We anticipate that there may be additional impact to us in the future from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Developments or changes in national laws or policies to protect or promote domestic interests and/or address foreign competition can have an adverse effect on our business and financial statements.
Developments or changes in national laws or policies to protect or promote domestic interests and/or address foreign competition, including laws and policies in areas such as trade, manufacturing, government purchasing, healthcare, intellectual property, regulatory enforcement and investment/development, can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
The U.S. has announced and/or implemented new tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, which has prompted retaliatory tariffs, or changes to existing tariffs, by a number of countries.
Beginning in early April 2025, the U.S. implemented and/or announced tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, and which has prompted a number of countries to impose retaliatory tariffs and/or changes to existing tariffs.
Many of these tariffs and announcements underwent continued revision, with certain tariff levels increasing while others decreased.
Additionally, the U.S. and a number of other countries have implemented a number of product- and industry- specific exclusions, though these exclusions have been subject to revision and/or announced revision as well.
As of the date of this report, a number of the recently-imposed tariffs remain in effect, including significant tariffs between the U.S. and China.
Collectively, these tariffs have increased and will continue to increase the cost to us of supplies and components we import, as well as our cost to serve certain markets, which in turn will require us to bear significant increased costs to do business, and/or implement surcharges, and/or increase the price of certain of our products.
As a result of any surcharge or price increase, there may be an adverse impact on the demand for our products, as well as an adverse impact as to our ability to serve the market in certain countries.
The increased cost of importing raw materials and components from certain countries may disrupt our supply chains, with related impacts to our operations.
In addition, whenever we are unable to fully recover higher costs, or whenever there is a time delay between the increase in costs and our ability to recover these costs, our margins and profitability can decline.
The U.S. and/or other countries may implement additional tariffs and/or other responsive or retaliatory measures, and which would exacerbate the risks and adverse effects noted above.
Though the risks identified above in certain cases have already adversely impacted parts of our business, the full impact of these tariffs and other actions on the Company and on our business partners remains highly uncertain and subject to rapid change.
However, the process and timeline for obtaining coverage decisions is uncertain and difficult to predict.
to the United States tax code.
Interpretations, assumptions and guidance regarding the Tax Act that have been issued subsequently have had a material impact on our effective tax rate, and we anticipate that there may be additional changes to the U.S. tax code under a new Administration.
For example, the previous U.S. administration increased tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States and trade tensions between the United States and China escalated, with each country imposing significant additional tariffs on a wide range of goods imported from the other country.
That trade tension has not diminished under the current U.S. administration.
The U.S. and China could impose other types of restrictions such as limitations on government procurement or technology export restrictions, which could affect our access to markets.

The outflow of cash in fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2023 was driven by the purchase of the exchange traded investment grade bond funds in fiscal year 2022, which had a cost basis of $25.0 million, that did not reoccur in the comparative periods.
There were no payments during fiscal 2024 nor fiscal 2023 for contingent consideration.
During fiscal 2022, the Company made $4.0 million in cash payments towards the Quad contingent consideration liability.
Of the $4.0 million in total

Item 1. BUSINESS
55 rewritten, 7 added, 9 removed, 232 unchanged
[removed: With our] [added: Our] broad product portfolio and application [removed: expertise, we sell integral components of] [added: expertise enables] scientific investigations into biological processes and molecular diagnostics, revealing the nature, diagnosis, etiology and progression of specific diseases.
We manage the business in two operating segments – our Protein Sciences segment and our Diagnostics and [removed: Genomics] [added: Spatial Biology] segment.
Our Diagnostics and [removed: Genomics] [added: Spatial Biology] segment develops and manufactures diagnostic products, including controls, calibrators, and diagnostic assays for the regulated diagnostics market, exosome-based molecular diagnostic assays, advanced tissue-based in-situ hybridization assays [added: and instrumentation] for spatial genomic and tissue biopsy analysis, and genetic and oncology kits for research and clinical applications.
Today, our product lines include hundreds of thousands of diverse products, most of which we manufacture ourselves in multiple locations in North America, as well as [removed: a location each] [added: locations] in the [removed: U.K.] [added: U.K., Canada, Switzerland] and China.
[removed: Since 2013, we] [added: We] have [removed: been implementing] [added: implemented] a disciplined strategy to accelerate growth in part by acquiring businesses and product portfolios that leveraged and diversified our existing product lines, filled portfolio gaps with differentiated high growth businesses, and expanded our geographic scope.
We also completed a 19.9% investment in Wilson Wolf Corporation (“Wilson Wolf”) in fiscal [removed: year] 2023, and will acquire the remaining ownership in Wilson Wolf by the end of calendar year 2027, if not earlier due to its achievement of revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets.
We aim to deeply understand [removed: customers] [added: customers’] wants and needs while simultaneously offering high-quality service at every touchpoint.
The Protein Sciences segment is the larger of our two segments, representing approximately 72% of our net sales in fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
The Reagent Solutions division consists of specialized proteins, such as cytokines and growth factors, antibodies, small molecules, tissue culture sera and cell selection technologies traditionally used by researchers to further their life science experimental activities and by companies developing next generation diagnostics and therapeutics, including [removed: companies developing] cell- and gene-based therapeutics.
These include a significant investment in state-of-the art facilities for production of both proteins and small molecules in large quantities manufactured in accordance with cGMP, as well as a 19.9% investment [removed: in –] [added: in,] and eventual acquisition of [removed: –] [added: ,] Wilson Wolf, [removed: which is] a leading provider of cell culture devices for cell-based therapies.
This segment also sells to diagnostic/companion diagnostic and therapeutic customers, [removed: especially customers] [added: including those] engaged in the development of cell- and gene-based therapies.
[removed: We also sell through third] party distributors in China, Japan, certain eastern European countries and the rest of the world.
Our sales are widely distributed, and no single end-user customer accounted for more than 10% of the Protein Sciences segment’s net sales during fiscal [added: 2025,] 2024, [removed: 2023,] or [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
DIAGNOSTICS AND [removed: GENOMICS] [added: SPATIAL BIOLOGY] SEGMENT
The Diagnostics and [removed: Genomics] [added: Spatial Biology] segment, representing approximately 28% of our net revenues in fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] includes three divisions and is focused primarily on the diagnostic and research markets and includes spatial biology, liquid biopsy, molecular diagnostics kits and products, and diagnostics reagents.
Diagnostics and [removed: Genomics] [added: Spatial Biology] Segment Products
In the first quarter of fiscal [removed: year] 2024, we closed on the acquisition of Lunaphore, a leading developer of fully automated spatial biology solutions using precision microfluidic technology capable of revealing hyperplex proteomic and transcriptomic biomarkers in tumors and other tissues at single-cell and subcellular resolution.
Diagnostics and [removed: Genomics] [added: Spatial Biology] Segment Customers and Distribution Methods
In addition to being useful research tools, our DNA and RNA _in situ_ hybridization (ISH) assays have diagnostics [removed: applications as well,] [added: applications,] and several are cleared or currently under review by the FDA in partnership with diagnostics instrument manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies.
[removed: branded] [added: The Asuragen-branded] products are sold primarily to laboratories for use in lab-developed tests or in kit form as regulated diagnostic tests.
No customer accounted for 10% or more of the reporting segment’s consolidated net sales during fiscal [removed: years 2024, 2023] [added: 2025, 2024] or [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
As a result, we can experience material and sometimes unpredictable fluctuations in our revenue from the Diagnostics and [removed: Genomics] [added: Spatial Biology] segment.
As a party to these contracts, Bio-Techne does have to comply with [added: certain regulations that apply to companies doing business with governments.]
In fiscal [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we introduced over [removed: 800] [added: 400] new products.
[removed: While this is an area of focus for the Company, there is no] assurance that any of the products in the research and development phases can be successfully completed or, if completed, can be successfully introduced into the marketplace.
Through its subsidiaries, Bio-Techne employed approximately 3,100 full-time and part-time employees as of June 30, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] of whom approximately 2,300 were employed in the United States and approximately 800 outside the United States.
We strive to create an employee experience that allows each to achieve their [removed: life’s best work.][added: full potential.]
This is demonstrated by [removed: leading with] our EPIC values of Empowerment, Passion, Innovation and Collaboration.
Our [removed: talent management] [added: people] strategy spans multiple key dimensions, including the following:
Bio-Techne’s Board of Directors reviews management succession planning at least annually, and its Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s [removed: talent management] [added: people] strategy periodically in connection with significant initiatives and acquisitions, as well as part of its oversight of our executive and equity compensation programs.
At the management level, our Chief Human Resources Officer, who reports directly to our President and CEO, is responsible for the development and execution of the Company’s [removed: talent management] [added: people] strategy.
In [removed: 2024, 74%] [added: 2025, two-thirds] of our global workforce participated, and [removed: 77%] [added: 75%] of those who responded provided favorable feedback.
While these responses were [removed: quite] positive, our management used the responses to inform and shape our future employee-focused initiatives.
These initiatives in the past have resulted in changes in programs and policies, including expansion of our management and leadership development programs, [removed: addition] [added: expansion] of a parental leave program, [added: introduction of flexible working, addition of an internal communications function, leadership engagement focused on transparency and stronger feedback follow-up, and] expansion of [added: the breadth and resources of] our [removed: incentive programs to include annual cash][added: Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).]
In fiscal [removed: year 2024,] [added: 2025,] we empowered work/life integration through hybrid work models wherever feasible, continued to cultivate belonging and [removed: inclusion through deepened investment of resources to our ERGs,] [added: inclusion,] and paved the path for career growth through the personalized development and [removed: implementation of] individual action plans.
We believe a [removed: diverse workforce and] culture of belonging is central to drive innovation, fuel growth and help ensure our technologies and products effectively serve a global customer base.
As of June 30, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we had [removed: 10] [added: 11] ERGs operating globally.
As of June 30, [removed: 2024, 49%] [added: 2025, 48%] of our total employee population was female, and 43% of our managerial employees were female.
39% of our total employee population identified as nonwhite and [removed: 26%] [added: 28%] of our managerial employees identified as nonwhite.
Bio-Techne believes that sustaining its profitable growth will require a continued focus on recruiting and retaining [removed: top, diverse] [added: top] talent.
Recent examples include the investment in Spear Bio at the beginning of fiscal 2025 and the acquisition of Lunaphore SA (“Lunaphore”) at the beginning of fiscal 2024.

Investment in our securities involves risk and uncertainty and you should carefully consider all information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K prior to making an investment decision regarding our securities.
Below is a summary of material risks and uncertainties we face, which are discussed more fully in “Item 1A.
Risk Factors”:
Economic and Industry
| | ● | Conditions in the global economy, the particular markets we serve and the financial markets, whether brought about by material global crises or other factors, may adversely affect our business and financial results. |
| | ● | International political, compliance and business factors, including the military conflict in Ukraine, Israel’s conflict in Gaza, and trade tensions between the U.S. and China, can negatively impact our operations and financial results. |
| | ● | The healthcare and life sciences industries that we serve face constant pressures and changes in an effort to reduce healthcare costs or increase their predictability, all of which may adversely affect our business and financial results. |
Acquisition and Investment Risks
●Our inability to complete acquisitions at our historical rate and at appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.
●Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships, if not properly implemented or integrated, could negatively impact our business and financial results.
●We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill and other amortizable intangible assets or other investments become impaired, which could negatively impact our financial results or stock price.
Strategic and Operational Risks
●Our success will be dependent on recruiting and retaining highly qualified and diverse personnel and creating and maintaining a culture that successfully integrates the employees joining through acquisitions.
●Our growth depends in part on the timely development and commercialization of new and enhanced products and services that meet our customers’ needs.
Our growth can also be negatively impacted if our customers do not grow as anticipated.
●We face intense competition, and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share or need to reduce prices to remain competitive.
●A significant disruption in, or breach of security of, our information technology systems or data, or violation of data privacy laws, could result in damage to our reputation, data integrity, and/or subject us to costs, fines, or lawsuits under data privacy or other laws or contractual requirements.
●If we suffer a loss to our supply chains, distribution systems or information technology systems due to catastrophe or other events, our operations could be seriously harmed.
●The manufacture of many of our products is a complex process, and if we directly or indirectly encounter problems manufacturing products, our business and financial results could suffer.
| | ● | If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions or customer demand, our business and financial results may suffer. In addition, our reliance upon sole or limited sources of supply for certain materials, components and services can cause production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies. |
●The Company relies heavily on internal manufacturing and related operations to produce, package and distribute its products which, if disrupted, could materially impair our business operations.
Our business could be adversely affected by disruptions at our sites.
| | ● | Climate change and related environmental risks, or legal or regulatory measures to address climate change and/or related environmental risks, may negatively affect us. |
●Defects, unanticipated use of or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products, or allegations thereof, can adversely affect our business and financial results.
●Because we rely heavily on third-party package-delivery services, a significant disruption in these services or significant increases in prices may disrupt our ability to ship products, increase our costs and lower our profitability.
Intellectual Property Risks
●We are dependent on maintaining our intellectual property rights.
If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, or if third parties infringe our intellectual property rights, we may suffer competitive injury or expend significant resources enforcing our rights.
●We may be involved in disputes to determine the scope, coverage and validity of others’ proprietary rights, or to defend against third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, any of which could be time-intensive and costly and may adversely impact our business.
Financial and Tax Risks
●We have entered into and drawn on a revolving credit facility, and we may incur additional debt in the future.
The burden of this additional debt could adversely affect us, make us more vulnerable to adverse economic or industry conditions, and prevent us from funding our expansion strategy.
| | ● | Our business and financial results can be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rates, changes in our tax rates, and tax liabilities and assessments (including as a result of changes in tax laws). |
●Dividends on our common stock could be reduced or eliminated in the future.
Legal, Regulatory, Compliance and Reputational Risks
| | ● | Our business is subject to extensive regulation; failure to comply with these regulations could adversely affect our business and financial results. |
●Significant developments or changes in U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, can have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
●Our business and financial results can be impaired by improper conduct of any of our employees, agents, or business partners.
●Certain of our businesses are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. FDA and the USDA and by comparable agencies of other countries, as well as laws regulating fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry and the privacy and security of health information.

_Sufficiency of audit evidence over net sales_
As discussed in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue for sales of consumables and instruments at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer.
The Company recorded $1,219.6 million of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2025.
We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over net sales as a critical audit matter.
Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained required especially subjective auditor judgment because of the dispersion of the Company’s net sales generating activities across locations.
This included determining the Company locations at which procedures were performed.
We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over net sales, including the determination of the Company locations at which those procedures were to be performed.
At each Company location where procedures were performed, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s net sales processes, including the Company’s controls over the accurate recording of sales amounts.
We 1) performed software-assisted data analyses to test the relationships among certain sales transactions and 2) assessed the recorded net sales for a selection of transactions by comparing the amounts recognized for consistency with underlying documentation, including contracts with customers, shipping documentation, customer acceptance, and payments.
We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the nature and extent of such evidence.
