Standard BioTools (NASDAQ: LAB) posts Q1 2026 profit on SomaScan sale windfall

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Standard BioTools Inc. reported Q1 2026 results showing modest growth in its core tools business and a large one-time gain from selling its SomaScan proteomics business to Illumina.

Revenue from continuing operations was $21.1 million, up 5% year over year, driven by 35% higher consumables sales, while instrument revenue fell 33%. The company posted a net loss from continuing operations of $14.6 million but overall net income of $127.1 million due to a $172.3 million pre-tax gain on the SomaScan sale, recorded in discontinued operations.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments rose to about $526.5 million, reflecting $363.2 million of cash proceeds from the divestiture plus a $25.0 million contingent receivable and potential future earnouts up to $50.0 million. Operating expenses declined 37% as restructuring and prior-year integration efforts reduced R&D and SG&A, though the company continues to incur restructuring charges. The filing also notes a Nasdaq minimum bid-price deficiency notice, creating a risk of future delisting if compliance is not restored.

Positive

• SomaScan divestiture significantly strengthened the balance sheet, generating $363.2M of cash, a $25.0M contingent receivable, potential earnouts up to $50.0M, and a $172.3M pre-tax gain, lifting cash, cash equivalents and investments to about $526.5M.
• Core continuing operations showed improving efficiency, with revenue up 5% year over year, gross profit up 2%, and total operating expenses reduced by 37% as R&D and SG&A declined following restructuring.

Negative

• Continuing operations remain unprofitable, with a Q1 2026 net loss from continuing operations of $14.6M and other expense impacted by $3.5M of unrealized losses on equity investments.
• Nasdaq listing is at risk after a minimum bid-price deficiency notice on April 20, 2026; failure to regain compliance by the October 19, 2026 deadline could lead to delisting and reduced share liquidity.

Insights

Equity analyst – life science tools

Core tools grew modestly, SomaScan sale transformed the balance sheet but raised strategic and listing risks.

Standard BioTools generated Q1 2026 revenue of $21.1M from continuing operations, up 5%, with growth concentrated in consumables while instrument sales declined. Operating expenses fell 37% as R&D and SG&A were reduced following 2025 restructuring.

The completed SomaScan divestiture to Illumina produced a pre-tax gain of $172.3M and cash proceeds of $363.2M, plus a $25.0M contingent receivable and potential $50.0M earnout. This lifted cash, cash equivalents and investments to about $526.5M, giving substantial financial flexibility while the core mass cytometry and microfluidics businesses remain loss-making.

Key uncertainties now center on execution with a streamlined business, realization of contingent consideration and royalties, and managing market perception after receiving a Nasdaq minimum bid-price deficiency notice effective until October 19, 2026. Subsequent filings will show whether cost reductions and reinvestment of SomaScan proceeds meaningfully narrow continuing-operating losses.

Key Terms

discontinued operations, contingent earnout payments, restructuring and related charges, deferred revenue, +2 more

6 terms

discontinued operations financial

"The Company has classified the results of the SomaScan Business as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated statements of operations"

Discontinued operations are parts of a company that it has decided to sell or shut down, and no longer plans to run in the future. This matters to investors because it helps them understand which parts of the business are ongoing and which are being phased out, providing a clearer picture of the company’s current performance and future prospects. Think of it like a store closing a department—it no longer contributes to sales or profits.

contingent earnout payments financial

"eligible to receive additional contingent earnout payments of up to $50.0 million based on the achievement of specified revenue thresholds"

restructuring and related charges financial

"Restructuring and related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $1.5 million"

Restructuring and related charges are one-time costs a company records when it reorganizes operations—such as laying off staff, closing facilities, ending leases, or writing down assets—to become more efficient. Investors watch these charges because they reduce reported profit now but can signal future savings or ongoing risks; like paying for a house remodel, the short-term hit may lead to lower long-term expenses, so distinguishing one-off costs from recurring problems is key.

deferred revenue financial

"Deferred revenue at March 31, 2026 was $12,994"

Cash a company has already received for goods or services it has promised but not yet delivered; it's recorded as a liability because the company still owes that product, service, or future revenue recognition. For investors, deferred revenue signals upcoming work or deliveries that will convert into reported sales over time and affects short-term obligations, cash flow quality, and how quickly a firm can grow recognized revenue—think of it like prepaid subscriptions or gift cards a business must honor later.

valuation allowance financial

"The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets"

A valuation allowance is a reserve set aside to reduce the value of certain assets on a company's financial records when there is uncertainty about whether they will generate the expected benefits. It acts like a caution sign, indicating that some assets might not be fully recoverable or worth their recorded amount. This matters to investors because it provides a more realistic picture of a company's financial health and potential risks.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2026

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Standard BioTools Inc. (“Standard BioTools” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Company develops, manufactures and sells a diversified range of instrumentation, consumables, and services that help scientists and biomedical researchers develop better therapeutics faster. Its proprietary multi-omics tools provide unique insights into human health, immune response, and disease states across a broad range of applications, including proteomics and genomics, and other areas of translational and clinical research.

The Company works with leading academic, government, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, plant and animal research, and clinical laboratories worldwide, focusing on the most pressing needs in translational and clinical research, including oncology, immunology, and immunotherapy.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding financial reporting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2026, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from the Company's audited annual financial statements included in the Annual Report but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Financial Statements") included in the Company's Annual Report.

On June 22, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Illumina. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Illumina acquired all of the equity interests of SomaLogic, Inc. ("SomaLogic"), Sengenics Corporation LLC and Sengenics Corporation Pte Ltd (collectively, the "Disposed Entities"), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that operates the Company's aptamer-based and functional proteomics business, including KREX, Single SOMAmer, translational and diagnostic assays (collectively, the "SomaScan Business") (such transaction, the "Transaction"). The Transaction does not include the Company's mass cytometry and microfluidics businesses, which were retained by the Company. The Transaction closed on January 30, 2026. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional information.

Consistent with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company classifies disposal groups as held-for-sale in the reporting period when all the held-for-sale classification criteria are met. Disposal groups held for sale are presented as discontinued operations when the disposal represents a strategic shift with a major effect on operations, and the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the rest of the entity. Upon classification as held-for-sale, assets and liabilities are presented as held-for-sale and measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and upon classification as discontinued operations, results of operations are reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company determined that the SomaScan Business met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria in the second quarter of 2025. The Company completed the sale of the SomaScan Business on January 30, 2026. Accordingly, the Company has classified the results of the SomaScan Business as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the SomaScan Business were classified as held-for-sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. Upon closing of the Transaction on January 30, 2026, the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities of the SomaScan Business and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $172.3 million, which is

6

reflected in income from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The discussions in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relate solely to the Company's continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. For further discussion of the discontinued operations related to the SomaScan Business, refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026.

Segment Reporting

The Company identifies operating and reportable segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is its CODM. The Company reassesses its operating segments when facts and circumstances suggest that there may have been a change in the way that the Company is managed.

The CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis, as a multi-omics company. Therefore, the Company concluded it has one operating and reportable segment: the consolidated company.

The segment information presented reflects the Company's continuing operations and excludes discontinued operations. See Note 11, Segment Reporting, for more information on the reportable segment.

Contingent Consideration Receivable

Contingent consideration arrangements arising from the disposal of a business are evaluated to determine whether the arrangement meets the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815. When the arrangement qualifies for a scope exception under ASC 815 or does not meet the definition of a derivative, the Company has elected to recognize contingent consideration when it is determined to be realizable in accordance with ASC 450. Any gains or losses from the subsequent accounting for contingent consideration are recognized within the same financial statement line item as the original gain or loss on the sale.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions which form the basis of amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the identification of performance obligations in contracts with customers; standalone selling prices of the Company's performance obligations; timing of revenue recognition; fair value measurements; net realizable value of inventory; income taxes; and impairment of long-lived assets (property and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets). The Company bases its estimates on current facts and circumstances, historical experience, forecasted results, and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. The Company obtains reports from third-party valuation experts to inform and support estimates related to certain fair value measurements.

Recent Accounting Changes and Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

In July 2025, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”), which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods and should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2026 and elected to utilize the practical expedient. The adoption of the ASU and the election of the practical expedient did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires additional disclosure of the nature of the expenses included in the income statement, including disaggregation of the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement into specific categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The new standard modernizes the recognition and disclosure framework for capitalized internal-use software costs, removing the previous "development" stage model and introducing a judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The new standard provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. ASU 2025-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Discontinued Operations

On June 22, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Illumina for the divestiture of the SomaScan Business. On January 30, 2026, the Company completed the sale of the Disposed Entities to Illumina pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Disposed Entities comprised the Company's SomaScan Business, including its SomaScan assay platform and related products and services. The Company retained its mass cytometry and microfluidics businesses, which were not part of the Transaction.

At closing, the Company received net cash consideration of $363.2 million and recognized $25.0 million of consideration receivable based on the achievement of specified revenue thresholds during fiscal year 2025, for total net consideration of $388.2 million. The total consideration is subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive additional contingent earnout payments of up to $50.0 million based on the achievement of specified revenue thresholds for SomaScan assay services and related products during fiscal year 2026. The Company will recognize the contingent earnout consideration as it becomes realizable.

The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $172.3 million on the sale, calculated as the excess of the fair value of consideration received and consideration receivable over the carrying value of the net assets of the Disposed Entities, including allocated goodwill. As a result of this gain, the Company recognized $39.2 million of income tax expense. The gain and income tax expense are reflected in income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

In connection with the closing, the Company and Illumina entered into (i) a royalty agreement, pursuant to which the Company is entitled to a specified royalty stream on net revenues generated from sales of SOMAmer-based next-generation sequencing library preparation kits, (ii) a license agreement, pursuant to which Illumina provided a specified license to the Company for the intellectual property relating to Single SOMAmers for potential development and commercialization of Single SOMAmer reagents for use in single plex affinity assays, and (iii) a royalty agreement, pursuant to which the Company is entitled to a specified royalty stream on net revenues generated from sales of Single SOMAmers. The royalty rates are low- to mid-single digit percentages. The royalty arrangements described in (i) and (iii) are considered to be contingent consideration for the sale of the SomaScan Business. The Company has elected to account for this contingent consideration as a gain contingency under ASC 450-30 and will recognize royalty income when it is realized or becomes realizable.

As a result of the closing of the Transaction, the Company no longer has any subsidiary that is a party to the collaboration agreement that the Company previously entered into with Illumina in December 2021 (the “Collaboration Agreement”), and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is entitled to any royalties or other payments under the Collaboration Agreement.

The results of operations of the Disposed Entities are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following tables summarize the financial results of the discontinued operations:

(1)During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized revenue of $29.8 million related to the transaction price under the Collaboration Agreement with Illumina, which primarily reflects the release of the deferred revenue balance previously established under the Collaboration Agreement upon the sale of the SomaScan Business. The Company has classified the $29.8 million within discontinued operations consistent with the treatment of all SomaScan Business-related activities. Out of the $29.8 million recognized, $0.6 million reflects Illumina’s exercise of its material right to be provided with SOMAmer reagents for commercialization of the co-branded kits.

Legal Proceedings

Stockholder Litigation

In December 2023, prior to the Company's merger with SomaLogic, a complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against SomaLogic and certain of its officers and directors alleging breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the proposed merger. The Company assumed this litigation upon closing of the merger in January 2024 and retained it following the sale of the SomaScan Business to Illumina in January 2026. A three-day bench trial is scheduled to commence on March 8, 2027, and discovery is ongoing. The Company has not recorded any contingent liabilities related to this matter. The Company does not believe the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Palamedrix Litigation

On July 2, 2025, Shareholder Representative Services LLC ("SRS"), acting as the representative of the securityholders of Palamedrix, Inc. ("Palamedrix"), filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against SomaLogic asserting that SomaLogic breached the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 25, 2022, by failing to continue investing in the development of certain Palamedrix technology. SRS claims that SomaLogic would have been required to pay up to $17.5 million in sales-based milestone payments. SomaLogic's motion to compel arbitration was denied, and the matter is proceeding into discovery. The Company is obligated to indemnify Illumina for losses arising from this matter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has accrued $3.3 million related to this indemnification obligation.

General

The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the final outcome of any currently pending matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

8. Stock-based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in the Annual Report. Under these plans, the Company has the ability to grant several forms of incentive awards to the Company's eligible employees, directors, and non-employee consultants.

Stock-based compensation expense is reported in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands):

14

Stock-based compensation will fluctuate based on the grant-date fair value of awards, the number of awards, the requisite service period of the awards, employee forfeitures and the timing of the awards.

RSUs, PSUs, stock options, restricted shares and ESPP shares			56,646				58,250
2014 Notes			5				5
Warrants			11,692				11,692
Total			68,343				69,947

10. Income Taxes

The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The quarterly provision for income taxes also includes discrete items, such as changes in valuation allowances or adjustments upon finalization of tax returns as well as infrequently occurring items, if any, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $11 thousand and income tax benefit of $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the Company's tax expense reflects higher minimum tax expense for the various States that the Company operates in, as well as the effect of the Company's foreign operations, which reported higher pre-tax income in the first three months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods differ from the 21% U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on domestic losses and the tax rate differences between the United States and foreign countries. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

11. Segment Reporting

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has one operating and reportable segment. The CODM utilizes the Company's annual operating plan, primarily consisting of an annual financial forecast, as a key input to resource allocation. The CODM makes decisions on resource allocation and assesses performance of the business using net income/loss from continuing operations.

The significant expenses within net loss that are regularly provided to the CODM include cost of revenue and operating expenses. Operating expenses consist of four main subcategories: research and development; selling, general and administrative; transaction and integration; and restructuring and related. All significant expense categories and subcategories are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items within net loss include the following:

•Depreciation and amortization expense, which is separately presented on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows

15

•Change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is separately presented on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows

•Interest income and interest expense, which are separately presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations

See Note 3, Revenue and Geographic Area, for the Company's revenue by geography.

12. Restructuring and Related Charges

The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s restructuring and other related liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (in thousands):

		Severance and other employee- related benefits(1)				Facility Costs				Other(2)				Total
Balance at December 31, 2025			2,916				—				—				2,916
Restructuring and related charges			1,267				1,625				188				3,080
Cash payments			(2,523	)			(1,625	)			(188	)			(4,336	)
Balance at March 31, 2026		$	1,660			$	—			$	—			$	1,660

(1)Restructuring liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all severance and other employee-related benefits related to ongoing benefit arrangements and were recorded pursuant to ASC 712, Termination and Other Postemployment Benefits.

(2)Other restructuring liabilities are comprised mainly of sublease commissions and are recorded in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

13. Related Parties

In December 2025, the Company invested $5.0 million in unsecured convertible loan notes issued by a privately-held life sciences company. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum, mature in December 2027, and are subordinated to the issuer's senior indebtedness. The notes automatically convert into equity upon a qualified financing of at least $20 million or an initial public offering with gross proceeds of at least $100 million, in each case at a 20% discount to the applicable offering price. At maturity, any outstanding principal and accrued interest automatically convert into preferred shares at a conversion price based on a valuation cap of eight times the issuer's trailing 12-month revenue. The Company invested in the notes alongside a fund associated with Eli Casdin, a member of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s principal stockholder.

Recent Developments

Divestiture

On June 22, 2025, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Illumina, Inc. (“Illumina”) pursuant to which Illumina acquired all of the equity interests of SomaLogic, Inc. (“SomaLogic”), Sengenics Corporation LLC and Sengenics Corporation Pte Ltd (collectively, the “Disposed Entities”), each an owned subsidiary that operated our aptamer-based and functional proteomics business, including KREX, Single SOMAmer, translational and diagnostic assays (collectively, the “SomaScan Business”) (such transaction, the “Transaction”). The Transaction did not include our mass cytometry and microfluidics businesses, which we retained. The Transaction closed on January 30, 2026.

At closing, we received net cash consideration of $363.2 million and recognized $25.0 million of consideration receivable based on the achievement of specified revenue thresholds during fiscal year 2025, for total net consideration of $388.2 million. The total consideration is subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital. In addition, we are eligible to receive additional contingent earnout payments of up to $50.0 million based on the achievement of specified revenue thresholds for SomaScan assay services and related products during fiscal year 2026. We will recognize the contingent earnout consideration as it is realized.

In addition, at the closing of the Transaction, as additional consideration, we and Illumina entered into (i) a royalty agreement, pursuant to which we are entitled to a specified royalty stream on net revenues generated from sales of SOMAmer-based next-generation sequencing library preparation kits, (ii) a license agreement, pursuant to which Illumina provided a specified license to us for the intellectual property relating to Single SOMAmers for potential development and commercialization of Single SOMAmer reagents for use in single plex affinity assays, and (iii) a royalty agreement, pursuant to which we are entitled to a specified royalty stream on net revenues generated from sales of Single SOMAmers. The royalty rates are low- to mid-single digit percentages.

Restructuring Activities

17

On August 28, 2025, we initiated a plan to consolidate our South San Francisco-based R&D capabilities into our Singapore facility to co-locate with our manufacturing operations and implemented a reduction in force of certain U.S. employees in our R&D function, including members of our management team. As part of this consolidation, we transferred our headquarters to Boston, Massachusetts and vacated our South San Francisco office on December 31, 2025.

On September 13, 2025, we commenced an additional restructuring plan, including an additional reduction in force to align operating costs with revenue projections for our continuing operations.

Both restructuring actions were designed to improve operational efficiency while supporting the execution of our long-term strategic plan. When combined, the reductions-in-force impacted approximately 20% of our total global workforce.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Instrument Sales

Instrument sales serve as a key indicator of current business performance and provide visibility into future consumables demand. We anticipate continued growth in our installed base as we deepen market penetration and introduce enhanced capabilities that address evolving customer needs.

Our strategy to grow instrument sales includes expanding our global commercial reach, optimizing pricing strategies, and advancing the technological capabilities and applications of our platforms. We actively engage with customers to understand their research priorities and direct our development efforts toward platform enhancements and new applications, which we believe drives adoption of both our instruments and consumables.

Consumables Revenue

Consumables represent a critical component of our revenue model and reflect ongoing customer engagement with our platforms. We monitor consumables trends across our product portfolio and customer segments to inform commercial and development decisions. We expect consumables revenue to grow over time through increased utilization by existing customers, expansion of our installed base, and the introduction of new consumables offerings. Consumables are expected to remain a substantial portion of our total revenue.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We generate our revenue from the sale of products and services. We also derive revenue from collaborative arrangements, license agreements, grants, and royalties. Customers include top biopharmaceutical companies and leading academic research universities. We expect the average selling prices of our products and services to fluctuate over time based on market conditions, product mix and currency fluctuations.

Product revenue

We generate product revenue from the sale of instruments and consumables. Consumables revenue is largely driven by the size of our active installed base of instruments and the level of usage per instrument.

Service revenue

Service revenue primarily consists of post-warranty service contracts, preventive maintenance plans, installation and training for our instruments.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of product revenue

Cost of product revenue consists primarily of raw materials, equipment and production costs, salaries and other personnel costs, overhead and other direct costs related to product revenue. In addition, cost of product revenue includes amortization of developed technology, royalty costs for licensed technologies included in our products, warranty costs, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, and stock-based compensation expense, and shipping and handling costs. Cost of product revenue is recognized in the period the related revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipments are included in cost of product revenue in the consolidated

18

statements of operations. Our cost of product revenue and related product margin may fluctuate depending on the capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities in response to market conditions and the demand for our products.

Cost of service revenue

Cost of service revenue consists of raw materials and production costs, personnel-related costs, overhead and other direct costs. Cost of service revenue is recognized in the period the related revenue is recognized.

Our cost of service revenue and related service margin may fluctuate depending on the variability in material and labor costs of servicing.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs related to enhancing our technologies and supporting development and commercialization of new and existing products and services. R&D expenses also consist of laboratory supply costs, clinical study costs, consulting fees, and other allocated overhead expenses. We plan to continue to invest significantly in our R&D efforts with an expected focus on advancing our products and services. As a result, we expect R&D expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our sales and marketing, business development, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and general management teams, as well as professional services, including legal and accounting services.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Restructuring and related charges primarily consist of severance costs related to our recent reduction-in-force and facilities costs for floors we have subleased or have the intent to sublease (net of sublease income) under our South San Francisco facility lease. These costs, including a reduction in force, are incurred to improve operational efficiency, achieve cost savings and align our workforce to the future needs of the business. When combined, these reductions-in-force impacted approximately 20% of our total global workforce.

Transaction and Integration Expenses

Transaction and integration expenses consist of costs incurred in connection with acquisition- and divestiture-related activities, including legal, advisory, accounting and other transaction-related costs including integration costs.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations represents the results of operations for business components that are classified as held-for-sale and meet the criteria for discontinued operations accounting under ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. This includes the operating results of the discontinued components during the periods presented.

The loss from discontinued operations is presented net of applicable income taxes and includes direct incremental costs associated with the disposal activities, such as legal, advisory, and other transaction-related costs. Any intercompany transactions between continuing and discontinued operations have been eliminated, and certain allocations of corporate overhead and shared costs previously allocated to the discontinued operations have been adjusted to reflect the costs that will be eliminated upon disposal.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Revenue

The following table sets forth revenue by product type, presented in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue ($ in thousands):

		Three Months Ended March 31,																Year-over-Year Change
		2026								2025								$				%
Product revenue:
Instruments		$	4,470				21	%		$	6,646				33	%		$	(2,176	)			(33	)%
Consumables			10,984				52	%			8,135				40	%			2,849				35	%
Total product revenue			15,454				73	%			14,781				73	%			673				5	%
Services and other revenue			5,692				27	%			5,441				27	%			251				5	%
Total revenue		$	21,146				100	%		$	20,222				100	%		$	924				5	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, total revenue increased by $0.9 million, or 5%, compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by higher consumables revenue. These increases were partially offset by a decline in instruments revenue. The decline in instruments revenue reflects continued macroeconomic pressures on customer spending, including budgetary limitations and constrained funding environments that have impacted purchase timing and deal closure rates.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, gross profit, and gross margin were as follows ($ in thousands):

20

		Three Months Ended March 31,								Year-over-Year Change
		2026				2025				$				%
Cost of product revenue		$	7,706			$	6,431			$	1,275				20	%

Gross profit		$	11,308			$	11,049			$	259				2	%
Gross margin			53.5	%			54.6	%		N/A					(1	)%

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross profit increased by $0.3 million, or 2%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to our revenue growth.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were as follows ($ in thousands):

		Three Months Ended March 31,								Year-over-Year Change
		2026				2025				$				%
Research and development		$	2,117			$	5,440			$	(3,323	)			(61	)%
Selling, general and administrative			18,607				29,824				(11,217	)			(38	)%
Restructuring and related charges			3,080				1,552				1,528				98	%

Total operating expenses		$	23,804			$	38,019			$	(14,215	)			(37	)%

Research and Development

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, R&D expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 61%, compared to the prior year period. The reduction in R&D expense was primarily driven by a decrease in personnel-related costs due to restructuring activities undertaken during 2025.

Selling, General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, SG&A expense decreased by $11.2 million, or 38%, compared to the prior year period. The reduction in SG&A expense was primarily driven by a decrease in personnel-related costs due to restructuring activities undertaken during 2025.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Restructuring and related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $1.5 million, or 98%, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by a $0.9 million increase in facilities-related charges associated with the Company's former South San Francisco office, which was vacated in connection with the consolidation of the Company's R&D function into its Singapore facility in 2025. The increase was further driven by $0.9 million of additional severance and related benefits associated with workforce reductions initiated in the prior year, partially offset by lower severance costs from current-period workforce reductions.

Transaction and Integration Expenses

Transaction and integration expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $1.2 million, or 100%, compared to the prior year period. The costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily related to integration efforts which were completed during 2025.

Interest Income, net

Interest income increased by $0.6 million, or 20%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher money market fund and investment balances resulting from cash proceeds received in connection with the sale of the SomaScan Business.

21

Other (Expense) Income, net

Other (expense) income, net decreased by $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by unrealized losses of $3.5 million on our equity investments during the current period. The prior year period also included a $3.4 million gain from the remeasurement of a contingent consideration liability, with no comparable remeasurement activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations

Income (loss) from discontinued operations increased by $144.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the gain on the sale of the SomaScan Business of $172.3 million, which was partially offset by $39.2 million of tax expense associated with the gain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced operating losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit of $1,133.5 million as of March 31, 2026. To date, we have funded our operating losses primarily through acquisitions, divestitures, equity offerings, term loans, convertible notes and redeemable preferred stock. Our ability to fund future operations and meet debt covenant requirements will depend upon our level of future revenue and operating cash flow and our ability to access additional funding through acquisitions, divestitures, equity offerings, or issuances of debt instruments.

Our liquidity and capital requirements depend upon many factors, including market acceptance of our products and services; effectiveness of our business improvement initiatives and restructuring programs; costs of supporting sales growth, product quality, R&D and capital expenditures, including our enterprise resource planning upgrade; and costs and timing of acquiring other businesses, assets or technologies or disposing of our businesses, assets or technologies.

We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements considering our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We expect that our existing liquidity and sources of capital will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and investments. Our collective balances of cash, cash equivalents and investments were $526.5 million and $213.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Capital Resources and Commitments

We have entered into arrangements that serve as sources of capital and the associated contractual agreements may result in firm or contingent obligations of us. In addition to our common stockholders’ equity, our sources of capital have historically included debt and operating leases. Our operating lease arrangements require cash repayment, and our convertible debt contains rights that may result in their conversion to our common stock prior to maturity. However, as of March 31, 2026, we have repaid the majority of our traditional debt obligations and no longer maintain access to credit facilities. Accordingly, our ongoing sources of capital are primarily limited to equity and cash generated from operations.

We also enter into contractual and legally binding commitments to purchase goods. Most of these contracts are cancellable with little or no notice or penalty. However, once a vendor has incurred costs to fulfill a contract with us, and which costs cannot be otherwise deployed, we are liable for those costs upon cancellation.

Cash Flow Activity

Our cash flow summary was as follows ($ in thousands):

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2026				2025
Cash flow summary:
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(46,597	)		$	(30,283	)
Net cash provided by investing activities			191,090				14,625
Net cash used in financing activities			(40	)			(46	)
Effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on cash    and cash equivalents			115				357
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		$	144,568			$	(15,347	)

We derive cash flows from operations primarily by collecting amounts due from sales of our products and services, and fees earned under our product development and license agreements. Our cash flows from operating activities are also significantly influenced by our use of cash for operating expenses and working capital to support the business. We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operating activities as we have expanded our business and built our infrastructure, domestically and internationally.

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we used $15.0 million of net proceeds from the sales and maturities of investments to help fund $46.6 million of net cash used in operating activities. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $52.0 million of net proceeds from the sales and maturities of investments to help fund $30.3 million of net cash used in operating activities.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $12.1 million of higher transaction and restructuring cost payments and a $10.1 million increase in bonus payments. These increases were partially offset by lower cash payments for ongoing operating expenses, reflecting the impact of our cost reduction initiatives.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $191.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $14.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $363.2 million of cash consideration received in connection with the sale of the SomaScan Business, partially offset by $185.7 million of purchases of marketable debt securities funded with a portion of the sale proceeds.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the value of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. We develop these estimates after considering historical transactions, the current economic environment and various other assumptions considered reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and judgments. Accounts that rely heavily on estimated information to determine their values include revenue, trade receivables, inventories, right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and income tax liabilities (assets). Refer to Item 7 in our Annual Report for additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

23

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, as well as, to a lesser extent, inflation and capital market risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk in the ordinary course of our business. Our cash and cash equivalents are comprised of funds held in checking accounts and money market accounts. The primary objective of our cash investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

Due to our operations outside of the United States, we are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Historically, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur regularly and, in some instances, could materially adversely affect our business, our financial conditions, our results of operations or our cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $1.7 million of foreign currency exchange losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $0.6 million of foreign currency exchange gains due to changes in currency exchange rates.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the last two years. If global inflation trends continue, we expect appreciable increases in labor and other operating costs.

Capital Market Risk

We generate our revenue from the sale of products and services and from collaborative arrangements, license agreements, grants, and royalties, but we may in the future raise funds through other sources. One possible source of funding is through further securities offerings. Our ability to raise funds in this manner depends upon capital market forces affecting our stock price among other things.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have

24

been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

25

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information with respect to certain legal proceedings is included in Note 5 to our accompanying financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 8 to our financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous uncertainties and risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in this Item 1A, as well as those risk factors discussed in Part I Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks below and the risks in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as employee relations, general economic conditions, global geopolitical events and international operations. Further, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may in the future materially and adversely affect our business, operations, liquidity and stock price. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition could suffer, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We could fail to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which could seriously harm the liquidity of our shares and our ability to raise capital or complete a strategic transaction.

Nasdaq has established continued listing requirements, including a requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share. On April 20, 2026, we received a written notice from Nasdaq notifying us that, because the closing bid price for our common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a 180-calendar day period, or until October 19, 2026 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The minimum bid price requirement will be met if our common stock has a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-calendar day period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend such 10‑day period. If we do not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period, subject to satisfying the conditions in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the bid price requirement within the 180-calendar day compliance period provided by Nasdaq rules or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq requirements in the future. If we are not able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq requirements, our common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq, which could have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders, including by reducing the liquidity of our shares and having a material adverse effect on our ability to raise capital or complete a strategic transaction.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On February 6, 2024, our board of directors authorized the 2024 Share Repurchase Program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock in the open market, in one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or in negotiated transactions through March 1, 2026. The repurchases are contingent upon favorable market and business conditions and are funded by cash on hand. The program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. As of March 31, 2026, we have repurchased 15,448,533 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $40.5 million under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. We did not purchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

26

None.

Item 5. Other Information

10b5-1 Trading Arrangements

From time to time, our officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) and directors may enter into Rule 10b5-1 or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements (as each such term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of our officers or directors adopted, modified or terminated any such trading arrangements.
