REPLIGEN CORP Revenue Disclosure
The Company generates revenue from the sale of bioprocessing products, equipment devices, and related consumables used with these equipment devices to customers in the life science and biopharmaceutical industries. Under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when, or as, obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised product or service is transferred to the customer.

When disaggregating revenue, the Company considered all of the economic factors that may affect its revenues. Because its revenues are from bioprocessing customers, there are no differences in the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows from any of its product lines. However, given that the Company’s revenues are generated in different geographic regions, factors such as regulatory and geopolitical factors within those regions could impact the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows.
Disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by geographic region can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.
Filtration Products
The Company’s filtration franchise generates revenue through the sale of filtration systems, flat sheet cassettes, filters, membranes and modules and other related consumables. The Company’s systems are used in the filtration, isolation, purification and concentration of biologics and diagnostic products.
The Company also markets controllers, which are technologically advanced filtration devices used in upstream processes to continuously remove cellular metabolic waste products during the course of a fermentation run, freeing healthy cells to continue producing the biologic drug of interest.
Sales of large-scale systems and controllers both generally include components and consumables. The initial sale of components and consumables is necessary for the operation of the systems, and such items are combined with the systems as a single performance obligation.
The Company’s other filtration product offerings are not highly interdependent of one another and are therefore considered distinct products that represent separate performance obligations. Revenue on these products is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Chromatography Products
The Company’s chromatography franchise includes a number of products used in the downstream purification and quality control of biological drugs. The majority of chromatography revenue relates to pre-packed chromatography column product line. Each column is delivered pre-packaged with the customer’s choice of chromatography resin, which is either provided by the Company for the customer or is customer supplied. Chromatography product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer and represents a single performance obligation.
Process Analytics Products
Through the acquisition of C Technologies, Inc. in 2019, the Company offers downstream PAT solutions. The Company added to the analytics portfolio in 2025 through the acquisition of 908 Devices PAT Portfolio which brought upstream PAT solutions. In 2025, the Company rebranded its analytics offerings to PATsmart. These offerings include the sale of systems, consumables and services. These products complement and support the Company’s existing franchises as they offer end-users real-time analytics. Process analytics product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.
Protein Products
The Company’s protein franchise generates revenue primarily through the sale of affinity protein ligands, resins, and growth factors. The Company manufactures multiple forms of protein ligands under long-term supply agreements with major life sciences companies, who in turn sell their chromatography media to end users (biopharmaceutical manufacturers). The Company also manufactures growth factors for sale under long-term supply agreements with certain life sciences companies as well as for direct sales to its customers.
Each protein product is considered distinct and therefore represents a separate performance obligation. Protein product revenue is generally recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control to the customer.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $10.4 million of revenue that was deferred and included within accrued liabilities and other noncurrent current liabilities as of December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $16.4 million of revenue that was deferred and included within accrued liabilities and other noncurrent current liabilities as of December 31, 2023. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in the accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
A contract asset is created when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to the customer. Contract assets may represent conditional or unconditional rights to consideration. The right is conditional and recorded as a contract asset if the Company must first satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to billed receivables once the right becomes unconditional. If the Company has the unconditional right to receive consideration from the customer, the contract asset is accounted for as a billed receivable and presented separately from other contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.
When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Customer Contract
The Company’s sales commission structure is based on achieving revenue targets. The commissions are driven by revenue derived from customer purchase orders which are short-term in nature.
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss. When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company accounts for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
