| Segments |
21. Segments The Company identifies two reportable segments, AxS and SCDE. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies. The operating segments sales to each other are eliminated. Effective May 1, 2025, segment adjusted EBITDA is the measure of profitability used by the CODM for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing performance. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization and adjusted for the impact of certain other non-cash items, including goodwill impairment, amortization of implementation of cloud computing arrangements, stock-based compensation, other purchase accounting adjustments, and cash items including acquisition related expenses and certain one-time non-operating expense or income such as legal expense. | | | | | | | | | | | | Year Ended April 30, 2026 | | | AxS | | SCDE | | Total | Revenue: | | | | | | | | | | Product sales | | $ | 1,142,762 | | $ | 272,587 | | $ | 1,415,349 | Contract services | | | 215,315 | | | 346,181 | | | 561,496 | | | | 1,358,077 | | | 618,768 | | | 1,976,845 | Less: | | | | | | | | | | Cost of sales less intangible amortization and other purchase accounting adjustments | | | 837,367 | | | 546,127 | | | 1,383,494 | Intangible amortization included in cost of sales | | | 48,901 | | | 43,808 | | | 92,709 | SG&A less intangible amortization | | | 208,673 | | | 104,147 | | | 312,820 | Intangible amortization included in SG&A | | | 41,688 | | | 88,743 | | | 130,431 | Research and development | | | 113,063 | | | 14,615 | | | 127,678 | Impairment of goodwill | | | — | | | 240,708 | | | 240,708 | Other expense (income) | | | (7,547) | | | (3,439) | | | (10,986) | Add: | | | | | | | | | | Depreciation | | | 28,848 | | | 13,049 | | | 41,897 | Amortization | | | 90,589 | | | 132,551 | | | 223,140 | Impairment of goodwill | | | — | | | 240,708 | | | 240,708 | Acquisition-related expenses | | | 29,782 | | | 18,388 | | | 48,170 | Amortization of cloud computing arrangement implementation | | | 5,522 | | | 14 | | | 5,536 | Equity securities investments activity, net | | | (9,941) | | | (1,779) | | | (11,720) | Stock-based compensation | | | 27,920 | | | 10,414 | | | 38,334 | Segment adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 288,652 | | $ | (2,596) | | $ | 286,056 |
