Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, goodwill of $391.7 million was recorded in connection with the Paige Acquisition, Ambry Acquisition, and Deep 6 Acquisition. Measurement period adjustments of $5.1 million were recorded related to these acquisitions. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, goodwill of $142.4 million was recorded in connection with the Paige Acquisition. Measurement period adjustments of $1.2 million was recorded in connection with the Paige Acquisition. The Company recorded no impairment loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets consist of a website domain, customer relationships, trade names, developed technology acquired as part of a business combination, and licensed data acquired by entering into research collaboration agreements. In each license arrangement, the other party provides the Company with specified data, which is used for research and development purposes and may also be licensed to third parties. The asset represents the Company’s right to use these datasets. The Company also recognizes a liability for the associated minimum payments that are presented within Accrued data licensing fees on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

There were no impairment charges recognized related to intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The following table summarizes intangible assets as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Capitalized software

Capitalized software consists of internal-use software costs and software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, which are initially recorded at cost. The Company adopted ASU 2025-06 on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 2 for further detail. Amortization of internal-use capitalized software is recognized using the straight-line method when placed into service over the estimated useful life of the software, which is typically three to five years. Amortization expense of internal-use capitalized software was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense. No amortization expense of external-use software has been recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 as the external-use software is not ready for general release to customers. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the unamortized external-use software was $13.7 million and $0 million, respectively.
