Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) announced today the results of the fourth quarter ended May 31, 2025.

“The softer end-market conditions continued in the fourth quarter, with elevated trade uncertainty and the cumulative effect of the last four years of inflation on food production,” said John Adent, Neogen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the Food Safety end market can still grow in this environment, but at a rate below what we estimate as its normal historical performance. Outside of the specific challenges in our sample collection product line, Food Safety core revenue grew low-single-digits in the fourth quarter and mid-single digits for the full year. Although profitability in the fourth quarter was below our expectations, we have multi-pronged improvement actions underway to address the several issues that weighed on our results in the quarter and expect to see a decreasing impact moving forward."

Adent continued, “As the Company progresses into the later stages of the integration, the final piece, Petrifilm production, continues to progress well. Our core mission – helping to protect the world’s food supply – has never been more relevant and we believe that our long-term growth drivers remain fully intact. The global food system is under increasing pressure to be safer, more transparent and more resilient, and we see the current regulatory backdrop as favorable, particularly in the US, with the USDA having made key announcements this month focused on the priority of food safety. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, as well as our leading product portfolio and innovation opportunities, Neogen is a valuable partner for both customers and regulators in maximizing the effectiveness of their food safety efforts. The Neogen team is entirely focused on the road ahead and executing with precision, excited about the positive future we believe is in store for the Company.”

Financial and Business Highlights

Revenues for the fourth quarter were $225.5 million, a decrease of 4.8% compared to $236.8 million in the prior year. Core revenue, which excludes the impacts of foreign currency translation, as well as acquisitions completed and product lines discontinued in the last 12 months, was a decline of 2.9%. Acquisitions and discontinued product lines represented a 0.9% negative impact, while foreign currency had a negative impact of 1.0%.

Revenues for the full year were $894.7 million, a decrease of 3.2% compared to $924.2 million in the prior year, including core revenue decline of 0.2%. Acquisitions and discontinued product lines represented a 0.4% negative impact, while foreign currency was a headwind of 2.6%.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $612.2 million, or $(2.82) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $5.4 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, in the prior-year period, with the current period net loss driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge related primarily to the acquisition of the former 3M Food Safety Division. Adjusted Net Income was $11.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $22.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior-year period, with the decline driven primarily by the lower level of operating income.

Net loss for the full year was $1,092.0 million, or $(5.03) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $9.4 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, in the prior year, with the current-year net loss driven by non-cash goodwill impairment charges related primarily to the acquisition of the former 3M Food Safety Division. Adjusted Net Income for the full year was $70.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $97.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the prior year, with the decline driven primarily by the lower level of operating income.

Gross margin, expressed as a percentage of sales, was 41.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. This compares to a gross margin of 47.9% in the same quarter a year ago, with the decrease primarily due to transaction and integration related costs, the majority of which were associated with the Company’s relocated production of sample collection products, and an elevated level of inventory adjustments, as well as lower revenue. Excluding these costs, fourth-quarter gross margin was 46.5%.

Gross margin for the full year was 47.1% compared to a gross margin of 50.2% in the prior year.

Fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $40.6 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 18.0%, compared to $53.0 million and a margin of 22.4% in the prior-year period. The lower Adjusted EBITDA Margin was primarily the result of the decline in gross margin.

Full-year Adjusted EBITDA was $184.2 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.6% compared to $213.2 million and a margin of 23.1% in the prior year.

Food Safety Segment

Revenues for the Food Safety segment were $161.8 million in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 3.0% compared to $166.9 million in the prior year, consisting of a 1.3% core revenue decline, a 0.4% negative impact from acquisitions and discontinued product lines and a negative foreign currency impact of 1.3%. The segment experienced core revenue growth in Biosecurity products and the Bacterial & General Sanitation product category, which benefited from strong growth in pathogen detection products. In the Company’s Indicator Testing, Culture Media & Other product category, solid growth from new food quality and nutritional analysis products was offset by a decline in sales of sample collection products, as well as a decline in sales of Petrifilm, largely the result of comparing against a prior-year quarter in which an elevated backlog of orders was reduced. Within the Natural Toxins & Allergens product category, modest growth in allergens was offset by a decline in sales of natural toxin test kits

For the full year, revenues for the Food Safety segment were $638.1 million, a decrease of 2.6% compared to $655.3 million in the prior year, consisting of core growth of 1.2%, a 0.2% negative impact from acquisitions and a foreign currency headwind of 3.6%.

Animal Safety Segment

Revenues for the Animal Safety segment were $63.6 million in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 8.9% compared to $69.9 million in the prior year, consisting of a 6.7% core revenue decline, a 2.0% headwind from discontinued product lines and negative foreign currency impact of 0.2%. In the Veterinary Instruments & Disposables product category, lower revenue was primarily driven by a decline in sales of needles and syringes. In the Company’s Animal Care & Other product category, growth in sales of small-animal supplements was offset by lower sales of vitamin injectables. In the Company’s portfolio of biosecurity products, strong growth in rodent control products was offset primarily by a decline in sales of insect control products.

For the full year, revenues for the Animal Safety segment were $256.5 million, a decrease of 4.6% compared to $268.9 million in the prior year, consisting of a core revenue decline of 3.5%, a 1.0% headwind from discontinued product lines and negative foreign currency impact of 0.1%.

On a global basis, core revenue growth in the Company’s Genomics business experienced sequential improvement, declining low-single-digits in the fourth quarter. Strong growth in the bovine market, particularly internationally, was offset by a decline in the companion animal and other markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2025, the Company had total cash and investments of $129.0 million and total outstanding debt of $900.0 million, as well as committed borrowing headroom of $150.0 million. The Company intends to use net proceeds of approximately $115 million from the July closing of the Cleaners & Disinfectants divestiture to repay $100 million of debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which would reduce the Company’s net leverage ratio by approximately 0.4x on a pro forma basis.

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company is initiating its full-year outlook for fiscal year 2026. Revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $820 million to $840 million, primarily reflecting the expectation of continued end-market weakness. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $165 million to $175 million, which includes a lower level of inventory write-offs, as well as the estimated negative impact of sample collection production inefficiencies and tariffs. Capital expenditures are expected to decline significantly in fiscal year 2026 to approximately $50 million from $105 million in fiscal 2025. The Company’s outlook excludes the results of the divested Cleaners & Disinfectants business from the closing date of July 17, 2025, forward.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes are useful to investors, securities analysts and other interested parties. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of revenues for that period.

Management uses Adjusted Net Income as an additional measure of profitability. Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income before certain items that impact comparison of the performance of our business, either period-over-period or with other businesses.

Core revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that represents net sales for the period excluding the effects of foreign currency translation rates and the impacts of acquisitions and discontinued product lines, where applicable. Core revenue growth is presented to allow for a meaningful comparison of year-over-year performance without the volatility caused by foreign currency translation rates, or the incomparability that would be caused by the impact of an acquisition, disposal or product line discontinuation.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see below for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
