Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 18, 2025 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Alphazyme Goodwill Impairment Assessment
Description of the Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Under the goodwill impairment assessment, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount of the excess carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill included in the reporting unit. During the current year, the Company performed a quantitative assessment over the goodwill balance assigned to each reporting unit as of September 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2024. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the interim impairment assessment as of December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss relating to the Alphazyme reporting unit, which is contained in the Nucleic Acid Production segment, in the amount of $11.9 million. Total goodwill as of December 31, 2024 was $159.9 million and represented 16% of total assets.
Auditing the Company’s goodwill impairment assessments for the Alphazyme reporting unit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 was challenging and judgmental due to the estimation required by management to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. In particular, the estimates are affected by the certain significant assumptions including the revenue projections and the discount rate used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. These assumptions specific to the Alphazyme reporting unit could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our audit procedures over the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment for the Alphazyme reporting unit included, among others, assessing the reasonableness of significant assumptions discussed above, and assessing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We evaluated whether significant assumptions were reasonable by comparing them to industry data and current market forecasts, and whether such assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting unit that would result from changes in the assumptions. We also involved our valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness of the Company’s valuation methodologies and certain significant assumptions used by the Company.
Revenue with distributors
Description of the Matter
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s revenues were $259.2 million, of which a portion relates to products sold to distributors. Its distributor customers resell the products to end users.
Auditing the Company’s product sales to distributors was challenging, specifically related to the effort required to audit the respective sales activity to assess whether incentives were provided that were not properly recognized. These audit procedures involved judgmentally assessing factors including distributor customer ordering patterns, contractual terms, incentives offered, and after shipment credits or free goods as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our audit procedures over the Company’s product sales to distributor customers included, among others, performing analytical procedures to detect and investigate anomalies within the data. We also examined the terms and conditions of selected new or amended contracts with distributor customers and the impact of those terms and conditions on the Company’s recognition model. We also confirmed the terms and conditions of contracts directly with a selection of distributor customers, including whether there are side agreements and terms not formally included in the contract that may impact the Company’s revenue recognition. In addition, we directly obtained written representations from members of the commercial organization regarding the completeness of the terms and conditions reported to the legal and accounting departments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Maravai”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) provides critical products to enable the development of drugs, therapeutics, diagnostics, vaccines and support research on human diseases. Our products address the key phases of biopharmaceutical development and include complex nucleic acids for diagnostic and therapeutic applications and antibody-based products to detect impurities during the production of biopharmaceutical products.
The Company is headquartered in San Diego, California and operates in two principal businesses: Nucleic Acid Production and Biologics Safety Testing. Our Nucleic Acid Production business manufactures and sells products used in the fields of gene therapy, vaccines, nucleoside chemistry, oligonucleotide therapy and molecular diagnostics, including reagents used in the chemical synthesis, modification, labelling and purification of deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) and ribonucleic acid (“RNA”). Our core Nucleic Acid Production offerings include messenger ribonucleic acid (“mRNA”), long and short oligonucleotides, our proprietary CleanCap® capping technology and oligonucleotide building blocks, and custom enzyme development and manufacturing. Our Biologics Safety Testing business sells highly specialized analytical products for use in biologic manufacturing process development, including custom product-specific development antibody and assay development services.
Organization
We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in August 2020 for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering (“IPO”). Immediately prior to the IPO, we effected a series of organizational transactions (the “Organizational Transactions”), which, together with the IPO, were completed in November 2020, that resulted in the Company operating, controlling all of the business affairs and becoming the ultimate parent company of Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC (“Topco LLC”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. Maravai Life Sciences Holdings, LLC (“MLSH 1”), which is controlled by investment entities affiliated with GTCR, is the only other member of Topco LLC.
The Company is the sole managing member of Topco LLC, which operates and controls TriLink Biotechnologies, LLC (“TriLink”), Glen Research, LLC, Cygnus Technologies, LLC and Alphazyme, LLC (“Alphazyme”) and their respective subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Topco LLC, and, through Topco LLC and its subsidiaries, conducts its business. Because we manage and operate the business and control the strategic decisions and day-to-day operations of Topco LLC and also have a substantial financial interest in Topco LLC, we consolidate the financial results of Topco LLC, and a portion of our net (loss) income is allocated to the non-controlling interests in Topco LLC held by MLSH 1.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries.
All intercompany transactions and accounts between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity, the Company applies a qualitative approach that determines whether it has both (i) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. The Company’s determination about whether it should consolidate such VIEs is made continuously as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in a consolidation event.

Table of Contents
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates form the basis for judgments the Company makes about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions the Company may undertake in the future. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and related incremental borrowing rate, the payable to related parties pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined in Note 14), the realizability of our net deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and determination of fair value of contingent consideration. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of products, and to a much lesser extent, services in the fields of nucleic acid production and biologics safety testing. Products are sold primarily through a direct sales force and through distributors in certain international markets where the Company does not have a direct commercial presence.
Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer or distributor in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Distributors are the principal in all sales transactions with its customers. To determine revenue recognition for its arrangements with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for revenue recognition. The Company also recognizes revenue from other contracts that may include a combination of products and services, the provision of solely services, or from license fee arrangements which may be associated with the delivery of product. Where there is a combination of products and services, the Company accounts for the promises as individual performance obligations if they are concluded to be distinct. Performance obligations are considered distinct if they are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less. Contracts with customers are evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis as contracts may include multiple types of goods and services as described below.
The Company recognizes revenue from sales to customers through distributors consistently with the policies and practices for direct sales to customers, as described above.
Nucleic Acid Production
Nucleic Acid Production revenue is generated from the manufacture and sale of highly modified, complex nucleic acid products to support the needs of our of customers’ research, therapeutic and vaccine programs. The primary offering of products includes CleanCap, mRNA, specialized oligonucleotides, and enzymes. Contracts typically consist of a single performance obligation. We also sell nucleic acid products for labeling and detecting proteins in cells and tissue samples research. The Company recognizes revenue from these products in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control to the customer or distributor. Revenue for nucleic acid catalog products is recognized at a single point in time, generally upon transferring control to the customer or distributor. Revenue for contracts for certain custom nucleic acid products, with an enforceable right to payment and a reasonable margin for work performed to date, is recognized over time, based on a cost-to-cost input method over the manufacturing period. Payments received from customers in advance of manufacturing their products is recorded as deferred revenue until the products are delivered.
Biologics Safety Testing
The Company’s Biologics Safety Testing revenue is associated with the sale of host cell protein, bioprocess impurity detection, viral clearance prediction kits and associated products. We also enter into contracts that include custom antibody development, assay development, antibody affinity extraction and mass spectrometry services. These

products and services enable the detection of impurities that occur in the manufacturing of biologic drugs and other therapeutics including cell and gene therapies. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of kits and products in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control to the customer. Custom antibody development contracts consist of a single performance obligation, typically with an enforceable right to payment and a reasonable margin for work performed to date. Revenue is recognized over time based on a cost-to-cost input method over the contract term. Where an enforceable right to payment does not exist, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Assay development service contracts consist of a single performance obligation, revenue is recognized at a point in time when a successful antigen test and report is provided to the customer. Affinity extraction, mass spectrometry and other analytical services, which generally occur over a short period of time, consist of a single performance obligation to perform the service and provide a summary report to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the report to the customer or distributor.
The Company elected the practical expedient to not disclose the unfulfilled performance obligations for contracts with an original length of one year or less. The Company had no material unfulfilled performance obligations for contracts with an original length greater than one year for any period presented.
The Company accepts returns only if the products do not meet specifications and historically, the Company’s volume of product returns has not been significant. Further, no warranties are provided for promised goods and services other than assurance type warranties, which were not material for any period presented.
Revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the products and/or services. The transaction price for product sales is calculated at the contracted product selling price. The transaction price for a contract with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices for products are determined based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable. Standalone selling price of services are mostly based on time and materials. Generally, payments from customers are due when goods and services are transferred. As most contracts contain a single performance obligation, the transaction price is representative of the standalone selling price charged to customers. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized will not occur in future periods. Variable consideration has not been material to our consolidated financial statements.
Sales taxes
Sales taxes collected by the Company are not included in the transaction price as revenue as they are ultimately remitted to a governmental authority.
Shipping and handling costs
The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, revenue for shipping and handling is recognized at the same time that the related product revenue is recognized.
Contract costs
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred when the amortization period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. The costs to fulfill the contracts are determined to be immaterial and are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Contract balances
Contract assets are generated when contractual billing schedules differ from revenue recognition timing and the Company records contract receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. There were no contract asset balances as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.
Contract liabilities include billings in excess of revenue recognized, such as customer deposits and deferred revenue. Customer deposits, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue is recorded when the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. Total contract liabilities were $ 3.3 million and $ 5.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contract liabilities are generally expected to be recognized into revenue within the next twelve months.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $ 3.7 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance of $ 5.5 million a s of December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, such amount was not material for the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022.

Total revenue is attributed to geographic regions based on the bill-to location of the transaction. For all periods presented, the majority of our revenue was recognized at a point in time.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs, which are charged to customers, are included in revenue. Shipping and handling charges included in revenue were approxima tely $ 4.1 million , $ 3.5 million and $ 3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Freight and supplies costs directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of revenue.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for laboratory personnel, outside contracted services, and costs of supplies. R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in R&D are recognized as prepaid assets until the goods are received or services are rendered.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs incurred were approximatel y $ 3.5 million , $ 2.9 million and $ 2.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs relate to a cost realignment plan implemented by the Company in November 2023 to optimize business operations and match them to current market conditions. Restructuring costs are comprised of severance and other employee-related costs, facility and other exit costs, professional fees and other restructuring costs.
Employee separation costs principally consist of one-time termination benefits and other post-employment benefits. One-time termination benefits are expensed at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed over the future service period. Other post-employment benefits are expensed when the obligation is probable and the benefit amounts are estimable. Other costs associated with restructuring activities, including facility and other exist costs and professional fees, are expensed as they are incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognized stock-based compensation for all equity awards made to employees, non-employee directors and contractors based upon the awards’ estimated grant date fair value. For equity awards that vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements, compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is typically between one to four years . We account for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation is classified in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based on the function to which the related services are provided.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of these awards, such as expected term, expected dividend yield, volatility and risk-free interest rate, represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments used in making these estimates, the Company may be required to increase or decrease compensation expense, which could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.
For performance stock units (“PSUs”) which are subject to service and market conditions, compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period regardless if the market condition is satisfied. If the grantee is terminated prior to meeting both conditions, any previously recognized expense is reversed. The Company estimates the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The assumptions used in estimating the fair value of these awards, such as expected term, volatility and risk-free interest rate, represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.
For PSUs which are subject to a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period when the achievement of such performance condition is determined probable, and upon achieving such performance condition that was not previously considered as probable, records a cumulative catch-up adjustment to reflect the portion of the grantee’s requisite service that has been provided to date. If a performance condition is not determined probable or is not met, no compensation expense is recognized, and any previously recognized expense is reversed. The fair value of such PSUs is determined based on the quoted market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.
Income Taxes
We are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. We are the controlling member of Topco LLC, which has been, and will continue to be, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Topco LLC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Maravai LifeSciences International Holdings, Inc., is a taxpaying entity for U.S. and foreign jurisdictions and had limited activity subject to a transfer pricing arrangement during the year ended December 31, 2024. Topco LLC’s other subsidiaries are treated as pass-through entities for federal and state income tax purposes. The income or loss generated by these entities is not taxed at the LLC level. As required by U.S. tax law, income or loss generated by these LLCs passes through to their owners. As such, our tax provision consists solely of the activities of Maravai LifeSciences International Holdings, Inc., as well as our share of income or loss generated by Topco LLC.
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting. Current income tax expense or benefit represents the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect to recover or settle those temporary differences. We recognize the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. We reduce the
93
Table of Contents
measurement of a deferred tax asset, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that we will not realize some or all of the deferred tax asset.
The Company’s tax positions are subject to income tax audits. We account for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based upon technical merits, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Significant judgment is required in determining the accounting for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, many transactions and calculations arise where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Our judgments, assumptions and estimates relative to the accounting for income taxes take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, and possible outcomes of future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, the final tax outcome of matters could be different from our assumptions and estimates used when determining the accounting for income taxes. Such differences, if identified in future periods, could have a material effect on the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any accruals that the Company believes are appropriate, as well as any related net interest and penalties.
Payables to Related Parties Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement
The Company is party to a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with MLSH 1 and MLSH 2. The TRA provides for the payment by us to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2, collectively, of 85 % of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize, or in some circumstances are deemed to realize from exchanges of LLC Units (together with the corresponding shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock, as a result of (i) certain increases in the tax basis of assets of Topco LLC and its subsidiaries resulting from purchases or exchanges of LLC Units, (ii) certain tax attributes of the Organization Transactions and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments that we make under the TRA (collectively, the “Tax Attributes”). The payment obligations under the TRA are not conditioned upon any LLC Unitholder maintaining a continued ownership interest in us or Topco LLC and the rights of MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 under the TRA are assignable. We expect to benefit from the remaining 15 % of the tax benefits, if any, that we may actually realize.
We accrue a liability for the payable to related parties for the TRA and a reduction to stockholders’ equity, when it is deemed probable that the Tax Attributes will be used to reduce our taxable income, as the contractual percentage of the benefit of Tax Attributes that we expected to receive over a period of time. The current portion, if any, of the liability is the amount estimated to be paid within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date. For purposes of estimating the value of the payable to related parties for the TRA, the tax benefit deemed realized by us and payable to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 is computed by taking 85 % of the difference of between our undiscounted forecasted cash income tax liability over the term of benefit of the Tax Attributes and the forecasted amount of such taxes that we would have been required to pay had there been no Tax Attributes. The TRA applies to each of our taxable years, beginning with the taxable year that the TRA is entered into. There is no maximum term for the TRA and the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA for an agreed-upon amount equal to the estimated present value of the remaining payments to be made under the agreement. We may record additional liabilities under the TRA when LLC Units of Topco LLC are exchanged in the future and as our estimates of the future utilization of the tax benefits change. If, due to a change in facts, these tax attributes are not utilized in future years, it is reasonably possible no amounts would be paid under the TRA. In this scenario, the reduction of the liability under the TRA would result in a benefit to our consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent adjustments to the payable to related parties for the TRA based on changes in anticipated future taxable income are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.
Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests re present the portion of profit or loss, net assets and comprehensive income or loss of our consolidated subsidiaries that is not allocable to the Company based on our percentage of ownership of such entities.
In November 2020, following the completion of the Organizational Transactions, we became the sole managing member of Topco LLC. As of December 31, 2024 , we held approximately 56.2 % of the outstanding LLC Units of Topco LLC, and MLSH 1 held approximately 43.8 % of the outstanding LLC Units of Topco LLC. Therefore, we report non-controlling interests based on the percentage of LLC Units of Topco LLC held by MLSH 1 on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. Income or loss attributed to the non-controlling interest in Topco LLC is based on the LLC Units outstanding during the period for which the income or loss is generated and is presented on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
MLSH 1 is entitled to exchange LLC Units of TopCo LLC, together with an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock (together referred to as “Paired Interests”), for shares of our Class A common stock on a one -for-one basis or, at our election, for cash, from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale (based on the price of our Class A common
94
Table of Contents
stock in such public offering or private sale). As such, future exchanges of Paired Interests by MLSH 1 will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interests and increase or decrease additional paid-in-capital when Topco LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively.
Payments pursuant to Topco LLC Operating Agreement
The Topco LLC Operating Agreement entered into at the time of the Organizational Transactions includes a provision requiring cash distributions enabling its owners, including MLSH 1, to pay their taxes on income passing through from Topco LLC. Cash distributions of $ 0.5 million , $ 9.6 million and $ 150.2 million for tax liabilities were made to MLSH 1 during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Segment Information
The Company operates in two reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM, its Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level. All of our long-lived assets are located in the United States.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits held at financial institutions and money market funds.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers for product sales and services. The Company’s expected credit losses are developed using an estimated loss rate method that considers historical collection experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The estimated loss rates are applied to trade receivables with similar risk characteristics such as the length of time the balance has been outstanding, liquidity and financial position of the customer, and the geographic location of the customer. In certain instances, the Company may identify individual accounts receivable assets that do not share risk characteristics with other accounts receivable, in which case the Company records its expected credit losses on an individual asset basis.
The allowance for credit losses w as $ 1.2 million and $ 1.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Write-offs of accounts receivable were $ 2.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 . Write-offs of accounts receivable were not significant during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Recoveri es were not significant during any of the periods presented.
Inventory
Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average cost) or net realizable value. Inventory costs, which relate to the purchase or production of inventories, include materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. The Company regularly monitors for excess and obsolete inventory based on its estimates of expected sales volumes, production capacity and expiration of raw materials, work-in-process and finished products, and reduces the carrying value of inventory accordingly. The Company writes down inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected manufacturing requirements. Any write-downs of inventories are charged to cost of revenue.
A change in the estimated timing or amount of demand for the Company’s products could result in reduction to the recorded value of inventory quantities on hand. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand or unexpected quality failures could have a significant impact on the value of inventory and reported operating results. During all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, there have been no material adjustments related to a revised estimate of our inventory valuations.
Government Assistance
The consideration awarded to the Company by the U.S. Department of Defense is outside the scope of the contracts with customers, income tax, funded research and development, and contribution guidance. This is because the awarding entity is not considered to be a customer, the receipt of the funding is not predicated on the Company’s income tax position, there are no refund provisions, and the entity is not receiving reciprocal value for their support provided to the Company. The Company’s
95
Table of Contents
elected policy is to recognize such assistance as a reduction to the carrying amount of the assets associated with the award when it is reasonably assured that the funding will be received as evidenced through the existence of an arrangement, amounts eligible for reimbursement are determinable and have been incurred or paid, the applicable conditions under the arrangement have been met, and collectability of amounts due is reasonably assured.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Estimated Useful Life
Leasehold improvements 12 years
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and software 3 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the related lease term or useful life.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while betterments or renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.
The Company records certain government grants earned related to capital projects as a reduction to property and equipment.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s reporting units, which are components of its business for which discrete cash flow information is available one level below its operating segment. The Company conducts a goodwill impairment analysis at least annually and more frequently if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units may be less than their respective carrying amount. In performing each annual impairment assessment and any interim impairment assessment, the Company determines if it should qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount (the qualitative impairment test). If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform the qualitative impairment test, the Company then performs a quantitative impairment test.
The quantitative impairment test is performed using a one-step process. The process is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess up to the total amount of goodwill included in the reporting unit. During the third and fourth quarters of 2024, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test and recorded total goodwill impairment of $ 166.2 million (see Note 4).
Intangible Assets
The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets represent purchased intangible assets and primarily consist of trade names, customer relationships, patents, and developed technology. Certain criteria are used in determining whether finite-lived intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately. Finite-lived intangible assets are initially recognized at fair value, are subject to amortization and are subsequently recorded at amortized cost. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are intended to be consumed or otherwise used. If that pattern cannot be reliably determined, the respective intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment along with other long-lived assets. Amortization related to patents and developed technology is allocated to cost of revenue whereas amortization associated with trade names and customer relationships is allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, right-of-use lease assets and finite-lived intangible assets, to determine whether current events or circumstances may indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such facts or circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows of these assets is compared to the carrying value of the assets to determine whether impairment exists. If the assets are determined to be
96
Table of Contents
impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the respective assets. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. No impairment loss was recognized by the Company for any long-lived or intangible assets for any period presented in this report.
If the Company determines that events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization or depreciation for a specific long-lived asset, its remaining estimated useful life will be revised, and the remaining carrying amount of the long-lived asset will be depreciated or amortized prospectively over the revised remaining estimated useful life.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining new debt financing are deferred and amortized over the life of the related financing. If such financing is settled or replaced prior to maturity with debt instruments that have substantially different terms, the settlement is treated as an extinguishment and the unamortized costs are charged to gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. If such financing is settled or replaced with debt instruments from the same lender that do not have substantially different terms, the new debt agreement is accounted for as a modification for the prior debt agreement and the unamortized costs remain capitalized, the new original issuance discount costs are capitalized, and any new third-party costs are charged to expense. Deferred costs are recognized as a direct reduction in the carrying amount of the debt instrument on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company follows accounting guidance that has a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. Instruments with readily available actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price transparency and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace; and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, which consisted primarily of money market funds, time and demand deposits, trade accounts receivable, net, and trade accounts payable, approximated their carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. As of December 31, 2024 or 2023, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its carrying value, excluding the effect of unamortized debt discount, as it is based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs). See Note 5 for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Acquisitions
The Company evaluates mergers, acquisitions and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an acquisition of assets. The Company first identifies the acquiring entity by determining if the target is a legal entity or a group of assets or liabilities. If control over a legal entity is being evaluated, the Company also evaluates if the target is a variable interest or voting interest entity. For acquisitions of voting interest entities, the Company applies a screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen test is met, the transaction is accounted for as an acquisition of assets. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business.
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of acquired businesses be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price, which includes the fair value of consideration transferred, is attributed to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price may also include contingent consideration. The Company assesses whether such contingent consideration is subject to liability classification and fair value measurement or meets the definition of a derivative. Contingent consideration liabilities are recognized at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Contingent consideration arrangements that are determined to be compensatory in nature are recognized as post combination expense in our consolidated statements of operations ratably over the implied service period beginning in the period it becomes probable such amounts will become payable. The excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the
97
Table of Contents
acquiree is recorded as goodwill. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value during a period of time not to exceed twelve months from the acquisition date. The results of acquired businesses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Transaction costs directly attributable to acquired businesses are expensed as incurred.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies and assumptions about future net cash flows, discount rates and market participants. Each of these factors can significantly affect the value attributed to the identifiable intangible asset acquired in a business combination.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration represents additional consideration that may be transferred to former owners of an acquired entity in the future if certain future events occur or conditions are met. Contingent consideration resulting from the acquisition of a business is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. Such contingent consideration is re-measured to its estimated fair value at each reporting date with the change in fair value recognized within operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are classified as a non-cash adjustment to cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows because the change in fair value is an input in determining net (loss) income. Cash paid in settlement of contingent consideration liabilities are classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the acquisition date fair value with any excess classified as cash flows from operating activities.
Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities associated with the acquisition of a business can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of achieving customer-related performance targets, specified sales milestones, changes in projected revenue or changes in discount rates. Judgment is used in determining those assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent reporting period. Therefore, any changes in the fair value will impact the Company’s results of operations in such reporting period, thereby resulting in potential variability in the Company’s operating results until such contingencies are resolved.
Leases
The Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present at the inception of the arrangement and if such a lease is classified as a finance lease or operating lease. Finance leases with a term greater than one year are included in property and equipment, current portion of finance lease liabilities, and finance lease liabilities, less current portion on our consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases with a term greater than one year are included in other assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company has elected not to recognize on the consolidated balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease contract. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. In determining the net present value of lease payments, the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received and impairment charges if we determine the ROU asset is impaired.
The Company considers a lease term to be the noncancelable period that it has the right to use the underlying asset, including any periods where it is reasonably assured the Company will exercise the option to extend the contract. Periods covered by an option to extend are included in the lease term if the lessor controls the exercise of that option.
The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Variable lease payments, for items such as maintenance and utilities, are not included in the calculation of the ROU asset and the related lease liability and are recognized as this lease expense is incurred.
The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leased assets and accounts for all lease and non-lease components of its agreements as a single lease component. The lease components resulting in a ROU asset have been recorded on the balance sheet and amortized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances at multiple financial institutions that management believes are of high-credit-quality and financially stable. Cash is deposited with major financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the cash is held. The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to international and domestic distributors as well as certain customers, which are geographically dispersed. The Company attempts to limit its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintaining adequate allowances for potential credit losses.
The following table summarizes revenue from each of our customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue or accounts receivable for the periods presented:

Net (Loss) Income per Class A Common Share Attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc.
Basic net (loss) income per Class A common share attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to us by the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per Class A common share is calculated by giving effect to all potential weighted average dilutive stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and Topco LLC Units, that together with an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc., diluted net loss per Class A common share attributable to the Company is the same as basic net loss per Class A common share attributable to the Company, since dilutive equity instruments are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 .

2. Acquisitions
Alphazyme, LLC
On January 18, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Alphazyme, LLC (“Alphazyme”), a privately-held original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and provider of custom, scalable, molecular biology enzymes to customers in the genetic analysis and nucleic acid synthesis markets. The acquisition will expand the Company’s internal enzyme product portfolio and increase the Company’s differentiated mRNA manufacturing services and product offerings. Alphazyme’s ability to manufacture custom enzymes allows the Company to expand into near adjacent markets and raise our enzyme vertical.
The Company acquired Alphazyme for a total purchase consideration of $ 75.3 million, which is inclusive of net working capital adjustments. As a result of the acquisition, the Company owns all the outstanding equity interest in Alphazyme. The total cash consideration was paid using existing cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business as Alphazyme consisted of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that had the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $ 4.1 million in transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Alphazyme, which were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred to acquire Alphazyme consisted of the following (in thousands):
Cash paid (1)
$ 70,037
Fair value of contingent consideration 5,289
Total consideration transferred $ 75,326
____________________
(1) Represents cash consideration paid at closing of $ 70.1 million, net of a purchase price adjustment received in June 2023 of $ 0.1 million.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Alphazyme SPA”) between the Company and sellers of Alphazyme, additional payments to the sellers of Alphazyme are dependent upon meeting or exceeding defined revenue targets during fiscal years 2023 through 2025 (the “Alphazyme Performance Payments”). The Alphazyme SPA provides for a total maximum Alphazyme Performance Payments of $ 75.0 million. The Alphazyme Performance Payments were recorded as contingent consideration and was included as part of the purchase consideration. The Company estimated the fair value of the Alphazyme Performance Payments contingent consideration based on a Monte-Carlo simulation model which utilized an income approach. The estimated fair value was based on Alphazyme revenue projections, expected payout term, volatility and risk adjusted discount rates which are Level 3 inputs (see Note 5). The first and second performance periods applicable to the Alphazyme

Table of Contents
Performance Payments ended on December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and it was determined that the defined revenue targets were not achieved. Consequently, no payments were made to the sellers of Alphazyme. As of December 31, 2024, the Company may be required to make contingent payments to the sellers of Alphazyme of up to $ 25.0 million for the remaining performance period. The Company did not record a corresponding liability as of December 31, 2024 as payments are not deemed probable.
The Alphazyme SPA also provides that the Company will pay certain employees of Alphazyme an additional amount totaling $ 9.3 million (the “Alphazyme Retention Payments”) as of various dates but primarily through December 31, 2025 as long as these individuals continue to be employed by the Company. The Company considers the payment of the Alphazyme Retention Payments as probable and is recognizing compensation expense related to these payments in the post-acquisition period ratably over the service period of approximately three years . As of December 31, 2024, the Company has accrued $ 6.6 million of these retention payments within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 1.1 million of compensation expense related to the Alphazyme Retention Payments within cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, such amount was not material. For each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 2.2 million of compensation expense related to the Alphazyme Retention Payments within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash $ 288
Inventory 7,246
Other current assets 660
Intangible assets, net 31,680
Other assets 5,043
Total identifiable assets acquired 44,917
Current liabilities ( 482 )
Other long-term liabilities ( 11,470 )
Total liabilities assumed ( 11,952 )
Net identifiable assets acquired 32,965
Goodwill 42,361
Net assets acquired $ 75,326
We recorded the preliminary purchase price allocation in the first quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, we recorded a measurement period adjustment resulting in a decrease to goodwill of $ 0.4 million, with an equal offset to other long-term liabilities.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and therefore, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Purchase consideration in excess of the amounts recognized for the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expanded synergies expected from the acquisition associated with a vertical supply integration. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition of Alphazyme was allocated to the Company’s Nucleic Acid Production segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Upon closing of the acquisition, approximately $ 1.5 million was placed into escrow to cover potential working capital adjustments and approximately $ 3.0 million was placed into escrow to secure certain representations and warranties pursuant to the terms of the Alphazyme SPA. These amounts are included in the total purchase consideration of $ 75.3 million. $ 1.5 million was released from escrow during the second quarter of 2023, of which the Company received $ 0.1 million related to net working capital adjustments. $ 3.0 million was released from escrow to the sellers during the first quarter of 2024.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of Alphazyme’s identifiable intangible assets as of the date of acquisition and their estimated useful lives:
Estimated Fair Value
(in thousands) Estimated Useful Life
(in years)
Trade names $ 220 5
Developed technology 31,000 12
Customer relationships 460 12
Total $ 31,680
The trade name and customer relationship intangible assets are related to Alphazyme’s name, customer loyalty and customer relationships. The developed technology intangible asset is related to its unique manufacturing process optimization capability to both scale production and achieve quality standards. The fair value of these intangible assets was based on Alphazyme’s projected revenues and was estimated using an income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method for trade names, the multi-period excess earnings method for developed technology, and the distributor method for customer relationships. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The estimated fair value was developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return utilizing Level 3 inputs. The useful lives for these intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining period for which the assets were expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Key quantitative assumptions used in the determination of fair value of the developed technology intangible included revenue growth rates ranging from 3.0 % to 55.0 %, a discount rate of 17.8 % and an assumed technical obsolescent curve of 5.0 %.
The carrying value of the remaining assets acquired or liabilities assumed was estimated to equal their fair values based on their short-term nature.
MyChem, LLC
On January 27, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of MyChem, LLC (“MyChem”), a privately-held San Diego, California-based provider of ultra-pure nucleotides to customers in the diagnostics, pharma, genomics and research markets. The acquisition will vertically integrate the Company’s supply chain and expand its product offerings for inputs used in the development of therapeutics and vaccines.
The Company acquired MyChem for a total purchase consideration of $ 257.9 million, which is inclusive of net working capital adjustments. As a result of the acquisition, the Company owns all the outstanding equity interest in MyChem. The total cash consideration was paid using existing cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business as MyChem consisted of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that had the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $ 3.5 million in transaction costs associated with the acquisition of MyChem, which were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred to acquire MyChem consisted of the following (in thousands):
Cash paid (1)
$ 240,145
Consideration payable 10,000

Total consideration transferred $ 257,945
____________________
(1) Represents cash consideration paid at closing of $ 240.0 million and a purchase price adjustment paid in November 2022 of $ 0.1 million.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “MyChem SPA”) between the Company and sellers of MyChem, additional payments to the sellers of MyChem are dependent upon meeting or exceeding defined revenue targets during fiscal 2022 (the “MyChem Performance Payment”). The MyChem SPA provides for a total maximum Performance Payment of $ 40.0 million. The MyChem Performance Payment was recorded as contingent consideration and was included as part of the purchase consideration. The Company estimated the fair value of the MyChem Performance Payment contingent consideration based on a Monte-Carlo simulation model which utilized an income approach. The estimated fair value was based on MyChem revenue projections, expected payout term, volatility and risk adjusted discount rates which are Level 3 inputs (see Note 5). The

performance period applicable to the MyChem Performance Payment ended as of December 31, 2022 and it was determined that none of the defined revenue thresholds were achieved. Consequently, no payment was made to the sellers of MyChem.
The MyChem SPA also provides that the Company will pay to the sellers of MyChem an additional $ 20.0 million (the “MyChem Retention Payment”) as of the second anniversary of the closing of the acquisition date as long as two senior employees who are also the sellers of MyChem continue to be employed by TriLink. The Company considers the payment of the Retention Payment as probable and is recognizing compensation expense related to this payment in the post-acquisition period ratably over the expected service period of two years . For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 1.4 million and $ 4.3 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the MyChem Retention Payment within cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there was no such amount. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded $ 0.4 million, $ 5.1 million, and $ 9.3 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the MyChem Retention Payment within research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, there will be no further expense or payments under this arrangement.
The MyChem SPA further provides that the Company will pay to the sellers of MyChem an additional amount of up to $ 10.0 million subject to the completion of certain calculations associated with acquired inventory, which has been recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, but subsequent to the end of the measurement period, these calculations were completed and a payment of $ 9.7 million was made by the Company to the sellers. The remaining $ 0.3 million was recorded as non-cash gain within current year operations.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash $ 1,176

We recorded the preliminary purchase price allocation in the first quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded measurement period adjustments resulting in an increase to goodwill of $ 0.1 million and a decrease to other assets and current liabilities of $ 0.7 million.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and therefore, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Purchase consideration in excess of the amounts recognized for the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expanded synergies expected from the acquisition associated with a vertical supply integration. There were no tax impacts associated with the acquisition due to the pass-through income tax treatment of MyChem. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition of MyChem was allocated to the Company’s Nucleic Acid Production segment and is deductible to Topco LLC for income tax purposes.
Upon closing of the acquisition, approximately $ 1.0 million was placed into escrow to cover potential working capital adjustments and approximately $ 12.5 million was placed into escrow to secure certain representations and warranties pursuant to the terms of the MyChem SPA. These amounts are included in the total purchase consideration of $ 257.9 million. The Company released the $ 1.0 million in escrow and paid out an additional $ 0.1 million related to net working capital adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, but subsequent to the end of the measurement period, $ 12.4 million of the amounts in escrow to secure certain representations and warranties was released to the sellers and the remaining $ 0.1 million was released to the Company for indemnification of pre-closing liabilities, which was recorded within current year operations.

The trade name and customer relationship intangible assets are related to MyChem’s name, customer loyalty and customer relationships. The developed technology intangible asset is related to processes and techniques for synthesizing and developing ultra-pure nucleotides. The fair value of these intangible assets was based on MyChem’s projected revenues and was estimated using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The estimated fair value was developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return utilizing Level 3 inputs. The useful lives for these intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining period for which the assets were expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Key quantitative assumptions used in the determination of fair value of the developed technology intangible included revenue growth rates ranging from 3.0 % to 30.6 %, a discount rate of 16.5 % and an assumed technical obsolescent curve range of 5.0 % to 7.5 %.
Pursuant to the terms of the MyChem SPA, the Company recognized an indemnification asset of $ 8.0 million within other assets, which represented the seller’s obligation to reimburse pre-acquisition income tax liabilities assumed in the acquisition and was recorded within other long-term liabilities. The amount of the indemnification asset recorded as of December 31, 2024 was $ 4.1 million.
The carrying value of the remaining assets acquired or liabilities assumed was estimated to equal their fair values based on their short-term nature.
3. Restructuring
In November 2023, the Company implemented a cost realignment plan (the “Cost Realignment Plan”) that included the termination of approximately 15 % of the Company’s workforce, the termination of certain leases, and other actions to reduce expenses, all as part of a plan to optimize business operations and match them to current market conditions. The reduction in force was completed on January 5, 2024, following the end of the sixty-day notification period required by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The Cost Realignment Plan was substantially completed during the first quarter of 2024, with most of the cash payments having been disbursed prior to the end of such quarter, and the remainder having been disbursed prior to December 31, 2024. The Company does not expect to incur additional restructuring costs relating to the Cost Realignment Plan.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, restructuring charges primarily consist of the stock-based compensation benefit recognized for the forfeiture of stock awards upon the termination of certain impacted employees resulting from the Cost

(1) The Nucleic Acid Production segment had accumulated goodwill impairment of $ 166.2 million as of December 31, 2024. There had been no accumulated goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2023.
(2) The Biologics Safety Testing segment had no accumulated goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had four reporting units, three of which are contained in the Nucleic Acid Production segment. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded full goodwill impairment of $ 154.2

Table of Contents
million related to the TriLink reporting unit and a goodwill impairment of $ 11.9 million related to the Alphazyme reporting unit, which are both contained in the Nucleic Acid Production segment.
In connection with preparing its financial statements for the third quarter of 2024, the Company tested its reporting units for potential goodwill impairment in response to impairment indicators identified during the Company’s forecasting process. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company revised its long-term forecast to reflect lower projected near-term revenues due to lower demand in research and discovery products within our Nucleic Acid Production business. This revision also considered the slower than expected transition to new mRNA clinical trials as customers prioritize existing programs and more conservatively invest in new programs as the results of continued macroeconomic pressures. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test on each of its four reporting units. The Company performed the impairment test using a combination of the income and the market approach to determine whether the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow model with inputs developed using both internal and market-based data, while the market approach utilizes comparable company information. The significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow models vary amongst, and are specific to, each reporting unit and include, but are not limited to, discount rates, revenue projections, revenue growth rate assumptions (including terminal growth rates) and EBITDA margins. Discount rates were determined using a weighted average cost of capital specific to each reporting unit and other market and industry data. For TriLink, the selected discount rate was 10.5 %. These assumptions were developed in light of current market conditions and future expectations which include, but were not limited to, new product and service developments, impact of competition and future economic conditions. These estimates and assumptions represent a Level 3 measurement because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value. Based on its interim quantitative assessment, the Company concluded that the TriLink reporting unit had a carrying value that exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $ 154.2 million on the consolidated statements of operations, which was the entire goodwill balance at the reporting unit. As of the end of the third quarter of 2024, no impairment was recorded for the Company’s remaining three reporting units, as each of their fair values exceeded their respective carrying values.
In connection with preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company tested its reporting units for potential goodwill impairment in response to impairment indicators identified during the Company’s forecast process and the sustained decline in its stock price. As of December 31, 2024, the Company revised its long-term forecast to reflect lower projected near-term revenues due to lower demand in enzyme products within its Nucleic Acid Production business. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test on each of its reporting units with goodwill. The Company performed the December 31, 2024 impairment test using a combination of the income and the market approach to determine whether the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow model with inputs developed using both internal and market-based data, while the market approach utilizes comparable company information. The significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow models vary amongst, and are specific to, each reporting unit and include, but are not limited to, discount rates, revenue, revenue growth rate assumptions (including terminal growth rates) and EBITDA margin. Discount rates were determined using a weighted average cost of capital specific to each reporting unit and other market and industry data. For Alphazyme, the selected discount rate was 28.5 %. These assumptions were developed in light of current market conditions and future expectations which include, but were not limited to, new product and service developments, the impact of competition and future economic conditions. These estimates and assumptions represent a Level 3 measurement because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Based on its quantitative assessment, the Company concluded that the Alphazyme reporting unit had a carrying value that exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $ 11.9 million on the consolidated statements of operations. No impairment was recorded for any of the Company’s other reporting units with goodwill at this time, as each of their fair values exceeded their respective carrying values.
Intangible Assets
In conjunction with the goodwill impairment tests performed during each of the third and fourth quarters of 2024, the Company also evaluated the recoverability of its long-lived assets (including finite-lived intangible assets). The Company performed the impairment test by comparing the respective carrying value of the assets to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such assets. Based on the impairment tests, it was determined that the carrying value of the asset groups did not exceed their respective current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis. As a result, no impairment for long-lived assets (including finite-lived intangible assets) was recorded.
Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which reflects the expected pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being obtained, over an estimated useful life ranging from 3 to 14 years.

Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of Alphazyme (see Note 2), the Company was initially required to make contingent payments to the sellers of Alphazyme of up to $ 75.0 million, subject to Alphazyme achieving certain revenue thresholds during each of the fiscal years 2023 through 2025. The preliminary fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration recognized upon the completion of the acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheet was $ 5.3 million. The preliminary fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation-based model discounted to present value. Assumptions used to determine the fair value were expected revenue, a discount rate of 17.8 % and various probability factors. The ultimate settlement of the contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on actual revenues. The contingent consideration consists of three Performance Payments for each of the performance periods, with the first and second payments (to the extent earned) due in 2024 and 2025, respectively. For the first and second performance periods which ended on December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, it was determined that the defined revenue targets were not achieved. Consequently, no payments for contingent consideration were made to the sellers of Alphazyme. As of December 31, 2024, the Company may be required to make contingent payments to the sellers of Alphazyme of up to $ 25.0 million for the remaining performance period.
This contingent consideration liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is remeasured each reporting period. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration are recognized as a gain or loss and recorded within change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a decrease of $ 2.0 million i n the estimated fair value of contingent consideration. This was due to a change in estimates associated with the expected achievement of the Alphazyme revenue thresholds that would require the Company to make a contingent consideration payment under the Alphazyme SPA.

7. Government Assistance
Cooperative Agreement
TriLink has a cooperative agreement (the “Cooperative Agreement”) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), to advance the development of domestic manufacturing capabilities and to expand TriLink’s domestic production capacity in its San Diego manufacturing campus (the “Flanders San Diego Facility”) for products critical to the development and manufacture of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. The Flanders San Diego Facility consists of two buildings (“Flanders I” and “Flanders II”), however, the Cooperative Agreement is exclusively involved in Flanders I.
The Cooperative Agreement requires the Company to provide the U.S. Government with conditional priority access and certain preferred pricing obligations for a 10-year period from the completion of the construction project for the production of a medical countermeasure (or a component thereof) that the Company manufactures in the Flanders San Diego Facility during a declared public health emergency.
Pursuant to certain requirements, TriLink was awarded an amount equal to $ 38.8 million or 50 % of the construction and validation costs currently budgeted for the Flanders San Diego Facility. The contract period of performance is May 2022 through March 2035, which is the effective date of the Cooperative Agreement through the anticipated expiration of the 10-year conditional priority access period. Amounts reimbursed are subject to audit and may be recaptured by the HHS in certain circumstances.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has received $ 7.1 million and $ 12.9 million, respectively, of reimbursements under the Cooperative Agreement with equal offsets recorded to property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded receivables of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other current assets, with equal offsets to property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets.

8. Leases
All of the Company's facilities, including office, laboratory and manufacturing space, are occupied under long-term non-cancelable lease arrangements with various expiration dates through 2038, some of which include options to extend up to 20 years. The Company does not have any leases that include residual value guarantees.
The Company has a $ 0.5 million outstanding letter of credit as security for a lease agreement for a facility in San Diego, California, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 10).

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into certain unconditional purchase obligations with our suppliers. These are agreements to purchase products and services that are enforceable, legally binding, and specify terms that include provisions with respect to quantities, pricing and timing of purchases.
Amounts purchased under these obligations totaled $ 6.1 million and $ 3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Such amounts were not material for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for a loss contingency when it determines that it is probable, after consultation with counsel, that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes that the results of any such contingencies, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On March 3, 2025, a purported stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and certain officers of the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, captioned Nelson v. Maravai Lifesciences Holdings, Inc., et al. (the “Securities Class Action”). The Securities Class Action generally alleges that the Company and certain officers of the Company violated federal securities laws by making allegedly materially false or misleading statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of investors who purchased or acquired the Company’s stock between August 7, 2024 and February 24, 2025. The Securities Class Action seeks, among other things, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The case is in its very early stages. The Company anticipates that motions for appointment of a lead plaintiff will be due in early May 2025.
The Company intends to vigorously defend the Securities Class Action. The Company cannot reasonably estimate any loss or range of loss that may arise from the Securities Class Action.
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, customers and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties, and losses arising from breach of representations, warranties and covenants to counterparties set forth in agreements with such parties. We have also agreed to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under applicable state laws pursuant to standard director and officer indemnification agreements and our corporate charter and bylaws. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. We have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and are not currently aware of any indemnification claims.
10. Long-Term Debt
Credit Agreement
Maravai Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Topco LLC, along with certain of its subsidiaries (together with Intermediate, the “Borrowers”) are parties to a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $ 600.0 million term loan facility, maturing October 2027 (the “Term Loan”) and a $ 167.0 million revolving credit facility, maturing October 2029 (subject to springing maturity provisions based on the maturity of the Term Loan) (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable interest rate margin.
As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 7.62 % per annum.
The Revolving Credit Facility also provides availability for the issuance of letters of credit up to an aggregate limit of $ 20.0 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a $ 0.5 million outstanding letter of credit as security for a lease agreement, which reduced the availability for the future issuance of letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility to $ 19.5 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Topco LLC, together with the existing and future material domestic subsidiaries of Topco LLC (subject to certain exceptions), as specified in the respective guaranty agreements. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are also secured by a first-priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets (subject to certain exceptions) of existing and future material domestic subsidiaries of Topco LLC that are loan parties.

Table of Contents
In January 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to refinance the previous term loan and to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with a Term SOFR based rate. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 0.2 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022. As part of the refinancing, the Company incurred $ 0.9 million of various costs, of which an insignificant amount was related to an original issuance discount, and were all capitalized in the accompanying balance sheet within long-term debt and are subject to amortization over the term of the refinanced debt as an adjustment to interest expense using the effective interest method.
In September 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, which extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility and reduced the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on partial extinguishment of debt of $ 0.2 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. As part of the refinancing, the Company incurred $ 1.2 million of costs, of which $ 1.1 million was related to an arranger fee, and were all capitalized in the accompanying balance sheet within assets as there is no borrowing balance outstanding related to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, capitalized financing costs totaled $ 1.8 million and are recorded within other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Term Loan requires mandatory quarterly principal payments of $ 1.4 million, which began in March 2022, and all remaining outstanding principal is due on maturity in October 2027. The Term Loan includes prepayment provisions that allow the Company, at our option, to repay all or a portion of the outstanding principal at any time. In December 2024, the Company voluntarily pre-paid, using cash on hand, $ 228.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. There were no prepayment penalties associated with this prepayment of principal. As a result of the prepayment, the Company recorded a loss on partial extinguishment of debt of $ 3.0 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs.
The Revolving Credit Facility allows the Company to repay and borrow from time to time until its maturity date, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we are required to repay borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility with the proceeds of certain occurrences, such as the incurrence of debt, certain equity contributions and certain asset sales or dispositions.
Accrued interest under the Credit Agreement is payable by us (a) quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans, (b) at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three-month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to Term SOFR rate loans, (c) on the date of any repayment or prepayment and (d) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). An annual commitment fee is applied to the daily unutilized amount under the Revolving Credit Facility at 0.375 % per annum, with one stepdown to 0.25 % per annum based on Intermediate’s first lien net leverage ratio calculation.
The Credit Agreement requires that we make mandatory prepayments on the Term Loan principal upon certain excess cash flow, subject to certain step-downs based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio. The excess cash flow shall be reduced to 25 % or 0 % of the calculated excess cash flow if the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio was equal to or less than 4.75 :1.00 or 4.25 :1.00, respectively, however, no prepayment shall be required to the extent excess cash flow calculated for the respective period is equal to or less than $ 10.0 million. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio was less than 4.25 :1.00. Thus, a mandatory prepayment on the Term Loan out of our excess cash flow was not required.
The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including, among other things, covenants limiting our ability to incur or prepay certain indebtedness, pay dividends or distributions, dispose of assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, make acquisitions or other investments and make changes to the nature of the business. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a certain net leverage ratio if the outstanding debt balance on the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 35.0 % of the aggregate amount of available credit of $ 167.0 million, or $ 58.5 million. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Cap
The Company was party to an interest rate cap agreement to manage a portion of its variable interest rate risk on its outstanding long-term debt. Under the terms of the contract, the Company was entitled to receive from the counterparty, at each calendar quarter end, the amount, if any, by which a specified defined floating market rate exceeded the cap strike interest rate, applied to the contract’s notional amount of $ 500.0 million. The floating rate of interest was reset at the end of each three-month period. The contract expired on January 19, 2025.
The interest rate cap agreement was not designated as a hedging relationship and was recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value of $ 1.4 million, within prepaid expenses and other current assets, as of December 31, 2024 and $ 8.6 million, within other assets, as of December 31, 2023. Changes in fair value were recognized within interest expense in the consolidated

In November 2020, in connection with the Organizational Transactions, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, provide for the (i) authorization of 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $ 0.01 per share; (ii) authorization of 300,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $ 0.01 per share; (iii) authorization of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.01 per share.
Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Except as otherwise required in the Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote. Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends, and upon the Company’s dissolution or liquidation, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive the Company’s pro rata remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of Maravai’s Class B common stock are not entitled to receive dividends and will not be entitled to receive any distributions upon dissolution or liquidation of Maravai. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock do not have preemptive or subscription rights. As of December 31, 2024, no preferred stock was outstanding.
We are required to, at all times, maintain (i) a one -to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding and the number of LLC Units owned by us and (ii) a one -to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by the MLSH 1 and the number of LLC Units owned by the MLSH 1. We may issue shares of Class B common stock only to the extent necessary to maintain these ratios. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Units if we, at the election of MLSH 1, exchange LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock. All Class B common stock that is transferred shall be automatically retired and cancelled and shall no longer be outstanding.
Exchange of Topco LLC Units and Block Trade
In May 2024, MLSH 1 exchanged 8,409,946 LLC Units of Topco LLC (paired with an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock) for 8,409,946 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. Upon receipt by the Company, the shares of our Class B common stock were subsequently cancelled and retired. Following the exchange, MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 sold an aggregate of 9,940,974 shares of our Class A common stock in a block trade (“May 2024 Block Trade”).
The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by either MLSH 1 or MLSH 2, but did incur legal and other costs associated with the May 2024 Block Trade, which were not significant.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, MLSH 1 did not exchange any Paired Interests.
Structuring Transactions
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Alphazyme (see Note 2), the Company undertook a series of structuring transactions (the “Structuring Transactions”), including:
• On January 18, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Alphazyme (see Note 2).
• On January 19, 2023, the Company entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Alphazyme Holdings, Inc. (“Alphazyme Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company contributed all such membership interests in Alphazyme (the “Alphazyme Membership Interest”) to Alphazyme Holdings.
• On January 22, 2023, Alphazyme Holdings entered into a contribution and exchange agreement (the “Contribution and Exchange Agreement”) with Topco LLC, pursuant to which it contributed all of the Alphazyme Membership Interests to TopCo LLC in exchange for 5,059,134 newly-issued LLC Units of Topco LLC at a price per unit of $ 13.87 , which was equal to the 50-day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock as calculated on January 18, 2023 (the “Contribution and Exchange”).
• Immediately following the Contribution and Exchange, the Company entered into a forfeiture agreement (the “Forfeiture Agreement”) with Alphazyme Holdings, TopCo LLC and MLSH 1, a related party, pursuant to which each of the Company (together with Alphazyme Holdings) and MLSH 1 agreed to forfeit 5,059,134 and 4,871,970 LLC Units, respectively, representing 3.7 % of the Company’s (together with Alphazyme Holdings) and MLSH 1’s respective LLC Units of Topco LLC, and an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, were forfeited by MLSH 1, in each case for no consideration.
These were considered transactions between entities under common control. As a result, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the these transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.
12. Net (Loss) Income Per Class A Common Share Attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc.
Basic net (loss) income per Class A common share has been calculated by dividing net (loss) income for the period, adjusted for net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests, by the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per Class A common share gives effect to potentially dilutive securities by application of the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable. Diluted net (loss) income per Class A common share attributable to the Company is computed by adjusting the net (loss) income and the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding to give effect to potentially diluted securities. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc., diluted net loss per Class A common share attributable to the Company is the same as basic net loss per Class A common share attributable to the Company, since dilutive equity instruments are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of the Company, and are therefore not participating securities. As such, a separate presentation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (in thousands):

Shares underlying contingently issuable awards that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per Class A common share attributable to the Company for that period. The Company had contingently issuable PSUs outstanding that did not meet the market and performance conditions as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per Class A common share attributable to the Company. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was insignificant as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
13. Stock-Based Compensation
In November 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for an automatic increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder on January 1 of each of the first 10 calendar years during the term of the 2020 Plan, by the lesser of (i) 4 % of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of increase or (ii) such number of shares of
117
Table of Contents
Class A common stock determined by our board of directors or compensation committee. Shares of Class A common stock subject to an award that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares and shares withheld to pay the exercise price of, or to satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to, an award will again be available for delivery pursuant to other awards under the 2020 Plan.
All awards granted under the 2020 Plan are intended to be treated as (i) stock options, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”), (ii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (iii) restricted share awards (“RSAs”), (iv) restricted stock units (“RSUs”), (v) performance awards, (vi) dividend equivalents, or (vii) other stock or cash awards as may be determined by the plan’s administrator from time to time. The term of each option award shall be no more than 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of a stock option shall not be less than 100 % (or, in the case of an ISO granted to a ten percent stockholder, 110 %) of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2024, only stock options, RSUs and PSUs have been issued.
In November 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to assist employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company and to encourage them to remain in the employment of the Company. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during specified six-month purchase periods. The price of shares purchased under the ESPP is equal to the lower of the grant date price less a 15 % discount or a 15 % discount to the market closing price on the date of purchase.
Compensation expense recognized for the ESPP was insignificant for all periods presented.
The Company began issuing PSUs during 2022 to certain executive employees under the 2020 Plan. Certain PSUs vest only if the executive employee satisfies a service-based vesting condition and market condition. The executive employee must remain employed through the third anniversary of the grant date. The award is eligible to vest based on the achievement of certain price targets of the Company’s stock price over a defined performance period. Certain other PSUs are subject to a performance condition being satisfied. The award is eligible to vest upon achievement of certain revenue-based performance goals and are subject to continued service over a defined performance period.
Compensation expense recognized for these PSUs was insignificant for all periods presented.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant or any other measurement date. The assumptions and estimates are as follows:
• Expected term - The expected term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method. Our historical share option exercise information is limited due to a lack of sufficient data points and does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term.
• Expected volatility - The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of peer public companies within our industry that are considered to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock-based awards, since our stock trading history is limited.
• Risk-free interest rate - The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the stock-based awards’ expected term.
• Expected dividend yield - The expected dividend yield is zero as we have no plans to make dividend payments.

As a result of the Organizational Transactions, IPO, and subsequent exchanges and financing, we acquired LLC Units and recognized a deferred tax asset for the difference between the financial reporting and tax basis of our investment in Topco LLC which included net deferred tax assets of $ 0.0 million primarily associated with: (i) $ 584.3 million related to temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of our Company’s investment in Topco LLC, (ii) $ 0.0 million related to tax benefits from future deductions attributable to payments under the TRA, (iii) $ 3.3 million related to the capital loss carryforwards, (iv) $ 93.8 million related to net operating loss carryforwards, (v) $ 10.0 million related to disallowed interest carryforwards, and (vi) $ 693.1 million valuation allowance on these and other items.
The valuation allowance increased by $ 51.0 million and $ 618.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The realizability of the Company’s deferred tax asset related to its investment in Topco LLC depends on the Company receiving allocations of tax deductions for its tax basis in the investment and on the Company generating sufficient taxable income to fully offset such deductions. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective evidence evaluated during the year ended December 31, 2024 was our current year and projected future pre-tax losses. Due to our recent history of current year and projected near-term pre-tax losses, we determined that the negative evidence outweighs the positive evidence and so it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be utilized, and therefore the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The objective negative evidence is difficult to overcome and limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections of future growth. It is possible in the foreseeable future that there may be sufficient positive evidence, and that the objective negative evidence related to pre-tax losses will no longer be present, in which event the Company could release a portion or all of the valuation allowance. Release of any amount of valuation allowance would result in a benefit to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net earnings.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $ 3.6 million and $ 5.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company expects our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $ 2.9 million in the next twelve months due to statute expiration. The Company recognizes interest related to uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense, including $ 0.3 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and is not under audit by taxing authorities in any of these jurisdictions. With exceptions for certain states, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2021.
Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement
We are a party to a TRA with MLSH 1 and MLSH 2. The TRA provides for the payment by us to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2, collectively, of 85 % of the amount of certain tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize, or in some circumstances are deemed to realize, as a result of the Organizational Transactions, IPO and any subsequent purchases or exchanges of LLC Units of Topco LLC. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15 % of any cash tax savings that it realizes.
We recognize the amount of TRA payments expected to be paid within the next 12 months and classify this amount as current. This determination is based on our estimate of taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there was no current liability under the TRA.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has derecognized the remaining $ 683.8 million non-current liability under the TRA after concluding it was not probable that the Company will be able to realize the remaining tax benefits based on estimates of future taxable income. There have been no changes to our position as of December 31, 2024. The estimation of liability under the TRA is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income in the future. If the Company concludes in a future period that the tax benefits are more likely than not to be realized and releases its valuation allowance, the corresponding TRA liability amounts may be considered probable at that time and recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and within earnings.
We made payments of $ 7.3 million to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 pursuant to the TRA during the year ended December 31, 2024, of which $ 0.2 million is related to interest. We made payments of $ 42.6 million to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 pursuant to the TRA during the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $ 0.4 million was related to interest. We made payments of $ 35.3 million to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 pursuant to the TRA during the year ended December 31, 2022, of which $ 1.1 million was related to interest. As of December 31, 2024 there were no liabilities under the TRA. As of December 31, 2023, our liabilities under the TRA were $ 7.1 million.

Tax Distributions to Topco LLC’s Owners
Topco LLC is subject to an operating agreement put in place at the date of the Organizational Transactions (“LLC Operating Agreement”). The LLC Operating Agreement has numerous provisions related to allocations of income and loss, as well as timing and amounts of distributions to its owners. This agreement also includes a provision requiring cash distributions enabling its owners to pay their taxes on income passing through from Topco LLC. These tax distributions are computed based on an assumed income tax rate equal to the sum of (i) the maximum combined marginal federal and state income tax rate applicable to an individual and (ii) the net investment income tax. The assumed income tax rate ranges from 46.7 % to 54.1 % in certain cases where the qualified business income deduction is unavailable.
In addition, under the tax rules, Topco LLC is required to allocate taxable income disproportionately to its unit holders. Because tax distributions are determined based on the holder of LLC Units who is allocated the largest amount of taxable income on a per unit basis, but are made pro rata based on ownership, Topco LLC is required to make tax distributions that, in the aggregate, will likely exceed the amount of taxes Topco LLC would have otherwise paid if it were taxed on its taxable income at the assumed income tax rate. Topco LLC is subject to entity level taxation in certain states and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to entity level U.S. and foreign income taxes. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations include income tax expense related to those states and to U.S. and foreign jurisdictions where Topco LLC or any of our subsidiaries are subject to income tax.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, Topco LLC paid tax distributions of $ 1.1 million to its owners, including $ 0.6 million to us. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Topco LLC paid tax distributions of $ 20.3 million to its owners, including $ 10.7 million to us. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Topco LLC paid tax distributions of $ 310.0 million to its owners, including $ 159.8 million to us.
As of December 31, 2024, no amounts for tax distributions have been accrued as such payments were made during the period.
15. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan (the “Maravai LifeSciences 401(k) Plan”) pursuant to which eligible employees can elect to contribute to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations, on a pretax basis. The Company provides for a cash match of up to 50 % of employee contributions up to the first 6 % of salary.
Total contributions by the Company to the Maravai LifeSciences 401(k) Plan was approximately $ 1.9 million , $ 2.1 million and $ 1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
16. Related Party Transactions
MLSH 1’s majority owner is GTCR, LLC (“GTCR”). The Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and General Counsel are executives of MLSH 1 and MLSH 2.
Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement
Concurrent with the completion of the IPO, the Company entered into a TRA with MLSH 1 and MLSH 2. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made TRA payments to both MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 (see Note 14).
Contribution, Exchange and Forfeiture Agreement with MLSH 1
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Alphazyme, the Company undertook a series of structuring transactions (see Note 11).
Topco LLC Operating Agreement
MLSH 1 is party to the Topco LLC operating agreement put in place at the date of the Organizational Transactions. This agreement includes a provision requiring cash distributions enabling its owners to pay their taxes on income passing through from Topco LLC. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made distributions of $ 0.5 million, $ 9.6 million and $ 150.2 million for tax liabilities to MLSH 1 under this agreement, respectively.
17. Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s operating segments are the same as its reportable segments. Segment results are
123
Table of Contents
presented in the same manner as we present our operations internally to make operating decisions and assess performance. The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1). The Company’s financial performance is reported in two segments. A description of each segment follows:
• Nucleic Acid Production : focuses on the manufacturing and sale of highly modified nucleic acids products to support the needs of customers’ research, therapeutic and vaccine programs. This segment also provides research products for labeling and detecting proteins in cells and tissue samples.
• Biologics Safety Testing : focuses on the manufacturing and sale of host cell protein, bioprocess impurity detection, viral clearance prediction kits and associated products. This segment also provides services for custom antibody development, assay development, antibody affinity extraction and mass spectrometry that are utilized by our customers in their biologic drug manufacturing spectrum.
The Company has determined that adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the profit or loss measure that the CODM uses to make resource allocation decisions and evaluate segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA assists management in comparing the segment performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations and, therefore, are not included in measuring segment performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain non-cash items and other adjustments that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period. Corporate costs, net of eliminations, are managed on a standalone basis and not allocated to segments.

___________________
(1) Expenses are adjusted to remove the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations, and, therefore, are not included in measuring segment performance.
(2) Other segment items for each reportable segment include realized and unrealized loss (gain) on foreign exchange transactions.
(3) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, stock-based compensation benefit of $ 1.2 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively, related to forfeited stock awards in connection with the restructuring is included on the stock-based compensation line item.
There was no intersegment revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, intersegment revenue was immaterial between the Nucleic Acid Production and Biologics Safety Testing segments. The intersegment sales and the related gross margin on inventory recorded at the end of the period are eliminated for consolidation purposes. Internal selling prices for intersegment sales are consistent with the segment’s normal retail price offered to external parties. There was no commission expense recognized for intersegment sales for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
The Company does not allocate assets to its reportable segments as they are not included in the review performed by the CODM for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources.

18. Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)
The Company identified an error during the year-end financial close process with respect to revenue recognition associated with a single shipment that resulted in approximately $ 3.9 million in revenue being recorded in the final week of the second quarter of 2024 upon shipment when it should have been recorded in the first week of the third quarter of 2024 upon receipt by the customer.
As a result, the Company has restated the interim financial statements for the second and third quarters of 2024 associated with the abovementioned shipment. Relevant restated financial information is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in the tables that follow. As part of the restatement, the Company also recorded other immaterial adjustments to correct the misstatements for the impacted periods. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
