Cryoport Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial
NASHVILLE, Tennessee, May 7,
2025, - Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) (Cryoport), a global provider of temperature-controlled supply chain solutions
for the life sciences sector, today announced financial results for the first quarter (Q1) ended March 31, 2025.
Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport, commented,
"We delivered a strong start to the year with $41.0 million of revenue from continuing operations,
which represented 10% year-over-year growth and drove meaningful improvement in adjusted EBITDA. We believe order patterns are stabilizing
in our Life Sciences Products segment, while engagement levels increased significantly in
our Life Sciences Services segment, highlighting a new momentum in our business. Consequently,
we are optimistic in our outlook for the full year. Looking ahead, we continue to navigate through the current economic environment and,
at this point in time, anticipate minimal impact from tariffs as we believe related charges will be passed through if and when they occur.
"Revenue growth from our support
of commercial Cell & Gene therapies was up 33% year over year, while Life Sciences Services revenue, in total, increased 17%
year-over-year. Our momentum in the Life Sciences Services space, which accounted for 56% of our total revenue in the first quarter of
2025, continues to be driven by the increasing development and commercialization of Cell & Gene-based therapies, which we expect
will persist even in the current economic environment.
"We are also seeing further signs
of demand stabilization in our Life Sciences Products business as we continue to expand our product portfolio to capture new revenue streams
with innovative products such as the recently launched cryogenic storage system, MVE High-Efficiency 800C. The HE 800C, released in the
first quarter of 2025 by MVE, meets the needs of facilities that have limited space yet require high capacity and security.
"Another key milestone this quarter
was the announcement of our strategic partnership with the DHL Group, which includes DHL's anticipated acquisition of CRYOPDP, expected
to close in the second or third quarter of this year. We believe this arrangement will enhance our operational reach, especially in the
APAC and EMEA regions, and reshape our competitive profile within the industry by leveraging the global scale and capabilities of our
strategic partner. The disposition of CRYOPDP is in response to the evolution of our industry and the ecosystem that is supporting it.
The disposition will also provide us with a strong infusion of capital, represented by a substantial return on investment. Strategically,
our partnership with DHL enables us to sharpen our organizational focus with the core of our services offerings directed towards the rapidly
growing regenerative medicine space.
"In summary, we made meaningful
progress in the first quarter, advancing revenue growth, operational efficiency, and entering into a strategic partnership with DHL. We
believe this positions us well to accelerate our growth and we remain focused on supporting the increasing number of commercial regenerative
medicine products and their rollouts around the world. In addition, we are also advancing other key initiatives such as our IntegriCell
Cryopreservation Solution, completing our Global Supply Chain Centers, and introducing new innovative products to better serve our clients
and diversifying our revenue streams. We remain confident these actions and our momentum will lead us to a return to positive adjusted
EBITDA during 2025," concluded Mr. Shelton.
In tabular form, Q1 2025 revenue from
continuing operations compared to Q1 2024 was as follows:
