Management Comments "Our second quarter results fell short of our expectations, reflecting both execution gaps and a more cautious demand environment, particularly in North America," said John Marotta, President and CEO of Azenta Life Sciences. "As a result, we have revised our fiscal 2026 outlook and taken decisive actions to strengthen execution, reinforce operational discipline, and improve visibility across the business. At the same time, we saw areas of resilience, including continued growth in Sample Repository Solutions and Consumables and Instruments, reinforcing the strength of our recurring revenue offerings. In 2026, our priority is the transformation of our Multiomics business, with a focus on strengthening commercial execution, optimizing our operating footprint, and improving productivity through Azenta Business System. We have strengthened leadership and are increasing operational rigor to drive greater accountability and consistency across the organization. Given the updated 2026 outlook, we are extending the timeline of our long‑range plan targets from 2028 to 2029. This reflects a disciplined and prudent approach to execution in the current environment and, while postponing achievement of the financial targets, does not change our confidence in our strategy. While near‑term conditions remain measured, we continue to see a compelling long‑term market opportunity and believe the actions underway position Azenta for improved execution, greater consistency, and profitable long‑term value creation." Second Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results - Continuing Operations Revenue was $145 million, up 1% year over year. Organic revenue, which excludes a 3-percentage point impact from foreign exchange and a 1-percentage point from the acquisition of UK Biocentre Limited, declined 3% year over year, reflecting lower revenue in Multiomics and in Sample Management Solutions. Sample Management Solutions revenue was $81 million, up 2% over year. Organic revenue, which excludes the impact from foreign exchange and the contribution from the acquisition of UK Biocentre Limited, declined 3%, mainly driven by lower revenue in Core Products, particularly in Automated Stores and Cryogenic Systems, partially offset by higher revenue in Sample Repository Solutions, Product Services and Consumables and Instruments. Multiomics revenue was $64 million, flat year over year. Organic revenue, which excludes the impact from foreign exchange, was down 2% year over year, primarily driven by lower Sanger Sequencing revenue, partially offset by higher revenue in Next Generation Sequencing and Gene Synthesis. Summary of GAAP Earnings Results - Continuing Operations Operating loss was $165.8 million. Operating margin was (114.5%), down 102% year over year. Gross margin was 42.8%, down 96 basis points year over year, driven by lower fixed-cost absorption from reduced volumes in North America, as well as costs related to Automated Stores rework, and an increase in inventory reserves recorded during the period. Operating expenses in the quarter were $228 million, up 181% year-over-year, primarily driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $149 million. The increase also reflects higher research and development expenses, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower restructuring charges. Total other income included $4 million of net interest income and $4 million gain related to the non-cash settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship with UK Biocentre Limited, versus $4 million and $1 million, respectively, in the prior year period. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was ($3.41) compared to ($0.43) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Diluted EPS from discontinued operations was ($0.08), compared to ($0.61) a year ago. Total diluted EPS was ($3.49), compared to ($1.04) a year ago. Summary of Non-GAAP Earnings Results - Continuing Operations Adjusted operating loss was $7.0 million. Adjusted operating margin was (4.9%), a decrease of 300 basis points year over year. Adjusted gross margin was 44.3%, down 110 basis points compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by lower fixed-cost absorption from reduced volumes in North America, costs related to Automated Stores rework, and an increase in inventory reserves recorded during the period. Adjusted operating expenses in the quarter were $71 million, up 5% year over year, driven by higher research and development costs and higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.4%, a decrease of 320 basis points year over year. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS was ($0.04), compared to $0.01 one year ago. Cash and Liquidity as of March 31, 2026 The Company ended the quarter with a total balance of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $565 million. Operating cash flow was $12 million in the quarter. Capital expenditures were $7 million, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $5 million. Share Repurchase Program Update On December 8, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock through December 31, 2028, or 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 accelerated share repurchase agreement), or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, subject to market and business conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. We are 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 our discretion. As of the date of this press release , there have been no repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program. Updated Fiscal 2026 Guidance – Continuing Operations The Company now expects total reported revenue from continuing operations to range between approximately $603 to $621 million for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. Total organic revenue, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange and the contribution from the acquisition of UK Biocentre Limited, is now expected to range between down approximately 2% to up 1% relative to fiscal 2025, compared to prior guidance of 3% to 5% growth. Organic revenue for Sample Management Solutions is now expected to grow approximately low-single-digits, versus prior expectations of mid-single-digit growth. Organic revenue for Multiomics is now expected to decline approximately mid-single-digits, versus prior expectations of low-single-digit growth. Adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to decline in a range of approximately 125 basis points to flat relative to fiscal 2025, compared to prior expectations of approximately 300 basis points expansion. This outlook excludes an expected dilution of approximately 35 basis points from the UK Biocentre acquisition. Free Cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) is now expected to improve approximately 10% to 15% year-over-year, compared to prior expectations of approximately 30% improvement. Long-Range Plan Update In connection with the revised 2026 outlook, the Company is extending the timeline of its long-range plan by one year, from 2028 to 2029. The Company continues to believe in the strength of its market opportunities, strategic priorities, and long-term value creation framework. 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. As previously disclosed, the transaction was expected to close on or before March 31, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the buyer securing required financing. On March 27, 2026, the Company was informed by Thelema that it has not yet secured the financing required to complete the transaction and, as a result, the transaction did not close by March 31, 2026. Thelema has indicated that it requires additional time to complete its financing arrangements. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including the buyer securing the required financing, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on a revised timeline or at all. The parties have not amended or terminated the agreement as of the date of this press release. 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 second quarter fiscal 2026 earnings conference call on May 06, 2026 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 and supplemental information referenced on the call, will be hosted at the Investor Relations section of Azenta's website at https://investors.azenta.com/events . The supplemental information is being posted at the time of this earnings release, and the presentation materials will be posted ahead of the earnings call. A replay of the webcast will be archived on the website for convenient on-demand access. 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.

(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) Represents a non-cash goodwill impairment charge recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as a result of the Company's quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of March 31, 2026, including $112.4 million for the Multiomics reporting unit and $36.6 million for the Sample Management Solutions reporting unit. (3) Includes expenses related to governance-related matters. (4) The Company recognized $3.9 million non-cash gain from the settlement of the pre-existing contractual relationship with UK Biocentre Limited in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company received $2.1 million of cash proceeds from a cost method investment which had no cost basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. These are non-recurring and non-operational gains. (5) Tax adjustments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 are primarily driven by $6.4 million of tax expenses related to a one-time repatriation of historical earnings from China.
