Inotiv, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Fiscal
2021 Financial Results
IN, May 5, 2021 - Inotiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOTV) (the "Company", "We", "Our" or "Inotiv"),
a leading contract research organization specializing in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services,
today announced financial results for the three months ("Q2 FY 2021") and six months ("H1 FY 2021") ended March
Q2 FY 2021 Highlights
H1 FY 2021 Highlights
Significant Events during Q2 FY 2021
Robert Leasure, Jr., the Company's President and
Chief Executive Officer, commented, "To augment acquisitions and anticipated future revenue growth, this quarter we increased our
strategic investment in G&A, including in our people, capacity, infrastructure, systems and services. These growth initiatives, along
with higher unallocated corporate expenses for due diligence, legal support and integration planning related to our purchases of HistoTox
Labs and Bolder BioPATH in April, negatively impacted operating margin in the quarter. Our investments in additional service offerings,
combined with our increased backlog and expected contributions from the two recent acquisitions, position Inotiv for continued growth."
Mr. Leasure concluded, "The last few months
have once again been transformative for our Company. Capping off an 18-month rebranding initiative, we formally changed our corporate
name to Inotiv, Inc. in March, unifying our organization under a client-service oriented culture. We continued to attract and hire best-in-class
talent to our team. And we successfully completed an equity capital raise and debt financing that enabled us to complete two complementary
acquisitions as well as the means to pursue internal expansion initiatives, all of which we believe will drive significant long-term value
for our customers and shareholders. In HistoTox and Bolder BioPATH, we bring two growing organizations with predominantly emerging biopharma
clients into our fold, providing excellent cross selling opportunities. We look forward to enhancing the experience of our combined client
base through a more comprehensive suite of services across the entire drug discovery and preclinical development continuum."
