      Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $(1.1) million; and 
 
   -- Annual revenue of $259.2 million, Net loss of $(259.6) million, and 
      Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $35.9 million. 

Corporate Updates:

   -- Appointed healthcare industry veteran R. Andrew Eckert as independent 
      Chairman of the Board; and 
 
   -- Voluntarily prepaid $228 million of the Company's Term Loan using cash on 
      hand. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 was $322 million 
      after this payment. 

Acquisitions and Partnerships:

   -- Completed the acquisition of the DNA and RNA business of Officinae Bio, 
      combining its proprietary AI-enabled mRNA design platforms with TriLink 
      BioTechnologies leading DNA and RNA manufacturing capabilities, which is 
      expected to provide customers comprehensive expertise and novel 
      technologies for quick, calculated progression through the 
      sequence-optimization phase and into clinical testing and commercial 
      manufacturing; 
 
   -- Acquired assets and intellectual property from Molecular Assemblies, with 
      plans to expand TriLink BioTechnologies' ability to enable customers to 
      develop next-generation mRNA and CRISPR nucleic acid-based therapies; 
 
   -- TriLink BioTechnologies and Aldevron entered into a Non-exclusive License 
      and Supply Agreement for CleanCap$(R)$ M6, CleanCap(R) AG 3'OMe, 
      CleanCap(R) AG, and CleanCap(R) AU cap analogs for use in Aldevron's mRNA 
      development and manufacturing services; and 
 
   -- TriLink BioTechnologies partnered with VWR, the distributor channel of 
      Avantor, to expand availability of our innovative nucleic acid products 
      to customers across Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). This 
      distribution partnership is expected to improve the ordering process and 
      offer shorter lead times for European customers -- increasing access to 
      TriLink's novel nucleic acid technologies. 

"Our fourth-quarter revenue landed near the midpoint of our guidance range, with the BST segment outperforming and NAP coming in slightly lower," said Trey Martin, CEO, Maravai LifeSciences. "Reflecting on 2024, it was both a challenging and pivotal year for our organization. Revenue did not meet our original expectations set in early 2024 as the macro-economic landscape and shifting customer spending priorities added complexity. The completion of our multi-year facilities expansion, combined with the launch of innovative new products and strategic tuck-in acquisitions, has strengthened our foundation for future growth of our base business. As we move forward, our organization is laser-focused on executing our return-to-growth strategy through our differentiated technologies and our ability to support customers from discovery through commercialization."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $56.6 million, representing a 23.7% decrease over the same period in the prior year and was driven by the following:

   -- Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $41.9 million for the fourth quarter, 
      representing a 28.8% decrease year-over-year. The revenue decrease was 
      primarily from large GMP orders in 2023 not recurring in 2024, and lower 
      demand for research and discovery products. 
 
   -- Biologics Safety Testing revenue was $14.7 million for the fourth quarter, 
      representing a 4.3% decrease year-over-year, primarily due to lower 
      demand in the bioprocessing market. 

Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were $(46.1) million and $(1.1) million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $(110.0) million and $20.5 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Full Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $259.2 million, representing a 10.3% decrease over the prior year and was driven by the following:

   -- Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $196.3 million for the year ended 
      December 31, 2024, representing a 12.6% decrease year-over-year. The 
      revenue decrease was primarily driven by lower demand for research and 
      discovery products. 
 
   -- Biologics Safety Testing revenue was $62.8 million for the year ended 
      December 31, 2024, representing a 2.1% decrease year-over-year, primarily 
      due to lower demand in the bioprocessing market, particularly in China.

Explanatory Notes to Reconciliations

 
(1)   Refers to the change in estimated fair value of contingent 
       consideration related to completed acquisitions. 
 
(2)   Refers to incremental costs incurred to execute and 
       integrate completed acquisitions, including retention 
       payments related to integration that were negotiated 
       specifically at the time of the Company's acquisition 
       of MyChem, LLC ("MyChem") and Alphazyme, LLC ("Alphazyme"), 
       which were completed in January 2022 and January 2023, 
       respectively. These retention payments arise from 
       the Company's agreements executed in connection with 
       the acquisitions of MyChem and Alphazyme and provide 
       incremental financial incentives, over and above recurring 
       compensation, to ensure the employees of these companies 
       remain present and participate in integration of the 
       acquired businesses during the integration and knowledge 
       transfer periods. The Company agreed to pay certain 
       employees of Alphazyme retention payments totaling 
       $9.3 million as of various dates but primarily through 
       December 31, 2025, as long as these individuals continue 
       to be employed by the Company. The Company agreed 
       to pay the sellers of MyChem retention payments totaling 
       $20.0 million as of the second anniversary of the 
       closing of the acquisition date as long as two senior 
       employees (who were also the sellers of MyChem) continue 
       to be employed by TriLink. The Company considers the 
       payment of these retention payments as probable and 
       is recognizing compensation expense related to these 
       payments in the post-acquisition period ratably over 
       the service period. Retention payment expenses were 
       $0.8 million (Alphazyme $0.8 million) and $5.2 million 
       (MyChem $1.8 million; Alphazyme $3.4 million) for 
       the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, 
       respectively. Retention payment expenses were $3.3 
       million (MyChem $2.6 million; Alphazyme $0.7 million) 
       and $11.9 million (MyChem $9.3 million; Alphazyme 
       $2.6 million) for the three months and year ended 
       December 31, 2023, respectively. Retention expenses 
       for MyChem concluded in the first quarter of 2024, 
       and following the payments in the first quarter of 
       2024, there are no further retention expenses payable 
       for MyChem. The remaining retention accrual for Alphazyme 
       is $3.4 million, expected to be accrued ratably each 
       quarter through December 31, 2025, with payments expected 
       to be made in the first quarter of 2026. There are 
       no further cash-based retention payments planned, 
       other than those disclosed above, for acquisitions 
       completed as of December 31, 2024. 
 
(3)   Refers to non-cash expense associated with stock-based 
       compensation. 
 
(4)   Refers to diligence, legal, accounting, tax and consulting 
       fees incurred associated with acquisitions that were 
       pursued but not consummated. 
 
(5)   Refers to the non-cash loss incurred on partial extinguishment 
       of debt primarily associated with the voluntary prepayment 
       on the Term Loan. 
 
(6)   Refers to non-cash (income) expense associated with 
       adjustments to the indemnification asset recorded 
       in connection with the acquisition of MyChem. 
 
(7)   For the year ended December 31, 2024, refers to the 
       adjustment of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability 
       primarily due to changes in Maravai's estimated state 
       apportionment and the corresponding change of its 
       estimated state tax rate. For the year ended December 
       31, 2023, refers to the adjustment of our Tax Receivable 
       Agreement liability primarily due to remeasuring the 
       non-current portion of the liability to zero as we 
       no longer consider payments under the agreement to 
       be probable. 
 
(8)   Refers to the goodwill impairment recorded for our 
       Nucleic Acid Production segment. 
 
(9)   Refers to restructuring costs (benefit) associated 
       with the Cost Realignment Plan, which was implemented 
       in November 2023. For the year ended December 31, 
       2024, stock-based compensation benefit of $1.2 million 
       related to forfeited stock awards in connection with 
       the restructuring is included in the stock-based compensation 
       line item. For the three months ended December 31, 
       2024, such amount was immaterial. For the three months 
       ended and year ended December 31, 2023, stock-based 
       compensation benefit of $0.1 million related to forfeited 
       stock awards in connection with the restructuring 
       is included in the stock-based compensation line item. 
 
(10)  For the year ended December 31, 2024, refers to the 
       loss on abandoned projects, severance payments, inventory 
       step-up charges and certain other adjustments in connection 
       with the acquisition of Alphazyme, and other non-recurring 
       costs. For the year ended December 31, 2023, refers 
       to severance payments, legal settlement amounts, inventory 
       step-up charges in connection with the acquisition 
       of Alphazyme, LLC, certain working capital and other 
       adjustments related to the acquisition of MyChem, 
       and other non-recurring costs. 
 
(11)  Represents additional corporate income taxes at an 
       assumed effective tax rate of approximately 24% applied 
       to additional net loss attributable to Maravai LifeSciences 
       Holdings, Inc. from the assumed proforma exchange 
       of all outstanding shares of Class B common stock 
       for shares of Class A common stock. 
 
(12)  Represents income tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments 
       at an assumed effective tax rate of approximately 
       24% and the assumed proforma exchange of all outstanding 
       shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class 
       A common stock. 
 
(13)  Represents income tax benefits due to the amortization 
       of intangible assets and other tax attributes resulting 
       from the tax basis step up associated with the purchase 
       or exchange of Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC units and 
       Class B common stock, net of payment obligations under 
       the Tax Receivable Agreement. 
 
 

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted fully diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS).

Maravai defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjustments to exclude, as applicable: (i) fair value adjustments to acquisition contingent consideration; (ii) incremental costs incurred to execute and integrate completed acquisitions, and associated retention payments; (iii) non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation; (iv) expenses incurred for acquisitions that were pursued but not consummated (including legal, accounting and professional consulting services); (v) non-cash expense associated with adjustments to the carrying value of the indemnification asset recorded in connection with completed acquisitions; (vi) loss (income) recognized during the applicable period due to changes in the tax receivable agreement liability; (vii) impairment charges; (viii) restructuring costs; (ix) loss on abandoned projects; (x) severance payments; (xi) legal settlement amounts; and (xii) inventory step-up charges in connection with completed acquisitions. Maravai defines Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as tax-effected earnings before the adjustments described above, and the tax effects of those adjustments. Maravai defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period, which assumes the proforma exchange of all outstanding units of Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC (paired with shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock.

These non-GAAP measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net (loss) income, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to understand and evaluate Maravai's core operating performance and trends and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. Management believes the measures facilitate comparison of Maravai's operating performance on a consistent basis between periods and, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, help provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting Maravai's results of operations.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of Maravai's results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, they should not be considered as a replacement for net (loss) income, as determined by GAAP, or as a measure of Maravai's profitability. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on Maravai's GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release contains, and Maravai's officers and representatives may from time-to-time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that statements in this press release which are not strictly historical statements constitute forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding Maravai's financial guidance for 2025; the expected benefits of recent acquisitions and the relationship with VWR; and expectations for market stabilization, constitute forward-looking statements and are identified by words like "believe," "expect," "see," "project," "may," "will," "should," "seek," "anticipate," or "could" and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of Maravai's business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of management's control. Maravai's actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause Maravai's actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

   -- The level of our customers' spending on and demand for outsourced nucleic 
      acid production and biologics safety testing products and services. 
 
   -- Our operating results are prone to significant fluctuation, which may 
      make our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause 
      our actual operating results to fall below expectations or any guidance 
      we may provide. 
 
   -- Uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of our revenue associated 
      with high-volume sales of CleanCap(R) for commercial phase vaccine 
      programs and the dependency of such revenue, in important respects, on 
      factors outside our control. 
 
   -- Shifts in the trade, economic and other policies and priorities of the 
      U.S. federal government on our and our customers' current and future 
      business operations. 
 
   -- Our ability to attract, retain and motivate a highly skilled workforce. 
 
   -- Use of our products by customers in the production of vaccines and 
      therapies, some of which represent relatively new and still-developing 
      modes of treatment, and the impact of unforeseen adverse events, negative 
      clinical outcomes, development of alternative therapies, or increased 
      regulatory scrutiny of these modes of treatment and their financial cost 
      on our customers' use of our products and services. 
 
   -- Competition with life science, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies 
      who are substantially larger than us and potentially capable of 
      developing new approaches that could make our products, services and 
      technology obsolete. 
 
   -- The potential failure of our products and services to not perform as 
      expected and the reliability of the technology on which our products and 
      services are based. 
 
   -- The risk that our products do not comply with required quality standards. 
 
   -- Market acceptance of our life science reagents. 
 
   -- Our ability to efficiently manage our strategic acquisitions and organic 
      growth opportunities. 
 
   -- Natural disasters, geopolitical instability (including the ongoing 
      military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East) and other catastrophic 
      events. 
 
   -- Risks related to our acquisitions, including whether we achieve the 
      anticipated benefits of acquisitions of businesses or technologies. 
 
   -- Product liability lawsuits. 
 
   -- Our dependency on a limited number of customers for a high percentage of 
      our revenue and our ability to maintain our current relationships with 
      such customers. 
 
   -- Our reliance on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole 
      suppliers, for some of our raw materials and the risk that we may not be 
      able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative 
      suppliers. 
 
   -- The risk that our products become subject to more onerous regulation by 
      the FDA or other regulatory agencies in the future. 
 
   -- Our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce sufficient intellectual 
      property protection for our current or future products. 
 
   -- The risk that a future cyber-attack or security breach cannot be 
      prevented. 
 
   -- Our ability to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary 
      information. 
 
   -- The risk that one of our products may be alleged (or found) to infringe 
      on the intellectual property rights of third parties. 
 
   -- Compliance with our obligations under intellectual property license 
      agreements. 
 
   -- Our or our licensors' failure to maintain the patents or patent 
      applications in-licensed from a third party. 
 
   -- Our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property and 
      proprietary rights throughout the world. 
 
   -- Our existing level of indebtedness and our ability to raise additional 
      capital on favorable terms. 
 
   -- Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service all of our 
      indebtedness. 
 
   -- Our potential failure to meet our debt service obligations. 
 
   -- Restrictions on our current and future operations under the terms 
      applicable to our credit agreement. 
 
   -- Our dependence, by virtue of our principal asset being our interest in 
      Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC ("Topco LLC"), on distributions from Topco 
      LLC to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under a tax 
      receivable agreement with the former owners of Topco LLC (the "Tax 
      Receivable Agreement" or "TRA") together with various limitations and 
      restrictions that impact Topco LLC's ability to make such distributions. 
 
   -- The risk that conflicts of interest could arise between our shareholders 
      and Maravai Life Sciences Holdings, LLC ("MLSH 1"), the only other member 
      of Topco LLC, and impede business decisions that could benefit our 
      shareholders. 
 
   -- The substantial future cash payments we may be required to make under the 
      Tax Receivable Agreement to MLSH 1 and Maravai Life Sciences Holdings 2, 
      LLC ("MLSH 2"), an entity through which certain of our former owners hold 
      their interests in the Company and the negative effect of such payments. 
 
   -- The fact that our organizational structure, including the TRA, confers 
      certain benefits upon MLSH 1 and MLSH 2 that will not benefit our other 
      common shareholders to the same extent as they will benefit MLSH 1 and 
      MLSH 2. 
 
   -- Our ability to realize all or a portion of the tax benefits that are 
      expected to result from the tax attributes covered by the Tax Receivable 
      Agreement. 
 
   -- The possibility that we will receive distributions from Topco LLC 
      significantly in excess of our tax liabilities and obligations to make to 
      make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. 
 
   -- Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes 
      resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns. 
 
   -- Risks and uncertainty related to the restatement of our previously issued 
      quarterly financial statements. 
 
   -- Our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control 
      over financial reporting in a timely manner. 
 
   -- Our ability to design and maintain effective internal control over 
      financial reporting in the future. 
 
   -- The fact that investment entities affiliated with GTCR, LLC ("GTCR") 
      currently control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding 
      common stock and may have interests that conflict with ours or yours in 
      the future. 
 
   -- Risks related to our "controlled company" status within the meaning of 
      the corporate governance standards of NASDAQ. 
 
   -- The potential anti-takeover effects of certain provisions in our 
      corporate organizational documents. 
 
   -- Potential sales of a significant portion of our outstanding shares of 
      Class A common stock. 
 
   -- Potential preferred stock issuances and the anti-takeover impacts of any 
      such issuances. 
 
   -- Such other factors as discussed throughout the sections entitled "Risk 
      Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
      and Results of Operations" in Maravai's most recent Annual Report on Form
