BioLife Solutions, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1.    Organization and significant accounting policies
Business
BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“BioLife”, “us”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of a portfolio of bioproduction tools and services including proprietary biopreservation media, automated thawing devices, cloud-connected shipping containers, ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers, and biological and pharmaceutical materials storage. Our CryoStor® freeze media and HypoThermosol® hypothermic storage media are optimized to preserve cells in the regenerative medicine market. These novel biopreservation media products are serum-free and protein-free, fully defined, and are formulated to reduce preservation-induced cell damage and death. Our Sexton cell processing product line includes human platelet lysates (“hPL”) for cell expansion, reducing risk and improving downstream performance over fetal bovine serum, human serum, and other chemically defined media, CellSeal® cryogenic vials that are purpose-built rigid containers used in cell and gene therapy (“CGT”) that can be filled manually or with high throughput systems, and automated cell processing machines that bring multiple processes traditionally performed by manual techniques under a higher level of control to protect therapies from loss or contamination. Our ThawSTAR® product line is composed of a family of automated thawing devices for frozen cell and gene therapies packaged in cryovials and cryobags. These products help administer temperature-sensitive biologic therapies to patients by standardizing the thawing process and reducing the risks of contamination and overheating, which are inherent with the use of traditional water baths. Our cryogenic freezer technology provides for controlled rate freezing and cryogenic storage of biologic materials. Our ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers allow biological materials and vaccines to be stored at temperatures which range from negative 20℃ to negative 86℃. Our evo® shipping containers provide cloud-connected passive storage and transport containers for temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceuticals. Our biological and pharmaceutical materials storage services provide facilities that allow for real-time tracking of biologic materials and vaccines that can be stored at a wide range of temperatures.
On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Global Cooling”), to GCI Holdings Company, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“GCI Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and GCI Holdings (the “Global Cooling Divestiture”). The Global Cooling Divestiture was considered a subsequent event to the financial results presented as of March 31, 2024. Global Cooling is therefore presented as a part of our continuing operations as of the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information on the Global Cooling Divestiture, see Note 19: Subsequent events.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s net realizable value of inventory, sales tax liabilities, valuation of market-based stock awards, valuations, fair value of marketable debt securities, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration from business combinations, and provision for income taxes.
The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Basis of presentation

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are unaudited, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for a
9

full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in accordance with U.S. GAAP, however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAVSU Technologies, Inc. (“SAVSU”), Arctic Solutions, Inc. doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems (“CBS”), SciSafe Holdings, Inc. (“SciSafe”), BioLife Solutions B.V, Global Cooling, Inc. doing business as Stirling Ultracold (“Global Cooling” or “GCI”), and Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Sexton”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
Foreign currency translation
The Company translates items presented on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows into U.S. dollars. For the Company’s subsidiaries that operate in a local currency functional environment, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates at the balance sheet date; revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity.
Segment reporting
The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as one reportable segment and one reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report.
Liquidity and capital resources

On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $46.1 million and $52.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively. Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”).
Risks and uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressure, the overall effects of economic uncertainty on customers' purchasing patterns, high interest rates, and other
10

factors. It is not possible to accurately predict the future impact of such events and circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
For additional information, see caption “Risk Factors” identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
Concentrations of credit risk and business risk
Significant customers are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable balances for the periods and as of each balance sheet date presented. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and gross accounts receivable as a percentage of total gross accounts receivable as of the periods presented were as follows:

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company updated its methodology for determining the country of origin for its sales. Sales are now recorded by shipping country rather than billing country. The Company updated the methodology retrospectively, adjusting the prior year presentation for all regions presented.
(2) The line item presented above previously bifurcated sales between the United States and Canada. Due to the updated methodology for determining the country of origin for sales, it was noted that Canada no longer was a material location to separately disclose. Canada sales have been included within the "Other" line item in the table above and United States sales have been retained as a single line item to more accurately reflect origin of sales for material regions.
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, one supplier accounted for 13% of purchases. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, one supplier accounted for 15% of purchases.

As of March 31, 2024, one supplier accounted for 11% of our accounts payable. As of December 31, 2023, one supplier accounted for 12% of our accounts payable.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures of public companies. The final rules require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks and their impact; activities to mitigate or adapt to material climate-related risks; governance and oversight of climate-related risks; and material Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions with an accompanying assurance report required following an initial transition period, at a limited assurance level, and then following an additional transition period, at a reasonable assurance level. In addition, the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates are required to be disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements in certain circumstances.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the implementation of the final rules pending the completion of judicial review of the consolidated challenges to the final rules by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The final rules, as originally issued, would be effective for the Company in various fiscal years, starting with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. Disclosures pursuant to the final rules, as originally issued, would be required prospectively, with information for prior periods required only to the extent it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rules on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
2.    Correction of immaterial errors
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we determined that an error existed in our previously issued consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we identified we had not properly accelerated stock compensation expense related to unvested shares of market-based awards of certain employees upon their termination during the fourth quarter of 2023. The error was evaluated under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 1M, "Materiality," and SEC SAB Topic 1N, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements" to determine the materiality of prior period misstatements to the Company’s financial statements. We evaluated the error and concluded that it was not material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements. Although the error was not material to any period, we corrected the accompanying historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 to reflect the additional stock compensation expense incurred within each period for comparative purposes.
The following table represents the adjustments to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 in accordance with ASC 250. The adjustments to our Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity was limited to the adjustments outlined below.
The effect of the adjustments to our Consolidated balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

Accumulated deficit(313,342)(1,575)(314,917)
3.    Fair value measurement
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”), the Company measures its financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values of certain of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying value of our marketable debt securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale, are classified within either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. The carrying values of our long-term debt, which is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, approximates fair value as our borrowings with lenders are at interest rates that approximate market rates for comparable loans. The fair values of investments and contingent consideration classified as Level 3 were derived from management assumptions. The Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis when applying acquisition accounting.
12

ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value fair hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value of the SciSafe contingent consideration liability was valued based on unobservable inputs using a Monte Carlo simulation. These inputs included the estimated amount and timing of projected future revenue, a discount rate of 4.5%, a risk-free rate of approximately 0.2%, asset volatility of 60%, and revenue volatility of 15%. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement of the liability. Generally, changes used in the assumptions for projected future revenue and revenue volatility would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value measurement. Conversely, changes in the discount rate would be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the related fair value measurement. However, due to the contingent consideration having a maximum payout amount, changes in these assumptions would not affect the fair value of the contingent consideration if they increase (decrease) beyond certain amounts. At the acquisition date, the contingent consideration was determined to have a fair value of $3.7 million. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the SciSafe contingent consideration liability was re-measured to fair value with changes recorded in the Change in fair value of contingent consideration in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the most recent re-measurement of the contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined it appropriate to write-off the remaining balance of the SciSafe contingent consideration liability. The target revenue required for earnout was not met during the year ended December 31, 2023 and had been determined to not be probable to achieve in future years. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.7 million associated with the contingent consideration liability was included within the Change in fair value of contingent consideration in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
There were no remeasurements to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2024 of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

6.    Leases
The Company has various operating lease agreements for office space, warehouses, manufacturing, and production locations as well as vehicles and other equipment. Our real estate leases had original lease terms of three to eleven years and have remaining lease terms of one to eight years. We exclude options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised from our lease terms, ranging from one to five years. Our lease payments consist primarily of fixed rental payments for the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease terms, with all other lease payments consisting of variable lease costs. For certain leases, we receive incentives from our landlords, such as rent abatements, which effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for these leases. Vehicle and other equipment operating leases had original lease terms of four to five years and have remaining terms between one and five years.
Our financing leases relate to research equipment, machinery, and other equipment.

12.    Commitments and contingencies
Employment agreements
We have employment agreements with certain key employees. None of these employment agreements is for a definitive period, but rather each will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with its terms. The agreements provide for a base annual salary, payable in monthly (or shorter) installments. Under certain conditions and for certain of these officers, we may be required to pay additional amounts upon terminating the employee or upon the employee resigning for good reason.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently material to the Company’s business. The Company’s industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding intellectual property. As a result, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings from time to time. The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Management is not aware of any significant pending or threatened litigation that is anticipated to result in unfavorable judgments against the Company.
Indemnification
As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify its officers and directors for certain errors and occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its directors. The Company believes the fair value of the
19

indemnification rights and agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of March 31, 2024, our total short-term obligations were $10.0 million.
Non-income related taxes
Companies are required to collect and remit sales tax from certain customers if the company is determined to have nexus in a particular state. Upon the determination of nexus, which varies by state, companies are additionally required to maintain detailed record of specific product and customer information within each jurisdiction in which it has established nexus to appropriately determine their sales tax liability, requiring technical knowledge of each jurisdiction’s tax case law. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a sales tax liability related to the periods of 2019 through 2023 was probable and determined an estimated liability. The estimated liability was approximately $5.0 million and $5.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Due to the variety of jurisdictions in which this estimated liability relates to and our ongoing assessment of sales taxes owed, we cannot predict when final liabilities will be satisfied. We will reevaluate the estimated liability and timing of satisfaction each reporting period.
13.    Long-term debt
Global Cooling Term Notes
In May 2021, the Company assumed three term notes in the acquisition of Global Cooling. At the time of acquisition, these notes carried aggregate outstanding principal balances of $4.4 million. These term notes bore interest at a floating rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 6.5%. The term notes included financial covenants tied to the performance of Global Cooling.
In October 2021, the Company entered into amended and restated term notes for all three term notes (the “Global Cooling Term Notes”) with two lenders. As amended, the principal amount borrowed pursuant to the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes” consisted of an aggregate $4.6 million, with one lender providing two term notes in the principal amount of $1.4 million per note and a separate lender providing one term note in the principal amount of $1.8 million. The maturity dates for the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes are July 17, 2024, September 7, 2024, and December 18, 2027, respectively. All three Global Cooling Amended Term Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0%, were interest-only with one balloon principal payment at maturity, and could be pre-paid without penalty at any time. The Company fully extinguished the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes with maturity dates of September 7, 2024 and July 17, 2024 on September 20, 2022 and July 17, 2023, respectively. All financial covenants included in the original term notes previously in effect were removed upon amendment and restatement pursuant to the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes.
In connection with the Global Cooling Divestiture as of April 17, 2024, the Company fully extinguished the remaining balance of the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes, totaling $2.6 million. For additional information regarding the Global Cooling Divestiture and associated costs incurred by the Company, see Note 19: Subsequent events.
Term Loan
On September 20, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for a term loan in an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $60 million in the increments and upon the dates and milestones described below (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on June 1, 2026. The Loan Agreement permitted the Company to borrow up to $30 million upon the initial closing of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Closing”), and provided options to borrow (i) up to $10 million between the Term Loan Closing and June 30, 2023, (ii) up to $10 million upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones by the Company, and (iii) an additional $10 million at the discretion of the lender. The Company borrowed $20 million at the Term Loan Closing and accounts for the Term Loan at cost. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not drawn additional funding nor had it met the revenue milestones outlined within the Loan Agreement. The Company had until December 31, 2023 to draw an additional $10 million, subject to approval from the lender, and therefore has no
20

additional opportunities under the Loan Agreement. Payments on the borrowing are interest-only through June 2024, with additional criteria allowing for interest-only payments to continue through June 2025. Tranches borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.5%. However, the interest rate is subject to a ceiling that restricts the interest rate for each tranche from exceeding 1.0% above the overall rate applicable to each tranche at their respective funding dates and has a balloon payment due at the earliest of term loan maturity, repayment of the Term Loan in full, or termination of the Loan Agreement at $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2024, the implied interest rate of the Term Loan is 6.6% and the implied value of the Term Loan is $20.4 million. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement.
On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to the Term Loan (the “Amendment”) by and among Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”) and the Company and its subsidiaries. For additional information on the Amendment, see Note 19: Subsequent events.

Equipment loans are secured by the financed equipment.
In connection with the Global Cooling Divestiture as of April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment as described above to remove Global Cooling as a party to the Loan Agreement and to release Bank's security interest in the assets of Global Cooling and the shares of capital stock of Global Cooling arising under the Loan Agreement.

14.    Revenue
To determine revenue recognition for contractual arrangements that we determine are within the scope of FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify each contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the relevant performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price, taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our deferred revenue balance totaled $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.
The Company primarily recognizes product revenues, service revenues, and rental revenues. Product revenues are generated from the sale of cell processing tools, freezers, thawing devices, and cold chain products. We recognize product revenue, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, at a point in time when we transfer control of our products to our customers, which is upon shipment for substantially all transactions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as part of cost of product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Service revenue is generated from the storage of biological and pharmaceutical materials. We recognize service revenue over time as services are performed or ratably over the contract term. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates 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. When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company also generates revenue from the leasing of our property, plant, and equipment, operating right-of-use assets, and evo cold chain systems within its biostorage services product line to customers pursuant to service contracts or rental arrangements entered into with the customer. Revenue from these arrangements is not within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606 as it is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. All customers leasing shippers currently do so under annual rental arrangements. We account for these rental transactions as operating leases and record rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental term.
The Company enters into various customer service agreements (collectively, “Service Contracts”) with customers to provide biological and pharmaceutical storage services. In certain of these Service Contracts, the property, plant, and equipment or operating right-of-use assets used to store the customer product are used only for the benefit of one customer. This is primarily driven by the customer’s desire to ensure that sufficient storage capacity is available in a specific geographic location for a set period of time. These agreements may include extension and termination clauses. These Service Contracts do not allow for customers to purchase the underlying assets.
The Company has assessed its Service Contracts and concluded that certain of the contracts for the storage of customer products met the criteria to be considered a leasing arrangement (“Embedded Leases”), with the Company as the lessor. The specific Service Contracts that met the criteria were those that provided a single customer with the ability to substantially direct the use of the Company’s property, plant, and equipment or operating right-of-use assets.
Applying the practical expedient from ASC Topic 842, consistent with the previous guidance, the Company will continue to recognize operating right-of-use asset embedded lessor arrangements on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in operating right-of-use assets.
22

None of the Embedded Leases identified by the Company qualify as a sales-type or direct finance lease. None of the operating leases for which the Company is the lessor include options for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term or residual value guarantees, nor are any such operating leases with related parties.
Embedded Leases may contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient from ASC Topic 842 to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Non-lease components of the Company’s rental arrangements include reimbursements of lessor costs.
Total bioproduction tools and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were composed of the following:

The estimated revenue in the following table does not include contracts with the original durations of one year or less, amounts of variable consideration attributable to royalties, or contract renewals that are unexercised as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we did not have rental revenue expected to be recognized.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $3.6 million of aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable service-based vesting stock options. Intrinsic value is the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the reporting period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2024. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. We did not recognize stock compensation expense related to service-based options during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no service-based vesting options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The weighted average remaining contractual life of service-based vesting stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2024 is 1.8 years. There were no unrecognized compensation costs for service-based vesting stock options as of March 31, 2024.

Performance-based restricted stock
On March 8, 2024, the Company granted 109,512 shares of performance-based stock to an executive in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain performance conditions based on several Company metrics related to future performance. The grant date fair value of this award was $17.36 per share. The fair value of this award is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ending on December 31, 2025.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $0.2 million related to performance-based restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, there was $1.7 million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to performance-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. We expect to recognize those costs over 1.8 years. Non-cash compensation costs are expensed over the period for which performance was measured.

The aggregate fair value of the performance-based awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.9 million. No performance-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

No performance-based restricted stock awards were granted or vested during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

On February 24, 2022, the Company granted 240,428 shares of market-based stock to its executives in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain a market condition based on total shareholder return ("TSR"). The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Compensation Committee determined the TSR attainment was 125% of the targeted shares and 300,529 shares were granted and immediately vested to the executives of the Company based on our TSR during the period beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023 as compared to the TSR of 20 of our peers. The fair value of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: a historical volatility of 63%, 0% dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate of 1.5%. The historical volatility was based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the Measurement Date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of the award. The fair value of this award of $6.7 million is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date of December 31, 2023.
On January 3, 2023, the Company granted 268,738 shares of market-based stock to its executives in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain a market condition based on TSR. The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. The market-based restricted stock awards will vest as to between 0% and 200% of the number of restricted shares granted to each recipient based on our TSR during the period beginning on January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 as compared to the TSR of 20 of our peers. The fair value of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: a historical volatility of 78%, 0% dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate of 4.4%. The historical volatility was based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the Measurement Date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of the award. The fair value of this

award of $6.8 million is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date of December 31, 2024, excluding $1.6 million of expense recognized in 2023 to reflect accelerations in the vesting period of certain awards.
On March 8, 2024, the Company granted 239,464 shares of market-based stock to its executives in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain a market condition based on TSR. The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. The market-based restricted stock awards will vest as to between 0% and 200% of the number of restricted shares granted to each recipient based on our TSR during the period beginning on January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 as compared to the TSR of 20 of our peers. The fair value of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: a historical volatility of 80%, 0% dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate of 4.6%. The historical volatility was based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the Measurement Date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of the award. The fair value of this award of $6.3 million is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date of December 31, 2025.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $1.1 million and $1.3 million related to market-based restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was $8.6 million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to market-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. We expect to recognize those costs over 1.5 years.
The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards granted was $6.3 million and $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards that vested was $5.1 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Total stock compensation expense
Compensation expense associated with equity-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with awards generally vesting over a 4-year period, and forfeitures recognized as incurred. We recorded total stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as follows:
 Three Months Ended

(In thousands)20242023
Cost of revenue$1,120 $1,631

Sales and marketing costs1,186 1,256 
Research and development costs747 1,183 
Total$6,183 $7,363 
16.    Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes. Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that occur in the relevant period. The income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted in an effective income tax rate of negative 1.2%. Included in the $0.1 million was a discrete tax expense of $0.6 million related to a stock compensation shortfall, which was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
26

The Company’s U.S. projected effective income tax rate without discrete items was negative 1.8%, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance on US deferred tax assets and non-deductible executive compensation offset by state tax benefits and research tax credits.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company’s management evaluates both positive and negative evidence when concluding whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable. After reviewing the evidence available, the Company’s management believes there is uncertainty regarding the future realizability of the U.S. net operating loss carryforward and is projecting a full valuation allowance of $54.7 million by year end. If operating results improve and projections indicate future utilization of the tax attributes, all or a portion of the valuation allowance would be released, resulting in a corresponding non-cash income tax benefit.
17.    Net loss per common share
The Company considers its unvested restricted shares, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, as participating securities, and includes such participating securities in its computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, whichever is more dilutive. In periods when we have a net loss, common stock equivalents are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.
The following table presents computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

18.    Employee benefit plan
The Company sponsors 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees. This plan provides for pre-tax and post-tax contributions for all employees. Employee contributions are voluntary. Employees may contribute up to 100% of their annual compensation to this plan as limited by an annual maximum amount as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches employee contributions in amounts to be determined at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company made $0.3 million in contributions to this plan for the three months ended for both March 31, 2024 and 2023.

19.    Subsequent events
Stock Purchase Agreement for Global Cooling Divestiture
The Company has evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2024 through the date of this filing to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure.
On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and GCI Holdings, which is wholly owned by an consulting contractor of Global Cooling, for the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling to GCI Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. In addition, at the closing of the GCI Divestiture, Global Cooling was required to have $7.0 million in cash on its balance sheet, of which, $4.9 million in cash funded by the Company, and the Company was required to repay approximately $2.6 million of outstanding indebtedness of Global Cooling, and assume certain other liabilities of Global Cooling. Following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the GCI Divestiture was consummated on April 17, 2024. The Company expects to recognize a loss on the GCI Divestiture, calculated as follows:

(2) The Company is utilizing the carrying basis of Global Cooling as of December 31, 2023 as an estimate for its carrying basis as of the date of divestiture. The carrying basis to calculate the loss on disposal will utilize the carrying basis as of the date of divestiture on April 17, 2024, and may differ from the estimate noted here upon disclosure in the second quarter of 2024.
The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company implemented a reduction in force (the “RIF”) related to the business of Global Cooling, which reduced the Company’s workforce by 47 employees (representing approximately 11% of its full-time employees). The Company’s Board of Directors approved the RIF on March 29, 2024, and all affected employees were informed by April 18, 2024, following the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.6 million of charges in connection with the RIF, comprised of approximately $1.3 million of stock compensation expense and approximately $0.3 million in cash expenditures, substantially all of which are expected to be related to employee severance costs. The Company expects to recognize most of these expenditures in the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the RIF. In addition, the Company expects to recognize approximately $4.5 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees of the Company that remained with Global Cooling upon the closing of the GCI Divestiture.
The following table summarizes the additional costs incurred by the Company in connection with closing the GCI Divestiture and expected to be recorded during the second quarter of 2024:

(2) As a condition to close the GCI Divestiture, the Company assumed certain accounts payable and accrued expenses from Global Cooling, totaling to approximately $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
(3) The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.6 million of charges in connection with the RIF, comprised of approximately $1.3 million of stock compensation expense and approximately $0.3 million in cash expenditures, substantially all of which are expected to be related to employee severance costs.
(4) The Company expects to recognize approximately $4.5 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees of the Company that remained with Global Cooling upon the closing of the GCI Divestiture.
In addition, upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company and Global Cooling entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to Global Cooling for up to 90 days following the Closing Date.
Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank

Additionally, on April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment by and among Bank and Borrower. Pursuant to the Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bank consented to the GCI Divestiture and released its security interests in the assets of Global Cooling and the shares of capital stock of Global Cooling arising under the Loan Agreement. In addition, effective as of the closing of the GCI Divestiture, the Amendment amended the Loan Agreement to remove Global Cooling as a party to the Loan Agreement and provide for a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $500,000 payable by Borrower to Bank in the event that the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for any reason. The Amendment additionally contained a financial covenant requiring the Company to limit cash outflows and unsecured indebtedness in connection with the Transaction to $15 million or less. The Amendment also contains customary representations and warranties of Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.

We have in-house expertise in cryobiology and continue to capitalize on opportunities to maximize the value of our product platform for our extensive customer base through both organic growth innovations and acquisitions.

On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Global Cooling”), to GCI Holdings Company, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“GCI Holdings”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and GCI Holdings (the “Global Cooling Divestiture”). The Global Cooling Divestiture was considered a subsequent event of the financial results presented as of March 31, 2024. Global Cooling is therefore presented as a part of our continuing operations as of the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information on the details of the Purchase Agreement, see Note 19: Subsequent events, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a description of our critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and Part I, Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Results of operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnotes thereto.
Revenues
Total revenue for three and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended

Biostorage services1,836 1,639 $197 12 %
Total revenue$31,727 $37,703 $(5,976)(16)%
Product revenue
Product revenue was $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $6.8 million, or 21%, compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily driven by decreases in sales within our ULT freezer and thaw and cell processing product lines compared to the same period in 2023. Decreases in cell processing product revenues are largely driven by an overall decrease in capital expenditure investment from the broader biopharma markets in addition to our customers destocking inventory levels compared to the prior year.
Product revenue from our freezer and thaw products decreased by $4.0 million, or 33%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease can be attributed to a decrease in sales of our ULT freezer line compared to the prior year by our biggest distributor.
Product revenue from our cell processing products decreased by $2.8 million, or by 15%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue from cell processing products is driven by customers reducing safety stock levels and a decrease in biotech funding that began in the later part of 2023.
Product revenue from our biostorage services increased by $0.1 million, or 29%, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the same period in 2023. The increase relates to larger volumes of consumables sold from our evo product line.
31

Service revenue
Service revenue was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $0.6 million, or 14%, compared with the same period in 2023. The increase relates primarily to the expansion of service revenue generated by SciSafe storage services.
Rental revenue
Rental revenue was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $0.2 million, or 12%, compared with the same period in 2023. The increase is associated with revenue from new customers.
Costs and operating expenses
Total costs and operating expenses for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were composed of the following:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
(In thousands, except percentages)20242023$ Change% Change

Change in fair value of contingent consideration— 720 $(720)NM
Total operating expenses$41,855 $51,308 $(9,453)(18)%
Cost of product, rental, and service revenue
Cost of revenue decreased $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, or 19%, compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to decreases in sales across multiple product lines compared to the prior year.
Cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization related to acquired technology was 62% as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 65% as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization related to acquired technology for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is a result of a favorable product mix in our media product line and a greater concentration of higher margin revenue as a percentage of total revenue, in addition to decreases in personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expense consists primarily of personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation, professional fees, such as accounting and consulting fees, and corporate insurance.
G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $1.9 million, or 13%, compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease reflects a decrease in headcount compared to the prior year, driving decreases in personnel expenses from stock-based compensation.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expense (“S&M”) consists primarily of personnel-related costs, stock based compensation, consulting, advertising, and travel expense.
32

S&M expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $1.4 million, or 22%, compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in headcount compared to the prior year, driving decreases in personnel expenses from stock-based compensation.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, consulting, research supplies, and milestone expenses related to third party research agreements.
R&D expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $0.6 million, or 15%, compared with the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in headcount compared to the prior year, driving decreases in personnel expenses from stock-based compensation, offset by research milestone payments in relation to our equity investment in PanTHERA.
Intangible asset amortization expense
Intangible asset amortization expense consists of charges related to the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Astero, SAVSU, CBS, SciSafe, Global Cooling, and Sexton in which we acquired definite-lived intangible assets.
Change in fair value of contingent consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration consists of changes in estimated fair value of our potential earnouts related to our SciSafe acquisition. The benefit recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 relates primarily to changes in our estimated probability of achieving earnout targets set forth within the purchase agreements.
Other income (expense)
Total other income and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were composed of the following:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
(In thousands, except percentages)20242023$ Change% Change
Interest expense, net$(207)$(411)$204 50 %
Other income245 394 $(149)NM
Total other income (expense), net$38 $(17)$55 324 %
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related primarily to the Term Loan (as defined in Note 13: Long-term debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) obtained in September 2022, financed insurance premiums, and the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes (as defined in Note 13: Long-term debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). We also earn interest on cash held in our money market account. Decreases in interest expense, net during the three months ended March 31, 2024 can be attributed to the increases in interest income generated by our cash management strategy while interest expenses remained consistent compared to the same period in 2023.
Liquidity and capital resources
On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $46.1 million and $52.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively.
On April 17, 2024, the Company consummated the Global Cooling Divestiture. The Company provided $4.9 million in cash funding to effectuate the transaction and estimates it will pay $2.4 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties. In addition, the Company expects to recognize $10.7 million in expenses in connection with the Global Cooling Divestiture, of which $5.2 million will be paid from cash from operations in the second quarter, for meeting certain post-closing requirements, costs to sell Global Cooling, the assumption of certain liabilities and debt, and severance expenses
33

related to the RIF implemented on the business of Global Cooling, which reduced the Company’s workforce by 47 employees. These expenses are expected to be recognized during the second quarter of 2024. For additional information on the details of the Transaction and its related costs, see Item I, Note 19: Subsequent events to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the Company may choose to raise additional capital through a debt or equity financing for strategic purposes. Additional capital, if required, may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Financing activities(952)$(562)$(390)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents$(5,648)$(348)$(5,300)
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used by operating activities was $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a decline in revenue in addition to the timing of collection and disbursement of working capital related items in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in (provided by) investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities totaled $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $2.9 million provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily driven by a decrease of $8.9 million in maturities of our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities compared to the prior year. This was offset by a decrease of $3.5 million in property and equipment and assets held for rent purchases and a decrease of $1.8 million in investments made in available-for-sale marketable securities.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used by financing activities totaled $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.6 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cash used by financing activities was primarily the result of increases in payments on the Company's equipment loans and financed insurance premiums compared to the prior year.
Contractual obligations
Our material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations which we previously disclosed within the financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report. Other than the contractual obligation listed below, there have been no significant changes to these obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable
34

pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of March 31, 2024, our total short-term obligations were $10.0 million.
Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt. Our long-term debt primarily bears interest at a fixed rate, with a variable component subject to an interest rate ceiling. Fluctuations in interest rates therefore do not materially impact our consolidated financial statements from long-term debt. For additional information, see Note 13, Long-term debt to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Foreign currency exchange risk
For a discussion of market risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes or developments that would materially alter the market risk assessment of our exposures to foreign currency exchange rates performed as of December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were not effective, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As previously reported, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 with regard to (i) inappropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the control environment, risk assessment procedures, and monitoring activities to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements attributed to an insufficient number of qualified resources and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of controls, ineffective identification and assessment or risks impacting internal control over financial reporting, and ineffective monitoring controls; (ii) information system logical access within certain key financial systems; (iii) ineffective accounting procedures and related controls over certain financial statement areas; (iv) inadequate risk assessment, accounting policies, procedures and related controls performed over the procure to pay and revenue recognition processes in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting requirements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Control
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
35

Remediation
We are continuing to implement remediation plans outlined in our Part II, Item 9A of Annual Report. We also may implement additional changes to our internal control over financial reporting as may be appropriate in the course of remediating the material weaknesses. Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board, will continue to take steps necessary to remedy the material weaknesses to reinforce the overall design and capability of our control environment.
36

PART II: Other information
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no material changes to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Business
BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“BioLife”, “us”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of a portfolio of bioproduction tools and services including proprietary biopreservation media, automated thawing devices, cloud-connected shipping containers, ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers, and biological and pharmaceutical materials storage. Our CryoStor® freeze media and HypoThermosol® hypothermic storage media are optimized to preserve cells in the regenerative medicine market. These novel biopreservation media products are serum-free and protein-free, fully defined, and are formulated to reduce preservation-induced cell damage and death. Our Sexton cell processing product line includes human platelet lysates (“hPL”) for cell expansion, reducing risk and improving downstream performance over fetal bovine serum, human serum, and other chemically defined media, CellSeal® cryogenic vials that are purpose-built rigid containers used in cell and gene therapy (“CGT”) that can be filled manually or with high throughput systems, and automated cell processing machines that bring multiple processes traditionally performed by manual techniques under a higher level of control to protect therapies from loss or contamination. Our ThawSTAR® product line is composed of a family of automated thawing devices for frozen cell and gene therapies packaged in cryovials and cryobags. These products help administer temperature-sensitive biologic therapies to patients by standardizing the thawing process and reducing the risks of contamination and overheating, which are inherent with the use of traditional water baths. Our cryogenic freezer technology provides for controlled rate freezing and cryogenic storage of biologic materials. Our ultra-low temperature mechanical freezers allow biological materials and vaccines to be stored at temperatures which range from negative 20℃ to negative 86℃. Our evo® shipping containers provide cloud-connected passive storage and transport containers for temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceuticals. Our biological and pharmaceutical materials storage services provide facilities that allow for real-time tracking of biologic materials and vaccines that can be stored at a wide range of temperatures.
On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Global Cooling”), to GCI Holdings Company, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“GCI Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and GCI Holdings (the “Global Cooling Divestiture”). The Global Cooling Divestiture was considered a subsequent event to the financial results presented as of March 31, 2024. Global Cooling is therefore presented as a part of our continuing operations as of the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information on the Global Cooling Divestiture, see Note 19: Subsequent events.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s net realizable value of inventory, sales tax liabilities, valuation of market-based stock awards, valuations, fair value of marketable debt securities, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration from business combinations, and provision for income taxes.
The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Basis of presentation

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are unaudited, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for a
full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in accordance with U.S. GAAP, however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAVSU Technologies, Inc. (“SAVSU”), Arctic Solutions, Inc. doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems (“CBS”), SciSafe Holdings, Inc. (“SciSafe”), BioLife Solutions B.V, Global Cooling, Inc. doing business as Stirling Ultracold (“Global Cooling” or “GCI”), and Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Sexton”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
Foreign currency translation
The Company translates items presented on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows into U.S. dollars. For the Company’s subsidiaries that operate in a local currency functional environment, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates at the balance sheet date; revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity.
Segment reporting
The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as one reportable segment and one reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report.
Liquidity and capital resources

On March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $46.1 million and $52.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively. Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”).
Risks and uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressure, the overall effects of economic uncertainty on customers' purchasing patterns, high interest rates, and other
factors. It is not possible to accurately predict the future impact of such events and circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
For additional information, see caption “Risk Factors” identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
Concentrations of credit risk and business risk

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company updated its methodology for determining the country of origin for its sales. Sales are now recorded by shipping country rather than billing country. The Company updated the methodology retrospectively, adjusting the prior year presentation for all regions presented.
(2) The line item presented above previously bifurcated sales between the United States and Canada. Due to the updated methodology for determining the country of origin for sales, it was noted that Canada no longer was a material location to separately disclose. Canada sales have been included within the "Other" line item in the table above and United States sales have been retained as a single line item to more accurately reflect origin of sales for material regions.
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, one supplier accounted for 13% of purchases. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, one supplier accounted for 15% of purchases.
As of March 31, 2024, one supplier accounted for 11% of our accounts payable. As of December 31, 2023, one supplier accounted for 12% of our accounts payable.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures of public companies. The final rules require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks and their impact; activities to mitigate or adapt to material climate-related risks; governance and oversight of climate-related risks; and material Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions with an accompanying assurance report required following an initial transition period, at a limited assurance level, and then following an additional transition period, at a reasonable assurance level. In addition, the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates are required to be disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements in certain circumstances.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the implementation of the final rules pending the completion of judicial review of the consolidated challenges to the final rules by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The final rules, as originally issued, would be effective for the Company in various fiscal years, starting with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. Disclosures pursuant to the final rules, as originally issued, would be required prospectively, with information for prior periods required only to the extent it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rules on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Correction of immaterial errors Correction of immaterial errors
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we determined that an error existed in our previously issued consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we identified we had not properly accelerated stock compensation expense related to unvested shares of market-based awards of certain employees upon their termination during the fourth quarter of 2023. The error was evaluated under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 1M, "Materiality," and SEC SAB Topic 1N, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements" to determine the materiality of prior period misstatements to the Company’s financial statements. We evaluated the error and concluded that it was not material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements. Although the error was not material to any period, we corrected the accompanying historical consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 to reflect the additional stock compensation expense incurred within each period for comparative purposes.
The following table represents the adjustments to our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 in accordance with ASC 250. The adjustments to our Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity was limited to the adjustments outlined below.

Fair value measurement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair value measurement Fair value measurement
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”), the Company measures its financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values of certain of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying value of our marketable debt securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale, are classified within either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. The carrying values of our long-term debt, which is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, approximates fair value as our borrowings with lenders are at interest rates that approximate market rates for comparable loans. The fair values of investments and contingent consideration classified as Level 3 were derived from management assumptions. The Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis when applying acquisition accounting.
ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value fair hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The fair value of the SciSafe contingent consideration liability was valued based on unobservable inputs using a Monte Carlo simulation. These inputs included the estimated amount and timing of projected future revenue, a discount rate of 4.5%, a risk-free rate of approximately 0.2%, asset volatility of 60%, and revenue volatility of 15%. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement of the liability. Generally, changes used in the assumptions for projected future revenue and revenue volatility would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value measurement. Conversely, changes in the discount rate would be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the related fair value measurement. However, due to the contingent consideration having a maximum payout amount, changes in these assumptions would not affect the fair value of the contingent consideration if they increase (decrease) beyond certain amounts. At the acquisition date, the contingent consideration was determined to have a fair value of $3.7 million. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the SciSafe contingent consideration liability was re-measured to fair value with changes recorded in the Change in fair value of contingent consideration in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the most recent re-measurement of the contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined it appropriate to write-off the remaining balance of the SciSafe contingent consideration liability. The target revenue required for earnout was not met during the year ended December 31, 2023 and had been determined to not be probable to achieve in future years. The change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.7 million associated with the contingent consideration liability was included within the Change in fair value of contingent consideration in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
There were no remeasurements to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2024 of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

The Company has various operating lease agreements for office space, warehouses, manufacturing, and production locations as well as vehicles and other equipment. Our real estate leases had original lease terms of three to eleven years and have remaining lease terms of one to eight years. We exclude options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised from our lease terms, ranging from one to five years. Our lease payments consist primarily of fixed rental payments for the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease terms, with all other lease payments consisting of variable lease costs. For certain leases, we receive incentives from our landlords, such as rent abatements, which effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for these leases. Vehicle and other equipment operating leases had original lease terms of four to five years and have remaining terms between one and five years.
Our financing leases relate to research equipment, machinery, and other equipment.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies
Employment agreements
We have employment agreements with certain key employees. None of these employment agreements is for a definitive period, but rather each will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with its terms. The agreements provide for a base annual salary, payable in monthly (or shorter) installments. Under certain conditions and for certain of these officers, we may be required to pay additional amounts upon terminating the employee or upon the employee resigning for good reason.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently material to the Company’s business. The Company’s industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding intellectual property. As a result, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings from time to time. The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Management is not aware of any significant pending or threatened litigation that is anticipated to result in unfavorable judgments against the Company.
Indemnification
As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify its officers and directors for certain errors and occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its directors. The Company believes the fair value of the
indemnification rights and agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of March 31, 2024, our total short-term obligations were $10.0 million.
Non-income related taxes
Companies are required to collect and remit sales tax from certain customers if the company is determined to have nexus in a particular state. Upon the determination of nexus, which varies by state, companies are additionally required to maintain detailed record of specific product and customer information within each jurisdiction in which it has established nexus to appropriately determine their sales tax liability, requiring technical knowledge of each jurisdiction’s tax case law. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a sales tax liability related to the periods of 2019 through 2023 was probable and determined an estimated liability. The estimated liability was approximately $5.0 million and $5.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Due to the variety of jurisdictions in which this estimated liability relates to and our ongoing assessment of sales taxes owed, we cannot predict when final liabilities will be satisfied. We will reevaluate the estimated liability and timing of satisfaction each reporting period.

Global Cooling Term Notes
In May 2021, the Company assumed three term notes in the acquisition of Global Cooling. At the time of acquisition, these notes carried aggregate outstanding principal balances of $4.4 million. These term notes bore interest at a floating rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 6.5%. The term notes included financial covenants tied to the performance of Global Cooling.
In October 2021, the Company entered into amended and restated term notes for all three term notes (the “Global Cooling Term Notes”) with two lenders. As amended, the principal amount borrowed pursuant to the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes” consisted of an aggregate $4.6 million, with one lender providing two term notes in the principal amount of $1.4 million per note and a separate lender providing one term note in the principal amount of $1.8 million. The maturity dates for the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes are July 17, 2024, September 7, 2024, and December 18, 2027, respectively. All three Global Cooling Amended Term Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.0%, were interest-only with one balloon principal payment at maturity, and could be pre-paid without penalty at any time. The Company fully extinguished the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes with maturity dates of September 7, 2024 and July 17, 2024 on September 20, 2022 and July 17, 2023, respectively. All financial covenants included in the original term notes previously in effect were removed upon amendment and restatement pursuant to the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes.
In connection with the Global Cooling Divestiture as of April 17, 2024, the Company fully extinguished the remaining balance of the Global Cooling Amended Term Notes, totaling $2.6 million. For additional information regarding the Global Cooling Divestiture and associated costs incurred by the Company, see Note 19: Subsequent events.
Term Loan
On September 20, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for a term loan in an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $60 million in the increments and upon the dates and milestones described below (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on June 1, 2026. The Loan Agreement permitted the Company to borrow up to $30 million upon the initial closing of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Closing”), and provided options to borrow (i) up to $10 million between the Term Loan Closing and June 30, 2023, (ii) up to $10 million upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones by the Company, and (iii) an additional $10 million at the discretion of the lender. The Company borrowed $20 million at the Term Loan Closing and accounts for the Term Loan at cost. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not drawn additional funding nor had it met the revenue milestones outlined within the Loan Agreement. The Company had until December 31, 2023 to draw an additional $10 million, subject to approval from the lender, and therefore has no
additional opportunities under the Loan Agreement. Payments on the borrowing are interest-only through June 2024, with additional criteria allowing for interest-only payments to continue through June 2025. Tranches borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.5%. However, the interest rate is subject to a ceiling that restricts the interest rate for each tranche from exceeding 1.0% above the overall rate applicable to each tranche at their respective funding dates and has a balloon payment due at the earliest of term loan maturity, repayment of the Term Loan in full, or termination of the Loan Agreement at $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2024, the implied interest rate of the Term Loan is 6.6% and the implied value of the Term Loan is $20.4 million. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement.
On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to the Term Loan (the “Amendment”) by and among Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”) and the Company and its subsidiaries. For additional information on the Amendment, see Note 19: Subsequent events.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Revenue
To determine revenue recognition for contractual arrangements that we determine are within the scope of FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify each contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the relevant performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price, taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our deferred revenue balance totaled $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.
The Company primarily recognizes product revenues, service revenues, and rental revenues. Product revenues are generated from the sale of cell processing tools, freezers, thawing devices, and cold chain products. We recognize product revenue, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, at a point in time when we transfer control of our products to our customers, which is upon shipment for substantially all transactions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as part of cost of product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Service revenue is generated from the storage of biological and pharmaceutical materials. We recognize service revenue over time as services are performed or ratably over the contract term. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates 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. When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in ASC Topic 606, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company also generates revenue from the leasing of our property, plant, and equipment, operating right-of-use assets, and evo cold chain systems within its biostorage services product line to customers pursuant to service contracts or rental arrangements entered into with the customer. Revenue from these arrangements is not within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606 as it is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. All customers leasing shippers currently do so under annual rental arrangements. We account for these rental transactions as operating leases and record rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental term.
The Company enters into various customer service agreements (collectively, “Service Contracts”) with customers to provide biological and pharmaceutical storage services. In certain of these Service Contracts, the property, plant, and equipment or operating right-of-use assets used to store the customer product are used only for the benefit of one customer. This is primarily driven by the customer’s desire to ensure that sufficient storage capacity is available in a specific geographic location for a set period of time. These agreements may include extension and termination clauses. These Service Contracts do not allow for customers to purchase the underlying assets.
The Company has assessed its Service Contracts and concluded that certain of the contracts for the storage of customer products met the criteria to be considered a leasing arrangement (“Embedded Leases”), with the Company as the lessor. The specific Service Contracts that met the criteria were those that provided a single customer with the ability to substantially direct the use of the Company’s property, plant, and equipment or operating right-of-use assets.
Applying the practical expedient from ASC Topic 842, consistent with the previous guidance, the Company will continue to recognize operating right-of-use asset embedded lessor arrangements on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in operating right-of-use assets.
None of the Embedded Leases identified by the Company qualify as a sales-type or direct finance lease. None of the operating leases for which the Company is the lessor include options for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset at the end of the lease term or residual value guarantees, nor are any such operating leases with related parties.
Embedded Leases may contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient from ASC Topic 842 to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Non-lease components of the Company’s rental arrangements include reimbursements of lessor costs.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $3.6 million of aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable service-based vesting stock options. Intrinsic value is the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the reporting period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2024. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. We did not recognize stock compensation expense related to service-based options during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no service-based vesting options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The weighted average remaining contractual life of service-based vesting stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2024 is 1.8 years.

As of March 31, 2024, there was $35.4 million in unrecognized compensation costs related to service-based vesting awards. We expect to recognize those costs over 2.6 years.
Performance-based restricted stock
On March 8, 2024, the Company granted 109,512 shares of performance-based stock to an executive in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain performance conditions based on several Company metrics related to future performance. The grant date fair value of this award was $17.36 per share. The fair value of this award is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ending on December 31, 2025.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $0.2 million related to performance-based restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, there was $1.7 million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to performance-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. We expect to recognize those costs over 1.8 years. Non-cash compensation costs are expensed over the period for which performance was measured.

The aggregate fair value of the performance-based awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.9 million. No performance-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

No performance-based restricted stock awards were granted or vested during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

On February 24, 2022, the Company granted 240,428 shares of market-based stock to its executives in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain a market condition based on total shareholder return ("TSR"). The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. On March 8, 2024, the Company’s Compensation Committee determined the TSR attainment was 125% of the targeted shares and 300,529 shares were granted and immediately vested to the executives of the Company based on our TSR during the period beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023 as compared to the TSR of 20 of our peers. The fair value of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: a historical volatility of 63%, 0% dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate of 1.5%. The historical volatility was based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the Measurement Date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of the award. The fair value of this award of $6.7 million is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date of December 31, 2023.
On January 3, 2023, the Company granted 268,738 shares of market-based stock to its executives in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain a market condition based on TSR. The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. The market-based restricted stock awards will vest as to between 0% and 200% of the number of restricted shares granted to each recipient based on our TSR during the period beginning on January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 as compared to the TSR of 20 of our peers. The fair value of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: a historical volatility of 78%, 0% dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate of 4.4%. The historical volatility was based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the Measurement Date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of the award. The fair value of this
award of $6.8 million is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date of December 31, 2024, excluding $1.6 million of expense recognized in 2023 to reflect accelerations in the vesting period of certain awards.
On March 8, 2024, the Company granted 239,464 shares of market-based stock to its executives in the form of restricted stock. The shares granted contain a market condition based on TSR. The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. The market-based restricted stock awards will vest as to between 0% and 200% of the number of restricted shares granted to each recipient based on our TSR during the period beginning on January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025 as compared to the TSR of 20 of our peers. The fair value of this award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions: a historical volatility of 80%, 0% dividend yield and a risk-free interest rate of 4.6%. The historical volatility was based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the Measurement Date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of the award. The fair value of this award of $6.3 million is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date of December 31, 2025.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $1.1 million and $1.3 million related to market-based restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was $8.6 million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to market-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. We expect to recognize those costs over 1.5 years.
The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards granted was $6.3 million and $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards that vested was $5.1 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income taxes Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes. Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that occur in the relevant period. The income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted in an effective income tax rate of negative 1.2%. Included in the $0.1 million was a discrete tax expense of $0.6 million related to a stock compensation shortfall, which was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
The Company’s U.S. projected effective income tax rate without discrete items was negative 1.8%, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance on US deferred tax assets and non-deductible executive compensation offset by state tax benefits and research tax credits.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company’s management evaluates both positive and negative evidence when concluding whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable. After reviewing the evidence available, the Company’s management believes there is uncertainty regarding the future realizability of the U.S. net operating loss carryforward and is projecting a full valuation allowance of $54.7 million by year end. If operating results improve and projections indicate future utilization of the tax attributes, all or a portion of the valuation allowance would be released, resulting in a corresponding non-cash income tax benefit.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net loss per common share Net loss per common share
The Company considers its unvested restricted shares, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, as participating securities, and includes such participating securities in its computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, whichever is more dilutive. In periods when we have a net loss, common stock equivalents are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.
The following table presents computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Stock Purchase Agreement for Global Cooling Divestiture
The Company has evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2024 through the date of this filing to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure.
On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and GCI Holdings, which is wholly owned by an consulting contractor of Global Cooling, for the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling to GCI Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. In addition, at the closing of the GCI Divestiture, Global Cooling was required to have $7.0 million in cash on its balance sheet, of which, $4.9 million in cash funded by the Company, and the Company was required to repay approximately $2.6 million of outstanding indebtedness of Global Cooling, and assume certain other liabilities of Global Cooling. Following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the GCI Divestiture was consummated on April 17, 2024. The Company expects to recognize a loss on the GCI Divestiture, calculated as follows:

(1) Represents the costs incurred in connection with the GCI Divestiture, including fees to be paid to the broker, attorneys, and other external parties.
(2) The Company is utilizing the carrying basis of Global Cooling as of December 31, 2023 as an estimate for its carrying basis as of the date of divestiture. The carrying basis to calculate the loss on disposal will utilize the carrying basis as of the date of divestiture on April 17, 2024, and may differ from the estimate noted here upon disclosure in the second quarter of 2024.
The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company implemented a reduction in force (the “RIF”) related to the business of Global Cooling, which reduced the Company’s workforce by 47 employees (representing approximately 11% of its full-time employees). The Company’s Board of Directors approved the RIF on March 29, 2024, and all affected employees were informed by April 18, 2024, following the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.6 million of charges in connection with the RIF, comprised of approximately $1.3 million of stock compensation expense and approximately $0.3 million in cash expenditures, substantially all of which are expected to be related to employee severance costs. The Company expects to recognize most of these expenditures in the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the RIF. In addition, the Company expects to recognize approximately $4.5 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees of the Company that remained with Global Cooling upon the closing of the GCI Divestiture.
The following table summarizes the additional costs incurred by the Company in connection with closing the GCI Divestiture and expected to be recorded during the second quarter of 2024:

(2) As a condition to close the GCI Divestiture, the Company assumed certain accounts payable and accrued expenses from Global Cooling, totaling to approximately $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
(3) The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.6 million of charges in connection with the RIF, comprised of approximately $1.3 million of stock compensation expense and approximately $0.3 million in cash expenditures, substantially all of which are expected to be related to employee severance costs.
(4) The Company expects to recognize approximately $4.5 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees of the Company that remained with Global Cooling upon the closing of the GCI Divestiture.
In addition, upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company and Global Cooling entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to Global Cooling for up to 90 days following the Closing Date.
Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank

Additionally, on April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment by and among Bank and Borrower. Pursuant to the Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bank consented to the GCI Divestiture and released its security interests in the assets of Global Cooling and the shares of capital stock of Global Cooling arising under the Loan Agreement. In addition, effective as of the closing of the GCI Divestiture, the Amendment amended the Loan Agreement to remove Global Cooling as a party to the Loan Agreement and provide for a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $500,000 payable by Borrower to Bank in the event that the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for any reason. The Amendment additionally contained a financial covenant requiring the Company to limit cash outflows and unsecured indebtedness in connection with the Transaction to $15 million or less. The Amendment also contains customary representations and warranties of Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.

Use of estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s net realizable value of inventory, sales tax liabilities, valuation of market-based stock awards, valuations, fair value of marketable debt securities, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration from business combinations, and provision for income taxes.
The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Basis of presentation
Basis of presentation

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are unaudited, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for a
full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 in accordance with U.S. GAAP, however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAVSU Technologies, Inc. (“SAVSU”), Arctic Solutions, Inc. doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems (“CBS”), SciSafe Holdings, Inc. (“SciSafe”), BioLife Solutions B.V, Global Cooling, Inc. doing business as Stirling Ultracold (“Global Cooling” or “GCI”), and Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Sexton”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

The Company translates items presented on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows into U.S. dollars. For the Company’s subsidiaries that operate in a local currency functional environment, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates at the balance sheet date; revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity.

Recent accounting pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures of public companies. The final rules require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks and their impact; activities to mitigate or adapt to material climate-related risks; governance and oversight of climate-related risks; and material Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions with an accompanying assurance report required following an initial transition period, at a limited assurance level, and then following an additional transition period, at a reasonable assurance level. In addition, the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates are required to be disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements in certain circumstances.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the implementation of the final rules pending the completion of judicial review of the consolidated challenges to the final rules by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The final rules, as originally issued, would be effective for the Company in various fiscal years, starting with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. Disclosures pursuant to the final rules, as originally issued, would be required prospectively, with information for prior periods required only to the extent it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rules on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
