Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved in environmental remediation and monitoring activities at its Randolph, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and accrues for related costs, including legal costs, when such costs are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company currently utilizes a pump and treat remediation strategy, which includes semi-annual monitoring and reporting, consulting, and maintenance of monitoring wells. We expense these annual costs of remediation, which have ranged from approximately $38 to $131 per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated remaining liability for these costs was $916 at both May 31, 2025 and 2024, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years. In fiscal 2019, the Company performed an updated Corrective Measures Study on the site, per a request from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ("WDNR"), and is currently working with the WDNR regarding potential alternative remediation strategies going forward. The Company believes that the current pump and treat strategy is appropriate for the site. In fiscal 2022, in collaboration with the WDNR, the Company initiated an in-situ chemical remediation pilot study, which ran over a two-year period. The results of this study were submitted to the WDNR as part of our standard annual report. If the WDNR were to require a change from the current pump and treat remediation strategy, this change could result in an increase in future costs and, ultimately, an increase in the currently recorded liability, with an offsetting charge to operations in the period recorded. The Company has recorded $100 in other current liabilities, and the remaining $816 is recorded in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2025 and 2024. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded a gain related to a settlement regarding the Company's prior acquisition of certain fixed assets. The amount of $2,700 was received in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. This amount was partially offset by a related fixed asset impairment of $2,055, which was due to the asset no longer being in use. The amount was recorded within General and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations within the Company's Food Safety operating segment. Related to the Company's other contingent liabilities, a loss of $1,400 was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. This contingency loss was driven by an updated valuation of the performance milestone liability for the Company's CAPInnoVet, Inc. transaction. Finally, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company reversed a liability of $930 related to a contingent liability that was recorded as part of the Corvium, Inc. transaction. The final milestone payment was not achieved, resulting in a full reversal of the liability. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company received $1,265 of business interruption insurance proceeds relating to fire damage that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 at one of our genomics lab facilities. The proceeds were recorded within Cost of Revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company previously disclosed an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regarding activities or transactions involving parties located in Iran. In fiscal year 2020, the Company recorded a charge to other (expense) income and recorded a reserve of $600 to provide for potential fines or penalties on this matter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company received a Cautionary Letter from OFAC concluding its investigation without civil monetary penalty or other enforcement action. As the investigation is effectively resolved, the Company reversed a $600 accrual in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company has agreements with unrelated third parties that provide for the payment of royalties on the sale of certain products. Royalty expense, recorded in sales and marketing, under the terms of these agreements was $1,605, $3,250 and $3,392 for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Some of these agreements provide for guaranteed minimum royalty payments to be paid each fiscal year by the Company for certain technologies. Future minimum royalty payments are as follows: 2026—$329, 2027—$349, 2028—$562, 2029—$60, and 2030—$57. The Company is subject to certain legal and other proceedings that, in the opinion of management, are not expected to have a material effect on its financial statements.
