Note 1 . Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business


In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Mesa Laboratories, Inc., a Colorado corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Mesa.”

We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of life sciences tools and critical quality control solutions for regulated applications in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical device industries. We offer products and services to help our customers ensure product integrity, increase patient and worker safety, and improve the quality of life throughout the world. We have manufacturing operations in the United States and Europe, and our products are marketed by our sales personnel in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region ("APAC"), and by independent distributors throughout the world.

As of December 31, 2025, we managed our operations in four reportable segments, or divisions:

Sterilization and Disinfection Control - manufactures and sells biological, chemical and cleaning indicators used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization, decontamination, disinfection and cleaning processes in the pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare industries. The division also provides testing and laboratory services, mainly to the dental and pharmaceutical industries.
Biopharmaceutical Development- develops, manufactures, sells and services automated systems for protein analysis (immunoassays) and peptide synthesis solutions. Immunoassays and peptide synthesis solutions accelerate the discovery, development and manufacture of biotherapeutic therapies, among other applications.
Calibration Solutions- develops, manufactures, sells and services quality control products using principles of advanced metrology to enable customers to measure and calibrate critical parameters in applications such as renal care, environmental and process monitoring, gas flow and torque testing.
--- ---

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of our financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Mesa and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have made no material changes to the application of significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in that report.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References in this report to a particular “year” or “quarter” refer to our fiscal year or fiscal quarters, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts shown in this report are in thousands.

Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressures, the overall effects of economic uncertainty, regulatory changes, and other factors. Changes in, and the resulting effects of, potential government trade, stimulus or fiscal and monetary policies, interest rates, foreign currency values, supply chains, demand for goods and services, global or regional recession, or other circumstances cannot be reliably predicted. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factorsin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded that, other than as described below, they are not applicable to us or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have not adopted any new accounting standards in fiscal year 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In  December 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of annual income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after  December 15, 2024 (our fiscal year 2026), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. Other than presentation of additional disaggregated information related to the jurisdictions in which we pay income taxes and income tax rate reconciliations in our annual income tax footnote disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2026 (*our fiscal year 2028 for annual periods) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2027 (*our fiscal year 2029 for interim periods), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures; we expect to disclose additional detail regarding the nature and classification of certain categories of expense once adopted.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326): Improvements to the Measurement of Credit Losses for Receivables and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 introduces a practical expedient that removes the requirement to incorporate macroeconomic forecasts into the estimation of expected credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Prospective adoption is required, and early adoption is permitted. We intend to early adopt ASU 2025-05 for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026, including interim periods. Upon adoption, we plan to elect the practical expedient allowing us to assume conditions at the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset. We do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes accounting for costs incurred in the development of internal-use software by eliminating the requirement to evaluate distinct development stages. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2025-06 permits prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's annual reporting period. We intend to early adopt ASU 2025-06 prospectively for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026, including interim periods. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Note 2. Revenue

We develop, manufacture, market, sell and maintain life sciences tools and quality control instruments and related consumables.

Hardware sales include physical products such as instruments used for molecular and genetic analysis, protein synthesizers, medical meters, wireless sensor systems, data loggers, and process challenge devices. Hardware sales  maybe offered with accompanying perpetual or annual software licenses, which in some cases are required for the hardware to function.

Consumables sold by our Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions, such as reagents used for molecular and genetic analysis or solutions used for protein synthesis, are critical to the ongoing use of our instruments. Consumables such as biological and chemical indicator test strips sold by our Sterilization and Disinfection Control division are used on a standalone basis.

Revenues from hardware and consumables are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. Control of hardware and consumables sold in the U.S. and Asia Pacific typically transfers at the point of shipment, whereas control of products sold in Europe more typically occurs upon delivery to the customer site.

We also offer maintenance, calibration and testing services. Services result in revenues recognized either over time, for example, when we are contractually obligated to perform labor and replace parts on an as-needed basis throughout a specified service period, or at a point in time, upon completion of a specific, discrete service.

We disclose revenues consistently with how management evaluates the business, i.e., based on business unit and the nature of goods and services provided.

The following tables present disaggregated revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively:

Contract Liabilities

Our contracts have varying payment terms and conditions. Some customers prepay for products and services, resulting in contract liabilities recorded as unearned revenues or within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The significant majority of our revenues, related receivables and contract liabilities arise from contracts with original durations of twelve months or less. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as we satisfy our obligations under the terms of the contracts.

A summary of contract liabilities is as follows:

Contract liabilities as of March 31, 2025 $ 14,803
Prior year liabilities recognized in revenues during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 (9,366 )
Contract liabilities added during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, net of revenues recognized 9,132
Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025 $ 14,569

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, obligations under trade accounts payable, and debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate fair value and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amounts of our term loan and revolving line of credit (together, the "Credit Facility") approximate fair value due to variable interest rate pricing, with the balances bearing interest rates approximating current market rates.

There were no nonrecurring fair value adjustments or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025.

The financial instruments that subject us to the highest concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. We maintain relationships and cash deposits at multiple banking institutions across the world in an effort to diversify and reduce risk of loss. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to customers to whom we make significant sales. No customers accounted for more than 10% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2025.

Note 6 . Indebtedness

Credit Facility

Our secured credit agreement matures in April 2029 and includes:

(i) A revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000 (the "Revolver"),
(ii) A term loan with a maximum principal amount of $75,000, which is subject to escalating quarterly principal payments (the "Term Loan"),
(iii) A swingline loan with an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $5,000, and
(iv) Letters of credit with an aggregate stated amount not exceeding $2,500 at any time.

We refer to the agreement in whole as the “Credit Facility.”

On  April 5, 2024, we borrowed $75,000 under the Credit Facility's Term Loan to fund privately negotiated repurchases of a portion of our convertible notes ("the Notes"). On  August 12, 2025, we borrowed $97,000 under the Revolver to fund the cash settlement of the remaining Notes, which matured on *August 15, 2025 (*see "Convertible Notes" below).

Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at a SOFR rate or a base rate, plus an applicable spread that varies with our total net leverage ratio. On October 10, 2025 we amended the Credit Facility to reduce the range of the spread from 1.5% - 3.0% to 1.25% - 2.50%.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.2% as of  December 31, 2025 and 7.2% as of March 31, 2025.

The financial covenants in the Credit Facility include a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 on each of the testing dates between March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026and 3.5 to 1.0 on each testing date thereafter. The Credit Facility also stipulates a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0. Other covenants include restrictions on our ability to incur debt, grant liens, make fundamental changes to our business as defined in the contract, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or conduct asset sales. As of  December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.

Term Loan

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, we made required quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan of $938 and $2,813, respectively.

We are required to make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan. For the fiscal years ending March 31, future debt payments on the Term Loan are required as follows:

Fiscal Year Amount
Remainder of 2026 $ 938
2027 5,625
2028 5,625
2029 7,500
2030 48,750
Total principal remaining $ 68,438

A reconciliation of the carrying amount of the Term Loan to principal outstanding was as follows:

December 31, 2025 March 31, 2025
Current portion $ 5,156 $ 3,750
Noncurrent portion 62,721 66,902
Debt issuance costs 561 598

Revolver

As of  December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance under the Revolver was $98,250 and $26,750 remained available to be borrowed. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, we repaid an additional $4,000 on the Revolver.

We are obligated to pay quarterly unused commitment fees of between 0.20% and 0.35% of the Revolver’s aggregate principal amount, based on our leverage ratio.

The balance of unamortized customary lender fees related to the Revolver was $1,103 and $1,203 as of  December 31, 2025 and  *March 31, 2025,*respectively.

Convert ible Notes

On August 15, 2025, our outstanding 1.375% convertible notes (the "Notes") matured. We settled the aggregate principal balance of $97,500 as well as $670 of accrued interest in cash by drawing $97,000 under our Revolver and using $1,170 of cash on hand.

Interest expense recognized in connection with the Notes during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, was as follows:

Note 7. Stockholders' Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

On August 22, 2025, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Mesa Laboratories Inc. 2021 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Equity Plan"), increasing the number of shares authorized for issuance from 660 shares to 1,156 shares, an increase of 496 shares.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we issued time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative, and research and development expense in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following is a summary of RSU and PSU award activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2025:

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Nonvested as of March 31, 2025 145 $ 106.54 85 $ 166.31
Awards granted^(1)^ 108 90.87 44 99.56

Awards distributed (65 ) 117.08 (16 ) 265.32
Nonvested as of December 31, 2025 177 $ 93.65 113 $ 126.12
^(1)^ Balances for PSUs granted are reflected at target.
--- ---

Time-based RSUs vest and settle in shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The significant majority of RSUs granted to employees during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 vest in equal installments on June 15, 2026, June 13, 2027 and June 13, 2028. RSUs granted to non-employee directors during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 vest one year from the grant date. We generally recognize expense relating to RSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For time-based RSUs granted to participants who qualify as retirement-eligible under the 2021 Equity Plan, we recognize expense either upon grant or over a shortened service period, depending on the retirement notification requirements applicable to participants.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a grant of 44 PSUs at target (the "FY26 PSUs") to eligible employees. The FY26 PSUs are subject to market-based performance conditions and service conditions. The market performance measurement period and service period is from June 15, 2025 through June 15, 2028. The number of shares that will be earned is based on market performance and will range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares. If defined minimum targets are not met, no shares will vest.

As of December 31, 2025, there were 133 shares subject to options outstanding, with a weighted average exercise price per share of $191.04, an intrinsic value of $0 and a remaining contractual life of 2.3 years. Our Compensation Committee has not granted options to any plan participants in the current or prior fiscal year.

Note 8 . **** Earnings (Loss) Per Share


The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"):

Three Months Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Net income (loss) available for shareholders $ 3,630 $ (1,676 ) $ 10,848 $ 5,140
Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock^(1)^ 5,532 5,429 5,504 5,413
Dilutive effect of RSUs 33 - 48 51
Fully diluted shares 5,565 5,429 5,552 5,464
Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.66 $ (0.31 ) $ 1.97 $ 0.95
Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.65 $ (0.31 ) $ 1.95 $ 0.94

^(1)^Weighted average outstanding shares includes awards that have not yet vested and are not yet legally outstanding, but for which all vesting criteria other than the passage of time have been satisfied. For example, this includes RSUs granted to retirement-eligible employees that are not subject to continued service requirements but have not yet vested.

Page 12

Table of Contents

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS:

Three Months Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Assumed conversion of the Notes - 344 171 354
Stock awards that were anti-dilutive 228 406 228 202
Total stock awards excluded from diluted EPS 228 750 399 556

Potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested time and performance based RSUs (collectively "stock awards"). Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS if their inclusion would be antidilutive, or if achievement of performance-based thresholds as of our reporting date would not result in the awards vesting. Shares underlying the Notes were also potentially dilutive until maturity on August 15, 2025; however, these shares have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the amount of time they remained outstanding during three and nine months ended December 31, 2025and 2024, as assumed conversion under the if-converted method was antidilutive in each period.

Note 9 . Income Taxes

We reported an income tax provision as follows:

Three Months Ended December 31, Nine Months Ended December 31,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Income tax (benefit) expense $ 966 $ (541 ) $ 2,759 $ 360
Effective tax rate 21.0 % 24.4 % 20.3 % 6.5 %

For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply this effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income. Each quarter, our estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. Additionally, the tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized as discrete items in the interim period in which the events occur. There is a potential for volatility in the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, settlement with taxing authorities, and foreign currency fluctuations.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025 approximated the federal statutory rate of 21%; the effective rate was impacted by the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, offset by the foreign differential rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% due to the impact of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, partially offset by the foreign rate differential.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) introduced several changes to U.S. tax legislation, with certain provisions becoming applicable to us in fiscal year 2026. These changes include the immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, accelerated tax deductions for qualified property, and modifications to certain international tax frameworks. We have incorporated the applicable provisions of OBBBA into our income tax provision as of December 31, 2025, resulting in a reduction of U.S. current tax expense. We are continuing to evaluate the impacts of the legislation on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the annual period.

Note 10 . **** Commitments and Contingencies

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. As of  December 31, 2025, we are not party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 11 . **** S egment Information

Segment information is prepared on the same basis our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our CEO, uses to assess segment performance, allocate resources, evaluate financial results, and make key operating decisions. Our four reportable segments are organized primarily by the nature of the goods and services they sell. Our CODM regularly reviews segment-level U.S. GAAP revenues and gross profit relative to forecasted and prior period amounts, as well as non-GAAP adjusted operating expense compared to budgeted amounts. Our CODM also regularly reviews non-GAAP organic revenues growth to support strategic planning and resource deployment.

Organic Revenues Growth

Organic revenues growth is driven by expansion of our customer base, increases in sales volumes, new product offerings and price increases, and may be affected positively or negatively by the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our reported revenues. Our ability to increase organic revenues is affected by general economic conditions, both domestic and international, customer capital spending trends, competition, currency exchange rates, and the introduction of new products. Our policy is to price our products and services competitively and, where possible, we pass along cost increases to our customers in order to maintain our margins. We typically evaluate costs and pricing annually, with price increases effective January 1. We evaluate the need to increase prices at other times of the year in response to significant facts and circumstances that may arise, such as increases in the price of inputs to our products, or in response to changes in government or regulatory policies, for example, due to the imposition of tariffs.

Inorganic Growth - Acquisitions

Over the past decade, we have consummated a number of acquisitions of businesses, technologies, and intangibles such as customer lists as part of our growth strategy. Our acquisitions have allowed us to expand our product offerings and the industries we serve, globalize our company, and increase the scale at which we operate. In turn, this growth affords us the ability to improve our operating efficiency, extend our customer base, and further the pursuit of our purpose: Protecting the Vulnerable®.

Improving Our Operating Efficiency

Our ongoing goal is to maximize value in our businesses by implementing efficiencies in our manufacturing, commercial, engineering and administrative operations. We achieve efficiencies using the Mesa Way, our customer-centric, lean-based system for continuous improvement. The Mesa Way is built on four key pillars: "Measuring What Matters" based on our customers' perspectives and setting high standards of performance; "Empowering Teams" to improve operationally and to exceed customer expectations; "Sustainably Improving" using lean-based tools designed to help us identify and prioritize the best opportunities; and "Always Learning" to continuously build knowledge and capabilities to drive long-term performance.

Our gross profit is affected by many factors, including the mix of products and services sold and the geographical regions in which we sell them, labor and product costs (including costs of transporting, importing and exporting goods, as well as associated tariffs), manufacturing efficiencies, foreign currency rates and price competition. Historically, as we have integrated acquisitions into our business and taken advantage of manufacturing efficiencies, our gross profit percentages for some products have improved. There are, however, differences in gross profit percentages between product lines, and ultimately our mix of revenues will continue to impact our overall gross profit.

We continuously pursue opportunities to improve the efficiency of our administrative functions, including through increasing usage of process automation and artificial intelligence.

Hire, Develop, and Retain Top Talent

At the center of our organization are talented people who are capable of taking on new challenges using a team-based approach. Indeed, it is our exceptionally talented workforce that collaborates to find ways to continuously and sustainably improve our products, our services, and ourselves, resulting in long-term value creation for our stakeholders.

General Trends

As a global company, our geographic and industry diversity presents both opportunities and challenges, including those associated with pursuing expansion opportunities in high-growth markets, operating in varied economic environments, complying with evolving regulatory requirements such as tariffs, navigating global labor trends and costs, adapting to technology changes in served markets, and monitoring foreign currency impacts against the U.S. dollar ("USD"). During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, approximately 53% of our revenues were earned outside of the United States.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, revenues grew 3.7% versus the comparable prior year period, driven by growth in our Biopharmaceutical Development, Sterilization and Disinfection Control, and Calibration Solutions divisions. Our Clinical Genomics division continued to experience revenue declines due to trade tensions and unfavorable macroeconomic conditions in China, which have weakened demand for our Clinical Genomics products and services in that region. We expect that challenges in China will persist through the end of fiscal year 2026 and will most likely continue into fiscal year 2027. Despite challenges in China, Clinical Genomics has continued to execute its product development and commercial strategy successfully in the Americas and Europe, and our cost savings initiatives and geographic mix have resulted in improved gross profit percentages during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods.

Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was largely consistent with the comparable prior year period. The weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the comparable prior year period and the impact of tariffs reduced consolidated year-to-date gross profit as a percentage of revenues by approximately 0.8 percentage points, with a particularly pronounced effect on our Biopharmaceutical Development and Sterilization and Disinfection Control divisions. The decreases were partially offset by GKE-related inventory step-up amortization expense that reduced margins in the prior year period, and in the current year period, cost‑savings initiatives implemented in the prior quarter and favorable geographic revenues mix within the Clinical Genomics division resulted in higher reported margins.

Operating expenses increased 2.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period, but decreased slightly as a percentage of revenues. The increase in operating expenses was largely driven by (i) higher allowances on accounts receivable, particularly in China, and (ii) higher personnel expense, including increased stock-based compensation from performance-based awards, and severance expense related primarily to Clinical Genomics. The increase was partially offset by lower professional services and consulting fees as the comparable prior year period included GKE integration costs. In addition, the weaker U.S. dollar versus the comparable prior year period caused expenses denominated in foreign currencies to translate into higher reported U.S. dollar amounts in our financial statements.

Reportable Segments

Sterilization and Disinfection Control

Our Sterilization and Disinfection Control division manufactures and sells biological, chemical and cleaning indicators used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization, decontamination, disinfection and cleaning processes in the pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare industries. The division also provides testing and laboratory services, mainly to the dental and pharmaceutical industries. Sterilization and Disinfection Control products are disposable and are used on a routine basis.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Revenues $ 24,914 $ 23,507 6.0 % $ 72,431 $ 68,669 5.5 %
Gross profit 17,311 16,461 5.2 % 50,347 47,191 6.7 %
Gross profit as a % of revenues 69.5 % 70.0 % (0.5 pt) 69.5 % 68.7 % 0.8 pt

Revenues for the Sterilization and Disinfection Control division increased 6.0% and 5.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods. The increases were primarily attributable to the weakening of the USD, higher sales volumes and price increases during fiscal 2026. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, revenues would have increased approximately 2.4% and 2.3% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The Sterilization and Disinfection Control division’s backlog modestly decreased sequentially in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 as order fulfillments returned to normal levels.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly for the three months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to the impact of the weaker USD, partially offset by higher revenues on a partially fixed cost base. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased by 0.8 percentage points for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period, primarily due to the impact of inventory step-up amortization related to the GKE acquisition in the prior year, partially offset by the weakening USD. Excluding the impact of prior year inventory step-up amortization and foreign currency translation, gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 would have been largely consistent with the comparable prior year periods.

Biopharmaceutical Development

Our Biopharmaceutical Development division develops, manufactures, sells and services automated systems for protein analysis (immunoassays) and peptide synthesis solutions. Immunoassays and peptide synthesis solutions accelerate the discovery, development and manufacture of biotherapeutic therapies, among other applications.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Revenues $ 14,373 $ 12,237 17.5 % $ 39,779 $ 36,112 10.2 %
Gross profit 8,920 7,539 18.3 % 23,355 22,665 3.0 %
Gross profit as a % of revenues 62.1 % 61.6 % 0.5 pt 58.7 % 62.8 % (4.1 pt)

Revenues for the Biopharmaceutical Development division increased 17.5% and 10.2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods. Increases in revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were primarily driven by increased peptides and immunoassays hardware sales volumes, along with the weakening of the USD. Increases in revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 were primarily driven by higher sales volumes of peptides instruments and immunoassays consumables and services, as well as the weakening of the USD.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the Biopharmaceutical Development division increased 0.5 percentage points for the three months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues on a partially fixed cost base, partially offset by the impacts of foreign currency translation and tariffs.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the Biopharmaceutical Development division decreased 4.1 percentage points for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the impacts of foreign currency translation and tariffs. Unfavorable product mix also contributed to the decline, as higher-margin immunoassays revenues represented a smaller share of total revenues, while hardware represented a larger share.

Excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation and tariffs, gross profit as a percentage of revenues would have increased by approximately 3.2 percentage points and decreased by approximately 1.7 percentage points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, versus the comparable prior year periods.

Calibration Solutions

The Calibration Solutions division develops, manufactures, sells and services quality control products using principles of advanced metrology to enable customers to measure and calibrate critical parameters in applications such as renal care, environmental and process monitoring, gas flow and torque testing.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Revenues $ 14,072 $ 14,429 (2.5 %) $ 39,992 $ 38,492 3.9 %
Gross profit 8,450 8,806 (4.0 %) 23,727 23,258 2.0 %
Gross profit as a % of revenues 60.0 % 61.0 % (1.0 pt) 59.3 % 60.4 % (1.1 pt)

Revenues for the Calibration Solutions division decreased 2.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to particularly strong commercial activity in our renal care product lines in the prior year period. Revenues for the Calibration Solutions division increased 3.9% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period, primarily driven by ongoing commercial efforts to establish and renew contracts that incentivize utilization of our service offerings, and to a lesser extent, by price increases.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased by 1.0 and 1.1 percentage points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period, primarily due to unfavorable product mix and increased personnel-related costs that we expect will support future growth.

Clinical Genomics

The Clinical Genomics division develops, manufactures and sells highly sensitive high-throughput genetic analysis tools and related consumables and services that enable clinical research labs and contract research organizations to perform genomic testing for a broad range of research applications in several therapeutic areas, such as screenings for hereditary diseases, pharmacogenetics, oncology related applications and toxicology research.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Revenues $ 11,767 $ 12,667 (7.1 %) $ 33,204 $ 35,570 (6.7 %)
Gross profit 7,114 6,948 2.4 % 18,636 19,344 (3.7 %)
Gross profit as a % of revenues 60.5 % 54.9 % 5.6 pt 56.1 % 54.4 % 1.7 pt

Revenues for the Clinical Genomics division declined 7.1% and 6.7% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, versus the comparable prior year periods. The decreases were driven primarily by lower sales to customers in China, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainty and heightened trade tensions. Excluding sales to China, revenues increased 2.4% and 8.4% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods.

Clinical Genomics’ gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased 5.6 percentage points and 1.7 percentage points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods, despite lower revenues. The increases in gross profit as a percentage of revenues were primarily attributable to manufacturing and supply chain efficiency improvements, lower personnel-related costs attributable to our cost mitigation efforts in the prior quarter, and favorable geographic product mix, as sales outside of China typically generate higher margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was also positively impacted by product mix, as higher-margin consumables represented a greater portion of the division's total revenues.

Operating Expense

Operating expense was flat for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and increased 2.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, versus the comparable prior year periods. Operating expense as a percentage of revenues decreased 2.2 percentage points and 0.5 percentage points for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, versus the comparable prior year periods. Among other factors, reported selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses increased due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and Swedish krona for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods.

Selling Expense

Selling expense is driven primarily by labor costs, including salaries and commissions; accordingly, it may vary with sales levels.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Selling expense $ 9,986 $ 10,450 (4.4 %) $ 30,715 $ 30,415 1.0 %
As a percentage of revenues 15.3 % 16.6 % (1.3 pt) 16.6 % 17.0 % (0.4 pt)

Selling expense decreased 4.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period, primarily due to lower expenditures on certain outside services as we began to transition more of our commercial selling efforts in-house. Selling expense increased 1.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period primarily due to severance costs, investments in certain professional services to support lead-generation and marketing, and higher commissions expense.

General and Administrative Expense

Labor costs, amortization of intangible assets, and non-cash stock-based compensation drive the substantial majority of our general and administrative expense.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
General and administrative expense $ 18,805 $ 18,472 1.8 % $ 54,526 $ 52,754 3.4 %
As a percentage of revenues 28.9 % 29.4 % (0.5 pt) 29.4 % 29.5 % (0.1 pt)

General and administrative expense increased 1.8% and 3.4%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods. The increases were primarily attributable to higher expense related to estimated uncollectible accounts receivable related to customers in China. Higher personnel costs, including higher non-cash stock-based compensation resulting from an adjustment to performance-based awards to reflect achievement against targets through December 31, 2025, also contributed to the increase. The increases were partially offset by lower consulting and professional services expenses, as the prior year periods included consulting costs associated with integrating GKE into our enterprise resource planning system.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense is predominantly comprised of labor costs and costs of third-party consultants.

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Research and development expense $ 5,029 $ 5,053 (0.5 %) $ 15,061 $ 14,422 4.4 %
As a percentage of revenues 7.7 % 8.0 % (0.3 pt) 8.1 % 8.1 % - pt

Research and development expenses were flat for the three months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period, as decreased salaries expense was offset by the impact of foreign currency translation and higher benefits-related costs. Research and development expense increased approximately 4.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to purchases of supplies and consulting services to support project-specific research and development activities, as well as severance costs, particularly within our Clinical Genomics division.

Non-Operating Expense (Income), Net

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs $ 3,036 $ 2,842 6.8 % $ 8,096 $ 9,340 (13.3 %)
(Gain) on extinguishment of convertible notes - - N/A - (2,887 ) (100.0 %)
Other expense (income), net 343 5,154 (93.3 %) (5,940 ) 2,914 (303.8 %)
Total non-operating expense, net $ 3,379 $ 7,996 (57.7 %) $ 2,156 $ 9,367 (77.0 %)

Interest expense increased for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the higher interest rate on our Credit Facility relative to the rate on the Notes, which we repaid using $97.0 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility’s Revolver in the prior quarter, partially offset by a decrease in total debt outstanding. We expect interest expense to remain higher for the remainder of fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025 as a result of the higher Credit Facility rate compared to the rate previously incurred on the Notes. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, interest expense decreased compared to the prior year period due to lower weighted‑average levels of outstanding interest‑bearing debt and a reduction in interest rates applicable to our floating‑rate debt, partially offset by the higher rate on the Credit Facility compared to the Notes.

Other expense (income), net primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. In particular, during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized unrealized foreign currency gains of approximately $5.8 million related to an intercompany U.S. dollar-denominated loan issued in fiscal year 2024 to one of our wholly owned, euro-denominated subsidiaries.

The $2.9 million gain on extinguishment of the Notes reported in the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 was a result of the partial repurchase of the Notes during that period. No gain or loss was recognized upon final settlement of the Notes during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as the Notes had reached maturity and were settled in cash at the contractual principal amount.

Income Taxes

Three Months Ended December 31, **** Nine Months Ended December 31, ****
amounts in thousands, except percent data 2025 2024 Total Change 2025 2024 Total Change
Income tax (benefit) expense $ 966 $ (541 ) (278.6 %) $ 2,759 $ 360 666.4 %
Effective tax rate 21.0 % 24.4 % (3.4 pt) 20.3 % 6.5 % 13.7 pt

Our effective income tax rate was 21.0% and 20.3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 21, 2025 compared to 24.4% and 6.5% for the comparable prior year periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025 approximated the federal statutory rate of 21%, but was impacted by the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, offset by the foreign differential rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% due to the impact of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, partially offset by the foreign rate differential.

The change in the effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year periods was primarily due to prior year valuation allowance adjustments related to our operations in Germany and an increase in German statutory taxes in the current fiscal year.

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as changes in tax laws including OBBBA, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof, and the geographic composition of our pre-tax income. We carefully monitor these factors and adjust our effective income tax rate accordingly.

Net Income

Net income varies with changes in revenues, gross profit, operating expense, and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Net income included $13.5 million, $11.1 million and $4.0 million of non-cash amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and depreciation expense, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and cash available from borrowings under our Credit Facility. We believe these sources are sufficient to meet our ongoing operating needs, scheduled debt service obligations, dividend payments and anticipated capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, we held $29.0 million and $27.3 million of cash, respectively.

Historically, our more significant uses of cash have included acquisitions, payments on debt principal and interest obligations, and quarterly dividends paid to shareholders.

Working capital, defined as the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities, was $51.2 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to negative working capital of $(61.3) million as of March 31, 2025. The prior period's negative working capital was due to the classification of $97.5 million in principal related to our Notes as a current liability. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we settled the Notes using a draw of $97.0 million on the Revolver. The Revolver allows us to borrow up to $125.0 million, and $98.3 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Subsequent to quarter end, we repaid $4.0 million on the Revolver.

On October 10, 2025 we amended our Credit Facility to reduce the applicable interest rate spread above the SOFR base rate from 1.5%-3.5% to 1.25%-2.5%, which we expect will reduce interest expense by approximately $0.4 million per year at current debt balances. We expect to incur approximately $10.2 million in cash interest expense over the next twelve months based on outstanding debt levels and the rate in effect as of December 31, 2025. Required principal debt payments due on our Term Loan within the next twelve months total $5.2 million.

We routinely evaluate opportunities for strategic acquisitions. Future material acquisitions may require us to obtain additional capital, assume third-party debt or incur other long-term obligations. We believe that we have the ability to issue more equity or debt in the future in order to finance our acquisition and investment activities; however, additional equity or debt financing, or other transactions, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Dividends

We have paid regular quarterly dividends since 2003. We paid dividends of $0.16 per share during the three months ended December 31, 2025, as well as each quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025.

In January 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock, payable on March 16, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2026.

Goodwill Impairment Testing

We perform qualitative analyses at least quarterly to identify potential indicators of impairment and to assess whether it is more likely than not that any of our five goodwill reporting units (Sterilization and Disinfection Control, Immunoassays (BPD), Peptides (BPD), Calibration Solutions, and Clinical Genomics) are impaired. As of December 31, 2025, we concluded that there were no indicators of impairment for any of our reporting units. However, our Clinical Genomics reporting unit remains particularly sensitive to significant changes in key valuation assumptions, and therefore carries a heightened risk of future impairment losses. The valuation of our reporting units for impairment testing purposes requires significant management judgment and the use of unobservable Level 3 inputs, including discount rates, forecasted results for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue growth rates, operating expense projections, the identification of comparable public entities, and applied market multiples.

We continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic challenges and demand for our Clinical Genomics products and services in China. Depending on the persistence and magnitude of adverse factors, it is reasonably possible our Clinical Genomics reporting unit could incur impairment losses in the future. As of our most recent annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the estimated fair value of the Clinical Genomics reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 40%. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying values of goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets associated with our Clinical Genomics reporting unit were $17.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

Cash Flows

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:

Nine Months Ended December 31,
amounts in thousands 2025 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 28,869 $ 34,143
Net cash (used in) investing activities (2,833 ) (3,492 )
Net cash (used in) financing activities (26,095 ) (28,316 )

Cash flows from operating activities provided $28.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $5.3 million versus the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily a result of:

higher cash payments in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 to settle accrued bonuses and commissions from the end of fiscal year 2025; and
increased inventory purchases, including for finished goods warehoused in international locations as part of our tariff mitigation strategy.

These uses of cash were partially offset by the timing and magnitude of cash paid for taxes and higher collections on accounts receivable, driven by increased revenues.

Cash used in investing activities decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the comparable prior year period as we invested in property, plant and equipment for our new leased facility in Sweden in the prior year. Cash used in financing activities resulted in a $26.1 million use of cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. We borrowed:

$10.5 million under the Revolver, largely to fund a $9.6 million payment of the GKE acquisition-related holdback; and
$97.0 million under the Revolver, to settle the Notes upon maturity in August 2025.

We repaid:

$97.5 million to settle the Notes;
$19.3 million under the Revolver; and
$2.8 million under the Term Loan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the new accounting standards impacting the Company, refer to Note 1. “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item I. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

We are party to contractual obligations that involve commitments to remit payments to third parties in the ordinary course of business. On a consolidated basis, as of December 31, 2025, we had contractual obligations for open purchase orders of approximately $11.9 million for routine purchases of supplies and inventory, of which the substantial majority are payable in less than one year.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for information related to future required debt and other payments. For a description of our contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of March 31, 2025, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting estimates are those that we consider both significant to the preparation of our financial statements and that require complex, subjective, or highly judgmental assessments. These estimates often involve assumptions about inherently uncertain matters and are based on our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we incorporate expert input when developing estimates used in the valuation of reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. The accounting estimates that require significant management judgment and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. While we believe our estimates, assumptions and judgements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we present organic revenues growth, defined as reported revenues growth excluding revenues from recent acquisitions, as a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this measure facilitates comparability between current and prior period information and provides insight into our short-term and long-term performance and growth trends. We use organic revenues growth internally for forecasting, evaluating operating performance, comparing current and historical revenue results, and informing financial and operating decision-making, including for compensation-setting purposes.

A reconciliation of organic revenues growth to total revenues growth is as follows:

Total Revenues Growth Impact of Acquisitions Organic Revenues Growth (non-GAAP)
