Azenta Reports Second Quarter Results for Fiscal 2026, Ended March 31, 2026, Updates Full Year Fiscal 2026 Guidance, and Extends Long-Range Plan to 2029
The company said a $149 million goodwill charge and weaker North America volumes pushed operating loss to $165.8 million and forced a lower revenue forecast.
On Tuesday, Azenta, Inc. reported second-quarter results and cut its fiscal 2026 outlook after recording a $149 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge in operating expenses.
President and CEO of Azenta Life Sciences John Marotta cited "execution gaps and a more cautious demand environment, particularly in North America" for results falling short of expectations.
Organic revenue declined 3% year-over-year, while the company reported a $165.8 million operating loss for the quarter, driven by weakness in Multiomics and Sample Management Solutions.
Azenta is increasing operational rigor and strengthening leadership across the organization while extending its long-range financial plan targets by one year to 2029 from 2028.
For fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, Azenta expects total revenue to range between approximately $603 million and $621 million, reflecting cautious near-term outlook.
