Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024

Revenue

Net sales for the fourth quarter increased 2% to $306.1 million. Organic revenue increased 1% compared to the prior year, with acquisitions contributing 1%. Foreign currency exchange and a business held-for-sale did not have a material impact.

GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 52% to $45.8 million, compared to $94.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. GAAP operating margin was 15.0%, compared to 31.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Current year GAAP operating margin was impacted by impairment of assets held-for-sale, restructuring and CEO transition costs, certain litigation charges, changes in the fair value of performance-based stock compensation awards in the prior year, and the acquisition of Lunaphore.

Non-GAAP Earnings Results

Adjusted EPS decreased to $0.49 per diluted share compared to $0.55 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 9% to $101.8 million, compared to $111.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating margin was 33.5%, compared to 37.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted operating margin was unfavorably impacted by the acquisition of Lunaphore and unfavorable volume leverage within Protein Sciences.

Full Year Fiscal 2024

Revenue

Net sales for the full year fiscal 2024 increased 2% to $1.2 billion. Organic revenue increased 1%, with acquisitions contributing 1%. Foreign currency exchange and a business held-for-sale did not have a material impact.

GAAP operating income for full year fiscal 2024 decreased 31% to $206.7 million, compared to $298.9 million in the full year fiscal 2023. GAAP operating margin was 17.8%, compared to 26.3% in the full year fiscal 2023. GAAP operating margin was impacted by impairment of assets held-for-sale, restructuring and CEO transition costs, certain litigation charges, non-recurring benefit related to the fair value of contingent consideration in the prior year, the acquisition of Lunaphore, and unfavorable volume leverage within Protein Sciences.

Non-GAAP Earnings Results

Adjusted EPS decreased to $1.77 per diluted share, compared to $1.99 last fiscal year. Adjusted operating income for fiscal 2024 decreased 10% to $370.2 million, compared to $410.2 million for fiscal 2023.

Segment Results

Management uses adjusted operating results to monitor and evaluate performance of the Company's business segments, as highlighted below.

Protein Sciences Segment

The Company's Protein Sciences segment is one of the world's leading suppliers of specialized proteins such as cytokines and growth factors, immunoassays, antibodies and reagents, to the biotechnology and academic research communities. Additionally, the segment provides an array of platforms useful in various areas of protein analysis. Protein Sciences segment's fourth quarter fiscal 2024 net sales were $214.0 million, a decrease of 4% from $223.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. As of December 31, 2023, a business within the Protein Sciences Segment met the criteria as held-for-sale; this held-for-sale business has been excluded from the segment's third and fourth quarter fiscal operating results. The exclusion of fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 sales related to this held-for-sale business reduced sales by 1%. Organic revenue for the segment declined 3% and foreign currency exchange did not have a material impact. The Protein Sciences segment's operating margin was 43.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 44.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The segment's operating margin decreased primarily due to unfavorable volume leverage.

Protein Sciences segment's full year fiscal 2024 net sales were $830.9 million, a decrease of 2% from $845.7 million for full year fiscal 2023. As noted above, a business within the Protein Sciences Segment met the criteria as held-for-sale since December 31, 2023. The exclusion of third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 sales related to a held-for-sale business reduced sales by 1%. Organic revenue for the segment declined 2% for the fiscal year, with foreign currency exchange having a favorable 1% impact on revenue. Protein Sciences segment's operating margin was 42.7% in fiscal 2024 compared to 44.2% in fiscal 2023. The segment's operating margin decreased primarily due to unfavorable volume leverage.

Diagnostics and Genomics Segment

The Company's Diagnostics and Genomics segment develops and provides spatial biology products as well as exosome-based diagnostics for various pathologies, including prostate cancer. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment also provides blood chemistry and blood gas quality controls, hematology instrument controls, immunoassays and other bulk and custom reagents for the in vitro diagnostic market. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's fourth quarter fiscal 2024 net sales were $90.7 million, an increase of 15% from $79.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Organic revenue growth was 9% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, with acquisitions having a 6% impact and foreign exchange not having a material impact. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's operating margin was 12.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 18.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The segment's operating margin decreased primarily due to the Lunaphore acquisition.

The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's full year fiscal 2024 net sales were $326.4 million, an increase of 12% from $292.6 million for full year fiscal 2023. Organic growth for the segment was 6% with acquisitions having a 5% impact and foreign currency exchange having a favorable impact of 1% on revenue growth. The Diagnostics and Genomics segment's operating margin was 7.5% in fiscal 2024 compared to 14.7% in fiscal 2023. The segment's operating margin decreased due to strategic growth investments and the Lunaphore acquisition partially offset by favorable volume leverage.

Use of non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures:

This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. These non-GAAP measures include:

Organic revenue
Adjusted diluted earnings per share
Adjusted net earnings
Adjusted tax rate
Adjusted gross margin
Adjusted operating income
Adjusted operating margin
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)
Adjusted EBITDA

We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.

Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic revenue represents revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months, the impact of foreign currency, the impact of businesses held-for-sale, as well as the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Excluding these measures provides more useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which can vary significantly from period to period, and revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period. Revenues from businesses held-for-sale are excluded from our organic revenue calculation starting on the date they become held-for-sale as those revenues will not be comparative in future periods. Revenues from partially-owned subsidiaries consolidated in our financial statements are also excluded from our organic revenue calculation, as those revenues are not fully attributable to the Company. There was no revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries in fiscal year 2024 due to the sale of Changzhou Eminence Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Eminence) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries was $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, exclude stock-based compensation, which is inclusive of the employer portion of payroll taxes on those stock awards, the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, restructuring and restructuring-related costs, and other non-recurring items including non-recurring costs, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and gains. Stock-based compensation is excluded from non-GAAP adjusted net earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjection assumptions, variety of award types, and unpredictability of amount and timing of employer related tax obligations. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory and acquisition-related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including gains or losses on goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and one-time assessments from this measure because they occur as a result of specific events, and are not reflective of our internal investments, the costs of developing, producing, supporting and selling our products, and the other ongoing costs to support our operating structure. We also exclude certain litigation charges which are facts and circumstances specific including costs to resolve litigation and legal settlement (gains and losses). In some cases, these costs may be a result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were not probable, inestimable, or unresolved at the time of acquisition. Costs related to restructuring and restructuring-related activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs. Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity. The Company also excludes revenue and expense attributable to partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries as well as revenue and expense attributable to businesses held-for-sale in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes acquisition related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value of contingent consideration, gain and losses from investments, as they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions (excluding our equity method investment in Wilson Wolf as it is certain to be acquired in the future), certain adjustments to income tax expense, and other non-recurring items including certain costs related to the transition to a new CEO. Additionally, gains and losses from investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate to be applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments considering the impact of discrete items on these adjustments and the jurisdictional mix of the adjustments. In addition, the tax impact of other discrete and non-recurring charges which impact our reported GAAP tax rate are adjusted from net earnings. We believe these tax items can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of adjusted financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements attached to this press release.
