in “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and is included as a valuation allowance or contra-asset account within “Noncurrent assets held for sale” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025.

Disposition of Semiconductor Business

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash to Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. On July 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business for $659.8 million to Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) (“Edwards”). Both the semiconductor automation business and the semiconductor cryogenics business are considered discontinued operations. The Company still may have certain indemnification obligations pursuant to claims made under the definitive agreement it entered into with Edwards in connection with the Company’s sale of its semiconductor cryogenics business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Edwards asserted claims for indemnification under the definitive agreement relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to customer warranty claims and inventory (the “2020 Claim”). In addition, in January 2023, Edwards filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York seeking indemnification from the Company under such definitive agreement for $1.0 million and other related damages, including interest and attorney’s fees, arising from a third-party claim that was included as part of their initial claims (the “2023 Claim”).

In April 2023, the Company responded to and filed a counterclaim against Edwards for the 2023 Claim alleging breach of the definitive agreements by Edwards and seeking a declaratory judgment. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company and Edwards entered into a settlement agreement related to the 2023 Claim to avoid the costs and uncertainties of potential litigation. Under the settlement agreement, the Company paid Edwards $0.8 million from one of the indemnification escrows established at closing of the sale in return for the release of the 2023 Claim and the release to the Company of $1.0 million from a separate indemnification escrow. The Company accrued a liability of $2.5 million for the 2020 Claim and 2023 Claim of which $0.8 million was paid during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company accrued an additional liability of $0.4 million for the 2020 Claim during the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulting in a total accrual of $2.1 million as of March 31, 2025.

The Company had been informed that Edwards sought recovery for the 2020 Claim from the representation and warranty insurance Edwards obtained in connection with the closing of the sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company was further informed that Edwards agreed to a payment under such insurance for claimed amounts in excess of the applicable indemnification deductibles established under the definitive agreement, but less than the total of claimed amounts submitted for recovery. Although management believes that any indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable deductibles established in the definitive agreement would be covered by such insurance, Edwards is seeking recovery from the Company for claimed amounts purportedly not covered, or inadequately covered, by such insurance (the “Claim for Uncovered Amounts”). The Company cannot determine the probability of any losses or outcome of the Claim for Uncovered Amounts including the amount of any indemnifiable losses, if any, resulting from this claim. The Company, however, does not believe that this claim will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations, in each case, for continuing operations. Any potential expense incurred by the Company for these claims would be reflected in discontinued operations.

In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assessment of these claims will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in these matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because the security issuers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Unrealized losses from fixed-income securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent impairments based on the evaluation of the available evidence.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchases

On November 4, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of the Company's common stock (the “2022 Repurchase Authorization”). During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares of common stock for $186.8 million (excluding fees, commissions, and excise tax) under this authorization. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased and retired 30.0 million shares of common stock for the full $1.5 billion approved under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization. All shares repurchased under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization were retired, accounted for as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and treated as a repurchase of common stock for purposes of calculating earnings per share as of the applicable settlement dates. No additional repurchase authorization has been approved and as such there were no shares repurchased during the six months ended March 31, 2025.

Effective January 1, 2023, all corporate share repurchases are subject to a one percent excise tax on the value of the repurchase, net of share issuances, subject to certain exclusions. The excise tax was part of The Inflation Reduction Act passed by the U.S. government in 2022. The Company's accrual for excise tax related to share repurchases is considered an additional cost of the share repurchases and a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid the remaining excise tax due in connection with the 2022 Repurchase Authorization, totaling $11.4 million.

Contract Balances

Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable represent rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company, when payment is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Accounts receivable do not bear interest and are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses representing its best estimate of probable credit losses related to its existing accounts receivable and their net realizable value. The Company determines the allowance for expected credit losses based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of customer credit worthiness, the age of the outstanding receivables, economic trends, historical experience, and other information through the payment periods. Accounts receivable, net were $149.5 million and $156.3 million at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Contract Assets. Contract assets represent rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company and payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. These amounts typically relate to contracts where the right to invoice the customer is not present until completion of the contract or the achievement of specified milestones and the value of the products or services transferred exceed this constraint. Contract assets are classified as current as they are expected to convert to cash within one year. Contract asset balances which are included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, were $31.0 million and $28.9 million at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue of $29.2 million recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and $24.8 million recognized during the six months ended March 31, 2024 contributed to the contract asset balances at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Contract Liabilities. Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to transfer products or services to a customer for which consideration has been received, or for which an amount of consideration is due from the customer. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis at the contract level, depending on the contract’s position at the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities are included within “Deferred revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities were $41.6 million and $30.5 million at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of $14.6 million and $19.7 million in the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period.

Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations within contracts with an original expected contract term that is greater than one year and for which fulfillment of the contract has started as of the end of the reporting period. The aggregate amount of transaction consideration allocated to remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2025 was $83.8 million. The following table summarizes when the Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue; the Company will recognize revenue associated with these performance obligations as transfer of control occurs (in thousands):

​ |  | As of March 31, 2025 |
​ |  | Less than 1 Year |  |  | Greater than 1 Year |  |  | Total |
Remaining performance obligations |  | $ | 54,860 |  |  | $ | 28,946 |  |  | $ | 83,806 |

11. Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may issue to eligible employees options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, restricted stock units and other equity incentives which vest upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and/or a service condition. In addition, the Company issues common stock to participating employees pursuant to an employee stock purchase plan, and may issue common stock awards and deferred restricted stock units to members of its Board of Directors in accordance with its Board of Director compensation program.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The following table reflects the total stock-based compensation expense for continuing operations recorded during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended March 31, 2025:

​ |  | ​ |  |  | Weighted |
​ |  | ​ |  |  | Average |
​ |  | ​ |  |  | Grant-Date |
​ |  | Shares |  |  | Fair Value |
Outstanding as of September 30, 2024 |  |  | 764,111 |  |  | $ | 59.65 |

Outstanding as of March 31, 2025 |  |  | 1,058,482 |  |  | $ | 51.05 |

Awards vested during the six months ended March 31, 2025 per the table above include 9,209 shares for discontinued operations. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $7.2 million for continuing operations.

As of March 31, 2025, the future unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units for continuing operations expected to vest is $32.2 million and is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average amortization period of 1.8 years.

Restricted stock units granted with performance goals may also have a required service period following the achievement of all or a portion of the performance goals. The following table reflects restricted stock units granted during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

​ |  | Six Months Ended March 31, |
​ |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Time-based restricted stock units |  |  | 403,150 |  |  |  | 220,174 |
Performance-based restricted stock units |  |  | 155,689 |  |  |  | 388,532 |
Total units |  |  | 558,839 |  |  |  | 608,706 |

All restricted stock units granted during the six months ended March 31, 2025 included in the table above relate to continuing operations. Restricted stock units granted during the six months ended March 31, 2024 included in the table above include 31,475 units related to discontinued operations.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

Restricted stock units granted with a required service period typically have three-year vesting schedules in which one-third of awards vest at each annual anniversary of grant date, subject to the award holders meeting service requirements.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

Performance-based restricted stock units are earned based on the achievement of performance criteria established by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The criteria for performance-based awards are weighted and have threshold, target, and maximum performance goals.

Performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted allow participants to earn 100% of restricted stock units if the Company’s performance meets or exceeds its target goal for each applicable financial metric, and up to a maximum of 200% if the Company’s performance for such metrics meets or exceeds the maximum or stretch goal. Performance below the minimum threshold for each financial metric results in award forfeiture. Performance goals are measured over a three-year period for each year’s restricted stock unit awards and at the end of the period to determine the number of restricted stock units earned, if any, by recipients who continue to meet the service requirement. Upon the third anniversary of each year’s restricted stock unit awards’ grant date, the Company’s Board of Directors approves the number of restricted stock units earned for participants who continue to meet the service requirements on the vesting date. For restricted stock unit awards that include vesting based on performance conditions, the fair values are estimated based on the intrinsic values of the awards at the grant date.

In October 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the performance goals associated with the previously issued performance-based restricted stock units for all impacted employees, excluding members of the executive team. The performance goals, as amended, are more reflective of the current macroeconomic environment and consideration toward employee retention in the competitive life sciences industry. Before the amendment, the original performance goals were not expected to be satisfied. Subsequent to the amendment, vesting became probable based on the forecasted achievement of the amended performance goals. The amendment of these restricted stock units is treated as a modification with the total potential maximum compensation cost of $3.8 million recognized over the service period through November 2025. The Company recorded expense of $0.3 million and $0.9 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, related to the modified awards. ​

In November 2024, the Company issued restricted stock unit awards with vesting based on market conditions, which will vest based on achievement of the Company's relative total shareholder return against the defined peer group over a three-year period. The fair values for those grants that include vesting based on market conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation included (i) the expected volatility based on the three-year daily historical volatility as measured on the grant date, (ii) risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury constant maturities yields as of the grant date, (iii) correlation assumption based on daily share price changes over three years between the Company and the peer companies measured on the grant date, and (iv) no expected dividend yield.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and U.S. government backed securities with a maturity of three months or less. They are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. Investments classified as Level 2 consist of debt securities valued using matrix pricing benchmarking because they are not actively traded and bank certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Available-For-Sale Securities

Available-for-sale securities primarily consist of highly rated corporate debt securities, and U.S. government backed securities, which are classified as Level 1. Investments classified as Level 2 consist of debt securities that are valued using matrix pricing and benchmarking because they are not actively traded, and bank certificates of deposit.

Convertible Debt Securities and Investment in Equity Securities

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company purchased $2.0 million principal amount of convertible notes issued by a private company. The Company accounted for the investment in convertible notes at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement. As of the conversion date, the fair value of the convertible notes was $2.1 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company converted the convertible notes into 420,000 shares of preferred stock of the private company. The conversion did not result in the recognition of additional gain or loss on the convertible notes. The shares of preferred stock are equity securities and within the scope of ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. The Company elected the measurement alternative for its investment in the shares of preferred stock of the private company because the shares of preferred stock do not have a readily determinable fair value. As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the investment in the shares of preferred stock of the private company was $2.1 million and is included in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value determination is based on unobservable inputs (Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy) which were based on the best information available in the circumstance, including transaction pricing, recent acquisition, and market participant assumptions. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that if changed could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of the assets as of the reporting date.

Foreign Exchange Contracts & Net Investment Hedge

The Company’s foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities, and its net investment hedge assets are measured and reported at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not record any material other-than-temporary impairments on financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

13. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $7.7 million and $11.2 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a $6.6 million tax expense related to a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion and the expectation to repatriate cash to the United States from a China subsidiary. The tax expense is also driven by profits in foreign jurisdictions and current state income taxes in jurisdictions where the Company does not have a net operating loss carryover. Additionally, tax expense is generated on a global loss because the Company does not benefit from the U.S. tax loss due to a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.2 million and $2.6 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The tax expense was primarily driven by a $1.7 million charge related to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets in a foreign subsidiary during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Tax expense also includes $0.5 million of stock compensation shortfall expense for tax deductions that were lower than the associated book compensation expense during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.7 million of expenses related to a valuation allowance on beginning of year U.S. state deferred tax assets.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The Company operates in numerous countries under many legal forms and, as a result, is subject to the jurisdiction of numerous domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company evaluates the profitability of its operations in each jurisdiction on a historic cumulative basis and on a forward-looking basis, while carefully considering carry-forward periods of tax attributes and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance.

The Company has generated U.S. pre-tax losses in recent years and provided a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2024. The Company expects to generate a U.S. book loss during fiscal year 2025 and expects a valuation allowance of $16 million in the United States against its net deferred tax assets for fiscal year 2025.

The Company also maintains a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets on certain foreign tax-paying components.

The Company has provided for deferred income taxes of $6.6 million related to a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion for its operations in China on $62 million of unremitted earnings. The tax expense is driven by foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes. The Company maintains its general assertion of indefinite reinvestment on the remaining unremitted foreign earnings.

The Company maintains liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits based on its estimates and assumptions. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision or benefit. The Company recognized minimal interest expense related to its unrecognized tax benefits during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes in various jurisdictions. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to the Company’s interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which it files.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to income tax audits in various global jurisdictions in which it operates. The years subject to examination vary for the United States and international jurisdictions, with the earliest tax year being 2018. Based on the outcome of these examinations or the expiration of statutes of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits could change from those recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company currently anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest on those benefits will not be reduced in the next twelve months due to the statute of limitations expirations. These unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

As a result of incurring a net loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, outstanding restricted stock units and shares issued by the Company under the employee stock purchase plan were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive to earnings per share for continuing operations based on the treasury stock method. The following table contains all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

(1) | Transformation costs represent non-recurring expenses for strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the Company focused on cost reduction and productivity improvement that do not meet the definition of restructuring charges. These costs are directed at simplifying, standardizing, streamlining, and optimizing the Company’s operations, processes and systems to permanently alter the Company’s operations for the long term. For a project to be considered transformational, successful completion of the project must be expected to bring long-term material benefits to the organization and involve significant changes to process and/or underlying technology. Transformation costs in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

(2) | Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings or, in certain instances, provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. The Company considers all claims on a quarterly basis and based on known facts assesses whether potential losses are considered reasonably possible, probable, and estimable. Based upon this assessment, the Company then evaluates disclosure requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2025 and as of the date of filing of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company believes that, other than the claims related to Edwards disclosed in Note 3, Discontinued Operations, no material provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claims. In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assessment of any claim will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.

Tariff Matter

With the assistance of a third-party consultant, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company initiated a review of the value of transactions it used for intercompany imports into the U. S. from its GENEWIZ business. As a result of this review and an interpretation surrounding the valuation method used to calculate the estimated transaction value, the Company revised its estimate of the tariffs owed and paid $5.9 million to U.S. customs authorities in fiscal year 2022 related to transactions prior to December 2021. In July 2024, the Company paid approximately $2.5 million in tariffs as well as interest related to the imports from its GENEWIZ business into the U.S. during the period from December 2021 to July 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not anticipate any penalties associated with this payment because its valuation methodology was accepted by U.S. customs authorities during previous voluntary disclosures. It is expected that U.S. customs authorities will issue the final audit results for these periods by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had non-cancellable commitments of $57.2 million, comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $44.2 million and other operating expense commitments of $13.0 million.

Plan to Sell B Medical Systems Business

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company announced that it is pursuing a sale of its B Medical Systems business, a manufacturer and global distributor of medical refrigeration devices based in Luxembourg. This strategic action is intended to simplify the Company’s portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics segments. The B Medical Systems segment has been classified as held for sale and a discontinued operation under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, this MD&A relates solely to our continuing operations and excludes the operations of our B Medical Systems business.

Table of Contents

Revenue increased 5% for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, driven by revenue growth in both our Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics segments. The revenue growth in our Sample Management Solutions segment was primarily driven by strong performance in Sample Repository Solutions and Core Products, particularly in Consumables and Instruments and Clinical Stores Systems. The revenue growth in our Multiomics segment was primarily driven by Next Generation Sequencing services, partially offset by declines in Sanger sequencing and Gene Synthesis services. Gross margin was 46% for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 44% for both the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The gross margin increase was primarily driven by higher revenue and gross margin expansion across the business, particularly in our Sample Management Solutions segment, mostly driven by operational efficiencies, sales mix, and the impact of certain non-recurring items recorded in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $2.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by the non-recurring impairment of intangible assets recorded in three months ended March 31, 2024 and lower research and development expense, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense and higher transformation costs. We generated a loss from continuing operations of $18.2 million and $27.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to loss from continuing operations of $16.2 million and $23.4 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by lower interest income and higher income tax expense, partially offset by higher revenue and operational efficiencies. We generated a net loss of $40.5 million and $53.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $136.9 million and $152.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to decreased loss from discontinued operations offsetting the increased loss from continuing operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

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

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are described under Critical Accounting Policies Estimates included in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Please refer to the commentary provided below for further discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to our results from operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

(1) | Transformation costs represent non-recurring expenses for strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the Company focused on cost reduction and productivity improvement that do not meet the definition of restructuring charges. These costs are directed at simplifying, standardizing, streamlining, and optimizing the Company’s operations, processes and systems to permanently alter the Company’s operations for the long term. For a project to be considered transformational, successful completion of the project must be expected to bring long-term material benefits to the organization and involve significant changes to process and/or underlying technology. Transformation costs in the period result from actions taken as part of the Company’s 2024 transformation plan and primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions taken in the period, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.

(2) | Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.

Operating income for the Sample Management Solutions segment was $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an operating loss of $2.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The Sample Management Solutions segment operating margin increased 461 basis points and 418 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increases in operating income and operating margin were primarily driven by higher revenue and gross margin expansion, partially offset by increased transformation costs. Adjusted operating income was $4.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to adjusted operating loss of $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin increased 774 basis points and 566 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating income and margin exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets, transformation costs and other adjustments.

Operating loss for the Multiomics segment was $6.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an operating loss of $3.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The Multiomics segment operating margin decreased 335 basis points and 75 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in operating loss and decrease in operating margin were primarily driven by lower revenue for Gene Synthesis and Sanger sequencing services, partially offset by higher revenue and gross margin expansion for Next Generation Sequencing services. Adjusted operating loss was $5.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to adjusted operating loss of $2.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating margin decreased 371 basis points and 109 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted operating loss and margin exclude the impact of amortization related to completed technology, restructuring charges and other adjustments.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges were $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Restructuring charges were $4.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Please refer to Note 7, Restructuring in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled “Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Non-Operating Income

Interest income, net – We recorded interest income of $4.5 million and $8.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $9.5 million and $19.4 million recorded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in interest income year over year is due to decreased investments in marketable securities. Please refer to Note 4, Marketable Securities and Note 5, Derivative Instruments in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled “Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Other income (expense), net – We recorded other income of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0.2 million of other expense in the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. We recorded other income of $2.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $2.1 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Other income (expense) primarily relates to foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The increase in the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was also attributable to a $2.1 million gain from cash proceeds received from a cost method investment which had no cost basis.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of $7.7 million and $11.2 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. The tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a $6.6 million tax expense related to a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion and the expectation to repatriate cash to the United States from a China subsidiary. The tax expense is also driven by profits in foreign jurisdictions and current state income taxes in jurisdictions where we do not have a net operating loss carryover. Additionally, tax expense is generated on a global loss because we do not benefit from the U.S. tax loss due to a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.2 million and $2.6 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The tax expense was primarily driven by a $1.7 million of charge related to a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets in a foreign subsidiary during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Tax expense also includes $0.5 million of stock compensation shortfall expense for tax deductions that were lower than the associated book compensation expense during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.7 million of expenses related to a valuation allowance on beginning of year U.S. state deferred tax assets.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, following approval by our Board of Directors, we publicly announced our plan to sell the B Medical Systems business. Results related to the B Medical Systems segment are included within discontinued operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Revenue from discontinued operations was $17.2 million and $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue from discontinued operations was $34.8 million and $35.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $22.3 million and $26.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations was $120.7 million and $129.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations includes only direct operating expenses incurred that (1) are clearly identifiable as costs being disposed of upon completion of the sale and (2) will not be continued by the Company on an ongoing basis. Indirect expenses which supported the B Medical Systems segment and remain part of continuing operations, are not reflected in loss from discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations, in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled “Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $513.3 million and stockholders’ equity of $1.7 billion. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and for the foreseeable future thereafter. The current global economic environment makes it difficult for us to predict longer-term liquidity requirements with sufficient certainty. We may be unable to obtain financing that may be required on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on acceptable terms or otherwise, we may be unable to successfully develop or enhance products and services, respond to competitive pressures, or take advantage of acquisition opportunities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities for our continuing operations as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 are as follows:

In thousands |  | March 31, 2025 |  |  | September 30, 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 253,642 |  |  | $ | 280,030 |
Restricted cash |  |  | 8,199 |  |  |  | 10,061 |
Short-term marketable securities |  |  | 74,697 |  |  |  | 151,162 |
Long-term marketable securities |  |  | 176,781 |  |  |  | 49,454 |
​ |  | $ | 513,319 |  |  | $ | 490,707 |

As of March 31, 2025, we had $144.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held outside of the United States which are not currently needed for U.S. operations. We had approximately $52 million of cash in China as of March 31, 2025. We began repatriating the cash to the United States from China during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025 and have provided for $6.6 million of deferred income taxes related to the repatriation plan as of March 31, 2025. Our marketable securities are generally readily convertible to cash without a material adverse impact.

Our cash flows on a total company consolidated basis for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

​ |  | Six Months Ended March 31, |
In thousands |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 44,201 |  |  | $ | 22,371 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (61,586 | ) |  |  | (173,009 | )
Net cash used in financing activities |  |  | (10,280 | ) |  |  | (185,542 | )
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  |  | (4,459 | ) |  |  | 16,255 |
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | $ | (32,124 | ) |  | $ | (319,925 | )

Cash inflows from operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025 were $44.2 million, primarily due to increased revenue and collections and a U.S. federal tax refund of $11.5 million received in the six months ended March 31, 2025. Investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025 include $236.2 million in purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by $184.6 million in sales and maturities of marketable securities. Financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025 include $11.4 million of excise tax payments related to our share repurchases settled in fiscal year 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding debt on our balance sheet.

Capital Resources

Contractual Obligations and Requirements

As of March 31, 2025, we had non-cancellable commitments of $57.2 million comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $44.2 million and other operating expense commitments of $13.0 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term and long-term investments and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Exposure

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist principally of money market securities which are short-term in nature. At March 31, 2025, our aggregate short-term and long-term investments were $251.5 million, consisting mostly of highly rated corporate debt securities and U.S. government backed securities. At March 31, 2025, there was no net unrealized loss position on marketable securities included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $2.0 million and $4.8 million change in interest income earned during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Currency Rate Exposure

We have transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting entity. Most of these transactions carrying foreign exchange risk are in Germany, the United Kingdom, and China. Sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately 34% and 30% of our total sales, respectively, during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These sales were made primarily by our foreign subsidiaries, which have cost structures that substantially align with the currency of sale.

In the normal course of our business, we have liquid assets denominated in non-functional currencies which include cash, short-term advances between our legal entities and accounts receivable which are subject to foreign currency exposure. Such balances were $62.8 million and $63.9 million, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, and primarily relate to the Euro and British Pound. We mitigate the impact of potential currency translation losses on these short-term intercompany advances by the timely settlement of each transaction, generally within 30 days. We also utilize forward contracts to mitigate our exposures to currency movement. We incurred foreign currency losses of $1.1 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which related to the currency fluctuation on these balances between the time the transaction occurred and the ultimate settlement of the transaction. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2025 would result in an approximate change of $0.4 million in our net loss during the six months ended March 31, 2025.

​

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses described below. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for each of the periods presented.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As previously disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the cash flow statement. This material weakness, which continues to exist as of March 31, 2025 resulted in immaterial misstatements in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2023, the year ended September 30, 2023, the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024, the Q1 interim period during fiscal year 2025, and in our supplemental cash flow disclosures for the year ended September 30, 2022, each interim and annual period during fiscal year 2023 and the Q1, Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we identified an additional material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the preparation and review of account reconciliations. This material weakness resulted in immaterial misstatements in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the Q1 and Q2 interim periods during fiscal year 2025. We concluded this material weakness existed as of Q1 2025.

Additionally, the material weaknesses could result in misstatements of substantially all account balances and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Plans

Statements of Cash Flows - During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we took steps to remediate the material weakness described above, including implementing a new cash flow reporting tool which automates the calculation of the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, and we implemented and documented new processes and controls over the review of our consolidated statement of cash flows. We continued to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these changes to our controls during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. While the new and enhanced controls have been designed and implemented, they have not operated for a sufficient period of time as of March 31, 2025 to assert the material weakness has been remediated.

Account Reconciliations – Our management is currently forming a plan to remediate the material weakness related to the preparation and review of account reconciliations described above. We intend to take the necessary steps to address this material weakness by designing and implementing controls to resolve the underlying cause of this material weakness. Our planned remediation actions currently include, but are not limited to, the following:

| ● | design and implementation of enhanced controls, operating at the level necessary to prevent and detect potential material misstatements and to aid in the detection of potential deviations in balance sheet accounts;

| ● | redesign and implementation of the balance sheet account reconciliation policy and approval process, incorporating enhanced training and establishing additional controls or control activities, with appropriate levels of evidence regarding aging, thresholds and supporting documentation; and

| ● | engagement with outside consultants to assist in certain aspects of the remediation plan.

These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting, and as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify certain remediation measures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Other than the material weakness described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings or in certain instances provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations, in each case, for continuing operations. Please refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations and Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the section titled “Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information about our legal proceedings. In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these legal proceedings, there can be no assurance that our assessment of any claim will reflect the ultimate outcome and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.

​

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as set forth below. We may disclose additional changes to risk factors or additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

International trade disputes, including as a result of recently announced tariffs, could result in additional or increased tariffs, export controls or other trade restrictions that may have a material impact on our business.

We sell a significant number of products outside the United States, including in China and Africa. Based on the complex relationships among these countries and the United States, there is inherent risk that political, diplomatic and national security influences might lead to trade disputes, impacts and/or disruptions. In particular, any significant political or trade developments, such as those stemming from the change in the U.S. federal administration, are difficult to predict and may have a material adverse effect on us. Similarly, changes in U.S. federal policy that affect the geopolitical landscape could give rise to circumstances outside our control that could have negative impacts on our business operations. For example, in April 2025, the United States imposed broad tariffs on imports from virtually all countries, with particularly high tariffs on imports from China. Since this announcement, most tariffs for countries other than China have been suspended temporarily. In response to tariffs, some countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, while others seek to negotiate agreements regarding U.S.-imposed tariffs. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions and, to date, the outcome of the negotiations between the United States and the various countries is not yet clear. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any changes in political, trade, regulatory, and economic conditions, including U.S. trade policies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Increases in tariffs, additional taxes or other trade restrictions and retaliatory measures may increasingly impact customer demand and customer investment in manufacturing equipment, increase our manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or inhibit our ability to sell products or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

In addition, a portion of the manufacturing for our products and provision of services takes place in China through third-party manufacturers and service providers. The BIOSECURE Act that was recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives is aimed at discouraging federal contracting with certain Chinese biotechnology companies for biotechnology equipment or services. If the BIOSECURE Act becomes law, its implementation has the potential to impact supply of our products and services. Additionally, if following the enactment and implementation of the BIOSECURE ACT we are required to change manufacturers or service providers for any reason, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer or provider maintains facilities and procedures that comply with quality standards and with all applicable regulations and guidelines. We anticipate that the complexity of our processes may impact the amount of time it may take to secure a replacement manufacturer or provider and such delays could negatively affect our ability to develop and sell products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which led to a conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as of March 31, 2025. Our ability to remediate these material weaknesses, the discovery of additional material weaknesses, and our inability to achieve and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, could adversely affect our results of operations, our stock price and investor confidence in our company.

Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, our management is required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. Quarterly, we perform activities that include reviewing, documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we will not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock. This could result in significant expenses to remediate any internal control deficiencies and lead to a decline in our stock price.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, as we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the review of the cash flow statement. The material weakness resulted in immaterial misstatements in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2023, the year ended September 30, 2023, the Q1, Q2, and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024, the Q1 interim period during fiscal year 2025, and in our supplemental cash flow disclosures for the year ended September 30, 2022, each interim and annual period during fiscal year 2023 and the Q1, Q2 and Q3 interim periods during fiscal year 2024. This material weakness has not been remediated as of March 31, 2025. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we identified an additional material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the preparation and review of account reconciliations. The material weakness resulted in immaterial misstatements in our consolidated interim financial statements for the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025. Either of these material weaknesses could result in material misstatements of our interim or annual consolidated financial statements and related supplemental disclosures that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management may be unable to conclude in future periods that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective due to the effects of various factors, which may, in part, include unremediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Our management has taken, and plans to take, actions to remediate the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting and will implement new processes, procedures and controls designed to address the underlying causes associated with each of these material weaknesses. While we expect to continue to implement our remediation plans throughout the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, we cannot be certain as to when the remediation of either of these material weaknesses will be fully completed. During the course of completing our remedial actions, we may identify areas requiring improvement and may be required to design additional enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through these processes. In addition, there can be no assurance that our remediation efforts will be successful, that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts or that any such future deficiencies identified may not be material weaknesses that would be required to be reported in future periods.

If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses or otherwise not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to rely on the integrity of our financial results or otherwise provide reliable financial statements, which could adversely affect our business decisions, result in inaccurate or late reporting of our financial results, as well as delays or the inability to meet our reporting obligations or to comply with SEC rules and regulations. Any of these could result in delisting actions by the Nasdaq Stock Market, investigation and sanctions by regulatory authorities, stockholder investigations and lawsuits, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, ability to obtain financing and the trading price of our common stock.
