Management Comments
"We saw continued momentum in the second quarter with strong organic revenue growth, and improved profitability as a result of our ongoing cost reduction and transformation initiatives," stated Steve Schwartz, President and CEO. "This marks our fourth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow. And as noted during our Investor Day in March, we are confident in our position and the market opportunity which we are uniquely positioned to capture."
Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results
- Revenue was $159 million, up 7% year over year. Organic revenue, which excludes the impacts from foreign exchange, was also up 7% year over year, with a nominal benefit from foreign exchange tailwinds. The year-over-year revenue increase was attributable to higher B Medical Systems ("B Medical") and Sample Management Solutions revenues. The combined Sample Management Solutions and Multiomics business segments grew 2% on an organic basis. The Consumables and Instruments ("C&I") product line remained a headwind to growth in the second quarter, largely attributable to instruments softness. Excluding the C&I product line, organic revenue grew 9% year-over-year.
- Sample Management Solutions revenue was $74 million, up 4% year over year.
- Organic revenue grew 3%, mainly driven by continued strength in large-automated Store Systems and Sample Repository Solutions, partially offset by a year-over-year revenue decline in the C&I product line. Excluding the C&I product line, the segment grew 8% on an organic basis.
- Multiomics revenue was $62 million, flat year over year.
- Organic revenue grew 1% year over year, primarily driven by growth in Gene Synthesis services, partially offset by a year-over-year decline in Sanger sequencing revenue.
- B Medical Systems revenue was $23 million, up 51% year over year.
- Organic revenue grew 49% year over year. The better-than-expected revenue in the quarter was mainly due to the materialization of additional cold chain solution orders received during the period.
Summary of GAAP Earnings Results
- Operating loss was $147 million. Operating margin was (92.3%), compared to (8.7%) in the second quarter fiscal year 2023.
- Gross margin was 39.8%, an improvement of 400 basis points year over year, mainly driven by higher revenue.
- Operating expenses were $210 million, up 218% year over year, and included a $111.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the B Medical segment and a $4.7 million non-cash intangible asset impairment charge related to the discontinuation of the sample sourcing product offering (a product line within the Sample Management Solutions segment), as well as costs for restructuring and transformation. The year-over-year increase was driven by the goodwill and intangible asset impairments, transformation costs, and higher restructuring costs, partially offset by a prior year one-time non-cash benefit of $17 million related to the reversal of the fair value of B Medical contingent consideration.
- Other income included $9.6 million of net interest income versus $10.4 million in the prior year period.
- Diluted EPS from continuing operations was ($2.47) compared to ($0.03) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Summary of Non-GAAP Earnings Results
- Operating loss was $6 million. Operating margin was (3.6%), an improvement of 530 basis points year over year.
- Gross margin was 44.3%, an improvement of 310 basis points year over year, mainly driven by higher revenue and operating efficiency.
- Operating expense in the quarter was $76 million, up 3% year over year, primarily driven by the year-over-year increase in stock-based compensation and higher commissions expense in B Medical which offset the benefit from cost reduction actions.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.9%, an improvement of 750 basis points year over year.
- Diluted EPS was $0.05, compared to ($0.06) one year ago.
Cash and Liquidity as of March 31, 2024
- The Company ended the quarter with a total balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $975 million.
- Operating cash flow was $8 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures were $7 million, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $2 million.
Share Repurchase Program Update
- In the second quarter, the Company repurchased 1.2 million shares for $73.9 million under a 10b5-1 trading program.
- As of March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 20.9 million shares of common stock for $1.025 billion under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization. In fiscal year 2024, the Company intends 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 revenue guidance for fiscal year 2024 while raising earnings guidance:
- Total revenue is now expected to be in the range of $659 to $671 million due to the timing of B Medical revenue.
- Total organic revenue in the range of down 1% to up 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 $0.27 to $0.37.

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 six months ended March 31, 2024, exclude the impact of recording valuation allowance adjustments against U.S. deferred taxes in the amount of $0.7M. Tax adjustments for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, included a $1.3M increase to expense related to the exclusion of a benefit from an incentive tax rate change in China. |
