Robert Leasure Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we continued to execute on the financial goals we outlined during our investor day in May.

We were pleased that our revenue improved over the third quarter, and the year over year quarterly revenue increase of 5.9% was in line with our expectations.

In the fourth quarter, we saw DSA revenue increase 15.7% over the prior year quarter and DSA net awards increase approximately 61% over the prior year quarter. We consistently monitor operational data and client metrics to help build a strong recurring client base.

Recent Developments
The Company recently engaged Perella Weinberg Partners to provide general financial advisory and investment banking services to assist the Company in exploring potential debt refinancing alternatives.
In connection with Phase Two of our site optimization plans, we sold two U.S. properties during fiscal year 2025. The net proceeds from the sale in June 2025 were used to repay principal on our term loans during Q4 FY 2025, and the net proceeds from the sale in September 2025 were used to repay principal on our term loans during October 2025.
On August 8, 2025, we became aware of a cybersecurity incident affecting certain of our systems and data (the "2025 Cybersecurity Incident"). We have restored availability and access to our networks and systems. The forensic investigation of the 2025 Cybersecurity Incident is now complete and determined that between approximately August 5-8, 2025, a threat actor gained unauthorized access to the Company's systems and may have acquired certain data. The Company is in the process of providing notifications regarding the 2025 Cybersecurity Incident in accordance with applicable legal obligations. While we have identified the likely scope of the incident, the full operational and financial impacts are still being evaluated. Accordingly, we have not yet determined whether the 2025 Cybersecurity Incident is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results (Three Months Ended September 30, 2025)
Revenue increased 5.9% to $138.1 million in Q4 FY 2025 as compared to $130.4 million in Q4 FY 2024. The higher total revenue in Q4 FY 2025 was primarily driven by an increase of $7.1 million in DSA revenue. The increase in DSA revenue was primarily driven by a $3.9 million increase in safety assessment services revenue as a result of an increases in biotherapeutic analysis revenue in connection with new business at our Rockville facility, an increase in general toxicology services revenue and an increase in surgical services revenue. The remaining increase in DSA revenue was primarily due to an increase in our discovery and translational sciences services revenue of $3.2 million.
Operating loss was $6.8 million in Q4 FY 2025 as compared to $13.2 million in Q4 FY 2024. The decrease in operating loss was primarily driven by increases in RMS operating income of $2.9 million and in DSA operating income of $2.3 million, as well as a reduction in unallocated corporate expenses of $1.1 million. The increase in RMS operating income was driven by a reduction in cost of services provided and cost of products sold (collectively, "cost of revenue"), primarily driven by reductions in costs related to non-human primates ("NHPs"), operating expenses and depreciation and amortization of intangible assets. The increase in DSA operating income was driven by the increase in revenue discussed above, partially offset by an increase in cost of revenue primarily driven by increased research model expenses, compensation and benefits expense, professional fees and facility-related expenses.
Fiscal 2025 Financial Results (Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2025)
Revenue increased 4.5% to $513.0 million in FY 2025 as compared to $490.7 million in FY 2024. The higher total revenue was primarily driven by an increase of $14.5 million in RMS revenue and a $7.8 million increase in DSA revenue. The increase in RMS revenue was due primarily to increased NHP product and service revenues of $14.3 million. The increase in DSA revenue was primarily driven by a $6.4 million increase in safety assessment services revenue as a result of an increase in biotherapeutic analysis revenue in connection with new business at our Rockville facility, an increase in surgical services revenue and an increase in general toxicology services revenue. The remaining increase in DSA revenue was primarily due to an increase in our discovery and translational science services revenue.
Operating loss was $30.9 million in FY 2025 as compared to $86.4 million in FY 2024. The decrease in operating loss was primarily driven by an increase in RMS operating income of $52.5 million. This was primarily driven by a decrease in RMS operating expenses of $38.2 million, the increase in RMS revenue of $14.5 million discussed above and a decrease in RMS depreciation and amortization of intangible assets of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in RMS cost of revenue of $1.5 million. The decrease in RMS operating expenses was primarily driven by the $28.5 million charge incurred during FY 2024 related to the Resolution Agreement and Plea Agreement, which did not repeat during FY 2025, and the legal settlement of $7.6 million that we received during FY 2025, among other immaterial changes.
Cash and cash equivalents was $21.7 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $21.4 million at September 30, 2024. Cash used in operating activities was $10.5 million for FY 2025 compared to $6.8 million of cash used in operating activities for FY 2024. For FY 2025, capital expenditures totaled $16.6 million compared to $22.3 million for FY 2024. Total debt, net of debt issuance costs, as of September 30, 2025, was $402.1 million compared to $393.3 million on September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, there were $3.0 million of borrowings on the Company's $15.0 million revolving credit facility.

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP:), including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and selected business segment information for those periods. Adjusted EBITDA as reported herein refers to a financial measure that excludes from consolidated net loss statements of operations line items interest expense, net and income tax benefit, as well as non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, startup costs, restructuring costs, unrealized foreign exchange (gain) loss, amortization of inventory step up, loss (gain) on disposition of assets, amounts received from a legal settlement with Freese and Nichols, Inc.

The adjusted business segment information excludes from operating loss and unallocated corporate operating expenses for these same expenses. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate the Company's ongoing operations. They can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and in identifying operating trends that would otherwise be masked or distorted by the items subject to the adjustments. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as supplemental and in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of our results and to illustrate our results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
