NEOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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. Our diagnostic test kits are generally easier to use and provide quicker results than conventional diagnostic methods. 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 to objectively analyze and store their results and perform analysis on the 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 Form10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-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.included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations forduring the three and nine month periodssix months ended February 28, 2018November 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2018.2024. For more complete financial information, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the May 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’sour Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.2023.

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 and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net loss 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 $15,015 and $11,933 as of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The total current and non-current operating lease liabilities were $15,366 and $12,089 as of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The finance lease assets were $2,569 as of November 30, 2023. 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 have 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) income, 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 atNovember 30, 2023 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 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.

9


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 relationships 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 comparable 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.

10


Equity Compensation Plans

Share options awarded to employees, 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 have to be 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.

2. INVENTORIESCASH 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 $205,765 and $163,240 as of November 30, 2023 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 November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023 are listed below by classification and remaining maturities.

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, dehydrated 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 six months ended November 30, 2023, the Company recorded additions of $4,121 and $5,978 to deferred revenue, respectively. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, the Company recorded additions of $2,479 and $4,671 to deferred revenue, respectively. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, the Company recognized $3,231 and $5,915, respectively, of deferred revenue amounts into revenue. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, the Company recognized $2,860 and $5,048, 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, dehydrated 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

13


is shipped to the customer. Many of these products are currently manufactured, invoiced, and distributed by 3M on behalf of Neogen under a number of transition service contracts. However, the Company is currently in the process of exiting the distribution-related service contracts. This will be complete on a global basis by the end of the third quarter in fiscal 2024.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

The Company has 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. All product revenues from the merger of the 3M FSD, effective September 1, 2022, are currently reported through the Food Safety segment. 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; thisdistributors. This segment also provides genomic identification and related interpretive bioinformatic services. Additionally, the Animal Safety segment produces and markets rodenticides, cleaners,rodent control products, disinfectants and insecticidesinsect control products to assist in the control of rodents, insects and disease in and around agricultural, food production and other facilities.

Neogen’sOur international operations in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, China and India originally focused on the Company’s Food Safetyfood safety products, and each of these units reports through the Food Safety segment. In recent years, these operations have expanded to offer the Company’sour complete line of products and services, including those usually associated with the Animal Safety segment, such as cleaners, disinfectants, rodenticides, insecticides,rodent control products, insect control products, veterinary instruments and genomicgenomics 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.

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

The guidance requirespurchase common stock at a 5% discount to the recognitionlower of the income effectsmarket value of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additionalpaid-in capital pools. The guidance also allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than on an estimated basis, and requires that excess tax benefits be classified as an operating activity on the Statement of Cash Flows. The adoption of this ASU increased income tax expense by $331,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2018 as the reduction in the corporate tax rate from the tax reform enacted in December 2017 resulted in a partial reversal of tax benefit previously recordedstock at the higher corporate rate inbeginning or end of each participation period under the first and second quartersterms of the current fiscal year; year to date, income tax expense decreased by $3,463,000 as a result of adoption of the ASU.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2016-10— Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends and adds clarity to certain aspects of the guidance set forth in ASU2014-09 related to identifying performance obligations and licensing. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: a full retrospective method to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has formed an internal team to implement the new standard. This team has identified all revenue streams at each significant subsidiary and is currently reviewing contracts to evaluate the potential impact of adopting the new standard on the Company’s revenue recognition policies, procedures and control framework and ultimately on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt this ASU on June 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02—Leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and aright-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessor have not significantly changed from previous U.S. GAAP. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Modified retrospective application is permitted with certain practical expedients. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on June 1, 2019 and is currently in the process of evaluating its lessee and lessor arrangements to determine the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This evaluation includes a review of revenue through leasing arrangements as well as lease expenses, which are primarily through operating lease arrangements at most of the Company’s facilities.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-09 — Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to provide guidance that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additionalpaid-in capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The Company adopted this standard effective June 1, 2017. Adoption of this ASU increased income tax expense by $331,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2018 as the reduction in the corporate tax rate from the tax reform enacted in December 2017 resulted in a partial reversal of tax benefit previously recorded at the higher corporate rate in the first and second quarters of the current fiscal year; year to date, income tax expense decreased by $3,463,000 as a result of adoption of the ASU.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-13—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how companies measure credit losses on most financial instruments measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, such as loans, receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. Rather than generally recognizing credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred, the revised guidance requires companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost the Company expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. ASU2016-13 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be adopted as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-15— Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in ASU2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption during an interim period. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the impact of ASUNo. 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

7. BUSINESS AND PRODUCT LINE ACQUISITIONS

The Consolidated Statements of Incomeoperations reflect the results of operations for business acquisitions since the respective dates of purchase. All are accounted for using the acquisition method.

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. 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.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded adjustments to intangible assets of $100, which increased the balance, 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. In January 2018, the Company paid the former owners $249,000 in contingent consideration based on the achievement of sales targets in the first year, and recorded a credit of $255,000 to other income, reducing the contingent consideration accrual by a corresponding amount; $554,000 remains accrued for contingent consideration payable at the end of the second year. This business continues to operate in its current location and is managed by Neogen Europe, reporting within the Food Safety segment.

Interest on any borrowings remainedunder that agreement was at LIBOR plus 100 basis points (rate under the terms of the agreement was 2.82% at February 28, 2018). Financial covenants includeincluded 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 November 30, 2023.

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 six months ended November 30, 2023, the interest rates ranged from 7.42% to 7.67% per annum.

"Derivatives"for further detail on the swap agreement.

9.The term loan facility contains an optional prepayment feature at the discretion of the Company.

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.

There was no accrued interest payable on the term loan as of November 30, 2023. 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 $1,059 and interest expense of $10,267 and $20,868 (excluding swap credit of $764 and $1,452) for the term loan was included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $529 and interest expense of $8,327 was included in the consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022.

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 $10,985 as of November 30, 2023 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 six months ended November 30, 2023, the Company recorded $7,756 and $15,511 of interest expense for the Notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of which $209 and $417 related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, respectively. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, the Company recorded $10,985 of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, of which $348 related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. As of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023 the Company had $5,500 and $5,917, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.

22


Finance Lease

The finance lease as of November 30, 2023 is a building lease that is classified within property and equipment and the current portion of debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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

Income tax benefit was $260 and $100 during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023. Income tax expense was $7,750 and $9,200 during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022. The net tax benefit during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 is primarily related to pre-tax losses resulting from amortization expense, interest expense and continued integration efforts of the 3M FSD. In the prior comparable periods, the net tax expense, despite pre-tax losses, is primarily related to certain non-deductible acquisition and transaction costs related to the 3M FSD transaction.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023 are $1,046 and $1,087, respectively. Changes 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 expensescurrently utilizes a pump and treat remediation strategy, which includes semi-annual monitoring and reporting, consulting, and maintenance of monitoring wells. These annual remediation costs of remediation, whichare expensed and have ranged from $38,000$38 to $57,000 $131per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated remaining liability for these costs was $916,000 at February 28, 2018is $916 as of both November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2017,2023, measured on an undiscounted basis over an estimated period of 15 years; $54,000years. 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 November 30, 2023, and the remaining $816 is recorded within currentin other non-current liabilities and the remainder is recorded within othernon-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.

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.

10. STOCK PURCHASEDerivatives 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 $65,041 and $15,500 as of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to January 2024.

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 November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023 was a net asset (liability) of $745 and ($2,683), respectively.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

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 Form10-Q. 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 lookingforward-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, andretention, 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, patent and trade secretintellectual 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 Form10-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.

Critical Accounting PoliciesTRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In prior years, production was negatively impacted by broad supply chain challenges, labor market disruptions and Estimates

The discussion and analysisother related lingering impacts of the Company’sCOVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, input costs 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 high 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 throughout fiscal year 2024, although at a continually decreasing rate compared to the prior two fiscal years.

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 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 resultsliquidity. We expect these issues to continue to impact us throughout fiscal year 2024.

International Revenue

International sales were $116.1 million and $234.0 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, compared to $115.6 million and $167.3 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022. The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and judgments that affectincrease during the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limitedsix months ended November 30, 2023 was primarily due to those$63.8 million in international sales related to receivable allowances, inventories, accruals, goodwill and other intangible assets. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,3M FSD transaction during the resultsfirst quarter 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.

There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations or contingent liabilities and commitments disclosedfiscal 2024. The increase in sales in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

The Company adopted ASUNo. 2016-09 related to share-based compensation on June 1, 2017. (See Note 5 Equity Compensation Plans for further discussion).

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (“the Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company will compute its income tax for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018 using a blended Federal Tax Rate of 29.2%.

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which addresses how a company recognizes provisional amounts when a company does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the effect of the changes in the Tax Act. The measurement period ends when a company has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year.

As of February 28, 2018, the Company was able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and recorded that estimatesecond quarter as a provisional amount. The provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax assets and liabilities resulted in a $5.6 million discrete tax benefit. In addition, the Company was required to estimate its cumulative unrepatriated foreign earnings and profits and

calculate estimated tax owed on those earnings and profits; this tax was provisionally estimated at $2.7 million. The provisional remeasurement and repatriation amounts are anticipated to change as more data becomes available allowing more accurate computations of the amounts.

There have been no other material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

Expressed asOn a percentage of sales, international sales were 39.0%core growth basis, revenues increased 1% in the year-to-date period, driven by strong sales of allergen test kits, primarily gluten and milk, during the first quarter, which offset the headwinds in sales of natural toxin test kits during the most recent fiscal quarter.

Bacterial & General Sanitation – Revenues in this category increased 4% and 70% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 36.3% in the third quarter a year ago. For the year to date, international sales were $110.5 million, an increase of 20%; international sales were 37.7% of total sales in the current year to date period and 35.1%same periods in the prior year. For each comparative period, international revenue increases wereCore growth in this category was 5% and 6%, during the resultthree and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively. The increase during the current quarter was driven primarily by higher sales of pathogen test kits and hygiene monitoring products in Latin America.

Indicator Testing, Culture Media & Other – Revenues in this category increased 2% and Neogen Australasia (Australia),63% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Core growth was slightly positive during the quarter and decreased 1% during the year-to-date period. Strong indicator testing revenues during the quarter in North America and Latin America more than offset softer culture media sales due to a large, non-recurring sale to a vaccine manufacturer in the prior year and, to a lesser extent, shipment delays. For the year-to-date period, a first-quarter decline in sales of Megazyme food quality and nutritional analysis products, due to distributor ordering patterns, contributed to the year-to-date core revenue increases at existing Company locations. Currency translation had a positive effect on international revenues of approximately $1.9 milliondecline.

Rodent Control, Insect Control & Disinfectants – Revenues in this category increased 6% and 10% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the thirdprior year. During the second quarter, core revenue decreased in this category by 1%, driven by lower sales of fiscal 2018 ascleaners and disinfectants in China and rodent control products in Latin America.

Revenues at Neogen Europe increased 16% in U.S. dollarsperiods in the thirdprior year. Core growth in this category was 1% in the second quarter, driven by increased sales in China. On a year-to-date basis, core growth was 4%, led by new business in beef markets in the U.K. and Brazil.

Animal Safety

Life Sciences – Revenues in this category increased 18% and 11% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased demand for substrates from manufacturers of diagnostic tests.

Veterinary Instruments & Disposables – Revenues in this category increased 3% during the three months ended November 30, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year; foryear, driven by increases in sales of detectable needles and syringes. During the nine month period, sales rose 10%. For the quarter, a 39% increasesix months ended November 30, 2023, revenues in genomics revenues offset lower mycotoxin test kit sales, as last year’s deoxynivalenol (DON) outbreak in corn crops in western Europe did not repeatthis category decreased 4% primarily driven by inventory de-stocking at some of our large veterinary distributors in the current year. Forfirst quarter.

Animal Care & Other – Revenues of these products decreased 15% and 19% during the year to date period, genomics sales increased 34%three and helped to offset lower DON test kit sales. Sales at Lab M, the Company’s subsidiary in England, increased 20% in the third quarter and 25% for the nine month period, as its culture media products continued to be integrated into Neogen’s global sales and marketing channels. Neogen Latinoamerica recorded a sales increase of 19% in the third quarter; Food Safety products increased 21% and Animal Safety products increased 17%, with broad-based gains recorded in both categories. For the year to date, revenues rose 18%, with Food Safety products and increases in genomics services providing the majority of the increase. Revenues at Neogen do Brasil declined 2% in the year’s third quarter, as a decrease in forensic test kit sales resulting from increased competition and customer losses caused by conversion to different testing methods more than offset increased sales of mycotoxin and dairy drug residue test kits. For the year to date, revenues increased 18%. Neogen China sales increased 28% in the third quarter and 21% for the year to date period, eachsix months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year; for each period, increasesyear. Core growth in this category, which excludes currency impact and the discontinued Thyrokare product line, declined 13% and 17% during three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively. This decrease was driven by lower sales of small animal supplements and wound care products caused primarily by distributor ordering patterns.

Rodent Control, Insect Control & Disinfectants – Revenues decreased 3% and 1% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The core revenue declines were equal to the reported revenue decreases and were driven by strengththe phasing of certain insect control booking programs in genomics servicesNorth America compared to the prior year.

strategic shift in the business to date, revenues were flat, as higherfocus primarily on large production animals to improve profitability and the associated customer attrition.

Gross Profit

Gross margin was 50.9% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 compared to 48.9% and 48.2% during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. The 200 basis point increase in the second quarter was primarily due to product mix from increased sales of higher margin products in the Food Safety products and testing services were almost entirely offset by the cleaner and disinfectant revenue from last year’s third quarter which did not repeat this year.

Service revenue was $17.8 millionsegment. The increase in the quarteryear-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 pressured gross margins in certain product lines, specifically in the prior fiscal year periods. However, while inflation continues to impact the business, raw material price increases and freight costs declined significantly during the comparative period, particularly benefiting the Animal Safety segment. Finally, pricing actions taken during the prior fiscal year also mitigated the impact of cost increases.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $102.3 million and $199.9 million during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, an increase of $3.4 million, or 24%,November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $14.4$120.2 million and $176.4 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease during the three months ended November 30, 2023 was primarily the result of lower transaction fees and integration expenses. The increase during the six months ended November 30, 2023 was primarily the result of an entire six months of ongoing expenses resulting from the acquired 3M FSD employees, additional costs added to facilitate providing back office and distribution activities related to the acquired 3M FSD product lines and amortization of intangible assets acquired in the thirdFSD Transaction. As the transaction was executed on September 1, 2022, these additional costs were not incurred in the first quarter of the prior year. For

Revenues for the Company’s consumable product lines to detect spoilage organisms in processed foods decreased 2% in the current quarter but increased 3% for the nine month period.

Dehydrated Culture Media & Other sales increased 1% in the third quarter. This category includes forensic test kits sold through the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary. Demand for these kits from customers located in Brazil had increased dramatically in the prior year due to a new requirement for drug testing of commercial truck drivers, however, sales of these kits in Brazil have decreased in the current year as a result of increased competitionlower transaction fees and customer losses caused by conversion to different testing methods. In the third quarter, the Company’s worldwide Lab M sales increased 21% and Acumedia sales increased 6%.

Sales of Rodenticides, Insecticides & Disinfectants products sold through the Company’s Food Safety operations increased 46% in the third quarter; the organic sales increase in this category was 29%. For the nine month period, sales increased $11.1 million; excluding first year sales of the Quat-Chem and Rogama acquisitions, the year to date sales increase was 16%. In the third quarter, the increase was primarily due to Rogama shipping a large order resulting from a government contract; this sale is unlikely to recur in the next 12 months.

The interest expense recorded during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 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 portfolio. Higher yields on the portfolio during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 were partially offset by lower balances. Other expense 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 $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $7.8 million and $9.2 million of income tax expense during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. The net tax benefit during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 is primarily related to pre-tax losses resulting from amortization expense, interest expense and continued FSD integration efforts. In the prior comparable periods, the net tax expense, despite pre-tax losses, is primarily related to certain non-deductible acquisition and transaction costs related to the 3M FSD transaction.

The total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023 are $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Changes in unrecognized tax benefits are primarily associated with the acquired 3M FSD, including positions for transfer pricing and research and development credits.

Net Loss

Net loss was $3.5 million and $2.0 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively, compared to net loss of $41.8 million and $36.6 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in the net loss during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023 was primarily the result of higher transaction fees and integration costs in the prior year;year, which were $39.1 million and $52.9 million during the year to date increase was 12%. The increase in the current year is due to market share gains of supplements for companion animalsthree and vitamin injectables, and increased sales of vaccines to a large distributor; additionally, last year’s results included sales credits totaling $1.1 million in the first quarter as the Company removed its canine thyroid product from its distribution channels, after the FDA approved a new drug application for a competitive product.

Rodenticides, Insecticides & Disinfectants sales decreased 9% in the quarter and 5% for the year to date period, as the termination of a distribution agreement with a manufacturer of cleaners and disinfectants in January 2017 resulted in lost sales for those distributed products of $1.4 million in the third quartersix months ended November 30, 2022, respectively. Since completion of the current fiscal year and $3.9 million for the year to date period. These losses were offset by an 11% increase in rodenticide sales in the third quarter as the Company gained incremental business with several large customers; year to date sales rose by 9%.

Genomics Services3M transaction, increased 19% in both the third quarter and year to date periods, respectively, each compared to the same period in the prior year. The growth for both periods was led by increases in sales to the global cattle and companion animal markets, higher volumes from a large poultry customer and, to a lesser extent, revenues from the acquisition of Neogen Australasia, in September 2017.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was 47.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to 46.3% in the same quarter a year ago. Gross margins for the quarter were positively impacted by lower costs inputs at the Company’s genomics operations and favorable product mix towards higher margin diagnostic and animal care products; this improvement was somewhat offset by lower sales of mycotoxin test kits due to a prior year outbreak of DON in corn crops in the U.S. and western Europe, which did not recur in the current fiscal year. Gross margin for the nine month period ended February 28, 2018 was 48.0% compared to 47.6% in the same period of the prior year. Gross margins for the year to date were positively impacted by improved raw material costs at the Company’s genomics operations and favorable product mix towards higher margin diagnostic and animal care products; this improvement was somewhat offset by mix

changes resulting from the three most recent acquisitions (Rogama, Quat-Chem and Neogen Australasia), all of which have gross margins that are lower than the historical average for the Company, and lower sales of mycotoxin test kits due to a prior year outbreak of DON in corn crops in the U.S. and western Europe, which did not recur in the current fiscal year.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $29.6 million in the third quarter, compared to $26.5 million in the same quarter of last fiscal year, an

increase of $3.1 million, or 12%. Sales and marketing expenses were $17.5 million, compared to $15.3 million in last year’s third quarter, an increase of 14%, primarily due to increases in salaries and related personnel costs, shipping expense, and higher advertising expenses in support of new product launches. General and administrative expense increased $700,000, or 9%, in the third quarter; increases in amortization of acquired intangible assets, IT consulting, and higher salary expenses were partially offset by lower stock basedincremental revenues, which generated gross profits higher than the legacy company average margin.

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.

31


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. We exclude the revaluation impacts of foreign currency fluctuations on our intercompany loan balances that we initiated in conjunction with the FSD transaction.
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.

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.

32


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.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $9.0 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023 and reduced legal expenses. In last year’s third quarter,increased $16.4 million during the Company closed on two acquisitions, while there were none in this year’s third quarter. For the year to date period, research and development expense increased 7% in the third quarter to a total of $2.8 million. Increases were due to increases in compensation, higher depreciation resulting from investments in laboratory equipment, and projects relating to product improvements and new product development. For the year to date, research and development expenses increased 10%. Operating expenses for the nine month period were $90.3 million, an increase of $11.3 million, or 14% over the same period last fiscal year. The recent acquisitions accounted for $2.8 million of the increase.

Adjusted Net Income decreased $6.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018, operating income was $50.3 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 10%, compared to operating income of $45.9 million for the same period last year. Expressed as a percentage of revenue, year to date operating income was 17.2% compared to 17.5% in the prior year.

Other Income and Income Tax

Other income was $1.4 million for both the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and the same period in 2017. Components of other income in this year’s third quarter included $525,000 of interest income, $360,000 from an insurance settlement, $179,000 in currency gains and a $255,000 gain recorded on the settlement of contingent consideration related to the Quat-Chem acquisition. Last year’s fiscal third quarter included a gain on the settlement of a licensing agreement of $660,000, currency gains of $442,000, and interest income of $271,000. For the year to date period in fiscal 2018, other income was $3.2 million, primarily comprised of $1.3 million of interest income, currency gains of $1.1 million, $360,000 from an insurance settlement, $255,000 gain recorded on the settlement of contingent consideration related to the Quat-Chem acquisition, and $78,000 of royalty income. For the same period in fiscal 2017, other income was $1.8 million, which included interest income of $691,000, gain on the settlement of a licensing agreement of $660,000, currency gains of $263,000, and royalty income of $79,000.

Income tax expense in the third quarter was $700,000, an effective tax rate of 4%, compared to prior year third quarter expense of $5.4 million, an effective tax rate of 34%. The Company recorded favorable tax adjustments totaling $2.9 million during the quarter as the result of tax reform passed in the U.S. in December 2017. The tax reform reduced the statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, and also resulted in other adjustments to income tax expense. The Company will compute its income tax for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018 using a blended Federal Tax Rate of 29.2%. Accordingly, first and second quarter income previously subject to tax at the 35% Federal Tax Rate benefitted from the 29.2% Federal Tax Rate. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the Company revalued its net deferred tax liabilities during the quarter to reflect the lower rate, resulting in a credit to income tax expense of $5.6 million. In addition, the Company was required to estimate its cumulative unrepatriated foreign earnings and profits and calculate tax owed on those earnings and profits during the third quarter. This tax was estimated at $2.7 million, and the amount was recorded as federal income tax expense; payment of the tax is permitted over an eight year period.

18


For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, income tax expense was $7.9 million compared to $16.3 million in the prior year; the current year to date effective tax rate was 15%, compared to an effective tax rate of 34% in the prior fiscal year. For the year to date period, the lower effective rate is primarily the result of the tax reform passed in the U.S. in December 2017 as discussed in the preceding paragraph. Additionally, during the year the Company has recorded credits of $3.4 million to federal income tax expense for excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options,November 30, 2023 due to the adoption of ASU2016-09; refer to Note 5 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, an IRS examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016 was concluded. As a result of the favorable outcome of the audit, the Company reversed a total of $816,000 from its reserve for uncertain tax positions, which had been accrued in prior fiscal years, with a corresponding credit to federal income tax expense.lower Adjusted EBITDA.

Net Income

Net income attributable to Neogen increased 61% from $10.3 million to $16.6 million for the three month period ended February 28,

2018. For the year to date period, net income was $45.6 million, a 46% increase over prior year net income of $31.3 million. Pre tax income increases of 10% for the quarter and 12% for the year to date were favorably impacted by the effects of tax reform, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, and positive results from the IRS examination that concluded during the year’s second quarter.

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. 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 expectedreceive any proceeds from the sale of the Notes by the selling securityholder. Prior to havethe distribution of the shares of Neogen Food Safety Corporation’s common stock to 3M stockholders, the Notes were guaranteed on a material effect on operations, as management believes it will continue to be successful in offsetting increased input costs with price increases and/or cost efficiencies.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash and marketable securities balances at February 28, 2018 along with available borrowingssenior unsecured basis by 3M. Upon consummation of such distribution, 3M was released from all obligations under its credit facilityguarantee. 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.

In addition to the 3M transaction described above, our future cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund activities for the foreseeable future. However, existing cashgeneration and borrowing capacity may not be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements to fund the operating business, repay debt obligations, construct new manufacturing facilities, commercialize products currently under development or itsexecute our future plans to acquire other organizations, technologies oradditional businesses, technology and products that fit within the Company’s mission statement.our strategic plan. Accordingly, the Companywe may be required, or may choose, to issue additional equity securities or enter into other financing arrangements for a portion of itsour future financingcapital 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.

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 the Company’sour disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2018November 30, 2023 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Executive Chairman and the Vice 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 effective.operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

NoOther 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 28, 2018November 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
