RESTRUCTURING
NOTE 5. RESTRUCTURING
2025 Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2025, we implemented an expense reduction initiative aimed at lowering our annualized run-rate operating expenses. These actions, which included workforce reductions and other cost-saving measures, were part of a broader strategic shift to prioritize the adoption of HiFi sequencing.
A summary of the pre-tax restructuring charges are as follows:
(In thousands)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026Cumulative amount incurred to date
Employee separation costs
$— $4,787 
Other costs— 1,076 
Total restructuring charges (1)
$— $5,863 
(1) Cumulative charges incurred to date include $3.8 million in sales, general and administrative expense and $2.1 million in research and development expense.
Charges included employee separation costs comprised of approximately $2.5 million related to salaries, wages and other employee benefits paid to terminated employees pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act and approximately $2.3 million of severance costs.
Charges included in other costs are primarily related to legal expenses incurred in connection with employee separation matters.
In connection with the restructuring and strategic shift, we incurred an additional $389.9 million in costs. These include $359.3 million of accelerated amortization of certain intangible assets, $15.0 million of IPR&D impairment charges, $8.1 million related to excess inventory due to decreased external demand and $3.9 million for estimated losses on purchase commitments tied to anticipated future excess inventory included in cost of revenue, and $3.1 million of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. See Note 3. Balance Sheet Components for additional information on the IPR&D impairment assessment and the change in estimated useful life of the intangible asset and accelerated amortization.

2024 Restructuring
In the second quarter of 2024, we implemented an expense reduction initiative that included workforce reductions, the closing of our San Diego office, and other actions to reduce annualized run-rate operating expenses. We recognized approximately $1 million of expense related to the 2024 restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2026. See Note 6 – Restructuring in Part II, Item 8 of the 2025 Annual Report for information regarding the 2024 restructuring initiative.
