6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an impairment assessment annually on April 1, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company determined that a sustained decline in its stock price was an indicator of potential impairment and performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for its reporting units as of June 30, 2025.

Based on the results of the interim quantitative impairment test performed as of June 30, 2025, the fair values of the Sample Management Solutions (“SMS”) and Multiomics reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts. The Company concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill for the SMS and Multiomics reporting units as of June 30, 2025. The estimated fair value of each of the reporting units was derived based on the income approach and the market approach which were weighted at 75% and 25%, respectively, as of June 30, 2025. The 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 SMS and Multiomics reporting units. The guideline company method was used in the market approach and publicly traded companies in similar lines of business were identified and used in an analysis to estimate the fair value.

Prior to the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company tested the recoverability of long-lived assets and other assets of the SMS and Multiomics reporting units and concluded that such assets were not impaired as of June 30, 2025.
