Note 1 . Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
In this quarterly report on Form 10 -Q, Mesa Laboratories, Inc., a Colorado corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Mesa.”
We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of life sciences tools and critical quality control solutions for regulated applications in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical device industries. We offer products and services to help our customers ensure product integrity, increase patient and worker safety, and improve the quality of life throughout the world. We have manufacturing operations in the United States and Europe, and our products are marketed by our sales personnel in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region ("APAC"), and by independent distributors throughout the world.
As of December 31, 2025 , we managed our operations in four reportable segments, or divisions:
● Sterilization and Disinfection Control - manufactures and sells biological, chemical and cleaning indicators used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization, decontamination, disinfection and cleaning processes in the pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare industries. The division also provides testing and laboratory services, mainly to the dental and pharmaceutical industries.
●
Biopharmaceutical Development - develops, manufactures, sells and services automated systems for protein analysis (immunoassays) and peptide synthesis solutions. Immunoassays and peptide synthesis solutions accelerate the discovery, development and manufacture of biotherapeutic therapies, among other applications.
●
Calibration Solutions - develops, manufactures, sells and services quality control products using principles of advanced metrology to enable customers to measure and calibrate critical parameters in applications such as renal care, environmental and process monitoring, gas flow and torque testing.
●
Clinical Genomics - develops, manufactures and sells highly sensitive high-throughput genetic analysis tools and related consumables and services that enable clinical research labs and contract research organizations to perform genomic testing for a broad range of research applications in several therapeutic areas, such as screenings for hereditary diseases, pharmacogenetics, oncology related applications and toxicology research.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of our financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Mesa and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have made no material changes to the application of significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 . This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in that report.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References in this report to a particular “year” or “quarter” refer to our fiscal year or fiscal quarters, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts shown in this report are in thousands.
Risks and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressures, the overall effects of economic uncertainty, regulatory changes, and other factors. Changes in, and the resulting effects of, potential government trade, stimulus or fiscal and monetary policies, interest rates, foreign currency values, supply chains, demand for goods and services, global or regional recession, or other circumstances cannot be reliably predicted. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded that, other than as described below, they are not applicable to us or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have not adopted any new accounting standards in fiscal year 2026.

Table of Contents
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which enhances the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of annual income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 ( our fiscal year 2026 ), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. Other than presentation of additional disaggregated information related to the jurisdictions in which we pay income taxes and income tax rate reconciliations in our annual income tax footnote disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023 - 09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024 - 03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024 - 03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 ( our fiscal year 2028 for annual periods) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 ( our fiscal year 2029 for interim periods), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures; we expect to disclose additional detail regarding the nature and classification of certain categories of expense once adopted.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025 - 05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Improvements to the Measurement of Credit Losses for Receivables and Contract Assets . ASU 2025 - 05 introduces a practical expedient that removes the requirement to incorporate macroeconomic forecasts into the estimation of expected credit losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Prospective adoption is required, and early adoption is permitted. We intend to early adopt ASU 2025 - 05 for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026, including interim periods. Upon adoption, we plan to elect the practical expedient allowing us to assume conditions at the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset. We do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025 - 06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350 ): Internal-Use Software . ASU 2025 - 06 modernizes accounting for costs incurred in the development of internal-use software by eliminating the requirement to evaluate distinct development stages. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2025 - 06 permits prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's annual reporting period. We intend to early adopt ASU 2025 - 06 prospectively for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2026, including interim periods. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Note 2. Revenue
We develop, manufacture, market, sell and maintain life sciences tools and quality control instruments and related consumables.
Hardware sales include physical products such as instruments used for molecular and genetic analysis, protein synthesizers, medical meters, wireless sensor systems, data loggers, and process challenge devices. Hardware sales may be offered with accompanying perpetual or annual software licenses, which in some cases are required for the hardware to function.
Consumables sold by our Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions, such as reagents used for molecular and genetic analysis or solutions used for protein synthesis, are critical to the ongoing use of our instruments. Consumables such as biological and chemical indicator test strips sold by our Sterilization and Disinfection Control division are used on a standalone basis.
Revenues from hardware and consumables are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. Control of hardware and consumables sold in the U.S. and Asia Pacific typically transfers at the point of shipment, whereas control of products sold in Europe more typically occurs upon delivery to the customer site.
We also offer maintenance, calibration and testing services. Services result in revenues recognized either over time, for example, when we are contractually obligated to perform labor and replace parts on an as-needed basis throughout a specified service period, or at a point in time, upon completion of a specific, discrete service.
We disclose revenues consistently with how management evaluates the business, i.e., based on business unit and the nature of goods and services provided.
The following tables present disaggregated revenues for the

No foreign country exceeded 10% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 .
Contract Liabilities
Our contracts have varying payment terms and conditions. Some customers prepay for products and services, resulting in contract liabilities recorded as unearned revenues or within other noncurrent liabilities in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The significant majority of our revenues, related receivables and contract liabilities arise from contracts with original durations of twelve months or less. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as we satisfy our obligations under the terms of the contracts.
A summary of contract liabilities is as follows:
Contract liabilities as of March 31, 2025
$ 14,803
Prior year liabilities recognized in revenues during the nine months ended December 31, 2025

Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025
$ 14,569
Note 3. Fair Value Measurements and Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, obligations under trade accounts payable, and debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximate fair value and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying amounts of our term loan and revolving line of credit (together, the "Credit Facility") approximate fair value due to variable interest rate pricing, with the balances bearing interest rates approximating current market rates.
There were no nonrecurring fair value adjustments or transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 .
The financial instruments that subject us to the highest concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. We maintain relationships and cash deposits at multiple banking institutions across the world in an effort to diversify and reduce risk of loss. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to customers to whom we make significant sales. No customers accounted for more than 10% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2025 .

Note 6 . Indebtedness
Credit Facility
Our secured credit agreement matures in April 2029 and includes:
(i)
A revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 125,000 (the "Revolver"),
(ii)
A term loan with a maximum principal amount of $ 75,000 , which is subject to escalating quarterly principal payments (the "Term Loan"),
(iii)
A swingline loan with an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $ 5,000 , and
(iv)
Letters of credit with an aggregate stated amount not exceeding $ 2,500 at any time.
We refer to the agreement in whole as the “Credit Facility.”
On April 5, 2024, we borrowed $ 75,000 under the Credit Facility's Term Loan to fund privately negotiated repurchases of a portion of our convertible notes ("the Notes"). On August 12, 2025, we borrowed $ 97,000 under the Revolver to fund the cash settlement of the remaining Notes, which matured on August 15, 2025 ( see "Convertible Notes" below).
Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at a SOFR rate or a base rate, plus an applicable spread that varies with our total net leverage ratio. On October 10, 2025 we amended the Credit Facility to reduce the range of the spread from 1.5 % - 3.0 % to 1.25 % - 2.50 %.
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.2 % as of December 31, 2025 and 7.2 % as of March 31, 2025.
The financial covenants in the Credit Facility include a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 on each of the testing dates between March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 and 3.5 to 1.0 on each testing date thereafter. The Credit Facility also stipulates a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.0. Other covenants include restrictions on our ability to incur debt, grant liens, make fundamental changes to our business as defined in the contract, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or conduct asset sales. As of December 31, 2025 , we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.

We are obligated to pay quarterly unused commitment fees of between 0.20 % and 0.35 % of the Revolver’s aggregate principal amount, based on our leverage ratio.
The balance of unamortized customary lender fees related to the Revolver was $ 1,103 and $ 1,203 as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Convert ible Notes

Note 7. Stockholders' Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
On August 22, 2025, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Mesa Laboratories Inc. 2021 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Equity Plan"), increasing the number of shares authorized for issuance from 660 shares to 1,156 shares, an increase of 496 shares.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2025 , we issued time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan.
Stock-based compensation expense is included in cost of revenues, selling, general and administrative, and research and development expense in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following is a summary of RSU and PSU award activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 :
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

( 1 )
Balances for PSUs granted are reflected at target.
Time-based RSUs vest and settle in shares of our common stock on a one -for- one basis. The significant majority of RSUs granted to employees during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 vest in equal installments on June 15, 2026, June 13, 2027 and June 13, 2028. RSUs granted to non-employee directors during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 vest one year from the grant date. We generally recognize expense relating to RSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For time-based RSUs granted to participants who qualify as retirement-eligible under the 2021 Equity Plan, we recognize expense either upon grant or over a shortened service period, depending on the retirement notification requirements applicable to participants.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2025 , the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a grant of 44 PSUs at target (the "FY26 PSUs") to eligible employees. The FY26 PSUs are subject to market-based performance conditions and service conditions. The market performance measurement period and service period is from June 15, 2025 through June 15, 2028. The number of shares that will be earned is based on market performance and will range from 0 % to 200 % of the target number of shares. If defined minimum targets are not met, no shares will vest.
As of December 31, 2025 , there were 133 shares subject to options outstanding, with a weighted average exercise price per share of $ 191.04 , an intrinsic value of $ 0 and a remaining contractual life of 2.3 years. Our Compensation Committee has not granted options to any plan participants in the current or prior fiscal year.
Note 8 . Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"):

( 1 ) Weighted average outstanding shares includes awards that have not yet vested and are not yet legally outstanding, but for which all vesting criteria other than the passage of time have been satisfied. For example, this includes RSUs granted to retirement-eligible employees that are not subject to continued service requirements but have not yet vested.

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS:
Three Months Ended December 31,

Stock awards that were anti-dilutive
228 406 228 202
Total stock awards excluded from diluted EPS
228 750 399 556
Potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested time and performance based RSUs (collectively "stock awards"). Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS if their inclusion would be antidilutive, or if achievement of performance-based thresholds as of our reporting date would not result in the awards vesting. Shares underlying the Notes were also potentially dilutive until maturity on August 15, 2025; however, these shares have been excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the amount of time they remained outstanding during three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as assumed conversion under the if-converted method was antidilutive in each period.
Note 9 . Income Taxes
We reported an income tax provision as follows:
Three Months Ended December 31,
Nine Months Ended December 31,
2025
2024
2025
2024
Income tax (benefit) expense
$ 966 $ ( 541 ) $ 2,759 $ 360
Effective tax rate
21.0 % 24.4 % 20.3 % 6.5 %
For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply this effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income. Each quarter, our estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. Additionally, the tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized as discrete items in the interim period in which the events occur. There is a potential for volatility in the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which they relate, changes in tax laws and foreign tax holidays, settlement with taxing authorities, and foreign currency fluctuations.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025 approximated the federal statutory rate of 21%; the effective rate was impacted by the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, offset by the foreign differential rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 differed from the statutory federal rate of 21% due to the impact of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred taxes, partially offset by the foreign rate differential.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) introduced several changes to U.S. tax legislation, with certain provisions becoming applicable to us in fiscal year 2026. These changes include the immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, accelerated tax deductions for qualified property, and modifications to certain international tax frameworks. We have incorporated the applicable provisions of OBBBA into our income tax provision as of December 31, 2025, resulting in a reduction of U.S. current tax expense. We are continuing to evaluate the impacts of the legislation on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the annual period.
Note 10 . Commitments and Contingencies
We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2025 , we are not party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our unaudited consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 11 . S egment Information
Segment information is prepared on the same basis our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our CEO, uses to assess segment performance, allocate resources, evaluate financial results, and make key operating decisions. Our four reportable segments are organized primarily by the nature of the goods and services they sell. Our CODM regularly reviews segment-level U.S. GAAP revenues and gross profit relative to forecasted and prior period amounts, as well as non-GAAP adjusted operating expense compared to budgeted amounts. Our CODM also regularly reviews non-GAAP organic revenues growth to support strategic planning and resource deployment.
