NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. Nature of Operation

Azenta, Inc. (“Azenta”, or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of life science sample exploration and management solutions for the life sciences market. The Company supports its customers from research to clinical development with its sample management, automated storage, and genomic services expertise to help bring impactful therapies to market faster.

Discontinued Operations

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its semiconductor automation business to Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”). The Company determined that the semiconductor automation business met the “held for sale” criteria and the “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, (“FASB ASC 205”) as of September 30, 2021. Results related to the semiconductor automation business are included within discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” for further information about the discontinued businesses. The Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements were restated for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the semiconductor automation business in accordance with FASB ASC 205. The discussion in the notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted, relate solely to the Company's continuing operations.

On February 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. Net cash proceeds from the sale are expected to be $2.5 billion, after deducting estimated taxes payable and other items, such as closing costs.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the markets it serves, including, but not limited to, global economic and financial market conditions, fluctuations in customer demand, acceptance of new products, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, risk of disruption in its supply chain, the implementation of tariffs and export controls, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with domestic and foreign regulatory authorities and agencies.

Throughout the pandemic, the Company’s operations have not been significantly interrupted as the Company has adapted to having required employees on site and the balance of employees mostly working from home.  The Company has followed government guidance in each region and has implemented the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention social distancing guidelines and other best practices to protect the health and safety of the Company’s employees. The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a substantial negative impact on the Company’s financial results and a portion of this impact has been mitigated by the Company’s realignment of resources to satisfy incremental orders related to virus research and vaccine development and commercialization. Future impacts on the Company’s financial results are not fully determinable, as the full impact of the pandemic on the economy and markets which the Company serves is as yet unknown, but will be dependent, in part, on future variants of the virus and vaccine effectiveness against these variants and new or prolonged government responses to the pandemic. The Company’s financial results will also depend on variables including reduced demand from its customers, the degree that the supply chain may be constrained which could impact its delivery of products and services and the potential negative impact on its operations if there is an outbreak among the Company’s employees, as well as the amount of incremental demand caused by research and treatments in the areas of COVID-19 or related threats.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statementsaccompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Brooks Automation, Inc.the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries (“Brooks”, or the “Company”) included hereinand have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"(“GAAP”). All intercompany accountsbalances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company applies the equity method of accounting to investments that provide it with the ability to exercise significant influence over the entities in which it lacks controlling financial interest and is not a primary beneficiary.

In the opinion of management,the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, which areconsisting of aonly normal and recurring nature andadjustments, necessary for a fair statement of theits financial position as of June 30, 2022, and its results of operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, and cash flows for the periods presented, have been reflected in the accompanying unauditednine months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021. The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021 was derived from audited annual financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods arestatements but does not necessarily indicativecontain all of the results of operations to be expected forfootnote disclosures from the full fiscal year.annual financial statements

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted and, accordingly, the accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained onin the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20172021 (the "2017“2021 Annual Report on Form 10‑K"10-K”). The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 20172021 was derived from the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of the period then ended.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, andas well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are associated with recording accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets other than goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative financial instruments, deferred income taxes, warranty obligations, revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method, pension obligationsover time, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company bases itsassesses the estimates on historical experiencean ongoing basis and various other assumptions, includingrecord changes in certain circumstances, future projections that management believes to be reasonable underestimates in the circumstances. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actualperiod they occur and become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, including results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. This includes results from new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and any actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within its financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates. Changesestimates in estimates are recorded in the period in which they occur and become known.future periods.

Foreign Currency Translation

Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency.

Foreign currency exchange lossesgains (losses) generated from the settlement and remeasurement of these transactions are recognized in earnings and presented within “Other expenses,income (expenses), net” in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains were $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses totaled $2.0were $1.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the three months ended DecemberJune 30, 2021. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses were $2.9 million and gains were $1.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

The determination of the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is based on their financial and operational environment and is the local currency of all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at period-end exchange rates, while revenue, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translations are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and presented as a component of comprehensive income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The semiconductor automation business had foreign operations which had a cumulative translation adjustment balance of $16.6 million at the date of disposal. This amount was removed from accumulated other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 20172022, and 2016.included within the gain on the sale of the semiconductor automation business. As a result, the Company presented a $16.6 million reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.dollars. Most of these transactions or balances are denominated in Euros, British Pounds and a variety of Asian currencies. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations. The forward contract arrangements that the Company enters into typically mature in three months or less. These transactionsless and they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Net gains and losses related to these contracts are recorded as a component of "Other expenses, net"

Hedging Activities

On February 1, 2022, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreement, the Company notionally exchanged approximately $1.03 billion for approximately €915 million at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.196%. The designated notional amount is $960 million and the actual interest rate is 1.283%. 1.283% was in the range of the market value for that day and is the true interest rate on the notional amount. This cross-currency swap agreement expires in February 2023. We have designated the cross-currency swap as a hedge of net investments against one of our Euro denominated subsidiaries which requires an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. At the maturity of the cross currency-swap, the Company will deliver a notional amount of €852 million and receive a notional amount of $960 million at an exchange rate of 1.1261.

This cross-currency swap is marked to market at each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net, on the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Interest accrued on the cross-currency swap is recorded within Interest Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of $55.1 million and $65.8 million, respectively, to Accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded interest income of $3.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, on this instrument for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash equivalants andequivalents, available for sale securities.securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and derivative instruments at fair value. FASB Accounring Standards Codification (“the ASC”)ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following levels of inputs may be used to measureAvailable for sale securities and derivative instruments are measured at fair value:

Level 1 Inputs: Quotedvalue based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 Inputs: Observableobservable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, including quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in marketsliabilities. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Expected Credit Losses and Sales Returns

Trade accounts receivable do not bear interest and are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses representing its best estimate of expected credit losses related to its existing accounts receivable and their net realizable value. The Company determines the allowance based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of customer credit worthiness, the age of the outstanding receivables, economic trends, historical experience and other information over the payment periods. The Company reviews and adjusts the allowance for expected credit losses on a quarterly basis. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance for expected credit losses when the Company determines that the balances are not active;recoverable. Provisions for expected credit losses are recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determines the allowance for sales returns based on its best estimate of expected customer returns. Provisions for sales returns are recorded in "Revenue" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Leases

The Company has operating leases for real estate and non-real estate and finance leases for non-real estate. The classification of a lease as operating or other inputs thatfinance and the determination of the right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and lease liability are observable or can be corroborated by observable market datadetermined at lease inception. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for substantially the fulllease term and the lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the assetslease payments at commencement date. Lease terms may include options to extend or liabilities.terminate the lease

Fixed payments for non-lease components are significant tocombined with lease payments and accounted for as a single lease component which increases the fair valueamount of the assetsROU asset and liability.

The ROU asset for operating leases is included within “Other assets” and the ROU asset for finance leases is included within “Property, plant, and equipment, net” in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term lease liabilities for both operating leases and finance leases are included within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For finance leases, interest on a lease liability should be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset, while for operating leases, total lease costs are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying assets to forgo a recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities and record a lease expense on a straight-line basis. Entities should determine at the inception of the arrangement whether a contract represents a lease or contains a lease which is defined as a right to control the use of identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Additionally, entities should separate the lease components from the non-lease components and allocate the contract consideration on a relative standalone price basis in accordance with provisions of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

In June 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for reporting credit losses. The new guidance introduces a new "expected loss" impairment model that applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and other financial assets. Entities are required to estimate expected credit losses over the life of financial assets and record an allowance against the assets’ amortized cost basis to present them at the amount expected to be collected. Additionally, the guidance amends the impairment model for available for sale debt securities and requires entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such debt security is a credit loss. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the newly issued guidance is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard should be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company expects to adopt the guidance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance to simplify accounting for inventory. The amendment requires measuring inventory based on the lower of its cost or net realizable value. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the guidance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 which did not have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for reporting revenue recognition. The guidance provides for the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company expects to adopt the guidance during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company has initiated the evaluation of the potential impact of adopting the new guidance on its financial position and results of operations, but has not yet completed such assessment or determined the transition method that will be used to adopt the new guidance. The Company has established an implementation team to analyze its current portfolio of customer contracts and determine the impact of adopting the guidance. The implementation team is also responsible for evaluating and designing the necessary changes to the Company’s business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new guidance. The Company has established a project plan and substantially completed its preliminary contract assessment. The results of this assessment are currently being analyzed to determine the final impact of adoption on the Company’s operations, consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is currently in the process of completing this assessment and quantifying the implicationsdisclosures as a result of the new guidance adoption. Based on the preliminary assessment, the Company anticipates that  the new guidance will impact the timingadoption of revenue recognition for a portion of its life science revenue which is currently accounted for under a percentage of completion method.

3. Discontinued Operations

Disposition of Semiconductor Automation Business

On September 20, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its semiconductor automation business to THL. On February 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. Net cash proceeds from the sale are expected to be $2.5 billion, after excluding estimated taxes payable. Net income from discontinued operations for June 30, 2022 is inclusive of the pre-tax gain on sale of $2.6 billion. As part of the transaction, the Company recorded an $18.1 million liability related to retention bonuses and cash settled stock based awards for former employees of the Company that were conveyed with the transaction. The Company will remit payment to THL during fiscal 2023, at the end of the retention period and THL will directly pay the former employees. Following the completion of the sale, the Company no longer serves the semiconductor market.

In connection with the closing of the sale, the Company and THL entered into a transition services agreement, to which both the Company and THL will provide each other with certain transition services related to finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, compliance, facilities, legal and research and development support, for time periods ranging from three to 24 months. In addition, the Company entered into 2 separate lease agreements for leases back to the Company for portions of the facilities that have served as its corporate headquarters in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and were sold to THL as part of the sale agreement. Each lease provides for a term of 24 months, which may be terminated earlier by the Company upon 90 days’ notice to THL. The transition services agreement and lease agreements approximate fair value and there is no material impact to the Company’s results.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company determined that the semiconductor automation business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and, as a result, its historical financial results are reflected in the Company’s financial statements as a discontinued operation, and assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale.

Acquisition within the Semiconductor Automation Business

On April 29, 2021, the Company acquired Precise Automation Inc., a leading developer of collaborative robots and automation subsystems headquartered in Fremont, California. The total cash purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $69.8 million. Precise provides the semiconductor automation business with a product offering and technology portfolio to take advantage of the opportunities in the collaborative robot market.

The allocation of the consideration included $38.7 million of technology, $2.5 million of customer relationships, $33.1 million of goodwill, $6.2 million of deferred tax liabilities, and several other assets and liabilities.

The Company applied variations of the income approach to estimate the fair values of the intangible assets acquired. The completed technology was valued using excess earnings method and the customer relationships was valued using distributor margin method, both of which have a useful life of 11 years. The intangible assets acquired are amortized over the total weighted average period of 11 years using methods that approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.

Table of Contents

The Company has included the financial results of the acquired operations within income from discontinued operations on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The goodwill and intangible assets are not tax deductible.

The Company did not present a pro forma information summary for its consolidated results of operations because such results were immaterial.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, and prior to the completion of the sale of the semiconductor automation business, the Company exercised an option acquired with the Precise acquisition, to purchase certain technology assets for $4.0 million. The technology assets and the option to purchase was deemed to have no fair value at the time of acquisition.

4. Marketable Securities

The Company invests in marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale and records them at fair value in the Company’saccompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Marketable securities reported as current assets represent investments that mature within one year from the balance sheet date. Long-term marketable securities represent investments with maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. The

Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of “accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax” in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets until the security is sold or matures. Gains or losses realized from sales of marketable securities are valued using matrix pricing and benchmarking and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are not actively traded. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relyingcomputed based on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.specific identification method and recognized as a component of "Other income (expenses), net" in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were insignificant sales of marketable securities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and the fair value, including accrued interest receivable as well as unrealized holding gains (losses) on the short-term and long-term marketable securities as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2022 and September 30, 20172021 (in thousands):

Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because the security issuers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

The Company reviews the marketable securities for impairment at each reporting period to determine if any of the securities have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers factors, such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term

10


prospects of the issuer, the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Company believes that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, it writes down the investment to its fair value and recognizes the credit loss in earnings and the non-credit loss in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. As of December 31, 2017, the aggregate fair value of the marketable securitiesSecurities in an unrealized loss position was $20.3 million and was comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies, U.S. corporate securities, municipal securities and bank certificates of deposits. Aggregate unrealized losses for these securities were insignificant as of December 31, 2017 and are presented in the table above.June 30, 2022 were $909.6 million.

Fair value estimates are based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The fair values of inventory, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, accrued liabilities, tax-related matters and residual goodwill were preliminary as of December 31, 2017. The Company will refine suchjudgments used to determine the estimated fair value estimates as new information becomes available during the measurement period.

Fair values of intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships of $21.4 million, completed technology of $5.2 million, backlog of $0.4 million and trademarks of $0.2 million. The Company used the income approach in accordance with the excess-earnings method to estimate the fair values of customer relationships, backlog and trademarks equal to the present value of the after-tax cash flows attributableassigned to each intangible asset. The Company used the income approach in accordance with the relief-from-royalty method to estimate the fair valueclass of the completed technology which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning that intangible asset. The weighted average amortization periods for intangible assets acquired are 13 years for completed technology, 10 years for customer relationship intangible assets, 1 year for backlog and 1 year for trademarks. The intangible assets acquired are amortized over the total weighted average period of 10.4 years using methods that approximate the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.

At the closing of the acquisition of 4titude, a cash payment of $0.4 million was placed into escrow which was ascribed to the purchase price. The escrow was related to potential working capital adjustments and the sellers’ satisfaction of general representations and warranties. The escrow balance was $0.4 million as of December 31, 2017.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired and has been assigned to the Brooks Life Sciences segment. Goodwill is primarily the result of expected synergies from combining the operations of 4titude with the Company’s operations and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The operating results of 4titude have been reflected in the results of operations for the Brooks Life Sciences segment from the date of the acquisition, which included approximately three months of activity during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

5.6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of net book value over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a reporting unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more often if impairment indicators are present at the reporting unit level. The Company elected April 1 as its annual goodwill impairment assessment date and performs additional impairment tests if triggering events occur. If events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair values of the reporting units below their carrying values, goodwill will be evaluated for impairment between annual tests. No triggering events indicating goodwill impairment occurred during the threenine months ended December 31, 2017.June 30, 2022. Please refer to Note 6,8, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the Company's consolidated

financial statements included in the 20172021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the goodwill impairment testing performed during fiscal year 2017.2021.

The componentsCompany performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment on April 1st of each year. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company initially assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines, based on this assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. No impairment loss is recognized if the fair value of the reporting exceeds its carrying value.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company completed the annual goodwill impairment test for each of its reporting units, including the Life Sciences Products reporting unit within the Life Sciences Products segment, and the Life Sciences Services reporting unit within the Life Sciences Services segment. Based on the test results, the Company determined that no adjustment to goodwill was necessary. The Company conducted a qualitative assessment for both the Life Sciences Services and Life Sciences Products reporting units. The Company determined that it was more likely than not that their fair values were greater than their carrying values. As a result of the analysis, the Company did not perform the quantitative assessment for these reporting units, and therefore, did not recognize any impairment losses.

benefit on loss from operations during the quarter. This provision is partially offset by $0.3period and $1.5 million overall benefit from multiple releases of tax benefits related to the reduction of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and $0.7accrued interest due to statute of limitations expirations. The benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was increased by a $2.0 million discrete stock compensation windfall benefit for tax deductions that exceeded the associated book compensation expense, respectively.

During March 2021, the United States enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“Act”). The company evaluated the legislation included in the Act in relation to income taxes and determined that income tax provisions included in the Act donothavea material impact on its income tax provision.

The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. These liabilities involve judgment and estimation and are monitored based on the best available information. The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits related to the re-measurement of net U.S. deferred tax liabilities at the reduced 21 percent federal income tax rate. The income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily driven by foreign income generated during the quarter, partially offset by $0.7 million of tax benefits related to the reduction of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company amends the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions to recognize tax effects resulting from the settlement of stock-based awards as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement in the reporting period in which they occur. Adoption of this ASU required recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in connection with the establishment componentof a deferred tax asset for any prior year net excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies not previously recorded. This adjustment resulted in a $4.0 million increase to retained earnings and deferred tax asset for net prior year excess tax benefits, with a corresponding decrease to retained earnings for the establishment of valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.  During the three months ended December 31, 2017 this change had no impact to our income statement or tax rate as a result of the full valuation allowance which exists against U.S. deferred tax assets.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted in the U.S., making significant tax law changes affecting the Company. The SEC has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which has provided guidance for companies that have not completed the accounting for the income tax effects provisionor benefit.The Company recognized $0.1 millionof Tax Reform.  Under SAB 118, a company may report provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates

where interestexpenserelatedtoitsuncertaintaxpositionsduringthe accounting is incomplete. These amounts are subject to adjustments during a measurement period of up to one year beginning in threeandthe reporting period of the enactment date.ninemonthsendedJune 30, 2022.

Upon the enactment of Tax Reform, the TheCompany is subject to a toll charge in the U.S. on its previously untaxed accumulated foreign earnings.  The toll charge is treated as an inclusion of the company’s accumulated foreign earnings in U.S. taxable income during the tax year ended September 30, 2018. Any taxes due associated with the toll charge will be payable over an eight year period. The Company has estimated that its accumulated foreign earnings are $120 million which is a provisional amount subject to the measurement period described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118. There are still incomplete components related to the accumulated foreign earnings calculations for older tax years that require additional time to complete the calculations. The Company also has a history of foreign mergers and acquisitions and proper determination of the impact on the accumulated earnings is complex. The Company has not recorded any provision for currently estimated tax inclusion associated with the toll charge as sufficient previously un-benefited tax attributes, with valuation allowances, exist to offset the inclusion income or resulting tax.  

As a result of Tax Reform, the Company calculated its U.S. tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2017 using a blended U.S. statutory tax rate of 24.5% which is a prorated allocation of the 35% rate which was in effect prior to tax reform through December 31, 2017 and the 21% rate which will be in effect for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Company recorded a discrete benefit of $0.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 due to the impact of the U.S. rate change on its net U.S. deferred tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company maintains its indefinite reinvestment assertion on foreign earnings until the Company can complete its assessment of Tax Reform impacts on reinvestment plans, which will continue to be evaluated during the measurement period described in SAB 118.  While the toll charge is a forced deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and an inclusion in U.S. taxable income, there are still additional costs of repatriating the foreign earnings such as foreign withholding taxes and state taxes. 

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by tax-paying component and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The Company evaluates the profitability of each tax-paying component on a historic cumulative basis and on a forward looking basis in the course of performing this analysis. As described below, the Company’s evaluation of all positive and negative evidence and corresponding conclusion regarding maintaining a valuation allowance at December 31, 2017 in the U.S. will be a part of its assessment during the measurement period under SAB 118 of the future impacts Tax Reform will have on its positive and negative evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. Please refer to Note 10, "Income Taxes" to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the valuation allowance.

As previously described, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company considered the impacts of Tax Reform  that will be immediately effective and those that will be effective for future years. In consideration of the effects of Tax Reform, the Company is still in the process of fully evaluating, during the measurement period under SAB 118, all future impacts of the changes as they relate to the  need for the U.S. valuation allowance. The final determination of the various impacts of Tax Reform could have a significant impact to U.S. tax obligations, and could require the Company to change its U.S. valuation allowance conclusion in a future period. As of the time of this filing, the Company believes a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets is required until a full analysis of the impact of Tax Reform is finalized.

Accrued restructuring costs areobtaining a contract, (ii) expected to be paidrecovered and (iii) have an expected amortization period that is greater than one year. As part of the Company’s cumulative effect adjustment upon the initial adoption of ASC 606, incremental costs associated with obtaining a contract were capitalized and have been classified as deferred commissions within the next twelve months. Please referCompany’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These amounts primarily relate to Note 15, “Restructuringsales commissions and Other Charges” are being amortized over a 60-month period, which represents the average period of contract performance. The Company did not capitalize any sales commissions during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as the amount of sales commissions that qualified for capitalization during the reporting period was insignificant. Sales commissions incurred during the reporting period have been expensed as incurred. These costs are recorded within “Selling, general and administrative” expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has concluded that none of its costs incurred in fulfillment of customer contracts meet the capitalization criteria. The Company will account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities and recognize the associated expense when control of the product has transferred to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the restructuring actions discussed above.customer.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

LettersTariff Matter

In fiscal year 2021, as part of Credit

At eachthe Company’s continued integration of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017,GENEWIZ, which was acquired in November 2018, the Company had approximately $3.5initiated a review during first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with the assistance of a third party consultant, of the transaction value that the Company has used to calculate tariffs on inter-company imports of samples shipped from its GENEWIZ business. As a result of the third-party review and in light of a new interpretation surrounding the valuation method used to calculate the estimated transaction value, the Company revised its estimate of the tariffs owed as a result and recorded a liability of $6.1 million of letters of credit outstanding related primarily to customer advances and other performance obligations. These arrangements guarantee the refund of advance payments received from our customers in the event thatsecond quarter of fiscal 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the product is not delivered or warranty obligations are not fulfilled in accordance with the contract terms. These obligations could be called by the beneficiaries at any time before the expiration date of the particular letter of credit if the Company fails to meet certain contractual requirements. None of these obligations were called duringaccrual was $7.4 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2022, the Company submitted a payment in the amount of $5.9 million to the customs authorities related to November 2021 and prior periods. The customs authorities will review the fiscal year endedCompany’s calculation of tariffs for these periods and determine if any further tariffs are owed. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2017,2021, the accrual for these tariffs was $1.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, which includes estimates for any additional liability for tariffs owed related to recurring operating activity. The Company does not expect to incur any significant penalties associated with the tariffs.

Purchase Commitments

At June 30, 2022, the Company currently does not anticipate anyhad non-cancellable commitments of these obligations to be called in the near future.

Purchase Commitments

The Company has non-cancellable contracts and$78.6 million, primarily comprised of purchase orders for inventory of $128.6$65.0 million, information technology related commitments of $13.1 million, and $122.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017  and September 30, 2017.China facility commitments of $0.4 million.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings or in certain instances provide

24


reasonable ranges of potential losses. The Company may also have certain indemnification obligations pursuant to claims made under the definitive agreement it entered into with Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) in connection with the Company’s sale of its semiconductor cryogenics business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. However, as of the date of this report, the Company believes that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020,

Edwards asserted claims for indemnification under the definitive agreement relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to customer warranty claims and inventory.The Company cannot determine the probability of any losses or outcome of these claims including the amount of any indemnifiable losses, if any, resulting from these claims at this time, however, the Company believes that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. If the resolution of these claims results in indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable indemnification deductibles and indemnification escrow established under the definitive agreement, Edwards would be required to seek recovery under the representation and warranty insurance Edwards obtained in connection with the closing of the transaction. The Company believes that any indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable deductibles and indemnification escrow established in the definitive agreement would be covered by such insurance. If Edwards is unable to obtain recovery under its insurance, however, it could seek recovery of such indemnifiable losses, if any, directly from the Company. In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these legal proceedings,matters, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assessment of any claim will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.

17. Subsequent EventsFair Value Measurement

DividendThe fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

On January 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on March 23, 2018 to common stockholders of record

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of Marchthe reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 2018. DividendsInputs: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are declared atnot active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the discretionfull term of the Company’s Boardassets or liabilities.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of Directorsthe assets or liabilities and depend onreflect an entity’s own assumptions in pricing assets or liabilities since they are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company measures certain assets, including the Company’s actual cash flows from operations, its financial conditioncost and capital requirements and any other factors the Company’s Board of Directors may consider relevant. Future dividend declarations, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directorsequity method investments, at fair value on a quarterly basis.nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparable, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

Available-For-Sale Securities

Available-for-sale securities primarily consist of municipal securities, bank certificate of deposits and U.S. government backed securities, and as such are classified as Level 1. Investments classified as Level 2 consist of debt securities that are valued using matrix pricing and benchmarking because they are not actively traded. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities are measured and reported at fair value based on observable market inputs and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to a lack of an active market for these contracts.

33

Net Investment Hedge

Net investment hedge assets is measured and reported at fair value based on observable market inputs and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to a lack of an active market for these contracts.

Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration is measured and reported at fair value using the real options method based on the unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value and classified with Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The amount is contingent based on the acquired business’ performance for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2021. Please refer to Note 5, “Acquisitions” for further detail. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration resulting from a change in the underlying inputs are recognized in results of operations until the arrangement is settled.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any material other-than-temporary impairments on financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

18. Subsequent Event

On July 1, 2022, the Company closed its previously announced acquisition of Barkey Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries ("Barkey"), a leading provider of controlled rate thawing devices for customers in the medical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries, headquartered in Leopoldshöhe, Germany.  The acquisition was completed with a purchase price of approximately €80.0 million, subject to customary adjustments. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company’s existing offerings and capabilities within its Life Sciences Products segment.

On August 8, 2022, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Azenta Luxembourg, S.a.r.l, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire °B Medical Systems S.a.r.l and its subsidiaries (“B Medical”), a global leader in temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions. The purchase price to be paid by Azenta at closing is approximately €410 million. Additional consideration, up to €50 million, may be paid contingent upon achieving future performance milestones. The transaction is expected to close in October 2022, upon meeting customary closing conditions.

You should read the MD&A in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page 3 ofincluded elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, the MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read “Information Related to Forward-Looking Statements” included below for a discussion of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Sale of the Semiconductor Automation Business

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our semiconductor automation business to Thomas H. Lee, Partners, L.P., or THL, for $3.0 billion in cash subject to customary adjustments. In connection with the planned divestiture of the semiconductor automation business and our continued focus on our life sciences businesses, we changed our corporate name from “Brooks Automation, Inc.” to “Azenta, Inc.” and our common stock started to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “AZTA” on December 1, 2021.

On February 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. Net proceeds from the sale are expected to be $2.5 billion, net of estimated taxes payable. Since our founding in 1978, we had been a leading automation provider and partner to the global semiconductor manufacturing industry. With the completion of the sale of the semiconductor automation business, we no longer serve the semiconductor market. The semiconductor automation business has been classified as a discontinued operation and, unless otherwise noted, this MD&A relates solely to our continuing operations and does not include the operations of our semiconductor automation business.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

We have implemented business continuity plans designed to address the COVID-19 pandemic and minimize the disruption to ongoing operations. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, however, our business has been impacted at various times by reduced demand for services from customers experiencing lockdowns and quarantines, travel restrictions impacting our ability to service our products, supply chain constraints, increased competition for talent, and governmental mandates at times constraining our employees’ ability to work at our facilities. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, however, our business has been impacted at various times by reduced demand for services from customers experiencing lockdowns and quarantines, travel restrictions impacting our ability to service our products, supply chain constraints, increased competition for talent, and governmental mandates at times constraining our employees’ ability to work at our facilities. Recently, during the third quarter ended June 30, 2022, we experienced a two-week facility closure in Suzhou, China as a result of local

35

government protocols and mandates. As we expect the pandemic to continue to evolve, we will continue monitoring and assessing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. However, we cannot at this time accurately predict what effects these conditions will ultimately have on our operations due to uncertainties relating to variants of the virus, vaccine effectiveness against the variants, the duration of any future outbreak and the pandemic itself, and the length of the travel restrictions and business closures imposed by the governments of impacted countries.  Our financial results will also depend on variables including reduced demand from our customers, the degree that the supply chain may be constrained which could impact our delivery of products and services and the potential negative impact on our operations if there is an outbreak among our employees, as well as the amount of incremental demand caused by research and treatments in the areas of COVID-19 or related threats.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. WeOn an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue, bad debts, inventories, long-lived assets, derivative instruments, goodwill, intangible assets, other than goodwill, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, pensions and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate current and anticipated worldwide economic conditions, both in general and specifically in relation to the semiconductor and life science industries, that serve as a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily determinable based on information from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The decrease was a result of higher production costs and higher charges related to the sale of inventories obtained in acquisitions to which a step-up in value was applied in purchase accounting. Such charges were $1.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $0.1 million during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by a more favorable mix of products and services, volume leverage and higher margins on automated storage systems, consumables, and sample storage services. Cost of revenue during each of the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 also included $0.4 million of amortization related to completed technology. Excluding the purchasing accounting impact and the amortization of completed technology, margins expanded 0.7 percentage points.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $13.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $10.8 million during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase of $2.4 million reflects higher costs of $1.4 million within the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment and $1.0 million within the Brooks Life Sciences segment which were primarily attributable to higher employee-related costs and project spending to support new product development and the growth of our business.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $41.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $32.0 million for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase of $9.2 million was primarily attributable to: (i) higher employee-related costs driven by increased incentive bonuses and higher salaries resulting from hiring additional personnel to support the growth of our business, (ii) higher stock-based compensation expense driven mostly by higher estimates of the expected payout related to the achievement of performance goals for our performance-based awards, as well as (iii) higher expenses related to the acquisitions of PBMMI and 4titude. Amortization expense related primarily to customer relationships was $4.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 as compared to $3.1 million during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Merger-related costs were $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Restructuring Charges

There were no restructuring charges recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.0 million which were related to severance and comprised of: (i) $0.7 million of costs related to the Company-wide restructuring action, (ii) $0.2 million of costs attributable to the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment related to the integration of Contact Co., Ltd. which we acquired in fiscal year 2015, and (iii) $0.1 million of costs attributable to the Brooks Life Sciences segment related to streamlining the segment's management structure, integrating acquisitions and improving profitability. Please refer to Note 15, “Restructuring and Other Charges” to our consolidated financial statements and “Restructuring Charges” to our consolidated financial statements included under Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on these restructuring actions.

Non-Operating Income (Expenses)

Gain on Settlement of Equity Method Investment- During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a gain of $1.8 million on the settlement of the equity method investment in BioCision which was included as a part of the non-cash consideration for an acquisition of Cool Lab in November 2016. Please refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on this transaction.

Interest Expense- During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded interest expense of $2.2 million which was primarily related to the term loan originated on October 4, 2017. Please refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further information on the term loan.

Other expenses, net. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded other expenses, net of $1.7 million and $0.3 million respectively. The increase of $1.4 million was primarily attributable to an increase in foreign currency exchange losses during the three months ended December 31, 2017 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Please refer to Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Currency Rate Exposure”

Life Sciences Services segment gross margin decreased 0.2 percentage points driven by the sample repository solutions business, partially offset by an increase in this Quartely Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about these currency exchange losses. Additionally, we recognized higher losses of $0.2 million duringgross margin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017genomic services business. The decrease in gross margin in the sample repository solutions business primarily related to fair value measurement of convertible debt securities in BioCision. Please refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” toincreased employee related costs within our consolidated financial statements included on the 2017 Annual Reportstorage solutions business. The increase in the Form 10-K for further information on this transaction.

Income Tax Provision  

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2017genomic services gross margin was primarily driven by the foreign income generated$6.1 million accrued for tariff liabilities during the current quarter. This provision is partially offset by $0.3nine months ended June 30, 2021 as discussed in the “Operating Income (Loss)” section above, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2022, in which we recorded a benefit of $0.5 million of tax benefits related to the reduction of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and $0.7 million of tax benefits related to the re-measurement of net U.S. deferred tax liabilities at the reduced 21 percent federal income tax rate. The income tax provisionaccrual for the three months ended December 31,fiscal years 2016 was primarily driven by foreign income generated during the quarter, partially offset by $0.7 million of tax benefits related to the reduction of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits.  For additional discussion of the calculation of our income tax liabilities, please refer to Note 9, "Income Taxes", in the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 "Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted in the U.S., making significant tax law changes affecting us. The SEC has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which has provided guidance for companies that have not completed the accounting for the income tax effects of Tax Reform.  Under SAB 118, a company may report provisional amountsthrough 2020 based on reasonable estimates where the accounting is incomplete. These amounts are subject to adjustments during a measurement period of up to one year beginning in the reporting period of the enactment date.

31


Upon the enactment of Tax Reform, we are subject to a toll charge in the U.S. on our previously untaxed accumulated foreign earnings. The toll charge is treated asresults from an inclusion of our accumulated foreign earnings in U.S. taxable income during the tax year ended September 30, 2018. Any taxes due associated with the toll charge will be payable over an eight year period. We have estimated that our accumulated foreign earnings are $120 million, which is a provisional amount subject to the measurement period described in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118. There are still incomplete components related to the accumulated foreign earnings calculations for older tax years that require additional time to complete the calculations. We also have a history of foreign mergers and acquisitions, and proper determination of the impact on the accumulated earnings is complex. We have not recorded any provision for currently estimated tax inclusion associated with the toll charge as sufficient previously un-benefited tax attributes, with valuation allowances, exist to offset the inclusion income or resulting tax.  

As a result of Tax Reform, we calculated its U.S. tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2017 using a blended U.S. statutory tax rate of 24.5%, which is a prorated allocation of the 35% rate which was in effect prior to tax reform through December 31, 2017 and the 21% rate which will be in effect for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Company recorded a discrete benefit of $0.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 due toindependent study. Excluding the impact of the U.S. rate change on its net U.S. deferred tax liabilities.

Equity in Earningsamortization of Equity Method Investments

Duringcompleted technology and the threetariff adjustment, margins decreased 3.3 percentage points during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we recorded income of $2.2 million from our equity method investments as compared to $1.9 million during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The increase of $0.2 million was primarily attributable to higher income generated from ULVAC Cryogenics, Inc., or UCI, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018June 30, 2022, as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.year due to higher labor costs and the product mix in our sample repository solutions business.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million and $15.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, driven by increases in both our segments and an increase in unallocated corporate expenses.

Within our segment expenses discussed below, we incurred losses ofallocate certain corporate general and administrative expenses including costs related to shared corporate functions which include finance, information technology, human resources, legal, executive, governance, logistics and compliance. In total, corporate general and administrative expense allocated to segments decreased $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to lower variable compensation expense and increased $4.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, due to staffing and labor cost increases to support the standalone Life Sciences company. 

Life Sciences Products segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended primarily related to higher allocated costs.

Life Sciences Services segment selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million and $13.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 related to investments in the commercial organization and lab support personnel.  In addition, bad debt expense was higher for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 due to a reversal that occurred in the first fiscal quarter of 2021.

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower merger and acquisition costs and costs related to the separation of our company as well as lower amortization of intangible assets. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021, we impaired tradename intangibles due to the rebranding of our company. Partially offsetting these decreases were charges related to transformation and rebranding efforts during the three months ended June 30, 2022, which were not present in the prior fiscal year period. Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $1.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to lower merger and acquisition costs and costs related to the separation of the Company as well as lower amortization of intangible assets. These decreases were partially offset by costs related to transformation and rebranding efforts, which were not present in the prior fiscal year period.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges increased by less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. The three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 includes charges for actions taken related to the transformation of our business. Costs savings from these actions are expected to be realized in future periods.

Non-Operating Income (Expenses)

Interest income – We recorded interest income of $6.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest income in the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year is due to interest earned on the proceeds from the sale of the semiconductor automation business, including interest accrued on a net investment hedge, during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022. Please refer to the Derivative Instruments section of Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 “Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest expense – During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 we recorded interest expense of $2.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, during the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, is primarily related to interest on cash held in one of our investmentGerman subsidiaries that is denominated in BioCisionEUR, which carries a negative interest rate. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, is primarily related to interest expense on our term loan. The term loan was settled on February 1, 2022 using the proceeds from the sale of the semiconductor automation business.

Other income (expenses), net – We recorded other income of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and we recorded other expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to other expense of $1.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. The change for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year period is primarily due to foreign exchange gains. The change for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from the corresponding prior fiscal year period is primarily due to foreign currency exchange losses.

Income Tax Provision / Benefit

We recorded an income tax provision of $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and income tax benefit of $0.6 million during the firstnine months ended June 30, 2022. The tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily drivenbyatrue-upoftheeffectivetaxrateonayear-to-datebasis.Thesechangesweretheresultoffluctuationsin expected global income from operations.The tax benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, was driven by the pre-tax loss and a $4.6 million discrete stock compensation windfall benefit for tax deductions that exceeded the associated book compensation expense. The tax benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, was partially offset by a $0.7 million charge to increase the deferred tax liability to reflect a change in the blended state income tax rate that results from the sale of the semiconductor business assets.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. The tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily driven by the benefit on loss from operations during the period and $ 1.5 million overall benefit from multiple releases of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest due to the status of limitation expirations. The tax benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, was further increased by a $2.0 million discrete stock compensation windfall benefit for tax deductions that exceeded the associated book compensation expense.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include our semiconductor automation business. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 20172021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our semiconductor automation business to THL for $3 billion in cash, subject to net working capital and other adjustments. On February 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our semiconductor automation business to THL for $2.9 billion in cash, subject to net working capital and other adjustments. Net cash proceeds from the divestiture are expected to be $2.5 billion after estimated taxes payable.The nine months ended June 30, 2021 include an adjustment recorded in the first fiscal quarter of 2021 to our previously recorded gain on sale from our semiconductor cryogenics business, which was completed on July 1, 2019.

Revenue from discontinued operations was $264.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we did not have revenue from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from discontinued operations was $186.3 million and $474.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss from discontinued operations was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30. 2022 and net income from discontinue operations was $2.2 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. Net income from discontinued operations was $41.0 million and $96.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. Net income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 includes the net gain on the sale of the semiconductor automation business of $2.1 billion. The income from discontinued operations only includes direct operating expenses incurred that (1) are clearly identifiable as acosts being disposed of upon completion of the sale and (2) will not be continued by our company on an ongoing basis. Indirect expenses which supported the semiconductor automation business and which remained as part of the non-cash consideration for the acquisition of Cool Labcontinuing operations, are not reflected in November 2016. Please refer to Note 3, “Acquisitions” to our consolidated financial statements and “Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investments” section of Item 7, “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on this transaction.income from discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

A considerable portion of our revenue is dependent on the demand for semiconductor capital equipment which historically has experienced periodic downturns. We believe that we have adequate resources to fundsatisfy our currently planned working capital, financing activities, debt service and capital expenditure requirements as well as to service debt and pay interest for the next twelve months. The cyclical nature of our served markets and uncertainty in the current global economic environment, including the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, make it difficult for us to predict longer-term liquidity requirements with sufficient certainty. We may be unable to obtain any required additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on acceptable terms or otherwise, we may be unable to successfully develop or enhance products and services, respond to competitive pressure or take advantage

The discussion of acquisition opportunities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with substantial majority of those amounts located in the United States. As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $202.3 million, of which $81.2 million was held outside of the United States. If these funds are needed for U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue withholding tax liabilities to repatriate these funds. As a result of recent changes in U.S. tax legislation, any repatriation in the future would not result in U.S. federal income tax. Our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States and our current operating plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these funds for our U.S. operations. At December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, we had marketable securities of $29.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which were held in the United States. Our marketable securities are generally readily convertible to cash without an adverse impact. We believe that our current cash balance, marketable securities portfolio, access to the revolving line of credit, as well as to debt and capital markets along with cash flows from operations will satisfy working capital, financing activities, debt service and capital expenditure requirements forliquidity that follows stated on a total company consolidated basis and excludes the next twelve months.

On October 4, 2017, we entered into a $200.0 million Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, or the term loan, with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, or collectively, the lenders. The term loan was issued at $197.6 million, or 98.8% of its par value, resulting in a discount of $2.4 million, or 1.2%, which represented loan origination fees paid at the closing. We incurred additional deferred financing costs of $0.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding term loan principal balance was $200.0 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.7 million. The loan proceeds will be used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately $51.1 million available for borrowing under the line of credit. There were no amounts outstanding pursuant to the line of credit as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017. The amount of funds available for borrowing under the line of credit arrangement may fluctuate each period based on our borrowing base availability. Please refer to the “Capital Resources” section below for further information on the term loan and the line of credit.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.5 billion, of which $1.1 billion was held outside of the United States. If these funds are needed for the United States operations, we would need to repatriate these funds.  As a result of changes in U.S. tax legislation, any repatriation in the future would likely not result in U.S. federal income tax.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2021 we repatriated foreign cash to the U.S. in planning for the sale of the discontinued operation and recognized all related tax costs.  Aside from these actions, our intent is to reinvest the remaining foreign cash outside of the United States and our current operating plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these funds for our U.S. operations. We had marketable securities of $1.0 billion and $3.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Financing activities include $49.7 million for the extinguishment of debt and $10.4 million related to the payments of acquisition related contingent consideration. The effects of foreign exchange reduced our cash balance by $99.0 million. The net proceeds from the term loansale of the semiconductor automation business was approximately $2.5 billion after payment of taxes and other expenses.

Divestiture and Extinguishment of Debt

On February 1, 2022, we completed the sale of our semiconductor automation business for $2.9 billion in cash, inflowssubject to net working capital and other adjustments. Net cash proceeds from the divestiture are expected to be $2.5 billion after estimated taxes payable and other items, such as closing costs. Upon closure of $3.2the sale on February 1, 2022, we utilized $49.7 million generated from our operating activities, partially offset by cash outflowsof proceeds to extinguish outstanding debt related to acquisitionsour term loan.

Capital Resources

Senior Secured Term Loan Facilityand Line of Credit

On October 4, 2017, we entered into thea $200.0 million term loan with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC pursuant to the terms of a credit agreement with the lenders. The term loan was issued at $197.6 million, or 98.8% of its par value, resulting in a discount of $2.4 million, or 1.2%, which represented loan origination fees paid at the closing. We incurred additional deferred financing costs of $0.4 million during

On February 1, 2022, we settled the three months ended December 31, 2017. The loanTerm Loan using proceeds are used for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Please refer to Note 8, "Debt" infrom the Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 "Consolidated Financial Statements" on this Form 10-Q for further information on the terms and conditionssale of the term loan.

At December 31, 2017, the outstanding term loan principal balance was $200.0 million, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.7 million. The term loan matures and becomes fully payable on October 4, 2024. Installment principal payments equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the term loan are payable on the last day of each quarter, with any remaining principal amount becoming due and payable on the maturity date.

Borrowings under the term loan bear variable interest rates, at our option, based on either LIBOR, the federal funds effective rate, as well as the prime rate plus an applicable percentage. As a result, we may experience exposure to interest rate risk due to the potential volatility associated with the variable interest rates on the term loan. If rates increase, we may be subject to higher costs of servicing the loan which could reduce our profitability and cash flows. The applicable interest rate was initially set at 4% upon the term loan issuance and established based on the six-month LIBOR rate applicable at that time plus a margin of 2.50%. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the weighted average stated interest rate on the term loan was 4% which will remain in effect until March 4, 2018. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we incurred interest expense of $2.0 million on the term loan which will be paid in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates affecting interest payments on our term loan and investment return on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.short-term and long-term investments.

Interest Rate Exposure

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist principally of money market securities that are short-term in nature. At June 30, 2022, our total short-term and long-term investments were $1 billion, consisting mostly of short term Treasury securities, highly rated corporate debt securities and other debt securities. At June 30, 2022, we had $7.4 million amount of securities in an unrealized loss position. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate $8 million increase in interest income earned during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

On February 1, 2022, in connection with the completion of the sale of its semiconductor automation business, the Company used $49.7 million of the cash proceeds from the sale of the semiconductor automation business to extinguish the total remaining outstanding balance of its term loan. The Company also closed its revolving credit facility of which had no borrowings. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred cash interest expense of $0.7 million on the term loan. The term loan bearshad a variable interest ratesrate which subjectssubjected us to interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate risk exposure resultsresulted from changes in the short-term LIBOR rate, the federal funds effective rate and the prime rate. As of December 31, 2017, the weighted average stated interest rate on the term loan was 4%. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding term loan principal balance was $200.0 million, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.7 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we incurred interest expense of $2.0 million on the term loan. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $0.5 million change in interest expense incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2017.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist principally of money market securities that are short-term in nature. Our short-term and long-term investments consist mostly of highly rated corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and obligations of U.S. Government Agencies and other municipalities. At December 31, 2017, $20.3 million of marketable securities were in net unrealized loss positions which were included in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10 Q. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in $0.3 million increase in interest income earned during the three months ended December 31, 2017.

Currency Rate Exposure

We have transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of these transactions or balances are denominated in Euros, British Pounds and a variety of Asian currencies. Sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately 29%37% and 37%42% of our total sales, respectively, during the threenine months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2022 and 2016.2021. These sales were made primarily by our foreign subsidiaries, which have cost structures that substantially align with the currency of sale.

In the normal course of our business, we have liquid assets denominated in non-functional currencies which include cash, short-term advances between our legal entities and accounts receivable which are subject to foreign currency exposure. Such balances were approximately $129.5$88.4 million and $51.6$119.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2017,2021, and related to the Euro, British Pound and a variety of Asian currencies. We mitigate the impact of potential currency translation losses on these short-term intercompany advances by the timely settlement of each transaction, generally within 30 days. We also utilize forward contracts to mitigate our exposures to currency movement. We incurred foreign currency gains and losses of $2.0$1.9 million and $0.5$7.3 million respectively, during the threenine months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively, which related to the currency fluctuation on these balances between the time the transaction occurred and the ultimate settlement of the transaction. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates at December 31, 2017June 30, 2022 and 20162021 would result in an approximate change of $0.6$0.1 million and $0.3less than $2.7 million, respectively, in our net income during the threenine months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2022 and 2016.2021.
