ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investors should carefully consider the risk factors described below before making an investment decision.
If any of the events described in the following risk factors occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that affect Repligen.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business
We compete with life sciences, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are capable of developing new approaches that could make our products and technology obsolete.
The bioprocessing market is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants.
We compete with several medium and small companies in each of our product categories as well as several large companies, including Danaher Corporation (Cytiva), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., MilliporeSigma and Sartorius. Many of our competitors are large, well-capitalized companies that may have greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, research and development (“R&D”) resources than we have, as well as stronger name recognition, longer operating histories and benefits derived from greater economies of scale. As a consequence, they are able to spend more aggressively on product development, marketing, sales and other product initiatives than we can, and may have additional lines of products and the ability to bundle products.
These factors, among others, may enable our competitors to market their products at lower prices or on terms more advantageous to customers than what we can offer. Competition may result in price reduction, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our current and future competitors, including certain of our customers, may at any time develop additional products that compete with our products. If any company develops products that compete with or are superior to our products, our revenue may decline. Additionally, new approaches by these competitors may make our products and technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
If we are unable to continue to hire and retain skilled personnel, then we will have trouble developing and marketing our products.
Our success depends largely upon the continued service of our management and scientific staff and our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, scientific, management and marketing personnel. We also face significant competition in the hiring and retention of such personnel from other companies, research and academic institutions, government and other organizations that have superior funding and resources. The loss of key personnel or our inability to hire and retain skilled personnel could materially and adversely affect our product development efforts and our business.
Despite our increasingly diversified client base, we have historically depended on a limited number of customers for a high percentage of our revenues.
Although we do not currently have any customers that represent more than 10% of our consolidated revenues, the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, any of our large customers, including following any termination or failure to renew a long-term supply contract, would significantly reduce our revenues and harm our results of operations. If a large customer purchases fewer of our products, defers orders or fails to place additional orders with us for any reason, including for business continuity purposes, our revenue could decline, and our operating results may not meet market expectations.
In addition, if our customers order our products, but fail to pay on time or at all, our liquidity and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, if any of our current or future products compete with those of any of our largest customers, these customers may place fewer orders with us or cease placing orders with us, which would negatively affect our revenues and operating results.
Certain of our products are used by customers in the production of gene therapies, which represent a relatively new and still-developing mode of treatment. Unforeseen adverse events, negative clinical outcomes, or increased regulatory scrutiny of cell and gene therapy (“C>”) and its financial cost may damage public perception of the safety, utility, or efficacy of gene therapies and may harm our customers’ ability to conduct their business. Such events may negatively impact our revenues and have an adverse effect on our performance.
C> remains a relatively new and developing treatment method, with only a limited number of gene therapies approved to date by regulatory authorities. Public perception may be influenced by claims that C> is unsafe or ineffective, and C> may not gain the acceptance of the public or the medical community. In addition, ethical, social, legal, and financial concerns about C> and genetic testing could result in additional regulations, limitations or even prohibitions on certain C>s or C>-related products. More restrictive regulations or negative public perception could reduce certain of our customers’ use of our products, which could negatively affect our revenue and performance.
Risks Related to Product Development, Strategic Investments, Collaborations and Acquisitions
If we are unable to expand our product portfolio, our ability to generate revenue could be adversely affected.
We are increasingly seeking to develop and commercialize our portfolio of products. Our future financial performance will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully develop and acquire additional bioprocessing products. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully acquire or develop additional bioprocessing products, and our financial performance will likely suffer if we are unable to do so.

Our acquisitions expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of acquisitions of businesses or technologies.
As a part of our growth strategy, we may make selected acquisitions of complementary products and/or businesses, such as our most recent acquisitions of the 908 Devices Inc. PAT Portfolio,Tantti Laboratory Inc., Metenova Holding AB and FlexBiosys, Inc. Any acquisition involves numerous risks and operational, financial, and managerial challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations:
•
difficulties in integrating new operations, technologies, products, and personnel;
•
problems maintaining uniform procedures, controls and policies with respect to our financial accounting systems;
•
lack of synergies or the inability to realize expected synergies and cost-savings;
•
difficulties in managing geographically dispersed operations, including risks associated with entering foreign markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
•
underperformance of any acquired technology, product, or business relative to our expectations and the price we paid;
•
negative near-term impacts on financial results after an acquisition, including acquisition-related earnings charges;
•
the potential loss of key employees, customers, and strategic partners of acquired companies;
•
claims by terminated employees and shareholders of acquired companies or other third parties related to the transaction;
•
the assumption or incurrence of additional debt obligations or expenses, or use of substantial portions of our cash;
•
the issuance of equity securities to finance or to use as consideration for any acquisitions that dilute the ownership of our stockholders;
•
the issuance of equity securities to finance or to use as consideration for any acquisitions may not be an option if the price of our common stock is low or volatile which could preclude us from completing any such acquisitions;
•
any collaboration, strategic alliance and licensing arrangement may require us to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us;
•
diversion of management’s attention and company resources from existing operations of the business;
•
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies;
•
assumption of, or exposure to, historical liabilities of the acquired business, including unknown contingent or similar liabilities that are difficult to identify or accurately quantify; and
•
risks associated with acquiring intellectual property, including potential disputes regarding acquired companies’ intellectual property.
In addition, the successful integration of acquired businesses requires significant efforts and expense across all operational areas, including sales and marketing, R&D, manufacturing, finance, legal, and information technologies. There can be no assurance that any of the acquisitions we may make will be successful or will be, or will remain, profitable. Our failure to successfully address the foregoing risks may prevent us from achieving the anticipated benefits from any acquisition in a reasonable time frame, or at all.
If intangible assets and goodwill that we recorded in connection with our acquisitions become impaired, we may have to take significant charges against earnings.
In connection with the accounting for our completed acquisitions, we recorded a significant amount of intangible assets, including developed technology and customer relationships relating to the acquired product lines, and goodwill. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we must assess, at least annually and potentially more frequently, whether the value of intangible assets and goodwill has been impaired. Intangible assets and goodwill will be assessed for impairment in the event of an impairment indicator. Any reduction or impairment of the value of intangible assets and goodwill will result in a charge against earnings, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and shareholders’ equity in future periods.
Our strategic investments, collaborations and joint ventures with and into business expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of such investments, collaborations and/or joint ventures with or into such businesses or technologies
As part of our growth strategy, we may enter into strategic investments, collaborations, joint ventures, and similar arrangements to expand our capabilities, access new technologies and enter new markets. These transactions involve significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations, including:
12
Table of Contents
•
Limited Control and Alignment Challenges: In joint ventures or minority investments, we may have limited ability to influence strategic decisions or operational practices. Differences in objectives, governance structures, or priorities with partners can lead to conflicts and inefficiencies.
•
Financial Exposure: Investments and collaborations may underperform or fail, resulting in impairment charges or loss of invested capital. Returns may be delayed, uncertain, or significantly below expectations.
•
Dependence on Third Parties: Our success often depends on the performance and cooperation of partners for development, commercialization, or distribution activities. Delays, quality issues, or regulatory non-compliance by partners could negatively impact our operations.
•
Intellectual Property Risks: Disputes over ownership or use of intellectual property, limitations on our ability to protect or enforce rights, and potential loss of proprietary technology through licensing arrangements.
•
Operational and Compliance Risks: Challenges in monitoring and managing joint venture activities, exposure to unfamiliar legal, tax, and regulatory frameworks—particularly in foreign jurisdictions—and potential liability for actions taken by partners or affiliates.
•
Liquidity and Exit Risks: Minority investments may be illiquid, and we may be unable to sell or exit these investments on favorable terms or within desired timeframes.
•
Reputational Risks: Actions or failures by partners or investee companies could negatively impact our reputation or business relationships.
•
Termination or Non-Performance: Collaborations or joint ventures may be terminated early or fail to deliver anticipated benefits, leaving us without expected products, technologies, or revenue streams.
There can be no assurance that any strategic investment, collaboration, or joint venture will achieve its intended objectives or generate anticipated benefits within a reasonable timeframe, or at all. Failure to successfully manage these risks could materially and adversely affect our business and growth prospects.
Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply
If we are unable to manufacture our products in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner, our operating results will be harmed, our ability to generate revenue could be diminished and our gross margin may be negatively impacted.
Our revenues and other operating results will depend in large part on our ability to manufacture and assemble our products in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner. Any interruptions we experience in the manufacturing or shipping of our products could delay our ability to recognize revenues in a particular quarter. Manufacturing problems can and do arise, and as demand for our products increases, any such problems could have an increasingly significant impact on our operating results. While we have not generally experienced problems with, or delays in, our production capabilities that resulted in delays in our ability to ship finished products, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter such problems in the future. We may not be able to quickly ship products and recognize anticipated revenues for a given period if we experience significant delays in the manufacturing process. In addition, we must maintain sufficient production capacity in order to meet anticipated customer demand, which carries fixed costs that we may not be able to offset if orders were to slow, which would adversely affect our operating margins. If we are unable to manufacture our products consistently, in sufficient quantities, and on a timely basis, our bioprocessing revenue, gross margins and our other operating results will be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, for certain of our products, one supplier, and we may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
There are only a limited number of suppliers of materials for certain of our products. An interruption in operations of the business related to these products could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing the required materials, or if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. Any such interruption could significantly affect the business related to these products and our financial condition, results of operations and reputation. For example, we believe that only a small number of suppliers are currently qualified to supply materials for the XCell ATF® systems. The use of materials furnished by these replacement suppliers would require us to alter our operations related to the XCell ATF systems. Transitioning to a new supplier for our products would be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our operations, could affect the performance specifications of our product lines or could require that we revalidate the materials.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure alternative materials and bring such materials online and revalidate them without experiencing interruptions in our workflow. If we should encounter delays or difficulties in securing, reconfiguring or revalidating the materials required for our products, our business related to these products and our financial condition, results of operations and reputation could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital
Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to make payments on our debt and we may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle for cash conversions of our Notes or to repurchase the Notes for cash upon a fundamental change, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In December 2023, we incurred significant indebtedness with the issuance of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2023 Notes”) where $309.9 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes were issued in exchange for $217.7 million principal amount of our 0.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2019 Notes”, and together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”) and $290.1 million principal amount of the 2023 Notes were issued for $290.1 million in cash. As of December 31, 2025, $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes remain outstanding. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including the Notes.
In addition, holders of the Notes have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to repurchase all or any portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indentures governing the Notes) at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but excluding the fundamental change repurchase date. Upon any conversion of Notes, we will also be required to make cash payments for each $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes converted of at least the lesser of $1,000 and the sum of the “daily conversion values” (as defined in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes). However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of Notes surrendered therefor or pay cash with respect to Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to repurchase the Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the applicable indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the Notes as required by the applicable indenture would constitute a default under such indenture. A default under either indenture governing the Notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.
In addition, our significant indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have other important consequences. For example, it could:
•
make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general U.S. and worldwide economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
•
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry;
•
place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors who have less debt; and
•
limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to fund possible acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses, products, services and technologies.
Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we incur additional indebtedness, the risks related to our business and our ability to service or repay our indebtedness would increase.
The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders of Notes will be entitled to convert the Notes at any time during specified periods at their option, as described in the indentures governing the Notes. If one or more holders elect to convert their Notes, we would be required to settle any converted principal through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
Future strategic transactions or acquisitions may require us to seek additional financing, which we may not be able to secure on favorable terms, if at all.
We plan to continue a strategy of growth and development for our bioprocessing business, and we actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses that would complement our existing portfolio of development programs. In order to complete such strategic transactions, we may need to seek
14
Table of Contents
additional financing to fund these investments and acquisitions. Should we need to do so, we may not be able to secure such financing, or obtain such financing on favorable terms because of the volatile nature of the biotechnology marketplace. In addition, future acquisitions may require the issuance or sale of additional equity or debt securities, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
Any future corporate restructuring and the associated headcount reduction may not result in anticipated savings, could result in total costs and expenses that are greater than expected and could disrupt our business.
In July 2023, we undertook restructuring activities to simplify and streamline our organization and strengthen the overall effectiveness of operations. We may need to undertake another organizational restructuring in the future. We may not realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits, savings and improvements in our cost structure from any future restructuring efforts due to unforeseen difficulties, delays or unexpected costs. If we are unable to realize the expected operational efficiencies and cost savings from a restructuring, our operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected. Furthermore, our restructuring plan may be disruptive to our operations. For example, any future headcount reductions could yield unanticipated consequences, such as increased difficulties in implementing our business strategy, including retention of our remaining employees. A future restructuring may lead to employee litigation related to the headcount reduction, which could be costly and prevent management from fully concentrating on the business.
Our exposure to political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business has and may continue to increase.
We operate on a global basis with offices or activities in Japan, South Korea, China, India, Taiwan, Europe and North America. Our operations and sales outside of the United States have increased as a result of our strategic acquisitions and the continued expansion of our commercial organization. Risks related to these increased foreign operations include:
•
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may affect the costs incurred in international operations and foreign acquisitions and could harm our results of operations and financial condition;
•
changes in general economic and political conditions in countries where we operate, particularly as a result of ongoing economic instability within foreign jurisdictions;
•
the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements;
•
differing protection of intellectual property, technology and data in foreign jurisdictions;
•
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;
•
being subject to complex and restrictive employment and labor laws and regulations, as well as union and works council restrictions;
•
changes in tax laws or rulings in the United States or other foreign jurisdictions that may have an adverse impact on our effective tax rate;
•
being subject to burdensome foreign laws and regulations, including regulations that may place an increased tax burden on our operations;
•
being subject to longer payment cycles from customers and experiencing greater difficulties in timely accounts receivable collections; and
•
required compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, such as data privacy requirements, real estate and property laws, anti-competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, export requirements, U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”) and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations, and other U.S. federal laws and regulations established by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, local laws such as the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 or other local laws that prohibit corrupt payments to governmental officials or certain payments or remunerations to customers.
Our business success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other related factors. We cannot assure you that these and other related factors will not materially adversely affect our international operations or business as a whole.
In addition, a deterioration in diplomatic relations between the United States and any country where we conduct business could adversely affect our future operations and lead to a decline in profitability.
We may be unable to efficiently manage our growth as a larger and more geographically expansive organization.
Our strategic acquisitions, the continued expansion of our commercial sales operations, and our organic growth have increased the scope and complexity of our business. As a result, we will face challenges inherent in efficiently managing a more complex business with an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems,
15
Table of Contents
policies, benefits and compliance programs. Our inability to manage successfully the geographically and culturally expansive, and substantially larger combined organization could materially adversely affect our operating results and, as a result, the market price of our common stock.
Our results of operations could be negatively affected by potential fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Our international sales are often denominated in foreign currencies. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, 39.5% of our revenues were denominated in foreign currencies with the primary foreign currency exposures being the Euro, South Korean Won and Japanese Yen. We are exposed to the risk of an increase or decrease in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, which could decrease the value of our revenue and increase the value of our expenses and costs when measured in U.S. dollars. These fluctuations could also adversely affect the demand for products and services provided by us. As a result, our results of operations may be influenced by the effects of future exchange rate fluctuations and such effects may have an adverse impact on our common stock price.
Natural disasters, geopolitical unrest, war, terrorism, public health issues or other catastrophic events could disrupt the supply, delivery or demand of products, which could negatively affect our operations and performance.
We are subject to the risk of disruption by earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters, fire, power shortages, geopolitical unrest, war, terrorist attacks and other hostile acts, public health issues, epidemics or pandemics and other events beyond our control and the control of the third parties on which we depend. Any of these catastrophic events may have a strong negative impact on our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors or customers, and could decrease demand for our products, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver products to our customers.
In addition, a catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of our data centers or our critical business or information technology systems would severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our operating results would be adversely affected.
Our business, financial condition and results from operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by geopolitical events, such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Palestine.
Global conflicts could increase costs and limit availability of fuel, energy, and other resources we depend upon for our business operations. For example, while we do not operate in Russia or Ukraine, the increasing tensions between the United States and Russia and the other effects of the ongoing conflict of Ukraine, have resulted in many broader economic impacts such as the United States and European Union imposing sanctions and bans against Russia and Russian products imported into the United States and Europe, respectively. Such sanctions and bans have impacted and may continue to impact commodity pricing such as fuel and energy costs, making it more expensive for us and our partners to deliver products to our customers. Further sanctions, bans or other economic actions in response to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine or in response to any other global conflict such as the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, could result in, among other things, cyber-attacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten many of our known risks described in this section.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. If any of our customers, suppliers or other parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected.
Although we assess our banking and customer relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect the Company, the financial institutions with which the Company has credit agreements or arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which the Company has financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally. The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
16
Table of Contents
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any decline in available funding or access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other risks, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial obligations or fulfill our other obligations, result in breaches of our financial and/or contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our current and/or projected business operations and financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, any further deterioration in the global economy or financial services industry, including any changes in U.S. presidential administration policies, or increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries could lead to losses or defaults by our suppliers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our current and projected business operations and financial condition. For example, increased tariffs on essential materials could raise production costs and reduce profitability if we are unable to pass these costs on to customers. Additionally, retaliatory trade measures by other countries could limit our access to key international markets, restricting revenue growth. Any delays or disruptions in our supply chain due to geopolitical tensions, regulatory changes, or trade disputes could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and deliver products, potentially impacting our financial performance and customer relationships.
To mitigate these risks, we have implemented strategies to reduce tariff exposure and closely monitor trade policy developments. However, recent litigation challenging the legality of certain tariffs before the U.S. Supreme Court introduces additional uncertainty. If such tariffs are deemed unlawful, resulting policy reversals or retaliatory measures could create new risks and volatility in global trade, which may adversely affect our operations and financial results.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, our customers’ future purchases are difficult to predict and any failure to meet financial expectations may result in a decline in our stock price.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in the future due to many factors, such as the impact of seasonal spending patterns, changes in overall spending levels in the life sciences industry, the inability of some of our customers to consummate anticipated purchases of our products due to changes in end-user demand, and other unpredictable factors that may affect ordering patterns. Because our revenue and operating results are difficult to predict, we believe that our past results of operations are not necessarily a good indicator of our future performance. Additionally, if revenue declines in a quarter, whether due to a delay in recognizing expected revenue, adverse economic conditions or otherwise, our results of operations will be harmed because many of our expenses are relatively fixed. In particular, a large portion of our manufacturing costs, our R&D, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses are not significantly affected by variations in revenue. Further, our gross margins are dependent on product mix. A shift in sales away from our higher-margin products to lower margin products will adversely affect our gross margins. If our quarterly operating results fail to meet investor expectations, the price of our common stock may decline.
Securities or industry analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us and our business. We do not have any control over these analysts, and we cannot provide any assurance that analysts will cover us or provide favorable coverage. If any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse opinion regarding our stock price, our business or stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports covering us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Our stock price could be volatile, which could cause shareholders to lose part or all of their investment.
The market price of our common stock, like that of the common stock of many other companies with similar market capitalizations, is highly volatile. The stock market in general, and the market for life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of specific companies, the conflict in Ukraine and Israel, and rising inflation and changing interest rates in the United States, which have resulted in decreased stock prices for many companies notwithstanding the lack of a fundamental change in their underlying business models or prospects. Broad market and industry factors, including potentially worsening economic conditions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.
Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reports and to assist in the effective prevention of fraud. Any
17
Table of Contents
inability to provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud could harm our business. We regularly review and update our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies. In addition, we are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to report annually on our internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met, including objectives that may involve our reliance on third-party advisors and professionals.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:
1.
Management identified deficiencies related to the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to revenue recognition specific to the evaluation of accounting for contract terms (as originally reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023).
2.
Management did not maintain effective information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not maintain logical access controls and program change management controls to ensure that access to programs and data are appropriately restricted and program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately. As a result, automated and business process controls that rely on information from the systems were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely affected.
3.
Irrespective of the effects of the IT general controls deficiencies, management did not perform certain business process-level controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process either in a timely manner or with an appropriate precision threshold.
As discussed below in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the material weakness related to revenue recognition has been remediated and no longer exists as of December 31, 2025. However, the material weaknesses associated with IT general controls and business process controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process were not remediated as of December 31, 2025. Based on these unremediated material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that at December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
We continue to implement measures designed to remediate the identified material weaknesses. The measures include (i) incorporating the use of automated workflows to manage the granting and monitoring of access within IT systems relevant to the preparation of our financial statements, (ii) redesigning existing controls with additional attribute the presume IT risk relevant to the control, (iii) reassessing the operating effectiveness of our business process-level controls related to inventory valuation and financial statement close process and (iv) assessing the frequency of our control monitoring activities to ensure that they are conducted in a timely manner.
We will continue to monitor the design and operating effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and make any further changes management determines appropriate. While we are undertaking efforts to remediate these material weaknesses, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management concludes, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We may also conclude that additional measures are required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
At this time, we cannot predict the success of such efforts or the outcome of our assessment of the remediation efforts. We can give no assurance that our efforts will remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare the consolidated financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, may adversely affect our reputation and business and the trading price of our common stock.
Any failure to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could result in errors in our consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, any of which could diminish investor confidence in us and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of our securities and harm to our reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of our business.
The restatement of our previously issued financial statements may affect stockholder and investor confidence in us or harm our reputation, and may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased costs and the increased possibility of legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigations
Upon identifying the revenue recognition material weakness described above, we amended and restated certain items in our Quarterly

Table of Contents
Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2023 through June 30, 2024, as well as certain items in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of this restatement, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with, or related to, such restatement. In addition, such restatements could subject us to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of legal proceedings and inquiries, sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Any of the foregoing may adversely affect our reputation, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting, or our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, or cause stockholders, investors, members and customers to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports or cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we have no knowledge of any such legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigation. However, we can provide no assurance that such legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigation will not arise in the future. Any such legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries, sanctions or investigation, whether successful or not, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Charter and Bylaws
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents, certain of our contracts with third parties, and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, even one that may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our management. These provisions include the ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits the ability of stockholders owning in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock to merge or combine with us. Although we believe these provisions collectively provide for an opportunity to obtain greater value for stockholders by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with the Board, they would apply even if an offer rejected by our board was considered beneficial by some stockholders. Additionally, certain of our contracts with third parties allow for termination upon specified change of control transactions. Anti-takeover provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the Board, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management, and anti-takeover or change of control contract termination rights may frustrate or prevent any attempts by a third-party to acquire or attempt to acquire us.
Risks Related to Tax Matters
The enactment of legislation implementing changes in taxation of international business activities, the adoption of other corporate tax reform policies, or changes in tax legislation or policies, or interpretations thereof, could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
The enactment of legislation implementing changes in taxation of international business activities, the adoption of other corporate tax reform policies, or changes in tax legislation or policies, or interpretations thereof, could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. For example, the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) in the United States introduced significant changes to corporate and international tax rules, including adjustments to deductions, expensing provisions, and foreign income calculations. These changes may affect our effective tax rate and require modifications to our tax planning strategies.
Corporate tax reform, base-erosion efforts and tax transparency continue to be high priorities in many tax jurisdictions where we have business operations. As a result, policies regarding corporate income and other taxes in numerous jurisdictions are under heightened scrutiny, and tax reform legislation is being proposed or enacted in a number of jurisdictions. There is no assurance that our actual income tax liability will not be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provision or benefit and accruals as a result of changes in tax laws.
In addition, many countries are beginning to implement legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting recommendations and action plan that aim to standardize and modernize global corporate tax policy, including changes to cross-border tax, transfer pricing documentation rules, and nexus-based tax incentive practices. Because of the heightened scrutiny of corporate taxation policies, prior decisions by tax authorities regarding treatments and positions of corporate income taxes could be subject to enforcement activities, and legislative investigation and inquiry, which could also result in changes in tax policies or prior tax rulings. Any such changes in policies or rulings may also result in the taxes we previously paid being subject to change.
Due to the large scale of our international business activities, any substantial changes in international corporate tax policies, enforcement activities or legislative initiatives—such as those introduced under the OBBBA—may materially adversely affect our business, the amount of taxes we are required to pay and our financial condition and results of operations generally.

Our ability to use net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses to reduce future tax payments is limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and it is possible that certain transactions or a combination of certain transactions may result in material additional limitations on our ability to use our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, contain rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an ownership change, which is generally any change in ownership of more than 50 percentage points of its stock over a three-year period, to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses recognized in years after the ownership change. These rules generally operate by focusing on ownership changes involving stockholders owning directly or indirectly 5% or more of the stock of a company and any change in ownership arising from a new issuance of stock by the company. Generally, if an ownership change occurs, the yearly taxable income limitation on the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and certain built-in losses is equal to the product of the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate and the value of the company’s stock immediately before the ownership change. We may be unable to offset our taxable income with losses, or our tax liability with credits, before such losses and credits expire and therefore would incur larger federal income tax liability. Federal net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017, are not subject to expiration and generally may not be carried back to prior taxable years except that, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 may be carried back five taxable years. Additionally, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, the deductibility of such deferred net operating losses is limited to 80% of our taxable income in any future taxable year.
Risks Related to Government Regulation
Risks Related to Regulations and Compliance
We are subject to export and import control laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we violate such laws and regulations.
We are subject to U.S. export controls and sanctions regulations that restrict the shipment or provision of certain products and services to certain countries, governments, and persons, including those administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”). While we take precautions to prevent our products and services from being exported in violation of these laws, we cannot guarantee that the precautions we take will prevent violations of export control and sanctions laws. We believe that, in the past, we and our subsidiaries may have exported certain products without a required export license in apparent violation of U.S. export control laws. As a result, we have submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security various notices of voluntary self-disclosure concerning potential violations. If we are found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions or export control laws, it could result in substantial fines and penalties for us and for the individuals working for us. We may also be adversely affected through other penalties, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, or otherwise.
Complying with export control and sanction regulations may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities or impose other costs. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in our decreased ability to export or sell certain products to existing or potential customers in affected jurisdictions. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and heightened regulatory scrutiny could lead to delays in obtaining BIS licenses, which may postpone exports and disrupt our ability to meet customer demand.
Our business is subject to a number of environmental risks.
Our manufacturing business involves the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals and is therefore subject to numerous environmental and safety laws and regulations and periodic inspections for possible violations of these laws and regulations. In addition to these hazardous materials and chemicals, our facility in Sweden also uses Staphylococcus aureus and toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus in some of its manufacturing processes. Staphylococcus aureus and the toxins it produces, particularly enterotoxins, can cause severe illness in humans. The costs of compliance with environmental and safety laws and regulations are significant. Any violations, even if inadvertent or accidental, of current or future environmental and safety laws or regulations and the cost of compliance with any resulting order or fine could adversely affect our operations.
Climate change, climate change-related regulation and sustainability concerns could adversely affect our businesses and the operations of our subsidiaries, and any actions we take or fail to take in response to such matters could damage our reputation.
Investor advocacy groups, institutional investors, investment funds, market participants, and other stakeholders have increasingly focused on sustainability or Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) practices, including those related to climate change. The European Union has emerged as a key driver of ESG regulation through initiatives such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020, which imposed detailed disclosure and compliance requirements on companies operating in or doing business with the European Union (“EU”). These frameworks aim to standardize sustainability reporting and align corporate activities with climate and social objectives, increasing scrutiny on companies’ ESG performance.
If our ESG practices do not meet evolving investor, regulatory, or industry expectations, our reputation, investor confidence, and
20
Table of Contents
employee retention may be negatively impacted. Any sustainability disclosures we make may include policies and practices on corporate governance, environmental compliance, employee health and safety, human capital management, product quality, supply chain management, and workforce inclusion. Stakeholders may not be satisfied with our ESG practices or the pace of adoption, or we may fail to communicate them effectively. Compliance with emerging ESG regulations, including the EU requirements, could result in additional costs and resource commitments for monitoring, reporting, and assurance. Investors may also refrain from investing in us based on their assessment of our ESG approach.
In addition, we face physical risks associated with climate change, including flooding, severe storms, wildfires, droughts, and extreme temperatures, which could disrupt manufacturing and supply chains, increase costs, and impair our ability to meet customer demand. To date, we have not experienced material losses or operational disruptions related to climate change and we do not anticipate that these risks will have a material impact to our Company in the near term. However, future events could materially impact our business.
Health care reform measures could adversely affect our business.
Health care reform measures could adversely affect our business. Efforts by governmental and third-party payors to contain or reduce health care costs may negatively impact pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including ours. Legislative and regulatory proposals in the United States and abroad continue to seek changes to health care systems that could affect our ability to sell products profitably.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”), as amended, substantially changed how health care is financed by governmental and private insurers. More recently, the OBBBA enacted in July 2025 includes provisions that significantly reduce federal health care spending, impose new Medicaid eligibility restrictions, and introduce work requirements. These measures are expected to reduce coverage for millions of individuals and may alter reimbursement dynamics for drugs and biologics. Such changes could limit pricing flexibility and reduce demand for certain therapies.
The Trump administration has prioritized cost containment and deregulation, including proposals to expand price transparency, encourage importation of lower-cost drugs, and promote competitive bidding for Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, litigation and legislative efforts to repeal or modify provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), including Medicare drug price negotiation authority, remain ongoing. Future actions could accelerate these changes or introduce new pricing controls.
Federal and state governments continue to pursue measures such as price caps, rebate requirements, and restrictions on marketing practices. Regional health authorities and hospitals increasingly use competitive bidding to select suppliers, which may further pressure pricing and reduce demand for our products. Additional reforms at the federal or state level are likely and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the FCPA and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and agreements with third parties and make sales in jurisdictions outside of the United States, which may experience corruption. Our activities in jurisdictions outside of the United States create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors, because these parties are not always subject to our control. These risks have increased following our recent acquisitions of overseas operations and facilities. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of Repligen may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold us liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by any companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results or financial condition.
Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines, and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, such as revenue recognition, asset impairment and fair value determinations, inventories, business combinations and intangible asset valuations, leases, and litigation, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, or judgments could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance or financial condition.
Risks Related to Data and Privacy
Our internal computer systems, or those of our customers, collaborators or other contractors, may be subject to cyber-attacks or security incidents or compromises, which could result in a material disruption of our product development programs.
Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems and those of our customers, collaborators cloud-based
21
Table of Contents
platform service providers, and other contractors are vulnerable to damage from unauthorized access and from cyber-attacks, such as computer viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing, denial-of-service attacks, wrongful conduct by employees or other insiders, attacks facilitated by use of artificial intelligence, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. We have in the past experienced threats and security incidents related to our data and systems, and we may in the future experience other threats, compromises, breaches, or incidents. A cyber-attack or other security incident or compromise could cause interruptions in our operations and could result in a material disruption of our business operations, damage to our reputation or a loss of revenues.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including, among other things, personally identifiable information about our employees, intellectual property, and proprietary business information. In addition, we could be subject to risks caused by misappropriation, misuse, leakage, falsification or intentional or accidental release or loss of information maintained in the information systems and networks of our company and our vendors, including personal information of our employees, and company and vendor confidential data. Like other companies, we have on occasion experienced, and believe we will continue to experience, data security incidents involving access to company data or other threats to our data and systems. As previously disclosed, recent cybersecurity incidents and compromises affecting similarly situated companies, including an incident that affected us in 2024, suggest that the risk of such events is significant, even if data protection and security measures are implemented and enforced. Moreover, the risks posed by widespread adoption of artificial intelligence have impacted the attack surfaces targeted by threat actors. If a material breach of our information technology systems or those of our vendors occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and our reputation and credibility could be damaged.
We could be required to expend significant amounts of money and other resources to respond to these threats or breaches, and to repair or replace information systems or networks and could suffer financial loss or the loss of valuable confidential information. In addition, we could be subject to regulatory actions and/or claims made by individuals and groups in private litigation involving privacy issues related to data collection and use practices and other data privacy laws and regulations, including claims for misuse or inappropriate disclosure of data, as well as unfair or deceptive practices. Moreover, despite our efforts, the possibility of these events occurring cannot be eliminated entirely and there can be no assurance that any measures we take will prevent cyber-attacks or cybersecurity incidents or compromises that could adversely affect our business. Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our privacy and data security obligations. Further, although we maintain cyber liability insurance, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities related to any experienced cybersecurity incident or breach.
Changes in laws and regulations governing the privacy and protection of data and personal information could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to data privacy and security laws and regulations in various jurisdictions that apply to the collection, transmission, storage, security and use of personal data, which among other things, impose significant compliance obligations. Numerous federal and state laws, including state security breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure and security of personal information. These laws and regulations continue to change and evolve and are increasing in breadth and impact.
For example, with respect to the collection and processing of personal data relating to the EU, European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingdom (“UK”), we are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the “EU GDPR”), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), as well as applicable data protection laws in effect in the Member States of the EEA and in the UK (including the UK Data Protection Act 2018) which govern the processing of personal data in connection with (a) the offering of goods or services to/the monitoring of the behavior of individuals in the UK and EEA; or (b) the activities of our establishments in the UK and any EEA Member State. The UK’s data protection regime is independent from but aligned to the EU’s data protection regime. In this Form 10-K, “GDPR” refers to both the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR, unless specified otherwise. The GDPR is wide-ranging in scope and imposes numerous requirements on companies that process personal data, including imposing special requirements in respect of the processing of health and other sensitive data, requiring that consent of individuals to whom the personal data relates is obtained in certain circumstances, requiring additional disclosures to individuals regarding data processing activities, requiring that safeguards are implemented to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data, limiting retention periods for personal data, creating mandatory data breach notification requirements in certain circumstances, and requiring that certain measures (including contractual requirements) are put in place when engaging third-party service providers. The GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the UK and EEA that do not ensure an adequate level of protection, including the United States in certain circumstances, unless derogation exists or a valid GDPR transfer mechanism. For example, the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum have been put in place, and transfer impact assessments conducted. Any inability to transfer personal data from the UK or EEA to the United States in compliance with data protection laws may impede our operations and may adversely affect our business and financial position. In 2025, the Data (Use and Access) Bill (“DUA Act”) passed both Houses of UK Parliament and received Royal Assent. The DUA Act alters requirements for international data transfers and marks a shift in the UK’s approach to data protection. Future UK laws and
22
Table of Contents
regulations and their interaction with those of the EEA could add legal risk, uncertainty, complexity, and cost to our handling of European personal data and our privacy and security compliance programs, and could require us to implement different compliance measures for the UK and EEA. Failure to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the related national data protection laws of the EEA Member States and the UK may result in fines up to €20 million (17.5 million for the UK GDPR) or 4% of a company’s global annual revenues for the preceding financial year, whichever is higher. The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with Member States’ supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR. Complying with these European data protection laws may impose significant costs or otherwise require us to divert resources or implement changes to our business processes, and any actual or perceived non-compliance could result in significant penalties, claims and reputational damage.
Additionally, we face risks from evolving and uncertain privacy standards in our industry. Numerous states have now passed comprehensive privacy laws and regulations. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) is a comprehensive privacy law that creates individual privacy rights and increased privacy and security obligations on businesses handling the personal data of California residents. The CCPA requires covered businesses to provide certain disclosures to consumers about data collection, use and sharing practices, to allow California residents to opt out of certain sales and disclosures of personal information, and to opt out of certain uses of sensitive personal information, including health information. The law also created a new regulatory agency in California, called CalPrivacy, and that agency’s finalized and proposed regulations are continuing to change the standard of privacy protection we are required to meet. Numerous other states have passed similar consumer privacy laws that are or will be implemented and enforced by various state regulators, creating a complicated national patchwork. Like the CCPA, these laws grant consumers rights in relation to their personal information and impose new obligations on regulated businesses, including, in some instances, broader data security requirements.
In addition, federal and state legislators and regulators are imposing new and heightened protections for health and other sensitive information that could impact our business. For example, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has imposed stringent requirements on the collection and disclosure of sensitive categories of personal information, including health information, and has expanded the application of its Health Breach Notification Rule. Through executive and legislative action, the federal government has also taken steps to restrict data transactions involving certain sensitive data categories – including health data, genetic data, and biospecimens – with persons affiliated with China, Russia, and other countries of concern through the Department of Justice’s January 8, 2025 rule on “Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons.” Furthermore, some states have proposed or enacted legislation specifically focused on health privacy, such as Washington’s My Health My Data Act, and similar statutes in Nevada and Connecticut. The My Health My Data Act went into effect in March 2024 and requires regulated entities to obtain consent to collect health information, grants consumers certain rights, including to request deletion, and provides for robust enforcement mechanisms, including enforcement by the state attorney-general and by litigants through a private right of action for consumer claims. Other states have enacted or proposed laws focused on genetic privacy. These current and future data privacy laws and regulations may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies, incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement, reputational damage, and/or litigation. Furthermore, the number of government investigations and enforcement actions related to data security incidents and privacy violations, with a specific focus on online data sharing, continue to increase and government investigations typically require significant resources and generate negative publicity, which could harm our business and our reputation.
Our customers may also be subject to different privacy laws, rules and legislation, which may mean that they require us to be bound by varying contractual requirements applicable to certain other jurisdictions. Adherence to such contractual requirements may impact our collection, use, processing, storage, security, sharing and disclosure of information. As we expand our customer base, these requirements may vary from customer to customer, further increasing the cost of compliance and doing business.
The use of new and evolving technologies, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), in our offerings may present risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information, and personal data.
We plan to build and integrate AI into our business practices, and the evolving nature of AI technologies and the surrounding legal and regulatory environment presents risks and uncertainties that could affect our business. The use of AI technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including the disclosure or compromise of our confidential information or other proprietary intellectual property through the use of generative artificial intelligence tools. AI could also pose cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, reputational, and other risks and challenges that could affect our business. Specifically, risks related to bias, AI hallucinations, discrimination, harmful content, misinformation, fraud, scams, targeted attacks such as model poisoning or data poisoning, surveillance, data leakage, loss of consensus reality, inequality, environmental harms, and other harms may flow from our development, use, or deployment of AI technologies. Additionally, we expect to see increasing government regulation related to artificial intelligence use and ethics, which may also significantly increase the burden and cost of research, development and compliance in this area. For example, in the U.S., a number of states have proposed or passed dozens of laws over the past year regulating various uses and applications of AI and AI governance, including addressing deployment of AI in healthcare settings. At the federal level, the Trump Administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on enforcement of certain state-level AI regulation,
23
Table of Contents
including through a December 11, 2025 Executive Order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” So far, these efforts have not been successful at curtailing state action on AI regulation, contributing to a complicated legislative patchwork that may be litigated in state and federal courts. In Europe, the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”) began its implementation August 1, 2024 with a large portion scheduled to come into effect in August 2026. As currently enacted, the AI Act, which may now be amended as part of the EU’s Digital Omnibus imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we develop or deploy AI systems that are governed by these laws and regulations, we may be required to implement higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, and adhere to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. Even in the absence of dedicated AI laws and regulations, we may be subject to novel legal and business risks relating to our adoption of these new technologies. Our vendors may in turn incorporate AI tools into their own offerings, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the unauthorized access, theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.
Risks Related to Our Products and Technology
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are unable to obtain or maintain our intellectual property, we may not be able to succeed commercially.
We strive to identify and maintain trade secrets and pursue strategic global patent protection in order to protect our products and processes from unauthorized use, and to produce a financial return consistent with the significant time and expense required to bring our products to market and continue to be competitive in our technical fields.
We consider trade secrets, know-how and other forms of confidentiality protection to be among the most important elements of our proprietary position as it relates to many of the products that currently account for a majority of our revenue. We also own or have exclusive rights to a global portfolio of patents and pending patent applications. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to:
•
preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets, know-how and confidential information;
•
operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties;
•
obtain and maintain global patent protection for our products and processes; and
•
secure licenses from others on acceptable terms.
Though we continue to pursue patent protection, we cannot guarantee that any patent applications will issue on a timely basis, if ever. Even if patents are issued, the degree of protection afforded by such patents will depend upon the:
•
scope of the patent claims; and
•
validity and enforceability of the patent claims.
While we own or have exclusive patent rights directed towards Protein A, other patent grants directed towards Protein A have expired or have been invalidated in litigation proceedings, and as a result, we may face increased competition, which could harm our results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Other companies could begin manufacturing and selling native or some of the commercial forms of recombinant Protein A in the United States and may directly compete with us on certain Protein A products. This may induce us to sell Protein A at lower prices and may erode our market share, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Our freedom to develop, manufacture or sell products may be challenged by others, and we may engage in litigation which, if we do not prevail, could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and future prospects.
Though we are not currently involved in any ongoing litigation or other proceeding regarding intellectual property, litigation or other proceedings may be necessary to assert claims of infringement or misappropriation, to enforce patents issued to us or our licensors, to protect trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property rights we own or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of third parties. Such litigation could result in adverse judgments, substantial costs to us, and diversion of our resources. An adverse outcome in any such litigation or proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Notably, we or our collaborative or strategic partners may be enjoined from manufacturing or selling our products and services without a license from the other party and be held liable for damages.
Relatedly, certain foreign patent applications may be subject to opposition proceedings brought by third parties, which may be costly
24
Table of Contents
and result in loss of protection.
We may become involved in patent litigation or other intellectual property-related proceedings, including the following situations:
•
We may initiate litigation or other proceedings against third parties to seek to invalidate the patents held by such third parties or to obtain a judgment that our products or services do not infringe on such third parties’ patents.
•
We may initiate litigation or other proceedings against third parties to seek to enforce our patents against infringers.
•
We may defend against third party infringement or misappropriation claims involving our processes or products.
•
We may initiate litigation or other proceedings against third parties who misappropriate trade secrets or otherwise breach confidentiality obligations.
Uncertainties due to pending patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Patent litigation and other proceedings may also absorb significant management time, attention and resources.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Governance Related to Cybersecurity Risks
Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) holds overall oversight responsibility for the Company’s strategy and risk management, including in relation to cybersecurity risks. Our Board exercises its oversight function through the Audit Committee, which oversees the management of risk exposure across various areas, including data security risks, in accordance with its charter. The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) on the status of the Company’s cybersecurity program, including measures implemented to monitor and address cybersecurity risks and threats, as appropriate.
The Company has an enterprise risk management committee (“ERMC”) that is composed of senior management, including the CIO and other senior executives. The ERMC monitors and oversees risk areas that could have a high impact on the business, and cybersecurity is currently one of the ERMC’s priority focus areas. The ERMC reports on our top identified risks and steps to address those risks to the full Board on a semi-annual basis.
At the management level, our Senior Director of Cyber Security and IT Risk Management is primarily responsible for leading our cybersecurity strategy for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. He has over 20 years of cybersecurity experience across a wide array of industries, specializing in enterprise security strategy, regulatory compliance and building high-performing cyber programs that support global business operations. Our Senior Director of Cyber Security and IT Risk Management reports directly to our CIO, who is a member of our leadership team and reports to our Chief Financial Officer. Our current CIO has over 29 years of global IT leadership experiences across diverse industries and has spent the last 15 years in the Life Sciences and Health Care sectors. He is responsible for driving the organizations technology strategy, driving innovation, optimizing IT operations, protecting the company's assets, and optimizing business productivity. He is accountable for setting the directional security strategy and continuous improvement plans. He brings a wealth of experience leading and partnering with legal, compliance and audit teams, and leading cybersecurity and enterprise risk management teams.
We also work with a managed security service provider to monitor for vulnerabilities and threats. The service provider has the authority to take remedial actions for critical and high vulnerabilities, which are reported to the Cyber Security and Risk Management Team, and where appropriate, to the CIO and other members of senior management. We engage employees in our cybersecurity efforts through quarterly mandatory security and awareness training as well as monthly simulated phishing campaigns. We also conduct specific training and tabletop exercises for key personnel involved in cybersecurity risk management.
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
We maintain a cybersecurity program, which is informed by industry standards, that includes processes for identification, assessment, and management of cybersecurity risks and which is integrated into our larger enterprise-wide risk management program. We conduct periodic risk assessments, including support from external vendors, to assess our cyber program, identify areas of enhancement, and develop strategies for the mitigation of cyber risks. We also conduct regular security penetration testing and have established a vulnerability management process supported by security testing, to treat identified security risks based on severity. Third parties that access, process, collect, share, create, store, transmit or destroy our information or have access to our systems may have additional contractual controls.
Our Cyber Security and Risk Management Team is informed about and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks through various means, including leveraging managed security service providers and other

third-party security software and technology services. In addition, we institute processes and technologies for the monitoring of security alerts from internal parties and external resources, including from information security research sources. We also have implemented processes and technologies for network monitoring and data loss prevention.
We do not believe that risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected us, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. There is no guarantee that future incidents will not have a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition in the future.

We caution that the stock price performance shown in the graph below is not necessarily indicative of, nor is it intended to forecast, the potential future performance of our common stock.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In June 2008, the Board authorized a program to repurchase up to 1.25 million shares of our common stock to be repurchased at the discretion of management from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions (the “2008 Share Repurchase Program”). The 2008 Repurchase Program has no set expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the 2008 Repurchase Program during the year ended December 31, 2025. In prior years, we repurchased a total of 592,827 shares, leaving 657,173 shares remaining under this authorization.
In December 2023, the Board authorized and approved a stock repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company's common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”) concurrent with the issuance of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2023 Notes. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company used $14.4 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes to repurchase 92,090 shares at a price of $156.22, including transaction costs, to offset the impact of dilution from the issuance of 2023 Notes and equity compensation programs as well as to reduce its outstanding share count. We have elected to retire the shares repurchased to date under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. Retired shares become part of the pool of authorized but unissued shares.

Repligen and its subsidiaries, collectively doing business as Repligen Corporation (“Repligen”, “we”, “our”, or “the Company”) is a global life sciences company that develops and commercializes highly innovated bioprocessing technologies and systems that increase efficiencies and flexibility in the process of manufacturing biological drugs.
As the overall market for biologics continues to grow and expand, our customers – primarily large biopharmaceutical companies and contract development and manufacturing organizations (“CDMOs”) and other life sciences companies (integrators) – face critical production cost, capacity, quality and time pressures. Our products help enable customers to address these concerns, both accelerating development and improving yields. We are committed to inspiring advances in bioprocessing as a trusted partner in the production of critical biologic drugs – including monoclonal antibodies (“mAbs”) and mAb derivatives like antibody drug conjugates, recombinant proteins, RNA-based therapeutics and vaccines and cell and gene therapies – that are improving human health worldwide. For more information regarding our business, products and acquisitions, see above sections in Part I, Item 1. "Business", included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Macroeconomic Trends
As a result of our global presence, a significant portion of our revenue and expenses is denominated in currencies other than the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. We are therefore subject to non-U.S. exchange exposure. Exchange rates can be volatile and a substantial weakening or strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar could increase or reduce our revenue and gross profit margin and impact the comparability of results from period to period.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, cost inflation, primarily in raw materials and other supply chain costs, as a result of global macroeconomic trends, including global geopolitical conflicts and labor shortages. Actions taken to mitigate supply chain disruptions and inflation, including price increases and productivity improvements, have generally been successful in offsetting the impact of these trends. We continue to monitor the effects of tariffs implemented by the Trump administration and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs.
2025 Acquisition
Acquisition of 908 Devices PAT Portfolio
On March 4, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of 908 Devices Inc.’s (“908 Devices”) desktop portfolio of four devices for bioprocessing process analytical technology applications (“PAT Portfolio”). In connection with the transaction, Repligen also acquired facilities, employees, equipment and lease obligations for facilities in North Carolina and Braunschweig, Germany as well as certain working capital balances related to the PAT Portfolio. This transaction is referred to as the 908 Devices PAT Portfolio acquisition.
The addition of these desktop assets complements and strengthens Repligen’s differentiated PAT Portfolio that provides its biopharmaceutical and CDMO customers with actionable insights to optimize development processes and improve manufacturing efficiencies.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures require us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments. We believe the accounting policies described below, some of which require estimates, assumptions and judgments, have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and related disclosures. Therefore we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included within Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue recognition
We generate revenue from the sale of bioprocessing products, equipment devices, and related consumables used with these equipment devices to customers in the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring those products or services to customers (“transaction price”). To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, such as sales rebates, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.

Table of Contents
Inventories
We value inventory at cost or, if lower, net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. We review our inventory at least quarterly and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on historical consumption patterns, our estimates of expected future sales volume and expiration dates of raw materials, work-in-process and finished products. We write down inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value, and inventory in excess of expected requirements to cost of goods sold in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss. Manufacturing of bioprocessing finished goods is done to order and tested for quality specifications prior to shipment.
A change in the estimated timing or amount of demand for our products could result in additional provisions for excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, significant unanticipated changes in demand or unexpected quality failures could have a significant impact on the value of inventory and reported operating results.
Business combinations
Total consideration transferred for acquisitions is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. This purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions with respect to intangible assets. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions determined by management. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as any contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss.
Fair value of contingent consideration includes estimates and judgments made by management regarding the probability that future contingent payments will be made and the extent of payments to be earned in excess of defined minimum sales thresholds and achievement of defined milestones. To the extent that our estimates change in the future regarding the likelihood of achieving these targets, we may need to record material adjustments to our accrued contingent consideration. Such changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded as contingent consideration in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss.
We use the income approach to determine the fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships and developed technology. This approach determines fair value by estimating after-tax cash flows attributable to these assets over their respective useful lives and then discounting these after-tax cash flows back to a present value. The Company bases its assumptions on estimates of future cash flows, expected growth rates, expected trends in technology, etc. Discount rates used to arrive at a present value as of the date of acquisition are based on the time value of money and certain industry-specific risk factors. The Company believes the estimated purchased customer relationships, developed technologies, trademark/tradename and other intangible assets identified in its acquisitions represent the fair value at the date of acquisition, and do not exceed the amount a third-party would pay for such assets.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method and the amortization expense is recorded within cost of goods sold, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss. Intangible assets and their related useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if any adverse conditions exist, that would indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. More frequent impairment assessments are conducted if certain conditions exist, including a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the marketplace, including changes in the prices paid for the Company’s products or changes in the size of the market for the Company’s products. If impairment indicators are present, the Company determines whether the underlying intangible asset is recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the asset is not found to be recoverable, it is written down to the estimated fair value of the asset based on the sum of the future discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition of the asset. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. The Company continues to believe that its definite-lived intangible assets are recoverable at December 31, 2025.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. There has been no impairment of our intangible assets for the periods presented.

Income taxes
Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate our tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We are required to provide for tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We adopted an accounting policy to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense.
In addition, we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from such examinations. We believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, the final determination of any of these examinations could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue:
Product revenue
We are continuously focused on selling our products directly to customers in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, including CDMOs. These direct sales have represented 90.8% of our total product revenue during 2025 compared to 89.7% of our total product revenue in 2024. Sales of our bioprocessing products can be impacted by the timing of large-scale production orders which may result in significant quarterly fluctuations.
Product revenues were comprised of the following:
Year Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)
Revenue from the sale of our products which make up our filtration, chromatography, process analytics and proteins franchises comes from the sale of a number of products as described in Part I, Item 1. “Business - Our Products” of this report.
In 2025, product revenue increased by $103.8 million, or 16.4% , compared to 2024. This growth is widespread across our portfolio of products and includes significant contributions from all our franchises. Geographically, product revenue increased 15.7% in North America, 16.0% in Europe and 19.3% in Asia Pacific and the rest of the world. Related to our acquisitions, products acquired from

908 Devices contributed $9.3 million in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2024 included $11.5 million of COVID-19 related sales.
Royalty and other revenue
Royalty and other revenue for all periods presented relate to royalties received from a third-party systems manufacturer associated with our OPUS® chromatography columns. Royalty revenues are variable and are dependent on sales generated by our partners.
Costs and operating expenses
Total costs and operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were comprised of the following:
Year Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)
Cost of goods sold
In 2025, cost of goods sold decreased $7.8 million, or 2.2%, compared to 2024. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily due to lower costs related to scrap, excess and obsolete inventory and restructuring activities in 2025, compared to those incurred in 2024. Restructuring relates to activities to simplify and streamline our organization and strengthen the overall effectiveness of our operations. These decreases were partially offset by higher export duties, direct material and labor costs.
In 2025, gross margin was 52.3%, compared to 43.3% in 2024. The increase in gross margin resulted from the decrease in cost of goods sold as described above.
See Note 5, “Restructuring Activities and Other Inventory-Related Charges” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included within Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for more detail.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses (“R&D”) expenses are related to the development of products supporting bioprocessing operations, which include personnel compensation, supplies and other research expenses. Due to the fact that these various programs share personnel and fixed costs, we have not provided historical costs incurred by project.
In 2025, R&D expenses increased $11.0 million, or 25.4%, compared to 2024. The increase in R&D costs is primarily driven by the 908 Devices PAT Portfolio and Tantti acquisitions, which have been included in our consolidated results of operations since the acquisition dates of March 2025 and December 2024, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include the costs associated with selling our commercial products and costs required to support our marketing efforts. It also includes legal, accounting, patent, shareholder services, amortization of intangible assets and other administrative functions.
In 2025, SG&A costs increased $27.1 million, or 10.3%, compared to 2024. The increase in SG&A is primarily driven by an investment in personnel costs to support growth, increased headcount, and incremental professional services, primarily driven by our acquisition and integration activities. These increases were partially offset by the incremental stock-based compensation expense incurred during 2024 associated with the modification of our former Chief Executive Officer’s (“CEO”) unvested equity awards in connection with their transition from CEO to Executive Chair of our Board of Directors. See Note 11, “Stockholders' Equity” included within Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Contingent consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration represents the change in fair value of the obligation included in current and noncurrent contingent consideration on the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of each period. Remeasurement of the contingent consideration obligation is done each quarter and the carrying value of the obligation is adjusted to the current fair value through our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The changes during 2025 compared to 2024 were related to revisions to the amount and expected timing of future revenues underlying certain contingent payments and a change in market inputs used to calculate the discount rate.

Other income, net
The table below provides detail regarding our other income, net:
Year Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)
Investment income
Investment income includes income earned on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our investment income decreased $8.3 million in 2025, compared to 2024 due to a reduction in interest rates and varying average cash and marketable securities balances during the period. We expect investment income to vary based on changes in the amount of funds invested and fluctuation of interest rates.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $0.8 million in 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. Interest expense includes contractual coupon interest on our outstanding convertible notes and the associated accretion of the discount. The discount is being accreted into interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2023 Notes, as defined below. See Note 13, “Convertible Senior Notes” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included within Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detail.
Amortization of debt issuance costs
Transaction costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the 2023 Notes, as defined below, are amortized and recorded within amortization of debt issuance costs on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net increased $8.0 million in 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Other income (expense), net primarily includes the changes in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, revaluation impact of intercompany loans with subsidiaries and unrealized and realized impacts of foreign exchange forward contracts.
Income tax provision (benefit)
Income tax provision (benefit) was as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(Amounts in thousands)
Effective tax rate 21.6 % 5.6 %
For year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an income tax provision of $13.5 million. The effective tax rate was 21.6% for 2025 and is based upon the income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the composition of income in different jurisdictions.
The difference in effective tax rates between the periods was primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes, nontaxable contingent consideration, lower nondeductible stock-based compensation and an increase in valuation allowance offset by stock windfall tax benefits. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was more than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in valuation allowance offset by nontaxable contingent consideration and stock windfall tax benefits.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted into law new tax legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which contains several provisions modifying the corporate income tax code such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, updates to the international tax framework and the reinstatement of certain business-related provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with provisions taking effect from 2025 through 2027. The changes effective in 2025 are included in our provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 and were not material. We do not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations in future periods.
See Note 10, “Income Taxes” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included within Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detail.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations primarily through revenues derived from product sales, and the issuance of notes and public offerings. Our revenue for the foreseeable future will primarily be limited to our bioprocessing product revenue.
At December 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $767.6 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $757.4 million at December 31, 2024.
On December 14, 2023, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2023 Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to separate, privately negotiated exchange and subscription agreements (the “Exchange and Subscription Agreements”) with a limited number of holders of the 0.375% Convertible Notes due 2024 (the “2019 Notes”) and certain other qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Pursuant to the Exchange and Subscription Agreements, the Company exchanged $217.7 million of its 2019 Notes for $309.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the “Exchange Transaction”) and issued $290.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (the “Subscription Transactions”) for $290.1 million in cash. Proceeds from the Subscription Transactions amounted to $276.1 million after debt issuance costs of $13.9 million.
The 2023 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year and have an effective interest rate of 4.39%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each of June 15 and December 15, which commenced on June 15, 2024. The 2023 Notes will mature on December 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the closing price of the Company’s common stock did not exceed 130% of the conversion price of the 2023 Notes for more than 20 trading days of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter. As a result, the 2023 Notes are not convertible at the option of the holders of the 2023 Notes during the first quarter of 2026, the quarter immediately following the quarter when the conditions are met, as stated in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes.

Operating activities
For 2025, our operating activities provided cash of $117.4 million reflecting net income of $48.9 million and non-cash charges totaling $119.4 million primarily related to depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, right of use asset amortization, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, contingent consideration fair value adjustments, net unrealized foreign exchange gains and deferred income taxes. The non-cash charges were partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital of $50.9 million. Contributing to this was increases in accounts receivable of $17.2 million, due to timing of sales and collections from customers, increases in inventory of $14.9 million, to support revenue growth and future orders, increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $9.3 million and decreases in operating lease liabilities of $15.5 million, due to normal course rent payments. These unfavorable changes in working capital were partially offset by increases in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $6.0 million, due to timing in payments to vendors.
For 2024, our operating activities provided cash of $175.4 million reflecting net loss of $25.5 million and non-cash charges totaling $140.0 million primarily related to depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, contingent consideration fair value adjustments, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation charges, loss on disposal of fixed assets, and right of use asset amortization. A decrease in inventory contributed $56.9 million to the positive change in working capital, of which $36.1 million was related to our previous restructuring activities and other inventory-related charges. Accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $19.0 million due to the timing of payments to vendors. Partially offsetting these favorable changes, accounts receivable increased $14.0 million due to timing of sales and receipts from customers.
Investing activities
Our investing activities consumed $298.5 million of cash in 2025, primarily due to $200.3 million in cash used for the purchase of marketable securities and $70.3 million, net of cash acquired, primarily used for the acquisition of the 908 Devices PAT Portfolio. Capital expenditures during 2025 consumed $25.7 million, inclusive of $2.2 million of capitalized costs related to our internal-use software.

In addition, in November 2024, the Company amended the License Agreement (the “Daylight Agreement”) with DRS Daylight Solutions, Inc. (“Daylight”) to extend the License Agreement one additional year for a one-time payment of $3.0 million.
Financing activities
Our financing activities consumed $15.2 million of cash in 2025, which was driven by $8.8 million of cash disbursed related to the tax withholding obligation on vesting of restricted stock units and $9.5 million to settle the cash portions of the contingent consideration earnout obligations related to acquisitions from previous years. These cash outflows are partially offset by proceeds received from stock option exercises of $3.2 million.
In 2024, cash consumed by financing activities was $82.9 million, driven primarily by the repayment of the 2019 Notes of $69.9 million, $9.9 million in cash disbursed for shares withheld to cover employee income tax due upon the vesting and release of restricted stock units, and $7.3 million paid to settle the cash portion of the contingent earnout obligation related to our acquisition of Avitide in September 2021. These payments were partially offset by proceeds received from stock option exercises during the period.
We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2025:
Payment due between
(1) Represents future interest and principal payments on the 2023 Notes. For further detail on the 2023 Notes, see Note 13, “Convertible Senior Notes“, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included within Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2) In connection with the acquisition of Tantti, we have an obligation to pay a maximum of $54.5 million (undiscounted) in contingent consideration earnout payments in cash over a three-year earnout period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027. Amounts above represent the expected fair value we expect to pay for the obligation as of December 31, 2025. See Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements” and Note 4, “Acquisitions,” for additional information
(3) Represents future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases. For more information on our lease obligations, see Note 6, “Leases”, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, included within Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(4) Represents future payments for legally binding software and raw material purchase commitments.
Capital Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:
•
the expansion of our bioprocessing business;
•
the ability to sustain sales and profits of our bioprocessing products and successfully integrate them into our business;
•
our ability to acquire additional bioprocessing products;
•
the scope of and progress made in our R&D activities;
•
the scope of investment in our intellectual property portfolio;
•
contingent consideration earnout payments resulting from our acquisitions;
•
the extent of any share repurchase activity;
•
the success of any proposed financing efforts;

Table of Contents
•
general economic and capital markets;
•
change in accounting standards;
•
the impact of inflation on our operations, including our expenditures on raw material and freight charges;
•
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and
•
costs associated with our ability to comply with emerging environmental, social and governance standards.
Absent acquisitions of additional products, product candidates or intellectual property, we believe our current cash balances and future cash flow from operations are adequate to meet our cash needs for at least the next 24 months. We expect operating expenses in 2026 to increase as we continue to expand our bioprocessing business. We expect to incur continued spending related to the development and expansion of our bioprocessing product lines and expansion of our commercial capabilities for the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements may include, but are not limited to, purchases of property, plant and equipment, the acquisition of additional bioprocessing products and technologies to complement our existing manufacturing capabilities, and continued investment in our intellectual property portfolio.
We plan to continue to invest in our bioprocessing business and in key R&D activities associated with the development of new bioprocessing products. We actively evaluate various strategic transactions on an ongoing basis, including licensing or acquiring complementary products, technologies or businesses that would complement our existing portfolio. We continue to seek to acquire such potential assets that may offer us the best opportunity to create value for our shareholders. In order to acquire such assets, we may need to seek additional financing to fund these investments. If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, for example, due to acquisition-related financing needs or lower demand for our products, among potential other events, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt funding. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our shareholders, and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
At December 31, 2025, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $7.5 million, state net operating loss carryforwards of $15 million, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $27.4 million. The federal net operating loss carryforwards have unlimited carryforward periods and do not expire. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2045. Approximately $5.7 million of the foreign net operating loss carryforwards have unlimited carryforward periods and do not expire, while $21.7 million of the foreign net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2034. We had federal and state business tax credit carryforwards of $7.1 million available to reduce future federal and state income taxes. The business tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2045. Net operating loss carryforwards and available tax credits are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service, state and foreign jurisdictions and may be limited in the event of certain changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders.
Foreign Earnings
As of December 31, 2025, we have accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries. We have not provided for taxes on outside basis differences of our foreign subsidiaries as it is not practicable and we have the ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and there are no needs for such earnings in the United States that would contradict our plan to indefinitely reinvest.
Effects of Inflation
Our assets are primarily monetary, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Because of their liquidity, these assets are not directly affected by inflation. Since we intend to retain and continue to use our equipment, furniture, fixtures and office equipment, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, we believe that the incremental inflation related to replacement costs of such items will not materially affect our operations. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as those for employee compensation and contract services, which could increase our level of expenses and the rate at which we use our resources.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We have historically held investments in commercial paper, United States (“U.S.”) treasury and government securities as well as corporate bonds and other debt securities. As a result, we have been exposed to potential loss from market risks that may occur as a result of changes in interest rates, changes in credit quality of the issuer or otherwise. As of December 31, 2025, our investment portfolio consists of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our cash equivalents consist primarily of money market mutual funds, including government and prime funds, and our marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury bills. As of December 31, 2025, total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are $767.6 million. Our money market mutual funds and U.S. treasury bills have short-term maturity periods that dampen the impact of market or interest rate risk. As a result, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have no effect on our cash position as of December 31, 2025.
We manage our investment portfolio in accordance with our investment policy or approval by the Board of Directors. The primary objectives of our investment policy are to preserve principal, maintain a high degree of liquidity to meet operating and other needs, and obtain competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions without significantly increasing risk.
Our Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2023 Notes”), carry a fixed interest rate of 1.00% per year. Since the 2023 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in rates relative to our debt instruments.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The reporting currency of the Company is U.S. dollars, and the functional currency of each of our foreign subsidiaries is its respective local currency. Our foreign currency exposures include the Swedish Krona, Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar, South Korean Won and Indian Rupee; of these, the primary foreign currency exposures are the Swedish Krona, Euro and Chinese Yuan. Exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation between the transactional currency and the functional currency are included in net income. Fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Although a majority of our contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, 39.5% of total revenues were denominated in foreign currencies for the year ended December 31, 2025.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Financial statements and supplementary data required by Item 8 are set forth at the pages indicated in Item 15(a) below and are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.
(b) Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial

reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
•
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
•
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We acquired 908 Devices Inc.’s desktop portfolio of four devices (the “908 Devices PAT Portfolio”) on March 4, 2025 and the financial results of this acquisition are included in our audited consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2025. The Company's consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2025 includes $69.1 million from the 908 Devices PAT Portfolio acquisition and $9.3 million of associated revenue from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2025. As this acquisition occurred during 2025, the scope of our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting does not include this acquisition. This exclusion is in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our scope in the year of such acquisition.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:
1.
Management identified deficiencies related to the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to revenue recognition specific to the evaluation of accounting for contract terms (as originally reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023).
2.
Management did not maintain effective information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not maintain logical access controls and program change management controls to ensure that access to programs and data are appropriately restricted and program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately. As a result, automated and business process controls that rely on information from the systems were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely affected.
3.
Irrespective of the effects of the IT general controls deficiencies, management did not perform certain business process-level controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process either in a timely manner or with an appropriate precision threshold.
As further described below, the material weakness related to revenue recognition has been remediated and no longer exists as of December 31, 2025. Since the identification of the material weaknesses associated with IT general controls and business process controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process, management has taken steps to remediate the material weaknesses as described below. While management believes it has made progress toward achieving effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the material weaknesses associated with IT general controls and business process controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process were not remediated as of December 31, 2025. Based on these unremediated material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that at December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness –
Revenue Recognition
•
During 2025, we designed and implemented enhanced internal controls over revenue recognition specific to the evaluation of accounting for contract terms. This included designing and implementing new internal controls to validate that there is a complete listing of revenue contracts and that non-standard terms within revenue contracts which require incremental accounting analysis under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 “Revenue from contracts with Customers” are identified; designing and implementing new internal controls to identify contract amendments and terminations, including
37
Table of Contents
amendments and terminations accounted for as contract modifications; enhancing and expanding our existing revenue recognition control procedures and attributes when evaluating the accounting impact of non-standard contract terms and contract modifications; and increasing education for internal resources on accounting for contracts within the scope of ASC 606 and deploying enablers to facilitate documentation of accounting analyses and conclusions. Based upon the successful execution of the remediation plan previously disclosed and the testing and evaluation of the operating effectiveness of internal controls over revenue recognition specific to the evaluation of accounting for contract terms, we have concluded this material weakness has been remediated and no longer existed as of December 31, 2025.
Remediation Plan – Material Weaknesses
As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting, we have and will continue to implement remedial actions under the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board to address the remaining material weaknesses.
IT General Controls - During the year ended December 31, 2025, our remediation activities included the following with respect to IT general controls:
•
Incorporating the use of automated workflows to manage the granting and monitoring of access within IT systems relevant to the preparation of our financial statements;
•
Redesigning existing controls with additional attributes to mitigate the presumed IT risk relevant to the control;
•
Assessing or modifying the frequency at which certain controls operate to contribute to more timely operation;
•
Improving the monitoring of certain elevated access to support the activity executed aligns with an approved business/IT need; and
•
Reinforcing the importance of IT system controls and improved oversight of the IT organization through the addition of new IT resources.
We continue to focus on the redesign of certain controls and the execution of controls that we worked to improve during fiscal year 2025 that did not operate for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate operating effectiveness as of December 31, 2025.
Business process-level controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process - During the year ended December 31, 2025, our remediation activities included the following with respect to certain business process-level controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process:
•
Reassessing the operating effectiveness of these controls, including precision thresholds, timely execution, and documentation requirements for control owners;
•
Assessing the frequency of our control monitoring activities to ensure that they are conducted in a timely manner; and
•
Hiring additional staff, including external experts, to enhance the performance, documentation and monitoring of such controls. This includes providing training for control owners setting out expectations as it relates to the control risk and design, execution and monitoring of such controls, including enhancements to the documentation to evidence the execution of the control.
While all business process controls related to inventory valuation and the financial statement close process have been designed and implemented and we monitored and evaluated their effectiveness during 2025, some controls have not operated effectively for a sufficient period of time, as of December 31, 2025, to assert the material weaknesses have been remediated.
We believe we are making progress toward achieving effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The actions that we are taking are subject to ongoing management review and Audit Committee oversight. We will not be able to conclude whether the steps we are taking will fully remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting until we have completed our remediation efforts and subsequently evaluated their design and effectiveness over a sufficient period of time, and management concludes, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We may also conclude that additional measures are required to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Our CEO and CFO have certified that, based on their knowledge, our consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Repligen Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Repligen Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Repligen Corporation (the Company) has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.
