    Management Comments

    "Fiscal 2022 started strong with continued robust demand for our product and service offerings," stated Steve Schwartz, President and CEO. "Azenta is winning and executing around the globe, while expanding and deepening customer relationships as a critical part of their end-to-end processes.  With the closing of the sale of the semiconductor business on February 1st, we are now a standalone life sciences company with a strong balance sheet to pursue strategic growth opportunities."

    Summary of Q1 GAAP Results

    • Revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter was $140 million, up 18% year over year. Year-over-year organic growth was 16%.
    • Revenue from Life Sciences Products grew 10% year over year driven by strength in automated ultra-cold storage systems, and Life Sciences Services was up 24% with more than 20% growth in both Sample Repository Solutions and Genomic Services.
    • Operating loss for the first quarter was $0.3 million. Gross margin was 48.0% and operating expense of $67.4 million included approximately $3.7 million of professional fees in support of M&A initiatives.
    • We recorded a net benefit of $4.7 million from income tax, driven by the windfall tax benefit from stock compensation treatment recorded at time of vesting in the quarter. 
    • Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.04 per share, essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2021. Total diluted EPS of $0.58 includes $0.54 of diluted EPS from discontinued operations.

    Summary of Q1 Non-GAAP Earnings for Continuing Operations

    The Continuing Operations view shown on a non-GAAP basis provides additional performance information by excluding the impact of M&A costs, amortization, restructuring, purchase price accounting, certain tax impacts, and special charges or gains, such as impairment losses. 

    • As referenced above, revenue in the first quarter was $140 million, up 18% year over year, with 10% growth in Life Sciences Products and 24% growth in Life Science Services.
    • Operating income was $12 million, up 7% year over year, and operating margin was 8.8%, down 90 basis points year over year and up 60 basis points sequentially. Gross margin of 49.3% was lower by 100 basis points year over year and 40 basis points sequentially. The gross margin of the Products business was 45.9%, up 20 basis points year over year and lower 200 basis points sequentially. The gross margin of the Services business was 51.2%, lower by 190 basis points year over year and up 40 basis points sequentially. Operating expense in the quarter was $56.6 million, lower by $0.2 million compared to Q4 2021, and up $8.7 million year over year. Operating expense in the quarter included approximately $3 million related to support from personnel which will roll off with the finalization of the sale.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $20 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.2%, down 130 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021.
    • Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.12, compared to $0.13 one year ago.

    Cash and Liquidity

    • Cash flow from operations on a total company basis was $16 million for the quarter.
    • The Company ended the first fiscal quarter of 2022 with a total balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $232 million which excludes $45 million of cash held in discontinued operations. Total debt was $50 million and net cash was $182 million.

    Subsequent Event - Sale of the Semiconductor Automation Business  

    As previously announced, the Company completed the sale of its semiconductor automation business on February 1, 2022 to Thomas H. Lee Partners for a cash price of $3.0 billion, subject to final working capital and other adjustments.  Net cash proceeds from the divestiture are expected to be approximately $2.4 billion upon the settlement of fees and taxes.  Upon closure of the sale on February 1, 2022, the Company utilized approximately $50 million of proceeds to extinguish outstanding debt.  The Company also terminated its revolving line of credit, which had no borrowings outstanding.

    Guidance for Continuing Operations for Second Quarter Fiscal 2022

    The Company announced revenue and earnings guidance for continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.  Revenue is expected to be in the range of $137 million to $147 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the second fiscal quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.15.   GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of ($0.04) to $0.04.

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.

    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 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)

    Tax adjustments during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, exclude tax benefits related to stock compensation windfalls. These benefits are recognized in the period of vesting for US GAAP but included in the annual effective tax rate for Non-GAAP reporting.  We have excluded $16.6 million of tax benefits during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 related to tax reserve reversals due to the expiration of statute of limitations on a liability primarily related to the GENEWIZ acquisition; and $1.5 million related to the timing differences in recognizing the tax benefit related to stock compensation windfall tax deductions. This is partially offset by the exclusion of a $3.4 million charge for the write-down of the tax basis of assets relating to the reversal of the GENEWIZ tax liability and the exclusion of $4.1 million of withholding tax costs associated with foreign cash repatriation.

    Business Line Realignment – Life Sciences Services

    In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, as the Company integrated the Genomic Services component and the Sample Repository Solutions component to form the Life Sciences Services segment, the Company realigned certain laboratory services which existed in each business line to be managed underneath the Genomic Services business unit.  The table below reflects the revenue for our Sample Repository Solutions and Genomic Services businesses after the reclassification of these laboratory services over the historical quarterly periods and for the full fiscal years of 2021 and 2020. 

    Management's discussion and analysis of results throughout fiscal year 2021 have previously reflected the revenue amounts reported below.  This table serves to update an immaterial misclassification in the disaggregated revenue disclosure in its Revenue from Contracts with Customers footnote in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, as well as to retroactively reclassify the footnote information for the quarterly periods and full fiscal year of 2020 for this business realignment to provide additional clarity.
