Azenta, Inc Obtains Regulatory Approval for Clinical Long-Read Whole Genome Sequencing Test Azenta, Inc. announced the launch of a long-read Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test for clinical applications. Azenta becomes the first commercial provider to obtain regulatory approval to offer this test in the United States. Traditional short-read sequencing methods often struggle with identifying genetic variants in repetitive regions of the genome that underpin many rare diseases, hindering accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments. In contrast, Azenta's test makes use of PacBio's Revio sequencer to obtain long and highly accurate HiFi sequencing reads to cover regions that are inaccessible by short reads. Performed within GENEWIZ from Azenta Life Sciences CLIA certified and CAP accredited clinical genomics laboratory, the test enables precise detection of a range of complex genomic alterations that are features of many rare diseases and undetectable by traditional approaches. This allows for a view of the genome with unprecedented comprehensiveness. Breakeven Date Change • Aug 15

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$16m net loss in 2 years).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 20% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 20% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$27m net loss next year). New Risk • Feb 08
New minor risk - Profitability The company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 2 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$17m Forecast net loss in 2 years: US$13m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Board Change • Feb 06

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €466k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.0% average weekly change).
