NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2024

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Standard BioTools Inc. ("Standard BioTools" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation headquartered in South San Francisco, California. The Company has an established portfolio of essential technologies that assist biomedical researchers develop medicines faster and better. The Company has created high resolution instruments designed to provide reliable and repeatable insights in health and disease, through the use of proprietary mass cytometry and microfluidics technologies, which are useful in proteomics and genomics, to help transform scientific discoveries into better patient outcomes. Additionally, the Company has an integrated proteomics platform ("SomaScan® Platform"), capable of robust, high throughput proteomics analysis with broad proteome coverage, low limits of detection, and high reproducibility.

The Company works with leading academic, government, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, plant and animal research, and clinical laboratories worldwide, focusing on the most pressing needs in translational and clinical research, including oncology, immunology, and immunotherapy.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding financial reporting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2024, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Financial Statements") included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Significant estimates and assumptions which form the basis of amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the identification of performance obligations in contracts with customers; standalone selling prices of the Company's performance obligations; timing of revenue recognition; fair value measurements; net realizable value of inventory; income taxes; and the fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The Company bases its estimates on current facts and circumstances, historical experience, forecasted results, and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. The Company obtains reports from third-party valuation experts to inform and support estimates related to certain fair value measurements.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Restructuring and related charges include employee separation costs, contract termination costs, and other costs associated with implementing restructuring plans. Employee separation costs principally consist of one-time termination benefits and contractual

termination benefits for severance, other termination benefit costs, and stock-based compensation expense for the acceleration of equity awards.

The Company records restructuring charges based on whether the termination benefits are provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement or under a one-time benefit arrangement. The Company accounts for ongoing benefit arrangements, such as those documented by employment agreements, in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits ("ASC 712"). Under ASC 712, liabilities for post-employment benefits are recorded at the time the obligations are probable of being incurred and can be reasonably estimated. The Company accounts for one-time employment benefit arrangements in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. One-time termination benefits expenses are recorded at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Other associated costs are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions incorporated into valuation techniques. These valuations require significant judgment.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When there is more than one input at different levels within the hierarchy, the fair value is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires substantial judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have significant impact on fair value measurements.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). Application of this method of accounting requires that (i) identifiable assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed generally be measured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and (ii) the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. When the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the purchase price, the Company records a gain on bargain purchase in earnings in the period of acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets. Transaction costs, including legal, accounting, and integration expenses, are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Software Development Costs

Internal-Use Software

The Company capitalizes certain internal and external costs related to the acquisition and development of internal-use software or cloud computing arrangements during the application development stages of projects. The costs incurred for development of software intended for internal use and cloud computing arrangements are capitalized in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. These costs are included in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

When the software is ready for its intended use, the Company amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, typically three years, or, for cloud computing service arrangements, over the term of the hosting arrangement. Costs incurred during the preliminary project or the post-implementation/operation stages of the project are expensed as incurred.

Software Developed for Sale

The costs incurred for the development of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are capitalized in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, when technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility generally occurs when all planning, design, coding and testing activities are completed that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced

to meet its design specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements. The establishment of technological feasibility is an ongoing assessment of judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated economic life and changes in technology.

Capitalized software costs include direct labor and related expenses for software development for new products. Capitalized software costs are included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over periods of three years. Unamortized capitalized software development costs determined to be in excess of the net realizable value of the product are expensed immediately. Capitalized software costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in software technologies at each balance sheet date. In the event of impairment, unamortized capitalized software costs are compared to the net realizable value of the related product and the carrying value of the related assets are written down to the net realizable value to the extent the unamortized capitalized costs exceed such value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from the related product reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of such product, including the costs of providing related maintenance and customer support.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when the Company's customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products or services (the "transaction price"). Sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company's contracts with customers typically include multiple distinct products and services, and the Company allocates transaction price to these performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices ("SSP"). The SSP is determined at contract inception and is not updated to reflect changes between contract inception and when the performance obligations are satisfied. SSPs are generally determined using observable data from recent transactions. In cases where sufficient data is not available, the Company estimates a product’s SSP using a cost plus a margin approach.

Payment terms may vary by customer, are based on customary commercial terms, and are generally less than one year. The Company does not adjust revenue for the effects of a significant financing component for contracts where the period between the transfer of the good or service and collection is one year or less. The Company expenses incremental costs to obtain a contract when incurred since the amortization period of the asset that would otherwise be recognized is one year or less.

Product Revenue

The Company generates product revenue from the sale of instruments and consumables, including Integrated Fluidic Circuits and reagents. The Company generally recognizes product revenue at the point in time when control of the goods passes to the customer, and the Company has an enforceable right to payment. This generally occurs either when the product is shipped from one of the Company's facilities or when it arrives at the customer’s facility, based on the contractual terms. Customers do not have a unilateral right to return products after delivery. Invoices are generally issued at shipment or in advance of service and become due in 30 to 60 days.

Revenue from the sales of certain instruments that involve significant customization, which primarily includes sales of the SomaScan® equipment bundle, is recognized over time as the Company's performance creates an asset that the customer simultaneously controls (the instrument installation and customization occurs at the customer site). Revenue is recognized based on the progress made toward achieving the performance obligation utilizing an input method of costs incurred relative to total estimated costs.

The Company sometimes perform shipping and handling activities after control of the product passes to the customer. The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for these activities as product fulfillment activities rather than as separate performance obligations.

Services Revenue

The Company generates services revenue from the sale of lab services and field services. Lab services revenue is generated by performing the SomaScan® assay on customer samples to generate data on protein biomarkers. Lab services revenue is recognized at a point in time when the analysis data or report is delivered to the customer. SomaScan® services are sold at a fixed price per sample without any volume discounts, rebates, or refunds. The delivery of each assay data report is a separate performance obligation.

Field services revenue includes revenue from instrument service and support contracts. Revenue associated with these arrangements is recognized over time using a time-elapsed measure of progress, resulting in straight-line revenue recognition over the term of the agreement, which is generally one to four years. The Company measures progress using a time-elapsed measure of progress as the Company stands ready to provide service on demand throughout the term of the agreement. Invoices are generally issued in advance of service on a monthly, quarterly, annual or multi-year basis. Payments collected in advance of service are reported on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue.

Collaboration and Other Revenue

From time to time the Company enters into collaboration arrangements in which both parties are active participants in the arrangement and are exposed to the significant risks and rewards of the collaboration, in which case the collaboration is within the scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements. With such collaborations, the Company determines if any obligations are an output of the Company's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration, and if so, the Company applies ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), to such activities.

For other payments received from collaborative partners for other collaboration activities, which primarily include research and development activities, the Company analogizes to ASC 606. Revenue from such activities is recognized as the Company satisfies its obligations.

Other revenue consists of license and royalty revenue and grant revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from license agreements when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For contracts that include sales-based royalties, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.

The Company receives grants from various entities to perform research and development activities over contractually defined periods. Grant revenue is not accounted for under ASC 606, as the grant agreement is not with a customer. As there is no authoritative GAAP guidance for grants awarded to for-profit entities, the Company has applied the guidance in ASC 958, Not-for-Profit Entities by analogy. Revenue is generally recognized provided that the conditions under which the grants were provided have been met and any remaining performance obligations are perfunctory.

Warrant Liabilities

In connection with the merger described in Note 2, Business Combination, the Company assumed warrant liabilities for the warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering CM Life Sciences II Inc ("CMLS II"), the predecessor company of SomaLogic, Inc. ("SomaLogic"). CMLS II issued 5,519,991 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase shares of SomaLogic common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("SomaLogic Common Stock"), at $11.50 per share. Simultaneously, with the consummation of the CMLS II initial public offering, CMLS II issued 5,013,333 warrants through a private placement (the “Private Placement Warrants”, and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of SomaLogic Common Stock at $11.50 per share. As of January 5, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the Warrants converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, 1.11 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of SomaLogic Common Stock previously underlying the Warrants. The Public Warrants are no longer publicly traded and are now identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

The Warrants are classified as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 as these instruments are precluded from being indexed to the Company's own stock given that the terms allow for a settlement adjustment that does not meet the scope for the fixed-for-fixed exception in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Since the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-40, the Company recorded these warrants as long-term liabilities at fair value as of the Closing Date, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized within other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Segment Reporting

The Company manages its business through two reportable operating segments: proteomics and genomics. Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), its chief executive officer, assesses performance of operating segments and determines the allocation of resources based primarily on segment operating loss.

Recent Accounting Changes and Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments must be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-07 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and expects to include additional segment disclosures as a result of adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its income tax disclosures; however, adoption will not impact the Company's results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new standard requires additional disclosure of the nature of the expenses included in the income statement, including disaggregation of the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement into specific categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.

2. Business Combination

On the Closing Date, the Company completed the merger (the "Merger") with SomaLogic. As a result, SomaLogic and its subsidiaries became wholly owned subsidiaries of Standard BioTools. Upon completion of the Merger, each share of SomaLogic common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "SomaLogic Common Stock"), was exchanged for 1.11 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The fair value of the Company's common stock provided in exchange for SomaLogic Common Stock was approximately $419.2 million.

Purchase consideration also included replacement of equity awards attributable to pre-combination services. The acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred in the Merger totaled approximately $444.2 million, comprising the following:



SomaLogic Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 5, 2024		188,808
Fixed exchange ratio		1.11
Shares of Standard BioTools common stock issued to SomaLogic stockholders		209,577
Standard BioTools common stock price at close of Merger	$	2.00
Fair value of Standard BioTools common stock issued to SomaLogic stockholders	$	419,154
Fair value of Standard BioTools replacement equity awards attributable to pre-combination service		26,923
Less: Fair value of restricted shares subject to service conditions		(1,858	)
Total consideration transferred	$	444,219

The Company accounted for the Merger as a business combination, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of SomaLogic were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and consolidated with those of the Company. The following table reflects the preliminary allocation of consideration transferred to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the Closing Date:



Total consideration	$	444,219

Assets acquired
Cash and cash equivalents		278,857
Short-term investments		148,305
Accounts receivable		16,430
Inventory		14,642
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		4,835
Property and equipment		22,455
Non-current inventory		12,208
Royalty receivable		4,669
Operating lease right-of-use assets		3,796
Other non-current assets		1,590
Intangible Assets		25,500
Total assets acquired		533,287
Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		20,660
Operating lease liabilities, current		1,601
Deferred revenue, current		3,522
Operating lease liabilities, non-current		2,193
Deferred revenue, non-current		30,667
Warrant liabilities		906
Other non-current liabilities		4,306
Total Liabilities		63,855
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	469,432
Gain on bargain purchase	$	(25,213	)

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred, resulting in a bargain purchase gain. Before recognizing a gain on a bargain purchase, management reassessed the methods used in the acquisition accounting and verified that management had identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed, and that there were no additional assets or liabilities to be considered. Management also reassessed the procedures used to measure amounts recognized at the Closing Date to ensure that the measurements reflected all consideration transferred based on available information as of the Closing Date. Management determined that the bargain purchase gain was primarily attributable to a rapid decline in the price of the Company's common stock in the days following the announcement of the Merger, which persisted through the close of the Merger. The bargain purchase gain is separately stated below income from operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations and are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period (up to one year from the Closing Date).

The identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of developed technology, customer relationships, and tradename. The fair values of the developed technology and customer relationships were estimated using variations of the multi-period excess earnings method, which isolates the net earnings attributable to the asset being measured. The fair value of the SomaLogic trade name was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which determines the present value of license fees avoided by owning the trade name. The useful lives of acquired intangibles was estimated based on the contractual terms or period over which approximately 85% to 90% of the cumulative discounted cash flows would be realized, depending on the nature of the asset. The valuation of the intangible assets acquired in connection with the Merger, along with their estimated useful lives, is as follows (in thousands):


	Fair Value		Useful Life
Developed technology	$	20,000	9 years
Trade name		2,750	7 years
Customer relationships		2,750	11 years
Total fair value of intangible assets acquired	$	25,500

As a result of the Merger, the Company incurred $1.9 million of transaction bonuses recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, the Company incurred $12.3 million of acquisition-related transaction costs reflected in transaction and integration expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company and SomaLogic, as if the companies were combined as of January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 combines the Company's financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the historical results of SomaLogic for the 5-day period ended on the Closing Date. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 combines the historical results of the Company and SomaLogic for their respective three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023. The pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 has been adjusted to include certain nonrecurring impacts associated with the Merger, including the bargain purchase gain and transaction costs. These same impacts have been eliminated from the pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented includes the business combination accounting effects resulting from the Merger, mainly including adjustments to reflect additional amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, adjustments to stock-based compensation expense, and additional depreciation expense from the acquired property and equipment. The unaudited pro forma financial information as presented below is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 2023.


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Revenue	$	44,969		$	47,415		$	128,359		$	141,047
Net loss	$	(26,938	)	$	(41,204	)	$	(134,607	)	$	(109,000	)

The results of SomaLogic have been consolidated with the Company's results since the Closing Date. For the period of January 6, 2024 to September 30, 2024, SomaLogic contributed revenue and loss of $61.5 million and $30.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, SomaLogic contributed revenue and loss of $22.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Illumina Cambridge, Ltd.

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a multi-year arrangement with Illumina Cambridge, Ltd. ("Illumina"), originally entered into by SomaLogic and Illumina in December 2021 (the "Illumina Agreement"), to jointly develop and commercialize co-branded kits that will combine Illumina's Next Generation Sequencing ("NGS") technology with SomaScan® technology (the "Co-Branded Kits"). Pursuant to the Illumina Agreement, SomaLogic received a non-refundable upfront payment of $30.0 million in January 2022. Subsequent to executing the Illumina Agreement, Illumina paid an additional $0.5 million to purchase the equipment, supplies and training necessary to run the SomaScan® assay at their facilities, representing a modification to the Illumina Agreement. As of the Closing Date, the Company determined that the transaction price of the Illumina Agreement was $30.5 million. Subsequent to commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits, the Company is entitled to receive $124.5 million of minimum guaranteed royalties through the term of the Illumina Agreement. No royalties were included in the Illumina transaction price as probability of commercialization had not been achieved as of the Closing Date.

Subsequent to commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits, Illumina has the right to purchase SOMAmer reagents below SSP through the remaining term of the Illumina Agreement, which will continue for approximately 8 years following commercialization. Illumina's option to purchase SOMAmer reagents below SSP for this period represents a significant material right (the "Material Right"). As of the Closing Date, the Company allocated $30.4 million of the Illumina transaction price to the Material Right, which will be recognized as revenue as Illumina purchases SOMAmer reagents post commercialization.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined that commercialization of the Co-Branded Kits is probable due to the launch of an early-access program, and adjusted the transaction price to include $127.9 million of royalties expected to be received from 2025 through 2032. The Company allocated $0.4 million of the adjusted transaction price to satisfy performance obligations, and recognized that amount as revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. The total transaction price of the Illumina Agreement as adjusted is $158.4 million. Substantially all of the transaction price is allocated to the Material Right, which the Company expects to recognize as revenue over an 8-year period from 2025 through 2032.

NEC Corporation

Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a joint development and commercialization agreement (the "JDCA") with NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd. ("NEC"), originally entered into by SomaLogic and NEC in March 2020, to develop and commercialize SomaScan® services in Japan. The JDCA is within the scope of ASC 808 as both companies are active participants and are exposed to significant rewards and risks dependent on commercial failure or success, and is accounted for by analogy to ASC 606.

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed certain contract liabilities and recorded $1.8 million of deferred revenue as of the Closing Date. Under the JDCA, the Company was entitled to receive $2.0 million in exchange for research and development services, which was received in April 2024. As of September 30, 2024, deferred revenue related to the JDCA was $1.5 million, which is expected to be fully recognized by March 31, 2025.

New England Biolabs, Inc.

Also in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with New England Biolabs, Inc. ("NEB"), originally entered into by SomaLogic and NEB in September 2022 (the "License Agreement"), whereby the Company provides a license to use certain proprietary information and know-how relating to SomaLogic's aptamer technology. Under the License Agreement, the Company is guaranteed fixed minimum royalties of $8.7 million to be received through September 2025. No revenue related to the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties will be recognized, as all revenue related to the receivable was recognized by SomaLogic prior to the Merger. Any revenue above the guaranteed fixed minimum royalties will be recognized in the period in which the subsequent sale or usage has occurred. As of September 30, 2024, royalties receivable related to this agreement were $8.2 million, including a current and non-current portion of $4.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Unfulfilled Performance Obligations

A summary of the change in deferred revenue is as follows (in thousands):

Deferred Grant Income

In September 2020, the Company executed a contract with the National Institutes of Health ("NIH") under NIH’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics program to support the expansion of the Company’s production capacity for its COVID-19 test products. Under the now-completed contract, the Company received $34.0 million of funding from the NIH and used $22.2 million on capital expenditures for its Singapore manufacturing facility. The amortization of the deferred income, which is offset against depreciation, was $0.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $2.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Cumulative amounts applied against depreciation expense for these assets placed in service were $10.5 million and $7.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and the carrying values of these assets were $11.7 million and $14.4 million as of these same dates, respectively.

The current portion of deferred grant income on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets represents amounts expected to be offset against depreciation expense over the next twelve months. The non-current portion of deferred grant income includes amounts expected to be offset against depreciation expense in later periods.

Convertible Notes

In February 2014, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 2014 Senior Convertible Notes (the "2014 Notes"), which will mature on February 1, 2034, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Notes. Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2014 Notes beginning on February 6, 2029 at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2014 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. In March 2024, the Company repurchased $0.3 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2014 Notes.

In November 2019, the Company issued $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Senior Convertible Notes (the "2019 Notes" and together with the 2014 Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). Net proceeds from the 2019 Notes issuance of $52.7 million, after deductions for commissions and other debt issuance costs, were used to retire all but $1.1 million of the aggregate principal value of the 2014 Notes then outstanding. The 2019 Notes bear interest at 5.25% per annum, payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2019 Notes will mature on December 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted pursuant to their terms. The 2019 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any point prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate of the 2019 Notes is 344.8276 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.90 per share). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Those certain specified events include conversion of the 2019 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, entitling the holders, under certain circumstances, to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate determined by reference to a make-whole table set forth in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes. The conversion rate will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2019 Notes are convertible at the Company’s option in whole but not in part into shares of the Company’s common stock upon certain conditions if the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock has equaled or exceeded 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified number of days.

Offering-related costs related to the Convertible Notes were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are recorded as an offset to the carrying value of the 2019 Notes.

The carrying values of the Convertible Notes approximate fair values as the interest rate and terms are reflective of the rate the Company could obtain on debt with similar terms and conditions. The Convertible Notes are not regularly traded and there is no

public market for the Convertible Notes. The estimated fair values for the Convertible Notes represent Level 3 valuations since the fair values for the Convertible Notes cannot be determined by using readily observable inputs or measures, such as market prices.

Term Loan Facility, net

On August 2, 2021, the Company amended its revolving credit facility to, amongst other things, provide for a new $10.0 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"). As of December 31, 2023, the Term Loan Facility was fully drawn with an outstanding principal balance of $7.9 million and a carrying value of $8.4 million. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was the greater of 4.0% per annum or a floating per annum rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.75%. Interest on any outstanding term loan advances was due and payable monthly. In addition to the monthly interest payments, a final payment equal to 6.5% of the original principal amount of each advance was due the earlier of the maturity date or the date the advance is repaid. Principal balances were required to be repaid in 24 equal installments which began on August 1, 2023. The stated maturity of the Term Loan Facility was July 1, 2025.

On March 4, 2024, the Company fully repaid all outstanding indebtedness owed pursuant to the Term Loan Facility and terminated the agreement.

7. Leases

In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed three leases for office and laboratory space, with lease terms of three to five years. One of the assumed leases expired on June 30, 2024 and has not been renewed. The remaining leases require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. The remaining leases also include renewal options at the Company's election to renew or extend the leases for additional periods ranging from three to ten years.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various contractual and legally binding purchase commitments. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's open commitments totaled $16.2 million.

In connection with the Illumina Agreement, SomaLogic, and now the Company, is required to engage with two contract manufacturing organizations in order to ensure manufacturing capacity. In 2023, SomaLogic contracted with Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (“IDT”) to manufacture custom products. Under the contract manufacturing agreement with IDT, SomaLogic committed to minimum annual purchases of $2.3 million, which obligation the Company subsumed in connection with the Merger. As the minimum contract term is three years, the total purchase commitment related to the Illumina Agreement is $6.9 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not yet began placing orders under the Illumina Agreement.

The Company has entered into several license and patent agreements. Under these agreements, the Company pays annual license maintenance fees, non-refundable license issuance fees, and royalties as a percentage of net sales for the sale or sublicense of products using the licensed technology. Future payments related to these license agreements have not been included in the open commitments above, as the period of time over which the future license payments will be required to be made, and the amount of such payments, are indeterminable. The Company does not expect the license payments to be material in any particular year.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers, directors and certain other employees. With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among others, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, contract law, tax, regulatory, distribution arrangements, employee relations and other matters. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and a range of possible loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss.

Stockholder Litigation

On December 12, 2023 two separate stockholder complaints were filed in the District of Delaware. The complaints asserted claims under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act for allegedly causing the filing with the SEC on November 14, 2023 of a materially deficient registration statement on Form S-4. Among other remedies, the plaintiffs sought to enjoin a stockholder vote on the proposed Merger. These complaints were voluntarily dismissed. On December 13, 2023, a complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against SomaLogic and certain officers and directors alleging Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Aiding and Abetting Breach of Fiduciary Duty. This complaint also sought an injunction postponing the proposed business combination between SomaLogic and the Company, which was denied by the Court on January 4, 2024. An amended complaint was filed on June 20, 2024, containing primarily the same allegations, while removing some of the defendants. The remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss on July 5, 2024, and served an opening brief on August 19, 2024. The Plaintiffs’ opposition brief is due on November 1, 2024, and the defendants’ reply brief is due on December 13, 2024. No date for oral argument has been set. Litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance regarding the outcome. Whether or not any plaintiffs’ claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.

Between October 24, 2023 and January 3, 2024, SomaLogic received 18 letters from purported stockholders demanding that SomaLogic allow the inspection of its books and records and/or make corrective disclosures to its registration statement. The Company has resolved fee disputes with all but two stockholder’s counsel.

In February 2024, the Company settled previously outstanding litigation with a former stockholder of SomaLogic, whereby the Company relinquished 422,048 shares of the Company's common stock that were subject to vesting conditions.

In May 2024, the Company settled previously outstanding litigation with former stockholders of SomaLogic for $6.2 million consisting of the repurchase of approximately 1.84 million shares of the Company's common stock from the stockholders at the market price of $2.40 per share, and a cash payment of $1.8 million. The Company recognized a litigation loss of $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On June 4, 2024, the Company received a demand pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law from a stockholder to inspect the Company’s books and records relating to the prior conversion of the Company’s Series B preferred stock. The Company has responded to the demand and has produced documents.

Additional lawsuits against us and certain of our officers or directors may be filed in the future. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, we will not necessarily announce such additional filings.

In the normal course of business, the Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings or potential legal proceedings, including matters involving employment, intellectual property, or others. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that the final outcome of any currently pending matters would not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company continues to reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates.

Other Contingencies

Following the Merger, the Company is responsible for SomaLogic’s liabilities and obligations, including with respect to legal, financial, regulatory, and compliance matters. These liabilities and obligations will result in additional cost and expense by the Company and, if the Company has underestimated the amount of these costs and expenses or if the Company fails to satisfy any such liabilities or obligations, the Company may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger and there may be an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Further, it is possible that there may be unknown, contingent or other liabilities, obligations or other problems that may arise in the future, the existence and/or magnitude of which the Company was previously unaware. Any such liabilities, obligations or other problems could have an adverse effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to these additional matters, the Company is not able to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could be incurred.

As of September 30, 2024, none of the available-for-sale securities held have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. The Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. No allowance for credit losses was recorded.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table presents information about the Company's liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs we utilized to determine such fair value:



Fair value of warrant liabilities as of Closing Date	$	906
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities		(474	)
Fair value of warrant liabilities as of September 30, 2024	$	432

Warrant liabilities

The Warrants were valued using Level 2 inputs as of the Closing Date as the Public Warrants were actively traded at that date. Therefore, the Company had directly observable prices for identical instruments as of the Closing Date. Following the Closing Date, and as of September 30, 2024, the Public Warrants were no longer publicly traded (see Note 1), so the Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model (a special case of the income approach), using the following Level 3 inputs:


	September 30, 2024
Volatility		70.2	%
Risk-free rate		3.65	%
Warrant term		1.9

10. Mezzanine Equity

Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock

On March 18, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Casdin Private Growth Equity Fund II, L.P. and Casdin Partners Master Fund, L.P. (together, "Casdin"), and Viking Global Opportunities Illiquid Investments Sub Master LP and Viking Global Opportunities Drawdown LP (together, “Viking” and, collectively with Casdin, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Investors exchanged (the “Exchange”) an aggregate of (i) 127,780 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”), and (ii) 127,779 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”), representing all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, for an aggregate of 92,930,553 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Exchange was completed on March 18, 2024. Following the closing of the Exchange, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock remained outstanding, and the Company had no amounts recorded in mezzanine equity.

On June 18, 2024, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280321), which became effective on June 27, 2024, registering the resale of 105,116,628 shares of common stock, including the shares of common stock which were issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in the Exchange.

The Exchange was considered to be an induced conversion of preferred stock as the Investors received a lower conversion price, and were issued more shares of common stock than provided under the original terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with the Investors. The $46.0 million difference between the fair value of the inducement and the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock was recognized to the Company's accumulated deficit during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

11. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

2024 Stock Repurchase Program

On February 6, 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "2024 Share Repurchase Program") pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock in the open market, in one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or in negotiated transactions through March 1, 2026. The repurchases are contingent upon favorable market and business conditions and are funded by cash on hand. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 13,603,617 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $36.1 million under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

12. Stock-based Compensation

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in our 2023 Financial Statements.

Upon completion of the Merger, the Company assumed SomaLogic's stock incentive plans. In addition, all outstanding options to purchase SomaLogic Common Stock and all restricted stock units in respect of shares of SomaLogic Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger were automatically adjusted by the exchange ratio of 1.11 and converted into an equity award of the same type covering shares of the Company's common stock, on the same terms and conditions (including any continuing vesting requirements), under the applicable Company plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the completion of the Merger.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded nil and $6.2 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense due to the acceleration of awards for certain SomaLogic executives in connection with the Merger.

Restricted Stock Units


	Number of Units (in thousands)			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Balance at December 31, 2023		6,933		$	2.46
Assumed through acquisition		2,970			2.00
Granted		10,263			2.21

Forfeited		(1,728	)		2.30
Balance at September 30, 2024		14,436		$	2.24

As of September 30, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Company’s equity incentive plans was $29.8 million. The Company expects to recognize the expense over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

Stock Options


	Number of Options (in thousands)			Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Option		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2023		9,294		$	3.62		8.5
Assumed through acquisition		28,184			4.80
Granted		6,697			2.50

Unvested options at September 30, 2024		12,222		$	3.10		8.7	$	103

(1)

Aggregate intrinsic value as of September 30, 2024 was calculated as the difference between the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on September 30, 2024, which was $1.93, and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was nil and $0.6 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was immaterial. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding unvested options under the Company’s equity incentive plans were $22.5 million. The Company expects to recognize those costs over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Performance-based Awards

In July 2023, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") to certain executive officers that vest based upon the achievement of specified revenue and EBITDA targets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and the executive’s continued employment with the Company. Stock-based compensation expense is being recognized over the requisite service period, as it is deemed probable the Company will satisfy the performance measures. Certain of the specified revenue and EBITDA targets were met and the PSUs vested and were released from restriction in April 2024.

Activity under the performance-based awards was as follows:


	Number of Units (in thousands)			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit
Balance at December 31, 2023		309		$	2.42
PSU granted		100			2.25

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	5,921	$	3,386	$	24,262	$	9,648

13. Net Loss Per Share

The Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss less any redemption or induced conversion on the Series B Preferred Stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. RSUs, PSUs, options to purchase the Company’s common stock, restricted stock, Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") shares pending issuance, Series B Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

As described above, on March 18, 2024, the Company consummated the Exchange in which all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for an aggregate of 92,930,553 shares of the Company's common stock. This transaction was determined to be an induced conversion due a reduction in the original conversion price. The excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the fair value of shares issuable under original terms represents an in-substance distribution to the Investors, and was included as a reduction to the numerator in calculating earnings per share.

Computation of net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Numerator:
Net loss from operations	$	(26,938	)	$	(20,997	)	$	(104,813	)	$	(54,880	)

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(0.07	)	$	(0.27	)	$	(0.44	)	$	(0.69	)

The following potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023
RSUs, PSUs, stock options, restricted shares and ESPP shares		54,664		16,872
Series B Preferred Stock		—		75,164
2019 Notes(1)		18,966		18,966
2014 Notes		5		10
Warrants		11,692		—
Total		85,327		111,012

(1)

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including voluntary conversion of the 2019 Notes prior to the Company’s exercise of the Issuer’s Conversion Option (as defined in the 2019 Notes) or in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, entitling the holders, under certain circumstances, to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate determined based on the effective date and current price of the Company’s common stock, subject to a minimum and maximum price per share. The maximum number of additional shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued under the make-whole premium is 4,741,374 shares. Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the 2019 Notes.

The 175,910 shares of the Company's common stock that were repurchased during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and the 15,448,533 and 2,634,594 shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, have also been excluded from the Company's net loss per share and diluted net loss per share calculations.

14. Income Taxes

The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The quarterly provision for income taxes also includes discrete items, such as changes in valuation allowances or adjustments upon finalization of tax returns as well as infrequently occurring items, if any, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the Company's tax provision reflects the effect of the Company's foreign operations, which reported lower pre-tax income in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods differ from the 21% U.S. Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on domestic losses and the tax rate differences between the United States and foreign countries. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

15. Segment Reporting

The Company operates in two reportable segments: proteomics and genomics. Each segment is identified by its unique portfolio of products. Proteomics includes instruments, consumables, software, and services based upon technologies used in the identification of proteins. Genomics includes instruments, consumables, software, and services based upon technologies used in the identification of genes (DNA, RNA) and their functions.

During the first quarter of 2024, the CODM began using operating income to measure the operating performance of the segments. The Company determines each segment’s operating income by subtracting direct expenses, including cost of revenues, research and development expense, and sales and marketing expense, from revenues. Amortization, depreciation, and restructuring charges are included in each segment’s operating expenses. Corporate costs, including general and administrative expenses for functions shared by both operating segments such as executive management, human resources, and finance, along with interest and taxes, and transaction and integration expenses are excluded from each segment’s results, which is consistent with how our CODM evaluates segment performance.

The Company does not prepare or report segmented balance sheet information as the CODM does not use the information to assess segment operating performance. The segments adhere to the same accounting policies as the Company as a whole.

The Company’s business segment information was as follows (in thousands):

16. Restructuring and Related Charges

In April 2024, following a strategic review of the combined business after completion of the Merger, the Company announced a workforce reduction plan (the "Strategic Reorganization") to reduce operating costs and focus on long-term growth opportunities. Under this Strategic Reorganization, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 10% of its total workforce, with the majority of these employees separating by July 2024. Employees who were impacted by the Strategic Reorganization were eligible to receive severance and other benefits contingent upon an impacted employee's execution of a separation agreement. Certain impacted employees were covered by employment agreements or existing severance plans that provided termination benefits.

One-time termination benefits were recorded pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, while termination benefits under ongoing benefit arrangement were recorded pursuant to ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

The Company recognized restructuring charges of approximately $2.3 million and $12.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to a restructuring plan implemented after the Merger to integrate operations and realize synergies.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized restructuring and related charges of $2.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, related to a restructuring plan implemented in 2022 to improve the Company's operational efficiency.

The Company also continues to recognize ongoing restructuring charges from its restructuring plans for facility-related costs, which will continue through the termination of the facility leases.

The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s restructuring and other related liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):


	Severance and other employee- related benefits(1)			Facility Costs			Other(2)			Total

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited financial information and the notes thereto included appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited financial information and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “Standard BioTools” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Standard BioTools Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our SomaScan® Platform, together with our industry-leading single-cell proteomics and spatial proteomics solutions, comprise a comprehensive services offering to customers working to identify biomarkers of predictive response, mechanism of action, and patient stratification in their studies.

We distribute our instruments through our direct sales force and support organizations located in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, and through distributors or sales agents in several European, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Asia-Pacific countries. We also offer lab services where we use our instruments, especially the SomaScan® Platform, to analyze customer samples within our own facility. Additionally, we have authorized third-party sites globally to conduct SomaScan® assays using our proprietary technology.

We work with leading academic, government, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, plant and animal research, and clinical laboratories worldwide, focusing on the most pressing needs in translational and clinical research, including oncology, immunology, and immunotherapy.

Recent Developments

Our leadership team identified three strategic priorities: revenue growth, improving operating discipline and strategic capital allocation, as more fully discussed in Part I Item 1 “Business” in our Annual Report.

Merger

On January 5, 2024, we completed the Merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 4, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among us, SomaLogic and Martis Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into SomaLogic, with SomaLogic surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of SomaLogic Common Stock converted into the right to receive 1.11 shares of our common stock.

In addition, as of the Effective Time, we assumed each SomaLogic stock incentive plan, outstanding option to purchase shares of SomaLogic Common Stock and outstanding RSUs, whether vested or unvested. In addition, as of the Effective Time, each SomaLogic warrant was treated in accordance with its terms.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

The following factors have been important to our business and we expect them to impact our results of operations and financial condition in future periods:

•

Continued adoption of our services and products:

We have a well-established base of marquee customer and key opinion leader (“KOL”) relationships in place, and as we grow further, we expect to win contracts with new customers and expand the scope of existing contracts with existing customers.

We continue to focus on growth in instrument placements, including the SomaScan® authorized sites ("Authorized Sites") program, which we expect to drive future growth in sales of consumables, SomaScan® assay kits, and field services.

We continue to enhance our proteomics offering through continuous improvements to our proteomics instruments, and the commercial release of the LabThread SLX, which is a fully integrated system optimized for running the SomaScan® assay.

Total revenue may vary from period to period based on, among other things, the timing and size of new contracts, fluctuations in customer consumption of and adoption trends, ramp time and productivity of our salesforce, the impact of significant transactions, and seasonality. Failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities or improve the productivity of our sales and marketing organization could harm our ability to expand our potential customer and sales pipeline, increase our customer base, and achieve broader market acceptance of our offering.

•

Continued investment in growth:

We continue to invest significantly in our laboratory process and commercial infrastructure.

Investments in research and development will include hiring of employees with the necessary scientific and technical backgrounds to enable enhancements to our existing services and products and bring new services and products to market.

•

Ability to lower operating costs:

As we integrate with SomaLogic, we continue to focus on improving operating discipline through implementation of lean Standard BioTools Business System principles to build more efficient operations and reduce costs.

We intend to reduce the cost of manufacturing SOMAmer® reagents by, in part, modifying our assays and laboratory processes to use materials and technologies that provide equal or greater quality at lower cost, improving how we manage our materials and negotiating favorable terms for our materials purchases.

We intend to reduce the cost of performing the SomaScan® assay as we move to either a less expensive array or NGS system for our DNA readout of the protein concentrations present in a sample.

We expect general and administrative expenses to trend downward during the second half of 2024 as we reduce headcount and realize synergies from the Merger.

•

Seasonality:

Our revenue can be seasonal dependent upon the procurement and budgeting cycles of many of our customers, especially government- or grant-funded customers, whose cycles often coincide with government fiscal year ends.

•

Expansion of our proteomic content:

The SomaScan® 11K Platform now includes protein measurements on a broader range of sample types, including cerebrospinal fluid, aqueous humor, tissue homogenates and cell lysates. The SomaScan® Platform provides the largest number of protein measurements and the greatest number of orthogonally confirmed protein reagents in the proteomics industry —11,000 protein measurements simultaneously from sample volumes as low as 55 µl—giving researchers access to half of the human proteome in just one assay.

To maintain our competitive advantage in the proteomics market, we plan to increase the number of protein reagents for commercial availability based on allocated funding, resource availability, and the successful validation of new reagents.

We continue to expand our proteomics database and artificial intelligence and machine learning analytics to drive value and market opportunities.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We generate our revenue from three primary sources: (1) product revenue, (2) lab services revenue, and (3) field services revenues. We also derive revenue from collaborative arrangements, license agreements, grants, and royalties. Customers include top biopharmaceutical companies and leading academic research universities.

Product revenue

We generate product revenue from the sale of instruments and consumables. Consumables revenue is largely driven by the size of our active installed base of instruments and the level of usage per instrument. Consumables revenue is also driven by the sale of SomaScan® assay kits, which is driven by the number of active SomaScan® Authorized Sites and the number of assays performed at those sites.

Service revenue

We generate service revenue from the sale of lab services and field services. Lab services revenue is primarily generated by performing the SomaScan® assay on customer samples to generate data on protein biomarkers. We expect lab services revenue to increase over the long-term with new and recurring sales opportunities. With the enhancement of our proteomic services, we expect to capture more market opportunities outside of the United States region, as well as winning contracts with new customers and expanding the scope of sales with existing customers.

Field services revenue primarily consists of post-warranty service contracts, preventive maintenance plans, installation and training for our instruments. We expect the average selling prices of our products and services to fluctuate over time based on market conditions, product mix and currency fluctuations.

Collaboration and other revenue

Collaboration and other revenue consists of fees earned for research and development services, except for grant revenue research and development services that are classified in other revenue. We believe expanding collaborative arrangements with KOLs will allow for further enhancements of our integrated platform, lower barriers to adoption and introduce or expand new market channels and customers within geographic regions and markets we do not currently operate in.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of product revenue

Cost of product revenue consists primarily of raw materials, equipment and production costs, salaries and other personnel costs, overhead and other direct costs related to product revenue. In addition, cost of product revenue includes amortization of developed technology, royalty costs for licensed technologies included in our products, warranty costs, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, and stock-based compensation expense, and shipping and handling costs. Cost of product revenue is recognized in the period the related revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs incurred for product shipments are included in cost of product revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Our cost of product revenue and related product margin may fluctuate depending on the capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities in response to market conditions and the demand for our products.

Cost of service revenue

Cost of service revenue consists of raw materials and production costs, personnel-related costs, overhead and other direct costs. It also includes costs for production variances for SOMAmer® reagents, such as yield losses, material usages, spending and capacity variances. Cost of service revenue is recognized in the period the related revenue is recognized.

Our cost of service revenue and related service margin may fluctuate depending on the variability in material and labor costs of servicing.

Research and Development ("R&D")

R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs related to enhancing our technologies and supporting development and commercialization of new and existing products and services. R&D expenses also consist of laboratory supply costs, clinical study costs, consulting fees, and other allocated overhead expenses. We plan to continue to invest significantly in our R&D efforts, including hiring additional employees, with an expected focus on advancing our proteomics products and services. As a result, we expect R&D expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.

Selling, General, and Administrative ("SG&A")

SG&A expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our sales and marketing, business development, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and general management teams, as well as professional services, including legal and accounting services.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Restructuring and related charges primarily consist of severance costs related to our recent reduction-in-force and facilities costs for floors we have subleased or have the intent to sublease (net of sublease income) under our facility lease in South San Francisco. These costs, including a reduction-in-force, are incurred to improve operational efficiency, achieve cost savings and align our workforce to the future needs of the business. In addition to the reduction-in-force, we are reducing leased office space, optimizing our manufacturing footprint and streamlining support functions.

Transaction and Integration Expenses

Transaction and integration expenses consist of costs incurred in connection with acquisition-related activities, including legal, advisory, accounting and other transaction-related costs including integration costs.

Bargain Purchase Gain

Bargain purchase gain represents the excess of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the fair value of the consideration transferred in connection with the Merger. We determined that the bargain purchase gain was primarily attributable to a rapid decline in our stock price in the days following the announcement of the Merger, which persisted through the close of the Merger.

Total revenue grew 77% to $45.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and grew 63% to $127.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Due to the acquisition of SomaLogic, revenue increased by $22.9 million and $61.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. These increases were offset by decreases of $3.3 million and $12.0 million in revenues from our legacy business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023.

Revenue by segment and as a percentage of total revenue were as follows ($ in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,								Year-over-			Nine Months Ended September 30,								Year-over-
	2024				2023				Year Change			2024				2023				Year Change
Proteomics revenue	$	34,565	77	%	$	14,008	55	%		147	%	$	98,954	77	%	$	47,296	61	%		109	%

Total proteomics revenue grew 147% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and grew 109% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our growth in proteomics was driven by the acquisition of SomaLogic, which expanded our proteomics capabilities, products and services.

Total genomics revenue decreased 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and decreased 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The continued decline in the genomics segment was anticipated, and is a driver of our continued focus on growing the OEM business and managing this segment to sustainable positive contribution margin in the near-term.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue, gross profit, and gross margin were as follows ($ in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Year-over-			Nine Months Ended September 30,						Year-over-
	2024			2023			Year Change			2024			2023			Year Change

Gross margin		51.7	%		44.0	%		7.8	%		48.8	%		47.5	%		1.4	%

Gross profit increased by $12.1 million, or 109%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased by $25.3 million, or 68%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in gross profit during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the impact from the Merger which resulted in increased revenue.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were as follows ($ in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Year-over-			Nine Months Ended September 30,				Year-over-
	2024		2023		Year Change			2024		2023		Year Change

Total operating expenses	$	54,979	$	32,326		70	%	$	204,776	$	92,307		122	%

Research and Development

R&D expense increased by $6.8 million, or 107%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased by $29.3 million, or 154%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the Merger in the first quarter of 2024, which included increased salaries and benefits expense and stock-based compensation expense due to the expanded global workforce headcount.

Selling, General and Administrative

SG&A expense increased by $12.1 million, or 54%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased by $52.8 million, or 80%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the impact of the Merger in the first quarter of 2024, which included increased salaries and benefits expense and stock-based compensation expense due to the expanded global workforce headcount.

Restructuring and Related Charges

Restructuring and related charges consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Year-over-			Nine Months Ended September 30,				Year-over-
	2024		2023		Year Change			2024		2023		Year Change
Severance and other termination benefits	$	1,511	$	546		177	%	$	9,522	$	1,892		403	%
Facilities and other		830		1,452		(43	)%		2,852		3,523		(19	)%
Total restructuring and related charges	$	2,341	$	1,998		17	%	$	12,374	$	5,415		129	%

Restructuring and related charges increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased by $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by increased severance and termination benefits in connection with reductions in headcount following the Merger.

Transaction and Integration Expenses

Transaction and integration expenses increased by $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and increased by $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the

same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to legal, advisory, accounting costs, and integration expenses incurred in connection with the Merger. The Company expects to incur additional integration costs in the future.

Bargain purchase gain

Bargain purchase gain increased by $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the consummation of the Merger in January 2024, which resulted in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Merger exceeding the fair value of the consideration transferred due to a decline in our stock price following the announcement of the Merger Agreement.

Interest Income, net

The increase in other income, net of $3.6 million and $12.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to the interest earned on increased balances of money market funds and short-term investments and higher interest rates, as well as a decrease in interest expense due to repayment of our term loan in March 2024. Money market funds balances and short-term investments increased as a result of the Merger with SomaLogic.

Income Tax Expense

We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in our tax provision reflects the effect of our foreign operations, which reported lower pre-tax income in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Our effective tax rates for both periods differ from the 21% U.S. Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets on domestic losses and the tax rate differences between the United States and foreign countries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have experienced operating losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit of $1,151.6 million as of September 30, 2024. To date, we have funded our operating losses primarily through equity offerings, term loans, convertible notes and redeemable preferred stock. Our ability to fund future operations and meet debt covenant requirements will depend upon our level of future revenue and operating cash flow and our ability to access additional funding through either equity offerings, issuances of debt instruments or both.

Our liquidity and capital requirements depend upon many factors, including market acceptance of our products and services; effectiveness of our business improvement initiatives and restructuring programs; costs of supporting sales growth, product quality, R&D and capital expenditures, including our ERP upgrade; and costs and timing of acquiring other businesses, assets or technologies.

We continually evaluate our liquidity requirements considering our operating needs, growth initiatives and capital resources. We expect that our existing liquidity and sources of capital will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our collective balances of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $366.3 million at September 30, 2024 and $114.9 million at December 31, 2023.

Capital Resources and Commitments

We enter into arrangements that serve as sources of capital and the associated contractual agreements may result in firm or contingent obligations of us. In addition to our common stockholders’ equity, our sources of capital primarily include debt and operating leases. Our operating lease arrangements require cash repayment and our convertible debt that matures on December 1, 2024 contains rights that may result in their conversion to our common stock prior to maturity. On March 4, 2024, we fully repaid all outstanding indebtedness owed pursuant to the Term Loan Facility and terminated the agreement.

We also enter into contractual and legally binding commitments to purchase goods. Most of these contracts are cancellable with little or no notice or penalty. However, once a vendor has incurred costs to fulfill a contract with us, and which costs cannot be otherwise deployed, we are liable for those costs upon cancellation.

Following the Merger, we assumed additional cash commitments, including a requirement under the agreement originally entered into by SomaLogic with Illumina Cambridge, Ltd. in December 2021, to engage with two contract manufacturing organizations in order to ensure manufacturing capacity. Specifically, we assumed minimum annual purchase commitments of $2.3 million with Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. ("IDT") who is contracted to manufacture custom products. As the minimum contract term is three years, our total purchase commitment related to the agreement is $6.9 million. As of September 30, 2024, we have not yet began placing orders under the agreement with IDT.

The terms and provisions of our debt and leases are more fully discussed in Notes 6 and 7, respectively, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flow Activity

Our cash flow summary was as follows ($ in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023
Cash flow summary:
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(129,395	)	$	(29,226	)
Net cash provided by investing activities		337,448			33,354
Net cash used in financing activities		(48,096	)		(5,806	)
Effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents		(518	)		(196	)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	159,439		$	(1,874	)

We derive cash flows from operations primarily by collecting amounts due from sales of our products and services, and fees earned under our product development and license agreements. Our cash flows from operating activities are also significantly influenced by our use of cash for operating expenses and working capital to support the business. We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operating activities as we have expanded our business and built our infrastructure, domestically and internationally.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used $62.4 million of net proceeds from the sales and maturities of short-term investments to help fund $129.4 million of net cash used in operating activities, $40.5 million of common stock repurchases, and $8.2 million of repayment of term loan and convertible notes.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used $36.1 million of net proceeds from the sales and maturities of short-term investments to help fund $29.2 million of net cash used in operating activities and $5.2 million of common stock repurchases.

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our routine business operations resulted in net cash outflows of $69.5 million. Our other uses of cash included payments of $39.4 million for transaction and integration costs, and payments of $10.0 million for restructuring costs.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $100.2 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily driven by the impact of the Merger, reflecting expanded global operations, as well as significant transaction, integration, and restructuring costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $337.4 million compared to $33.4 million used in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily reflects $280.0 million of cash and restricted cash acquired in the Merger, and $62.4 million of proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily reflects $36.1 million of proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $48.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our primary uses of cash in financing activities included common stock repurchases of $40.5 million, and payments of $8.2 million to settle our term loan and reduce the amount of our outstanding convertible notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our primary use of cash in financing activities included common stock repurchases of $5.2 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the value of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. We develop these estimates after considering historical transactions, the current economic environment and various other assumptions considered reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and judgments. Accounts that rely heavily on estimated information to determine their values include revenue, trade receivables, inventories, right-of-use assets, goodwill, long-lived intangible assets, lease liabilities, income tax liabilities (assets) and preferred equity. Refer to Item 7 in our Annual Report for additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates.

There have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report, other than as disclosed in Note 1 to our accompanying financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our interim Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information with respect to certain legal proceedings is included in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous uncertainties and risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The risks in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as employee relations, general economic conditions, global geopolitical events and international operations. Further, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may in the future materially and adversely affect our business, operations, liquidity and stock price. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition could suffer, the trading price of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On February 6, 2024, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”) pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock in the open market, in one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or in negotiated transactions through March 1, 2026. The repurchases are contingent upon favorable market and business conditions and are funded by cash on hand. The program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. As of September 30, 2024, we have repurchased 13,603,617 shares of our common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

The following table provides monthly information with respect to the shares of common stock repurchased by us during the three months ended September 30, 2024:
