While it is early in the process, and our industry is currently seeing macro headwinds, our team drove significant sequential improvement in core revenue growth and profitability in the second quarter,” said Mike Nassif , Neogen’s Chief Executive Officer and President. “As we look to the second half of the fiscal year, we remain highly focused on the integration of Petrifilm and optimization of sample collection manufacturing, as well as enhancing our solutions-based selling approach and implementing a continuous review of resource allocation across the enterprise. To accelerate this transition, we have recently strengthened our leadership team with world-class talent, including key additions to our commercial organization. These strategic hires will further align our focus on disciplined operational execution with our core objectives of reigniting revenue growth, improving profitability and delivering shareholder value.” Financial and Business Highlights Revenues for the second quarter were $224.7 million , a decrease of 2.8% compared to $231.3 million in the prior year. Core revenue, which excludes the impacts of foreign currency translation, as well as divestitures and discontinued product lines, increased by 2.9%. Divestitures and discontinued product lines represented a 6.6% negative impact, while foreign currency had a positive impact of 0.9%. Net Loss for the second quarter was $15.9 million , or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $456.3 million , or $(2.10) per diluted share, in the prior-year period. A non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the prior-year period did not repeat in the current period, resulting in a comparatively lower Net Loss. Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter was $22.6 million , or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $24.4 million , or $0.11 per diluted share, in the prior-year period, with the decline driven primarily by the lower level of operating income. Gross margin, expressed as a percentage of sales, was 47.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This compares to a gross margin of 49.0% in the same quarter a year ago, with the decrease primarily due to tariff costs, inventory write-offs and a negative impact from product mix. Adjusted EBITDA was $48.7 million in the second quarter, representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 21.7%, compared to $51.4 million and a margin of 22.2% in the prior-year period. The change in Adjusted EBITDA Margin was the result of the decline in gross margin, partially offset by a lower level of operating expenses. Food Safety Segment Revenues for the Food Safety segment were $165.6 million in the second quarter, an increase of 0.8% compared to $164.2 million in the prior year, consisting of a 4.1% core revenue increase, a 4.6% negative impact from divestitures and discontinued product lines, and a positive foreign currency impact of 1.3%. The segment's strongest core revenue growth was in Indicator Testing and Culture Media, which benefited from higher sales of sample collection products and Petrifilm. Core revenue growth in the Bacterial and General Sanitation product category was driven by pathogen detection products, while the Natural Toxins & Allergens product category had solid growth in sales of allergens products offset by a decline in sales of natural toxin test kits. Animal Safety Segment Revenues for the Animal Safety segment were $59.1 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 11.8% compared to $67.0 million in the prior year, consisting of a 0.1% core revenue increase, an 11.7% negative impact from divestitures and discontinued product lines, and a negative foreign currency impact of 0.2%. The segment’s core revenue growth was led by the Biosecurity product category, benefiting from strong growth in sales of insect control products. In the Company’s Veterinary Instruments & Disposables product category, lower revenue was primarily driven by a decline in sales of needles and syringes, while lower sales in the Life Sciences product category were due primarily to timing of the fulfillment of substrate purchases. On a global basis, the core revenue growth in the Company’s Genomics business was in the mid-single-digit range in the second quarter. Solid growth in bovine and other markets was partially offset by a decline in the companion animal market. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of November 30, 2025 , the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $145.3 million and total outstanding debt of $800.0 million , as well as committed borrowing capacity of $201.5 million . Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook The Company is raising its full-year outlook for fiscal year 2026. Revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $845 million to $855 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 is expected to be approximately $175 million . Capital expenditures continue to be expected to total approximately $50 million . 2Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The Company is not able to reconcile the Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, forecasted net income, on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain items that are necessary for such reconciliation, including (without limitation) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, integration-related expenses, restructuring and transformation-related costs, impairment charges, and the related tax effects of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors outside of the Company’s control, and could be material to the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide a probable significance of the unavailable information, but such unavailable information could have a potentially significant impact on the Company’s actual net income for fiscal year 2026.

release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may be different from non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. Our presentation of non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items, including any of the adjustments being made to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence of our GAAP results. Except as noted above with respect to our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are provided in the financial tables below. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that impact a comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of revenues for that period Management uses Adjusted Net Income as an additional measure of profitability. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses. Core revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that represents net sales for the period excluding the effects of foreign currency translation rates and the impacts of acquisitions and discontinued product lines, where applicable. Core revenue growth is presented to allow for a meaningful comparison of year-over-year performance without the volatility caused by foreign currency translation rates, or the incomparability that would be caused by the impact of an acquisition, disposal or product line discontinuation. See the footnotes to the reconciliation tables below for a description of the adjustments made to arrive at the applicable non-GAAP measure. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see below for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
