The company explicitly identifies 'Changing conditions and uncertainty in global markets including the impact of tariffs, sanctions, quotas, import restrictions, and other trade actions' as a key risk.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by 35% for the quarter and 18% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, largely driven by the non-recurring arbitration award and restructuring-related charges. While these are one-time or transitional costs, they reflect significant operational adjustments (page 32).

The company faces an escalating risk from 'changing conditions and uncertainty in global markets including the impact of tariffs,' which are increasing the cost of imported supplies and components. This poses a challenge to maintaining cost-effective supply chain performance and could lead to margin erosion if costs cannot be fully recovered (page 40).

The acquisition of Lunaphore Technologies SA in fiscal year 2024 brought 'fully automated spatial biology solutions' and instruments into Bio-Techne's portfolio. Additionally, the $15.0 million investment in Spear Bio in July 2024 further diversifies and strengthens the company's position in advanced life sciences technologies (pages 6, 16).

Capital expenditures for fixed assets decreased to $26.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, from $44.9 million in the prior year.

The company maintains a strong liquidity position with $140.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $670 million available on its $1 billion revolving line-of-credit as of March 31, 2025.
