Overview

We are a leading life sciences company providing critical products to enable the
development of drug therapies, diagnostics, novel vaccines and support research
on human diseases. Our customers include the top global biopharmaceutical
companies ranked by research and development expenditures according to industry
consultants, and many other emerging biopharmaceutical and life sciences
research companies, as well as leading academic research institutions and in
vitro diagnostics companies. Our products address the key phases of
biopharmaceutical development and include complex nucleic acids for diagnostic
and therapeutic applications, antibody-based products to detect impurities
during the production of biopharmaceutical products, and products to detect the
expression of proteins in tissues of various species.

We have and will continue to build a transformative life sciences products
company by acquiring businesses and accelerating their growth through capital
infusions and industry expertise. Biomedical innovation is dependent on a
reliable supply of reagents in the fields of nucleic acid production, biologics
safety testing and protein labeling. From inventive startups to the world's
leading biopharmaceutical, vaccine, diagnostics and gene and cell therapy
companies, these customers turn to us to solve their complex discovery
challenges and help them streamline and scale their supply chain needs beginning
from research and development through clinical trials to commercialization.

Our primary customers are biopharmaceutical companies who are pursuing novel
research and product development programs. Our customers also include a range of
government, academic and biotechnology institutions.

As of June 30, 2022, we employed a team of over 550 employees, approximately 18%
of whom have advanced degrees. We primarily utilize a direct sales model for our
sales to our customers in North America. Our international sales, primarily in
Europe and Asia Pacific, are sold through a combination of third-party
distributors as well as via a direct sales model. The percentage of our total
revenue derived from customers in North America was 36.7% and 36.2% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The percentage of our
total revenue derived from customers in North America was 35.1% and 42.3% for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

We generated revenue of $242.7 million and $487.0 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $217.8 million and $366.0 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

We focus a substantial portion of our resources supporting our core business
segments. We are actively pursuing opportunities to expand our customer base
both domestically and internationally by fostering strong relationships with
both existing and new customers and distributors. Our management team has
experience working with biopharmaceutical, vaccine, diagnostics and gene and
cell therapy companies as well as academic and research scientists. We also
intend to continue making investments in our overall infrastructure and business
segments to support our growth. We incurred aggregate selling, general and
administrative expenses of $28.1 million and $61.3 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $24.5 million and $48.0 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Our research and development efforts are geared towards supporting our
customers' needs. We incurred research and development expenses of $4.3 million
and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively,
and $1.9 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2021, respectively. We intend to continue to invest in research and development
and new products and technologies to support our customers' needs for the
foreseeable future.

Recent Developments

Acquisition

In January 2022, we completed the acquisition of MyChem, LLC ("MyChem"), a
privately-held San Diego, California-based provider of ultra-pure nucleotides to
customers in the diagnostics, pharma, genomics and research markets, for a total
purchase consideration of $257.8 million. As a result of the acquisition, we own
all the outstanding interest in MyChem. Our consolidated results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 include the operating results
of MyChem from the acquisition date. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.

Government Assistance

In May 2022, TriLink entered into a cooperative agreement ("Cooperative
Agreement") with the U.S. Department of Defense, as represented by the Joint
Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear
Defense on behalf of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority
("BARDA"), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to advance
the development of domestic manufacturing capabilities and to expand TriLink's
domestic production capacity for products critical to the development and
manufacture of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, including nucleoside
triphosphates and CleanCap®, TriLink's proprietary co-transcriptional mRNA
capping reagents.

TriLink is expanding its San Diego manufacturing campus by making a significant
investment in additional cleanroom and small molecule manufacturing space,
implementing automation systems and adding support areas to augment production
capacity (the "Flanders San Diego Facility"). Pursuant to certain requirements,
BARDA awarded TriLink an amount equal to 50% of the construction and validation
costs currently budgeted for the Flanders San Diego Facility. See Note 6 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Trends and Uncertainties

COVID-19 Related Revenue Trends and Uncertainties



Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, our results of
operations and cash flows have substantially benefited from the strong demand
for COVID-19 related products and services, including our proprietary CleanCap®
analogs and highly modified RNA products, particularly mRNA. We estimate that
revenue from COVID-19 related products and services represented approximately
73.2% and 71.8%, respectively, of our total revenues for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022. However, we expect the second quarter of 2022 to
represent the highest revenue quarter for revenue attributable to our COVID-19
related products and services, with substantial declines in COVID-19 related
revenue expected in the future. In addition to the general market trend of
reduced demand for COVID-19 related products and services as the pandemic
subsides, our COVID-19 related revenue for the remainder of 2022 and continuing
into 2023 may be negatively impacted by unused inventory of our products that
our customers have on hand. We are unable to estimate the impact of this unused
inventory on future demand given both binding contractual commitments by our
customers for additional purchases and that our customers generally have not
provided us with detailed inventory data. Our longer-term revenue prospects for
COVID-19 related products are highly uncertain but are expected to be
substantially less than pandemic highs. The factors that could influence
longer-term COVID-19 related revenue include: the emergence, duration and
intensity of new virus variants; competition faced by our customers from other
COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers or developers of alternative treatments; the
availability and administration of pediatric and booster vaccinations, vaccine
supply constraints, vaccine hesitancy and the effectiveness of vaccines against
new virus strains; and the U.S. economy and global economy, including impacts
resulting from supply chain constraints, labor market shortages and inflationary
pressures. This contraction in COVID-19 related demand will significantly
                                       36

decrease our revenue and cash flow, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition in the future.

Other Trends and Uncertainties



Biopharmaceutical customers are increasingly relying on outside parties to
provide important inputs and services for their clinical research and
manufacturing, a development driving growth for suppliers with unique
capabilities and the ability to manufacture at an appropriate scale to support
customer programs. We believe that suppliers like ourselves, with this rare
combination of capabilities, proprietary products and the required investment in
manufacturing and quality systems, are benefiting from rapid growth as
biopharmaceutical customers seek to partner with a small number of trusted
suppliers. In addition to the continued trend toward outsourcing, several market
developments are driving increased growth, in our addressable market segments,
including: (i) pivot toward mRNA vaccines driven in part by COVID-19; (ii) rapid
growth in development of cell and gene therapies; (iii) large and growing
pipeline of protein-based therapeutics; and (iv) rise in molecular diagnostics
driven by COVID-19.

How We Assess Our Business

We consider a variety of financial and operating measures in assessing the performance of our business. The key measures we use to determine how our business is performing are revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.



Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income
(loss) adjusted for interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation,
amortization and stock-based compensation expenses. Adjusted EBITDA reflects
further adjustments to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain
non-cash and other items, that we do not consider representative of our ongoing
operating performance. We also present Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is a
non-GAAP measure that we define as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the financial performance of our
business and the effectiveness of our business strategies. We present Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow because we believe they are frequently used
by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our
industry and they facilitate comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting
periods. Further, we believe they are helpful in highlighting trends in our
operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of our core
operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a component of the financial
covenant under our credit agreement that governs our ability to access more than
$63.0 million in aggregate letters of credit and available borrowings under our
revolving credit facility. In addition, if we borrow more than $63.0 million, we
are required to maintain a specified net leverage ratio. See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources-Sources of Liquidity-Debt Covenants" below for a discussion of
this financial covenant.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools
and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of
our results as reported under GAAP. We may in the future incur expenses similar
to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, we
expect to incur meaningful share-based compensation expense in the future. Other
limitations include that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow do not
reflect:

•all expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•changes in our working capital needs;

•provision for income taxes, which may be a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;

•the costs of replacing the assets being depreciated, which will often have to be replaced in the future;

•the non-cash component of employee compensation expense; and

•the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations.



In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across
different industries.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue



Our revenue consists primarily of product revenue and, to a much lesser extent,
service revenue. We generated total consolidated revenue of $242.7 million and
$487.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively,
and $217.8 million and $366.0 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2021, respectively, through the following segments: (i) Nucleic Acid
Production, (ii) Biologics Safety Testing and (iii) Protein Detection. We
divested our Protein Detection segment in September 2021, and since then operate
two business segments only, Nucleic Acid Production and Biologics Safety
Testing.

Nucleic Acid Production Segment



Our Nucleic Acid Production segment focuses on the manufacturing and sale of
highly modified nucleic acids products to support the needs of customers'
research, therapeutic and vaccine programs. This segment also provides research
products for labeling and detecting proteins in cells and tissue samples.

Biologics Safety Testing Segment

Our Biologics Safety Testing segment focuses on manufacturing and selling biologics safety and impurity tests and assay development services that are utilized by our customers in their biologic drug manufacturing activities.

Protein Detection Segment



Our Protein Detection segment products, which included a portfolio of labeling
and visual detection reagents, were purchased by our scientific research
customers for their tissue-based protein detection and characterization needs.
In September 2021, we completed the divestiture of Vector Laboratories, Inc. and
subsidiaries ("Vector"), which made up our Protein Detection segment.

Cost of Revenue



Cost of revenue associated with our products primarily consists of manufacturing
related costs incurred in the production process, including personnel and
related costs, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-downs, costs of
materials, labor and overhead, packaging and delivery costs and allocated costs,
including facilities, information technology, depreciation and amortization of
intangibles. Cost of revenue associated with our services primarily consists of
personnel and related costs, stock-based compensation expense, cost of materials
and allocated costs, including facilities and information technology costs.
Costs of services were not material for the three and six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021.

We expect cost of revenue to increase in future periods as our revenue grows.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative



Our selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries,
benefits and stock-based compensation expense for our employees in our
commercial sales functions, marketing, executive, accounting and finance, legal
and human resource functions as well as travel expenses, professional services
fees, such as consulting, audit, tax and legal fees, general corporate costs and
allocated costs, including facilities, information technology and amortization
of intangibles.

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to
increase, primarily due to increased headcount and expanding facilities
footprint to support anticipated growth in the business, costs incurred in
increasing our presence globally and increases in marketing activities to drive
awareness and adoption of our products and services, and due to incremental
costs associated with operating as a public company.

Research and Development



Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, benefits,
stock-based compensation expense, outside contracted services, cost of supplies,
in-process research and development costs from asset acquisitions and allocated
facilities costs for employees engaged in research and development of products
and services. We expense all research and development costs in the period in
which they are incurred. Payment made prior to the receipt of goods or services
to be used in research and development are recognized as prepaid assets until
the goods are received or services are rendered.
                                       38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



We expect that our research and development costs will continue to increase to
support our research and development efforts, including meeting our customers'
needs.

Change in Estimated Fair Value of Contingent Consideration



In the first quarter of 2022, we completed the acquisition of MyChem and
recorded a contingent consideration liability of $7.8 million. In the second
quarter of 2022, we recorded a fair value adjustment to the liability based on
our assessment of the probability of achieving certain revenue thresholds and
other probability factors. This was due to a change in estimate associated with
MyChem revenue projections reaching thresholds that would trigger a contingent
payment per the MyChem Securities Purchase Agreement (the "MyChem SPA").

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense

Interest expense consist of interest costs and the related amortization of the debt discount and deferred issuance costs on our outstanding debt.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt



Loss on extinguishment of debt represent the write-off of remaining unamortized
debt discount and deferred issuance costs on previously outstanding debt when we
engage in refinancing activities.

Change in Payable to Related Parties Pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement



The Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment reflects changes in the Tax
Receivable Agreement liability recorded in our condensed consolidated balance
sheets as a result of change in the tax benefit obligation attributable to a
change in the expected tax benefit.

Income Tax Expense



As a result of our ownership of LLC Units in Topco LLC, we are subject to U.S.
federal, state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any
taxable income of Topco LLC and will be taxed at the prevailing corporate tax
rates.

Non-Controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss, net assets
and comprehensive income or loss of our consolidated subsidiaries that is not
allocable to the Company based on our percentage of ownership of such entities.
Income or loss attributed to the non-controlling interests is based on the LLC
Units outstanding during the period and is presented on the condensed
consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2022, we held 51.5% of the
outstanding LLC Units of Topco LLC and 48.5% of the outstanding LLC Units of
Topco LLC were held by MLSH 1.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Total revenue was $242.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $217.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of $25.0 million, or 11.5%.



Nucleic Acid Production revenue increased from $192.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 to $225.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
2022, representing an increase of $32.7 million, or 17.0%. The increase in
Nucleic Acid Production revenue was the result of continued strong demand for
our proprietary CleanCap analogs as COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers scaled
production and increased demand for mRNA products as this technology becomes
incorporated into more therapeutic and vaccine development programs for a
variety of indications. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we estimate
that approximately $177.6 million, or 93.2%, of our $190.6 million CleanCap
revenue was a result of customer demand attributable to COVID-19 vaccines or
other COVID-19 related commercial products or developmental programs. For the
three months ended June 30, 2021, we estimate that approximately $155.1 million,
or 94.9%, of our $163.5 million CleanCap revenue was a result of customer demand
attributable to COVID-19 vaccines or other COVID-19 related commercial products
or developmental programs.

Biologics Safety Testing revenue decreased from $18.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
2022, representing a decrease of $0.7 million, or 4.0%. The decrease from prior
period was not significant.

There was no Protein Detection revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022
due to the sale of our Protein Detection business segment, which was completed
in early September 2021.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Total revenue was $487.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $366.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, representing an increase of $121.0 million, or 33.1%.



Nucleic Acid Production revenue increased from $316.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 to $448.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022,
representing an increase of $132.4 million, or 41.9%. The increase in Nucleic
Acid Production revenue was driven by continued strong demand for our
proprietary CleanCap analogs as COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers scaled production
and ongoing demand for highly modified RNA products. For the six months ended
June 30, 2022, we estimate that approximately $349.6 million, or 93.4%, of our
$374.4 million CleanCap revenue was a result of customer demand attributable to
COVID-19 vaccines or other COVID-19 related commercial products or developmental
programs. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we estimate that approximately
$246.3 million, or 95.4%, of our $258.2
                                       42

million CleanCap revenue was a result of customer demand attributable to COVID-19 vaccines or other COVID-19 related commercial products or developmental programs.



Biologics Safety Testing revenue increased from $35.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 to $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022,
representing an increase of $2.3 million, or 6.3%. The increase was driven by
higher demand as the result of growth in the underlying markets supporting cell
and gene therapies, biosimilar and other biologic programs.

There was no Protein Detection revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022
due to the sale of our Protein Detection business segment, which was completed
in early September 2021.

Segment Information

Management has determined that adjusted earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization is the profit or loss measure used to make
resource allocation decisions and evaluate segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA
assists management in comparing the segment performance on a consistent basis
for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items
that management believes do not directly reflect the core operations and,
therefore, are not included in measuring segment performance. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
certain non-cash items and other adjustments that we do not consider in our
evaluation of ongoing operating performance from period to period. Corporate
costs, net of eliminations are managed on a standalone basis and are not
allocated to segments.

We do not allocate assets to our reportable segments as they are not included in the review performed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources.

As of June 30, 2022, all of our long-lived assets were located within the United States.



The following schedule includes revenue and adjusted EBITDA for each of our
reportable operating segments (in thousands). We have revised our presentation
for the prior periods below to remove the presentation of Total Adjusted EBITDA
and reconcile the total of our reportable segments' measure of profit or loss to
income before income taxes, in addition to net income, and removed corporate
costs, net of eliminations from total reportable segments' adjusted EBITDA and
included such amounts in the reconciliation to income before income taxes.
Additionally, we have revised our presentation for the prior

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, intersegment revenue was
immaterial between the Nucleic Acid Production and Biologics Safety Testing
segments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, intersegment
revenue was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, between the Nucleic
Acid Production and Protein Detection segments. The intersegment sales and the
related gross margin on inventory recorded at the end of the period are
eliminated for consolidation purposes. Internal selling prices for intersegment
sales are consistent with the segment's normal retail price offered to external
parties. There was no commission expense recognized for intersegment sales for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Cost of Revenue

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



Cost of revenue decreased by $0.3 million from $37.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 to $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30,

ended June 30, 2021 to $77.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or
12.0%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to an increase
in direct product costs and supplies and materials resulting from higher sales
volume. Gross profit increased by $112.7 million from $296.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 to $409.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022. The increase in the gross profit margin as a percentage of sales was
primarily attributable to favorable product mix shift.

Selling, General and Administrative

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.6 million from
$24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $28.1 million for the

a $3.0 million increase in personnel costs and $0.4 million of transaction costs
associated with the acquisition of MyChem.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $13.3 million from
$48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $61.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022, or 27.7%. The increase was primarily driven by a
$4.0 million increase in personnel costs, $3.4 million of transaction costs
associated with the acquisition of MyChem, a $1.7 million increase in marketing
and consulting services, $1.6 million from working capital adjustments related
to the sale of Vector in September 2021, $1.2 million of diligence fees
associated with merger and acquisition activities and $0.9 million of fees

for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $4.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, or 121.6%. The increase was primarily driven by $2.5
million in personnel costs relating to retention payment accruals associated
with the acquisition of MyChem.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



Research and development expenses increased by $3.9 million from $4.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $8.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, or 94.9%. The increase was primarily driven by $4.3 million in
personnel costs relating to retention payment accruals associated with the
acquisition of MyChem.

Change in Estimated Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



The change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration of $7.8 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was due to the decrease in
estimated fair value of the liability for the contingent payments associated
with the acquisition of MyChem. This was due to a change in estimate associated
with MyChem revenue projections reaching thresholds that would trigger a
contingent payment per the MyChem SPA.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



Other expense was $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing a
decrease of $1.9 million, or 25.4%. The decrease in expense was primarily
attributable to a $3.2 million decrease in interest expense due to a $1.7
million change in fair value of the interest rate cap and $1.5 million decrease
in interest expense driven by the lower interest rates from the debt refinancing
transaction. This was partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million in other
expense relating to adjustments to the indemnification asset recorded in
connection with the acquisition of MyChem.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021



Other expense was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared
to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing a decrease
of $3.4 million, or 35.5%. The decrease in expense was primarily attributable to
a $8.5 million decrease in interest expense due to a $4.7 million change in fair
value of the interest rate cap and $3.7 million decrease in interest expense
driven by the lower interest rates from the debt refinancing transaction. This
was partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in gain related to the payable
to related parties pursuant to a Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of changes
in our estimated state income tax apportionment and the corresponding reduction
of our estimated state income tax rate, and an increase of $1.3 million in other
expense relating to adjustments to the indemnification asset recorded in
connection with the acquisition of MyChem.

Relationship with GTCR, LLC ("GTCR")



Prior to our initial public offering ("IPO"), we utilized GTCR for certain
services pursuant to an advisory services agreement. Under this agreement, GTCR
provided us with financial and management consulting services in the areas of
corporate strategy, budgeting for future corporate investments, acquisition and
divestiture strategies, and debt and equity financings. The advisory services
agreement provided that we pay a $0.1 million quarterly management fee to GTCR
for these services. We also reimbursed GTCR for out-of-pocket expenses incurred
while providing these services. The advisory services agreement also
                                       48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



provided that certain of our subsidiaries pay placement fees to GTCR of 1.0% of
the gross amount of debt or equity financings. In connection with our IPO, this
advisory services agreement was terminated.

As GTCR continues to have representation on our Board of Directors, we will
continue to pay GTCR for any direct reimbursable expenses related to their Board
activities. We paid GTCR insignificant amounts during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. We may continue to engage GTCR from time to time,
subject to compliance with our related party transactions policy.

We made distributions of $42.6 million and $82.5 million during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $33.1 million and $56.2
million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, for
tax liabilities to MLSH 1, which is primarily owned by GTCR.

We are also a party to a Tax Receivable Agreement, or TRA, with MLSH 1, who is
primarily owned by GTCR, and MLSH 2 (see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q). The TRA provides for the payment by us to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2,
collectively, of 85.0% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually
realize, or in some circumstances are deemed to realize, from exchanges of LLC
Units (together with the corresponding shares of Class B common stock) for Class
A common stock, as a result of (i) certain increases in the tax basis of assets
of Topco LLC and its subsidiaries resulting from purchases or exchanges of LLC
Units, (ii) certain tax attributes of the entities acquired from MLSH 1 and MLSH
2 in connection with the Organizational Transactions, Topco LLC and subsidiaries
of Topco LLC that existed prior to the IPO, and (iii) certain other tax benefits
related to our entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to
payments that we make under the TRA (collectively, the "Tax Attributes").
Payment obligations under the TRA are not conditioned upon any Topco LLC
unitholders maintaining a continued ownership interest in us or Topco LLC, and
the rights of MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 under the TRA are assignable. There is no stated
term for the TRA, and the TRA will continue until all tax benefits have been
utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA for an
agreed-upon amount.

No payments were made to MLSH 1 or MLSH 2 pursuant to the TRA during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, our liability under the
TRA was $746.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have financed our operations primarily from cash flow from operations, borrowings under long-term debt agreements and, to a lesser extent, the sale of our Class A common stock.



As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $550.7 million and retained earnings of
$322.7 million. We had net income of $156.7 million and $303.6 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. We also had positive
cash flows from operations of $326.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022.

We have relied on revenue derived from product and services sales, and equity and debt financings to fund our operations to date.

Our principal uses of cash have been to fund operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures, as well as make tax distributions to MLSH 1, make TRA payments to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 as well as make interest payments and mandatory principal payments on our long-term debt.



We plan to utilize our existing cash on hand, together with cash generated from
operations, primarily to fund our commercial and marketing activities associated
with our products and services, continued research and development initiatives,
and ongoing investments into our manufacturing facilities to create efficiencies
and build capacity. We believe our cash on hand, cash generated from operations
and continued access to our credit facilities, will be sufficient to satisfy our
cash requirements over the next 12 months and beyond.

To the extent revenue from sales in our two remaining business segments
continues to grow, we expect our accounts receivable and inventory balances to
increase. Any increase in accounts receivable and inventory may not be
completely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which
could result in greater working capital requirements. Moreover, we have and will
continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public
company, including expenses related to legal, accounting, regulatory, exchange
listing and regulatory compliance matters.

As a result of our ownership of LLC Units in Topco LLC, the Company is subject
to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable
share of any taxable income of Topco LLC and is taxed at the prevailing
corporate tax rates. In addition to tax expenses, we also will incur expenses
related to our operations and we will be required to make payments under the TRA
with MLSH 1 and MLSH 2. Due to the uncertainty of various factors, we cannot
precisely quantify the likely tax
                                       49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



benefits we will realize as a result of LLC Unit exchanges and the resulting
amounts we are likely to pay out to LLC Unitholders of Topco LLC pursuant to the
TRA; however, we estimate that such payments may be substantial. Assuming no
changes in the relevant tax law, and that we earn sufficient taxable income to
realize all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA, we expect that future
payments under the TRA relating to the purchase by the Company of LLC Units from
MLSH 1 and the tax attributes to be approximately $746.0 million and to range
over the next 15 years from approximately $34.7 million to $63.0 million per
year and decline thereafter. Future payments in respect of subsequent exchanges
or financings would be in addition to these amounts and are expected to be
substantial. The foregoing numbers are estimates and the actual payments could
differ materially. We expect to fund these payments using cash on hand and cash
generated from operations.

As a result of a change of control, material breach, or our election to
terminate the TRA early, (1) we could be required to make cash payments to MLSH
1 and MLSH 2 that are greater than the specified percentage of the actual
benefits we ultimately realize in respect of the tax benefits that are subject
to the TRA and (2) we will be required to make an immediate cash payment equal
to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits that are the subject
of the TRA, which payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual
realization, if any, of such future tax benefits. In these situations, our
obligations under the TRA could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity
and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers,
asset sales, other forms of business combination, or other changes of control.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately finance our payment
obligations under the TRA.

In addition to payments to be made under the TRA, we are also required to make tax distributions to MLSH 1 pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreement for the portion of income passing through to them from Topco LLC.

Credit Agreement



The Credit Agreement, among Intermediate, Cygnus and TriLink, as the borrowers,
Topco LLC, as holdings, the lenders from time-to-time party thereto and Morgan
Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative and collateral agent (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement"), provides
us with a term-loan facility (the "Term Loan") totaling $600.0 million and a
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of $180.0 million
for letters of credit and loans to be used for working capital and other general
corporate financing purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are
unconditionally guaranteed by Topco LLC, along with the existing and future
material domestic subsidiaries of Topco LLC (subject to certain exceptions) as
specified in the respective guaranty agreements, and are secured by a lien and
security interest in substantially all of the assets of existing and future
material domestic subsidiaries of Topco LLC that are loan parties.

In January 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the
Credit Agreement to: (i) refinance the existing $544.0 million aggregate
principal balance on the First Lien Term Loan and replace it with a new Tranche
B Term Loan ("Tranche B Term Loan"), (ii) replace the LIBOR-based interest rate
with a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") based rate, and (iii)
reduce the interest rate margins applicable to the Term Loan and Revolving
Credit Facilities under the Credit Agreement. The previous interest rate margin
on the facilities was, with respect to each LIBOR-based loan, 3.75% to 4.25%
and, with respect to each base rate-based loan, 2.75% to 3.25% (depending, in
each case, on consolidated first lien leverage). Following the Amendment, the
interest rate margin on the facilities is 3.00%, with respect to each Term
SOFR-based loan, and 2.00%, with respect to each base rate-based loan. Further,
the Amendment reduced the base rate floor for the term loans from 2.00% to
1.50%, sets the floor for Term SOFR-based term loans at 0.50% and sets the floor
for Term SOFR-based revolving loans at 0.00%. No other significant terms under
the Credit Agreement were changed in connection with the Amendment.

The Base Rate is defined in the Credit Agreement as the greatest of (i) the rate
last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the "Prime Rate" in the United States,
(ii) the NYFRB Rate plus 0.50% per annum, (iii) the Term SOFR Rate for a one
month interest period plus 1.00% per annum, (iv) solely with respect to the
Tranche B term loans, 1.50% per annum and (v) for any loans that are not Tranche
B term loans, 1.00% per annum. The "Term SOFR Rate," as defined in the Credit
Agreement, means with respect to any Term SOFR Rate Borrowing and for any other
tenor comparable to the applicable interest period, the Term SOFR Reference Rate
at approximately 5:00 a.m., Chicago time, two U.S. Government Securities
Business Days prior to the commencement of such tenor comparable to the
applicable interest period, as such rate is published by the CME Term SOFR
Administrator; provided that in no event shall the Term SOFR Rate for any
interest period (i) for Term B Loans be less than 0.50% or (ii) for any other
Loans, be less than 0.00%.

The Tranche B Term Loan became repayable in quarterly payments of $1.4 million
beginning in March 2022, with all remaining outstanding principal due in
October 2027. The Tranche B Term Loan includes prepayment provisions that allow
us, at our option, to repay all or a portion of the principal amount at any
time. The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to repay and borrow from time to
time until October 2025, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid.
Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we are required to repay
borrowings under the Tranche B Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility with the
proceeds of certain occurrences, such as the incurrence of debt, certain equity
contributions and certain asset sales or dispositions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



Commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and each fiscal year
thereafter, the Credit Agreement requires that we make mandatory prepayments on
the Term Loan principal out of certain excess cash flow, subject to certain
step-downs based on the Company's first lien net leverage ratio. The mandatory
prepayment shall be reduced to 25% or 0% of the calculated excess cash flow if
the first lien net leverage ratio was equal to or less than 4.75:1.00 or
4.25:1.00, respectively; however, no prepayment is required to the extent excess
cash flow calculated for the respective period is equal to or less than
$10.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, our first lien net leverage ratio was less
than 4.25:1.00, thus a prepayment was not required.

Accrued interest under the Credit Agreement is payable by us (a) quarterly in
arrears with respect to Base Rate loans, (b) at the end of each interest rate
period (or at each three-month interval in the case of loans with interest
periods greater than three months) with respect to Term SOFR Rate loans, (c) on
the date of any repayment or prepayment and (d) at maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise). An annual commitment fee is applied to the daily
unutilized amount under the Revolving Credit Facility at 0.375% per annum, with
one stepdown to 0.25% per annum based on Intermediate's first lien net leverage
ratio.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants. One financial covenant is a
consolidated first lien coverage ratio measured as of the last day of each
fiscal quarter. Another requires that, if as of the end of any fiscal quarter
the aggregate amount of letters of credit obligations and borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility outstanding as of the end of such fiscal quarter
(excluding cash collateralized letters of credit obligations and letter of
credit obligations in an aggregate amount not in excess of $5.0 million at any
time outstanding and for the first four fiscal quarters ending after October
2020, borrowings of revolving credit loans made before October 2020) exceeds 35%
of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Commitments in effect as of such
date, then the net leverage ratio of Intermediate may not be greater than 8.00
to 1.00. For purposes of this covenant, the net leverage ratio is calculated by
dividing outstanding first lien indebtedness (net of cash) by Adjusted EBITDA
over the preceding four fiscal quarters. As of June 30, 2022, we were in
compliance with these covenants.

The Credit Agreement also contains negative and affirmative covenants in
addition to the financial covenant, including covenants that restrict our
ability to, among other things, incur or prepay certain indebtedness, pay
dividends or distributions, dispose of assets, engage in mergers and
consolidations, make acquisitions or other investments, and make changes in the
nature of the business. The Credit Agreement contains certain events of default,
including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest or other
obligations, violation of the covenants, insolvency, court ordered judgments and
certain changes of control. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to
provide audited consolidated financial statements to the lenders no later than
120 days after year-end.

As of June 30, 2022, interest rate on the Tranche B Term Loan was 3.85%.

Tax Receivable Agreement



We are a party to the TRA with MLSH 1 and MLSH 2. The TRA provides for the
payment by us to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2, collectively, of 85% of the amount of
certain tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize, or in some circumstances
are deemed to realize, as a result of the Organizational Transactions, IPO and
any subsequent purchases or exchanges of LLC Units of Topco LLC. Based on our
current projections of taxable income, and before deduction of any specially
allocated depreciation and amortization, we anticipate having enough taxable
income to utilize most of these tax benefits.

As of June 30, 2022, our liability under the TRA was $746.0 million,
representing 85% of the calculated tax savings we anticipated being able to
utilize in future years. We may record additional liabilities under the TRA when
LLC Units are exchanged in the future and as our estimates of the future
utilization of the Tax Attributes, NOLs and other tax benefits change. We expect
to make payments under the TRA, to the extent they are required, within 125 days
after the extended due date of our U.S. federal income tax return for such
taxable year. Interest on such payment will begin to accrue from the due date
(without extensions) of such tax return at a rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis
points. Any late payments will continue to accrue interest at LIBOR plus 500
basis points until such payments are made.

The payment obligations under the TRA are obligations of Maravai LifeSciences
Holdings, Inc. and not of Topco LLC. Although the actual timing and amount of
any payments that may be made under the TRA will vary, we expect that the
aggregate payments that we will be required to make to MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 will be
substantial. Any payments made by us under the TRA will generally reduce the
amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to
Topco LLC and, to the extent that we are unable to make payments under the TRA
for any reason, the unpaid amounts will be deferred and will accrue interest
until paid by us. We anticipate funding ordinary course payments under the TRA
from cash flow from operations of Topco LLC and its subsidiaries, available cash
and/or available borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Operating Activities



Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022
was $326.6 million, which was primarily attributable to a net income of $303.6
million, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $15.5 million, non-cash
amortization of right-of-use assets of $2.6 million, non-cash amortization of
deferred financing costs of $1.4 million, non-cash stock-based compensation of
$7.9 million and non-cash decrease in deferred income taxes of $26.1 million.
These were partially offset by a non-cash gain on the change in estimated fair
value of contingent consideration of $7.8 million, non-cash gain on the
revaluation of liabilities under the TRA of $2.3 million and a net cash outflow
from the change in our operating assets and liabilities of $19.4 million, of
which $9.6 million was driven by an increase in prepaid lease payments for our
leased Flanders San Diego Facility and Leland Facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021
was $204.3 million, which was primarily attributable to a net income of $210.0
million, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $13.0 million, non-cash
amortization of right-of-use assets of $3.5 million, non-cash amortization of
deferred financing costs of $1.3 million, non-cash stock-based compensation of
$4.7 million and non-cash decrease in deferred income taxes of $18.2 million.
These were partially offset by a non-cash gain on the revaluation of liabilities
under the Tax Receivable Agreement of $5.9 million and a net cash outflow from
the change in our operating assets and liabilities of $40.4 million.

Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was
$243.2 million, which was primarily comprised of $238.8 million for the net cash
consideration paid for the acquisition of MyChem and net cash outflows of $4.4
million for property and equipment purchases.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was
$7.3 million, which was primarily attributable to net cash outflows of $7.9
million for property and equipment purchases, partially offset by cash receipts
of $0.5 million from the sale of our United Kingdom facility.

Financing Activities



Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was
$83.9 million, which was primarily attributable to $82.5 million of
distributions for tax liabilities to non-controlling interest holders, required
pursuant to the terms of the LLC Operating Agreement, and $11.2 million of
principal repayments of long-term debt. This was partially offset by proceeds
from borrowings of long-term debt of $8.5 million.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was
$58.2 million, which was primarily attributable to $56.2 million of
distributions for tax liabilities to non-controlling interest holders, required
pursuant to the terms of the LLC Operating Agreement, and $3.0 million of
principal repayments of long-term debt.

Capital Expenditures



Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $16.0
million. Capital expenditures, including costs incurred for lessor improvements,
for the year ending December 31, 2022 are projected to be in the range of $65.0
million to

(2)Represents long-term debt principal maturities, excluding interest. See Note
7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

(3)Reflects the estimated timing of TRA payments as of June 30, 2022. Such
payments could be due later than estimated depending on the timing of our use of
the underlying tax attributes. See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our liability under the TRA.

(4)Represents firm purchase commitments to our suppliers.



(5)Represents an additional amount we may be required to pay to the sellers of
MyChem subject to the completion of certain calculations associated with
acquired inventory. See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
additional information.

Tax distributions are required under the terms of the Topco LLC Agreement. See
Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I,
Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information
regarding tax distributions.

Commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and each fiscal year
thereafter, the Credit Agreement requires that we make mandatory prepayments of
the Term Loan principal upon certain excess cash flow, subject to certain
step-downs based on our first lien net leverage ratio. The mandatory prepayment
shall be reduced to 25% or 0% of the calculated excess cash flow if the first
lien net leverage ratio was equal to or less than 4.75:1.00 or 4.25:1.00,
respectively, however, no prepayment shall be required to the extent excess cash
flow calculated for the respective period is equal to or less than $10.0
million. As of June 30, 2022, our first lien net leverage ratio was less than
4.25:1.00.

In connection with our acquisition of MyChem, we may be required to make certain
payments to its sellers. We may be required to make additional payments of up to
$40.0 million to the sellers of MyChem dependent upon meeting or exceeding
defined revenue targets during fiscal 2022. We may also be required to make
certain payments of $20.0 million to them as of the second anniversary of the
closing of the acquisition date as long as the sellers of MyChem continue to be
employed by TriLink. We cannot, at this time, determine when or if the related
targets will be achieved or whether the events triggering the commencement of
payment obligations will occur. Therefore, such payments were not included in
the table above. See Notes 2 and 4 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
additional details.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our estimates are based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under
the
                                       53

circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions and any such difference may be material. For a
discussion of how these and other factors may affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect our more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated
financial statements presented in this report are described in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Except as noted below,
there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or
estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2021.

Recognition of Intangible Assets as Part of a Business Combination



We account for our business combinations using the acquisition method of
accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of
acquired businesses be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of
acquisition. The purchase price, which includes the fair value of consideration
transferred, is attributed to the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. The excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over
the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as
goodwill.

Determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired requires management to
use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation
methodologies, assumptions about future net cashflows, discount rates and market
participants. Each of these factors can significantly affect the value
attributed to the identifiable intangible asset acquired in a business
combination.

We generally utilize a discounted cash flow method under the income approach to
estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. For the acquisition of MyChem, LLC, the estimated fair value of the
developed technology intangible asset was based on the multi-period excess
earnings method. The estimated fair value was developed by discounting future
net cash flows to their present value at market-based rates of return. We
selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data,
supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated revenue
growth rates, management's plans, and guideline companies. Some of the more
significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair value of this intangible
asset included revenue growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 30.6%, technical
obsolescent curves ranging from 5.0% to 7.5%, and a discount rate of 16.5%.

The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the
estimated fair value and amounts allocated to identifiable intangible assets
acquired and future amortization expense as well as goodwill.
