Description of Business

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Mesa Laboratories, Inc., a Colorado corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Mesa.”

We are a global leader in the design and manufacture of life sciences tools and critical quality control solutions for regulated applications in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical device industries. We offer products and services to help our customers ensure product integrity, increase patient and worker safety, and improve the quality of life throughout the world. We have manufacturing operations in the United States and Europe, and our products are marketed by our sales personnel in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, and by independent distributors throughout the world.

As of June 30, 2025, we managed our operations in four reportable segments, or divisions:

The division also provides testing and laboratory services, mainly to the dental and pharmaceutical industries.

Immunoassays and peptide synthesis solutions accelerate the discovery, development and manufacture of biotherapeutic therapies, among other applications.

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of our financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Mesa and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We made no material changes to the application of our significant accounting policies disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References in this report to a particular “year” or “quarter” refer to our fiscal year or fiscal quarters, respectively.

Risk and Uncertainties, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Risks and Uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressures, the overall effects of economic uncertainty, regulatory changes, and other factors. Changes in, and the resulting effects of, potential government trade, stimulus or fiscal and monetary policies, interest rates, foreign currency values, supply chains, demand for goods and services, global or regional recession, or other circumstances cannot be reliably predicted. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded that, other than as described below, they are either not applicable to us or are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have not adopted any new accounting standards in fiscal year 2026.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU No. 2023-09, which enhances the transparency, effectiveness and comparability of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information related to income tax rate reconciliations and the jurisdictions in which income taxes are paid. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (our fiscal year 2026), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. Other than presentation of additional disaggregated data in our income tax footnote disclosures for annual periods, we do not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." ASU No. 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 (our fiscal year 2028 for annual periods) and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 (our fiscal year 2029 for interim periods), with early adoption and prospective or retrospective application permitted. We are currently assessing the effect the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures, and we currently expect to increase the level of disclosed detail once adopted.
