| Assets Held for Sale and Divestiture | 4. Assets Held for Sale and Divestiture In June 2025, the Company announced plans to sell its global genomics business as part of an initiative to divest non-core assets. The genomics business and associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of November 30, 2025. The Company determined that fair value less cost to sell exceeded the carrying value. Therefore, no impairment charge was recognized. The planned divestiture did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. On March 2, 2026, Neogen Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Genomics business to Zoetis Inc., a global animal health company, for $160.0 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and the parties continue to work toward a closing by the end of the first half of fiscal year 2027. In July 2026, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the New Zealand Commerce Commission (NZCC) each announced that they are moving their respective reviews of the Company’s proposed genomics divestiture into the second phase of review. The major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale of the Genomics business were as follows:
Cleaners and Disinfectants
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we completed the sale of the Cleaners and Disinfectants ("C&D") business to Kersia Group ("Kersia"). We received total consideration of $121.7 million in cash at closing, net of cash divested, plus additional contingent consideration of up to $3.5 million (the “Earnout Payment”) based on revenue performance of the divested business during the 12-month period following the closing date. The Earnout Payment is subject to reduction if certain revenue thresholds, as defined in the purchase agreement, are not achieved. During the three months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized a gain on the sale of the business of $76.4 million, which is included in “Gain on sale of business” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, at closing, we also entered into transition service and transition distribution agreements with Kersia, which require us to provide services to Kersia during the transition period. Related to the transition distribution agreements, for performance obligations for which we act as an agent, we record revenue as the net amount of our gross billings less amounts remitted to Kersia. For performance obligations for which we act as principal, we record the gross amount billed to the customer as revenue. We recorded a liability representing the fair value of the services we expect to provide of $1.7 million within other current liabilities related to these agreements, which will be expensed to Other, net over a 12-month period following the closing date. Of this amount, $1.5 million was recognized as income during fiscal year 2026. |
