Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 14.8% in Q2 and 12.7% YTD compared to the prior year. Growth was driven by the Chromatography and Analytics franchises. The prior year periods included $8.2 million (Q2) and $11.5 million (YTD) of COVID-19 related sales.
• Acquisition Impact: The 908 Devices PAT Portfolio acquisition (closed March 2025) contributed $2.9 million in Q2 revenue. The Tantti Laboratory Inc. acquisition (closed Dec 2024) also contributed to R&D and SG&A increases.
• Profitability: Net income more than doubled in Q2 ($14.9M vs $5.7M) and YTD ($20.7M vs $9.0M). This was significantly aided by a $7.9 million gain from the change in fair value of contingent consideration (earnouts), which reduced operating expenses.
• Margin Pressure: Gross margin decreased slightly in Q2 (50.0% vs 51.3%) due to product mix, specifically higher sales of procured resin with nominal mark-ups. YTD margin improved to 51.7% due to reduced material consumption and lower scrap costs.
• Expense Increases: R&D expenses rose 32% in Q2 and SG&A rose 8.8%, primarily due to incremental costs from recent acquisitions and professional fees for integration.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects operating expenses to increase for the remainder of the fiscal year as the company expands its bioprocessing business and integrates acquisitions. The company believes current cash balances are adequate for at least the next 24 months absent major acquisitions or debt conversions.
• Internal Controls: The company disclosed that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to unremediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. These weaknesses relate to revenue recognition, IT general controls (access and change management), and inventory valuation controls. A remediation plan is underway.
• Convertible Notes: The 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 ($600M principal) are not currently convertible at the option of holders as the stock price did not meet the 130% threshold for the required trading days in Q2.
• Tax Legislation: The company is evaluating the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) enacted July 4, 2025, but does not currently expect a material impact.
• Risks: Key risks include the ability to integrate acquired businesses, foreign currency fluctuations, supply chain inflation, and the successful remediation of internal control weaknesses.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Internal Control Remediation: Verify the progress of the remediation plan for material weaknesses in revenue recognition and IT controls, as these remain unremediated.
• Acquisition Integration: Monitor the financial contribution and integration costs of the 908 Devices and Tantti acquisitions to ensure projected synergies are realized.
• Contingent Consideration: Track the fair value adjustments of earnout liabilities (Tantti and Avitide), as these significantly impacted Q2 earnings ($7.9M gain) and may be volatile.
• Product Mix Margins: Assess the impact of low-margin procured resin sales on overall gross margin trends.
• Convertible Debt Status: Monitor stock price performance relative to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes to assess potential future dilution or cash redemption needs.
