Cryoport Reports Fourth Quarter
and Full Year 2024 Financial Results
NASHVILLE, Tennessee, March 4, 2025, -
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.

BioStorage/BioServices revenue
continues to grow double digits year-over-year, increasing 11% in FY 2024 as we continue to introduce our expanded capabilities to existing
customers, as well as add new customers into our global network, and as more allogeneic clinical and commercial therapies progress in
the number of patients treated.

approved Cell & Gene therapies grew to $25.9 million, up 20% year-over-year, for FY 2024 and increased to $7.9 million, up 37% year-over-year,
