Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The interim consolidated financial statements of Bio-Techne Corporation and subsidiaries, (the Company) presented here have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023. A summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company is detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023. The Company follows these policies in preparation of the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company operated under two operating segments, Protein Sciences and Diagnostics and Genomics. The operating segments the Company operated under were consistent with the Company's operating segments disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2023.

Partially-owned consolidated subsidiary: On September 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its equity shares of Changzhou Eminence Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Eminence) for approximately $17.8 million to a third party. Eminence was considered a variable-interest entity that was fully consolidated in our financial statements. Prior to the sale, Eminence had revenue of $2.0 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2023 within our Protein Sciences segment. As a result of the sale of the business, the Company recorded a gain of $11.7 million within the Other income (expense) line in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Investments: In December 2021, the Company paid $25 million to enter into a two-part forward contract which requires the Company to make an initial ownership investment followed by purchase of full equity interest in Wilson Wolf Corporation (Wilson Wolf) if certain annual revenue or annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) thresholds are met. Wilson Wolf is a leading manufacturer of cell culture devices, including the G-Rex product line. The first part of the forward contract is triggered upon Wilson Wolf achieving approximately $92 million in annual revenue or $55 million in EBITDA at any point prior to December 31, 2027. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company determined that Wilson Wolf had met the EBITDA target. On March 31, 2023, the Company paid an additional $232 million to acquire 19.9% of Wilson Wolf.

Since the first part of the forward contract has been triggered, the second part of the forward contract will automatically trigger, and requires the Company to acquire the remaining equity interest in Wilson Wolf on December 31, 2027 based on a revenue multiple of approximately 4.4 times trailing twelve month revenue. The second part of the contract would be accelerated in advance of December 31, 2027, if Wilson Wolf meets its second milestone of approximately $226 million in annual revenue or $136 million in annual EBITDA. If the second milestone is achieved, the forward contract requires the Company to pay approximately $1 billion plus potential consideration for revenue in excess of the revenue milestone.

​

​

The investment in Wilson Wolf is accounted for as an equity method investment under ASC 323. The Company initially records its equity method investments at the amount of the Company’s investment and adjusts each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s income or loss and dividends paid. Distributions from the equity method investee are accounted for using the cumulative earnings approach on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. There was $1.7 million and $6.0 million of loss for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income related to the investment. There was not material income or loss during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s total investment of $248 million is included within Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024. There was $256 million included within Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023.

Restructuring actions: Restructuring actions generally include significant actions involving employee-related severance charges, contract termination costs, and impairments and disposals of assets associated with such actions. Employee-related severance charges are based upon distributed employment policies and substantive severance plans. These charges are reflected in the quarter when the actions are probable and the amounts are estimable, which typically is when management approves the associated actions. Asset-related and other charges include impairment of right-of-use assets, leasehold improvements, other asset write-downs associated with combining operations, disposal of assets and other exit costs. Other costs also includes restructuring-related charges, which are incremental costs incurred directly supporting business transformation initiatives tied to the restructuring action.

Fiscal Year 2024 Restructuring Actions:

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company announced enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our distribution footprint, and enhancing our organization efficiency. These actions impacted approximately 4% of our global workforce. The Company is expecting to incur costs related to these actions through the first half of fiscal 2025, which will be recorded when specified criteria are met.

As part of these actions, certain assets and liabilities associated with a disposal group in our Protein Sciences segment were classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2023, including $1.4 million of goodwill allocated to the disposal group on a relative fair value basis. As a result of an impairment test performed over the disposal group in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an impairment charge of $6.0 million which includes the allocated goodwill, was recorded in the Selling, general and administrative line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the assets remaining within the disposal group primarily include inventory of $11.2 million, property and equipment of $5.6 million, intangibles of $14.3 million, and current liabilities of $0.7 million. These assets are actively marketed and we believe their sale will be completed within 12 months of the held-for-sale classification date. The held-for-sale assets and liabilities are recorded in Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024.
