Molecular Assemblies
On January 23, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of assets from Molecular Assemblies, Inc. (“Molecular”) expanding TriLink Biotechnologies, LLC’s (“TriLink”) ability to enable customers to develop next-generation mRNA and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats nucleic acid-based therapies. The acquisition will complement the Company’s product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities. The acquisition will vertically integrate the Company’s supply chain and expand its product offerings for inputs used in the development of therapeutics and vaccines.
The Company acquired assets from Molecular for a total purchase consideration of $11.2 million. The total cash consideration of $9.2 million was paid using existing cash on hand. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business as the assets acquired from Molecular consisted of multiple types of long-lived assets, as well as inputs and processes applied to those inputs that had the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in transaction costs associated with the acquisition of assets from Molecular, which were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred to acquire the assets from Molecular consisted of the following (in thousands):
Cash paid$9,212 
Consideration payable
2,000 
Total consideration transferred$11,212 
Pursuant to the Molecular Assemblies Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Molecular APA”), the Company maintained an indemnity and adjustment holdback of $2.0 million for the purpose of providing security against any adjustments to the amounts at closing, which has been recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025. The indemnity holdback period extends to the later of six months from the closing date or when Molecular meets certain conditions, as defined in the Molecular APA, related to the wind down of Molecular.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):
Inventory$156 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets138 
Property and equipment, net4,570 
Intangible assets, net3,200 
Total identifiable assets acquired8,064 
Accounts payable(288)
Total liabilities assumed(288)
Net identifiable assets acquired7,776 
Goodwill3,436 
Net assets acquired$11,212 
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and therefore, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Purchase consideration in excess of the amounts recognized for the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expanded synergies expected from the acquisition associated with vertical supply integration. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition of Molecular was allocated to the Company’s Nucleic Acid Production segment. All of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired from Molecular as of the date of acquisition and their estimated useful life:
Estimated Fair Value
(in thousands)
Estimated Useful Life
(in years)
Developed technology$3,200 13
The developed technology intangible asset is related to its patented manufacturing process capability to both synthesize enzyme oligonucleotides and achieve quality standards. The fair value of the intangible asset was based on projected revenues for the acquired assets and was estimated using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method for developed technology. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The estimated fair value was developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return utilizing Level 3 inputs. The useful lives for these intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining period for which the assets were expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Key quantitative assumptions used in the determination of fair value of the developed technology intangible included revenue growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 118.1%, a discount rate of 11.5%, and an assumed technical obsolescent curve of 5.0%.
The fair value of equipment was based on both cost and market approaches utilizing Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of the remaining assets acquired or liabilities assumed was estimated to equal their fair values based on their short-term nature. These estimates were based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue and earnings from the assets acquired from Molecular included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition were immaterial.
No proforma revenue or earnings information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 has been presented as the impact was determined not to be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated revenues and net loss for the respective periods.
Officinae Bio
On February 21, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the DNA and RNA business of Officinae Bio (“Officinae”), a privately held technology company with a proprietary digital platform designed with artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to support the biological design of therapeutics. The acquisition will complement the Company’s product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities by assisting TriLink customers to design and purchase the Company’s products.
The Company acquired Officinae for a total purchase consideration of $15.1 million. The total cash consideration of $9.9 million was paid using existing cash on hand. As a result of the acquisition, we own all the outstanding interest in Officinae. The transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business as Officinae consisted of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that had the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Officinae, which were recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred to acquire Officinae consisted of the following (in thousands):
Cash paid$9,930 
Fair value of contingent consideration4,800 
Consideration payable
331 
Total consideration transferred$15,061 
Pursuant to the Officinae Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Officinae SPA”) between the Company and sellers of Officinae, additional payments to the sellers of Officinae are dependent upon certain milestones and meeting or exceeding defined revenue targets through December 31, 2028 (the “Officinae Contingent Consideration”). The Officinae SPA provides for a total maximum Officinae Contingent Consideration of $35.0 million, with $5.0 million of such contingent consideration payable in cash upon the achievement of a certain integration milestone (the “Milestone Consideration”) and up to an additional $30.0 million payable in a mix of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, such mix to be mutually agreed at the time of any payout, upon the achievement of certain revenue and license milestones (the “Earnout Considerations”). The Milestone Consideration was recorded as contingent consideration and was included as part of the purchase consideration. The acquisition date estimated fair value for the Milestone Consideration of $4.8 million was developed at a 100.0% probability of achievement and by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at a discount rate of 7.3%, which is a Level 3 input (see Note 4). The Earnout Considerations had no probability of achievement at the acquisition date and at June 30, 2025, the value was not measurable.
Upon closing of the acquisition, the Company deferred $0.3 million of the purchase price to cover potential working capital adjustments. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, this amount was fully paid.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and therefore, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. Purchase consideration in excess of the amounts recognized for the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expanded synergies expected from the acquisition associated with integrating Officinae’s technology platform and manufacturing processes with the Company’s product offerings and assembled workforce. All of the goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition of Officinae was allocated to the Company’s Nucleic Acid Production segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of Officinae’s identifiable intangible assets as of the date of acquisition and their estimated useful lives:
Estimated Fair Value
(in thousands)
Estimated Useful Life
(in years)
Developed technology$8,100 8
Customer relationships80 6
Total$8,180 
The customer relationships intangible assets are related to Officinae’s customer loyalty and customer relationships. The developed technology intangible asset is related to Officinae’s proprietary design and e-commerce platform to support the biological design of therapeutics and its unique manufacturing process optimizations. The fair value of these intangible assets was based on Officinae’s projected revenues and revenues for orders placed using the platform, and was estimated using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method for developed technology and the distributor method for customer relationships. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. The estimated fair value was developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return utilizing Level 3 inputs. The useful lives for these intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining period for which the assets were expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Key quantitative assumptions used in the determination of fair value of the developed technology intangible included revenue growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 89.3%, a discount rate of 19.0%, and a technical obsolescent curve of 5.0% in the first five years and 10.0% thereafter.
The carrying value of the remaining assets acquired or liabilities assumed was estimated to equal their fair values based on their short-term nature. These estimates were based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue and earnings from Officinae included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition were immaterial.
No proforma revenue or earnings information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 has been presented as the impact was determined not to be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated revenues and net loss for the respective periods.
