Management Comments

"We delivered another solid quarter with above market growth, that together with the disciplined execution of our transformation initiatives, contributed to meaningful margin expansion and increased profitability," said Steve Schwartz, President and CEO. "We are delivering not only to outsized growth, but also the operational transformation that will enable long-term scale, efficiency, and profitability for Azenta."

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

Revenue was $173 million, up 4% year over year. Organic revenue, which excludes the impacts from foreign exchange, was up 5% year over year. The year-over-year revenue increase was attributable to higher Sample Management Solutions and B Medical Systems ("B Medical") revenues. The combined Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics business segments grew 4% on an organic basis.
Sample Management Solutions revenue was $81 million, up 7% year over year.
- Organic revenue also grew 7%, mainly driven by higher revenues in Sample Repository Solutions and Core Products, particularly in Large-automated and Cryogenic Stores and in Consumables and Instruments.
Multiomics revenue was $64 million, flat year over year.
- Organic revenue grew 1% year over year, primarily driven by growth in Gene Synthesis and Next Generation Sequencing services, offset by a year-over-year decline in Sanger sequencing revenue.
B Medical Systems revenue was $29 million, up 7% year over year.
- Organic revenue grew 8% year over year. The better-than-forecasted revenue in the quarter was mainly due to additional cold chain solutions orders received during the period.

Summary of GAAP Earnings Results

Operating loss was $15 million. Operating margin was (8.5%), up 100 basis points year over year.
- Gross margin was 40.0%, compared to 41.0% in the third quarter 2023, driven by higher amortization expense and transformation costs in the current period as well as purchase accounting impacts to inventory in the prior year period which did not reoccur, partially offset by higher revenue and operational efficiencies.
- Operating expenses were $84 million, flat year over year, driven by lower research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, offset by increased restructuring and transformation charges related to the Company's cost reduction initiatives, in addition to a benefit of $1.4 million of fair value contingent consideration adjustments related to the B Medical Systems segment recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Other income included $8.0 million of net interest income versus $11.3 million in the prior year period.
Diluted EPS from continuing operations was ($0.12) compared to ($0.04) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Summary of Non-GAAP Earnings Results

Operating income was $5 million. Operating margin was 2.6%, an improvement of 330 basis points year over year.
- Gross margin was 45.2%, down 40 basis points compared to the third quarter 2023.
- Operating expense in the quarter was $74 million, down 4% year over year, primarily driven by the benefit from cost reduction actions.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $18 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.3%, an improvement of 260 basis points year over year.
Diluted EPS was $0.16, compared to $0.13 one year ago.

Cash and Liquidity as of June 30, 2024

The Company ended the quarter with a total balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $754 million.
Operating cash flow was $2 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures were $7 million, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was negative $5 million.

Share Repurchase Program Update

In the third quarter, the Company repurchased 4.2 million shares for $225.9 million under a 10b5-1 trading program.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 25.1 million shares of common stock for $1.25 billion under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization. By the end of October 2024, the Company expects to complete the full capacity of the $1.5 billion share repurchase authorization announced in November 2022.

Guidance for Continuing Operations for Full Year Fiscal 2024

The Company is lowering its revenue guidance while raising its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2024:
- Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $652 to $658 million due to the expected timing of orders in both B Medical and Sample Management Solutions.
- Total organic revenue is expected to be in the range of down 2% to down 1% relative to fiscal year 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion is expected to be approximately 300 basis points.
- Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.36.

These measures are not presented in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These measures should always be considered in conjunction with appropriate GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most nearly comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of this release following the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. Certain amounts in the tables that supplement the consolidated financial statements may not sum due to rounding. All percentages are calculated using unrounded amounts.

Notes on 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 of intangible assets, restructuring charges, purchase price accounting adjustments and charges related to M&A, non-recurring costs related to the Company's business transformation initiatives and share repurchases 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 impairment losses, 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.

⁽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 & systems re-design.

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

⁽³⁾

Tax adjustments during all periods include adjustments to tax benefits related to stock compensation. These adjustments are recognized in the period of vesting for US GAAP but included in the annual effective tax rate for Non-GAAP reporting. Tax adjustments for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 exclude the impact of recording valuation allowance adjustments against U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets in the amount of $2.4M and tax adjustments for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 exclude a $1.3M US GAAP tax benefit related to an incentive tax rate change in China.
