As discussed in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements includedsee in full comparisonelsewhereinthisour Annual Report on Form10-K,10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we determined that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 required restatement primarily to correct an error we identified relating to the timing of revenue recognition for a product sale with non-standard contractual terms. Assessment of the error and the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting, the resulting restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted periods,andtheongoingrelatedprocesssecuritiesoflitigation, and remediating the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reportinghavediverted management’s attention and caused us to incur significant unanticipated expenses for legal, audit and other professional services fees. The restatement and the associated non-reliance on our previously issued quarterly financial statements and other related financial information could also cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting and harm our reputation, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.We are currently subject to a putative securities class action lawsuit, and face the potential for additional, litigation or regulatory inquiries in connection with or related to the restatement and associated material weaknesses, including claims involving the U.S. federal securities laws. Litigation and any regulatory inquiries are likely to divert management’s time and attention and, regardless of the outcome of such litigation, we will incur legal and other costs of defense, which could be significant. Further, if we do not prevail in the litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
“The material weaknesses related to our revenue process resulted in the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As a result of the material weaknesses, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024. …”see in full comparison

We are dependent on the level of our customers’ spending on and demand for outsourced nucleic acid production and biologics safety testing products and services. A reduction in spending or change in spending priorities of our customers could significantly reduce demand for our TriLink and Cygnus products and services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Access to capital is critical to many of our customers’ ability to fund research and development, particularly early-stage biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and historically, these companies have funded their research and development activities by raising capital privately or in the equity markets. Past declines and uncertainties in the capital markets, including as a result of ongoing macroeconomic challenges during 2023 and into 2024, including elevated interest rates and volatile credit markets, limited access to capital and negatively affected companies’ ability to fund research and development efforts due to a considerable contraction in the level of investment in venture- and private equity-backed startup companies and funding for companies at all stages, particularly early- and late-stage companies. Notwithstanding ongoing liquidity challenges, globalGlobal venture capital investmentinvestments in healthcare and biotech companies in 2025 increased slightly infrom 2024,2024 amounts, however, investments in information technology and artificial intelligence (“AI”) companies still overshadowed other sector categories, with overroughly twicethree times the levelnumber of investmentdollars invested in companies in AI-related fields relative to the healthhealthcare and life sciencesbiotech sector. And while the total number of dollars invested in healthcare and biotech companies increased in 2025, the share of U.S. startup investment dollars going to biotech companies has hit the lowest level in roughly 20 years, with funding for early-stage biotech companies being particularly slow. This means that even if market interest in funding biotech companies rebounds, there will be a limited pipeline of companies ready to scale. Lower levels of venture capital investment in the healthhealthcare and life sciencesbiotech sector, relative to other sectors, together with hesitancycaution about athe stability of the broader economicmacroeconomic recovery,environment, including as a result of of geopolitical instability and actual and potential shifts in U.S. and foreign trade, economic and other policies, has led certain of our customers to implement more stringent budgetary policies designed to conserve capital, which in turn, caused a reduction in research and development spending and a decline in further purchases of our products and services. We have no assurance as to whether, or when, such research and development spending may stabilize or increase, if at all. Further, if the funding of venture- and private equity-backed biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies remains weak or weakens further, the research and development budgets of our customers may be further reduced or eliminated altogether, which could impact future demand for our products and services.
We have no control over the timing and volume of purchases by our customers. We estimate that revenue from high-volume sales of CleanCap® for commercial phase vaccine programs represented approximately 25.4%,0.0%, 21.0%25.4% and 67.9%21.0% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. The amount, timing and durability of future high-volume CleanCap® orders have become increasingly difficult to forecast because historical customers for such orders have been unable or unwilling to provide visibility into their anticipated long-term future needs and plans to purchase CleanCap®. As a result, our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes it difficult for us to predict our revenues and future operating results, and if high-volume orders for CleanCap® do not materialize in the future at similar or greater levels than they have in the past, our revenues and cash flows will significantly decrease which, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and financial condition.
Certain of our products, including our proprietary CleanCap® analogs, are used by our customers in the production of commercial phase vaccines, notably COVID-19 vaccines. During each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, our results of operations and cash flows were significantly and positively impacted by high-volume sales of our proprietary CleanCap® analogs and highly modified RNA products, particularly mRNA, for commercial vaccines. However, as a result of the general decrease in market demand for COVID-19 related products and services, including the supply and manufacture of COVID-19 vaccines, and in particular, following the end of U.S. federal public health emergency declaration and World Health Organization declaration of the end of the pandemic in early May 2022, we experienced substantial declines in high-volume orders for CleanCap®. For the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, we estimate that revenue from high-volume sales of CleanCap® for commercial phase vaccine programs and related services represented approximately 25.4%,0.0%, 21.0%25.4% and 67.9%,21.0%, respectively, of our total revenues. We expect to experience furtherunpredictable declinesfluctuations in demand for high-volume sales of CleanCap® for the aforementioned reasons, as well as a result of any unused inventory of our products that our customers have on hand, which are not indication-specific. We are currently unable to fully estimate the impact of thisany unused inventory on our future revenues, nor are we able to accurately predict whenthe timing or ifmagnitude of customers’ future purchases of our customers will resume purchasing CleanCap® analogs for commercial phase vaccine production, if at all.production. Our longer-term revenue prospects for high-volume CleanCap® orders are highly uncertain but are expected to remainbe substantially lower than pandemic highs. Additionally, the ongoing manufacture and supply of COVID-19 vaccines (including bivalent booster doses) by our customers is uncertain and subject to various political, social, economic, and regulatory factors that are outside of our control, including the emergence, duration and intensity of new virus variants; regional resurgences of the virus globally; the availability and administration of pediatric and booster vaccinations, vaccine supply constraints, vaccine hesitancy and the effectiveness of vaccines against new virus strains; competition faced by our customers from other COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and the development and availability of antiviral therapeutic alternatives; political and social debate relating to the need for, efficacy of, or side effects related to one or more specific COVID-19 vaccines; the politicization of vaccinations and increase in vaccine skepticism; and the U.S. economy and global economy. As the supply and manufacture of COVID-19 vaccines by our customers slows, or becomes no longer necessary, including if COVID-19 vaccines by our customers’ competitors are determined or perceived to be more effective, we expect that demand for high-volume sales of CleanCap® will remain low, which could continue to significantlyadversely decrease, which would have a material adverse effect onaffect our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.
Our reagents are sold primarily to biopharmaceutical and academic organizations developing novel vaccines and therapies and performing basic research. Research and development spending by our customers and the availability of government research funding can fluctuate due to changes in available resources, institutional and governmental budgetary policies, mergers of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, spending priorities, and general economic conditions. Our biologics safety testingCygnus customers are biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract development and manufacturing organizations (“CDMOs”) and life science companies, which largely serve the biopharmaceutical industry. Our nucleic acid productionTriLink customers are largely vaccine and therapeutic drug makers or diagnostics manufacturers, which rely in part on government healthcare-related policies and funding. As a result, changes in government funding for certain research, decreases in or the imposition of limits on government spending more generally (including if the Office of Management and Budget reenacts its call for a freeze on payments for federal grants),generally, skepticism of or hostility to mRNA as a modality, or reductions in overall healthcare spending could negatively impact us or our customers and, correspondingly, our sales to them, which would negatively affect our business, operations and financial condition.
We may not realize the expected operational or financial benefits from our recent organizational changes, including changes to our executive management team and the workforce reductions, and other cost reduction initiatives, which could also have unintended consequences and adversely impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2025, we appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, in August 2025, we announced the 2025 Corporate Realignment Plan, that included the termination of approximately 25% of the Company’s workforce, a planned reduction of the Company’s facilities footprint, and other actions designed to significantly reduce operating costs and focus our resources on projects that we believe will deliver sustainable long-term growth, including improving our e-commerce presence.
Our recent executive leadership changes, as well as the organizational restructuring and cost-reduction initiatives, including the targeted annual cost savings and the anticipated timeline to realize these benefits, are subject to many risks and uncertainties. The restructuring costs, including severance costs, associated with the workforce reduction may be greater than anticipated, and implementation of the remaining contemplated cost reduction actions may take longer than we anticipated, including as a result of factors beyond our control, which may cause us to not fully achieve the expected operational and financial benefits. Further, implementation of the organizational changes, including the workforce reduction, could have unintended consequences to us, including adversely impacting our revenues as a result fewer employees being available to respond to business needs, employee attrition beyond the planned workforce reduction and lower employee morale and motivation among those of our employees who were not impacted by the workforce reduction. This, in turn, could make it more difficult to achieve our operating plans and adversely impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Executive management transitions, particularly at the principal executive officer and principal financial officer levels, inherently cause some loss of institutional knowledge. Executive-level transitions often lead to changes in strategic or operating goals, which can create uncertainty, and in turn, higher levels of attrition and senior-level departures, business disruption, and may negatively impact our business, financial position and results of operations.
As we continue to identify areas for potential cost savings, or to the extent that we are unable to successfully implement our current cost savings initiatives in a timely manner or achieve our anticipated cost savings, we may consider implementing further cost savings initiatives to improve our profitability and generate higher levels of free cash flow. We also cannot guarantee that we will not have to undertake additional workforce reductions in the future. Furthermore, these measures could be disruptive to our operations, including as a result of inefficiencies related to task unfamiliarity, heavier workloads, loss of knowledge and vacant positions, particularly if we are unable to effectively implement and manage the transition of impacted employees’ duties and responsibilities. Any such inefficiencies could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows
Our ability to develop and market our products and services and our overall performance depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate a highly skilled workforce.
Our future success depends largely upon the continued service of our management and scientific staff and our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, scientific, management and marketing personnel, who deliver high-quality and timely services to our customers and keep pace with cutting-edge technologies and developments in biologics. We face significant competition in the hiring and retention of such personnel from other companies, other providers of outsourced biologics services, research and academic institutions, government and other organizations who have superior funding and resources and who may use these resources to pursue personnel more aggressively than we are. Additionally, certain highly skilled personnel that we seek to employ may be subject to non-competition or other restrictive covenants restricting their ability to work for us or within certain aspects of our business for a period of time. Although some jurisdictions (including the State of California) prohibit non-competition agreements as a matter of law, and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would prohibit employers in the U.S. from using non-compete agreements, if we hire certain employees from competitors or other companies, those former employers may attempt to assert that these employees and/or we have breached certain legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources.
We have, from time to time, experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. In recent years, recruiting, hiring and retaining employees with expertise in our industry and in the geographies where we operate has become increasingly difficult as the demand for skilled professionals has increased. The loss of key personnel or our inability to hire and retain skilled personnel could materially adversely affect the development of our products and services and our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
Our use of Artificial Intelligence technologies, including Machine Learning, and the integration of AI technologies within our custom products offerings and marketing campaigns, may not be successful and may present business, compliance, and reputational challenges, which could lead to operational or reputational damage, competitive harm, legal and regulatory risk, and additional costs, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We have utilized and incorporated, and expect to continue to utilize and incorporate, Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning into our TriLink custom products workflow to help customers optimize RNA sequence design and mRNA manufacturing for custom products. Officinae Bio’s AI-powered design pipeline, Mercurius, integrates public and proprietary data (both our own and the customer’s) to inform both sequence design and process parameters custom products, computing the conditional probabilities of different sequence designs to meet a customer’s specific expression, safety, and targeting goals. There are significant risks associated with the adoption, development, maintenance, and deployment of AI and Machine Learning in our product design platform, and there can be no assurance that the use of our current or any future offerings utilizing AI or Machine Learning will materially enhance our products or services or be beneficial to our business, including via efficiency gains or increased revenues or profitability. In particular, AI, including Machine Learning, technologies we develop and use may be designed or implemented incorrectly; may be trained or reliant on inadequate, inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or otherwise poor quality data or on data to which we or third parties do not have the right to use for such purposes; and/or may be adversely impacted by technical challenges, unforeseen defects, cybersecurity threats, third-party litigation or regulatory action, or material performance issues. Any of the above could adversely impact our custom products offerings and business, as well as our reputation, and we could be subject to civil claims or incur liability and costs resulting from the actual or perceived violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party.
In addition to our proprietary technologies, we use, or may use, AI, including Generative AI, technologies licensed from third parties. Specifically, we use third-party Generative AI to perform targeted marketing campaigns, including the dissemination of AI-generated marketing videos. We do not have full control or visibility over the quality, security, performance, or compliance of the work product produced by third-party AI. There is also a risk that the underlying algorithms used by our vendors may be flawed, or trained on incomplete or biased datasets, leading to inaccuracies, inefficiencies, or other negative consequences. AI technologies also carry the risk of generating content that is factually incorrect, offensive, or infringing on third-party intellectual property rights. These factors may expose us to brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, consumer complaints, legal liability, and other adverse consequences.
Additionally, the regulatory environment surrounding AI is still in development, and new laws or regulations could be adopted in the United States, the European Union, or in other non-U.S. jurisdictions that require substantial adjustments to our current use of AI in our business. It is also possible that existing laws and regulations, including data privacy, consumer protection, competition laws, may be interpreted in ways that would limit our ability to use AI technologies for our business, or require us to change the way we use AI technologies in a manner that negatively affects the performance of our offerings, services, and business and requires us to expend resources and adjust our offerings or services in certain jurisdictions. These changes could impose unexpected costs or operational disruptions, and the full scope and impact of such regulatory developments remain uncertain.
Any of the aforementioned risks, whether related to internal AI development, third-party dependencies, or regulatory changes, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We are subject to the risk of disruption by earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters, fire, power shortages, geopolitical unrest, war (including any escalation of the ongoing military conflicts in Venezuela, Ukraine or the Middle East), terrorist attacks and other hostile acts, public health issues, epidemics or pandemics and other events beyond our control and the control of the third parties on which we depend. Any of these catastrophic events, whether in the United States or abroad, may have a significant negative impact on the global economy, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors or customers, and could decrease demand for our products and services, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver products and services to our customers.
We plan to continue a strategy of growth and development for our business. To this end, we actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses that would complement our existing portfolio of products and services. In order to complete such strategic transactions, we may need to seek additional financing to fund these investments and acquisitions. Should we need to do so, we may not be able to secure such financing, or obtain such financing on favorable terms, for reasons including risingthe interestimpact ratesof andgeopolitical continuedor volatilitymacroeconomic andfactors uncertaintyon inthe relative strength of the U.S. and global capital and credit markets. Our credit agreement also contains a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant restrictions on our ability to make acquisitions or certain other investments, as well as to incur additional indebtedness to finance such acquisitions or other investments. In addition, future acquisitions may require the issuance or sale of additional equity, or equity-linked securities, which may result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
We may be unable to efficiently manage growth opportunities as a larger and more geographically diverse organization.
Our strategic acquisitions, the continued expansion of our commercial sales operationsacquisitions and our organic growth opportunities have increased the scope and complexity of our business. As a result, we will face challenges inherent in efficiently managing a more complex business with anour increasedemployee numberbase of employeesspread over largea larger geographic distances,distance, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits and compliance programs. Our inability to manage successfully a geographically more diverse and substantially larger organization could materially adversely affect our operating results.
We have made in the past, and may make in the future, selected opportunistic acquisitions of complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. In January 2023, we completed the acquisition of Alphazyme, LLC, an original equipment manufacturer provider of custom molecular biology enzymes, servicing customers in the genetic analysis and nucleic acid synthesis markets to complement our nucleic acid production business, in January 2025, we acquired the intellectual property and related assets of Molecular Assemblies, Inc., developers of enzymatic DNA synthesis technology to complement our nucleic acid productionTriLink business, and in February 2025, we completed the acquisition of Officinae Bio, S.R.L., a technology company with a proprietary digital platform designed with AI and machine learning capabilities to support the biological design of therapeutics to complement our nucleic acid productionTriLink business. However, we may be unable to continue to identify or complete promising acquisitions for many reasons, including competition among buyers, the high valuations of businesses in our industry, the need for regulatory and other approvals and the availability of capital, particularly during a period of disruption and volatility within the global capital and credit markets.
We are required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to test goodwill for impairment at least annually and to review our goodwill, amortizable intangible assets and other assets acquired through merger and acquisition activity for impairment when events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In assessing fair value, we make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, and discount rates based on our business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying these factors. Factors that could lead to impairment of goodwill, amortizable intangible assets and other assets acquired via acquisitions include significant adverse changes in the business climate and actual or projected operating results (affecting our company as a whole or affecting any particular segment) and declines in the financial condition of our business. For example, in connection with preparing our financial statements for the quarterquarters ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2025 and June 30, 20242025, and the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we identified certain indicators of impairment and recorded a goodwill impairment of $154.2$12.4 million related to the TriLink BioTechnologies reporting unitunit, and of $11.9$30.4 million related to the Alphazyme reporting unit, respectively,and bothintangible asset impairment of $27.8 million primarily related to the Alphazyme asset group, all within our nucleic acid productionTriLink segment.
Changes in accounting principles and guidance could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These principles are subject to interpretation by the SEC and various bodies formed to create and interpret appropriate accounting principles and guidance. A change in these principles or guidance, or in their interpretations, may have a material effect on our reported results, as well as our processes and related controls, and may retroactively affect previously reported results.
RevenueWhile we had no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from our largest customers were 20.8%, 19.3%20.8% and 61.2%19.3% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. The revenue attributable to our top customers has fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. In addition, the termination of these relationships, including following any failure to renew a long-term contract, could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenue. See also “—The extent and duration of our revenue associated with high-volume sales of CleanCap® for commercial phase vaccine programs is uncertain and are dependent, in important respects, on factors outside our control.”
We rely on certain distributors in order to market and sell our products and services in in certain international markets, particularly our biologics safety testing products and services in China. Our distributor in China accounted for 4.6% of our total revenues in the year ended December 31, 2024.markets. If we are unable to maintain thisthese distributordistributors or enter into a similar arrangementarrangements with anotherother distributor,distributors, or our current or future distributors do not perform adequately, our revenues and results of operations would likely be adversely impacted, at least temporarily. Additionally, changes in the inventory levels of our products owned and held by our distributors can result in significant variability in our revenues. Furthermore, our revenues from such distributors could be negatively impacted by macroeconomic conditions specific to the geographic markets in which our products and services are marketed and sold, geopolitical risks and other risks described below under “We are subject to financial, operating, legal and compliance risks associated with global operations.”
Certain of our raw materials are sourced from a limited number of suppliers and some materials, including a proprietary DNA reagent, certain packaging materials, specific cell lines for Cygnus Technologies’ operations and certain raw materials used in our nucleic acid productionTriLink products, as well as those raw materials sold under the Glen Research brand, are sole sourced. Delays or difficulties in securing these raw materials or other laboratory materials could result in an interruption in our production operations if we cannot obtain an acceptable substitute. In recent years, global supply chains have faced challenges, including material availability, global logistics delays and constraints arising from, among other things, the transportation capacity of ocean shipping containers. More recently, geopolitical instability and U.S. foreign trade policy, including the imposition or threatened imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions, could increase macroeconomic uncertainty at a global level and lead to supply chain constraints and delays. Any interruption of our supply chain could significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. While we may identify other suppliers, raw materials furnished by such replacement suppliers may require us to alter our production operations or perform extensive validations, which may be time consuming and expensive. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure alternative materials and revalidate them without experiencing interruptions in our workflow. If we should encounter delays or difficulties in obtaining raw materials, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be adversely affected.
We make certain of our products available to customers as research-use-only (“RUO”) products. RUO products are regulated by the FDA as medical devices, and include in vitro diagnostic products in the laboratory research phase of development that are being shipped or delivered for an investigation that is not subject to the FDA’s investigational device exemption requirements. Although medical devices are subject to stringent FDA oversight, products that are intended for RUO and are labeled as RUO are exempt from compliance with most FDA requirements, including premarket clearance or approval, manufacturing requirements, and others. A product labeled RUO but which is actually intended for clinical diagnostic use may be viewed by the FDA as adulterated and misbranded under the FDCA, and subject to FDA enforcement action. The FDA has indicated that when determining the intended use of a product labeled RUO, the FDA will consider the totality of the circumstances surrounding distribution and use of the product, including how the product is marketed and to whom. The FDA could disagree with our assessment that our products are properly marketed as RUO, or could conclude that products labeled as RUO are actually intended for clinical diagnostic use, and could take enforcement action against us, including requiring us to stop distribution of our products until we are in compliance with applicable regulations, which would reduce our revenue, increase our costs and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. In the event that the FDA requires us to obtain marketing authorization of our RUO products in the future, there can be no assurance that the FDA will grant any clearance or approval requested by us in a timely manner, or at all.
Various foreign countries in which we operate also have, or are developing, laws that govern the collection, use, disclosure, security and cross-border transmission of personal information. For example, in the European Union (the “EU”) and the United Kingdom, the collection and use of personal data is governed by the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), in addition to other applicable laws and regulations. The GDPR came into effect in May 2018,and2018, and has resulted in, and will continue to result in, significantly greater compliance burdens and costs for companies like us. Any data security breach could require notifications to the data subject and/or owners under U.S. federal, U.S. state, and/or international data breach notification laws and regulations. Other jurisdictions outside the EU are similarly introducing or enhancing privacy and data security laws, rules and regulations, which could increase our compliance costs and the risks associated with noncompliance. We cannot guarantee that we are, or will be, in compliance with all applicable international regulations as they are enforced now or as they evolve.
Companies across all industries and around the globe are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their ESG policies, initiatives and activities by investors, lenders, customers, government regulators and other market participants. More recently, certain ESG policies, initiatives and activities have become politicized, with ideologically opposing perspectives, such that companies may find themselves unable to satisfactorily consider or address one stakeholder’s concerns without creating concerns among another set of stakeholders with an opposing viewpoint. If we are unable to meet our ESG initiatives or evolving investor, industry, or customer expectations and standards,standards with respect to their ESG-related expectations and requirements, we are perceived to have not responded adequately on any number of ESG matters, or we draw scrutiny from certain people or groups with an opposing viewpoint, we risk damage to our brand and reputation, adverse impacts to our ability to secure governmentcustomer contracts, decreased desirability of our common stock to certain investors, or limited access to capital markets and other sources of financing..financing.
There is no guarantee that any ESG or sustainability goals set forth in our ESGsustainability initiatives will be achieved on the desired timeframe or at all, and the achievement of any such goals may require the incurrence of additional costs or the implementation of operational changes, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
As discussed in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in thisour Annual Report on Form 10-K,10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we determined that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 required restatement primarily to correct an error we identified relating to the timing of revenue recognition for a product sale with non-standard contractual terms. Assessment of the error and the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting, the resulting restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted periods, and the ongoingrelated processsecurities oflitigation, and remediating the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting have diverted management’s attention and caused us to incur significant unanticipated expenses for legal, audit and other professional services fees. The restatement and the associated non-reliance on our previously issued quarterly financial statements and other related financial information could also cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting and harm our reputation, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. We are currently subject to a putative securities class action lawsuit, and face the potential for additional, litigation or regulatory inquiries in connection with or related to the restatement and associated material weaknesses, including claims involving the U.S. federal securities laws. Litigation and any regulatory inquiries are likely to divert management’s time and attention and, regardless of the outcome of such litigation, we will incur legal and other costs of defense, which could be significant. Further, if we do not prevail in the litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, if we fail to remediate these material weaknesses in a timely manner or at all, we may not be able to comply with our financial reporting obligations, which could expose us to additional legal and business risks and uncertainties.
As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified the following material weaknesses as of December 31, 2024:
•we did not design and operate effective controls over the Company’s revenue process; and
•we did not operate effective controls over the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment assessment.
The material weaknesses related to our revenue process resulted in the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As a result of the material weaknesses, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024. While we are actively engaged in the process of designing and implementing a plan, including appropriate controls, to remediate the identified material weaknesses, there can be no assurance that our actions will fully remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, if at all. The implementation of remediation measures will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the respective controls over several financial reporting cycles. If the actions we take do not sufficiently remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately could be adversely affected, and there may continue to be a reasonable possibility that these control deficiencies, or others, could result in an additional material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If this occurs, it could jeopardize our ability to comply with our financial reporting obligations, including under SEC rules and regulations, NASDAQ listing standards and the financial covenants under our credit agreement, and expose us to additional risks as further discussed below.
As noted above and further disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of thisour Annual Report,Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024,and2024, and as a result, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2024. WhileDuring the year ended December 31, 2025, under the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, we are actively engaged incompleted the processimplementation of designingour appropriateremediation plan and enhanced the design and operation of controls to address thesethe previously identified material weaknesses,weaknesses. The applicable controls have been in place for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls operated effectively and the material weaknesses described above have been remediated. However, there can be no assurance that the actions will fully remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner or that therewe will not beidentify additional material weaknesses inor oursignificant internal control over financial reportingdeficiencies in the future. If we areidentify unable to remediate the identifiedadditional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in athe timely manner, or at all,future, or are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to comply with our financial reporting obligations, could be adversely impacted.

Acquisition of Molecular Assemblies
In January 2025, we completed the acquisition of assets from Molecular Assemblies, Inc. (“Molecular”) expanding TriLink’s ability to enable customers to develop next-generation mRNA and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats nucleic acid-based therapies, for a total purchase consideration of $11.2 million. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
In February 2025, we completed the acquisition of the DNA and RNA business of Officinae Bio (“Officinae”), a privately held technology company with a proprietary digital platform designed with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to support the biological design of therapeutics. We acquired Officinae for a total purchase consideration of $15.1 million. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Executive Leadership Transition
On June 8, 2025, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Bernd Brust as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and on June 22, 2025, the Board appointed Rajesh Asarpota as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (these appointments are collectively referred to herein as the “Executive Leadership Transition”).
2025 Corporate Realignment Plan
Following the Executive Leadership Transition, we began conducting a comprehensive strategic review of our business operations and resource requirements. In August 2025, we implemented a corporate realignment plan (the “2025 Corporate Realignment Plan”) that included the termination of approximately 25% of the Company’s workforce, a phased reduction of the Company’s facilities footprint, and other actions designed to significantly reduce operating costs and focus our resources on projects that we believe will deliver sustainable long-term growth, including improving our e-commerce presence. The reduction in force was substantially completed as of November 4, 2025, following the end of the sixty-day notification period required by the WARN Act. The Company is implementing the remaining aspects of the 2025 Corporate Realignment Plan using a phased approach, with completion anticipated by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred restructuring costs of $19.5 million, primarily related to severance and other employee-related costs, asset impairments, and professional fees.
The 2025 Corporate Realignment Plan was anticipated to lower our annualized expenses by more than $50.0 million, through reductions in headcount and non-headcount-related expenses. Since implementing the 2025 Corporate Realignment Plan, we have identified even greater savings and now anticipate we will lower our annualized expenses by more than $65.0 million.
We are currently unable to estimate the total costs associated with the phased reduction of our facilities. These costs may include, but are not limited to, losses on subleases, contract termination fees, additional asset impairments, losses on the sale or disposal of equipment or other long-lived assets, professional fees and other costs and fees pertaining to the consolidation, closure, or disposition of facilities. Additional costs, which could be material, may be incurred as we implement and progress through the phases of our restructuring plan.
See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Intangible Asset Impairment
In connection with preparing our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we evaluated the recoverability of our long-lived assets (including finite-lived intangible assets) in response to impairment indicators identified during the Company’s forecast process. As of December 31, 2025, our long-term forecast reflected lower projected revenues due to lower anticipated demand in enzyme products within our Alphazyme asset group. As such, we performed a recoverability test and concluded that the carrying value of this intangible asset group exceeded its fair value. As a result, we recorded intangible asset impairment totaling $25.8 million on the consolidated statements of operations.
Voluntary Prepayments on Term Loan
In December 2024, we voluntarily pre-paid, using cash on hand, $228.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the $600.0 million term loan facility provided under our credit agreement (“Term Loan”). There were no prepayment penalties associated with this prepayment of principal. As a result of the prepayment, we wrote off a portion of pre-existing deferred financing costs associated with the Term Loan.
Acquisition of Assets and Intellectual Property from Molecular Assemblies
In January 2025, we acquired assets and intellectual property from Molecular Assemblies, expanding TriLink’s ability to enable customers to develop next-generation mRNA and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats nucleic acid-based therapies. The total consideration for this acquisition was a purchase price of $11.5 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
In February 2025, we completed the acquisition of the DNA and RNA business of Officinae Bio (“Officinae”), a privately held technology company with a proprietary digital platform designed with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to support the biological design of therapeutics. The total consideration to acquire Officinae consisted of a base cash provisional purchase price of $10.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and potential contingent consideration payments of up to $35.0 million, with $5.0 million of such contingent consideration payable in cash upon the achievement of a certain milestone and up to an additional $30.0 million payable in a mix of cash and shares of our Class A common stock upon the achievement of certain milestones.

Ongoing geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding U.S. global trade policy, including the imposition of increased tariffs, trade restrictions and retaliatory actions, may also negatively impact future demand for our products and services, our customers’ ability to commit funds to purchase our products and services, and in turn, our future revenues derived from those markets, particularly if such tariffs are not lifted or significantly reduced from their current levels. See more information under Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy.”
While we believe that the long-term trend of biopharmaceutical customers relying on outside parties to provide important inputs and services for their clinical research and manufacturing remains a long-term growth driver for us, lower demand for research and discovery products within our Nucleic Acid Production business coupled with slower than expected mRNA clinical trial progressions negatively impacted our revenue and operating results in the year ended December 31, 2024, which trend may continue and result in slower growth and/or cause a further decline in our revenues in the future.
Our businesses also continue to see headwinds from a general contraction in economic activity in Asia, particularly in China, which may negatively impact our revenue derived from those markets. See more information under Part I, Item 1. Business.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that we define as net (loss) income adjusted for interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash and other items, that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the financial performance of our business and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this performance measure is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industryindustry, and theyit facilitatefacilitates comparisons of performance on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, we believe this performance measure is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because it excludes items that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of the financial covenant under our credit agreement that governs our ability to access more than $58.5 million in aggregate letters of credit and available borrowings under the $167.0 million revolving credit facility provided under our credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In addition, if we borrow more than $58.5 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a specified net leverage ratio. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Agreement” below for a discussion of this financial covenant.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP-basednon-GAAP measure and therefore, may have limitations as an analytical tooltool, andso youit should not considerbe itconsidered in isolation,isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We may in the future incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, we expect to incur meaningful share-based compensation expense in the future. Other limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA dodoes not reflect include:
•the costs of replacing the assets being depreciated, which will often have to be replaced in the future; and
•the non-cash component of employee compensation expense; and

Voluntary Prepayments on Term Loan
In February 2026, we voluntarily pre-paid, using cash on hand, $50.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. There were no prepayment penalties associated with this prepayment of principal. As a result of the prepayment, we wrote off a portion of pre-existing deferred financing costs associated with the Term Loan.
While revenue attributable to high-volume orders of our proprietary CleanCap® analogs for commercial phase COVID-19 vaccine programs returned in thisthe quarter,first quarter of 2026, representing $14.3 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not recognize any revenue attributable to high-volume CleanCap orders in the second quarter of 2026 and do not anticipate any further high-volume CleanCap orders for commercial phase COVID-19 vaccine programs for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2026. Therefore, the three months ended March 31, 2026, is expected to be the highest revenue quarter of the year.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that we define as net loss adjusted for interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortizationdepreciation and stock-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to eliminate the impact of certain items, includingamortization, certain non-cash items and other items,adjustments that we do not consider representativein our evaluation of our ongoing operating performance.performance from period to period.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the financial performance of our business and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this performance measure is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and theyit facilitatefacilitates comparisons of performance on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, we believe this performance measure is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because it excludes items that are not indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of the financial covenant under our Credit Agreement that governs our ability to access more than $58.5 million in aggregate letters of credit and available borrowings under the $167.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure andand, therefore, may have limitations as an analytical tool, so it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We may in the future incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, we expect to incur meaningful share-based compensation expense in the future. Other limitations that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect include:
