NEOGEN CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Neogen Corporation and subsidiaries ("Neogen," "we," "our" or the "Company") develop, manufacture and market a diverse line of products and services dedicated to food and animal safety. Our Food Safety segment consists primarily of diagnostic test kits and complementary products (e.g., culture media) sold to food producers and processors to detect dangerous and/or unintended substances in human food and animal feed, such as foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, natural toxins, food allergens, genetic modifications, ruminant by-products, meat speciation, drug residues, pesticide residues and general sanitation concerns. The majority of the test kits are disposable, single-use, immunoassay and DNA detection products that rely on proprietary antibodies and RNA and DNA testing methodologies to produce rapid and accurate test results. Our expanding line of food safety products also includes genomics-based diagnostic technology, and advanced software systems that help testers objectively analyze and store, as well as perform analysis on, their results from multiple locations over extended periods.

Neogen’s Animal Safety segment is engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of veterinary instruments, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, topicals, parasiticides, diagnostic products, rodent control products, cleaners, disinfectants, insect control products and genomics testing services for the worldwide animal safety market. The majority of these consumable products are marketed through veterinarians, retailers, livestock producers and animal health product distributors. Our line of drug detection products is sold worldwide for the detection of abused and therapeutic drugs in animals and animal products, and has expanded into the workplace and human forensic markets.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Neogen Corporation (“Neogen” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2024. For more complete financial information, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We translate our non-U.S. operations’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Management has designated certain intercompany loans as long-term in nature and, therefore, the gains and losses on remeasurement of these loans are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

7

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income represents net (loss) income and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net (loss) income and recognized directly as a component of equity. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our marketable securities and derivative instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our revolving credit agreement, and long-term debt, approximate their fair value based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

Leases

We lease various manufacturing, laboratory, warehousing and distribution facilities, administrative and sales offices, equipment and vehicles under operating leases. We evaluate our contracts to determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as a finance or operating lease. Currently, many of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in other assets, other accruals and other non-current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in net property and equipment and current portion of finance lease on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs associated with operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. Costs associated with finance leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within depreciation and interest expense over the term of the lease. The right-of-use operating lease assets were $15,301 and $11,933 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The total current and non-current operating lease liabilities were $15,771 and $12,089 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The finance lease assets were $2,496 as of February 29, 2024. There were no finance leases recorded as of May 31, 2023. See Note 10, "Debt", for detail on the finance lease liabilities.

8

Derivatives

The Company operates on a global basis and is exposed to the risk that its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions and has also entered into interest rate swap contracts as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. On the date the derivative is established, the Company designates the derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge in accordance with its established policy. Each reporting period, derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The change in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and amounts are reclassified into earnings on the condensed consolidated statement of income when transactions are realized. Derivatives that are not determined to be effective hedges are adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, variable consideration related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, the market value of, and demand for, inventories, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes and related balance sheet accounts, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets and derivatives. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Neogen to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Management attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing customers’ credit histories before extending credit and by monitoring credit exposure on a regular basis. Collateral or other security is generally not required for accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for customer accounts that reduces receivables to amounts that are expected to be collected. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets. Once a receivable balance has been determined to be uncollectible, generally after all collection efforts have been exhausted, that amount is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. No customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at February 29, 2024 or May 31, 2023, respectively.

Inventory

The reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory is reviewed at least quarterly based on an analysis of the inventory, considering the current condition of the asset as well as other known facts and future plans. The reserve required to record inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value is adjusted as conditions change. Product obsolescence may be caused by shelf-life expiration, discontinuance of a product line, replacement products in the marketplace or other competitive situations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of tangible net assets of acquired businesses after amounts are allocated to other identifiable intangible assets. The Company's business is organized into two operating segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. Under the goodwill guidance, management determined that each of its segments represents a reporting unit. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, licenses, trade names, covenants not-to-compete and patents. Customer relationship intangibles are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis, reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed, while all other amortizable intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. Intangibles are amortized over 2 to 25 years.

Management reviews the carrying amounts of goodwill annually at the reporting unit level, or when indications of impairment exist, to determine if goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. During management's annual test or when there are indicators of impairment, if the carrying amount is deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to EBITDA multiples of peer companies, goodwill is reduced to the estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment when indications of impairment exist. If the carrying amounts of these assets are deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis, such assets are reduced to their estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used, including definite-lived intangible assets, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in business conditions warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, fair value is determined using discounted cash flows and, if lower than the carrying value, impairment is recognized through a charge to operations.

Business Combinations

We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. This method requires, among other things, that results of operations of acquired companies are included in Neogen’s results of operations beginning on the respective acquisition dates and that assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. As part of our acquisition accounting, the Company will recognize intangible assets. Management determines the fair value of the intangible assets by applying certain valuation methodologies, including the multi-period excess earnings method, which involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate and customer attrition rate. Valuation specialists are often used to develop and evaluate the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method, our discount rates, our attrition rate and our fair value estimates using our cash flow projections.

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 12 months from the acquisition date. Legal costs, due diligence costs, business valuation costs and all other business acquisition costs are expensed when incurred.

Our estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time. If we made different estimates or judgments, it could result in material differences in the fair values of the net assets acquired.

Equity Compensation Plans

Share options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and shares of stock awarded to employees under certain stock purchase plans are recognized as compensation expense based on their fair value at grant date. The fair market value of options granted under the Company stock option plans was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for inputs such as interest rates, expected dividends, an estimate of award forfeitures, volatility measures and specific employee exercise behavior patterns based on statistical data. Some of the inputs used are not market-observable and are estimated or derived from available data. Use of different estimates would produce different option values, which in turn would result in higher or lower compensation expense recognized. For RSUs, we use the intrinsic value method to value the units.

To value equity awards, several recognized valuation models exist; none of these models can be singled out as being the best or most correct. The model applied by us can accommodate most of the specific features included in the options granted, which is the reason for its use. If different models were used, the option values could differ despite using the same inputs. Accordingly, using different assumptions coupled with using a different valuation model could have a significant impact on the fair value of employee stock options. Fair value could be either higher or lower than the number provided by the model applied and the inputs used. Further information on our equity compensation plans, including inputs used to determine the fair value of options, is disclosed in Note 7, "Equity Compensation Plans."

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for tax credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

2. CASH AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand accounts, savings deposits, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses related to these balances and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $161,437 and $163,240 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The carrying value of these assets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments and is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Marketable Securities

The Company has marketable securities held by banks or broker-dealers consisting of commercial paper and corporate bonds rated at least A-1/P-1 (short-term) and A/A2 (long-term) with original maturities between 91 days and two years. These securities are classified as available for sale. Changes in fair value are monitored and recorded on a monthly basis and are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. In the event of a downgrade in credit quality subsequent to purchase, the marketable securities investment is evaluated to determine the appropriate action to take to minimize the overall risk to our marketable securities portfolio. If fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, then the Company evaluates whether the decline is the result of a credit loss, in which case an impairment is recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Where there is an intention or a requirement to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security, the entire impairment is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the security. The primary objective of management’s short-term investment activity is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding current operations, capital expenditures and business acquisitions. Short-term investments are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. These securities are recorded at fair value based on recent trades or pricing models and therefore meet the Level 2 criteria. Interest income on these investments is recorded within other (expense) income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Marketable Securities as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are listed below by classification and remaining maturities.

	Maturity	February 29, 2024		May 31, 2023

	$	182,390		$	133,812

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company derives revenue from two primary sources—product revenue and service revenue.

Product revenue consists of shipments of:

•Diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation;

•Consumable products marketed to veterinarians, retailers, livestock producers and animal health product distributors; and

•Rodent control products, disinfectants and insect control products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Revenues for our products are recognized and invoiced when the product is shipped to the customer.

Service revenue consists primarily of:

•Genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services; and

•Other commercial laboratory services.

Revenues for Neogen’s genomics and commercial laboratory services are recognized and invoiced when the applicable laboratory service is performed and the results are conveyed to the customer.

Payment terms for products and services are generally 30 to 60 days.

The Company has no contract assets. Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation(s) and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. These customer deposits are recorded within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded additions of $5,116 and $11,094 to deferred revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded additions of $4,601 and $9,272 to deferred revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recognized $4,308 and $10,224, respectively, of deferred revenue amounts into revenue. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recognized $2,918 and $7,967, respectively, of deferred revenue amounts into revenue. Changes in the balances relate primarily to sales of the Company's genomics services.

On September 1, 2022, Neogen closed on a Reverse Morris Trust transaction to combine with 3M Company's ("3M") Food Safety Division (“3M FSD”, “FSD”). Similar to Neogen, 3M’s former FSD sells diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. Revenues for these products are recognized and invoiced when the product is shipped to the customer. Subsequent to the 3M FSD transaction, many of these products were manufactured,

13

invoiced, and distributed by 3M on behalf of Neogen under a number of transition service contracts. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company completed its exit of distribution-related service contracts. As a result, all product shipments and invoicing to customers is now done directly by Neogen.

The following table presents disaggregated revenue by major product and service categories during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023:

	Three Months Ended February 29/28,				Nine Months Ended February 29/28,

5. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net (loss) income per share was computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The calculation of net (loss) income per share follows:

	Three Months Ended February 29/28,					Nine Months Ended February 29/28,
	2024			2023		2024			2023
Numerator for basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:
Net (loss) income attributable to Neogen	$	(2,022	)	$	8,190	$	(4,006	)	$	(28,442	)
Denominator for basic net (loss) income per share:
Weighted average shares		216,597,777			216,217,702		216,438,643			179,666,118
Effect of dilutive stock options and RSUs		—			181,301		—			—
Denominator for diluted net (loss) income per share		216,597,777			216,399,003		216,438,643			179,666,118
Net (loss) income per share:
Basic	$	(0.01	)	$	0.04	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.16	)
Diluted	$	(0.01	)	$	0.04	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.16	)

Due to the net loss reported for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 and the nine months ended February 28, 2023, the dilutive stock options and RSUs were anti-dilutive.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

We have two reportable segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. The Food Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. The Animal Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of products dedicated to animal safety, including a complete line of consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors. This segment also provides genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services. Additionally, the Animal Safety segment produces and markets rodent control products, disinfectants and insect control products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Many of our international operations originally focused on the Company’s food safety products, and each of these units reports through the Food Safety segment. In recent years, these operations have expanded to offer our complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Animal Safety segment, such as cleaners, disinfectants, rodent control products, insect control products, veterinary instruments and genomics services. These additional products and services are managed and directed by existing Food Safety management and are reported through the Food Safety segment.

Neogen’s operation in Australia originally focused on providing genomics services and sales of animal safety products and reports through the Animal Safety segment. With the acquisition of Cell BioSciences in February 2020, this operation expanded to offer our complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Food Safety segment. These additional products are managed and directed by existing management at Neogen Australasia and report through the Animal Safety segment. While Neogen was operating under a distribution services agreement with 3M, all sales of FSD products were reported through the Food Safety segment. Since the review of FSD sales occurs on a global scale, sales of these products occurring in Australia and New Zealand will continue to report through the Food Safety segment, despite now occurring at Neogen Australasia.

The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, "Description of Business and Basis of Presentation."

7. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company’s long-term incentive plans allow for the grant of various types of share-based awards to key directors, officers and employees of the Company. Incentive and non-qualified options to purchase shares of common stock have been granted under the terms of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan and previously under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. These options are granted at an exercise price of the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. Outstanding options vest ratably over three-year and five-year periods, and the contractual terms are generally five, seven or ten years. The company grants restricted stock units (RSUs) under the terms of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Outstanding RSUs vest ratably over three-year and five-year periods. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant.

During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded $3,679 and $9,829, respectively, of expense related to its share-based awards in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated income statement. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded $2,812 and $7,311, respectively, of expense related to its share-based awards.

The Company offers eligible employees the option to purchase common stock at a 5% discount to the lower of the market value of the stock at the beginning or end of each participation period under the terms of the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The discount is recorded in general and administrative expense. Total individual purchases in any year are limited to 10% of compensation.

8. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the results of operations for business acquisitions since the respective dates of purchase. All are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill recognized in the acquisitions discussed below relates primarily to enhancing the Company’s strategic platform for the expansion of available product offerings.

Fiscal 2023

Thai-Neo Biotech Co., Ltd. Acquisition

On July 1, 2022, Neogen acquired all of the stock of Thai-Neo Biotech Co., Ltd., a long-standing distributor of Neogen’s food safety products to Thailand and Southeast Asia. Consideration for the purchase was $1,581 in net cash, with $1,310 paid at closing, $37 paid in November 2022 as a working capital adjustment and $234 paid in October 2023. The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets and liabilities determined using the income approach, included accounts receivable of $177, inventory of $232, prepaids of $3, net property, plant and equipment of $16, other non-current assets of $6, accounts payable of $98, other payables of $6, non-current tax liabilities of $124, intangible assets of $620 (with an estimated life of 10 years) and the remainder to goodwill (non-deductible for tax purposes). The business continues to operate in Bangkok, Thailand, reporting within the Food Safety segment.

Corvium Acquisition

On February 10, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets as part of an asset purchase agreement with Corvium, Inc., a partner and supplier within the Company's software analytics platform. This acquisition, which primarily includes the software technology, advances the Company's food safety data analytics strategy. The purchase price consideration was $24,067, which included $9,004 held in escrow. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, $8,000 of the escrow balance was released to Corvium, Inc. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the remaining escrow balance was released to Corvium, Inc. This transaction is a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method.

There also is the potential for performance milestone payments of up to $8,500 based on successful implementation of the software service at customer sites and sale of licenses. As a result, the Company has recorded contingent liabilities of $930 as part of the opening balance sheet within other non-current liabilities, as shown below.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an increase to intangible assets of $100, based on finalization of a third-party advisor's valuation work and fair value estimates. Goodwill, which is fully deductible for tax purposes, includes value associated with profits earned from data management solutions that can be offered to existing customers and the expertise and reputation of the assembled workforce. These values are Level 3 fair value measurements.

The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which was determined using the income approach, is summarized in the following table:

Prepaids and other current assets	$	66
Property, plant and equipment		13
Intangible assets		10,280
Deferred revenue		(1,827	)
Adjustment of annual license prepaid		(419	)
Other non-current liabilities		(930	)
Total identifiable assets and liabilities acquired		7,183
Goodwill		16,884
Total purchase consideration	$	24,067

For each completed acquisition listed above, the revenues and net income were not considered material and were therefore not disclosed.

3M Food Safety Transaction

On September 1, 2022, Neogen, 3M, and Neogen Food Safety Corporation (“Neogen Food Safety Corporation”), formerly named Garden SpinCo, a subsidiary created to carve out 3M’s FSD, closed on a transaction combining 3M’s FSD with Neogen in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction and Neogen Food Safety Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Neogen (“FSD transaction”). Immediately following the FSD transaction, pre-merger Neogen Food Safety Corporation stockholders owned, in the aggregate, approximately 50.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Neogen common stock and pre-merger Neogen shareholders owned, in the aggregate, approximately 49.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Neogen common stock. This transaction is a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method.

The purchase price consideration for the 3M FSD was $3.2 billion, net of customary purchase price adjustments and transaction costs, which consisted of 108,269,946 shares of Neogen common stock issued on closing with a fair value of $2.2 billion and non-cash consideration of $1 billion, funded by the additional financing obtained by Garden SpinCo and assumed by the Company as part of the transaction. See Note 10, "Debt" for further detail on the debt incurred.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded adjustments to goodwill and intangible assets, based on third-party advisor's valuation work and fair value estimates, resulting in an increase to goodwill and a decrease to the intangible assets balance. The company also recorded adjustments to deferred tax liabilities, which increased the balance, based on finalization of entity income tax provisions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of $1.97 billion was recorded as goodwill, of which $1.92 billion is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes value associated with profits earned from market and expansion capabilities, expected synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities, the expertise and reputation of the assembled workforce and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. These values are Level 3 fair value measurements.

The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which was determined using the income approach, is summarized in the following table:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	319

The Company had a financing agreement with a bank providing for a $15,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, which originally expired on November 30, 2023, but was replaced by the five-year senior secured revolving facility as part of the Credit Facilities described below. There were no advances against the line of credit in fiscal 2023 before it was extinguished. Interest on any borrowings under that agreement was at LIBOR plus 100 basis points. Financial covenants included maintaining specified levels of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, each of which the Company was in compliance with during the period the line of credit was available.

Credit Facilities

In June 2022, Neogen Food Safety Corporation entered into a credit agreement consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan facility (“term loan facility”) in the amount of $650,000 and a five-year senior secured revolving facility (“revolving facility”) in the amount of $150,000 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) to fund the 3M Food Safety transaction. The term loan facility was drawn on August 31, 2022, to fund the closing of the 3M Food Safety transaction on September 1, 2022 while the revolving facility remained undrawn and continues to be undrawn as of February 29, 2024.

The Credit Facilities bear interest based on the term SOFR plus an applicable margin between a range of 150 to 225 basis points determined for each interest period and paid monthly. During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, the interest rates ranged from 7.42% to 7.68% per annum. The term loan facility matures on June 30, 2027 and the revolving facility matures at the earlier of June 30, 2027 and the termination of the revolving commitments. In November 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, whereby interest on $250,000 of the total $550,000 principal balance is paid at a fixed rate. See Note 13, "Derivatives" for further detail on the swap agreement.

The term loan facility contains an optional prepayment feature at the discretion of the Company. The Company determined that the prepayment feature did not meet the definition of an embedded derivative and does not require bifurcation from the host liability and, accordingly, has accounted for the entire instrument at amortized cost. In accordance with the prepayment feature, the Company paid $100,000 of the term loan facility’s principal in fiscal year 2023.

21

The Company can draw any amount under the revolving facility up to the $150,000 limit, with the amount to be repaid on the termination date of the revolving commitments. Debt issuance costs of $2,361 were incurred related to the revolving facility. These costs are being amortized as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the contractual life of the revolving facility using the straight-line method. Amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs for the revolving facility was $122 and $366, respectively, during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. Amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs for the revolving facility was $122 and $244, respectively, for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023. As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 the Company had $1,629 and $1,995, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

The Company must pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.20% and 0.35% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, paid quarterly. As of February 29, 2024, the commitment fee was 0.35%, with $122 and $366, respectively, recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, $133 and $356, respectively, relating to the commitment fee was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

There was no accrued interest payable on the term loan as of February 29, 2024. The Company incurred $10,232 in total debt issuance costs on the term loan which is recorded as an offset to the term loan facility and amortized over the contractual life of the loan to interest expense using the straight-line method. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $529 and $1,588 and interest expense of $10,497 and $31,365 (excluding swap credit of $778 and $2,230) for the term loan was included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $529 and $1,058 and interest expense of $9,056 and $17,383 (excluding swap credit of $136) was included in the consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, the Company had $7,056 and $8,644, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Financial covenants include maintaining specified levels of funded debt to EBITDA, and debt service coverage. As of February 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

Senior Notes

In July 2022, Neogen Food Safety Corporation closed on an offering of $350,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due in 2030 (the “Notes”) in a private placement at par. The Notes were initially issued by Neogen Food Safety Corporation to 3M and were transferred and delivered by 3M to the selling securityholder in the offering, in satisfaction of certain of 3M’s existing debt. Upon closing of the 3M Food Safety transaction on September 1, 2022, the Notes became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company determined that the redemption features of the Notes did not meet the definition of a derivative and thus does not require bifurcation from the host liability and accordingly has accounted for the entire instrument at amortized cost.

Total accrued interest on the Notes was $3,438 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 based on the stated interest rate of 8.625% and included in current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred total debt issuance costs of $6,683, which are recorded as an offset to the Notes and amortized over the contractual life of the Notes to interest expense using the straight-line method. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded $7,756 and $23,267 of interest expense for the Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of which $209 and $627 related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded $7,756 and $19,089 of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, of which $209 and $557 related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 the Company had $5,291 and $5,917, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

22

Finance Lease

The finance lease is a building lease that is classified within property and equipment and the current portion of debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 29, 2024. The Company intends to elect the purchase option within the lease agreement prior to the end of the lease term.

Maturity of Term Loan and Senior Notes

There are no required principal payments through fiscal year 2026, due to $100,000 in prepayments made in fiscal 2023.

11. INCOME TAXES

The estimated annual effective tax rate ("EAETR") is derived from full-year pre-tax book earnings, statutory tax rates, and permanent differences between book and tax accounting across jurisdictions. For interim financial reporting, except in specified cases, the quarterly income tax provision aligns with the EAETR, updated each quarter based on revised full-year pre-tax book earnings. When projected full-year pre-tax book earnings are at or near breakeven, the EAETR may distort the interim income tax provision due to significant permanent differences. In such cases, the interim income tax provision is based on the year-to-date effective tax rate, adjusting for permanent differences proportionally.

In the three and nine months ending February 29, 2024, income taxes were calculated based on the year-to-date effective tax rate. In the three and nine months ending February 28, 2023, income taxes were calculated based on the EAETR.

Income tax benefit was $3,800 and $3,900 during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. Income tax benefit was $10,450 and $1,250 during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023. The net tax benefit for all comparison periods is primarily related to pre-tax losses due to amortization expense and interest expense from the 3M FSD transaction.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are $1,949 and $1,087, respectively. Increases in unrecognized tax benefits are primarily associated with the acquired 3M FSD, including positions for transfer pricing and research and development credits.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in environmental remediation and monitoring activities at its Randolph, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and accrues for related costs when such costs are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company currently utilizes a pump and treat remediation strategy, which includes semi-annual monitoring and reporting, consulting, and maintenance of monitoring wells. These annual remediation costs are expensed and have ranged from $38 to $131 per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated remaining liability for these costs is $916 as of both February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years. In fiscal 2019, the Company performed an updated Corrective Measures Study on the site, per a request from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and is currently in discussion with the WDNR regarding potential alternative remediation strategies going forward. The Company believes that the current pump and treat strategy is appropriate for the site. However, the Company has undertaken a pilot study in which chemical reagents were injected into the ground in an attempt to reduce on-site contamination. At this time, the outcome of the pilot study is unknown, but a change in the current remediation strategy, depending on the alternative selected, could result in an increase in future costs and ultimately, an increase in the currently recorded liability, with an offsetting charge to operations in the period recorded. The Company has recorded $100 as a current liability as of February 29, 2024, and the remaining $816 is recorded in other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company received $1,265 of business interruption insurance proceeds relating to fire damage that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 at one of our Animal Safety lab facilities. The proceeds were recorded within Cost of Revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

23

The Company is subject to certain legal and other proceedings in the normal course of business that, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect on its future results of operations or financial position.

13. DERIVATIVES

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We forecast our net exposure in various receivables and payables to fluctuations in the value of various currencies, and have entered into a number of foreign currency forward contracts each month to mitigate that exposure. These contracts are recorded net at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses from these contracts are recognized in other income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional amount of forward contracts in place was $65,088 and $15,500 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to January 2024.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

In November 2022, we entered into a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap agreement with an initial $250,000 notional value, which is designated as a cash flow hedge. This agreement fixed a portion of the variable interest due on our term loan facility, with an effective date of December 2, 2022 and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. Under the terms of the agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 4.215%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 150 to 225 basis points and receive a variable rate of interest based on term SOFR from the counterparty, which is reset according to the duration of the SOFR term. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 was a net asset (liability) of $928 and ($2,683), respectively. The Company expects to reclassify a $2,091 gain of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the next 12 months.

We record the fair value of our interest rate swaps on a recurring basis using Level 2 observable market inputs for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains both historical financial information and forward-looking statements. Neogen does not provide forecasts of future financial performance. While management is optimistic about the Company’s long-term prospects, historical financial information may not be indicative of future financial results.

Safe Harbor and Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are made throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements relating to management’s expectations regarding new product introductions; the adequacy of our sources for certain components, raw materials and finished products; and our ability to utilize certain inventory. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are intended to provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events; are based on current estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions; and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual events or results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors, including circumstances beyond our control at our transition manufacturing partner, competition, recruitment, retention, dependence on key employees, impact of weather on agriculture and food production, global business disruption caused by the Russia invasion in Ukraine and related sanctions and the conflict between Israel and Hamas, identification and integration of acquisitions, research and development risks, intellectual property protection, government regulation and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s reports on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could cause Neogen Corporation’s results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including those detailed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

In addition, any forward-looking statements represent management’s views only as of the day this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. While management may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its views change.

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In prior years, production was negatively impacted by broad supply chain challenges, labor market disruptions and other related impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, input cost inflation, including increases in certain raw materials, negatively impacted operating results. In fiscal 2023, these negative impacts steadily improved throughout the fiscal year. In fiscal 2024, despite a slowing of inflation rates, there remains economic headwinds of softening consumer demand and higher interest rates, coupled with ongoing geopolitical tension in certain regions.

Interest rates have risen sharply, particularly in fiscal 2023, as a way to combat inflation. This, subsequently, increased our borrowing costs and raised the overall cost of capital. While the frequent increases have largely subsided, the overall rate is significantly higher than in recent years, which increases interest expense on the unhedged portion of our Term Loan. In response to the historically high inflationary environment, we have taken pricing actions to mitigate the impacts on the business. We anticipate that the impact of inflation will continue to affect us for the remainder of fiscal year 2024, although at a continually decreasing rate compared to the prior two fiscal years. Beginning in the second quarter of the fiscal year, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning system and began the exit of our transition distribution agreements, which led to certain shipment delays and an elevated backlog of open orders, specifically in the Food Safety segment. Through our continued integration process, we expect our order fulfillment rates to improve to meet the needs of our customers in this improving end-market environment.

26

Although we have no operations in or direct exposure to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, we have experienced intermittent shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy and raw materials due, in part, to the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, which began in February 2022, on the global economy. Our European operations and customer base have been negatively impacted by the conflict. Similarly, the military conflict between Israel and Hamas has increased overall geopolitical tensions. As the respective conflicts continue or worsen, they may further impact our business, financial condition or results of operations throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2024.

We continue to evaluate the nature and extent to which these issues impact our business, including consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. We expect these issues to continue to impact us for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 and into fiscal year 2025.

Service Revenue

Service revenue, which includes genomics testing and other laboratory services, was $26.6 million and $77.0 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. Service revenue was $27.6 million and $79.8 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023. The decrease in the third quarter was primarily driven by customer attrition in the poultry market, partially offset by strength in genomics testing in the U.K. and China, and new business gained with our Neogen Analytics software as a service.

27

International Revenue

International sales were $104.6 million and $338.6 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, compared to $108.3 million and $275.7 million during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023. The increase during the nine months ended February 29, 2024 was primarily due to $63.8 million in international sales related to the 3M FSD transaction during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in sales in the third quarter as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower sales of food safety products in Asia and Latin America due largely to product availability challenges.

Food Safety

Natural Toxins & Allergens – Revenues in this category increased 3% during the three months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding currency impact and sales of drug residue test kits that were largely discontinued in fiscal 2023, core revenue in this category increased 5% primarily driven by sales of tree nut allergen test kits, as prior quarter domestic backlog was fulfilled, partially offset by lower natural toxin volumes due to shipping constraints. During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, revenues in this category

28

increased 3% compared to the same period in the prior year. On a core growth basis, revenues increased 2% in the year-to-date period.

Bacterial & General Sanitation – Revenues in this category increased 2% and 41% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. On a core growth basis, revenues increased 3% and 5%, during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively. The increase during both periods was driven primarily by strength in our general sanitation product lines and strong placements of Soleris® microbiological diagnostic equipment.

Indicator Testing, Culture Media & Other – Revenues in this category increased 4% and 38% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Core growth was 7% during the quarter and 2% during the year-to-date period. The increase in the third quarter was due to higher volumes of indicators, partially offset by lower sales of culture media due to a large non-recurring sale of custom product in the prior year. For the nine months, higher volumes of indicators were partially offset by the non-recurring culture media sale and a first-quarter decline in sales of Megazyme food quality and nutritional analysis products, due to distributor ordering patterns.

Rodent Control, Insect Control & Disinfectants – Revenues in this category increased 6% and 9% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the quarter, core growth was 2%, driven by a large tender sale of insect control products in Brazil, as well as higher cleaner and disinfectant sales in China. On a year-to-date basis, core revenue increased 4%, driven primarily by insect control product sales in Brazil and strong cleaner and disinfectant sales in Europe in the first half of the fiscal year.

Genomics Services – Revenues of genomics services sold through our international Food Safety operations increased 17% and 11% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Core growth in this category was 17% in the third quarter, driven by increased sales in Europe and new business in China. On a year-to-date basis, core growth was 9% for the same reasons.

Animal Safety

Life Sciences – Revenues in this category decreased 5% and increased 6% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year; core revenue was the same for both periods. During the quarter, lower sample volumes from forensic customers contributed to the decrease, while, for the year-to-date period, the increase was primarily driven by increased demand for substrates from manufacturers of diagnostic tests.

Veterinary Instruments & Disposables – Revenues in this category increased 17% and 3% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the same periods in the prior year; core revenue increases were the same for both periods. The increase in the third quarter was driven by higher sales of detectable needles and syringes to our large veterinary distributors. For the year-to-date period, third quarter revenue increases were partially offset by inventory de-stocking with the same distributors in the first and second quarters.

Animal Care & Other – Revenues of these products increased 15% and decreased 9% the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Core growth in this category, which excludes currency impact and the discontinued Thyrokare product line, increased 17% and decreased 7% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively. The increase within the quarter was primarily driven by relief of vitamin injectable backorders as well as distributor sales recovery. The decrease during the year-to-date period was driven by lower sales of small animal supplements and wound care products caused primarily by distributor ordering patterns.

29

Rodent Control, Insect Control & Disinfectants – Revenues increased 14% and 4% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year; core revenue increases were the same for both periods. The revenue increase for the quarter was driven by success of marketing programs within insect control products and higher sales of domestic cleaners and disinfectants to combat avian influenza.

Genomics Services – Revenues in this category decreased 11% and 10% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Core growth declined 10% during the quarter and 9% for the year-to-date. Core revenue in both periods was negatively impacted by customer attrition associated with a strategic shift in the business to focus primarily on large production animals.

Gross Profit

Gross margin was 51.1% and 51.0% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to 49.5% and 48.7% during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to increased sales of higher-margin products in our Food Safety segment. The increase in the year-to-date period was primarily due to incremental revenues from the FSD transaction, which generated gross margin higher than the legacy company average gross margin. Within each reporting segment, increased raw material costs continue to pressure gross margins in certain product lines. However, while inflation continues to impact the business, the rate of raw material price and freight costs changes have significantly declined throughout both the current and prior year comparative periods. Finally, pricing actions taken during these periods also mitigated the impact of cost increases.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $104.9 million and $304.8 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to $92.3 million and $268.7 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 was primarily the result of costs added to accommodate the increased size and complexity of the Company following the FSD transaction, which were not in the prior year comparable period.

Sales and marketing expenses were $47.9 million and $138.5 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to $38.6 million and $98.3 million during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by incremental costs resulting from the FSD transaction, including compensation and related expenses for the acquired sales and marketing teams and higher costs related to inefficiencies as we took over distribution from 3M.

General and administrative expenses were $52.1 million and $148.9 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to $46.4 million and $151.4 million during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. Increases during the three months ended February 29, 2024 were primarily the result of additional personnel hired to accommodate the increased size and complexity of the organization, compensation increases, the issuance of share-based compensation grants, software license fees and other information technology infrastructure investments. The year-to-date decline was primarily the result of lower transaction fees and integration expenses compared to the prior year comparable period. These decreases were partially offset by the additional costs previously identified.

Research and development expense was $4.9 million and $17.3 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to $7.3 million and $19.0 million in the same periods of the prior year. The decrease during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 is primarily the result of lower contracted services and employee costs, as we continue to integrate the FSD business and realize synergies in certain areas.

Operating Income

Operating income was $12.0 million and $45.6 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 respectively, compared to an operating income of $15.7 million and $14.1 million during the three and nine months

30

ended February 28, 2023, respectively. Decreases in operating income during the three months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter reflect increased operating expenses to accommodate the increased size and complexity of the Company. Operating income increased during the nine months ended February 29, 2024 compared to the prior year primarily due to incremental revenues and higher gross profits from the FSD transaction. The prior year also included transaction and integration costs of $55.8 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2023 compared to $12.1 million during the nine months ended February 29, 2024.

Other (Expense)/Income

Total Other Expense	$	(17,845	)	$	(17,944	)	$	(53,529	)	$	(43,782	)

Interest expense recorded during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 was the result of debt incurred to fund the 3M transaction. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company had no debt outstanding. Interest income relates to earnings on our marketable securities and money market account portfolio. Higher balances in money market portfolios with higher yields drove the increase in interest income for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. Other (expense) income resulting from foreign currency transactions was the result of changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in countries in which we operate.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax benefit was $3.8 million and $3.9 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to $10.5 million and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. The net tax benefit for all comparison periods is primarily related to pre-tax losses due to amortization expense and interest expense from the FSD transaction.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Increases in unrecognized tax benefits are primarily associated with the FSD transaction, including positions for transfer pricing and research and development credits.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss was $2.0 million and $4.0 million during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to net income of $8.2 million and net loss of $28.4 million during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. The net loss during the three months ended February 29, 2024 compared to net income during the three months ended February 28, 2023 reflects additional expenses to accommodate the integration of the FSD business. The decrease in net loss during the nine months ended February 29, 2024 was primarily the result of higher transaction fees and integration costs in the prior year, which were $55.8 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report includes certain financial information for the Company that differs from what is reported in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of core revenue growth, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share. These non-GAAP financial measures are included in this report because management believes that they provide investors with additional useful information to measure the performance of the Company, and because these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as common performance measures to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in industries the Company operates in.

Core revenue growth

We define core revenue growth as net sales for the period excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation rates, the first-year impacts of acquisitions and divestitures, where applicable, and net sales from discontinued product lines. We present core revenue growth because it allows for a meaningful comparison of results across periods without the volatility caused by foreign currency gains or losses, or the incomparability that would be caused by the impact of an acquisition or divestiture.

EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA as a performance measure because it may allow for a comparison of results across periods and results across companies in the industries in which Neogen operates on a consistent basis, by removing the effects on operating performance of (a) capital structure (such as the varying levels of interest expense and interest income), (b) asset base and capital investment cycle (such as depreciation and amortization) and (c) items largely outside the control of management (such as income taxes). EBITDA also forms the basis for the measurement of Adjusted EBITDA (discussed below).

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for share-based compensation and certain transaction fees and expenses. We present Adjusted EBITDA because it provides an understanding of underlying business performance by excluding the following:

•Share-based compensation. We believe it is useful to exclude share-based compensation to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison with the results of peer companies.

•FX translation (gain)/loss on loan revaluation and other revaluation. We exclude the revaluation impacts of foreign currency fluctuations on our intercompany loan balances that we initiated in conjunction with the FSD transaction and other non-hedged foreign currency fluctuations resulting from 3M agreements.

•Certain transaction fees and integration costs. We exclude fees and expenses related to certain transactions because they are outside of Neogen’s underlying core performance. These fees and expenses include deal related professional and legal fees and costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses.

•Other one-time adjustments. We exclude one-time adjustments recorded within operating income to better understand the long-term performance of our core business.

32

Adjusted EBITDA margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin as a performance measure to analyze the level of Adjusted EBITDA generated from total revenue.

Adjusted Net Income

We define Adjusted Net Income as Net Income, adjusted for share-based compensation, FX translation gain/(loss) on loan revaluation, certain transaction fees and expenses, and other one-time adjustments, all of which are tax effected.

Adjusted Earnings per Share

We define Adjusted Earnings per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted average shares outstanding.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for informational purposes only. Core Revenue Growth, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss), operating income, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance. This information does not purport to represent the results Neogen would have achieved had any of the transactions for which an adjustment is made occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or as of the dates indicated. This information is inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. It may not give an accurate or complete picture of Neogen’s financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented and should not be relied upon when making an investment decision.

The use of the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies or persons due to potential differences in the method of calculation.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. For example, for EBITDA-based metrics:

•they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Neogen’s working capital needs;

•they do not reflect Neogen’s tax expense or the cash requirements to pay taxes;

•they do not reflect the historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•they do not reflect any cash requirements for future replacements of assets that are being depreciated and amortized; and

•they may be calculated differently from other companies in Neogen’s industries limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

A reader should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on the financial statements of Neogen and using these non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement to evaluate Neogen’s performance.

For each of these non-GAAP financial measures below, we are providing a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP measure and the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(3)Non-capitalizable expenses related to ERP implementation.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.5 million during the three months ended February 29, 2024 and increased $17.9 million during the nine months ended February 29, 2024. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, adjusted EBITDA was 23.0% and 23.3% during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively, compared to 23.5% and 24.5% during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. The lower Adjusted EBITDA margin was driven primarily by higher operating expenses compared to the prior-year periods, reflecting additions to accommodate the integration of the 3M FSD.

(4)Income tax benefit associated with non-deductible transaction costs that were recognized as expense in prior periods.

(5)Tax effect of adjustments is calculated using projected effective tax rates for each applicable item.

Adjusted Net Income decreased $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. The decreases are driven primarily by higher depreciation expense, partially offset by increases in Adjusted EBITDA.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The overall cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position of Neogen was $168.4 million as of February 29, 2024, compared to $245.6 million as of May 31, 2023. Cash from operating activities was $8.5 million during the nine months ended February 29, 2024 compared to cash for operating activities of $49.9 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2023. The net inflow during the nine months ended February 29, 2024 was primarily the result of fewer transaction fees and lower net loss. Cash for investing activities was $11.8 million during the nine months ended February 29, 2024, which was primarily the result of purchases of property and equipment of $87.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $75.3 million. Cash from investing activities was $194.2 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2023. Cash from financing activities was $2.0 million during the nine months ended February 29, 2024 compared to cash for financing activities of $118.3 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2023.

Net accounts receivable balances were $173.6 million as of February 29, 2024 compared to $153.3 million as of May 31, 2023. Days' sales outstanding, a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables, was 65 days as of February 29, 2024, compared to 57 days as of May 31, 2023 and 62 days as of February 28, 2023.

As part of transition services agreements between the Company and 3M, related to the merger of the Food Safety business, 3M invoiced our customers for products that 3M manufactured and shipped on our behalf through

35

December 2023. We have completed the exit of distribution and back office-related service contracts and currently only have a contract manufacturing agreement in place with 3M for certain products. As of February 29, 2024, there were $5.5 million in customer receivables billed by 3M on our behalf, compared to $57.3 million as of May 31, 2023.

Net inventory was $182.4 million as of February 29, 2024, an increase of $48.6 million, compared to a May 31, 2023 balance of $133.8 million. The higher inventory levels are primarily the result of the Company now stocking FSD products manufactured by 3M.

We expect to spend approximately $130 million in capital expenditures in fiscal year 2024; $100 million of the total is related to our new building, systems implementation and related FSD integration projects.

Debt and Liquidity

On September 1, 2022, Neogen, 3M, and Neogen Food Safety Corporation, a subsidiary of 3M created to carve out 3M’s Food Safety business, closed on the FSD transaction that previously was announced in December 2021, combining 3M’s Food Safety business with Neogen in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction.

In June 2022, Neogen Food Safety Corporation entered into a credit agreement consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan facility in the amount of $650 million and a five-year senior secured revolving facility in the amount of $150 million (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”), which became available in connection with the merger and related transactions. The loan facility was funded to Neogen Food Safety Corporation on August 31, 2022, and upon the effectiveness of the merger on September 1, 2022, became Neogen’s obligation through a non-cash transaction. Financial covenants include maintaining specified levels of funded debt to EBITDA and debt service coverage. The Credit Facilities, together with the Notes described below, represent the financing incurred in connection with the merger of the 3M FSD with Neogen. In accordance with the prepayment feature, the Company paid $100 million of the term loan facility’s principal in fiscal year 2023, in order to decrease the outstanding debt balance.

In July 2022, Neogen Food Safety Corporation closed on an offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) in a private placement at par. The Notes were initially issued by Neogen Food Safety Corporation to 3M and were transferred and delivered by 3M to the selling securityholder in the offering, in satisfaction of certain of 3M’s existing debt. Neogen Food Safety Corporation did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Notes by the selling securityholder. Prior to the distribution of the shares of Neogen Food Safety Corporation’s common stock to 3M stockholders, the Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by 3M. Upon consummation of such distribution, 3M was released from all obligations under its guarantee. Upon the effectiveness of the merger on September 1, 2022, the Notes became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Neogen and certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of Neogen through a non-cash transaction.

In addition to the 3M transaction described above, our future cash generation and borrowing capacity may not be sufficient to meet cash requirements to fund the operating business, repay debt obligations, construct new manufacturing facilities, commercialize products currently under development or execute our future plans to acquire additional businesses, technology and products that fit within our strategic plan. Accordingly, we may be required, or may choose, to issue additional equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of our future capital needs. However, we continuously monitor and forecast our liquidity situation in light of industry, customer and economic factors, and take the necessary actions to preserve our liquidity and evaluate other financial alternatives that may be available to us should the need arise. As a result, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and borrowing capacity will enable us to fund the operating business, repay debt obligations, construct new manufacturing facilities, commercialize products currently under development, and execute our strategic plans.

We are subject to certain legal and other proceedings in the normal course of business that have not had, and, in the opinion of management, are not expected to have, a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk exposure but no long-term fixed rate investments. Our primary interest rate risk is due to potential fluctuations of interest rates for our variable rate borrowings.

Foreign exchange risk exposure arises because we market and sell our products throughout the world. Revenues in certain foreign countries as well as certain expenses related to those revenues are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As such, our operating results are exposed to changes in exchange rates. When the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the dollar value of revenues denominated in foreign currencies increases. When the U.S. dollar strengthens, the opposite situation occurs. Additionally, previously invoiced amounts can be positively or negatively affected by changes in exchange rates in the course of collection. We use derivative financial instruments to help manage the economic impact of fluctuations in certain currency exchange rates. These contracts are adjusted to fair value through earnings.

Neogen has assets, liabilities and operations outside of the U.S. Our investments in foreign subsidiaries are considered long-term. As discussed in ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by currency fluctuations.

The following table sets forth the potential loss in future earnings or fair values, resulting from hypothetical changes in relevant market rates or prices:

Risk Category	Hypothetical Change	February 29, 2024		Impact
(in thousands)
Foreign Currency—Revenue	10% Decrease in exchange rates	$	10,459	Earnings
Foreign Currency—Hedges	10% Decrease in exchange rates		6,509	Fair Value
Interest Income	10% Decrease in interest rates		488	Earnings
Interest Expense	10% Increase in interest rates		2,305	Earnings

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 29, 2024 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“the Certifying Officers”). Based on the evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which we describe in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023, management identified the following material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended May 31, 2023: (1) information technology general controls ("ITGCs") in the areas of user access and change management over certain information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process and the manual business process controls dependent on the affected ITGCs, (2) ineffective period-end invoice accrual controls, and (3) ineffective operation of management review controls related to the accounting, valuation and purchase price allocation of the Company’s acquisitions and associated goodwill.

Ongoing Remediation Efforts to Address the Previously Identified Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of May 31, 2023. Management is in the process of enhancing, and will continue to enhance, the risk assessment process and design and implementation of internal controls over financial reporting. The remediation measures to correct the previously identified material weaknesses include enhancing the design and implementation of existing controls and creating new controls as needed to address identified risks and providing additional training to personnel including the appropriate level of documentation to be maintained to support internal controls over financial reporting.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to strengthen controls or to modify the remediation plan described above. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the controls we have designed or plan to design will remediate the control deficiency that has led to the material weaknesses that we have identified. The previously identified material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than with respect to the remediation efforts described above in connection with the previously identified material weaknesses, no changes in our control over financial reporting were identified as having occurred during the quarter ended February 29, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Neogen Corporation and subsidiaries ("Neogen," "we," "our" or the "Company") develop, manufacture and market a diverse line of products and services dedicated to food and animal safety. Our Food Safety segment consists primarily of diagnostic test kits and complementary products (e.g., culture media) sold to food producers and processors to detect dangerous and/or unintended substances in human food and animal feed, such as foodborne pathogens, spoilage organisms, natural toxins, food allergens, genetic modifications, ruminant by-products, meat speciation, drug residues, pesticide residues and general sanitation concerns. The majority of the test kits are disposable, single-use, immunoassay and DNA detection products that rely on proprietary antibodies and RNA and DNA testing methodologies to produce rapid and accurate test results. Our expanding line of food safety products also includes genomics-based diagnostic technology, and advanced software systems that help testers objectively analyze and store, as well as perform analysis on, their results from multiple locations over extended periods.

Neogen’s Animal Safety segment is engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of veterinary instruments, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, topicals, parasiticides, diagnostic products, rodent control products, cleaners, disinfectants, insect control products and genomics testing services for the worldwide animal safety market. The majority of these consumable products are marketed through veterinarians, retailers, livestock producers and animal health product distributors. Our line of drug detection products is sold worldwide for the detection of abused and therapeutic drugs in animals and animal products, and has expanded into the workplace and human forensic markets.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Neogen Corporation (“Neogen” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2024. For more complete financial information, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. We translate our non-U.S. operations’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Management has designated certain intercompany loans as long-term in nature and, therefore, the gains and losses on remeasurement of these loans are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income represents net (loss) income and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net (loss) income and recognized directly as a component of equity. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our marketable securities and derivative instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our revolving credit agreement, and long-term debt, approximate their fair value based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

Leases

We lease various manufacturing, laboratory, warehousing and distribution facilities, administrative and sales offices, equipment and vehicles under operating leases. We evaluate our contracts to determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as a finance or operating lease. Currently, many of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in other assets, other accruals and other non-current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in net property and equipment and current portion of finance lease on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs associated with operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. Costs associated with finance leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within depreciation and interest expense over the term of the lease. The right-of-use operating lease assets were $15,301 and $11,933 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The total current and non-current operating lease liabilities were $15,771 and $12,089 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The finance lease assets were $2,496 as of February 29, 2024. There were no finance leases recorded as of May 31, 2023. See Note 10, "Debt", for detail on the finance lease liabilities.

Derivatives

The Company operates on a global basis and is exposed to the risk that its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions and has also entered into interest rate swap contracts as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. On the date the derivative is established, the Company designates the derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge in accordance with its established policy. Each reporting period, derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The change in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and amounts are reclassified into earnings on the condensed consolidated statement of income when transactions are realized. Derivatives that are not determined to be effective hedges are adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, variable consideration related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, the market value of, and demand for, inventories, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes and related balance sheet accounts, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets and derivatives. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Neogen to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Management attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing customers’ credit histories before extending credit and by monitoring credit exposure on a regular basis. Collateral or other security is generally not required for accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for customer accounts that reduces receivables to amounts that are expected to be collected. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets. Once a receivable balance has been determined to be uncollectible, generally after all collection efforts have been exhausted, that amount is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. No customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at February 29, 2024 or May 31, 2023, respectively.

Inventory

The reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory is reviewed at least quarterly based on an analysis of the inventory, considering the current condition of the asset as well as other known facts and future plans. The reserve required to record inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value is adjusted as conditions change. Product obsolescence may be caused by shelf-life expiration, discontinuance of a product line, replacement products in the marketplace or other competitive situations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of tangible net assets of acquired businesses after amounts are allocated to other identifiable intangible assets. The Company's business is organized into two operating segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. Under the goodwill guidance, management determined that each of its segments represents a reporting unit. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, licenses, trade names, covenants not-to-compete and patents. Customer relationship intangibles are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis, reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed, while all other amortizable intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. Intangibles are amortized over 2 to 25 years.

Management reviews the carrying amounts of goodwill annually at the reporting unit level, or when indications of impairment exist, to determine if goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. During management's annual test or when there are indicators of impairment, if the carrying amount is deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to EBITDA multiples of peer companies, goodwill is reduced to the estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment when indications of impairment exist. If the carrying amounts of these assets are deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis, such assets are reduced to their estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used, including definite-lived intangible assets, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in business conditions warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, fair value is determined using discounted cash flows and, if lower than the carrying value, impairment is recognized through a charge to operations.

Business Combinations

We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. This method requires, among other things, that results of operations of acquired companies are included in Neogen’s results of operations beginning on the respective acquisition dates and that assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. As part of our acquisition accounting, the Company will recognize intangible assets. Management determines the fair value of the intangible assets by applying certain valuation methodologies, including the multi-period excess earnings method, which involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate and customer attrition rate. Valuation specialists are often used to develop and evaluate the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method, our discount rates, our attrition rate and our fair value estimates using our cash flow projections.

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 12 months from the acquisition date. Legal costs, due diligence costs, business valuation costs and all other business acquisition costs are expensed when incurred.

Our estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time. If we made different estimates or judgments, it could result in material differences in the fair values of the net assets acquired.

Equity Compensation Plans

Share options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and shares of stock awarded to employees under certain stock purchase plans are recognized as compensation expense based on their fair value at grant date. The fair market value of options granted under the Company stock option plans was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for inputs such as interest rates, expected dividends, an estimate of award forfeitures, volatility measures and specific employee exercise behavior patterns based on statistical data. Some of the inputs used are not market-observable and are estimated or derived from available data. Use of different estimates would produce different option values, which in turn would result in higher or lower compensation expense recognized. For RSUs, we use the intrinsic value method to value the units.

To value equity awards, several recognized valuation models exist; none of these models can be singled out as being the best or most correct. The model applied by us can accommodate most of the specific features included in the options granted, which is the reason for its use. If different models were used, the option values could differ despite using the same inputs. Accordingly, using different assumptions coupled with using a different valuation model could have a significant impact on the fair value of employee stock options. Fair value could be either higher or lower than the number provided by the model applied and the inputs used. Further information on our equity compensation plans, including inputs used to determine the fair value of options, is disclosed in Note 7, "Equity Compensation Plans."

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for tax credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Cash and Marketable Securities

2. CASH AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand accounts, savings deposits, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses related to these balances and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $161,437 and $163,240 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The carrying value of these assets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments and is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Marketable Securities

The Company has marketable securities held by banks or broker-dealers consisting of commercial paper and corporate bonds rated at least A-1/P-1 (short-term) and A/A2 (long-term) with original maturities between 91 days and two years. These securities are classified as available for sale. Changes in fair value are monitored and recorded on a monthly basis and are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income. In the event of a downgrade in credit quality subsequent to purchase, the marketable securities investment is evaluated to determine the appropriate action to take to minimize the overall risk to our marketable securities portfolio. If fair value is less than its amortized cost basis, then the Company evaluates whether the decline is the result of a credit loss, in which case an impairment is recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Where there is an intention or a requirement to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security, the entire impairment is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the security. The primary objective of management’s short-term investment activity is to preserve capital for the purpose of funding current operations, capital expenditures and business acquisitions. Short-term investments are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. These securities are recorded at fair value based on recent trades or pricing models and therefore meet the Level 2 criteria. Interest income on these investments is recorded within other (expense) income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Marketable Securities as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are listed below by classification and remaining maturities.

Revenue Recognition

9 Months Ended

Feb. 29, 2024

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company derives revenue from two primary sources—product revenue and service revenue.

Product revenue consists of shipments of:

•Diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation;

•Consumable products marketed to veterinarians, retailers, livestock producers and animal health product distributors; and

•Rodent control products, disinfectants and insect control products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Revenues for our products are recognized and invoiced when the product is shipped to the customer.

Service revenue consists primarily of:

•Genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services; and

•Other commercial laboratory services.

Revenues for Neogen’s genomics and commercial laboratory services are recognized and invoiced when the applicable laboratory service is performed and the results are conveyed to the customer.

Payment terms for products and services are generally 30 to 60 days.

The Company has no contract assets. Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation(s) and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized. These customer deposits are recorded within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded additions of $5,116 and $11,094 to deferred revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded additions of $4,601 and $9,272 to deferred revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recognized $4,308 and $10,224, respectively, of deferred revenue amounts into revenue. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recognized $2,918 and $7,967, respectively, of deferred revenue amounts into revenue. Changes in the balances relate primarily to sales of the Company's genomics services.

On September 1, 2022, Neogen closed on a Reverse Morris Trust transaction to combine with 3M Company's ("3M") Food Safety Division (“3M FSD”, “FSD”). Similar to Neogen, 3M’s former FSD sells diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. Revenues for these products are recognized and invoiced when the product is shipped to the customer. Subsequent to the 3M FSD transaction, many of these products were manufactured,

invoiced, and distributed by 3M on behalf of Neogen under a number of transition service contracts. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company completed its exit of distribution-related service contracts. As a result, all product shipments and invoicing to customers is now done directly by Neogen.

The following table presents disaggregated revenue by major product and service categories during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023:

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

5. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net (loss) income per share was computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The calculation of net (loss) income per share follows:

Segment Information and Geographic Data

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

We have two reportable segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. The Food Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of diagnostic test kits, culture media and related products used by food producers and processors to detect harmful natural toxins, foodborne bacteria, allergens and levels of general sanitation. The Animal Safety segment is primarily engaged in the development, production and marketing of products dedicated to animal safety, including a complete line of consumable products marketed to veterinarians and animal health product distributors. This segment also provides genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services. Additionally, the Animal Safety segment produces and markets rodent control products, disinfectants and insect control products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Many of our international operations originally focused on the Company’s food safety products, and each of these units reports through the Food Safety segment. In recent years, these operations have expanded to offer our complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Animal Safety segment, such as cleaners, disinfectants, rodent control products, insect control products, veterinary instruments and genomics services. These additional products and services are managed and directed by existing Food Safety management and are reported through the Food Safety segment.

Neogen’s operation in Australia originally focused on providing genomics services and sales of animal safety products and reports through the Animal Safety segment. With the acquisition of Cell BioSciences in February 2020, this operation expanded to offer our complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Food Safety segment. These additional products are managed and directed by existing management at Neogen Australasia and report through the Animal Safety segment. While Neogen was operating under a distribution services agreement with 3M, all sales of FSD products were reported through the Food Safety segment. Since the review of FSD sales occurs on a global scale, sales of these products occurring in Australia and New Zealand will continue to report through the Food Safety segment, despite now occurring at Neogen Australasia.

The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, "Description of Business and Basis of Presentation."

Equity Compensation Plans

7. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company’s long-term incentive plans allow for the grant of various types of share-based awards to key directors, officers and employees of the Company. Incentive and non-qualified options to purchase shares of common stock have been granted under the terms of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan and previously under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. These options are granted at an exercise price of the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. Outstanding options vest ratably over three-year and five-year periods, and the contractual terms are generally five, seven or ten years. The company grants restricted stock units (RSUs) under the terms of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Outstanding RSUs vest ratably over three-year and five-year periods. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant.

During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded $3,679 and $9,829, respectively, of expense related to its share-based awards in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated income statement. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded $2,812 and $7,311, respectively, of expense related to its share-based awards.

The Company offers eligible employees the option to purchase common stock at a 5% discount to the lower of the market value of the stock at the beginning or end of each participation period under the terms of the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The discount is recorded in general and administrative expense. Total individual purchases in any year are limited to 10% of compensation.

Business Combinations

8. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the results of operations for business acquisitions since the respective dates of purchase. All are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill recognized in the acquisitions discussed below relates primarily to enhancing the Company’s strategic platform for the expansion of available product offerings.

Fiscal 2023

Thai-Neo Biotech Co., Ltd. Acquisition

On July 1, 2022, Neogen acquired all of the stock of Thai-Neo Biotech Co., Ltd., a long-standing distributor of Neogen’s food safety products to Thailand and Southeast Asia. Consideration for the purchase was $1,581 in net cash, with $1,310 paid at closing, $37 paid in November 2022 as a working capital adjustment and $234 paid in October 2023. The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets and liabilities determined using the income approach, included accounts receivable of $177, inventory of $232, prepaids of $3, net property, plant and equipment of $16, other non-current assets of $6, accounts payable of $98, other payables of $6, non-current tax liabilities of $124, intangible assets of $620 (with an estimated life of 10 years) and the remainder to goodwill (non-deductible for tax purposes). The business continues to operate in Bangkok, Thailand, reporting within the Food Safety segment.

Corvium Acquisition

On February 10, 2023, the Company acquired certain assets as part of an asset purchase agreement with Corvium, Inc., a partner and supplier within the Company's software analytics platform. This acquisition, which primarily includes the software technology, advances the Company's food safety data analytics strategy. The purchase price consideration was $24,067, which included $9,004 held in escrow. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, $8,000 of the escrow balance was released to Corvium, Inc. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the remaining escrow balance was released to Corvium, Inc. This transaction is a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method.

There also is the potential for performance milestone payments of up to $8,500 based on successful implementation of the software service at customer sites and sale of licenses. As a result, the Company has recorded contingent liabilities of $930 as part of the opening balance sheet within other non-current liabilities, as shown below.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an increase to intangible assets of $100, based on finalization of a third-party advisor's valuation work and fair value estimates. Goodwill, which is fully deductible for tax purposes, includes value associated with profits earned from data management solutions that can be offered to existing customers and the expertise and reputation of the assembled workforce. These values are Level 3 fair value measurements.

The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which was determined using the income approach, is summarized in the following table:

Prepaids and other current assets	$	66
Property, plant and equipment		13
Intangible assets		10,280
Deferred revenue		(1,827	)
Adjustment of annual license prepaid		(419	)
Other non-current liabilities		(930	)
Total identifiable assets and liabilities acquired		7,183
Goodwill		16,884
Total purchase consideration	$	24,067

For each completed acquisition listed above, the revenues and net income were not considered material and were therefore not disclosed.

3M Food Safety Transaction

On September 1, 2022, Neogen, 3M, and Neogen Food Safety Corporation (“Neogen Food Safety Corporation”), formerly named Garden SpinCo, a subsidiary created to carve out 3M’s FSD, closed on a transaction combining 3M’s FSD with Neogen in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction and Neogen Food Safety Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Neogen (“FSD transaction”). Immediately following the FSD transaction, pre-merger Neogen Food Safety Corporation stockholders owned, in the aggregate, approximately 50.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Neogen common stock and pre-merger Neogen shareholders owned, in the aggregate, approximately 49.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Neogen common stock. This transaction is a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method.

The purchase price consideration for the 3M FSD was $3.2 billion, net of customary purchase price adjustments and transaction costs, which consisted of 108,269,946 shares of Neogen common stock issued on closing with a fair value of $2.2 billion and non-cash consideration of $1 billion, funded by the additional financing obtained by Garden SpinCo and assumed by the Company as part of the transaction. See Note 10, "Debt" for further detail on the debt incurred.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded adjustments to goodwill and intangible assets, based on third-party advisor's valuation work and fair value estimates, resulting in an increase to goodwill and a decrease to the intangible assets balance. The company also recorded adjustments to deferred tax liabilities, which increased the balance, based on finalization of entity income tax provisions. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of $1.97 billion was recorded as goodwill, of which $1.92 billion is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill includes value associated with profits earned from market and expansion capabilities, expected synergies from integration and streamlining operational activities, the expertise and reputation of the assembled workforce and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. These values are Level 3 fair value measurements.

The final purchase price allocation, based upon the fair value of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which was determined using the income approach, is summarized in the following table:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	319
Inventories		18,403
Other current assets		14,855
Property, plant and equipment		25,832
Intangible assets		1,559,805
Right of use asset		882

The Company had a financing agreement with a bank providing for a $15,000 unsecured revolving line of credit, which originally expired on November 30, 2023, but was replaced by the five-year senior secured revolving facility as part of the Credit Facilities described below. There were no advances against the line of credit in fiscal 2023 before it was extinguished. Interest on any borrowings under that agreement was at LIBOR plus 100 basis points. Financial covenants included maintaining specified levels of tangible net worth, debt service coverage, and funded debt to EBITDA, each of which the Company was in compliance with during the period the line of credit was available.

Credit Facilities

In June 2022, Neogen Food Safety Corporation entered into a credit agreement consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan facility (“term loan facility”) in the amount of $650,000 and a five-year senior secured revolving facility (“revolving facility”) in the amount of $150,000 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) to fund the 3M Food Safety transaction. The term loan facility was drawn on August 31, 2022, to fund the closing of the 3M Food Safety transaction on September 1, 2022 while the revolving facility remained undrawn and continues to be undrawn as of February 29, 2024.

The Credit Facilities bear interest based on the term SOFR plus an applicable margin between a range of 150 to 225 basis points determined for each interest period and paid monthly. During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, the interest rates ranged from 7.42% to 7.68% per annum. The term loan facility matures on June 30, 2027 and the revolving facility matures at the earlier of June 30, 2027 and the termination of the revolving commitments. In November 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, whereby interest on $250,000 of the total $550,000 principal balance is paid at a fixed rate. See Note 13, "Derivatives" for further detail on the swap agreement.

The term loan facility contains an optional prepayment feature at the discretion of the Company. The Company determined that the prepayment feature did not meet the definition of an embedded derivative and does not require bifurcation from the host liability and, accordingly, has accounted for the entire instrument at amortized cost. In accordance with the prepayment feature, the Company paid $100,000 of the term loan facility’s principal in fiscal year 2023.

The Company can draw any amount under the revolving facility up to the $150,000 limit, with the amount to be repaid on the termination date of the revolving commitments. Debt issuance costs of $2,361 were incurred related to the revolving facility. These costs are being amortized as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the contractual life of the revolving facility using the straight-line method. Amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs for the revolving facility was $122 and $366, respectively, during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. Amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs for the revolving facility was $122 and $244, respectively, for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023. As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 the Company had $1,629 and $1,995, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

The Company must pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.20% and 0.35% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, paid quarterly. As of February 29, 2024, the commitment fee was 0.35%, with $122 and $366, respectively, recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, $133 and $356, respectively, relating to the commitment fee was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

There was no accrued interest payable on the term loan as of February 29, 2024. The Company incurred $10,232 in total debt issuance costs on the term loan which is recorded as an offset to the term loan facility and amortized over the contractual life of the loan to interest expense using the straight-line method. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $529 and $1,588 and interest expense of $10,497 and $31,365 (excluding swap credit of $778 and $2,230) for the term loan was included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $529 and $1,058 and interest expense of $9,056 and $17,383 (excluding swap credit of $136) was included in the consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively. As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, the Company had $7,056 and $8,644, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Financial covenants include maintaining specified levels of funded debt to EBITDA, and debt service coverage. As of February 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

Senior Notes

In July 2022, Neogen Food Safety Corporation closed on an offering of $350,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due in 2030 (the “Notes”) in a private placement at par. The Notes were initially issued by Neogen Food Safety Corporation to 3M and were transferred and delivered by 3M to the selling securityholder in the offering, in satisfaction of certain of 3M’s existing debt. Upon closing of the 3M Food Safety transaction on September 1, 2022, the Notes became guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company determined that the redemption features of the Notes did not meet the definition of a derivative and thus does not require bifurcation from the host liability and accordingly has accounted for the entire instrument at amortized cost.

Total accrued interest on the Notes was $3,438 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 based on the stated interest rate of 8.625% and included in current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred total debt issuance costs of $6,683, which are recorded as an offset to the Notes and amortized over the contractual life of the Notes to interest expense using the straight-line method. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded $7,756 and $23,267 of interest expense for the Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of which $209 and $627 related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, respectively. During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, the Company recorded $7,756 and $19,089 of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, of which $209 and $557 related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 the Company had $5,291 and $5,917, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Finance Lease

The finance lease is a building lease that is classified within property and equipment and the current portion of debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 29, 2024. The Company intends to elect the purchase option within the lease agreement prior to the end of the lease term.

Maturity of Term Loan and Senior Notes

There are no required principal payments through fiscal year 2026, due to $100,000 in prepayments made in fiscal 2023.

Income Taxes

11. INCOME TAXES

The estimated annual effective tax rate ("EAETR") is derived from full-year pre-tax book earnings, statutory tax rates, and permanent differences between book and tax accounting across jurisdictions. For interim financial reporting, except in specified cases, the quarterly income tax provision aligns with the EAETR, updated each quarter based on revised full-year pre-tax book earnings. When projected full-year pre-tax book earnings are at or near breakeven, the EAETR may distort the interim income tax provision due to significant permanent differences. In such cases, the interim income tax provision is based on the year-to-date effective tax rate, adjusting for permanent differences proportionally.

In the three and nine months ending February 29, 2024, income taxes were calculated based on the year-to-date effective tax rate. In the three and nine months ending February 28, 2023, income taxes were calculated based on the EAETR.

Income tax benefit was $3,800 and $3,900 during the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024. Income tax benefit was $10,450 and $1,250 during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2023. The net tax benefit for all comparison periods is primarily related to pre-tax losses due to amortization expense and interest expense from the 3M FSD transaction.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are $1,949 and $1,087, respectively. Increases in unrecognized tax benefits are primarily associated with the acquired 3M FSD, including positions for transfer pricing and research and development credits.

Commitments and Contingencies

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in environmental remediation and monitoring activities at its Randolph, Wisconsin manufacturing facility and accrues for related costs when such costs are determined to be probable and estimable. The Company currently utilizes a pump and treat remediation strategy, which includes semi-annual monitoring and reporting, consulting, and maintenance of monitoring wells. These annual remediation costs are expensed and have ranged from $38 to $131 per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated remaining liability for these costs is $916 as of both February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years. In fiscal 2019, the Company performed an updated Corrective Measures Study on the site, per a request from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and is currently in discussion with the WDNR regarding potential alternative remediation strategies going forward. The Company believes that the current pump and treat strategy is appropriate for the site. However, the Company has undertaken a pilot study in which chemical reagents were injected into the ground in an attempt to reduce on-site contamination. At this time, the outcome of the pilot study is unknown, but a change in the current remediation strategy, depending on the alternative selected, could result in an increase in future costs and ultimately, an increase in the currently recorded liability, with an offsetting charge to operations in the period recorded. The Company has recorded $100 as a current liability as of February 29, 2024, and the remaining $816 is recorded in other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company received $1,265 of business interruption insurance proceeds relating to fire damage that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 at one of our Animal Safety lab facilities. The proceeds were recorded within Cost of Revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is subject to certain legal and other proceedings in the normal course of business that, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect on its future results of operations or financial position.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We forecast our net exposure in various receivables and payables to fluctuations in the value of various currencies, and have entered into a number of foreign currency forward contracts each month to mitigate that exposure. These contracts are recorded net at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses from these contracts are recognized in other income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The notional amount of forward contracts in place was $65,088 and $15,500 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to January 2024.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

In November 2022, we entered into a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap agreement with an initial $250,000 notional value, which is designated as a cash flow hedge. This agreement fixed a portion of the variable interest due on our term loan facility, with an effective date of December 2, 2022 and a maturity date of June 30, 2027. Under the terms of the agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 4.215%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 150 to 225 basis points and receive a variable rate of interest based on term SOFR from the counterparty, which is reset according to the duration of the SOFR term. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 was a net asset (liability) of $928 and ($2,683), respectively. The Company expects to reclassify a $2,091 gain of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings in the next 12 months.

We record the fair value of our interest rate swaps on a recurring basis using Level 2 observable market inputs for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income represents net (loss) income and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net (loss) income and recognized directly as a component of equity. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our marketable securities and derivative instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our revolving credit agreement, and long-term debt, approximate their fair value based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

Leases

Leases

We lease various manufacturing, laboratory, warehousing and distribution facilities, administrative and sales offices, equipment and vehicles under operating leases. We evaluate our contracts to determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and classify it as a finance or operating lease. Currently, many of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in other assets, other accruals and other non-current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in net property and equipment and current portion of finance lease on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Costs associated with operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. Costs associated with finance leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within depreciation and interest expense over the term of the lease. The right-of-use operating lease assets were $15,301 and $11,933 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The total current and non-current operating lease liabilities were $15,771 and $12,089 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The finance lease assets were $2,496 as of February 29, 2024. There were no finance leases recorded as of May 31, 2023. See Note 10, "Debt", for detail on the finance lease liabilities.

Derivatives

Derivatives

The Company operates on a global basis and is exposed to the risk that its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions and has also entered into interest rate swap contracts as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. On the date the derivative is established, the Company designates the derivative as either a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge in accordance with its established policy. Each reporting period, derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The change in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and amounts are reclassified into earnings on the condensed consolidated statement of income when transactions are realized. Derivatives that are not determined to be effective hedges are adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Estimates And Assumption

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, variable consideration related to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, the market value of, and demand for, inventories, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes and related balance sheet accounts, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets and derivatives. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject Neogen to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Management attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing customers’ credit histories before extending credit and by monitoring credit exposure on a regular basis. Collateral or other security is generally not required for accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for customer accounts that reduces receivables to amounts that are expected to be collected. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers relevant information about past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of financial assets. Once a receivable balance has been determined to be uncollectible, generally after all collection efforts have been exhausted, that amount is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. No customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at February 29, 2024 or May 31, 2023, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory

The reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory is reviewed at least quarterly based on an analysis of the inventory, considering the current condition of the asset as well as other known facts and future plans. The reserve required to record inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value is adjusted as conditions change. Product obsolescence may be caused by shelf-life expiration, discontinuance of a product line, replacement products in the marketplace or other competitive situations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of tangible net assets of acquired businesses after amounts are allocated to other identifiable intangible assets. The Company's business is organized into two operating segments: Food Safety and Animal Safety. Under the goodwill guidance, management determined that each of its segments represents a reporting unit. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, licenses, trade names, covenants not-to-compete and patents. Customer relationship intangibles are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis, reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed, while all other amortizable intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis. Intangibles are amortized over 2 to 25 years.

Management reviews the carrying amounts of goodwill annually at the reporting unit level, or when indications of impairment exist, to determine if goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. During management's annual test or when there are indicators of impairment, if the carrying amount is deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to EBITDA multiples of peer companies, goodwill is reduced to the estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment when indications of impairment exist. If the carrying amounts of these assets are deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis, such assets are reduced to their estimated fair value and a charge is recorded to operations.

Long-lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used, including definite-lived intangible assets, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in business conditions warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In such an event, fair value is determined using discounted cash flows and, if lower than the carrying value, impairment is recognized through a charge to operations.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. This method requires, among other things, that results of operations of acquired companies are included in Neogen’s results of operations beginning on the respective acquisition dates and that assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. As part of our acquisition accounting, the Company will recognize intangible assets. Management determines the fair value of the intangible assets by applying certain valuation methodologies, including the multi-period excess earnings method, which involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate and customer attrition rate. Valuation specialists are often used to develop and evaluate the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method, our discount rates, our attrition rate and our fair value estimates using our cash flow projections.

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 12 months from the acquisition date. Legal costs, due diligence costs, business valuation costs and all other business acquisition costs are expensed when incurred.

Our estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time. If we made different estimates or judgments, it could result in material differences in the fair values of the net assets acquired.

Equity Compensation Plans

Equity Compensation Plans

Share options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and shares of stock awarded to employees under certain stock purchase plans are recognized as compensation expense based on their fair value at grant date. The fair market value of options granted under the Company stock option plans was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for inputs such as interest rates, expected dividends, an estimate of award forfeitures, volatility measures and specific employee exercise behavior patterns based on statistical data. Some of the inputs used are not market-observable and are estimated or derived from available data. Use of different estimates would produce different option values, which in turn would result in higher or lower compensation expense recognized. For RSUs, we use the intrinsic value method to value the units.

To value equity awards, several recognized valuation models exist; none of these models can be singled out as being the best or most correct. The model applied by us can accommodate most of the specific features included in the options granted, which is the reason for its use. If different models were used, the option values could differ despite using the same inputs. Accordingly, using different assumptions coupled with using a different valuation model could have a significant impact on the fair value of employee stock options. Fair value could be either higher or lower than the number provided by the model applied and the inputs used. Further information on our equity compensation plans, including inputs used to determine the fair value of options, is disclosed in Note 7, "Equity Compensation Plans."

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for tax credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year.
