Management Comments

"We delivered revenue performance consistent with our expectations. We also generated strong free cash flow in the quarter, reflecting our continued focus on operational discipline and working capital management," said John Marotta, President and CEO. "Further, we saw challenges on the gross margin line, and our turnaround continues, and in any turnaround, it is never a straight line. We remain committed to our fiscal 2026 objectives and our expectation for a stronger second half of the year, supported by our ongoing execution initiatives. We are equally confident in our long-range plan outlined at Investor Day, which extends through 2028 and supports sustainable growth and long-term value creation."

First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results - Continuing Operations

Revenue was $149 million, up 1% year over year. Organic revenue, which excludes the impact from foreign exchange, declined 1% year over year, reflecting flat revenue in Multiomics and lower revenue in Sample Management Solutions.
Sample Management Solutions revenue was $81 million, flat year over year.
- Organic revenue which excludes the impact from foreign exchange, declined 2%, mainly driven by lower revenues in Core Products, particularly in Automated Stores and Cryogenic Systems, partially offset by higher revenue in Sample Storage, Product Services and Consumables and Instruments.
Multiomics revenue was $67 million, up 1% year over year.
- Organic revenue, which excludes the impact from foreign exchange, was flat year over year, primarily driven by growth in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis, largely offset by a year-over-year decline in Sanger Sequencing.

Summary of GAAP Earnings Results - Continuing Operations

Operating loss was $7.2 million. Operating margin was (4.9%), up 100 basis points year over year.
- Gross margin was 42.9%, down 380 basis points year over year, mainly driven by lost cost leverage from lower sales volumes in certain areas of the portfolio and costs related to rework on several Automated Stores projects.
- Operating expenses were $71 million, down 8% year over year, due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher research and development costs and restructuring charges.
Other income included $5 million of net interest income versus $4 million in the prior year period.
Diluted EPS from continuing operations was ($0.11) compared to ($0.16) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Diluted EPS from discontinued operations was ($0.22). Total diluted EPS was ($0.34), compared to ($0.25) a year ago.

Summary of Non-GAAP Earnings Results - Continuing Operations

Adjusted operating income was $0.5 million. Adjusted operating margin was 0.4%, a decline of 130 basis points year over year.
- Adjusted gross margin was 44.1%, down 360 basis points compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025, mainly driven by lost cost leverage from lower sales volumes in certain areas of the portfolio and costs related to rework on several Automated Stores projects.
- Adjusted operating expense in the quarter was $65 million, down 4% year over year, driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by higher research and development costs.
Adjusted EBITDA was $13 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.5%, a decrease of 230 basis points year over year.
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS was $0.09, compared to $0.12 one year ago.

Cash and Liquidity as of December 31, 2025

The Company ended the quarter with a total balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $571 million.
Operating cash flow was $21 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures were $6 million, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $15 million.

Share Repurchase Program Update

On December 8, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock through December 31, 2028 (the "2025 Repurchase Program"). Repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions (including under an ASR agreement), or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of common stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program, and share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. As of the date of this press release, the Company has not repurchased any shares of its common stock under the 2025 Repurchase Program.

Guidance for Continuing Operations for Full Year Fiscal 2026

The Company is reiterating its guidance for fiscal year 2026:
- Total organic revenue is expected to grow in the range of 3% to 5% relative to fiscal 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion is expected to be approximately 300 basis points relative to fiscal 2025.

Sale of B Medical Systems

On December 23, 2025, we entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement with Thelema S.À R.L. for the sale of B Medical Systems business, for a purchase price of $63 million. The transaction is expected to close on or before March 31, 2026.

Azenta does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis for the measures on which it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance as the Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are dependent on various factors, are out of the company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, transformation costs, restructuring charges, costs related to acquisitions and divestitures costs, governance-related matters, goodwill and intangible impairments, stock-based compensation, and other gains and charges that are not representative of the normal operations of the business.

Conference Call and Webcast

Azenta management will webcast its first quarter fiscal 2026 earnings conference call today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. During the call, Company management will respond to questions concerning, but not limited to, the Company's financial performance, business conditions and industry outlook. Management's responses could contain information that has not been previously disclosed.

The call will be broadcast live over the Internet and, together with presentation materials referenced on the call, will be hosted at the Investor Relations section of Azenta's website at https://investors.azenta.com/events and will be archived online on this website for convenient on-demand replay.

Regulation G – Use of Non-GAAP financial Measures

The Company supplements its GAAP financial measures with certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors a better perspective on the results of business operations, which the Company believes is more comparable to the similar analyses provided by its peers. 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 and statements of operations. Certain amounts in the tables that supplement the consolidated financial statements may not sum due to rounding. All percentages are calculated using unrounded amounts.

"Safe Harbor Statement" under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Some statements in this release are forward-looking statements made under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that could cause Azenta's financial and business results to differ materially from our 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 Company's guidance for fiscal year 2026 including its revenue and earnings expectations, the expected timing of the closing of the B Medical Systems business disposition, and the manner in which repurchases under the Company's 2025 Share Repurchase Program may be made. Factors that could cause results to differ from our expectations include the following: uncertainties in global political and economic conditions, including the imposition of additional tariffs on goods imported into the US; our ability to reduce costs effectively; the volatility of the life sciences markets the Company serves; our possible inability to meet demand for our products due to difficulties in obtaining components and materials from our suppliers in required quantities and of required quality; the inability of customers to make payments to us when due; competition; and other factors and other risks, including those that we have described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. As a result, we can provide no assurance that our future results will not be materially different from those projected.

Notes on Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Continuing Operations

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.

(*)	See footnote (1) on Page 1.
(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 primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and 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 three and six months ended March 31, 2025 include $6.6 million of tax expenses related to a one-time repatriation of historical earnings from China.

⁽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 primarily relate to one time asset write downs associated with changes in technology, one time inventory write downs relating to restructuring actions, and third-party consulting costs associated with process and systems re-design.
