概述
Repligen Corporation是一家全球生命科學公司,開發和商業化高度創新的生物加工技術和系統,以提高生物藥物生產過程的效率和靈活性。
隨着生物製品整體市場的持續增長和擴大,我們的主要客戶--全球生物製藥公司、合同開發和製造組織以及其他生命科學公司(集成商)--面臨着關鍵的生產成本、產能、質量和時間壓力。我們的產品旨在解決這些問題,有助於爲生物製品的生產方式制定新標準。作爲關鍵生物藥物(包括單克隆抗體(「mAbs」)和單克隆抗體衍生物、重組蛋白、疫苗以及細胞和基因療法(「C>」)生產的值得信賴的合作伙伴,我們致力於推動生物加工的進步,這些藥物正在改善全球人類健康。我們的技術越來越多地被實施,以克服處理載體DNA(生產mRNA的起始材料)和基因遞送載體(例如慢病毒和腺相關病毒載體)方面的挑戰。
我們目前作爲一家生物加工企業運營,擁有一套全面的產品,爲生物藥物製造的上下游流程提供服務。 基於40多年的行業專業知識,我們開發了廣泛且多元化的產品組合,反映了我們對創新的熱情和推動整個組織的客戶至上文化。我們繼續利用機會,通過有機增長計劃(內部創新和商業槓桿)和有針對性的收購來最大限度地提高我們產品平台的價值。
我們的公司總部位於馬薩諸塞州沃爾瑟姆,在全球範圍內設有額外的行政和製造業務。我們的19個製造基地和裝配中心大部分位於美國(加利福尼亞州、馬薩諸塞州、新罕布什爾州、新澤西州、紐約州和德克薩斯州)。在美國以外,我們在愛沙尼亞、法國、德國、愛爾蘭、荷蘭和瑞典都設有站點。我們的主要倉庫和配送中心位於馬薩諸塞州和加利福尼亞州。
我們的產品
我們的生物加工業務由四個主要特許經營權組成:過濾(包括流體管理);層析;過程分析;和蛋白質。
自2012年以來,我們特意在這些特許經營權下建立了高度多元化的產品組合,通過內部研發(「R & D」)計劃和戰略收購,開發高價值技術,爲我們的客戶提供更高效的藥物製造流程。我們致力於可持續創新,並贏得了生物加工領域創新領導者的聲譽。我們不斷推出顛覆性的新產品,以解決客戶面臨的特定生物加工挑戰。我們的增長戰略繼續擴大我們的地理範圍和客戶群,並擴大我們技術的應用。
爲了支持我們這些產品的銷售目標,我們對商業組織、研發計劃、業務系統和製造能力進行持續投資。我們根據需要定期評估和投資這些領域,以確保及時交付並領先於客戶對我們產品的需求。
2
與相關硬件和設備相比,我們的大部分收入來自消耗品和/或單一活動(「一次性」)產品銷售。這些產品的定製性、可擴展性和即插即用的便利性,以及在許多情況下我們技術的封閉性,使它們非常適合用於污染風險是我們客戶最關心的生物製品製造過程。
轉向集成解決方案
自2012年以來,我們已完成了四個特許經營權的13項收購,建立了一個技術資產基礎,我們可以通過內部研發團隊改進和/或開發下一代版本。我們的收購策略是有目的的,考慮了與我們內部開發的技術以及跨產品和特許經營權整合的潛力。
2023年,我們併購和研發工作的結果反映在我們爲整個生物生產工作流程提供更集成的解決方案的能力上。我們的商業方法正在從「單個產品」轉向「全系統」銷售,可以支持整個單元運營、單元運營之間的液體管理以及在線高級分析。例如,爲生產和收穫步驟(上游)提供過濾系統,並將這些系統連接到用於純化和配製步驟(下游)的層析和過濾系統。
我們每個特許經營權內的關鍵產品
過濾
過濾是我們最大的特許經營權,提供最廣泛的產品,涵蓋上游和下游技術。以下是我們一些關鍵產品的描述:
XCell ATF®細胞保留系統
我們的過濾產品爲生物藥物製造商提供了許多優勢,並用於工藝開發和工藝規模(臨床和商業)生產。我們的XCell ATF系統用於上游灌流(連續)和N-1(強化補料分批或混合灌流)細胞培養處理。
XCell ATF是一種細胞保留技術。該系統由先進的中空纖維(「HF」)過濾裝置、低剪切泵和控制器組成。XCell ATF系統連接到生物反應器,使細胞培養能夠連續運行,細胞被保留在生物反應器中,新鮮營養物(細胞培養基)被連續注入反應器,澄清的生物產品和細胞廢物被連續去除(收穫)。細胞維持在一致的營養豐富的環境中,細胞密度可以比標準補料分批培養高出兩倍和三倍。結果,產品產率增加,這提高了設施利用率,並可以縮小生產給定體積生物藥物產品所需的生物反應器的尺寸。XCell ATF系統有多種尺寸,可以輕鬆地從實驗室使用擴展到大至5,000升生物反應器的全面生產。
通過內部創新,我們開發並推出了一次性規格的原始不鏽鋼XATF Cell設備,以通過「即插即用」技術滿足行業對一次性無菌系統日益增長的需求。XCell ATF設備現已向客戶提供所有尺寸(2、4、6和10)的原始配置(鋼外殼和一次性過濾器)和/或大多數尺寸(2、6和10)的一次性設備(一次性外殼/過濾器組合)。XCell ATF技術以一次性形式的可用性通過消除與高壓滅菌相關的時間密集型工作流程來縮短實施時間,並使我們的客戶能夠以較低的初始總體擁有成本加速產品評估。
In 2023, we introduced next-generation XCell® Large-Scale controllers, enabling increased process intensification through dual-operation of ATF devices from a single controller, and through advance monitoring and control of flow rates with smart sensor
3
technology. Our ATF large-scale controllers are designed for scalability from bench top to commercial manufacturing, and for versatility of applications, including perfusion and modified fed-batch (N-1) manufacturing.
Tangential Flow Filtration Consumables
Our TangenX® product portfolio includes flat sheet (“FS”) tangential flow filtration (“TFF”) cassettes that are used primarily in downstream, ultrafiltration processes, e.g., biologic drug concentration, buffer exchange and formulation processes, our single-use SIUS® line, including our reusable PRO line of cassettes, providing customers with a high-performance, cost saving alternative to other companies' TFF cassette offerings and our TangenX SC Device, the industry's first holder-free, self-contained (“SC”) TFF device, which was launched in November 2023.
TFF is a rapid and efficient method for the concentration and formulation of biomolecules that is widely used in many applications in biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Our TangenX FS TFF cassettes feature high performing-membrane chemistries that offer superior selectivity for a wide range of applications. A controlled manufacturing process that balances flux and selectivity delivers maximum flux for increased productivity and tight control of the membrane pore size for enhanced selectivity and recovery. Each single-use cassette is delivered pre-sanitized and ready to be equilibrated and used for tangential flow, ultrafiltration and diafiltration applications.
Use of SIUS TFF cassettes eliminates non-value-added steps (cleaning, testing between uses, storage and flushing) that are required with reusable TFF products, providing cost and time savings. For process economics requiring reusable cassettes, TangenX PRO cassettes are available with the same high performance membranes used in SIUS cassettes. Our TangenX cassettes are interchangeable with filter hardware from multiple manufacturers, simplifying customer trial and adoption. In 2020, we introduced SIUS Gamma single-use device, which we engineered to harness the performance and efficiencies of TangenX SIUS membranes and cassettes, while also providing the convenience of a fully assembled, aseptically closed and gamma-irradiated, sterile device. The device is delivered as a single unit composed of the cassette, fluid manifold, clamps, tubing and aseptic connectors. The SIUS Gamma device is ideal for adenovirus C> and other processes where large volumes need to be concentrated in a sterile, closed environment.
Our TangenX® SC Device simplifies and streamlines downstream flat sheet UF/DF processes by reducing set up time by 80%, eliminating holders and torquing requirements which reduces the risk of product loss caused by changes in compression or cassette misalignment during installation, allowing users to seamlessly transition from traditional cassettes and reducing bioburden risk and enhancing safety because it is aseptically closed and gamma irradiated and isolates operators from potentially hazardous materials.
Tangential Flow Filtration Systems: KrosFlo® TFF
Our KrosFlo systems for TFF combine significant configurability with premium quality manufacturing. Our TFF systems are designed for scalability from small to large (up to 5,000 liters) volumes, flexibility between HF and FS filter formats, and the ability to use the same system in different unit operations while deploying ready-to-use application-specific flow paths.
Our KrosFlo TFF systems are turnkey solutions for TFF, offered with either TangenX FS cassettes or with our HF filters.
KrosFlo® Flat Sheet TFF Systems
Our 2020 acquisition of ARTeSYN Biosolutions Holdings Ireland Limited (“ARTeSYN”) enabled us to develop and market KrosFlo RS TFF systems that integrate our consumable and equipment offering, providing greater convenience and efficiency for our customers.
We launched our KrosFlo RS 20 series systems in 2022, focusing their use in mRNA and C> therapy applications, where they are used primarily in downstream formulation. These responsive TFF systems completely automate sanitization, concentration and product recovery processes. The combination of injection molded tubing, over-molded connectors and valve blocks significantly lowers product hold-up volume to maximize product recovery. With the same software, hardware, controls and cGMP compliance built into every system, and with pre-assembled flow kits for error-free installation, the KrosFlo RS platform offers operational
4
simplicity that can easily be scalable from lab- through production-scale use. KrosFlo FS systems integrate over 10 components with specifications to process volumes between 140 milliliters and 500 liters.
KrosFlo® Hollow Fiber TFF Systems
Our filtration business is strengthened by a leading portfolio of Spectrum® HF filtration solutions, including fully integrated KrosFlo TFF systems with Konduit automated process monitoring and ProConnex® Flow Path single-use assemblies. The KrosFlo family of HF TFF systems integrate multiple components with specifications to process volume between 2 milliliters and 5,000 liters – from lab-scale through commercial manufacturing.
In early 2023 we introduced our RS 30 series of KrosFlo TFF systems, featuring increased automation capabilities. The RS 30 series systems integrate a single-use tulip tank re-circulation vessel, which allows for dynamic control and response to changing fluid levels for maximum product recovery in fed-batch, batch concentration and diafiltration processes. The cGMP compliant, fully automated 1/2 inch single-use TFF system delivers outstanding performance in a small footprint. In alignment with our integrated systems strategy, the system includes ProConnex flow paths to integrate advanced fluid management technologies including overmolded connections, pump heads, tubing filters and sensors in a single-use device. Flow paths easily attach to the system to simplify operation and increase process efficiency.
Tangential Flow Depth Filtration Systems: KrosFlo® TFDF®
We believe our KrosFlo Tangential Flow Depth Filtration (“TFDF”) systems, have the potential to disrupt and displace traditional upstream harvest clarification operations. The KrosFlo TFDF system includes control hardware, novel high throughput tubular depth filters and ProConnex TFDF flow paths. When used for cell culture clarification, single-use KrosFlo TFDF technology delivers unprecedented high flux (>1,000 LMH), high capacity, low turbidity, and minimal dilution, making the technology a high-performance alternative to traditional centrifugation and depth filtration approaches to harvest clarification. TFDF technology also provides benefits such as low hold-up volume, high recovery, small footprint, simple set up and disposal, scalability and reduced process time.
Strengthening our Filtration Franchise through Acquisitions
With our acquisition of Polymem S.A. (“Polymem”) on July 1, 2021, we further expanded our HF membrane and module production capabilities and added core R&D, engineering and production expertise in HF technology for both industrial and bioprocessing markets. The Polymem business complements our Spectrum HF product line, which includes KrosFlo HF TFF systems and ProConnex fluid management. The acquisition of Polymem accelerated our HF manufacturing buildout and added a Europe-based HF manufacturing center of excellence.
With our acquisition of BioFlex Solutions LLC (“BioFlex”) and Newton T&M Corp. (“NTM”) on December 16, 2021, we complemented and expanded our filtration franchise, as both BioFlex and NTM focus on single-use fluid management components, including single-use clamps, adapters, end caps and hose assemblies. These products are essential components in our upstream and downstream product offerings – especially our systems with line-sets and flow paths. These acquisitions streamline and increase our control over many components in our single-use supply chain, which ultimately should drive reduced lead-times for our customers in the coming years.
We acquired FlexBiosys, Inc. (“FlexBiosys”) on April 17, 2023, further complementing and expanding our fluid management portfolio of offerings with its expert design and custom manufacturing of single-use bioprocessing products and a comprehensive range of products that include bioprocessing bags, bottles, and tubing assemblies.
With our acquisition of Metenova Holding AB (“Metenova”) on October 2, 2023, we strengthened our fluid management portfolio with the addition of magnetic mixing and drive train technologies that are widely used by global biopharmaceutical companies and contract development and manufacturing organizations.
The growth of our filtration business has allowed us to substantially increase our direct sales presence in Europe and Asia and diversify our end markets to include all biologic classes, including mAbs, vaccines, recombinant proteins and C>.
5
CHROMATOGRAPHY
Our chromatography franchise includes a number of products used in downstream purification, development, manufacturing and quality control of biological drugs. The main driver of growth in this portfolio is our OPUS® pre-packed column (“PPC”) product line.
In addition to OPUS, with our acquisition of ARTeSYN in 2020, we added chromatography systems to our offerings, providing greater flexibility and market opportunity as we scale and expand our systems portfolio.
Additional chromatography products include our affinity capture resins, such as CaptivA® Protein A resins, which are used in a small number of commercial drug processes and our ELISA test kits, used by quality control departments to detect and measure the presence of leached Protein A and/or growth factor in the final product.
OPUS Pre-Packed Columns
Our chromatography franchise features a wide range of OPUS columns, which we deliver to our customers sealed and pre-packed with their choice of resin. These are single-use or campaign-use disposable columns that replace the use of customer-packed glass columns for downstream purification. By designing OPUS columns to be a technologically advanced and flexible option for the purification of biologics from process development through clinical and commercial-scale manufacturing, Repligen has become a leader in the PPC market. Our biomanufacturing customers value the significant cost savings that OPUS columns can deliver by reducing set up time, labor, equipment and facility costs – in addition to delivering product consistency and “plug-and-play” convenience.
We launched our first production scale OPUS columns in 2012 and have since added larger diameter options that scale up to use with 2,000 liter bioreactors. Our OPUS 80R column is the largest available PPC on the market for use in late-stage clinical or commercial purification processes. We offer unique features such as a resin recovery port on our larger columns, which allows our customers to remove and reuse the recovered resin in other applications. We believe the OPUS 5-80R product line is the most flexible product line available in the market, serving the purification needs of customers manufacturing mAbs and other biologics such as vaccines and C>.
In addition to our larger scale OPUS columns, our portfolio includes our smaller-scale OPUS columns, including our RoboColumn®, MiniChrom® and ValiChrom® columns used for process development (“PD”) and validation. These columns are used in high-throughput PD screening, viral clearance validation studies and scale down validation of chromatography processes.
We maintain customer-facing centers in both the United States and Europe for our OPUS column customers, and offer a premier ability to pack any of hundreds of chromatography capture resins available, as per our customers’ choice.
KRM™ Chromatography Systems
Through our acquisition of ARTeSYN in 2020, we gained state-of-the-art, configurable chromatography systems that can integrate a wide range of hardware, components and consumable products to simplify bioprocessing operations for our customers. Our KRM chromatography systems are precision engineered for high product recovery (low hold-up volumes), high bioactivity (less stress on the product of interest) and reduced risk of deviation (simple changeovers and pre-assembled flow kits). The KRM systems contain closed single-use flow paths (less risk of contamination and product loss) and other advanced fluid management technologies (over-molded connectors, pump heads, filters and pressure sensors), intuitive software and our process analytics technology enabled.
PROCESS ANALYTICS
Our process analytics products complement and support our filtration, chromatography and proteins franchises as they allow end-users to make at-line or in-line absorbance measurements allowing for the determination of protein concentration in filtration, chromatography formulation and fill-finish applications.
SoloVPE® Device
Our SoloVPE slope spectroscopy system is the industry standard for offline and at-line absorbance measurements for protein concentration determination in process development, manufacturing and quality control settings.
6
FlowVPE® Device
Our FlowVPE slope spectroscopy system enhances the power of slope spectroscopy and provides in-line protein concentration measurement for filtration, chromatography and fill-finish applications. A key benefit of this in-line solution is the ability to monitor a manufacturing process in real time.
FlowVPX® System
FlowVPX slope spectroscopy system is our next-generation FlowVPE launched at the beginning of 2021 and designed to meet the rigors of regulatory GMP requirements. FlowVPX offers reliable real-time results with integrated ease for concentration measurements during every stage of the downstream GMP-compliant production-scale biologics manufacturing.
Use of slope spectroscopy systems delivers multiple process benefits for our biopharmaceutical manufacturing customers, compared to traditional UV-Vis approaches. Key benefits include: the elimination of manual dilutions and sample transfers from process development/manufacturing to labs, rapid time to results (minutes versus hours), improved precision, built-in data quality for improved reporting and validation, and ease of use.
KrosFlo® RPM™ Systems with integrated FlowVPX® Technology
In 2022, we completed the development of a HF system that combines KrosFlo TFF with FlowVPX Real-Time Process Management (“RPM”®) technology, enabling “walk-away automation” of downstream UF/DF processes. Toward the end of 2022, we launched KrosFlo DR2i RPM for low-volume, high concentration applications. This was the first-to-market TFF system to incorporate real-time process monitoring for in-line protein concentration management. By coupling KrosFlo TFF and FlowVPX functionality, customers can benefit from improved process control and efficiency, while reducing process risk by ensuring accurate concentration throughout the TFF process.
KrosFlo RPM systems monitor concentration during UF/DF runs without having to depend on mass inputs and off-line fixed pathlength UV-Vis spectrophotometers. Risk is further mitigated with fully enclosed ProConnex custom flow paths as a part of the automated TFF process.
Since the debut of the KrosFlo KR2i RPM (2 mL-15L) system, we expanded the KrosFlo RPM offering, introducing KrosFlo FS-15 RPM (150mL-15L) toward the end of 2023. The portfolio continues to expand to cover a wide range of volumes from lab-to production-scale requirements. We believe KrosFlo RPM solutions provide key process insights to users to reduce cycling time and minimize batch risks, both highly value attributes for bioprocessing users.
Culpeo® QCL-IR Liquid Analyzer
Pursuant to a 15-year license agreement that we entered into with DRS Daylight Solutions, Inc. (“Daylight”) in September 2022, we obtained the exclusive right to use Daylight's quantum cascade laser technology (“QCL”), including its Culpeo® QCL-IR Liquid Analyzer (“Culpeo”) specifically in the field of bioprocessing. Culpeo is a compact, intelligent spectrometer that uses the power of QCL to analyze and identify chemicals. Our in-licensing of these rights complements our existing process analytics franchise. Adding mid-IR (higher sensitivity QCL-IR) to UV spectroscopy, we believe this will serve to accelerate and expand adoption of off-line and in-line process monitoring in the bioprocessing industry. Additionally, we are focused on expanding the QCL portfolio, with plans to integrate these solutions into our chromatography and filtration systems.
PROTEINS
Our proteins franchise is represented by our Protein A affinity ligands and viral vector affinity ligands and resins. Our proteins franchise also includes cell culture growth factor products, which are a key component of cell culture media used in upstream bioprocessing to increase cell density and improve product yield.
Protein A Affinity Ligands
We are a leading provider of Protein A affinity ligands to other life sciences companies (integrators), whose final products are Protein A resins. Protein A ligands are an essential “binding” component of Protein A affinity chromatography resins used in the purification of virtually all mAb-based drugs on the market or in development. We manufacture multiple forms of Protein A ligands under
7
long-term supply agreements with major life sciences companies including Cytiva (a standalone operating company owned by Danaher Corporation), MilliporeSigma and Purolite, an Ecolab Inc. company (“Purolite”), who in turn sell their Protein A chromatography resins to end users (mAb manufacturers). We have two manufacturing sites supporting overall global demand for our Protein A ligands: one in Lund, Sweden and the other in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Protein A chromatography resins are considered the industry “gold standard” for purification of antibody-based therapeutics due to the ability of the Protein A ligand to very selectively bind to or “capture” antibodies from crude protein mixtures. Protein A resins are packed into the first chromatography column of typically three columns used in a mAb purification process. As a result of Protein A’s high affinity for antibodies, the mAb product is highly purified and concentrated within this first capture step before moving to polishing steps.
Our Affinity Ligand Collaborations
In June 2018, we entered into an agreement with Navigo Proteins GmbH (“Navigo”) for the exclusive co-development of multiple affinity ligands for which Repligen holds commercialization rights. We manufacture and exclusively supply the first of these ligands, NGL-Impact® A, to Purolite, for use with their Praesto® Jetted A50 Protein A resin product.
In September 2021, the Company and Navigo successfully completed co-development of a novel affinity ligand that addresses aggregation issues associated with pH sensitive antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins. We are manufacturing and supplying this ligand, NGL-Impact® HipH, to Purolite for use in a platform use resin product.
We have a long-term supply agreement with Purolite for NGL-Impact and potential additional affinity ligands that may advance from our Navigo collaboration.
Our Purolite Agreement
In October 2022, we extended our long-term supply agreement with Purolite through 2032 and broadened its scope to include affinity ligands targeting antibody fragments in addition to those targeting mAbs and Fc-fusion proteins. This extension and product line expansion aligns with our Proteins strategy and supports the acceleration in market adoption of the Praesto® affinity resin portfolio. It provides Purolite with exclusive access to mAb fragment ligands developed at Avitide, Inc. (“Avitide”), in addition to the NGL portfolio developed at Navigo. Repligen will continue to receive access to Purolite's leading-edge base bead technology, as we proceed with the development and commercialization of novel affinity resins focused on new modalities and C>.
mAb Fragment Affinity Ligands and Resins from Avitide
Our acquisition of Avitide also led to our development and 2022 launch of AVIPure® CH1, a cross-linked agarose-based resin specifically engineered for the capture of the CH1 region of antigen-binding fragments (“Fabs”) from human immunoglobins (“IgGs”) and mAbs. We believe that the high dynamic binding capacity for Fab and IgG1 even at short residence times position these resins well for market success.
Adeno-Associated Virus Affinity Ligands and Resins from Avitide
In September 2021, we completed our strategic acquisition of Avitide, a market leader in affinity ligand discovery and development. This acquisition was a major step forward in building our proteins franchise, moving Repligen into affinity resin solutions for C> and other emerging modalities.
In February 2022, we launched three advanced affinity chromatography resins for use in gene therapy manufacturing workflows. The resins AVIPure®-AAV9; AVIPure®-AAV8; and AVIPure®-AAV2, were developed by Avitide and are specific to the major adeno-associated virus (“AAV”) C> vectors used today. AAV vectors are the leading platform for gene delivery for the treatment of a variety of human diseases. In 2023, a new affinity resin for AAV5 was also launched, expanding the portfolio.
We are integrating these high performance AVIPure® resins with our OPUS PPC and ARTeSYN chromatography systems to provide our customers with a seamless chromatography solution. Caustic stability has been a challenge that the AVIPure resins are designed to
8
overcome without sacrificing high dynamic binding capacity. We believe customers will benefit from superior process economics, including multi-cycle resin capabilities.
Growth Factors
Most biopharmaceuticals are produced through an upstream mammalian cell culture process. In order to stimulate increased cell growth and maximize overall yield from a bioreactor, manufacturers often add growth factors, such as insulin, to their cell culture media. Our cell culture growth factor additives include LONG® R3 IGF 1, our insulin-like growth factor that has been shown to be up to 100 times more biologically potent than insulin (the industry standard), thereby increasing recombinant protein production in cell culture fermentation applications.

Our Market Opportunity
Bioprocessing Addressable Market
The global addressable market for bioprocessing products is estimated to be approximately $20 billion of which we estimate Repligen’s addressable market to be approximately $12 billion at year end 2023. This market includes bioprocessing products used to manufacture therapeutic antibodies, recombinant proteins and vaccines, as well as C>s.
Monoclonal Antibody Market
Antibody-based biologics alone accounted for approximately $175 billion of global biopharma revenue in 2022. Industry sources project the mAbs market to grow in the range of approximately 10% to 12% annually through 2026, driven by new approvals and expanded clinical uses for marketed antibodies, as well as the emergence of biosimilar versions of originator mAbs. As of December 31, 2023, over 150 mAbs were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to treat a diverse range of diseases.
9
Biological R&D remains robust, with more than 2,000 active mAb clinical trials ongoing to address a wide range of medical conditions.
In addition to investments in the discovery and development of novel biologic drugs, there has been substantial investment in follow-on products (biosimilars) by generic and specialty pharmaceutical as well as large biopharmaceutical companies. Development of follow-on products accelerated as the first major mAbs came off patent in the European Union and United States. Due to the high cost of biologic drugs, many countries in developing and emerging markets have been aggressively investing in biomanufacturing capabilities to supply lower cost biosimilars for the local markets. For both originator and follow-on biologics manufacturing, Repligen products are well-positioned to enable greater manufacturing flexibility, production yields and lower costs through improved process efficiencies.
Cell and Gene Therapy Market
C> has emerged in the past few years to become a rapidly growing area of biological drug development, with an estimated global market of greater than $7 billion in 2022, and over 3,000 active clinical trials underway at year-end 2023 according to industry sources. Statements by the FDA are supported by industry reports that estimate annual revenue growth of over 20% for the C> market over the next several years. This scientifically advanced therapeutic approach has unique manufacturing challenges that many of our products can help address. We believe we are well positioned to participate in C> production, particularly in the manufacture of plasmids and viral vectors. Within the C> market, mRNA-based therapeutic programs have become an area of focus and investment by several large biopharmaceutical companies, following the regulatory approval of mRNA-based vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic, including all subsequent variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (“COVID-19”).
Our Strategy
We are focused on the development, production and commercialization of highly differentiated, technology-leading systems and solutions that address specific pressure points in the biologics manufacturing process and deliver substantial value to our customers. Our products are designed to optimize our customers’ workflow to maximize productivity and we are committed to supporting our customers with strong customer service and applications expertise.

To support our sales goals for our direct-to-consumer products, we have invested in our commercial organization. Since 2018, we have significantly expanded our global commercial organization from 103, to a commercial team of 342 employees as of December 31, 2023. This includes 277 people in field positions (sales, field applications and field service), 38 people in customer service and 27 in marketing. Geographically, 173 members of our commercial team are located in North America, 89 in Europe and 80 in Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) regions.
Our bioprocess account managers are supported in each region by bioprocess sales specialists with expertise in filtration, chromatography or process analytics, and by technically trained field applications specialists and field service providers, who can work closely with customers on product demonstrations, implementation and support. We believe that this model helps drive further adoption at our key accounts and also open up new sales opportunities within each region.
Ligand Supply Agreements
For our proteins franchise, we are committed to be a partner of choice for our customers with distributor and supply agreements in place with large life sciences companies such as Cytiva, MilliporeSigma and Purolite. The Cytiva Protein A supply agreement relating to our Waltham, Massachusetts facility was amended in September 2021 and pursuant to its amended terms, runs through 2025. Our Protein A amended supply agreement with Purolite was amended in October 2022 and, pursuant to its amended terms, runs through 2032.

We place high value on the satisfaction and well-being of our employees and operate with fair labor standards and industry-competitive compensation and benefits globally. As of December 31, 2023, we employed 1,783 full-time and part-time employees, a decrease of 242 since December 31, 2022. This total includes 342 employees in our commercial organization (277 field and 65 internal), 235 in engineering and R&D, 643 in manufacturing, 185 in quality, 82 in supply chain roles and 296 in administrative functions. Each of our employees has signed a confidentiality agreement. None of our U.S. employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We have one collective bargaining agreement with two unions that covers 82 employees in Sweden, comprising approximately 5% of our total workforce. We renewed this collective bargaining agreement in March 2023, and it expires at the end of March 2025. In France, 64 employees are under the relevant national and local collective bargaining agreements for metallurgy, comprising approximately 4% of our total workforce.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Repligen is committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical standards. This means how we conduct ourselves and our global work is more than just a matter of policy and law; it’s a reflection of our core principles. Our Second Amended and Restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reflects Repligen’s five core principles – (1) trustworthiness, (2) respectfulness, (3) responsibility, (4) fairness and (5) corporate citizenship. Our Second Amended and Restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all Repligen employees, including those who are integrated into the Company through acquisitions.
Inclusive Workforce
Repligen maintains a resolute commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We have established talent acquisition processes, as well as training and employee engagement resources, including the formation of inclusive workforce initiatives, to drive the principles of diversity and inclusion at all levels of our organization starting with our Board of Directors (“Board”) and our Leadership team.
In our hiring practices, we strive to hire the most qualified person for the job and believe that, over time, this will lead to an increasingly diverse workforce. As part of finding the most qualified candidates, we are committed to ensuring that qualified, diverse slates of applicants are identified and considered for all roles, from the boardroom and C-suite to all levels of the workforce. We believe our focus on talent identification, development, engagement and succession planning has been particularly successful in developing a deep and diverse talent pipeline.
Employee Engagement and Development
Our goal is to develop and maintain a talented, engaged and diverse workforce that has a positive impact on our performance and on our customers. We regularly conduct engagement surveys to gain insight on employee perspectives. Additional channels for employee engagement include Company-wide all-hands meetings led by our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and site town halls ran by site leaders. We are committed to colleague recognition, which includes acknowledging, appreciating and celebrating each other's contributions and achievements. Our CEO-led all-hands meetings serve as a platform for CEO awards and platinum awards, which reward and recognize both teams and individual colleagues who have made significant and notable contributions to Repligen's success. We also offer a range of programs to develop our managers and enhance our leadership across the Company. Our professional development efforts are aimed at increasing organizational talent and capabilities as well as identifying and developing potential successors for key leadership positions.

Our environmental health and safety policy advances our vision of zero workplace incidents and our efforts to reduce our environmental impacts.
Repligen Performance System
In 2022, we formalized the Repligen Performance System ("RPS"), to provide the tools and a framework for engaging employees across the organization to continuously improve operational performance, with a focus on product quality, customer lead times, material supply, production costs and sustainability. Through a standard implementation network, all teams were empowered to implement just-do-it process improvements, solve priority problems through stand-up meetings and improve key processes through kaizen events. We believe RPS improved our teams' ability to continuously resolve customer challenges, enhance product quality and improve operational efficiencies. The impact of RPS was seen during 2022 and into 2023 in productivity savings, customer lead-time reductions, manufacturing capacity expansions, product quality improvements and significant reductions in manufacturing scrap at several key sites. There are a number of programs setup using RPS over the next twelve months.
Sustainability - Environmental, Social and Governance Matters
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We believe our commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) topics across all our global facilities matters and is an important part of creating long-term business value for all stakeholders. We are deeply committed to corporate responsibility and transparency, and we continue to factor sustainability into our business decisions and integrate its core principles into our daily operations.
In establishing a formal approach to ESG, we joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2020 in support of its Ten Principles related to human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. The actions we have taken while building and implementing our robust ESG strategy demonstrate our long-term commitment to being a responsible global corporate citizen.
In preparation for our initial sustainability report, published in 2021, we formed a Corporate Responsibility Team (“CRT”) with oversight by our Board. The CRT was headed by a member of our operations leadership team and represented multiple disciplines within the organization. We completed our first materiality assessment gleaning insights from internal and external stakeholders, and we established a financial grade ESG software platform to inform current and future ESG-related reporting and decisions.
Together, we are advancing our ESG initiatives at an ambitious pace and taking bold steps to engage stakeholders throughout our upstream and downstream value chain.
Our Reporting Frameworks
We have become an active participant in the sustainability reporting ecosystem through our alignment with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and membership with the United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC”), the Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards Sustainability Alliance, which now includes the International Sustainability Standards Board standards. Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) standards and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) recommendations. In 2023, we completed our first CDP Climate and CDP Water surveys, and submitted our commitment letter to the Science Based Targets Initiative to develop a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan aligned with the latest climate science.
With our 2022 sustainability report, which was published in November 2023 (the “2022 Sustainability Report”), we hope to convey our Progress on Repligen's Integrated Sustainability Management program, which recognizes that an effective sustainability strategy reflects multiple stakeholders' lenses, perspectives on materiality and measurements of success and collaborative engagement. The 2022 Sustainability Report is intended to provide transparency insights into the positive impacts of our ESG programs for all of our stakeholders. To that end, we created reporting indexes for multiple disclosure frameworks including UNGC, SASB, GRI and TCFD.
Oversight of ESG Matters
The Nominating and Corporate Governance (“N&CG”) Committee of our Board oversees our ESG program. The N&CG Committee meets regularly and reviews and advises on ESG strategy and apprises the full Board in order to ensure that our ESG program and
13
strategy align with the Company's mission. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Board regularly reviews ESG-related topics such as enterprise risk management, anti-corruption, ethics and compliance, supply chain management, human rights protections, and cybersecurity and data privacy.
The Head of Sustainability, under strategic direction of our CEO and Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for the development and implementation of our expanding ESG program. In collaboration with all key business functions, the mandate of this globally focused role is to consider our existing ESG initiatives, understand stakeholder perspectives, identify business-relevant areas of opportunity to make a positive impact on global ESG efforts, and work collaboratively to drive initiatives designed to accelerate our ESG progress and stretch our ESG ambition.
Our Sustainability Pillars
Our sustainability initiatives are organized around four pillars that reflect our ESG priorities and topics considered material (or potentially material) to the Company and the bioprocessing industry: Principles, People, Product and Planet. Our “4Ps” embody the belief shared by our Board and the executive leadership team that corporate responsibility is essential to sustaining business and economic growth in a manner that can also deliver positive environmental and social impact.
Our ESG pillars are as follows:
During 2022 and 2023, we led and participated in numerous stakeholder communications across the business with key customers, critical suppliers, leading institutional investors, industry associations and employee resource groups to better understand their interests, priorities, targets and challenges through the increasingly relevant lens of sustainability. We remain committed to periodically updating our materiality matrices and reviewing the foundational aspects of our 4Ps to ensure close alignment with our stakeholders' priorities in the bioprocessing industry.
Intellectual Property
We are committed to protecting our intellectual property through a combination of patents, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks, as well as confidentiality and material transfer agreements. As further described below, we own or have exclusive rights to at least 263 active patent grants and 369 pending patent applications in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Our policy is to require each of our employees, consultants, business partners, potential collaborators and customers to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of an employment, consulting, business relationship, or product related audit or research evaluation. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the other party during the course of the relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. In the case of employees and consultants, the agreements generally provide that all inventions conceived by the individual in the course of employment or rendering services to Repligen shall be our exclusive property and must be assigned to Repligen.

15
intellectual property subject to conditions set forth in the Daylight Agreement. See Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information on this license agreement.
Competition
Our bioprocessing products compete on the basis of value proposition, performance, quality, cost effectiveness, and application suitability with numerous established technologies. Additional products using new technologies that may be competitive with our products may also be introduced. Many of the companies selling or developing competitive products have greater financial and human resources, and greater R&D, manufacturing and marketing experience than we do. They may undertake their own development of products that are substantially similar to or compete with our products and they may succeed in developing products that are more effective or less costly than any that we may develop. These competitors may also prove to be more successful in their production, marketing and commercialization activities. We cannot be certain that the research, development and commercialization efforts of our competitors will not render any of our existing or potential products obsolete.

In addition, we are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to report annually on our internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met, including objectives that may involve our reliance on third-party advisors and professionals
As discussed below in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” of this report, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to (i) the accounting for deferred income taxes on the December 2023 exchange of a portion of our 2019 Notes and issuance of our 2023 Notes and (ii) controls related to revenue recognition specific to the evaluation of accounting for contract terms. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023.
Following identification of the income tax material weakness, and as part of our commitment to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, we are implementing remedial actions under the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board to address this deficiency. On highly-technical, non-routine and complex accounting transactions, we will continue to engage nationally recognized third-party advisors with the requisite skills and technical expertise to assist us in assessing, performing and reviewing such transactions; however we also will:
Following identification of the revenue recognition material weakness, and as part of our commitment to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, we are implementing remedial actions under the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board to address these deficiencies. Our remediation activities will include the following:
18
We will continue to monitor the design and operating effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and make any further changes management determines appropriate. While we are undertaking efforts to remediate these material weaknesses, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. At this time, we cannot predict the success of such efforts or the outcome of our assessment of the remediation efforts. We can give no assurance that our efforts will remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare the consolidated financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, may adversely affect our reputation and business and the trading price of our common stock.
Any failure to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could result in errors in our consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, any of which could diminish investor confidence in us and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of our securities and harm to our reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of our business.
The restatement of our financial statements may affect stockholder and investor confidence in us or harm our reputation, and may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased costs and the increased possibility of legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigations
As a result of the restatement, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with, or related to, such restatement. In addition, such restatements could subject us to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of legal proceedings and inquiries, sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Any of the foregoing may adversely affect our reputation, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting, or our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, or cause stockholders, investors, members and customers to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports or cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of the date of this Amendment, we have no knowledge of any such legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigation. However, we can provide no assurance that such legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigation will not arise in the future. Any such legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigation, whether successful or not, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
We compete with life sciences, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies who are capable of developing new approaches that could make our products and technology obsolete.
The bioprocessing market is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants.
We compete with several medium and small companies in each of our product categories as well as several large companies, including Danaher Corporation (Pall Corporation and Cytiva), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., MilliporeSigma and Sartorius. Many of our competitors are large, well-capitalized companies that may have greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, research and development (“R&D”) resources than we have, as well as stronger name recognition, longer operating histories and benefits derived
19
from greater economies of scale. As a consequence, they are able to spend more aggressively on product development, marketing, sales and other product initiatives than we can, and may have additional lines of products and the ability to bundle products.
These factors, among others, may enable our competitors to market their products at lower prices or on terms more advantageous to customers than what we can offer. Competition may result in price reduction, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our current and future competitors, including certain of our customers, may at any time develop additional products that compete with our products. If any company develops products that compete with or are superior to our products, our revenue may decline. Additionally, new approaches by these competitors may make our products and technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
If we are unable to continue to hire and retain skilled personnel, then we will have trouble developing and marketing our products.
Our success depends largely upon the continued service of our management and scientific staff and our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, scientific, management and marketing personnel. We also face significant competition in the hiring and retention of such personnel from other companies, research and academic institutions, government and other organizations who have superior funding and resources. The loss of key personnel or our inability to hire and retain skilled personnel could materially adversely affect our product development efforts and our business.
Despite our increasingly diversified client base, we have historically depended on a limited number of customers for a high percentage of our revenues.
The loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, any of our large customers, including following any termination or failure to renew a long-term supply contract, would significantly reduce our revenues and harm our results of operations. If a large customer purchases fewer of our products, defers orders or fails to place additional orders with us for any reason, including for business continuity purposes, our revenue could decline, and our operating results may not meet market expectations.
In addition, if our customers order our products, but fail to pay on time or at all, our liquidity and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, if any of our current or future products compete with those of any of our largest customers, these customers may place fewer orders with us or cease placing orders with us, which would negatively affect our revenues and operating results.
Certain of our products are used by customers in the production of gene therapies, which represent a relatively new and still-developing mode of treatment. Unforeseen adverse events, negative clinical outcomes, or increased regulatory scrutiny of cell and gene therapy (“C>”) and its financial cost may damage public perception of the safety, utility, or efficacy of gene therapies and may harm our customers’ ability to conduct their business. Such events may negatively impact our revenues and have an adverse effect on our performance.
C> remains a relatively new and developing treatment method, with only a limited number of gene therapies approved to date by regulatory authorities. Public perception may be influenced by claims that C> is unsafe or ineffective, and C> may not gain the acceptance of the public or the medical community. In addition, ethical, social, legal, and financial concerns about C> and genetic testing could result in additional regulations, limitations or even prohibitions on certain C>s or C>-related products. More restrictive regulations or negative public perception could reduce certain of our customers’ use of our products, which could negatively affect our revenue and performance.
Risks Related to Product Development and Acquisitions
If we are unable to expand our product portfolio, our ability to generate revenue could be adversely affected.
We are increasingly seeking to develop and commercialize our portfolio of products. Our future financial performance will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully develop and acquire additional bioprocessing products. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully acquire or develop additional bioprocessing products, and our financial performance will likely suffer if we are unable to do so.
20
Our acquisitions expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of acquisitions of businesses or technologies.
As a part of our growth strategy, we may make selected acquisitions of complementary products and/or businesses, such as our most recent acquisitions of Metenova Holding AB and FlexBiosys, Inc. Any acquisition involves numerous risks and operational, financial, and managerial challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations:
In addition, the successful integration of acquired businesses requires significant efforts and expense across all operational areas, including sales and marketing, R&D, manufacturing, finance, legal, and information technologies. There can be no assurance that any of the acquisitions we may make will be successful or will be, or will remain, profitable. Our failure to successfully address the foregoing risks may prevent us from achieving the anticipated benefits from any acquisition in a reasonable time frame, or at all.
If intangible assets and goodwill that we recorded in connection with our acquisitions become impaired, we may have to take significant charges against earnings.
In connection with the accounting for our completed acquisitions, we recorded a significant amount of intangible assets, including developed technology and customer relationships relating to the acquired product lines, and goodwill. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we must assess, at least annually and potentially more frequently, whether the value of intangible assets and goodwill has been impaired. Intangible assets and goodwill will be assessed for impairment in the event of an impairment indicator. Any reduction or impairment of the value of intangible assets and goodwill will result in a charge against earnings, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and shareholders’ equity in future periods.
21
Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply
If we are unable to manufacture our products in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner, our operating results will be harmed, our ability to generate revenue could be diminished and our gross margin may be negatively impacted.
Our revenues and other operating results will depend in large part on our ability to manufacture and assemble our products in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner. Any interruptions we experience in the manufacturing or shipping of our products could delay our ability to recognize revenues in a particular quarter. Manufacturing problems can and do arise, and as demand for our products increases, any such problems could have an increasingly significant impact on our operating results. While we have not generally experienced problems with, or delays in, our production capabilities that resulted in delays in our ability to ship finished products, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter such problems in the future. We may not be able to quickly ship products and recognize anticipated revenues for a given period if we experience significant delays in the manufacturing process. In addition, we must maintain sufficient production capacity in order to meet anticipated customer demand, which carries fixed costs that we may not be able to offset if orders were to slow, which would adversely affect our operating margins. If we are unable to manufacture our products consistently, in sufficient quantities, and on a timely basis, our bioprocessing revenue, gross margins and our other operating results will be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, for certain of our products, one supplier, and we may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
There are only a limited number of suppliers of materials for certain of our products. An interruption in operations of the business related to these products could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing the required materials, or if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. Any such interruption could significantly affect the business related to these products and our financial condition, results of operations and reputation. For example, we believe that only a small number of suppliers are currently qualified to supply materials for the XCell ATF® systems. The use of materials furnished by these replacement suppliers would require us to alter our operations related to the XCell ATF systems. Transitioning to a new supplier for our products would be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our operations, could affect the performance specifications of our product lines or could require that we revalidate the materials.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure alternative materials and bring such materials online and revalidate them without experiencing interruptions in our workflow. If we should encounter delays or difficulties in securing, reconfiguring or revalidating the materials required for our products, our business related to these products and our financial condition, results of operations and reputation could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital
Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to make payments on our debt and we may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle for cash conversions of our Notes or to repurchase the Notes for cash upon a fundamental change, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In December 2023, we incurred significant indebtedness with the issuance of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2023 Notes”) where $309.9 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes were issued in exchange for $217.7 million principal amount of our 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2019 Notes”, and together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”) and $290.1 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes were issued for $290.1 million in cash. As of December 31, 2023, $69.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes remain outstanding. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including the Notes.
22
In addition, holders of the Notes have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to repurchase all or any portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indentures governing the Notes) at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but excluding the fundamental change repurchase date. Upon any conversion of Notes, we will also be required to make cash payments for each $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes converted of at least the lesser of $1,000 and the sum of the “daily conversion values” (as defined in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes). However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of Notes surrendered therefor or pay cash with respect to Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the applicable indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the Notes as required by the applicable indenture would constitute a default under such indenture. A default under either indenture governing the Notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.
In addition, our significant indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have other important consequences. For example, it could:
Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we incur additional indebtedness, the risks related to our business and our ability to service or repay our indebtedness would increase.
The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders of Notes will be entitled to convert the Notes at any time during specified periods at their option, as described in the indentures governing the Notes. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, we would be required to settle any converted principal through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital. As a result of the satisfaction of one of the conversion triggers, the 2019 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders thereof during the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2024. Because the 2019 Notes mature within one year of the report date, the Company classifies the carrying value of the 2019 Notes of $69.5 million as current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023.
Future strategic transactions or acquisitions may require us to seek additional financing, which we may not be able to secure on favorable terms, if at all.
We plan to continue a strategy of growth and development for our bioprocessing business, and we actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses that would complement our existing portfolio of development programs. In order to complete such strategic transactions, we may need to seek additional financing to fund these investments and acquisitions. Should we need to do so, we may not be able to secure such financing, or obtain such financing on favorable terms because of the volatile nature of the biotechnology marketplace. In addition, future
23
acquisitions may require the issuance or sale of additional equity or debt securities, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
Our corporate restructuring and the associated headcount reduction may not result in anticipated savings, could result in total costs and expenses that are greater than expected and could disrupt our business.
In July 2023, our Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized the Company's management team to undertake restructuring activities to simplify and streamline our organization and strengthen the overall effectiveness of our operations (the “Restructuring Plan”). As part of the Restructuring Plan, we consolidated a portion of our manufacturing business between certain U.S. locations and reduced our headcount. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits, savings and improvements in our cost structure from our restructuring efforts due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs. If we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings from the restructuring, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Furthermore, the Restructuring Plan may be disruptive to our operations. For example, our headcount reductions could yield unanticipated consequences, such as increased difficulties in implementing our business strategy, including retention of our remaining employees.
Our exposure to political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business has and may continue to increase.
We operate on a global basis with offices or activities in Japan, South Korea, China, India, Europe and North America. Our operations and sales outside of the United States have increased as a result of our strategic acquisitions and the continued expansion of our commercial organization. Risks related to these increased foreign operations include:
Our business success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other related factors. We cannot assure you that these and other related factors will not materially adversely affect our international operations or business as a whole.
24
In addition, a deterioration in diplomatic relations between the United States and any country where we conduct business could adversely affect our future operations and lead to a decline in profitability.
We may be unable to efficiently manage our growth as a larger and more geographically diverse organization.
Our strategic acquisitions, the continued expansion of our commercial sales operations, and our organic growth have increased the scope and complexity of our business. As a result, we will face challenges inherent in efficiently managing a more complex business with an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits and compliance programs. Our inability to manage successfully the geographically and culturally diverse, and substantially larger combined organization could materially adversely affect our operating results and, as a result, the market price of our common stock.
Our results of operations could be negatively affected by potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. (As Restated)
We conduct a large portion of our business in international markets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, 37.9% of our revenues were denominated in foreign currencies with the primary foreign currency exposures being the Swedish krona, Euro and Chinese yuan. We are exposed to the risk of an increase or decrease in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, which could decrease the value of our revenue and increase the value of our expenses and costs when measured in U.S. dollars. These fluctuations could also adversely affect the demand for products and services provided by us. As a result, our results of operation may be influenced by the effects of future exchange rate fluctuations and such effects may have an adverse impact on our common stock price.
Natural disasters, geopolitical unrest, war, terrorism, public health issues or other catastrophic events could disrupt the supply, delivery or demand of products, which could negatively affect our operations and performance.
We are subject to the risk of disruption by earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters, fire, power shortages, geopolitical unrest, war, terrorist attacks and other hostile acts, public health issues, epidemics or pandemics and other events beyond our control and the control of the third parties on which we depend. Any of these catastrophic events may have a strong negative impact on our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors or customers, and could decrease demand for our products, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver products to our customers.
In addition, a catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of our data centers or our critical business or information technology systems would severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our operating results would be adversely affected.
Our business, financial condition and results from operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by geopolitical events, such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Palestine.
Global conflicts could increase costs and limit availability of fuel, energy, and other resources we depend upon for our business operations. For example, while we do not operate in Russia or Ukraine, the increasing tensions between the United States and Russia and the other effects of the ongoing conflict of Ukraine, have resulted in many broader economic impacts such as the United States and European Union imposing sanctions and bans against Russia and Russian products imported into the United States and Europe, respectively. Such sanctions and bans have impacted and may continue to impact commodity pricing such as fuel and energy costs, making it more expensive for us and our partners to deliver products to our customers. Further sanctions, bans or other economic actions in response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine or in response to any other global conflict such as the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, could result in, among other things, cyber-attacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our known risks described in this section.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or
25
concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership. If any of our lenders or counterparties to any such instruments were to be placed into receivership, we may be unable to access such funds. We have a banking relationship with SVB and hold cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 in SVB depository accounts to cover short-term operational payments. While we have not experienced any losses in such accounts, the recent failure of SVB caused us to utilize our accounts at other financial institutions in order to mitigate potential operational risks stemming from the temporary inability to access funds in our SVB operating accounts. In addition, if any of our customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected.
Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain of such government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other liquidity needs of financial institutions for immediately liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the future in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.
Although we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the Company, the financial institutions with which the Company has credit agreements or arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which the Company has financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally. The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other obligations, result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations and financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, any further deterioration in the macroeconomic economy or financial services industry, could lead to losses or defaults by our suppliers, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our current and/or projected business operations and results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, our customers’ future purchases are difficult to predict and any failure to meet financial expectations may result in a decline in our stock price.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in the future due to many factors, such as the impact of seasonal spending patterns, changes in overall spending levels in the life sciences industry, the inability of some of our customers to consummate anticipated purchases of our products due to changes in end-user demand, and other unpredictable factors that may affect ordering patterns. Because our revenue and operating results are difficult to predict, we believe that our past results of operations are not necessarily a good indicator of our future performance. Additionally, if revenue declines in a quarter, whether due to a delay in recognizing expected revenue, adverse economic conditions or otherwise, our results of operations will be harmed because many of our expenses are relatively fixed. In particular, a large portion of our manufacturing costs, our R&D, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses are not significantly affected by variations in revenue. Further, our gross margins are dependent on product mix. A shift in sales away from our higher-margin products to lower margin products will adversely affect our gross margins. If our quarterly operating results fail to meet investor expectations, the price of our common stock may decline.
Securities or industry analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us and our business. We do not have any control over these analysts, and we cannot provide any assurance that analysts will cover us or provide favorable coverage. If any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our business or stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports covering us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Our stock price could be volatile, which could cause shareholders to lose part or all of their investment.
The market price of our common stock, like that of the common stock of many other companies with similar market capitalizations, is highly volatile. The stock market in general, and the market for life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of specific companies, the conflict in Ukraine and Israel, and rising inflation and interest rates in the United States, which have resulted in decreased stock prices for many companies notwithstanding the lack of a fundamental change in their underlying business models or prospects. Broad market and industry factors, including potentially worsening economic conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
Risks Related to Our Charter and Bylaws
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, certain of our contracts with third parties, and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, even one that may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our management. These provisions include the ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits the ability of stockholders owning in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock to merge or combine with us. Although we believe these provisions collectively provide for an opportunity to obtain greater value for stockholders by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with the Board, they would apply even if an offer rejected by our board was considered beneficial by some stockholders. Additionally, certain of our contracts with third parties allow for termination upon specified change of control transactions. Anti-takeover provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the Board, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management, and anti-takeover or change of control contract termination rights may frustrate or prevent any attempts by a third-party to acquire or attempt to acquire us.
27
Risks Related to Tax Matters
The enactment of legislation implementing changes in taxation of international business activities, the adoption of other corporate tax reform policies, or changes in tax legislation or policies, or interpretations thereof, could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
Corporate tax reform, base-erosion efforts and tax transparency continue to be high priorities in many tax jurisdictions where we have business operations. As a result, policies regarding corporate income and other taxes in numerous jurisdictions are under heightened scrutiny and tax reform legislation is being proposed or enacted in a number of jurisdictions. There is no assurance that our actual income tax liability will not be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals as a result of changes in tax laws.
In addition, many countries are beginning to implement legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting recommendations and action plan that aim to standardize and modernize global corporate tax policy, including changes to cross-border tax, transfer pricing documentation rules, and nexus-based tax incentive practices. Because of the heightened scrutiny of corporate taxation policies, prior decisions by tax authorities regarding treatments and positions of corporate income taxes could be subject to enforcement activities, and legislative investigation and inquiry, which could also result in changes in tax policies or prior tax rulings. Any such changes in policies or rulings may also result in the taxes we previously paid being subject to change.
Due to the large scale of our international business activities, any substantial changes in international corporate tax policies, enforcement activities or legislative initiatives may materially adversely affect our business, the amount of taxes we are required to pay and our financial condition and results of operations generally.
Our ability to use net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses to reduce future tax payments is limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and it is possible that certain transactions or a combination of certain transactions may result in material additional limitations on our ability to use our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, contain rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an ownership change, which is generally any change in ownership of more than 50 percentage points of its stock over a three-year period, to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses recognized in years after the ownership change. These rules generally operate by focusing on ownership changes involving stockholders owning directly or indirectly 5% or more of the stock of a company and any change in ownership arising from a new issuance of stock by the company. Generally, if an ownership change occurs, the yearly taxable income limitation on the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses is equal to the product of the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate and the value of the company’s stock immediately before the ownership change. We may be unable to offset our taxable income with losses, or our tax liability with credits, before such losses and credits expire and therefore would incur larger federal income tax liability. Federal net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017, are not subject to expiration and generally may not be carried back to prior taxable years except that, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 may be carried back five taxable years. Additionally, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, the deductibility of such deferral net operating losses is limited to 80% of our taxable income in any future taxable year.
Risks Related to Government Regulation
Risks Related to Regulations and Compliance
We are subject to export and import control laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we violate such laws and regulations.
We are subject to U.S. export controls and sanctions regulations that restrict the shipment or provision of certain products and services to certain countries, governments, and persons. While we take precautions to prevent our products and services from being exported in violation of these laws, we cannot guarantee that the precautions we take will prevent violations of export control and sanctions laws. We believe that, in the past, we and our subsidiaries may have exported certain products without a required export license in apparent violation of U.S. export control laws. As a result, we have submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security various notices of voluntary self-disclosure concerning potential violations. If we are found to be in violation of U.S.
28
sanctions or export control laws, it could result in substantial fines and penalties for us and for the individuals working for us. We may also be adversely affected through other penalties, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, or otherwise.
Complying with export control and sanctions regulations may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities or impose other costs. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in our decreased ability to export or sell certain products to existing or potential customers in affected jurisdictions.
Our business is subject to a number of environmental risks.
Our manufacturing business involves the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals and is therefore subject to numerous environmental and safety laws and regulations and periodic inspections for possible violations of these laws and regulations. In addition to these hazardous materials and chemicals, our facility in Sweden also uses Staphylococcus aureus and toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus in some of its manufacturing processes. Staphylococcus aureus and the toxins it produces, particularly enterotoxins, can cause severe illness in humans. The costs of compliance with environmental and safety laws and regulations are significant. Any violations, even if inadvertent or accidental, of current or future environmental and safety laws or regulations and the cost of compliance with any resulting order or fine could adversely affect our operations.
Climate change, climate change-related regulation and sustainability concerns could adversely affect our businesses and the operations of our subsidiaries, and any actions we take or fail to take in response to such matters could damage our reputation.
Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, other market participants and other stakeholders have focused increasingly on the Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices of companies, including those associated with climate change. These parties have placed increased importance on the importance on the implications of the social cost of their investments. If our ESG practices do not meet investor or other industry stakeholder expectations and standards, which continue to evolve, our reputation and associate retention may be negatively impacted based on an assessment of our ESG practices. Any sustainability disclosures we make may include our policies and practices on a variety of social and ethical matters, including corporate governance, environmental compliance, employee health and safety practices, human capital management, product quality, supply chain management, and workforce inclusion and diversity. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our ESG practices or the speed of their adoption, or that we may not sufficiently communicate our ESG practices sufficiently to stakeholders. We could also incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report, and comply with various ESG practices. In addition, investors may decide to refrain from investing in us as a result of their assessment of our approach to and consideration of the ESG factors.
In addition, we face physical risks associated with climate change. These physical risks include risks to our manufacturing and supply chain from flooding, severe storms, wildfires, droughts or extreme temperatures, all of which could increase costs and impair our ability to meet customer demands in a timely manner. To date, we have not experienced material losses or disruptions to our operations related to climate change, and we do not anticipate that these risks will have a material impact to our Company in the near term.
Health care reform measures could adversely affect our business.
The efforts of governmental and third-party payors to contain or reduce the costs of health care may adversely affect the business and financial condition of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including ours. Specifically, in both the United States and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the health care system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. For the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (together, the “ACA”), substantially changed the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers. The ACA and other federal and state proposals and health care reforms could limit the prices that can be charged for the products we develop and may limit our commercial opportunity.
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA includes several provisions that will impact our business to varying degrees, including provisions that create a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for Medicare Part D beneficiaries, impose new manufacturer financial liability on all drugs in Medicare Part D, allow the U.S. government to negotiate Medicare Part B and Part D pricing for certain high-cost drugs and biologics without generic or biosimilar competition, require companies to pay
29
rebates to Medicare for drug prices that increase faster than inflation, and delay the rebate rule that would require pass through of pharmacy benefit manager rebates to beneficiaries. The implementation of the IRA is currently subject to ongoing litigation challenging the constitutionality of the IRA's Medicare drug price negotiation program. The effect of IRA on our business and the healthcare industry in general is not yet known.
Additionally, the federal government and individual states in the United States have also become increasingly active in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. President Biden has issued multiple executive orders that have sought to reduce prescription drug costs. In February 2023, HHS also issued a proposal in response to an October 2022 executive order from President Biden that includes a proposed prescription drug pricing model that will test whether targeted Medicare payment adjustments will sufficiently incentivize manufacturers to complete confirmatory trials for drugs approved through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA's”) accelerated approval pathway. Although a number of these and other proposed measures may require authorization through additional legislation to become effective, and the Biden administration may reverse or otherwise change these measures, both the Biden administration and Congress have indicated that they will continue to seek new legislation measures to control drug costs.
Legally mandated price controls on payment amounts by third-party payors or other restrictions could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, regional healthcare authorities and individual hospitals are increasingly using bidding procedures to determine what pharmaceutical products and which suppliers will be included in their prescription drug and other healthcare programs. This could reduce the ultimate demand for our products or put pressure on drug pricing, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the FCPA and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and agreements with third parties and make sales in jurisdictions outside of the United States, which may experience corruption. Our activities in jurisdictions outside of the United States create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors, because these parties are not always subject to our control. These risks have increased following our recent acquisitions of overseas operations and facilities. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of Repligen may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold us liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by any companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.
Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines, and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, such as revenue recognition, asset impairment and fair value determinations, inventories, business combinations and intangible asset valuations, leases, and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, or judgments could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance or financial condition.
30
Risks Related to Data and Privacy
Our internal computer systems, or those of our customers, collaborators or other contractors, may be subject to cyber-attacks or security breaches, which could result in a material disruption of our product development programs.
Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems and those of our customers, collaborators cloud-based platform service providers, and other contractors are vulnerable to damage from unauthorized access and from cyber-attacks, such as computer viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing denial-of-service attacks, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. A material cyber-attack or security breach could cause interruptions in our operations and could result in a material disruption of our business operations, damage to our reputation or a loss of revenues.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including, among other things, personally identifiable information about our employees, intellectual property, and proprietary business information. In addition, we could be subject to risks caused by misappropriation, misuse, leakage, falsification or intentional or accidental release or loss of information maintained in the information systems and networks of our company and our vendors, including personal information of our employees, and company and vendor confidential data. Like other companies, we have on occasion experienced, and believe we will continue to experience, data security incidents involving access to company data threats to our data and systems. If a material breach of our information technology systems or those of our vendors occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and our reputation and credibility could be damaged.
We could be required to expend significant amounts of money and other resources to respond to these threats or breaches, and to repair or replace information systems or networks and could suffer financial loss or the loss of valuable confidential information. In addition, we could be subject to regulatory actions and/or claims made by individuals and groups in private litigation involving privacy issues related to data collection and use practices and other data privacy laws and regulations, including claims for misuse or inappropriate disclosure of data, as well as unfair or deceptive practices. Moreover, despite our efforts, the possibility of these events occurring cannot be eliminated entirely and there can be no assurance that any measures we take will prevent cyber-attacks or security breaches that could adversely affect our business.
Changes in laws and regulations governing the privacy and protection of data and personal information could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to data privacy and protection laws and regulations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage and use of proprietary information and personally-identifying information, which among other things, imposes certain requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of certain individually identifiable information. In addition, numerous other federal and state laws, including state security breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure and security of personal information. These laws continue to change and evolve and are increasing in breadth and impact.
For example, the European Union's and United Kingdom’s General Data Protection Regulations impose significant requirements on how we collect, process and transfer personal data, as well as significant regulatory penalties and legal liability for non-compliance. Complying with these laws may impose significant costs or otherwise require us to divert resources or implement changes to our business processes, and any actual or perceived non-compliance could result in significant penalties, claims and reputational damage.
Additionally, we face risks from evolving and uncertain privacy standards in our industry. For example, the California Privacy Rights Act imposes additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation and will significantly modify the California Consumer Privacy Act by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The law also created a new regulatory agency in California and that agency’s finalized and proposed regulations are continuing to change the standard of privacy protection we are required to meet. More than a dozen other states, including Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut, have passed similar privacy laws that are or will be implemented and enforced by various state regulators.
In addition, federal and state legislators and regulators are imposing new and heightened protections for health and other sensitive information that could impact our business. For example, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has imposed stringent requirements
31
on the collection and disclosure of sensitive categories of personal information, including health information, and has expanded the application of its Health Breach Notification Rule. Washington’s My Health My Data Act requires regulated entities to obtain consent to collect health information, grants consumers certain rights, including to request deletion, and provides for robust enforcement mechanisms, including enforcement by the state attorney-general and by litigants through a private right of action for consumer claims. These current and future data privacy laws and regulations may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies, incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement, reputational damage, and/or litigation.
Also, our customers may be subject to different privacy laws, rules and legislation, which may mean that they require us to be bound by varying contractual requirements applicable to certain other jurisdictions. Adherence to such contractual requirements may impact our collection, use, processing, storage, sharing and disclosure of information. As we expand our customer base, these requirements may vary from customer to customer, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business.
Risks Related to Our Products and Technology
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are unable to obtain or maintain our intellectual property, we may not be able to succeed commercially.
We endeavor to obtain and maintain trade secrets and pursue strategic patent protection in order to protect our products and processes from unauthorized use, and to produce a financial return consistent with the significant time and expense required to bring our products to market and continue to be competitive in our technical fields. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to:
We consider trade secrets, know-how and other forms of market protection to be among the most important elements of our proprietary position, in particular, as it relates to many of the products that currently account for a majority of our revenue. We also own or have exclusive rights to U.S. patents and U.S. pending patent applications as well as corresponding foreign patents and patent applications. We continue to actively and selectively pursue patent protection and seek to expand our patent estate, particularly for our products currently in development, and we cannot be sure that any patent applications that we will file in the future or that any currently pending applications will issue on a timely basis, if ever. We cannot be certain that we were the first to conceive the invention(s) described by each of our pending patent applications or that we were the first to file patent applications for such invention(s). Even if patents are issued, the degree of protection afforded by such patents will depend upon the:
Patents that may be granted to us in certain foreign countries may be subject to opposition proceedings brought by third parties or result in suits by us, which may be costly and result in adverse consequences for us.
In some cases, litigation or other proceedings may be necessary to assert claims of infringement, to enforce patents issued to us or our licensors, to protect trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights we own or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of third parties. Such litigation could result in substantial costs to us and diversion of our resources. An adverse outcome in any such litigation or proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our competitors prepare and file patent applications that claim technology also claimed by us, we may be required to participate in interference proceedings declared by Patent Offices to determine priority of invention, which would result in substantial costs to us.
32
While we continue to obtain patent grants directed towards Protein A, other patent grants directed towards Protein A have expired, and as a result, we may face increased competition, which could harm our results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Other companies could begin manufacturing and selling native or some of the commercial forms of recombinant Protein A in the United States and may directly compete with us on certain Protein A products. This may induce us to sell Protein A at lower prices and may erode our market share, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Our freedom to develop our products may be challenged by others, and we may have to engage in litigation to determine the scope and validity of competitors’ patents and proprietary rights, which, if we do not prevail, could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding the complex patent and other intellectual property rights in the life sciences industry. We have been a party to, and in the future may become a party to, patent litigation or other proceedings regarding intellectual property rights.
We may become involved in patent litigation or other intellectual property proceedings, including the following situations:
The cost to us of any patent litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the cost of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their substantially greater financial resources. If a patent litigation or other intellectual property proceeding is resolved in a way that is unfavorable to us, we or our collaborative or strategic partners may be enjoined from manufacturing or selling our products and services without a license from the other party and be held liable for significant damages. The failure to obtain any required license on commercially acceptable terms or at all may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Patent litigation and other proceedings may also absorb significant management time, attention and resources.
33
Risks Related to Our Products
The market may not be receptive to our new bioprocessing products upon their introduction.
We expect a portion of our future revenue growth to come from introducing new bioprocessing products, including line extensions and new features for our OPUS® disposable chromatography columns, our XCell ATF system, our SIUS® tangential flow filtration (“TFF”) cassettes, our Spectrum® hollow fiber modules TFF line of cassettes, our process analytics products and our growth factors. The commercial success of all of our products will depend upon their acceptance by the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Many of the bioprocessing products that we are developing are based upon new technologies or approaches. As a result, there can be no assurance that these new products, even if successfully developed and introduced, will be accepted by customers. If customers do not adopt our new products and technologies, our results of operations may suffer and, as a result, the market price of our common stock may decline.
Our products are subject to quality control requirements.
Whether a product is produced by us or purchased from outside suppliers, it is subjected to quality control procedures, including the verification of porosity and with certain products, the complete validation for good manufacturing practices, FDA, CE and ISO® compliance, prior to final packaging. Quality control is performed by a staff of technicians utilizing calibrated equipment. In the event we, or our manufacturers, produce products that fail to comply with required quality standards, it may incur delays in fulfilling orders, write-downs, damage to our reputation and damages resulting from product liability claims.
If our products do not perform as expected or the reliability of the technology on which our products are based is questioned, we could experience lost revenue, delayed or reduced market acceptance of our products, increased costs and damage to our reputation.
Our success depends on the market’s confidence that we can provide reliable, high-quality bioprocessing products. We believe that customers in our target markets are likely to be particularly sensitive to product defects and errors. Our reputation and the public image of our products and technologies may be impaired if our products fail to perform as expected. Although our products are tested prior to shipment, defects or errors could nonetheless occur in our products. Furthermore, the Protein A that we manufacture is subsequently incorporated into products that are sold by other life sciences companies and we have no control over the manufacture and production of those products. In the future, if our products experience, or are perceived to experience, a material defect or error, this could result in loss or delay of revenues, delayed market acceptance, damaged reputation, diversion of development resources, legal claims, increased insurance costs or increased service and warranty costs, any of which could harm our business. Such defects or errors could also narrow the scope of the use of our products, which could hinder our success in the market. Even after any underlying concerns or problems are resolved, any lingering concerns in our target market regarding our technology or any manufacturing defects or performance errors in our products could continue to result in lost revenue, delayed market acceptance, damaged reputation, increased service and warranty costs and claims against us.
Risks Related to Litigation
We may become involved in litigation or other proceedings with collaborative partners, which may be time consuming, costly and could result in delays in our development and commercialization efforts.
In connection with our decision to focus efforts on the growth of our core bioprocessing business, we sought development and commercialization partnerships for our remaining portfolio of clinical stage assets. Any disputes with such partners that lead to litigation or similar proceedings may result in us incurring legal expenses, as well as facing potential legal liability. Such disputes, litigation or other proceedings are also time-consuming and may cause delays in our development and commercialization efforts. If we fail to resolve these disputes quickly and with terms that are no less favorable to us than the current terms of the arrangements, our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects may be harmed.
We may become subject to litigation, which could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from our business.
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from our
34
expectations. If we receive an adverse judgment in any litigation, we could be required to pay substantial damages. With or without merit, litigation can be complex, can extend for a protracted period of time, can be very expensive and the expense can be unpredictable. Litigation initiated by us could also result in counterclaims against us, which could increase the costs associated with the litigation and result in our payment of damages or other judgments against us. In addition, litigation, and any related publicity, may divert the efforts and attention of some of our management and key personnel, which could adversely affect our business.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Information pertaining to fiscal years 2022 and 2021 was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2022, on pages 37 through 53 under Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2023.
Repligen and its subsidiaries, collectively doing business as Repligen Corporation (“Repligen”, “we”, “our”, or “the Company”) is a global life sciences company that develops and commercializes highly innovated bioprocessing technology and systems that increase efficiencies and flexibility in the process of manufacturing biological drugs.
As the overall market for biologics continues to grow and expand, our customers – primarily large biopharmaceutical companies and contract development and manufacturing organizations and other life sciences companies (integrators) – face critical production cost, capacity, quality and time pressures. Built to address these concerns, our products help set new standards for the way biologics are manufactured. We are committed to inspiring advances in bioprocessing as a trusted partner in the production of critical biologic drugs – including monoclonal antibodies (“mAbs”), recombinant proteins, vaccines and cell and gene therapies (“C>”) – that are improving human health worldwide. Increasingly, our technologies are being implemented to overcome challenges in processing plasmid DNA (a starting material for the production of mRNA) and gene delivery vectors such as lentivirus and adeno-associated viral vectors. For more information regarding our business, products and acquisitions, see above sections in Part I, Item 1. "Business" including “Overview”, “Our Products”, “2023 Acquisitions”, “2021 Acquisitions” and “Our Market Opportunity” sections therein.
Restatement
As previously described in the Explanatory Note above and in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, we have restated our previously issued consolidated financial statements and related notes for year ended December 31, 2023. In connection with this restatement, we have also corrected other unrelated immaterial errors. As a result, the previously reported financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 in this Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been updated to reflect the relevant restatement and immaterial error corrections. Refer to Note 1 in our consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the restatement, including descriptions of the adjustments and the impacts on our consolidated financial statements.
Other than the effect of the restatement, this section has not been otherwise modified and does not reflect any information or events occurring after February 22, 2024, the filing date of the Original Report, or modify or update those disclosures affected by events that occurred at a later date or facts that subsequently became known to the Company, except to the extent they are otherwise required to be included and discussed herein.
Macroeconomic Trends
As a result of our global presence, a significant portion of our revenue and expenses is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We are therefore subject to non-U.S. exchange exposure. Exchange rates can be volatile and a substantial weakening or strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar could increase or reduce our revenue and gross profit margin and impact the comparability of results from period to period.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, cost inflation, primarily in raw materials, and other supply chain costs, as a result of global macroeconomic trends, including global geopolitical conflicts and labor shortages. Actions taken to mitigate supply chain disruptions and inflation, including price increases and productivity improvements, have generally been successful in offsetting the impact of these trends. In addition, decreasing demand for vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic, including all subsequent variants of the SARS-CoV-1 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) is driving a reduction in future demand of our products related to these vaccines. We expect that these trends will continue to impact our results for 2024 as well.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we have identified the policies and estimates below as being critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These policies require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
36
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The impact of and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” specifically in the “Results of Operations” section, where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
Revenue recognition
We generate revenue from the sale of bioprocessing products, equipment devices, and related consumables used with these equipment devices to customers in the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Under Accounting Standards Codification No. (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.
When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, we do not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when we perform our obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of our contracts contained a significant financing component as of December 31, 2023.
Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. We determine standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
We recognize product revenue under the terms of each customer agreement upon transfer of control to the customer, which occurs at a point in time.
Shipping and handling fees are recorded as a component of product revenue, with the associated costs recorded as a component of cost of product revenue in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Allowance for credit losses
We evaluate our global accounts receivable through a continuous process of assessing our portfolio on an individual customer and overall basis. This process consists of a thorough review of historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, financial condition of our customers, and whether the receivables involve retainages. We also consider the economic environment of our customers, both from a marketplace and geographic perspective, in evaluating the need for an allowance. Based on our review of these factors, we establish or adjust allowances for specific customers. Credit losses can vary substantially over time and the process involves judgment and estimation that require a number of assumptions about matters that are uncertain. Accordingly, our
37
results of operations can be affected by adjustments to the allowance due to actual write-offs that differ from estimated amounts. See Note 9, “Credit Losses,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information.
Inventories
We value inventory at cost or, if lower, net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. We review our inventory at least quarterly and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on our estimates of expected sales volume, production capacity and expiration dates of raw materials, work-in-process and finished products. We write down inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected requirements to cost of product revenue in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Manufacturing of bioprocessing finished goods is done to order and tested for quality specifications prior to shipment.
A change in the estimated timing or amount of demand for our products could result in additional provisions for excess inventory quantities on hand. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand or unexpected quality failures could have a significant impact on the value of inventory and reported operating results. In 2023, we recorded a $23.6 million in inventory adjustments, which included the impact of the Company discontinuing the sale of certain product SKUs and the impact of having proactively secured materials during the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic period (the “COVID-19 Period”) to meet accelerated demand during a challenging supply chain environment in the industry. Where demand has reduced, finished goods and raw materials, whose value exceeded the projected requirements to be used before reaching their expiration date, were adjusted down to their net realizable value. In addition, these adjustments include inventory that could not be repurposed as a result of the closing of manufacturing facilities and production lines as part of the Company's restructuring activities during 2023.
Business combinations
Total consideration transferred for acquisitions is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. This purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions with respect to intangible assets and deferred revenue obligations. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions determined by management. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as any contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration earnouts using the Monte Carlo Simulation and updates the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting period based on the estimated probability of achieving the earnout targets and applying a discount rate that captures the risk associated with the expected contingent payments. To the extent that our estimates change in the future regarding the likelihood of achieving these targets, we may need to record material adjustments to our accrued contingent consideration. Such changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded as contingent consideration in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We recorded a net decrease to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 of ($30.6) million primarily related to the change in estimated contingent consideration obligations from the acquisition of Avitide, Inc. (“Avitide”) in September 2021.
We use the income approach to determine the fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships and developed technology. This approach determines fair value by estimating after-tax cash flows attributable to these assets over their respective useful lives and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. We base our assumptions on estimates of future cash flows, expected growth rates, expected trends in technology, etc. We base the discount rates used to arrive at a present value as of the date of acquisition on the time value of money and certain industry-specific risk factors. We believe the estimated purchased customer relationships, developed technologies, trademark/tradename, patents, non-competition agreements and in-process research and development ("R&D") amounts so determined represent the fair value at the date of acquisition and do not exceed the amount a third-party would pay for the assets.

Intangible assets and goodwill
Intangible assets
Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method and the amortization expense is recorded within R&D and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Intangible assets and their related useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions exist, that would indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. More frequent impairment assessments are conducted if certain conditions exist, including a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the marketplace, including changes in the prices paid for the Company’s products or changes in the size of the market for the Company’s products. If impairment indicators are present, the Company determines whether the underlying intangible asset is recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the asset is not found to be recoverable, it is written down to the estimated fair value of the asset based on the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition of the asset. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. The Company continues to believe that its definite-lived intangible assets are recoverable at December 31, 2023.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. There has been no impairment of our intangible assets for the periods presented.
Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, entity specific factors such as strategies and financial performance, a significant adverse change in legal factors and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Goodwill is tested for impairment as of December 31st of each year, or more frequently as warranted by events or changes in circumstances mentioned above. Accounting guidance also permits an optional qualitative assessment for goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If, after this qualitative assessment, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no further quantitative testing would be necessary. A quantitative assessment is performed if the qualitative assessment results in a more likely than not determination or if a qualitative assessment is not performed. The quantitative assessment considers whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.
We operate as one reporting unit. We performed a qualitative assessment for our reporting unit as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Based on the assessment, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was higher than its carrying value for such years, and that the performance of the quantitative impairment test was not required. Therefore, no impairment was required for any of the periods presented.
We have historically tested for impairment on our goodwill annually as of our measurement date of December 31st pursuant to Company policy. Subsequent to the 2023 annual impairment test, which was completed on December 31, 2023, we voluntarily changed our annual impairment assessment date from December 31st to October 1st, the first day of our fourth quarter, beginning on October 1, 2024. The change is being made to better align the annual impairment assessment date with our annual planning and budgeting process as well as the long-term planning and forecasting process. We have determined that this voluntary change in accounting principle is preferable and will not impact our consolidated financial statements nor is it being done to accelerate, avoid or trigger an impairment charge. This change is not going to be applied retrospectively as it is impracticable to do so because retrospective application would require application of significant estimates and assumptions with the use of hindsight. Therefore, the change will be applied prospectively.
Accrued liabilities
We estimate accrued liabilities by identifying services performed on our behalf, estimating the level of service performed and determining the associated cost incurred for such service as of each balance sheet date. For example, we would accrue for professional
39
and consulting fees incurred with law firms, audit and accounting service providers and other third-party consultants. These expenses are determined by either requesting those service providers to estimate unbilled services at each reporting date for services incurred or tracking costs incurred by service providers under fixed fee arrangements.
We have processes in place to estimate the appropriate amounts to record for accrued liabilities, which principally involve the applicable personnel reviewing the services provided. In the event that we do not identify certain costs that have begun to be incurred or we under or over-estimate the level of services performed or the costs of such services, the reported expenses for that period may be too low or too high. The date on which certain services commence, the level of services performed on or before a given date, and the cost of such services often require the exercise of judgment. We make these judgments based upon the facts and circumstances known at the date of the financial statements.
A change in the estimated cost or volume of services provided could result in additional accrued liabilities. Any significant unanticipated changes in such estimates could have a significant impact on our accrued liabilities and reported operating results. There have been no material adjustments to our accrued liabilities in any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Debt accounting
In December 2023, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“2023 Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to separate, privately negotiated exchange and subscription agreements (the “Exchange and Subscription Agreements”) with a limited number of holders of our outstanding 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (“2019 Notes”) and certain other qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, we exchanged $217.7 million of our 2019 Notes for $309.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the “Exchange Transaction”) and issued $290.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes in a private placement to accredited institutional buyers (the “Subscription Transactions”) for cash. Immediately following the closing of the aforementioned transactions, $69.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes remained outstanding.
We evaluated the Exchange Transaction and determined approximately $29.6 million of the $217.7 million principal of the exchanged 2019 Notes were accounted for as extinguishments of debt and approximately $188.1 million were accounted for as modification of debt. As a result, we recognized a $12.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2023. This included unamortized debt issuance costs related to the extinguished 2019 Notes. Under modification accounting, the carrying amount of the modified 2019 Notes was reduced by $2.8 million, with the offset going to additional paid-in capital, to account for the increase in fair value of the embedded conversion option in the modification. The increase in principal, along with the increased option value, totaling $82.1 million, is reflected as a debt discount and is a direct reduction from the carrying value of the debt on our consolidated balance sheets. This amount will be accreted as an adjustment to interest expense using the effective interest method and will accrete up to the full face value of the 2023 Notes of $600.0 million.
Proceeds from the Subscription Transactions amounted to $276.1 million after debt issuance costs of $14.0 million. The exchange resulted in $6.2 million of the debt issuance costs related to the modified notes to be recorded to amortization of debt issuance costs in our 2023 consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the rules of modification accounting. The remaining debt issuance costs of $7.8 million as well as $0.7 million of unamortized costs carried over from the 2019 Notes at the exchange date, were capitalized within long-term debt (as a contra-liability) in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and will be amortized as an adjustment to amortization of debt issuance costs over the five-year term of the 2023 Notes in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The carrying value of the 2023 Notes of $510.1 million is included in long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2028, the 2023 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of 2023 Notes only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods into cash up to their principal amount, and into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the conversion value above the principal amount, if any. Thereafter until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the 2023 Notes will be convertible at the options of the holders of 2023 Notes at any time regardless of these conditions. The Company may redeem for cash, all or a portion of the 2023 Notes, at its option, on or after December 18, 2026 and prior to the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity
40
date at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date, if certain conditions are met in accordance to the indenture.
Our short-term debt balance is related to our 2019 Notes, which were issued in July 2019. Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”, the 2019 Notes were carried at their principal amount less unamortized debt discount and unamortized debt issuance costs. We had accounted for our convertible notes as separate liability and equity components prior to the adoption of 2020-06. We estimated the carrying amount of the liability component by estimating the fair value of a similar liability that did not have an associated conversion feature. The Company allocated transaction costs related to the issuance of convertible notes to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the initial carrying value of the convertible notes. The carrying value of the equity component was calculated by deducting the carrying value of the liability component from the principal amount of the convertible notes as a whole. The difference represented a debt discount that, prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, was amortized to interest expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the term of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method. We assessed the equity classification of the cash conversion feature quarterly. We allocated transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the initial carrying value of the 2019 Notes. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06. After adoption, the Company now accounts for the 2019 Notes as a single liability measured at amortized cost. See Note 15, “Convertible Senior Notes,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information on our adoption of ASU 2020-06.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price of the 2019 Notes for more than 20 trading days of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. As a result, the remaining $69.7 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders of the 2019 Notes during the first quarter of 2024, the quarter immediately following the quarter when conditions are met, as stated in the terms of the 2019 Notes. These conditions have been met since the third quarter of 2020. Since the 2019 Notes mature within one year of the report date, we classify the carrying value of the 2019 Notes of $69.5 million as current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.
Stock-based compensation
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding and is derived from our historical stock option exercise experience and option expiration data. For purposes of estimating the expected term, we have aggregated all individual option awards into one group, as we do not expect substantial differences in exercise behavior among our employees. The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. We determined the expected volatility based upon the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected term on the grant date. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on any of our capital stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use an expected dividend yield of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a stock option.
The fair value for stock units, which include restricted stock units and performance stock units, is calculated using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense on awards that vest based on service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based upon the number of options that are ultimately expected to vest, and accordingly, such compensation expense has been adjusted by an amount of estimated forfeitures. We recognize compensation expense on awards that vest based on performance conditions following our assessment of the probability that the performance condition will be achieved over the service period. Forfeitures represent only the unvested portion of surrendered options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on an analysis of historical data, we have calculated an 8% annual forfeiture rate for non-executive level employees, a 3% annual forfeiture rate for executive level employees, and a 0% forfeiture rate for non-employee members of the Board of Directors (“Board”), which we believe are reasonable assumptions to estimate forfeitures. However, the estimation of forfeitures requires significant judgment and, to the extent actual results or updated
41
estimates differ from our current estimates, a cumulative adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recorded in the period estimates are revised.
For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $25.6 million, $27.3 million and $27.5 million, respectively, for share-based awards granted under all of the Company’s stock plans.
As of December 31, 2023, there was $63.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of 2.84 years. We expect 2,185,873 unvested options and stock units to vest over the next five years.
Income taxes
Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate our tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We are subject to a territorial tax system under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, in which we are required to provide for tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We adopted an accounting policy to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense.
In addition, we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from such examinations. We believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, the final determination of any of these examinations could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements.

Product revenues (As Restated)
Since 2016, we have been increasingly focused on selling our products directly to customers in the pharmaceutical industry and to our contract manufacturers. These direct sales have represented 85.7% of our total product revenue during 2023 compared to 87.8% of our
42
total product revenue in 2022. Sales of our bioprocessing products can be impacted by the timing of large-scale production orders and the regulatory approvals for such antibodies, which may result in significant quarterly fluctuations.

Revenue from the sale of our products which make up our filtration, chromatography, process analytics and proteins franchises comes from the sale of a number of products as described in Part I, Item 1. “Business - Our Products” of this report. Other revenue primarily consists of revenue from the sale of our operating room products to hospitals as well as freight revenue.
For 2023, product revenue decreased by $169.2 million, or 21.1%, as compared to 2022. This is mainly due to a decrease in revenue from programs related to COVID-19 as customers’ inventory has reduced at a slower pace than initially expected, which has primarily affected revenue from sales of our filtration products. Partially offsetting these revenue declines in 2023, as compared to 2022, were price increases and strong performances within our chromatography and process analytics franchises, specifically from chromatography systems and flow paths, as well as slope spectroscopy, consumables and service. The impact of our acquisitions of FlexBiosys and Metenova also increased revenue in 2023, as compared to 2022.
Sales of our bioprocessing products are impacted by the timing of orders, development efforts at our customers or end-users and regulatory approvals for biologics that incorporate our products, which may result in significant quarterly fluctuations. Such quarterly fluctuations are expected, but they may not be predictive of future revenue or otherwise indicate a trend.
Royalty revenues
Royalty revenues for all periods presented relate to royalties received from a third-party systems manufacturer associated with our OPUS® chromatography columns. Royalty revenues are variable and are dependent on sales generated by our partner.
Costs and operating expenses

Cost of product revenue (As Restated)
In 2023, cost of product revenue increased $8.1 million, or 2.3%, compared to 2022, primarily due to restructuring charges, including $23.6 million in inventory adjustments to reflect inventory at net realizable value, a $3.8 million charge for accelerated depreciation on equipment related to manufacturing facilities closed and $3.0 million in severance and other charges during 2023 as a result of our restructuring activities, which commenced in July 2023. See Note 6, “Restructuring Plan” of this report for more information on the restructuring activities to simplify and streamline our organization and strengthen our overall effectiveness of our operations (“Restructuring Plan”). Our restructuring activities include consolidating a portion of our manufacturing facilities between certain U.S. locations, discontinuing the sale of certain product SKUs, and evaluating the fair value of finished goods and raw materials secured during the COVID-19 Period to meet increasing demand during a challenging supply chain environment in the industry. Where demand has reduced, finished goods and raw materials, whose value exceeded the projected requirements to be used before reaching their expiration date, were written down to their net realizable value. The inventory adjustments include reserved values which may be recoverable in future periods, if salvageable. Also contributing to the increase in cost of product revenue is cost inflation, primarily in raw materials as well as freight charges due to fuel costs and carrier market conditions in 2023, compared to 2022. Also, our occupancy costs and depreciation expense increased during 2023, as compared to 2022, due to expanded facilities and manufacturing equipment being placed into service towards the end of 2022 and throughout 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in costs associated with lower revenue as well as a decrease in employee-related costs not related to the restructuring activities in 2023, as compared to 2022.
Gross margin was 44.0% in 2023, compared to 56.9% in 2022. The reduction in gross margin in 2023 as compared to 2022, is primarily due to restructuring activities as noted above during 2023 to simplify and streamline our organization and strengthen the overall effectiveness of our operations for which there were no comparable costs in 2022. In addition, lower margins were a result of lower overall sales and production volumes, and a change in product mix, where we saw a significant decline in revenue associated with higher-margin consumable products due to the decrease in COVID-19 vaccine demand. We also experienced an increase in manufacturing costs from an increase in occupancy costs due to added capacity and an increase in depreciation expense.
Research and development expenses
R&D expenses are related to bioprocessing products, which include personnel, supplies and other research expenses. Due to the fact that these various programs share personnel and fixed costs, we do not track all of our expenses or allocate any fixed costs by program, and therefore, have not provided historical costs incurred by project.
R&D expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 2.8%, during 2023, compared to 2022. The decrease during the periods is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy costs for facilities where R&D work is performed, which more than offset the increase in employee-related costs, depreciation expense and spending on new product development during 2023, as compared to 2022.
R&D expense also includes payments made to expand our proteins product offering through our development agreement with Navigo Proteins GmbH (“Navigo”). Such expenses were $3.8 million in 2023, $2.6 million in 2022 and $2.3 million in 2021 in the form of milestone payments to Navigo.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (As Restated)
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include the costs associated with selling our commercial products and costs required to support our marketing efforts, including legal, accounting, patent, shareholder services, amortization of intangible assets and other administrative functions.
SG&A costs increased by $2.8 million, or 1.3%, in 2023, as compared to 2022 primarily due to an increase in SG&A costs related to the operations of FlexBiosys and Metenova, which have been included in our results of operations since their acquisition dates in April 2023 and October 2023, respectively. In addition, there were $1.7 million in one-time costs incurred from restructuring activities during 2023, for which there were no comparable costs in 2022. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the amount of commissions paid out resulting from lower revenue and a decrease in employee-related costs.
44
Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration represents the change in fair value of the contingent consideration obligation included in current and noncurrent contingent consideration on the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of each period. Remeasurement of the contingent consideration obligation is done each quarter and the carrying value of the obligation is adjusted to the current fair value through our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In 2023, 2022 and 2021, actual and expected results and a change in market inputs used to calculate the discount rate, resulted in adjustments to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 of ($30.6) million, ($28.7) million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Investment income
Investment income includes income earned on invested cash balances. Our investment income increased by $17.2 million in 2023, as compared to 2022 due to an increase in interest rates on higher average invested cash balances since December 31, 2022, as well as interest earned on U.S. treasury bills purchased at the end of 2022.
Interest expense
Interest expense in 2023 is primarily from contractual coupon interest on the convertible debt outstanding as of December 31, 2023. On December 14, 2023, we entered into a privately negotiated exchange and subscription agreement with certain holders of the 2019 Notes and certain new investors pursuant to which we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes. Interest expense in 2023 includes $1.0 million of interest on the 2019 Notes, compared to $1.1 million of interest expense on the 2019 Notes in 2022. Interest expense in 2023 also includes $0.3 million of contractual coupon interest on the 2023 Notes for which there were no comparable amounts in 2022 as well as $0.6 million in accretion of the $82.1 million debt discount on the modified notes, which includes the accretion of an increase in principal and the accretion of increased fair value of the conversion option in 2023, for which there were no comparable costs in 2022. See Note 15, “Convertible Senior Notes,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information on this transaction.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
In 2023, as part of the Exchange Transaction, we exchanged $217.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes for $309.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes. Upon evaluation of the Exchange Transaction, approximately $29.6 million, of the $217.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes were deemed extinguished. As a result, we recorded a $12.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income in 2023, which includes a $12.6 million write-off for the increase in principal of the converted notes being extinguished and a $0.1 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the converted notes being extinguished.
Amortization of debt issuance costs
Transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the 2023 Notes are amortized to amortization of debt issuance costs on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Amortization of debt issuance costs increased during 2023, as compared to 2022. Under ASC 470, “Debt”, any third-party costs directly related to the modification or exchange are expensed as incurred.
45
Therefore, in 2023, we recorded $6.4 million to amortization of debt issuance costs in accordance to this guidance, which included $6.2 million of debt issuance costs directly related to the modified notes and $0.2 million of amortization of the capitalized debt issuance costs.
Other income (expenses), net
The changes in other expenses, net in 2023, as compared to 2022, is primarily attributable to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses related to transactions with customers and vendors, as well as the revaluation impact of intercompany loans with subsidiaries.
Income tax provision (As Restated)
Income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:

For 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $21.1 million. The effective tax rate was 37.2% for 2023 and is based upon the income for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the composition of income in different jurisdictions. The difference in effective tax rates between 2023 and 2022 was primarily due to a loss on extinguishment of debt and a debt discount basis difference, partially offset by increased benefits from business tax credits and nontaxable contingent consideration. Our effective tax rate for 2023 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a debt discount basis difference partially offset by business tax credits and nontaxable contingent consideration.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (As Restated)
We have financed our operations primarily through revenues derived from product sales, the issuance of the 2016 Notes in May 2016, our 2019 Notes in July 2019, the 2023 Notes in December 2023 and the issuance of common stock in our December 2020, July 2019 and May 2019 public offerings. Our revenue for the foreseeable future will primarily be limited to our bioprocessing product revenue.
At December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $751.3 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $523.5 million at December 31, 2022. There were no restrictions on cash as of December 31, 2023.
Working capital increased by $352.5 million to $946.4 million at December 31, 2023 from $593.9 million at December 31, 2022 due to various changes noted below, primarily the exchange of $217.7 million in aggregate principal of the 2019 Notes in December 2023.
On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. Subsequently, the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve and FDIC announced that SVB depositors would have access to all of their money. We have a banking relationship with SVB and hold cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 in SVB depository accounts to cover short-term operational payments. While we have not experienced any losses in such accounts, the recent failure of SVB caused us to utilize our accounts at other financial institutions in order to mitigate potential operational risks stemming from the temporary inability to access funds in our SVB operating accounts. As a result of bank failures, such as SVB, our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired and could negatively impact the financial institutions with which we have direct arrangements, or the financial services industry or economy in general.
In 2023, we acquired two companies for an aggregate of $186.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company has an obligation to pay up to $52.0 million (undiscounted) in contingent consideration earnout payments
46
in cash over a two-year earnout period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2024). See Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements,” and Note 5, “Acquisitions,” for additional information.
On December 14, 2023, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2023 Notes in Exchange and Subscription Agreements with a limited number of holders of our outstanding 2019 Notes and certain other investors. Pursuant to the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, we exchanged $217.7 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes for $309.9 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the "Exchange Transaction") and issued $290.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the "Subscription Transactions") for $290.1 million in cash. Immediately following the closing of the aforementioned transactions, the exchanged 2019 Notes were cancelled and $69.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes remained outstanding. We evaluated all exchanges and determined approximately $29.6 million of the exchanged notes were accounted for as extinguishment of debt and approximately $188.1 million were accounted for as modification of debt. As a result, we recognized a $12.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income in 2023.
Proceeds from the Subscription Transactions amounted to $276.1 million after debt issuance costs of $14.0 million. The exchange resulted in $6.2 million of the debt issuance costs related to the modified notes to be recorded to amortization of debt issuance costs in our 2023 consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the rules of modification accounting. The remaining debt issuance costs of $7.8 million as well as $0.7 million of unamortized costs carried over from the 2019 Notes at the exchange date, were capitalized within long-term debt (as a contra-liability) in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and will be amortized as an adjustment to amortization of debt issuance costs over the five-year term of the 2023 Notes in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The 2023 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2024. The 2023 Notes will mature on December 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2028, the 2023 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of 2023 Notes only upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods into cash up to their principal amount, and into cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, for the conversion value above the principal amount, if any. Thereafter until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, the 2023 Notes will be convertible at the options of the holders of 2023 Notes at any time regardless of these conditions.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the closing price of our common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price of the 2019 Notes for more than 20 trading days of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. As a result, the 2019 Notes are convertible at the option of the holders of the 2019 Notes during the first quarter of 2024, the quarter immediately following the quarter when the conditions are met, as stated in the terms of the 2019 Notes. These conditions have been met each quarter since the third quarter of 2020. As a result, as of the date of this filing and prior to the Exchange Transaction, we received requests to convert $0.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes and all but $0.1 million of the requests have been settled as of December 31, 2023. The remaining conversions will settle in the first quarter of 2024. The conversions resulted in the issuance of a nominal number of shares of our common stock to the note holders. Because the 2019 Notes mature within one year of the report date, we classify the carrying value of the 2019 Notes of $69.5 million as current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023.
In 2023, our Board authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of our common stock concurrent with the issuance of the 2023 Notes. The authorization does not obligate us to acquire a specific number of shares during any period and does not have an expiration date, but it may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the discretion of our Board. In December 2023, we used $14.4 million of cash of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes to repurchase and retire 92,090 shares of our common stock at an average price of $156.22 per share, including $0.02 per share commission.
In 2023, we had lease arrangements for certain equipment and facilities including corporate and manufacturing sites. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had fixed lease payment obligations of $132.2 million, with $5.6 million payable within 12 months. See Note 7, “Leases,” for additional information.
47
In 2023, we had other purchase obligations primarily consisting of purchase commitments with certain vendors and open purchase orders for the procurement of raw materials for manufacturing. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had other purchase obligations of $34.3 million, payable within 12 months.

Operating activities (As Restated)
For 2023, our operating activities provided cash of $113.9 million reflecting net income of $35.6 million and non-cash charges totaling $98.4 million primarily related to amortization of inventory step-up charges, depreciation expense, intangible amortization expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, contingent consideration fair value adjustments, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation charges, loss on extinguishment of debt and operating lease right of use asset amortization. A decrease in inventory provided $41.0 million of which $23.6 million was related to the Restructuring Plan. An increase in prepaid expenses, primarily related to prepaid taxes and insurance as well as subscriptions, consumed $13.3 million. A decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses consumed $31.3 million and was due to the timing of payments to vendors as well as the payment of employee bonuses related to 2022 during 2023. The remaining cash provided by operating activities resulted from favorable changes in various other working capital accounts.
For 2022, our operating activities provided cash of $172.1 million reflecting net income of $186.0 million and non-cash charges totaling $56.0 million primarily related to depreciation, amortization, contingent consideration adjustments, amortization of debt issuance costs, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation charges and operating lease right of use asset amortization. An increase in accounts receivable consumed $3.6 million of cash and was primarily driven by the 19.5% year-to-date increase in revenue in 2022, as compared to 2021. Additionally, we had an increase in inventory of $57.2 million to support expected increases in future revenue. Accounts payable decreased $8.2 million due to the timing of payments to vendors and accrued expenses decreased $2.0 million due to corporate income taxes paid. Offsetting these uses of cash was a $2.4 million decrease in prepaid expenses, including corporate income taxes. The remaining cash used in operating activities resulted from unfavorable changes in various other working capital accounts.
Investing activities
Our investing activities consumed $123.3 million of cash in 2023, primarily due to $186.6 million in cash (net of cash received) used for the 2023 acquisitions of Metenova and FlexBiosys, in the aggregate. Capital expenditures consumed $39.0 million in 2023, as we continue to increase our manufacturing capacity worldwide. Of these expenditures, $2.8 million represented capitalized costs related to our internal-use software for 2023. These uses of cash were partially offset by the maturity of our short-term investment in U.S. treasury securities in June 2023, which provided cash of $102.3 million.
Our investing activities consumed $233.2 million of cash during 2022, mainly due to $88.3 million of capital expenditures in 2022 as we continued to increase our manufacturing capacity worldwide. Of these expenditures, $3.5 million represented capitalized costs related to our internal-use software for 2022. In addition, in September 2022, the Company paid a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable upfront payment to Daylight as required under the Daylight Agreement for the commercialization and sale of Culpeo®QCL-IR Liquid Analyzer. In December 2022, the Company invested $100.0 million in short-term U.S. treasury securities.
48
Financing activities
In 2023, cash provided by financing activities of $249.0 million included $290.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes in December 2023 and proceeds from stock option exercises during 2023 were $1.1 million. Offsetting these activities was $14.4 million for the buyback of 92,090 shares of our common stock, $13.2 million in cash disbursed for shares withheld to cover employee income tax due upon the vesting and release of restricted stock units, $7.3 million paid for debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes and the payment of $7.3 million to settle the cash portion of the First Earnout Year contingent earnout obligation related to our acquisition of Avitide in September 2021.
Our financing activities consumed $13.3 million of cash in 2022, which included cash disbursed in relation to shares withheld to cover employee income tax due upon the vesting and release of restricted stock units of $17.0 million. This was partially offset by proceeds received from stock option exercises during the period of $3.7 million.
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash during 2023 is a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona against the U.S. dollar by 3%, the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar by 3% and the strengthening of the British pound against the U.S. dollar by 5%.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Capital Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:
Absent acquisitions of additional products, product candidates or intellectual property, we believe our current cash balances are adequate to meet our cash needs for at least the next 24 months. We expect operating expenses in 2024 to increase as we continue to expand our bioprocessing business. We expect to incur continued spending related to the development and expansion of our bioprocessing product lines and expansion of our commercial capabilities for the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements may include, but are not limited to, purchases of property, plant and equipment, the acquisition of additional bioprocessing products and technologies to complement our existing manufacturing capabilities, and continued investment in our intellectual property portfolio.
49
We plan to continue to invest in our bioprocessing business and in key R&D activities associated with the development of new bioprocessing products. We actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses that would complement our existing portfolio. We continue to seek to acquire such potential assets that may offer us the best opportunity to create value for our shareholders. In order to acquire such assets, we may need to seek additional financing to fund these investments. If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, for example, due to acquisition-related financing needs or lower demand for our products, among potential other events, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt funding. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our shareholders, and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards (As Restated)
At December 31, 2023, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $31.1 million, state net operating loss carryforwards of $4.8 million, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $4.9 million. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2043, while the federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards have unlimited carryforward periods and do not expire. We had federal and state business tax credits carryforwards of $5.8 million available to reduce future federal and state income taxes. The business tax credits carryforwards will expire at various dates through December 2043. Net operating loss carryforwards and available tax credits are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service, state and foreign jurisdictions and may be limited in the event of certain changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders.
Foreign Earnings
As of December 31, 2023, we have accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries of approximately $212.4 million. Because $5.7 million of such earnings have previously been subject to the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of our foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign and state taxes. At December 31, 2023, we have not provided for taxes on outside basis differences of our foreign subsidiaries as it is not practicable and we have the ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and there are no needs for such earnings in the United States that would contradict our plan to indefinitely reinvest.
Effects of Inflation
Our assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Because of their liquidity, these assets are not directly affected by inflation. Since we intend to retain and continue to use our equipment, furniture, fixtures and office equipment, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, we believe that the incremental inflation related to replacement costs of such items will not materially affect our operations. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as those for employee compensation and contract services, which could increase our level of expenses and the rate at which we use our resources.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We have historically held investments in commercial paper, U.S. treasury and government securities as well as corporate bonds and other debt securities. As a result, we have been exposed to potential loss from market risks that may occur as a result of changes in interest rates, changes in credit quality of the issuer or otherwise. We do not have any such investments as of December 31, 2023. Our investment portfolio consists of cash and cash equivalents (cash and money market funds) that total $751.3 million on the consolidated
50
balance sheets as of December 31, 2023. Our cash equivalent investments (money market funds) have short-term maturity periods that dampen the impact of market or interest rate risk. As a result, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have no effect on our cash position as of December 31, 2023.
We manage our investment portfolio in accordance with our investment policy or approval by the Board of Directors. The primary objectives of our investment policy are to preserve principal, maintain a high degree of liquidity to meet operating and other needs, and obtain competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in high-quality securities, including money market funds.
Foreign Exchange Risk (As Restated)
The reporting currency of the Company is U.S. dollars, and the functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is its respective local currency. Our foreign currency exposures include the Swedish krona, Euro, British pound, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, South Korean won and Indian rupee; of these, the primary foreign currency exposures are the Swedish krona, Euro and Chinese yuan. Exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation between the transactional currency and the functional currency are included in net income. Fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We currently do not seek to hedge this exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.
Although a majority of our contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, 37.9% and 38.2% of total revenues were denominated in foreign currencies during 2023 and 2022, respectively.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Financial statements and supplementary data required by Item 8 are set forth at the pages indicated in Item 15(a) below and are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
(b) Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”), management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
51
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We acquired FlexBiosys Inc. (“FlexBiosys”) on April 17, 2023 and Metenova Holding AB ("Metenova") on October 2, 2023. The financial results of each of these acquisitions are included in our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023. The Company's consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 includes $43.7 million and $197.2 million from the FlexBiosys and Metenova businesses, respectively. The Company's consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes $2.5 million and $5.0 million from the FlexBiosys and Metenova businesses, respectively. As these acquisitions occurred during 2023, the scope of our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting does not include these acquisitions. These exclusions are in accordance with the Security and Exchange Commission's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our scope in the year of such acquisition.
In connection with our initiative to integrate and enhance our global information technology systems and business processes, we continued the phased implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The Company is implementing the ERP system in phases and will continue until all current and future subsidiaries are using it. The fifth phase of implementation was completed during the second quarter of 2023. As a result of this implementation, we modified certain existing internal control over financial reporting as well as implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP system as of December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:
Based on these material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that at December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Repligen Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Repligen Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Repligen Corporation (the Company) has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.
In our report dated February 22, 2024, we expressed an adverse opinion that the Company had not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria. Management has subsequently identified deficiencies related to the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to revenue recognition specific to the evaluation of accounting for contract terms, and has further concluded that such deficiencies represented a material weakness as of December 31, 2023. As a result, management has revised its assessment, as presented in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, our present opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, as expressed herein, includes an additional material weakness from that included in our previous report.
As indicated in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Metenova Holding AB ("Metenova") and FlexBiosys Inc. ("FlexBiosys"), which is included in the 2023 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted $197.2 million and $43.7 million of total assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2023 and $5.0 million and $2.5 million of revenues, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Metenova and FlexBiosys.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment. Management has identified a material weakness in controls related to the Company’s income tax accounting related to non-routine transactions. Management also has identified a material weakness in controls related to the Company’s revenue recognition process.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2023 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 22, 2024, except for the effect of the restatement disclosed in Note 1, as to which the date is November 18, 2024, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
54
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Boston, Massachusetts
February 22, 2024, except for the effect of the material weakness in controls related to the revenue recognition process described in the second and fourth paragraphs above, as to which the date is November 18, 2024.
(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Excluding the material weaknesses identified above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the three months ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management believes the consolidated financial statements reflected in our current Amendment are accurately stated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Repligen Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Repligen Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 22, 2024, except for the effect of the material weakness in controls related to the revenue recognition process described in the second and fourth paragraphs of that report as to which the date is November 18, 2024, expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
Adoption of ASU No. 2020-06
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for accounting for convertible debt in 2022 due to the adoption of ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20).
Restatement of 2023 Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 1, the 2023 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement related to revenue recognition.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Accounting for acquisitions |
Description of the Matter |
|
As disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2023, the Company completed two acquisitions. The most significant of the two acquisitions was the acquisition of Metenova Holding AB for total consideration of approximately $172.6 million. The transactions were accounted for as business combinations. Auditing the Company's accounting for its acquisition of Metenova Holding AB was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in the Company’s determination of the fair value of identified intangible assets of $58.8 million, which principally consisted of customer relationships and developed technology. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective customer relationship and developed technology fair values to underlying assumptions about the future performance of the acquired business. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to measure the customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the intangible assets included discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results, including revenue growth, and cost of revenues and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. |
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |
|
We tested the Company's controls over its accounting for acquisitions. Our tests included controls over the determination of the fair value of customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets. We also tested management’s review of assumptions used in the valuation models.
To test the estimated fair value of the customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the Company's selection of the valuation methodology, evaluating the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company, and evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates. This includes comparing the significant assumptions to current industry, market and economic trends, to the assumptions used to value similar assets in other acquisitions, to the historical results of the acquired business and to other guidelines used by companies within the same industry. We involved our valuation professionals to assist in our evaluation of the methodology used by the Company and significant assumptions included in the fair value estimates.

Accounting for convertible notes |
Description of the Matter |
|
As disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2023, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2028 (the “2023 Notes”). The Company privately negotiated exchange and subscription agreements (the “Exchange and Subscription Agreements”) with a limited number of holders of its outstanding 2019 Notes and certain other qualified institutional buyers. Pursuant to the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, the Company exchanged $217.7 million of its 2019 Notes for $309.9 million aggregate principal of the 2023 Notes (the “Exchange Transaction”) and issued $290.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes in a private placement to accredited institutional buyers (the “Subscription Transactions”) for $290.1 million in cash. The Company evaluated the Exchange Transaction for extinguishment or modification accounting and recorded an extinguishment loss of $12.7 million and an aggregate debt discount of $82.1 million related to the settlement of the Exchange Transaction. Auditing the accounting treatment for the 2023 Notes and the Exchange Transaction involved especially challenging and complex auditor judgment and required team members with specialized knowledge and skills in accounting and valuation in order to evaluate the Company’s accounting assessment, and the determination of the related extinguishment loss upon settlement of the Exchange Transaction. |
63
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |
|
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the issuance of the 2023 Notes and the accounting for the Exchange Transaction, including the valuation of the conversion feature used in the extinguishment test and incorporated into the accounting assessment for the Exchange Transaction to determine the extinguishment loss and debt discount recorded.
Our testing of the Company’s accounting for the issuance of the 2023 Notes and Exchange Transaction included, among other procedures, inspection of the underlying Exchange and Subscription Agreements and testing management’s application of the relevant accounting guidance. To test the Exchange Transaction, we evaluated the Company’s extinguishment accounting assessment, including the Company’s determination of the change in fair value of the conversion feature associated with the Exchange Transaction, which included testing the appropriateness of the methodology and underlying assumptions used to determine such fair value. We involved our valuation professionals to assist in our evaluation of the valuation methodology used by the Company and significant assumptions included in the fair value estimate. Also, we tested the Company’s key inputs into the calculation of the extinguishment loss and evaluated the appropriateness of the Company’s disclosures. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2024 (the “Original Report”), the Company identified a material accounting error related to the timing of revenue recognition (referred to as “the Misstatement”) which impacts the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2023. Within this report, the Company has restated all impacted financial information and footnote disclosures impacted by the Misstatement. A description of the error and its impact on the previously issued financial statements is included below. In connection with the restatement, the Company determined that it was appropriate to revise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as impacted footnote disclosures, in this Form 10-K/A to correct other unrelated immaterial errors.
Description of revenue restatement adjustments
During the first quarter of 2023, a customer cancelled two COVID-related, non-cancellable product purchase orders (“Cancelled PO’s”) in exchange for a $
Subsequent to the issuance of the Original Report, the Company reassessed the accounting treatment of the Payment and concluded that the Cancelled PO’s and Open PO’s represented a combined contract such that the February 2023 transaction should have been analyzed and accounted for as a contract modification, which required the Payment to be deferred and recognized as product units were delivered under the Open PO’s. All Open PO product units were fully delivered to the customer by June 30, 2024.
The correction of the Misstatement affects certain financial statement line items in these consolidated financial statements including but not limited to product revenues, income tax provision, foreign currency translation, deferred revenues, prepaid expenses, deferred taxes and earnings-per-share.

Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ: RGEN) is a global life sciences company that develops and commercializes highly innovative bioprocessing technologies and systems that increase efficiencies and flexibility in the process of manufacturing biological drugs. The Company’s franchises include filtration, chromatography, process analytics and proteins. See Part I, Item 1. “Business - Our Products”, of this report for additional information related to the Company's products. The Company’s bioprocessing products are sold to major life sciences companies, biopharmaceutical development companies and contract manufacturing organizations worldwide. The Company operates under one reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. See Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Segment Reporting,” for more information on the Company’s segment.
A majority of our
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
74
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, allowance for credit losses, the net realizable value of inventory, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations, contingent consideration, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, estimates related to the fair value of the conversion features of the convertible notes for purposes of assessing whether debt extinguishment or modification accounting applies to the Company’s debt exchange, stock-based compensation, tax reserves and recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have changed to reflect current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from the sale of bioprocessing products, equipment devices, and related consumables used with these equipment devices to customers in the life sciences and biopharmaceutical industries. Under Accounting Standard Codification No. (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.
When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of December 31, 2023.
Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the
75
Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
The Company recognizes product revenue under the terms of each customer agreement upon transfer of control to the customer, which occurs at a point in time.
Risks and Uncertainties
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit. Highly liquid investments in money market mutual funds with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. All cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash represents cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or usage. There was no restriction on the Company’s cash balance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates the embedded conversion feature within its convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, ”Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company refers to ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-40 to determine if the conversion feature meets the definition of a derivative and, if so, whether to bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. Based on the Company’s analysis, its Convertible Senior Notes do not have an embedded conversion feature requiring bifurcation under ASC 815-15 and thus are accounted for as a single unit of account, a liability under ASC 470, ”Debt.”
Investment Securities
We classify our investment securities in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Our investment portfolio at December 31, 2022 consisted of an investment in U.S. treasury bills classified as held to maturity which was included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets under marketable securities held to maturity. These marketable securities matured in June 2023 and there are no comparable investments as of December 31, 2023. Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and stated at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase based upon management's intent with regards to such investment and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company's investment policy requires that it only invest in high-rated securities and limit its exposure to any single-user. There were no realized or unrealized gains or losses on investments recorded as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
The Company classifies marketable securities as short-term when they have remaining contractual maturities of one year or less from the balance sheet date. The Company periodically assesses its marketable securities, if any, for impairment or credit losses.
Fair Value Measurement
In determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company uses various valuation approaches. The Company employs a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of
76
unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:
Level 1 – |
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
|
|
Level 2 – |
Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 3 – |
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
Allowance for credit losses
We establish an allowance for credit losses through a review of several factors, including historical collection experience, current aging status of the customer accounts, and current financial condition of our customers. Losses are charged against the allowance when the customer accounts are determined to be uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories relate to the Company’s bioprocessing business. The Company values inventory at cost or, if lower, net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews its inventories at least quarterly and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on its estimates of expected sales volume, production capacity and expiration dates of raw materials, work-in-process and finished products. The Company writes down inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected requirements to cost of product revenue. Manufacturing of bioprocessing finished goods is done to order and tested for quality specifications prior to shipment.
A change in the estimated timing or amount of demand for the Company’s products could result in additional provisions for excess inventory quantities on hand. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand or unexpected quality failures could have a significant impact on the value of inventory and reported operating results. During all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, there have been no material adjustments related to a revised estimate of inventory valuations.
Lease Accounting
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASC 842”) as of January 1, 2019. Under ASC 842, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease at the inception of an arrangement. If a lease is identified in an arrangement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and liability on its consolidated balance sheets and determines whether the lease should be classified as a finance or operating lease. The Company does not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with lease terms of less than 12 months.
A lease qualifies as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met at the inception of the lease: (i) there is a transfer of ownership of the leased asset to the Company by the end of the lease term, (ii) the Company holds an option to purchase the
77
leased asset that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, or (v) the nature of the leased asset is specialized to the point that it is expected to provide the lessor no alternative use at the end of the lease term. All other leases are recorded as operating leases.
Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an operating expense over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized to depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. Finance lease payments are bifurcated into (i) a portion that is recorded as imputed interest expense and (ii) a portion that reduces the finance liability associated with the lease.
The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components when determining which lease payments to include in the calculation of its lease assets and liabilities. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. If a lease includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, the Company reflects the option in the lease term if it is reasonably certain it will exercise the option.
Finance leases are recorded in property, plant and equipment, net, other current liabilities and long-term finance lease liabilities and operating leases are recorded in operating lease right of use assets, operating lease liability and operating lease liability, long-term on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Certain of the Company’s operating leases where the Company is the lessee provide for minimum annual payments that increase over the life of the lease. Some of these leases include obligations to pay for other services, such as operations and maintenance. For leases of property, the Company accounts for these other services as a component of the lease. The aggregate minimum annual payments are expensed on the straight-line basis beginning when the Company takes possession of the property and extending over the term of the related lease, including renewal options when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain as an economic penalty may be incurred if the option is not exercised. The Company also accounts in its straight-line computation for the effect of any “rental holidays.”
Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to the Company. Most of the leases do not provide implicit interest rates and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases is determined based on lease term and currency in which the lease payments are made.
Accrued Liabilities
The Company estimates accrued liabilities by identifying services performed on the Company’s behalf, estimating the level of service performed and determining the associated cost incurred for such service as of each balance sheet date. For example, the Company would accrue for professional and consulting fees incurred with law firms, audit and accounting service providers and other third-party consultants. These expenses are determined by either requesting those service providers to estimate unbilled services at each reporting date for services incurred or tracking costs incurred by service providers under fixed fee arrangements.
78
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. The Company evaluates this tax position on a quarterly basis. The Company also accrues for potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company is subject to a territorial tax system under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, in which the Company is required to provide for tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has adopted an accounting policy to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property, plant & equipment is recorded at cost less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Classification |
|
Estimated Useful Life |
Buildings |
|
|
Leasehold improvements |
|
|
Equipment |
|
to |
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment |
|
to |
Computer hardware and software |
|
to |
Vehicles |
|
Upon disposal of property, plant & equipment, the cost of the asset and the accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in our results of operations. Fully depreciated assets are not removed from the accounts until they are physically disposed of.
Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share," which establishes standards for computing and presenting EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common share equivalents consist of restricted stock awards (including performance stock units) and the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. Under the treasury stock method, unexercised “in-the-money” stock options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period or at issuance, if later. The assumed proceeds are then used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. In periods when the Company has a net loss, stock awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.

A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average share outstanding is as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021,
In July 2019, the Company issued $
As provided by the terms of the Second Supplemental Indenture underlying the 2019 Notes, the Company irrevocably elected to settle the conversion obligation for the 2019 Notes in a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock. This means the Company will settle the par value of the 2019 Notes in cash and any excess conversion premium in shares. As mentioned in Note 15, “Convertible Senior Notes,” the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022. Under ASU 2020-06, the Company is required to reflect the dilutive effect of the convertible securities by application of the “if-converted” method, which means the denominator of the EPS calculation would include the total number of shares assuming the 2019 Notes had been fully converted at the beginning of the period. Prior to March 4, 2022, the Company had the choice to settle the
80
conversion of the 2019 Notes in cash, stock or a combination of the two. Therefore, from January 1, 2022 (the date the Company adopted ASU 2020-06) to March 4, 2022, the Company included

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Per the Company’s investment policy, cash equivalents and marketable securities are invested in financial instruments with high credit ratings, limit its credit exposure to any one issuer (with the exception of U.S. treasury obligations) and type of instrument is limited. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no investments associated with foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to customers to whom the Company makes significant sales. While a reserve for the potential write-off of accounts receivable is maintained, the Company has not written off any significant accounts to date. To control credit risk, the Company performs regular credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Business Combinations
Total consideration transferred for acquisitions is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. This purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions with respect to intangible assets and deferred revenue. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions determined by management. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as any contingent consideration, where applicable, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Any excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired over the purchase price is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value of contingent consideration includes estimates and judgments made by management regarding the probability that future contingent payments will be made and the extent of royalties to be earned in excess of the defined minimum royalties. Management updates these estimates and the related fair value of contingent consideration at each reporting period. These changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded to contingent consideration in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded a decrease of $(
The Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships and developed technology. This approach determines fair value by estimating after-tax cash flows attributable to these assets over their respective useful lives and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. The Company bases its assumptions on estimates of future cash flows, expected growth rates, expected trends in technology, etc. Discount rates used to arrive at a present value as of the date of acquisition are based on the time value of money and certain industry-specific risk factors. The Company believes the estimated purchased customer relationships, developed technologies, trademark/tradename, patents, non-compete agreements and in-process research and development amounts so determined represent the fair value at the date of acquisition, and do not exceed the amount a third-party would pay for such assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. The Company operates as one reporting unit as of the goodwill impairment measurement date of December 31, 2023. During the qualitative assessment of the Company’s
The Company has historically tested for impairment on its goodwill annually as of its measurement date of December 31st pursuant to company policy. Subsequent to the 2023 annual impairment test, the Company voluntarily changed its annual impairment assessment date from December 31st to October 1st, the first day of the Company's fourth quarter, beginning on
83
impracticable to do so because retrospective application would require application of significant estimates and assumptions with the use of hindsight. Accordingly, the change will be applied prospectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method and the amortization expense is recorded within research and development (“R&D”) and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Intangible assets and their related useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions existed that would indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. More frequent impairment assessments are conducted if certain conditions exist, including a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the marketplace, including changes in the prices paid for the Company’s products or changes in the size of the market for the Company’s products. If impairment indicators are present, the Company determines whether the underlying intangible asset is recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the asset is not found to be recoverable, it is written down to the estimated fair value of the asset based on the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition of the asset. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. The Company continues to believe that its definite-lived intangible assets are recoverable at December 31, 2023.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually. There has been
Stock Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes it as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Company records the expense for share-based awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates whether the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable as of the reporting date. The Company has no awards that are subject to market conditions. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based upon options that are ultimately expected to vest, and accordingly, such compensation expense has been adjusted by an amount of estimated forfeitures.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of share-based awards on the grant date. The following assumptions are used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards:
Expected term – The expected term of options granted represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding. For purposes of estimating the expected term, the Company has aggregated all individual option awards into one group as the Company does not expect substantial differences in exercise behavior among its employees.
Expected volatility – The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. The Company determines the expected volatility based primarily upon the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term.
Risk-free interest rate – The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected term on the grant date.
Expected dividend yield – The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on any of its capital stock and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a stock option.
Estimated forfeiture rates – The Company has applied, based on an analysis of its historical forfeitures, annual forfeiture rates of

Recent Accounting Standards Updates
We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs and other accounting guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Updates not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recently issued accounting guidance that we feel may be applicable to the Company are as follows:
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance – Adopted During the Fiscal Year
In July 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11216, “Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure,” requiring current reporting about material cybersecurity incidents and annual disclosures on management’s processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material cybersecurity risks, the material impacts of cybersecurity threats and previous cybersecurity incidents, the Board's oversight of cybersecurity risks, and management’s role and expertise in assessing and managing material cybersecurity risks. SEC Release No. 33-11216 was effective for us during the third quarter of 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2022, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11138, "Insider Trading Arrangements and Related Disclosures," which requires new disclosures regarding insider trading policies and procedures, the use of Rule 10b5-1 plans by directors and officers, and stock option grants issued in close proximity to the release of material nonpublic information. SEC Release No. 33-11138 was effective for us for our second quarter of 2023, and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance – Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company in its income tax disclosure included in its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and will be applied on a prospective basis. However, retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. Besides a change in income tax disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 820) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” ASU 2023-07 will improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced annual and interim disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM. The disclosure required under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. The amendments of this guidance apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is
85
permitted. Besides presentation in the segment footnote for its interim reporting, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Severance and employee-related costs under the Restructuring Plan are associated with actual headcount reductions. Costs incurred include cash severance and non-cash severance, including other termination benefits. Severance and other termination benefit packages are based on established benefit arrangements or local statutory requirements and we recognized the contractual component of these benefits when payment was probable and could be reasonably estimated.
The inventory adjustments include the impact of the Company discontinuing the sale of certain product SKUs and the impact of having proactively secured materials during the COVID-19 Period to meet accelerated demand during a challenging supply chain environment in the industry. Where demand has reduced, finished goods and raw materials, whose value exceeded the projected requirements to be used before reaching their expiration date, were written down to their realizable value. The Restructuring Plan also includes the closing of manufacturing facilities and production lines, which included inventory that could not be repurposed.
Non-cash charges for accelerated depreciation were recognized on long-lived assets that were taken out of service before the end of their normal service due to the shutdown of manufacturing facilities and production lines, in which case depreciation estimates were revised to reflect the use of the assets over their shortened useful life.

The restructuring accrual is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and the balance has been paid as of that date.

The Company is a lessee under leases of manufacturing facilities, office spaces, machinery, certain office equipment and vehicles. A majority of the Company’s leases are operating leases with remaining lease terms between one month and 13 years. Finance leases are immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company determines if an arrangement qualifies as a lease and what type of lease it is at inception. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new lease standard, which among other things, allowed it to continue to account for existing leases based on the historical lease classification. The Company also elected the practical expedients to combine lease and non-lease components and to exclude right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet.
Some of the lease agreements the Company enters into include Company options to either extend and/or early terminate the lease, the costs of which are included in the Company’s operating lease liabilities to the extent that such options are reasonably certain of being exercised. Leases with renewal options allow the Company to extend the lease term typically between 1 and 5 years per option, some of its leases have multiple options to extend. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company considers several economic factors, including but not limited to, the significance of leasehold improvements incurred on the property, whether the asset is difficult to replace, underlying contractual obligations, or specific characteristics unique to that particular lease that would make it reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such options.

Most of the leases do not provide implicit interest rates and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases is determined based on lease term and currency in which the lease payments are made.

The Company generates revenue from the sale of bioprocessing products, equipment devices, and related consumables used with these equipment devices to customers in the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers.
Disaggregation of Revenue (As Restated)

When disaggregating revenue, the Company considered all of the economic factors that may affect its revenues. Because its revenues are from bioprocessing customers, there are no differences in the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows from any of its product lines. However, given that the Company’s revenues are generated in different geographic regions, factors such as regulatory and geopolitical factors within those regions could impact the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows.
Disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by geographic region can be found in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Segment Reporting,” above.

Filtration Products
The Company’s filtration products generate revenue through the sale of KrosFlo and ARTeSYN tangential flow filtration (“TFF”) systems, TangenX® flat sheet (“FS") cassettes, Spectrum® HF filters, membranes and modules, XCell ATF systems and related consumables. Supporting our systems, we also sell ProConnex® Flow Path assemblies and custom silicone-based, single-use flow path assemblies and components from Metenova, FlexBiosys, BioFlex, Polymem, ARTeSYN Biosolutions Holdings Ireland Limited, NMS and EMT, seven acquisitions completed since 2020.
The Company’s KrosFlo and ARTeSYN systems are used in the filtration, isolation, purification and concentration of biologics and diagnostic products. TFF is a rapid and efficient method for separation and purification of biomolecules that is widely used in laboratory, process development and process scale applications in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Sales of large-scale systems generally include components and consumables as well as training and installation services at the request of the customer. Because the initial sale of components and consumables is necessary for the operation of the system, such items are combined with the systems as a single performance obligation. Training and installation services do not significantly modify or customize these systems and therefore represent a distinct performance obligation.
The Company’s TangenX FS cassettes (SIUS, SIUS Gamma® and PRO) are not highly interdependent on one another and are therefore considered distinct products that represent separate performance obligations. Product revenue from the sale of TangenX FS cassettes is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of the customer.
The Company’s other filtration product offerings are not highly interdependent of one another and are therefore considered distinct products that represent separate performance obligations. Revenue on these products is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer. The Company invoices the customer for the installation and training services in an
100
amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date; therefore, revenue recognized is based on the amount billable to the customer in accordance with the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18.
The Company also markets XCell ATF controllers, which are technologically advanced filtration devices used in upstream processes to continuously remove cellular metabolic waste products during the course of a fermentation run, freeing healthy cells to continue producing the biologic drug of interest. XCell ATF controllers are typically sold with consumables (i.e., tubing sets, metal stands) as well as training and installation services at the request of the customer. The controllers and consumables are considered distinct products and therefore represent separate performance obligations. First time purchasers of the controllers typically purchase a controller that is shipped with the tubing set(s) and metal stand(s). The training and installation services do not significantly modify or customize the XCell ATF controllers and therefore represent a distinct performance obligation. XCell ATF product revenue related to controllers and consumables is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Chromatography Products
The Company’s chromatography products include a number of products used in the downstream purification and quality control of biological drugs. The majority of chromatography revenue relates to the OPUS pre-packed chromatography column product line. OPUS columns are designed to be disposable following a production campaign. Each OPUS column is delivered pre-packaged with the customer’s choice of chromatography resin, which is either provided by the Company for the customer or is customer supplied. Chromatography product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer and represents a single performance obligation.
Process Analytics Products
The process analytics franchise generates revenue primarily through the sale of the SoloVPE and FlowVPX slope spectroscopy systems, consumables and service. These products complement and support the Company’s existing filtration, chromatography and proteins franchises as they allow end-users to make in-line protein concentration measurements in filtration, chromatography and fill-finish applications, designed to allow for real-time process management. Process analytics product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Protein Products
The Company’s protein franchise generates revenue primarily through the sale of Protein A affinity ligands and growth factors. Protein A ligands are an essential component of Protein A chromatography resins (media) used in the purification of virtually all mAb-based drugs on the market or in development. The Company manufactures multiple forms of Protein A ligands under long-term supply agreements with major life sciences companies, who in turn sell their Protein A chromatography media to end users (biopharmaceutical manufacturers). The Company also manufactures growth factors for sale under long-term supply agreements with certain life sciences companies as well as for direct sales to its customers. Each protein product is considered distinct and therefore represents a separate performance obligation. Protein product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
In 2021, the Company completed the Avitide Acquisition and added its diverse libraries and leading technology in affinity ligand discovery and development to its proteins franchise. The acquisition gives the Company a new platform for affinity resin development, including C>, and advances and expands the Company’s proteins and chromatography franchises to address the unique purification needs of gene therapies and other emerging modalities.
Other Products
The Company’s other products include operating room products sold to hospitals. Other product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of contracts for which work has not been performed or has been partially performed. The Company’s future performance obligations relate primarily to the installation and training of
101
certain of its systems sold to customers. These performance obligations are completed within one year of receipt of a purchase order from its customers. Accordingly, the Company has elected to not disclose the value of these unsatisfied performance obligations as provided under ASC 606-10-50-14.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in the accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
A contract asset is created when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to the customer. Contract assets may represent conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. The right is conditional and recorded as a contract asset if the Company must first satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables once the right becomes unconditional. If the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration from the customer, the contract asset is accounted for as a billed receivable and presented separately from other contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.
When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract
The Company’s sales commission structure is based on achieving revenue targets. The commissions are driven by revenue derived from customer purchase orders which are short term in nature.
Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company accounts for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation.
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivable. Customers are pooled based on sharing specific risk factors, including geographic location. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances.
Customers are assessed for credit worthiness upfront through a credit review, which includes assessment based on the Company’s analysis of their financial statements when a credit rating is not available. The Company evaluates contract terms and conditions,
102
country and political risk, and may require prepayment to mitigate risk of loss. Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company monitors changes to the receivables balance on a timely basis, and balances are written off as they are determined to be uncollectible after all collection efforts have been exhausted. Estimates of potential credit losses are used to determine the allowance. It is based on assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASC 350.

Intangible Assets (As Restated)
Intangible assets with a definitive life are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method, and the amortization expense is recorded within research and development (“R&D”) and selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Intangible assets and their related useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions existed that would indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. More frequent impairment assessments are conducted if certain conditions exist, including a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the marketplace, including changes in the prices paid for the Company’s products or changes in the size of the market for the Company’s products. If impairment indicators are present, the Company determines whether the underlying intangible asset is recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the asset is not found to be recoverable, it is written down to the estimated fair value of the asset based on the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition of the asset. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of
103
the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. The Company continues to believe that its definite-lived intangible assets are recoverable at December 31, 2023.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. There has been

Stock Options
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date, and measures stock-based compensation costs of stock options at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award. The Company recognizes expense on awards with service-based vesting over the employee’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for options that are ultimately expected to vest, and accordingly, such compensation expense has been adjusted for estimated forfeitures.
The fair value of stock option awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were calculated using the following estimated assumptions:

License Agreement
On September 19, 2022, the Company entered into a 15-year exclusive License Agreement (the “Daylight Agreement”) with DRS Daylight Solutions, Inc. (“Daylight”), giving the Company exclusive license and commercialization rights to use certain technology and intellectual property subject to conditions set forth in the Daylight Agreement. The Company agreed to pay Daylight (i) an initial, one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable upfront cash payment and (ii) certain quarterly royalty payments.
Pursuant to the Daylight Agreement, the Company obtains the exclusive, non-transferrable, right and license to use specifically in the field of bioprocessing, the Daylight intellectual property called Culpeo® QCL-IR Liquid Analyzer (“Culpeo”), which is a compact, intelligent spectrometer that uses the power of quantum cascade lasers to analyze and identify chemicals. Under the Daylight Agreement, the Company assumes responsibility for the commercialization and sale of Culpeo, in addition to the ability
111
to incorporate the intellectual property into optimized products over the term of the Daylight Agreement. Daylight will continue to sell the products in the specified fields of Aerospace and Defense.
Collaboration Agreements
The Company licenses certain technologies that are, or may be, incorporated into its technology under several agreements and also has entered into several clinical research agreements that require the Company to fund certain research projects. Generally, the license agreements require the Company to pay annual maintenance fees and royalties on product sales once a product has been established using the technologies. R&D expenses associated with license agreements were immaterial amounts for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
In June 2018, the Company secured an agreement with Navigo Proteins GmbH (“Navigo”) for the exclusive co-development of multiple affinity ligands for which Repligen holds commercialization rights. The Company is manufacturing and supplying the first of these ligands, NGL-Impact®, exclusively to Purolite, who is pairing the Company’s high-performance ligand with Purolite’s agarose jetting base bead technology used in their Jetted A50 Protein A resin product. The Company also signed a long-term supply agreement with Purolite for NGL-Impact and other potential additional affinity ligands that may advance from the Company’s Navigo collaboration. In September 2020, the Company and Navigo successfully completed co-development of an affinity ligand targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, to be utilized in the purification of vaccines for the COVID-19 pandemic, including emerging variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The Company has proceeded with scaling up and manufacturing this ligand and the development and validation of the related affinity chromatography resin, which is marketed by the Company. In September 2021, the Company and Navigo successfully completed co-development of a novel affinity ligand that addresses aggregation issues associated with pH sensitive antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins. The Company is manufacturing and supplying this ligand, NGL-Impact® HipH, to Purolite. The Navigo and Purolite agreements are supportive of the Company’s strategy to secure and reinforce the Company’s proteins business. The Company made royalty payments to Navigo of $

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, in the normal course of its operations, the Company is subject to litigation matters and claims relating to employee relations, business practices and patent infringement. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. The Company expenses legal fees as incurred. The Company records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or its financial results.
