Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
1.    Nature of operations and presentation of financial statements
We are a global manufacturer and distributor that provides products and services to customers in the biopharmaceutical, healthcare, education & government and advanced technologies & applied materials industries.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to SEC regulations whereby certain information normally included in GAAP financial statements has been condensed or omitted. The financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
We believe that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading in any material respect when read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report. Those audited consolidated financial statements include a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Principles of consolidation
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported throughout the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
Effective January 1, 2024, we changed our operating model and reporting segment structure from three reportable segments to two reportable segments: Laboratory Solutions and Bioscience Production. This structure aligns with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, measures segment operating performance and allocates resources across our operating segments.
Asset impairment - Ritter
The Company’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and certain other assets. For impairment testing purposes, long-lived assets may be grouped with working capital and other types of assets or liabilities if they generate cash flows on a combined basis. We evaluate long-lived assets or asset groups for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential inability to recover their carrying amounts. The test to determine if long-lived assets or asset groups are impaired first compares their carrying values to their estimated undiscounted future
8
cash flows. If the carrying values exceed the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is calculated as the amount that the carrying values exceed their fair values.
In the second quarter of 2023, persistently high customer inventory in the end markets served by Ritter and an overall slowdown in research activity caused Ritter’s revenue to decline compared to prior expectations. Due to these circumstances, we performed an impairment test of the Ritter asset group, which resulted in a fair value that was lower than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $106.4 million on Ritter’s finite-lived intangible assets and $54.4 million on Ritter’s property, plant & equipment in the second quarter of 2023. These charges impacted our Laboratory Solutions reportable segment.
Our impairment test was performed as of June 30, 2023 and utilized our then latest estimates of Ritter’s projected cash flows, including revenues, gross margin, SG&A expenses, capital expenditures to maintain the acquired assets, and investments in debt free net working capital, as well as current market assumptions for the discount rate.
We have not identified any further events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential inability to recover the remaining carrying amounts of the Ritter asset group following the recognition of the impairment charges in the second quarter of 2023.
2.    New accounting standards and climate change related update by SEC
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which amends the existing segment reporting guidance (ASC Topic 280) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.
The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will first apply this standard to its annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2024, which we expect will result in additional disclosures in the Company’s segment financial information footnote, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends the existing income taxes guidance (ASC Topic 740) to require additional disclosures surrounding annual rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other income tax related disclosures.
The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of this standard on our financial statement disclosures.
9
Other
There were no other new accounting standards that we expect to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Adoption of rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures for Investors
On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rules pending completion of judicial review of the petitions challenging the final rules. The order does not amend the compliance dates contemplated by the final rules, which are applicable to the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of these requirements on our financial statement disclosures.

4.    Segment financial information
As described in note 1, effective January 1, 2024, we changed our operating model and reporting segment structure into two reportable business segments: Laboratory Solutions and Bioscience Production. Corporate costs are managed on a standalone basis, certain of which are allocated to our reportable segments.
In connection with this change, our chief operating decision maker changed the measure used to evaluate segment profitability from Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Operating Income. All disclosures relating to segment profitability, including those for comparative periods, have been revised as a result of this change.
The following table presents information by reportable segment:

Goodwill
As described in note 1, we reorganized our segment reporting structure effective January 1, 2024. The segment reporting reorganization also resulted in a change to our reporting units for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing. Our new reporting units are Buy Sell Lab, Proprietary Lab, Services, Manufactured Products, Buy Sell Production, and NuSil. As a result of the reorganization, our goodwill was reassigned to the new reporting units making up our Laboratory Solutions and Bioscience Production reporting segments.
We have reassigned goodwill as of January 1, 2024 to align to our new segment structure by using a relative fair value approach. We tested goodwill for impairment immediately before and after the realignment; no impairment was identified.

9.    Commitments and contingencies
Our business involves commitments and contingencies related to compliance with environmental laws and regulations, the manufacture and sale of products and litigation. The ultimate resolution of contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty, and it is reasonably possible that contingencies could be decided unfavorably against us.
Environmental laws and regulations
Our environmental liabilities are subject to changing governmental policy and regulations, discovery of unknown conditions, judicial proceedings, method and extent of remediation, existence of other potentially responsible parties and future changes in technology. We believe that known and unknown environmental matters, if not resolved favorably, could have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity and profitability. Matters to be disclosed are as follows:
15
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has ordered us to remediate groundwater conditions near our plant in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. At September 30, 2024, our accrued obligation under this order is $2.5 million, which is calculated based on expected cash payments discounted at rates ranging from 3.5% to 4.2% between 2024 and 2045. The undiscounted amount of that obligation is $3.7 million. We are indemnified against any losses incurred in this matter as stipulated through the agreement and guaranty referenced in our Annual Report.
In 2016, we assessed the environmental condition of our chemical manufacturing site in Gliwice, Poland. Our assessment revealed specific types of soil and groundwater contamination throughout the site. We are also monitoring the condition of a closed landfill on that site. These matters are not covered by our indemnification arrangement because they relate to an operation we subsequently acquired. At September 30, 2024, our balance sheet includes a liability of $1.1 million for remediation and monitoring costs. That liability is estimated primarily on discounted expected remediation payments and is not materially different from its undiscounted amount.
Manufacture and sale of products
Our business involves risk of product liability, patent infringement and other claims in the ordinary course of business arising from the products that we produce ourselves or obtain from our suppliers, as well as from the services we provide. Our exposure to such claims may increase to the extent that we expand our manufacturing operations or service offerings.
We maintain insurance policies to protect us against these risks, including product liability insurance. In many cases the suppliers of products we distribute have indemnified us against such claims. Our insurance coverage or indemnification agreements with suppliers may not be adequate in all pending or any future cases brought against us. Furthermore, our ability to recover under any insurance or indemnification arrangements is subject to the financial viability of our insurers, our suppliers and our suppliers’ insurers, as well as legal enforcement under the local laws governing the arrangements.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with customers of our self-manufactured products to protect them from liabilities and losses arising from our negligence, willful misconduct or sale of defective products. To date, we have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions.
Litigation
At September 30, 2024, there was no outstanding litigation that we believe would result in material losses if decided against us, and we do not believe that there are any unasserted matters that are reasonably possible to result in a material loss.

the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The interest income primarily relates to income on our interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps discussed in note 15.

Unused availability$94.5 $971.8 $1,066.3 
Capacity under the receivables facility is calculated as the lower of eligible borrowing base or facility limit of $400.0 million. Eligible borrowing base is determined as total available accounts receivable less ineligible accounts receivable and other adjustments. At September 30, 2024, total available accounts receivable under the receivables facility were $522.4 million.
In June 2023, we amended the revolving credit facility to increase its funding limit up to $975.0 million and extended the term to June 29, 2028. We capitalized $2.3 million of fees in connection with this transaction.
Senior secured credit facilities
On April 2, 2024, we amended the credit agreement to reprice the U.S. Dollar term loan under our senior secured credit facilities. Pursuant to the agreement, the interest rate applicable to the U.S. Dollar term loan reduced from SOFR plus a spread of 2.25% per annum to SOFR plus a spread of 2.00% per annum. The principal amount of U.S. Dollar term loan outstanding immediately prior to the amendment and the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Dollar term loan immediately following the amendment each totaled $772.4 million. The final stated maturity of the U.S. Dollar term loan remains November 6, 2027. The costs to complete the amendment were not material.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we made prepayment of $179.6 million on our Euro term loan B-4 that matures on June 10, 2028. In connection with this prepayment, we expensed $2.1 million of previously unamortized deferred financing costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt.
Debt covenants
Our debt agreements include representations and covenants that we consider usual and customary, and our receivables facility and senior secured credit facilities include a financial covenant that becomes applicable for periods in which we have drawn more than 35% of our revolving credit facility under the senior secured credit facilities. In this circumstance, we are not permitted to have combined borrowings on our senior secured credit facilities and secured notes in excess of a pro forma net leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreements. As we had not drawn more than 35% of our revolving credit facility in this period, this covenant was not applicable at September 30, 2024.

Income tax expense in the quarter is based upon the estimated income for the full year. The composition of the income in different countries and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods influences our expense.
21
The relationship between pre-tax income and income tax expense is affected by the impact of losses for which we cannot claim a tax benefit, non-deductible expenses, and other items that increase tax expense without a relationship to income, such as withholding taxes and changes with respect to uncertain tax positions.
The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily due to an increase in foreign benefit in the third quarter of 2023, as well as a reduced impact of a limitation on the tax deduction of executive compensation expenses in 2024, respectively.
15.    Derivative and hedging activities
Hedging instruments:
We engage in hedging activities to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Our hedging activities are designed to manage specific risks according to our strategies, as summarized below, which may change from time to time. Our hedging activities consist of the following:
•Economic hedges — We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain of our euro-denominated term loans and notes that move inversely from our portfolio of euro-denominated intercompany loans. The currency effects for these non-derivative instruments are recorded through earnings in the period of change and substantially offset one another;
•Other hedging activities — Certain of our subsidiaries hedge short-term foreign currency denominated business transactions, external debt and intercompany financing transactions using foreign currency forward contracts. These activities were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an immaterial amount will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Amount of gain reclassified from AOCI into income$11.0 $5.2 $21.5 $12.7 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the hedging relationship between our $750.0 million notional value interest rate swap and underlying hedged item became ineffective as the hedged forecast transaction was deemed no longer probable of occurring. Due to the ineffectiveness, hedge accounting was discontinued, which resulted in a $6.2 million gain on the hedged transaction to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings. After the hedging relationship was discontinued, we terminated the interest rate swap and monetized $6.2 million of cash proceeds, which were received in October 2024.
Net investment hedges
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments we hold in foreign entities, specifically our net investment in Avantor Holdings B.V., a EUR-functional-currency consolidated subsidiary, against the risk of changes in the EUR-USD exchange rate.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
