Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations Azenta, Inc. (“Azenta”, or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of biological and chemical compound sample exploration and management solutions for the life sciences industry. The Company entered the life sciences market in 2011, leveraging its in-house precision automation and cryogenics capabilities that it was then applying in the semiconductor manufacturing market. This led the Company to develop and provide solutions for automated ultra-cold storage. Since then, the Company has expanded its life sciences offerings through internal investments and a series of acquisitions. The Company supports its customers from research and clinical development to commercialization with its sample management and automated storage, as well as genomic services expertise to help its customers bring impactful therapies to market faster. The Company understands the importance of sample integrity and offers a broad portfolio of products and services supporting customers at every stage of the life cycle of samples, including procurement, automated storage systems, genomic services and a multitude of sample consumables, informatics and data software, and sample repository services. The Company’s expertise, global footprint, and leadership positions enable it to be a trusted global partner to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences research institutions. Discontinued Operations During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, following approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company publicly announced its plan to sell the B Medical Systems business. The B Medical Systems business operates as a separate business unit within the Company and focuses on the manufacturing and distribution of temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions in international markets to governments, health institutions, and non-government organizations. On December 23, 2025, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement (“Share Purchase Agreement”) with Thelema S.À R.L. (“Thelema”) for the sale of the B Medical Systems business. In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement, Thelema is acquiring the B Medical Systems business for $63.0 million. Thelema has deposited $9.0 million with the Company and was expected to pay the remaining $54.0 million on or before March 31, 2026. On March 27, 2026, the Company was informed by Thelema that it had not yet secured the financing required to complete the transaction and, solely as a result of the non‑satisfaction of that financing condition, the transaction did not close by March 31, 2026. Thelema indicated that it requires additional time to complete its financing arrangements. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including Thelema’s securing of the required financing, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed on a revised timeline or at all. As of the issuance date of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Share Purchase Agreement remains in effect and has not been amended. The Company remains committed to the plan and is actively working toward closing the transaction. The Company determined that the B Medical Systems business met the “held for sale” criteria and “discontinued operations” criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (“FASB ASC 205”) as of November 12, 2024. Results related to the B Medical Systems business are included within discontinued operations. Please refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations for further information about the discontinued business. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, have been reclassified for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of the B Medical Systems business in accordance with FASB ASC 205. The discussion in these notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated, relate solely to the Company’s continuing operations. Also included in discontinued operations is a loss contingency related to the Company's sale of the semiconductor cryogenics business to Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) in July 2019.
