Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the sale of bioprocessing products, equipment devices, and related consumables used with these equipment devices to customers in the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

When disaggregating revenue, the Company considered all of the economic factors that may affect its revenues. Because its revenues are from bioprocessing customers, there are no differences in the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows from any of its product lines. However, given that the Company’s revenues are generated in different geographic regions, factors such as regulatory and geopolitical factors within those regions could impact the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows.

Disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by geographic region can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Segment Reporting,” above.

There was no revenue from customers that represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Revenue from Pfizer Inc. was $68.3 million, or 10%, of the Company's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Filtration Products

The Company’s filtration products generate revenue through the sale of KrosFlo and ARTeSYN tangential flow filtration (“TFF”) systems, TangenX® flat sheet (“FS") cassettes, Spectrum® HF filters, membranes and modules, XCell ATF systems and related consumables. Supporting our systems, we also sell ProConnex® Flow Path assemblies and custom silicone-based, single-use flow path assemblies and components from Metenova, FlexBiosys, BioFlex, Polymem, ARTeSYN Biosolutions Holdings Ireland Limited, NMS and EMT, seven acquisitions completed since 2020.

The Company’s KrosFlo and ARTeSYN systems are used in the filtration, isolation, purification and concentration of biologics and diagnostic products. TFF is a rapid and efficient method for separation and purification of biomolecules that is widely used in laboratory, process development and process scale applications in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Sales of large-scale systems generally include components and consumables as well as training and installation services at the request of the customer. Because the initial sale of components and consumables is necessary for the operation of the system, such items are combined with the systems as a single performance obligation. Training and installation services do not significantly modify or customize these systems and therefore represent a distinct performance obligation.

The Company’s TangenX FS cassettes (SIUS, SIUS Gamma® and PRO) are not highly interdependent on one another and are therefore considered distinct products that represent separate performance obligations. Product revenue from the sale of TangenX FS cassettes is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of the customer.

The Company’s other filtration product offerings are not highly interdependent of one another and are therefore considered distinct products that represent separate performance obligations. Revenue on these products is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer. The Company invoices the customer for the installation and training services in an

amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date; therefore, revenue recognized is based on the amount billable to the customer in accordance with the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18.

The Company also markets XCell ATF controllers, which are technologically advanced filtration devices used in upstream processes to continuously remove cellular metabolic waste products during the course of a fermentation run, freeing healthy cells to continue producing the biologic drug of interest. XCell ATF controllers are typically sold with consumables (i.e., tubing sets, metal stands) as well as training and installation services at the request of the customer. The controllers and consumables are considered distinct products and therefore represent separate performance obligations. First time purchasers of the controllers typically purchase a controller that is shipped with the tubing set(s) and metal stand(s). The training and installation services do not significantly modify or customize the XCell ATF controllers and therefore represent a distinct performance obligation. XCell ATF product revenue related to controllers and consumables is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.

Chromatography Products

The Company’s chromatography products include a number of products used in the downstream purification and quality control of biological drugs. The majority of chromatography revenue relates to the OPUS pre-packed chromatography column product line. OPUS columns are designed to be disposable following a production campaign. Each OPUS column is delivered pre-packaged with the customer’s choice of chromatography resin, which is either provided by the Company for the customer or is customer supplied. Chromatography product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer and represents a single performance obligation.

Process Analytics Products

The process analytics franchise generates revenue primarily through the sale of the SoloVPE and FlowVPX slope spectroscopy systems, consumables and service. These products complement and support the Company’s existing filtration, chromatography and proteins franchises as they allow end-users to make in-line protein concentration measurements in filtration, chromatography and fill-finish applications, designed to allow for real-time process management. Process analytics product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.

Protein Products

The Company’s protein franchise generates revenue primarily through the sale of Protein A affinity ligands and growth factors. Protein A ligands are an essential component of Protein A chromatography resins (media) used in the purification of virtually all mAb-based drugs on the market or in development. The Company manufactures multiple forms of Protein A ligands under long-term supply agreements with major life sciences companies, who in turn sell their Protein A chromatography media to end users (biopharmaceutical manufacturers). The Company also manufactures growth factors for sale under long-term supply agreements with certain life sciences companies as well as for direct sales to its customers. Each protein product is considered distinct and therefore represents a separate performance obligation. Protein product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.

In 2021, the Company completed the Avitide Acquisition and added its diverse libraries and leading technology in affinity ligand discovery and development to its proteins franchise. The acquisition gives the Company a new platform for affinity resin development, including C&GT, and advances and expands the Company’s proteins and chromatography franchises to address the unique purification needs of gene therapies and other emerging modalities.

Other Products

The Company’s other products include operating room products sold to hospitals. Other product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of contracts for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed. The Company’s future performance obligations relate primarily to the installation and training of

certain of its systems sold to customers. These performance obligations are completed within one year of receipt of a purchase order from its customers. Accordingly, the Company has elected to not disclose the value of these unsatisfied performance obligations as provided under ASC 606-10-50-14.

A contract asset is created when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to the customer. Contract assets may represent conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. The right is conditional and recorded as a contract asset if the Company must first satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables once the right becomes unconditional. If the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration from the customer, the contract asset is accounted for as a billed receivable and presented separately from other contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract

The Company’s sales commission structure is based on achieving revenue targets. The commissions are driven by revenue derived from customer purchase orders which are short term in nature.

Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company accounts for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation.
