NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands except share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Inotiv, Inc. and its subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) (“We,” “Our,” “Us,” the “Company,” and “Inotiv”) comprise a leading contract research organization specializing in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services. The Company also manufactures scientific instruments for life sciences research, which it sells with related software for use by pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions.

On November 5, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Envigo RMS Holding Corp. (“Envigo acquisition”) by merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Envigo.

As a result of the Envigo transaction, the Company’s business now includes breeding, importing and selling research-quality animal models for use in laboratory tests, manufacturing and distributing standard and custom diets, distributing bedding and enrichment products, and providing other services associated with these products. With over 130 different species and strains, the Company is a global leader in the production and sale of some of the most widely used rodent research model strains, among other species. The Company maintains production and distribution facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), United Kingdom (“U.K.”), mainland Europe, and Israel.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and of the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2021 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

The acquisition of Envigo was transformational to the Company’s underlying business. As a result, certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform with current presentation, which more closely reflects management’s perspective of the business as it currently exists.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgements that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These include, but are not limited to, management estimates in the calculation and timing of revenue recognition, pension liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related valuation allowance. Although estimates are based upon management’s best estimate using historical experience, current events, and actions, actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company, including all subsidiaries and a VIE it consolidates in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates a VIE, as a result of the Envigo acquisition. The VIE does not have a material impact to net assets or net income.

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such interests as a portion of equity but separate from the Parent’s equity. The noncontrolling interests’ portion of net income (loss) is presented on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Table of Contents

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021. As a result of the Envigo acquisition, certain policies have been added or adjusted to reflect our combined business.

Pension Costs

As a result of the Envigo acquisition, the Company has a defined benefit pension plan for one of its U.K. subsidiaries.

The projected benefit obligation and funded position of the defined benefit plan is estimated by actuaries and the Company recognizes the funded status of its defined benefit plan on its consolidated balance sheet and recognizes gains and losses. Prior service costs or credits that arise during the period are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company measures plan assets and obligations as of the date of the Company’s year-end consolidated balance sheet; making assumptions to anticipate future events. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2021. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of the unfunded defined benefit plan obligation, among other items.

Additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements (see Note 13 – Defined Benefit Plan).

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented is comprised of consolidated net income (loss) plus the change in the cumulative translation adjustment equity account and the adjustments, net of tax, for the current year actuarial gains (losses) in connection with the Company’s defined benefit plan.

Foreign Currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity are recorded at the rates of exchange on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date and the related transaction gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of operations, in Operating income. The Company records gains and losses from re-measuring intercompany loans separately in Foreign exchange gain (loss) in the consolidated statement of operations.

The results of operations of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, capital accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and retained earnings are translated at the weighted average of historical rates. Translation adjustments are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded as a separate component of equity within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements.

2. EQUITY

Common Stock Offering

On April 23, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 3,044,117 of our common shares, including 397,058 common shares sold pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriter of its option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments. All of the shares were sold at a price to the public of $17.00 per share. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $49.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.

On November 4, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized Common Shares from 20,000,000 shares, consisting of 19,000,000 Common Shares and 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, to 75,000,000 shares, consisting of 74,000,000 Common Shares and 1,000,000 Preferred Shares. Approval of this matter by the Inotiv shareholders was a condition to the closing of the Envigo acquisition (described below). The amendment was effective on November 4, 2021. On November 4, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for awards thereunder by 1,500,000

Table of Contents

shares and to make certain corresponding changes to the plan. At December 31, 2021, 1,820,933 shares remained available for grants under the Equity Plan.

Stock Issued in Connection with Acquisitions

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, 8,374,138 common shares were issued in relation to acquisitions. See Note 10 for further discussion of consideration for each acquisition.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company expenses the estimated fair value of stock options over the vesting periods of the grants. The Company recognizes expense for awards subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method. The Company adopted a change in accounting policy effective October 1, 2020 for forfeitures. Prior to October 1, 2020, stock-based compensation expense was reduced for estimated forfeitures, and if necessary, an adjustment was recognized in future periods if actual forfeitures differed from those estimates. The accounting change was made prospectively; therefore, stock-based compensation for equity grants subsequent to October 1, 2020, will not be reduced for estimated forfeitures as expense will be adjusted in the period that a forfeiture occurs. The Company believes that this accounting change will more accurately account for expense relating to forfeitures. The Company has assessed the cumulative effect of this change in accounting policy and has deemed the impact to be immaterial; therefore, an adjustment has not been recorded to beginning retained earnings. Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended December 30, 2021 and 2020, was $23,932 and $181, respectively. Of the $23,932 stock compensation expense, $23,014 relates to post-combination expense recognized in connection with the Envigo transaction (see Note 10 – Business Combinations), which is inclusive of $4,772 of cash.

3. LOSS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company computes diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method for preferred shares, if any, and the treasury stock method for stock options, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company only had dilutive potential common shares, which related to shares issuable upon exercise of options. Shares issuable upon exercise of 1,654,270 options were not considered in computing diluted income (loss) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2021 because they were anti-dilutive. Additionally, there are 3,040,268 shares issuable upon conversion in connection with the convertible debt entered into on September 27, 2021. The Company computes diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method for the shares issuable in connection with the convertible debt. These shares were not considered in computing diluted (loss) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2021 because they were anti-dilutive. Shares issuable upon exercise of 704,340 options and 12 common shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares were not considered in computing diluted (loss) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2020 because they were anti-dilutive.

The following table reconciles the computation of basic net loss per share to diluted loss per share:

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Due to the Envigo acquisition, the Company reports its results in two reportable segments – Discovery and Safety Assessment (DSA) and Research Models and Services (RMS).

The DSA segment provides preclinical research services on a contract basis directly to biopharma and pharmaceutical companies as well as certain research products. Preclinical research services include screening and pharmacological testing, nonclinical safety testing, formulation development, regulatory compliance and quality control testing, which are services required to take a drug through the early development process including discovery services, which are non-regulated services to assist clients with the identification, screening, and selection of a lead compound for drug development, and regulated and non-regulated (GLP and non-GLP) safety assessment services. Research products provides liquid chromatography, electrochemical and physiological monitoring products to pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions.

The Company’s RMS reportable segment includes the research models, research model services and Teklad diet, bedding and enrichment businesses (Teklad). Research models include the commercial production and sale of small research models and large research models and the production and sale of certain biological products. Research model services include: Genetically Engineered Models and Services (GEMS), which performs contract breeding and other services associated with genetically engineered models; client-owned animal colony care; and health monitoring and diagnostics services related to research models. Teklad includes standard, custom and medicated diets as well as bedding and environmental enrichment products, which enhance the welfare of research animals.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the RMS segment reported intersegment revenue of $320 from the DSA segment. The following table presents revenue and other financial information by reportable segment:

6. INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances based on a determination of the expected realization of tax assets.

The difference between the enacted federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company’s effective rate of 13.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 is primarily related to deferred tax liabilities established as part of the acquisition of Envigo, which resulted in a release of valuation allowance, as well as, the impact on tax expense of certain book to tax differences on the deductibility of certain transaction costs and non-deductibility of the loss on fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the amount of the accrual for which an exposure exists as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that it believes is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement of the position.

At December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had no liability for uncertain income tax positions.

The Company records interest and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Any changes in the liability for uncertain tax positions would impact the effective tax rate. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the various states and local jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. State and other income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after the filing of the respective returns The Company has open tax years for state and foreign income tax filings generally starting in 2017.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of the employer portion of social security payments (FICA deferral), and expanded income tax net operating loss carryback provisions. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a FICA deferral of approximately $916 related to the Envigo acquisition. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $916, and the remaining amount of $916 is due on December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

On December 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (“CAA”) which extended and expanded certain tax relief measures created by the CARES Act, including, but not limited to, (1) second round of Payroll Protection Program loans, and (2) the Employer Retention Credit for 2021.

On March 11, 2021, the U.S. enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which expands Section 162(m) to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. We continue to examine the elements of the CAA and ARPA and the impact they may have on our future business.

7. DEBT

Credit Facility

On November 5, 2021, the Company, certain of subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in the original principal amount of $165,000, a delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35,000 (available to be drawn up to 18 months from the date of the Credit Agreement), and a revolving loan facility in the original principal amount of $15,000. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate combined increase of the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility of up to $35,000, which amount will be available to be drawn once the delayed draw term loan facility is no longer available. On November 5, 2021, the Company borrowed the full amount of the term loan facility, but did not borrow any amounts on the delayed draw term loan facility or the revolving loan facility.

The Company may elect to borrow on each of the loan facilities at either an adjusted LIBOR rate of interest or an adjusted prime rate of interest. Adjusted LIBOR rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The LIBOR rate must be a minimum of 1%. The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate plus 6.25%. Adjusted prime rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate plus a margin of between 5.00% and 5.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio. The initial adjusted prime rate of interest is the prime rate plus 5.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.25% through December 31, 2021.

The Company must pay (i) a fee based on a percentage per annum equal to 0.50% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the revolving loan facility and (ii) a fee based on a percentage per annum equal to 1.00% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the delayed drawn loan facility. In each case, such fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears.

Each of the term loan facility and delayed draw term loan facility require annual principal payments in an amount equal to 1.0% of their respective original principal amounts. The Company shall also repay the term loans on an annual basis in an amount equal to a percentage of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which percentage will be determined by its then current Secured Leverage Ratio. Each of the loan facilities may be repaid at any time with premium or penalty.

The Company is required to maintain an initial Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 4.25 to 1.00. The maximum permitted Secured Leverage Ratio shall reduce to 3.00 to 1.00 beginning with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025. The Company is required to maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which ratio shall be 1.00 to 1.00 during the first year of the Credit Agreement and shall be 1.10 to 1.00 from and after the Credit Agreement’s first anniversary.

Each of the loan facilities is secured by all assets (other than certain excluded assets) of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Repayment of each of the loan facilities is guaranteed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Utilizing proceeds from the Credit Agreement on November 5, 2021, the Company repaid all indebtedness and terminated the credit agreement related to the First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”) credit facility as described in Note 10 and recognized $877 loss on debt extinguishment.

Acquisition-related Debt

In addition to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have issued unsecured notes as partial payment of the purchase prices of certain acquisitions as described herein. Each of these notes is subordinated to the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.

As part of the acquisition of Plato BioPharma, which is a part of the Company’s Inotiv Boulder subsidiary, Inotiv Boulder, LLC, issued unsecured subordinated promissory notes payable to the former shareholders of Plato BioPharma in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000. The promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, with monthly payments of principal and interest and a maturity date of June 1, 2023.

Convertible Senior Notes

On September 27, 2021, the Company issued $140,000 principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027. The Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of September 27, 2021, among the Company, the BAS Evansville, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the initial purchaser of the Notes, the Company granted the initial purchaser an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes were first issued, up to an additional $15,000 principal amount of Notes. The Notes issued on September 27, 2021 include $15,000 principal amount of Notes issued pursuant to the full exercise by the initial purchaser of such option. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of Notes, together with borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Envigo Acquisition and related fees and expenses, as described in Note 16.

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior, unsecured basis, by BAS Evansville (the “Guarantor”).

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2022. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before April 15, 2027, noteholders have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after April 15, 2027, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, its common shares or a combination of cash and its common shares, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 1.7162 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $46.05 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events.

Table of Contents

In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole and not in part, at the Company’s option at any time on or after October 15, 2024 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per common share of the Company exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The redemption price is a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling the Notes for redemption pursuant to the provisions described in this paragraph will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which will result in an increase to the conversion rate in certain circumstances for a specified period of time.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common shares.

The Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, are subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) the Company’s failure to send certain notices under the Indenture within specified periods of time; (iii) the failure by the Company or the Guarantor to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture relating to the ability of the Company or the Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (iv) a default by the Company or the Guarantor in its other obligations or agreements under the Indenture or the Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Indenture; (v) certain defaults by the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $20,000; (vi) the rendering of certain judgments against the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries for the payment of at least $20,000, where such judgments are not discharged or stayed within 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired or on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective significant subsidiaries; and (viii) the guarantee of the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by the Indenture) or the Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its guarantee of the Notes.

If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company or the Guarantor (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% on the principal amount of the Notes.

In accordance with ASC 815, at issuance, the Company evaluated the convertible feature of the Notes and determined it was required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and did not qualify for equity classification. The convertible feature of the Notes is subject to fair value remeasurement as of each balance sheet date or until it meets equity classification requirements and is valued utilizing level three inputs as described below. The discount resulting from the initial fair value of the embedded derivative will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Non-cash interest expense during the period primarily related to this discount.

primary contract. As a result of the approval for the increase in authorized shares on November 4, 2021 (See Note 2 – Equity), the convertible note conversion rights met all equity classification criteria in ASC 815. As a result, the derivative liability was remeasured as of November 4, 2021 and reclassified out of long-term liabilities and into additional paid-in capital.

Based upon the above, the Company remeasured the fair value of the embedded derivative as of November 4, 2021 which resulted in a fair value measurement of $88,576 and a loss on remeasurement included in other income (loss) for the three-months ended December 31, 2021 of $56,714. The embedded derivative liability of $88,576 was then reclassified to additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 815.

In connection with the evaluation at November 4, 2021, the Company rechallenged its analysis of the initial allocation of value between the embedded derivative and debt component of the convertible debt included in long-term liabilities at September 30, 2021. This resulted in a change in the allocation of the underlying long-term debt from $76,716 to $99,776 and the allocation of the conversion feature from $54,922 to $31,862. These changes did not result in any change to long-term liabilities or any material changes to net income as of September 30, 2021.

Fair Value

The provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and provides the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This Topic also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

●

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

●

Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

●

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The embedded conversion feature of the convertible senior notes is subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis as they include unobservable and significant inputs in determining the fair value. The Company utilized a single factor trinomial lattice model to determine the related fair value of the embedded derivative convertible feature of the notes at November 4, 2021, and the inputs used included a volatility of 40.0%, a bond yield assumption of 10.44% and a remaining maturity period of 5.95 years.

Former Credit Agreement

On October 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the Company and First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”), as amended. Pursuant to the Amendment, FIB consented to the acquisition by the Company of Plato by merger of Plato with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the subsequent merger of the surviving corporation of that merger with another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to (i) add the promissory notes to be issued to former Plato shareholders in the Plato Acquisition as permitted indebtedness, which notes will be issued by the surviving company, guaranteed by the Company and subordinated in favor of the Lender, and (ii) add references to the Plato Acquisition to certain provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to subordination agreements, representations and warranties, and certain covenants to permit the Plato Acquisition to occur. The Amendment includes agreements by the Company to obtain certain landlord waivers within 30 days of the closing of the Plato Acquisition and to deliver to the Lender signed subordination agreements.

The Company consummated the Envigo Acquisition and repaid all of its obligations under the FIB Credit Facility in November 2021, as described in Note 10.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06)”. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. The guidance also includes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

10. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed, be recognized as goodwill.

HistoTox Labs acquisition

Overview

On April 30, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of HistoTox Labs, Inc. (“HistoTox Labs”). HistoTox Labs is a provider of services in connection with non-clinical consulting, laboratory and strategic support services and products related to routine and specialized histology, immunohistology, histopathology and image analysis/digital pathology. Consideration for the HistoTox Labs Acquisition consisted of $22,389 in cash, including $68 payable in net working capital adjustments.

HistoTox Labs, Bolder BioPATH and Plato BioPharma (discussed below) were combined into one business unit and recorded combined revenues of $9,316 and combined net income of $1,830 for the three month periods ending December 31, 2021.

The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2021. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of property and equipment, intangible assets, income taxes, goodwill, among other items. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value. This business is reported as part of our DSA reportable

segment. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:


	Preliminary
	Allocation as of
	December 31, 2021
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Accounts receivable		982
Unbilled revenues		337
Operating lease ROU asset		2,239
Property and equipment		4,021
Intangible assets		8,500
Other Assets		25
Goodwill		9,129
Accounts payable		(132)
Accrued expenses		(266)
Customer advances		(207)
Operating lease liability		(2,239)
	$	22,389

Property and equipment is mostly composed of equipment (including lab equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment). The fair value of property and equipment was determined using a combination of cost and market-based methodologies. The fair value of property and equipment as of December 31, 2021 is based on preliminary assumptions which are subject to change as we complete our valuation procedures.

Intangible assets primarily relate to customer relationships and a non-compete agreement. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of approximately 8 years for customer relationships and 5 years for the non-compete agreement on a straight-line basis. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including revenues, cost of services, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The fair value of intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 is based on preliminary assumptions which are subject to change as we complete our valuation procedures.

Goodwill, which is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, expanded client base and our ability to provide broader service solutions through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired and is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill from this transaction is allocated to the Company’s DSA reportable segment.

Bolder BioPATH acquisition

Overview

The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2021. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of property and equipment, intangible assets, income taxes and goodwill, among other items. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date. Finalization of the valuation during the measurement period could result in a change in the amounts recorded for the acquisition date fair value. This business is reported as part of our DSA reportable segment.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:


	Preliminary
	Allocation as of
	December 31, 2021
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Accounts receivable		2,258
Unbilled revenues		1,798
Prepaid expenses		6

Property and equipment		6,609
Intangible asset		12,500

	$	53,482

Property and equipment is mostly composed of equipment (including lab equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer equipment). The fair value of property and equipment was determined using a combination of cost and market-based methodologies. The fair value of intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 is based on preliminary assumptions which are subject to change as we complete our valuation procedures.

Intangible assets primarily relate to customer relationships. The acquired definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of approximately 8 years on a straight-line basis. The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using the "income approach," which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of the cash flows an asset would generate over its remaining useful life. Some of the significant assumptions inherent in the development of these asset valuations include the estimated net cash flows for each year for each asset or product (including revenues, cost of services, marketing, selling and administrative expenses, and contributory asset charges), the appropriate discount rate necessary to measure the risk inherent in each future cash flow stream, the life cycle of each asset, the potential regulatory and commercial success risk, and competitive trends impacting the asset and each cash flow stream, as well as other factors. The fair value of intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 is based on preliminary assumptions which are subject to change as we complete our valuation procedures.

Goodwill, which is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, expanded client base and our ability to provide broader service solutions through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired and none is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill from this transaction is allocated to the Company’s DSA reportable segment.

11. REVENUE RECOGNITION

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the Company disaggregates its revenue from clients into two revenue streams, service revenue and product revenue. At contract inception the Company assesses the services promised in the contract with the clients to identify performance obligations in the arrangements.

Service revenue

DSA

The Company enters into contracts with clients to provide drug discovery and development services with payments based on mainly fixed-fee arrangements. The Company also offers archive storage services to its clients.

The Company’s fixed fee arrangements may involve nonclinical research services (toxicology, pathology, pharmacology), bioanalytical, and pharmaceutical method development and validation, nonclinical research services and the analysis of bioanalytical

Table of Contents

and pharmaceutical samples. For bioanalytical and pharmaceutical method validation services and nonclinical research services, revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on the ratio of direct costs incurred to total estimated direct costs. For contracts that involve in-life study conduct, method development or the analysis of bioanalytical and pharmaceutical samples, revenue is recognized over time when samples are analyzed or when services are performed. The Company generally bills for services on a milestone basis. These contracts represent a single performance obligation and due to the Company’s right to payment for work performed, revenue is recognized over time. Research services contract fees received upon acceptance are deferred until earned and classified within customer advances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled revenues represent revenues earned under contracts in advance of billings.

Archive services provide climate controlled archiving for client’s data and samples. The archive revenue is recognized over time, generally when the service is provided. These arrangements include one performance obligation. Amounts related to future archiving or prepaid archiving contracts for clients where archiving fees are billed in advance are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the period the applicable archive service is performed.

RMS

The Company provides Genetically Engineered Models and Services (GEMS), which performs contract breeding and other services associated with genetically engineered models; client-owned animal colony care; and health monitoring and diagnostics services related to research models. For contracts that involve creation of a specific type of animal, revenue is recognized over time with each milestone as a separate performance obligation. The Company is due payment for work performed even if subsequent milestones are unable to be met. Contract breeding and client-owned animal colony care is recognized over time and are billed as per diems. Health monitoring and diagnostic services are recognized once the service is performed.

Product revenue

DSA

Products revenues included internally manufactured scientific instruments for life sciences research and the related software for use by pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions under the Company’s BASi product line. These products can be sold to multiple clients and have alternative use. Both the transaction sales price and shipping terms are agreed upon in the client order. For these products, all revenue is recognized at a point in time, generally when title of the product and control is transferred to the client based upon shipping terms. These arrangements typically include only one performance obligation.

RMS

Product revenues included research models, diets and bedding, bioproducts and transgenic models and services. Research models revenue represents the commercial production and sale of research models, principally purpose-bred rats and mice for use by researchers, and large-animal models. Diets and bedding revenues represent laboratory animal diets, bedding, and enrichment products under the Company’s Teklad product line. Bioproducts revenues represents the sale of serum and plasma, whole blood, tissues, organs and glands, embryo culture serum and growth factors. Research models and diets and bedding include freight costs associated with the delivery of the product to customers.

The Company records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee, in accordance with ASU 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At inception of a contract, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract represents a lease by determining whether or not the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Table of Contents

consequential and incidental losses and damages for the alleged violations. The PAGA complaint seeks civil penalties pursuant to the California Labor Code and attorney’s fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims.

The Company is party to certain other legal actions arising out of the normal course of its business. In management's opinion, none of these actions will have a material effect on the Company's operations, financial condition or liquidity. No form of proceedings has been brought, instigated or is known to be contemplated against the Company by any government agency.

Government Investigations

During the period from July through December 2021, one of Envigo’s U.S. facilities was inspected on several occasions by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). USDA issued inspection reports with findings of non-compliance with certain USDA laws and regulations. Envigo formally appealed certain of the findings. USDA has indicated it intends to conduct a formal investigation. The inspections and/or the investigation could lead to enforcement action resulting in penalties that could include a temporary restraining order or injunction, civil and/or criminal penalties, and/or license suspension or revocation. As of December 31, 2021, no investigation has been initiated.

On June 15, 2021, Envigo Global Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company acquired in the Envigo acquisition, was served with a grand jury subpoena issued by the Department of Justice in Miami, Florida requiring the production of documents related to the importation into the United States of live non-human primates originating from or transiting through China, Cambodia and/or Vietnam from April 1, 2014 through March 28, 2019.

OBRC to the Seller in the amount of $3,700. The payable will not bear interest and is required to be paid to Seller on the date that is 18 months after the Closing. Purchaser will have the right to set off against the payable any amounts that become payable by the Seller on account of indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

On January 27, 2022, the Company, certain of subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a First Amendment (“Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase to the existing term loan facility in the amount of $40,000 (the “Incremental Term Loans”) and a new delayed draw term loan facility in the original principal amount of $35,000, which amount is available to be drawn up to 24 months from the date of the Amendment (the “DDTL”). The Incremental Term Loans and any amounts borrowed under the DDTL are referred to herein as the “Additional Term Loans”. On January 27, 2022, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Incremental Term Loans, but did not borrower any amounts under the DDTL.

Recent Developments and Executive Summary

During the recent period, we have continued to focus on our growth initiatives, which are (1) strategic acquisitions, (2) expansion of existing and acquired businesses, and (3) startup of new services. As a result, the Company has gained momentum on its path to being a comprehensive provider of preclinical research services, while adding a highly complementary research model platform through the strategic acquisition of Envigo. Our full spectrum solutions now span two segments: Discovery and Safety Assessment, or DSA, and Research Models and Services, or RMS. The acquisition of Envigo was transformative to our Company as we have grown from 240 employees in 2018 to over 2,000 employees today.

Business Overview

As a result of the strategic Envigo acquisition, which added a complementary research model platform, our full spectrum solutions now span two segments: Discovery and Safety Assessment, or DSA, and Research Models and Services, or RMS.

DSA

Our DSA segment specializes in providing nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services to the pharmaceutical, chemical, and medical device industries, and sells analytical instruments to the pharmaceutical development and contract research industries. Our mission is to focus on bringing new drugs and medical devices through the discovery and preclinical phases of development, all while increasing efficiency, improving data, and reducing the cost of taking new drugs to market. Inotiv is committed to supporting discovery and development objectives as well as helping researchers realize the full potential of their critical R&D projects, all while working together to build a healthier and safer world. Our strategy is to provide services that will generate high-quality and timely data in support of new drug and product approval or expand their use. Our clients and partners include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biomedical device, academic and government organizations. We believe that we offer an efficient, variable-cost alternative to our clients’ internal drug and product development programs. Outsourcing development work to reduce overhead and speed product approvals through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and other regulatory authorities is an established alternative to in-house product development efforts. We derive our revenues from sales of our research services and instruments, both of which are focused on evaluating drug and product safety and efficacy. We have been involved in the research of drug and products to treat diseases in numerous therapeutic areas for over 47 years since our formation as a corporation organized in Indiana in 1974, under the name Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. On March 18, 2021, we changed our name from Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. to Inotiv, Inc.

We support both the non-clinical and clinical development needs of researchers and clinicians for primarily small molecule drug candidates, but also provide services to biotherapeutics and device companies. We believe that our scientists have the skills in analytical instrumentation development, chemistry, computer software development, pharmacology, histology, pathology, physiology, medicine, surgery, analytical chemistry, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology to make the services and products we provide increasingly valuable to our current and potential clients. Our principal clients are scientists engaged in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, drug safety evaluation, clinical trials, drug metabolism studies, pharmacokinetics and basic research from small startup biotechnology companies to some of the largest global pharmaceutical companies. We are committed to bringing scientific expertise, quality and speed to every drug discovery and development program to help our clients develop safe and effective life-changing therapies.

Developments within the industries we serve have a direct, and sometimes material, impact on our operations. Currently, many large pharmaceutical companies have major "blockbuster" drugs that are nearing the end of their patent protections. This puts significant pressure on these companies to discover, acquire or develop new drugs with large market opportunity, and to re-evaluate their cost structures and the time-to-market of their products. Contract research organizations have benefited from these developments, as the

Table of Contents

pharmaceutical industry has turned to outsourcing to both reduce fixed costs and to increase the speed of research and data development necessary for new product applications. The number of significant drugs that have reached or are nearing the end of their patent protection has also benefited the generic drug industry. Generic drug companies provide a significant source of new business for CROs as they develop, test and manufacture their generic compounds.

A significant portion of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is now driven by smaller, venture capital funded drug discovery companies. Many of these companies are "single-molecule" entities, whose success depends on one or a few innovative compounds. While several biotech companies have reached the status of major pharmaceutical companies, the industry is still characterized by numerous smaller entities. These developmental companies generally do not have the resources to perform much of their research within their organizations and are therefore increasingly dependent on the CRO industry for both their research and for guidance in preparing their regulatory submissions. These companies have provided significant new opportunities for the CRO industry, including Inotiv. We believe that we are ideally positioned to serve these clients as they look for alternatives to the large CROs that cater primarily to the large pharmaceutical company segment of the marketplace.

RMS

Our RMS segment breeds, imports and sells research-quality animal models for use in laboratory tests, manufactures and sells standard and custom diets, distributes bedding and enrichment products, and provides other services associated with these products. We are the second largest commercial provider of research models and services globally, and our predecessors have been supplying research models since 1931. With over 130 different species and strains, we are a global leader in the production and sale of the most widely used rodent research model strains, among other species. We maintain production facilities, including barrier and isolator facilities, in the U.S., U.K., mainland Europe, and Israel.

Financial Performance Highlights

We review various metrics to evaluate our financial performance, including revenue, margins and earnings. In the three months ended December 31, 2021, total revenues increased to $84,211 from $17,885, a 370.8% increase from the three months ended December 31, 2020. Operating expenses increased by 803.3%, or $47,103, due to acquisitions and cost increases as we continued to build the infrastructure for growth, which included additional headcount, recruiting, relocation expense, post combination non-cash stock compensation expense relating to the assumption of certain outstanding stock options of the Envigo Equity Plan recognized in connection with the Envigo acquisition of $23,014 and investments in building out new service offerings. Additionally, there was an increase in selling expenses due to an increase in travel cost as our sales and marketing teams have traveled more as the COVID-19 pandemic eases and an increase in commissions due to higher sales awards.

As of December 31, 2021, we had $42,418 of cash and cash equivalents as compared to $138,924 of cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2021.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we obtained a credit agreement in relation to the Envigo acquisition and repaid our previous borrowings with First Internet Bank of Indiana. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section herein for a description of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and details related to our credit arrangement, our convertible notes and the related fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of our convertible notes.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

DSA and RMS Revenue

Total revenue increased 370.8% to $84,211 from $17,885 in Q1 FY 2021, driven by a $14,940 increase in DSA revenue and $51,386 of incremental RMS revenue. The acquisitions of HistoTox Labs, Bolder BioPATH, Gateway Pharmacology and Plato BioPharma added approximately $10,000 of service revenue and internal growth generated approximately $4,940 of service revenue in our DSA segment during Q1 FY 2022. Our acquisition of Envigo contributed $45,085 of product revenue and $6,301 of service revenue to our RMS segment during Q1 FY 2022. RMS revenue in Q1 FY 2022 reflected a partial quarter contribution from Envigo, which was acquired on November 5, 2021. We did not have any RMS revenue in the comparable prior year period.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $64,886 or 77.1% of revenue, compared to $11,842, or 66.2% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Cost of service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 63.4% during the three months ended December 31, 2021 from 68.1% in the three months ended December 31, 2020, reflecting greater utilization of recently expanded capacity.

Cost of products revenue as a percentage of Products revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased to 88.4% from 48.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2020 due to acquisition of Envigo whose products have a lower gross profit as a percent of revenue compared to the historic DSA product-based revenue.

Operating Expenses

Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased 338.1% to $2,738 from $625 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase is mainly due to an increase in travel expenses as our sales and marketing teams have begun traveling more as the COVID-19 pandemic eases and an increase in commissions due to higher sales awards.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased 171.4% to $13,252 from $4,882 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, as the Company continued to build the infrastructure for growth, which included additional headcount, recruiting and relocation expense and higher compensation.

Table of Contents

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased to $3,396 from $160 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, as the Company obtained various intangible assets related to the Gateway, HistoTox, Bolder BioPATH, Plato and Envigo acquisitions that were amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Other operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased to $33,580 from $196 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in other operating expenses reflects post combination non-cash stock compensation expense relating to the assumption of certain outstanding stock options the Envigo Equity Plan recognized in connection with the Envigo acquisition of $23,014. The Company has also incurred transaction costs related to the acquisitions of Plato, Envigo and RSI and an increase in startup costs for internal investments in new service offerings. The acquisition of Envigo was transformational to the Company’s underlying business. As a result, certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform with current presentation, which more closely reflects management’s perspective of the business as it currently exists.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased to $4,828 from $347 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to the convertible senior notes and the senior term loan, as well as various promissory notes, entered into subsequent to December 31, 2020. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 includes approximately $1,659 of non-cash interest expense.

Other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased to $57,727 from $0 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 as the Company recognized a $56,714 fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes issued in September 2021 and $877 loss on debt extinguishment.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were 13.33% and (9.89)% respectively. The benefit (expense) recorded for each period was $12,785 and ($33), respectively. The benefit from income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was primarily related to deferred tax liabilities established as part of the acquisition of Envigo, which resulted in a release of valuation allowance, as well as, the impact on tax expense of certain book to tax differences on the deductibility of certain transaction costs and non-deductibility of the loss on fair value remeasurement of the embedded derivative component of the convertible notes. The expense from income taxes in the first quarter of 2021 relates primarily to certain credits that arise when deferred tax liabilities that are created by indefinite-lived assets cannot be used as a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets for valuation allowance purposes.

Net Income/Loss

As a result of the above described factors, we had a consolidated net loss of $83,411 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to a consolidated net loss of $366 during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Comparative Cash Flow Analysis

At December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $42,418, compared to $138,924 at September 30, 2021, exclusive of restricted cash.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,143 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,652 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Contributing factors to our cash used in operations in the first three months of fiscal 2022 were noncash charges of $6,035 for depreciation and amortization, $19,159 for non-cash stock compensation expense, $56,714 for loss on fair value measurement of convertible senior notes, changes in deferred taxes of $14,281 and a net increase due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $8,594 .

Included in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are non-cash charges of $1,065 for depreciation and amortization, $181 of stock compensation expense and a decrease of $435 in accounts payable. These items were partially offset by an increase of $634 in accounts receivable and a net decrease in accrued expenses of $1,089.

Table of Contents

Investing activities used $232,393 in the three months ended December 31, 2021 due mainly to cash paid in the acquisition of Plato, Envigo and RSI and capital expenditures of $5,655 as compared to $1,474 used in the first three months of fiscal 2021. The capital additions during the three months ended December 30, 2021 consisted of the renovation and expansion of the Denver, Pennsylvania facility and continued construction of our St. Louis facility, as well as purchases of certain lab equipment.

Financing activities provided $119,466 in the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $428 used in the three months ended December 31, 2020. The cash provided in the first three months of fiscal 2022 included borrowings on a senior term loan of $165,000 and borrowings on construction loans of $1,184, partially offset by payments of long-term borrowings of $37,747, debt issuance costs of $7,102 and repayment of our previous capex line of credit of $1,749. The main sources of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2021 were from borrowings on the capex lines of credit of $387.Total long-term loan payments were $712 and finance lease payments of $108 contributed to the use of cash.

Capital Resources

Credit Facility

On November 5, 2021, the Company, certain of subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in the original principal amount of $165,000, a delayed draw term loan facility in the original principalirs amount of $25,000 (available to be drawn up to 18 months from the date of the Credit Agreement), and a revolving loan facility in the original principal amount of $15,000. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate combined increase of the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility of up to $35,000, which amount will be available to be drawn once the delayed draw term loan facility is no longer available. On November 5, 2021, the Company borrowed the full amount of the term loan facility, but did not borrow any amounts on the delayed draw term loan facility or the revolving loan facility.

The Company may elect to borrow on each of the loan facilities at either an adjusted LIBOR rate of interest or an adjusted prime rate of interest. Adjusted LIBOR rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 6.00% and 6.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The LIBOR rate must be a minimum of 1.00%. The initial adjusted LIBOR rate of interest is the LIBOR rate plus 6.25%. Adjusted prime rate loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate plus a margin of between 5.00% and 5.50%, depending on the Company’s then current Secured Leverage Ratio. The initial adjusted prime rate of interest is the prime rate plus 5.25%. Actual interest accrued at 7.25% through December 31, 2021.

Convertible Senior Notes

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06)”. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. As a result of the approval for the increase in authorized shares on November 4, 2021 (See Note 2 – Equity), the convertible note conversion rights met all equity classification criteria in ASC 815. As a result, the derivative liability was remeasured as of November 4, 2021 and reclassified out of long-term liabilities and into additional paid-in capital.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates while conducting normal business operations as a result of ongoing financing activities. As of December 31, 2021, our debt portfolio was reliant on reference rates. Based on our interest rate exposure at December 31, 2021, assumed debt levels throughout the next 12 months, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates would result in an estimated $1,673 pre-tax reduction in net earnings over a one-year period.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We operate on a global basis and have exposure to some foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

While the financial results of our global activities are reported in U.S. dollars, our foreign subsidiaries typically conduct their operations in their respective local currency. The principal functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the Euro, British Pound and Israeli Shekel.

Fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the countries in which we do business will affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. As the U.S. dollar strengthens against other currencies, the value of our non-U.S. revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows will generally decline when reported in U.S. dollars. The impact to net income as a result of a U.S. dollar strengthening will be partially mitigated by the value of non-U.S. expenses, which will decline when reported in U.S. dollars. As the U.S. dollar weakens versus other currencies, the value of the non-U.S. revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows will generally increase when reported in U.S. dollars.

A hypothetical 10% change in the foreign exchange rates applicable to our business would change our December 31, 2021 cash balance by approximately $1,000 and our revenue by approximately $6,500.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed timely, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. In designing and evaluating such controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management is necessarily required to use judgment in evaluating controls and procedures.

Management performs periodic evaluations to determine if our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, which resulted in a determination by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021.

On December 15, 2021, the Company's management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded that, due to a failure to properly account for certain tax attributes related to an acquisition that occurred in the Company's third fiscal quarter, the Company's previously issued unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (the "Original Quarterly Report") should no longer be relied upon. The Company’s management, together with the Audit Committee, determined that the Company’s financial

Table of Contents

statements and other financial data as of and for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 included in the Original Quarterly Report should be restated and the Company issued restated financials for the period in the Form 10-Q/A filed on December 21, 2021. In connection with the restatement, management reevaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 and concluded that, in light of the error described above, a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that certain of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021. Because the error was not discovered until after the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and minimal remedial steps had been taken prior to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, management concluded that the same material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting and deficiency in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures that existed at September 30, 2021 continued to exist at December 31, 2021.

Management has begun and plans to continue to devote significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and to provide processes and controls over the research and understanding of the tax impact of acquisitions that qualify as stock transactions for tax purposes. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the tax impact of acquisitions that qualify as stock transactions for tax purposes. We plan to include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding the tax impact of acquisitions that qualify as stock transactions for tax purposes. We also plan to re-assess our non-audit third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding application of accounting guidance related to the tax issues and engage more experienced advisers as appropriate. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Envigo is a defendant in a purported class action and a related action under California’s Private Attorney General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) brought by Jacob Greenwell, a former employee of Envigo, on June 25, 2021 in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County. The complaint alleges that Envigo violated certain wage and hour requirements under the California Labor Code. PAGA authorizes private attorneys to bring claims on behalf of the State of California and aggrieved employees for violations of California’s wage and hour laws. The class action complaint seeks certification of a class of similarly situated employees and the award of actual, consequential and incidental losses and damages for the alleged violations. The PAGA complaint seeks civil penalties pursuant to the California Labor Code and attorney's fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims.
