NEOGEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Neogen Corporation (“Neogen” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periodsperiod ended February 28, 2018August 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2018.2023. For more complete financial information, these 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 Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

2022.

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 income (loss). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statement of income.
Share and per share amounts reflect the June 4, 2021
2-for-1
stock split as if it took place at the beginning of the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued Update
2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides temporary optional expedients to applying the reference rate reform guidance to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Under this update, contract modifications resulting in a new reference rate may be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. This guidance is effective upon issuance of the update and applies to contract modifications made through December 31, 2022. When we adopt this standard in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we will use the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) represents net income and any revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, are excluded from net income and recognized directly as a component of equity. Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our marketable securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments other than cash equivalents and marketable securities, which include accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.
7

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.
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, all our leases are classified as operating leases. Topic 842 requires the Company to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a
right-of-use
asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.
Right-of-use
assets are recorded in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Current and
non-current
lease liabilities are recorded in other accruals within current liabilities and other
non-current
liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Costs associated with operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease. The
right-of-use
assets were $2,834,000 and $3,184,000 at August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2022, respectively. The total current and
non-current
lease liabilities were $2,899,000 and $3,228,000 at August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2022, respectively.
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. 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 Allowance
Management attempts to minimize credit risk by reviewing customers’ credit history before extending credit and by monitoring credit exposure on a regular basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Collateral or other security is generally not required for accounts receivable. 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.
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.
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. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, licenses, trade names, covenants
not-to-compete
and patents. Customer-based 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 generally amortized over 5 to 25 years.
8

We review the carrying amounts of goodwill and other
non-amortizable
intangible assets annually, or when indications of impairment exist, to determine if such assets may be impaired. If the carrying amounts of these assets are deemed to be less than fair value based upon a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to comparable EBITDA multiples of peer companies, 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. Contingent consideration liabilities are recognized at the estimated fair value on the acquisition date; these are recorded in either other accruals within current liabilities (for expected payments in less than a year) or other
non-current
liabilities (for expected payments in greater than a year), both on our consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are recognized in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income. Contingent consideration payments made soon after the acquisition date are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Contingent consideration payments not made soon after the acquisition date that are related to the acquisition date fair value are reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and amounts paid in excess of the original acquisition date fair value are reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. 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.
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 are the reason for their 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.
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.

2. CASH AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand accounts, savings deposits, certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses related to these balances and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk regarding its cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $107,098,000 and $44,473,000 at August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2022, 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 at August 31, 2022. Changes in market value are monitored and recorded on a monthly basis; 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. These securities are classified as available for sale. 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 income on the income statement. Adjustments in the fair value of these assets are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Marketable Securities as of August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2022 are listed below by classification and remaining maturities.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through application of the following steps:
Identification of the contract with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
Essentially all of Neogen’s revenue is generated through contracts with its customers. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a product or service to a customer. We generally recognize revenue at a point in time when all of our performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The collectability of consideration on the contract is reasonably assured before revenue is recognized. To the extent that customer payment has been received before all recognition criteria are met, these revenues are initially deferred in other accruals on the balance sheet and the revenue is recognized in the period that all recognition criteria have been met.
Certain agreements with customers include discounts or rebates on the sale of products and services applied retrospectively, such as volume rebates achieved by purchasing a specified purchase threshold of goods and services. We account for these discounts as variable consideration and estimate the likelihood of a customer meeting the threshold in order to determine the transaction price using the most predictive approach. We typically use the most-likely-amount method for incentives that are offered to individual customers, and the expected-value method for programs that are offered to a broad group of customers. Variable consideration reduces the amount of revenue that is recognized. Rebate obligations related to customer incentive programs are recorded in accrued liabilities; the rebate estimates are adjusted at the end of each applicable measurement period based on information currently available.
The performance obligations in Neogen’s contracts are generally satisfied well within one year of contract inception. In such cases, management has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. Management has elected to utilize the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred because the amortization period for the prepaid costs that would otherwise have been deferred and amortized is one year or less. We account for shipping and handling for products as a fulfillment activity when goods are shipped. Shipping and handling costs that are charged to and reimbursed by the customer are recognized as revenues, while the related expenses incurred by Neogen are recorded in sales and marketing expense. Revenue is recognized net of any tax collected from customers; the taxes are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Our terms and conditions of sale generally do not provide for returns of product or reperformance of service except in the case of quality or warranty issues. These situations are infrequent; due to immateriality of the amount, warranty claims are recorded in the period incurred.
The Company derives revenue from two primary sources - product revenue and service revenue.
11

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
Rodenticides, disinfectants and insecticides 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 listed as Deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has AND GEOGRAPHIC DATA

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

Neogen’s

Our 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, veterinary instruments and genomicgenomics services. These additional products and services are managed and directed by existing 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 has 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.

During the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2018August 31, 2022 and 2017,2021, the Company recorded $1,026,000$1,867,000 and $1,198,000 and $3,692,000 and $3,932,000,$1,690,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to its share-based awards. On June 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASUNo. 2016-09, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires the recognition of the income 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 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 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.

The weighted-average fair value per share of stock options granted during fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017,year 2022, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $14.44 and $11.84, respectively.$8.49.

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.

3M Food Safety transaction
On September 1, 2022, after the close of the first quarter, Neogen, 3M, and Garden SpinCo, a newly formed subsidiary of 3M created to carve out 3M’s Food Safety business, closed on the transaction which had previously been announced in December 2021, combining 3M’s Food Safety business with Neogen in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. Immediately following the transaction, Garden SpinCo stockholders own, in the aggregate, approximatel
y 50.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Neogen common stock and
pre-merger
Neogen shareholders own, in the aggregate, approximately 49.9%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Neogen common stock. Garden SpinCo became a subsidiary of Neogen on September 1. On closing, the transaction valued the 3M’s Food Safety business at approximate
ly $3.3 
billion based on the issuance of 108,269,946 shares of Neogen common stock at a price of
$20.90
per share on August 31, 2022 and
 $1 
billion in debt assumed by Neogen post close. 3M’s Food Safety business funded 3M consideration valued at approximat
ely $1 billion at
close.
3M’s former Food Safety business is a leading provider of food safety testing solutions. It offers a broad range of food safety testing solutions that support multiple industries within food and beverage, helping producers to prevent and protect consumers from foodborne illnesses. The business has a broad global presence with products used in more than 60 countries and a diversified revenue base of more than 100,000 end-user customers. The combination of Neogen and 3M’s Food Safety business creates a leading innovator with an enhanced geographic footprint, innovative product offerings, digitization capabilities, and financial flexibility to capitalize on robust growth trends in sustainability, food safety, and supply chain integrity.
This transaction is a business combination and will be accounted for using the acquisition method. The purchase price of 3M’s Food Safety business will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value at the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs related to the transaction will be expensed as incurred. We are currently preparing the valuations and other procedures necessary to determine the purchase price allocation and will record our initial fair value estimates and the results of operations of the acquired business from the acquisition date forward in our condensed consolidated financial statement for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

10. 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. We expense these annual costs of remediation, which have ranged from $38,000 to $57,000$131,000 per year over the past five years. The Company’s estimated remaining liability for these costs was $916,000 at February 28, 2018both August 31, 2022 and May 31, 2017,2022, 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 agreed to a pilot study in which chemical reagents are injected into the ground in an attempt to reduce
on-site
contamination and is currently working with its consultant to design the system. 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 $100,000 as a current liability, and the remaining $816,000 is recorded within current liabilities and the remainder is recorded withinin other
non-current
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

sheets.

On March 6, 2020, the Company received an administrative subpoena from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regarding activities or transactions involving parties located in Iran. The Company subsequently conducted an internal investigation under the direction of outside legal counsel and disclosed information concerning certain genomic testing services provided to an unrelated U.S.-based party engaged in veterinary activities involving an Iranian party. The Company continues to cooperate with OFAC’s investigation and is currently examining whether certain of these activities may be eligible for OFAC General Licenses authorizing agricultural and veterinary activities.
In addition to responding to the administrative subpoena, the Company has implemented additional compliance measures to prevent inadvertent dealings with restricted countries or parties. These measures will further enhance the Company’s international trade compliance program, which is designed to assure that the Company does not conduct business directly or indirectly with any countries or parties subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export control laws. Although it is too early to predict what action, if any, that OFAC will take, the Company does not currently have any reason to believe that OFAC’s pending investigation will have a material impact on its operations, the results of operations for any future period, or its overall financial condition. In fiscal 2020, the Company took a charge to expense and recorded a reserve of $600,000 to provide for potential fines or penalties on this matter. At this time, the Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this issue. 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.

11. DERIVATIVES
We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To reduce the potential effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements on net earnings, we enter into derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange forward contracts with major financial institutions.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains both historical financial information and forward-looking statements. Neogen does not provide forecasts of future financial performance. While management is optimistic about the Company’s long-term prospects, historical financial information may not be indicative of future financial results.

Safe Harbor and Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are made throughout this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
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. There are a number of important factors, including competition, recruitment and dependence on key employees, impact of weather on agriculture and food production, effects of the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic on our business, global business disruption caused by the Russia invasion in Ukraine and related sanctions, identification and integration of acquisitions, research and development risks, patent and trade secret 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.”

Critical Accounting Policies

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
During fiscal 2022 and Estimates

The discussionthe first quarter of fiscal 2023, we have experienced higher than expected input cost inflation, including higher transportation, supply chain and analysislabor costs, that negatively impacted operating results. Pricing actions taken during fiscal 2022 and the first quarter of fiscal 2023 mitigated some, but not all, of the Company’sinflationary pressures. Ongoing inflation may also have an impact on our customer’s purchasing decisions and order patterns. We estimate inflation will continue to affect us in the remainder of fiscal 2023, although at this time it is impracticable to quantify the impact.

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 on the global economy. To date, our European operations and customer base have not been materially impacted by the conflict, however, as the conflict continues or worsens, it may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations in the remainder of fiscal 2023.
As we continue to monitor the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, our top priority remains protecting the health and safety of our employees, their families, and those in our communities. Safety guidelines and procedures have been developed for
on-site
employees and these policies are regularly monitored and updated by our internal Emergency Response Team.
COVID-19
continues to impact our business operations and financial results. A number of our product lines have been negatively impacted due to decreased demand in our customers’ businesses around the world. Many of our markets are recovering, but the pandemic has continued to adversely impact our customers and ultimately, our revenues. We have also experienced supply chain difficulties including vendor disruptions, border closures, shipping issues and significantly increased shipping costs; labor shortages and higher labor costs, as we have had to use staffing agencies and increase our base pay in a number of areas of the Company to fill open positions and to cover for COVID-related absences, and restricted travel, which hinders our ability to connect with customers.
Overall, the impact of
COVID-19
remains uncertain and ultimately depends on the length and severity of the pandemic, inclusive of the introduction of new strains of the virus; government actions taken in response; vaccination rates and effectiveness; the impact of vaccination requirements; extent of protection provided by prior viral infection; and the macroeconomic environment. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent to which
COVID-19
has impacted our business, supply chain, including labor availability and attrition, consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and resultsliquidity; we expect it to continue to impact us through at least the end of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates, including, but not limited to, those 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, 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.

There were no significant changes to the contractual obligations or contingent liabilities and commitments disclosed 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 theour fiscal year ending May 31, 2018 using a blended Federal Tax Rate2023.

As of February 28, 2018, the CompanyGenetic Veterinary Sciences (December 2021).

Net income was able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and recorded that estimate 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.

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, each compared to the same periods in the prior year; for each period, increases were driven by strength in genomics services and animal safety products. Revenues for Neogen India declined 37% for the quarter, as a large cleaner and disinfectant order in the prior year’s third quarter did not repeat; for the year to date, revenues were flat, as higher sales of 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.

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 recur25% in the next 12 months. The increase in sales was partially offset by terminationfirst quarter of a distribution agreement in January 2017, which resulted in a decline in sales for those distributed products of $143,000 in the third quarter and $859,000 for the yearfiscal 2023 compared to date.

Genomics Services revenue recorded in the Food Safety segment increased 46% and 40% for the three and nine month periods, respectively, due primarily to growth of these services in Europe.

The Company has increased volumes of forensic test kits sold to commercial labs in the U.S.

Veterinary Instruments & Disposables revenues increased 6% and 12% for the three and nine month periods, respectively. For both periods, the increase is primarily the result of strength in detectable needles, syringes and animal marking products. Sales of Animal Care & Other products increased 19% in the quarter ended February 28, 2018, compared to the same period in the prior year; the year to date increase was 12%. The increase in the current year is due to market share gains of supplements for companion animals 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.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $56.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $38.3 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Legal, consulting and other professional fees and expenses totaling $13.7 million were incurred in the first quarter of the current fiscal year related to our combination with 3M’s Food Safety business, which closed on September 1, 2022. Excluding costs related to the transaction, run rate operating expenses for the first quarter were $42.5 million, an increase of 11% compared to the prior year. Operating expenses for businesses acquired in the past year totaled $2.1 million and represented 50% of the increase for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Sales and marketing expenses were $23.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $20.6 million in last year’s first quarter, an increase of 14%. The increase in expense was driven by higher personnel related spending, the result of headcount additions and compensation increases. In addition, travel, trade shows and other customer facing activities increased significantly, as the prior year first quarter was affected by global
COVID-19
restrictions. Shipping expense increased 10% 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 kitsprimarily due to a prior year outbreak of DON in corn cropsrate increases and fuel surcharges from both small package and truckload shippers.

After adjusting for these deal-related expenses, first quarter run rate general and administrative expenses were $14.2 million, an increase of $829,000, or 6%. The increase was primarily the result of incremental expense from acquisitions, including amortization, stock based compensation grants, and license fees relating to information technology infrastructure and software investments.
Research and development expense was $4.9 million in the currentfirst quarter of fiscal year. Gross margin for the nine month period ended February 28, 2018 was 48.0%2023, an increase of $557,000, or 13%, compared to 47.6%the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of external costs for testing and validation for new commercial products in the Animal Safety segment, and to a lesser extent, compensation and other personnel related increases.
Operating Income
Operating income was $6.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $21.7 million in the same period of the prior year.

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 based compensation expense resulting from forfeitures due to employee retirements and reduced legal expenses. In last year’s third quarter, 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.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.5 million, an effective tax rate of 21.8%, compared to $4.7 million, an effective tax rate of 21.4%, in the same period of the prior year. For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the primary difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective rates recorded is the impact of higher tax rates in international countries we do business in, and also state taxes. In both periods, there was minimal benefit from the exercise of stock options.
Net Income
Net income was $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $17.1 million in the same period in the prior year. The decline in earnings for the quarter was primarily the result of higher gross margins offset somewhat by operating$13.7 million in legal, consulting, professional fees and other expenses which rose more thanfrom the 3M Food Safety transaction. Excluding those charges and adjusting to the effective tax rate, net income was $15.9 million.
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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. 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 overall revenue increase. ForCompany, and because these

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 nine months ended February 28, 2018,Company operates in.
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 was $50.3 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 10%, compared to operating income of $45.9 milliontaxes). EBITDA also forms the basis for the same period last year. Expressedmeasurement of Adjusted EBITDA (discussed below).
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted for stock-based compensation and certain transaction fees and expenses. We present EBITDA because it provides an understanding of underlying business performance by excluding the following:
Stock-based compensation
. We believe it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation to better understand the long-term performance of the respective core businesses and to facilitate comparison with the results of peer companies.
Certain transaction fees and expenses.
We exclude fees and expenses related to certain transactions because they are outside of Neogen’s underlying core performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin
We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, yeartotal revenues. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin as a performance measure to dateanalyze the level of Adjusted EBITDA generated from total revenue.

Last year’s fiscal third quarter included a gain on the settlement of a licensing agreement of $660,000, currency gains of $442,000,EBITDA 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%.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6% 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.
