+Added: The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill as of January 1 of each year, or more frequently if facts or circumstances indicate it is more-likely-than not that a reporting unit may be impaired.
+Added: The Company first has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, or to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment.
+Added: As of January 1, 2025, the Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment where the Company determined the fair value of each reporting unit and compared the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount.
+Added: The Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit based on a combination of an income approach, that utilizes discounted cash flows specific to each reporting unit, and a market approach, that considers guideline public company market multiples.
+Added: We identified auditing the Company’s estimates of the fair value of each reporting unit for purposes of its goodwill impairment assessment as a critical audit matter.
+Added: The performance of audit procedures related to management's estimates of the fair value of each reporting unit required extensive audit effort, including the use of our valuation specialists with specialized skill and knowledge pertaining to valuation techniques.

−Removed: In addition to testing definite-lived intangible assets for impairment in our Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions, we also quantitatively tested trademarks and trade names which were previously identified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in our Biopharmaceutical Development division.
−Removed: We concluded the trademarks and trade names were not impaired;
−Removed: however, as of our impairment testing date on January 1, 2024, we have assigned a useful life of 10 years from the original acquisition date to these assets in response to increased pressures and risks in the biopharmaceutical industry resulting from macroeconomic influences.
−Removed: The trademarks and trade names will now amortize through October 2029, resulting in additional expected non-cash amortization expense of approximately $ 700 per year.
−Removed: We reassessed the remaining useful lives of our intangible assets in conjunction with our impairment testing and made no further material changes to our expectations of the remaining useful lives of our intangible assets because, while the value of certain assets has diminished since acquisition, the expected duration of their usefulness has not changed in response to the macroeconomic and other factors leading to the impairment losses.
+Added: Fiscal year 2024 goodwill impairment losses recorded in our Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions totaling $ 156,892 and impairments of other intangible assets in our Clinical Genomics division totaling $ 117,641 were primarily the result of higher weighted average cost of capital, which decreases the fair value of businesses, as well as downward revisions of expected future performance in fiscal year 2024.

−Removed: In conjunction with our annual impairment testing, we engaged external valuation specialists to aid in performing recoverability tests, and ultimately fair value tests, over intangible assets in our Clinical Genomics division and both reporting units (Immunoassays and Peptides) of our Biopharmaceutical Development division.
−Removed: Fair value testing was performed by weighting Gordon Growth and Exit Multiple discounted cash flow models and guideline public company models ( one -year forward multiples), relying on unobservable Level 3 inputs, including but not limited to, discount rates, expected useful lives, applicable competitors, and anticipated revenues growth and margins.
−Removed: Inputs were established through discussions between Management and our valuation specialists and are based on internal expectations for future performance, market indicators, and reputable valuation research resources.
−Removed: Impairment losses are recorded in either Impairment of finite-lived intangible assets or Impairment of goodwill in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
−Removed: As of the date of our annual goodwill impairment testing, January 1, 2024, the total fair values of the Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions were $58,900 and $ 119,000 , respectively.
−Removed: Impairment losses resulted in a 0% cushion between the fair and carrying values of our Clinical Genomics division and the Immunoassays reporting unit within our Biopharmaceutical Development division as of our January 1, 2024 impairment testing date.
−Removed: The fair value of the Peptides reporting unit within our Biopharmaceutical Development division exceeded carrying value by approximately 36 % as of our testing date, and no impairment losses were recorded for this reporting unit.
−Removed: The goodwill associated with each of Clinical Genomics, Immunoassays, and Peptides reporting units as of March 31, 2024 was $ 16,940 , $ 32,807 , and $ 13,708 , respectively.
−Removed: As such, the Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions are susceptible to further impairment losses in the future if actual results differ significantly from our estimates.
−Removed: Assumptions used in goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests include unobservable Level 3 inputs and estimates that are subject to uncertainty, such that there is a reasonable possibility that further impairment losses, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements, will occur in the Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions in the future.
−Removed: We monitor each of our divisions for indicators of impairment on a quarterly basis.
−Removed: Several changes to the Clinical Genomics division occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 that were incorporated into our impairment analyses and contributed to the recognized impairment loss.
−Removed: First, we enacted changes in our management structure, whereby a new General Manager was assigned to lead the division.
−Removed: Immediately, the new manager began restructuring the division, eliminating 17 positions.
−Removed: Additionally, new division management began to implement an updated business strategy, which resulted in a downward revision of financial expectations for the coming years, particularly the next 1.5 – 2 years, but which will better position the division to achieve sustainable long-term growth.
−Removed: Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we lost two individually immaterial customer contracts as continued economic difficulties resulted in their bankruptcy.
−Removed: These internal changes, coupled with difficult macroeconomic conditions described further below ultimately contributed to the impairment losses recorded related to the Clinical Genomics division.
−Removed: Throughout fiscal year 2024, we performed regular analyses comparing the results of the Biopharmaceutical Development division with our expectations at the time of purchase.
−Removed: Our analyses in the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 indicated that reporting units associated with the Biopharmaceutical Development division more likely than not were not impaired, in part because actual operating costs to date had been lower than were expected at acquisition.
−Removed: However, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, persistent difficult macroeconomic trends resulted in a downward revision of financial expectations for the coming years compared to when the division was acquired, ultimately resulting in a downward revision of previous forecasts of the division’s results, particularly after the division failed to meet our revenue expectations during the fourth quarter.
−Removed: Conditions that negatively impacted both the Clinical Genomics and the Biopharmaceutical Development division included:
−Removed: significant increases in discount rates used to value the reporting units due elevated risk-free rates and macroeconomic risk in the market;
−Removed: ● macroeconomic factors, particularly in the biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical markets, including decreased spending on capital equipment and consolidation of some served customers;
−Removed: continued uncertainty in the wider macroeconomic environment, including persistently elevated interest rates compared to when the acquisitions were consummated;
−Removed: macroeconomic uncertainty in China, which resulted in lower than expected capital equipment purchases;
−Removed: continuing high interest rates limiting our customers’ spend on capital equipment.
−Removed: The nature of our Sterilization and Disinfection Control and Calibration Solutions divisions makes them less sensitive to existing macroeconomic conditions, particularly since the product lines offered by these divisions do not require our customers to initially invest in high-dollar capital equipment to the same degree as in our Clinical Genomics and Biopharmaceutical Development divisions.
