Executive summary
Revenue for Q1 2026 was $149 million, up 1% year-over-year, with organic revenue down 1% due to flat Multiomics and lower Sample Management Solutions.

Turnaround and operational initiatives are progressing, with acceleration expected in the second half of fiscal 2026.
Sale of B Medical Systems for $63 million announced, with $9 million deposit received and closing expected by March 31, 2026.
Net loss from continuing operations improved year-over-year, with a $10 million non-cash loss on assets held for sale.
Financial highlights
Gross margin was 44.1%, down 360 basis points year-over-year, mainly due to underutilized lab capacity and rework costs.

Non-GAAP EPS was $0.09, compared to $0.12 a year ago.
Operating expenses declined year-over-year, driven by lower SG&A, partially offset by higher R&D.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
