Management Comments

“Fiscal 2025 was a transformative year for Azenta. We achieved 3% core revenue growth and meaningful margin expansion,” said John Marotta, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We simplified our organization, made significant progress enabled by the Azenta Business System, and strengthened our execution, which is driving measurable improvements in quality, delivery, and productivity.” 

Mr. Marotta continued, “We enter fiscal 2026 in a healthier position, with a more streamlined and accountable structure, with sharper focus on the customer, and growing momentum across the business. We expect core growth between 3% and 5%, approximately 300 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, and higher free cash flow generation.”  

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results Continuing Operations

  • Revenue was $159 million, up 6% year over year. Organic revenue, which excludes the impact from foreign exchange, grew 4% year over year, mainly attributable to higher revenue in Multiomics.
  • Sample Management Solutions revenue was $86 million, up 2% year over year.
    • Organic revenue was flat, mainly driven by lower revenue in Cryogenic Systems, offset by higher revenue in Clinical Biostores, Automated Stores, Consumables and Instruments, and Sample Storage.
  • Multiomics revenue was $73 million, up 11% year over year.
    • Organic revenue grew 10% year over year, primarily driven by growth in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis, partially offset by a year-over-year decline in Sanger sequencing revenue.


Summary of GAAP Earnings Results – Continuing Operations

  • Operating income was $2 million. Operating margin was 1.2%, an improvement of 430 basis points year over year.
    • Gross margin was 45.4%, flat year over year, reflecting continued cost discipline, operational improvements, and favorable sales mix in Sample Management Solutions, offset by higher costs and lower volumes in parts of the Multiomics segment.
    • Operating expenses were $70 million, down 4% year over year, primarily driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower transformation and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by higher research and development costs.
  • Other income included $5 million of net interest income versus $6 million in the prior year period.
  • Tax adjustments include a one-time $45.6 million benefit related to a worthless stock deduction on one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

    • Adjusted operating expenses in the quarter were $65 million, up 4% year over year, primarily driven by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research and development costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $21 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.0%, an improvement of 230 basis points year over year.

  • Operating loss was $27 million. Operating margin was (4.5%), an improvement of 440 basis points year over year.
    • Gross margin was 45.5%, up 110 basis points year over year, primarily driven by higher revenue, favorable sales mix, operating efficiencies and improved cost execution.
    • Operating expenses were $297 million, down 3% year over year due to lower research and development costs, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower restructuring charges, lower merger and acquisition costs and costs related to share repurchases, and lower amortization costs, as well as the impact of intangible asset impairment charges recorded in the prior year.

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion is expected to be approximately 300 basis points relative to fiscal 2025.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company identified a classification error in previously issued consolidated statements of operations. Certain costs had been incorrectly allocated among cost of revenue, research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, cost of revenue and research and development expenses were understated and selling, general and administrative expenses were overstated by equal and offsetting amounts. The Company concluded that the error was not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any previously issued financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has corrected the error by revising the consolidated financial statements for all affected prior periods as presented herein. These revisions also reflect the correction of certain other immaterial prior-period errors that had previously been corrected on an out-of-period basis in the periods in which they were identified. Management is evaluating the impact of the classification error on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Further information regarding these revisions will be provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

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 fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2025 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.

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.

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.


(3)

The Company received $2.1 million of cash proceeds from a cost method investment which had no cost basis during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The gain is non-recurring and non-operational in nature. 

(4)

Tax adjustments during all periods include adjustments to tax benefits related to stock-based 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. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, tax adjustments include a one-time $45.6 million benefit related to a worthless stock deduction on one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, that is excluded from non-GAAP results.
