Commercial Cell & Gene Therapy revenue rose to $26 million in FY 2024, up 20% year-over-year
Supporting a record total of 701 global clinical trials as of December 31, 2024

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYRX) (Cryoport), a global leader in supply chain solutions for the life sciences industry, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter (Q4) and year ended (FY) December 31, 2024.

Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport, commented, "Cryoport ended 2024 with solid results across the company including total full year revenue of $228.4 million, which was in-line with our expectations. We continued to see considerable revenue growth from our support of commercial Cell & Gene therapies where revenue rose 37% for the fourth quarter and 20% for the full year compared to the prior year periods.

"Our Life Sciences Services business continued its expansion, partially attributed to the double-digit year-over-year growth in BioStorage/BioServices revenue for both the fourth quarter and full year periods. In the fourth quarter our Life Sciences Products business began to show signs of market demand stability and continued to provide positive free cash flow.

"As previously reported, during 2024, we implemented cost reduction and capital realignment strategies, making significant progress in improving our cost structure. Notably, our gross margin improved to 45.8% in Q4 2024, up from 40.6% in the same period last year. We remain confident that our actions will lead us to a return to positive adjusted EBITDA during 2025 as we further implement our pathway to profitability.

"We believe that as we enter 2025, we are prepared to capitalize on the anticipated growth in the Cell & Gene Therapy market. We intend to grow our leading market position and open additional revenue streams that have been under development through new services and product introductions. We will supplement this through potential strategic collaborations and partnerships. We are excited about our prospects for this year, and we believe we have all the necessary tools in place to execute on our growth plans and to reach our long-term objective of sustainable profitability," concluded Mr. Shelton.

In tabular form, Q4 2024 and FY 2024 revenue compared to Q4 2023 and FY 2023, respectively, was as follows:

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are included in this release: revenue at constant currency, revenue growth rate at constant currency, and adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures, including revenue at constant currency, revenue growth rate at constant currency and adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that revenue growth is a key indicator of how Cryoport is progressing from period to period, and we believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, revenue at constant currency and revenue growth rate at constant currency, are useful to investors in analyzing the underlying trends in revenue. Under GAAP, revenue received in local (non-U.S. dollar) currency is translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period presented. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the results of our operations and the value of our foreign assets and liabilities, which in turn may adversely affect results of operations and cash flows and the comparability of period-to-period results of operations. When we use the term "constant currency," it means that we have translated local currency revenue for the current reporting period into U.S. dollars using the same average foreign currency exchange rates for the conversion of revenue into U.S. dollars that we used to translate local currency revenue for the comparable reporting period of the prior year. Revenue growth rate at constant currency refers to the measure of comparing the current reporting period revenue at constant currency with the reported GAAP revenue for the comparable reporting period of the prior year.

However, we also believe that data on constant currency period-over-period changes have limitations, particularly as the currency effects that are eliminated could constitute a significant element of our revenue and could significantly impact our performance. We therefore limit our use of constant currency period-over-period changes to a measure for the impact of currency fluctuations on the translation of local currency revenue into U.S. dollars. We do not evaluate our results and performance without considering both period-over-period changes in non-GAAP constant currency revenue on the one hand and changes in revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP on the other. We caution the readers of this press release to follow a similar approach by considering revenue on constant currency period-over-period changes only in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, changes in revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, cost reduction initiatives, investment income, unrealized (gain)/loss on investments, foreign currency (gain)/loss, gain on insurance claim, net gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment loss, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events, as applicable.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of Cryoport's operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into Cryoport's ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Company's board of directors utilize adjusted EBITDA to gain a better understanding of Cryoport's comparative operating performance from period to period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is also a significant performance measure used by Cryoport in connection with its incentive compensation programs. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, when read in conjunction with Cryoport's GAAP financials, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for meaningful period-to-period comparisons of Cryoport's ongoing operating results, including results of operations, against investor and analyst financial models, helps identify trends in Cryoport's underlying business and in performing related trend analyses, and it provides a better understanding of how management plans and measures Cryoport's underlying business.
