Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
As previously disclosed on November 12, 2024, Azenta, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it is pursuing a sale of its B Medical Systems segment, a manufacturer and global distributor of medical refrigeration devices based in Luxembourg. This strategic action is intended to simplify the Company’s portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics businesses. The decision followed work by the Company’s Board of Directors to evaluate strategic, operational and financial opportunities to maximize shareholder value.

The Company has concluded that, as of the date of the announcement on November 12, 2024, the B Medical Systems segment met the held-for-sale criteria and qualifies as a discontinued operation under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In order to assist investors in understanding the impact of the separation of the B Medical Systems segment on the Company’s financial results, the Company is furnishing in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference, revised unaudited financial information for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and as of September 30, 2024, recast to reflect the separation of the B Medical Systems segment and its classification as a discontinued operation.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference. The information in Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Some statements in this Current Report are forward-looking statements made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that could cause the Company’s financial and business results to differ materially from its expectations. They are based on the facts known to management at the time they are made. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements about the potential sale of the B Medical Systems segment. Factors that could cause results to differ from the Company’s expectations include the following: the Company’s ability to sell the B Medical Systems segment and focus on its core businesses; the Company’s ability to reduce costs effectively; the volatility of the life sciences markets the Company serves; the Company’s possible inability to meet demand for its products due to difficulties in obtaining components and materials from its suppliers in required quantities and of required quality; the inability of customers to make payments to the Company when due; price competition; disputes concerning intellectual property; uncertainties in global political and economic conditions; and other factors and other risks, including those that we have described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. As a result, the Company can provide no assurance that its future results will not be materially different from those projected. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Revised Financial Information

 

As previously disclosed on November 12, 2024, Azenta, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it is pursuing a sale of its B Medical Systems segment, a manufacturer and global distributor of medical refrigeration devices based in Luxembourg. This strategic action is intended to simplify the Company’s portfolio and allow management to focus on driving revenue growth and profitability in its core Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics businesses. The decision followed work by the Company’s Board of Directors to evaluate strategic, operational and financial opportunities to maximize shareholder value.

 

The Company has concluded that, as of the date of the announcement on November 12, 2024, the B Medical Systems segment met the held-for-sale criteria and qualifies as a discontinued operation under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

In order to assist investors in understanding the impact of the separation of the B Medical Systems segment on the Company’s financial results, the Company is furnishing the following revised unaudited financial information to reflect the separation of the B Medical Systems segment and its classification as a discontinued operation.

 

The following revised financial information has not been audited and does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, the following revised financial information should be read in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2024, the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 8, 2024, the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2024 and the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on August 6, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The following tables provide certain non-GAAP financial information that reflects the separation of the B Medical Systems segment and its classification as a discontinued operation. 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, purchase accounting impact on inventory, transformation costs, restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration, merger and acquisition costs and costs related to share repurchase, and other unallocated corporate expenses 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 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. The tables begin with the most nearly comparable GAAP measure and show the adjustments to such measure to derive the non-GAAP measure. 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 cost reduction 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 and systems re-design.

(2)

Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.

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 cost reduction 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 and systems re-design.

Includes expenses related to governance-related matters.
