enabling the future of medicine for a new era of life sciences, today announced financial results for the third quarter (Q3) and first
nine months (9M) of 2023.
Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport,
commented, "Our third quarter results were consistent with our expectations, reflecting current global economic and geopolitical
challenges. However, we are seeing solid and sustained demand from our key life sciences and cell and gene therapy customers despite the
current macroeconomic climate.
"We experienced a notable
increase in commercial cell and gene therapy revenue, growing 54% year-over-year, while bioservices revenue increased 26% year-over-year
for the third quarter. In the same period, Cryoport Systems' revenue grew 10%, on both a year-over-year and sequential basis. Clinical
trials that Cryoport supports also increased, adding a net 27 clinical trials year-over-year, bringing our global clinical trials supported
to a record total of 670.
"While demand for our cryogenic
systems provided by MVE Biological Solutions was, as expected, lower than in previous years, it is important to point out that we maintained
strong gross margins on our product revenue of 45% for the quarter, contributing free cash to support our strategic growth investments.
As the world's largest manufacturer of vacuum insulated products and cryogenic systems and a preferred brand for academic, government,
and life science companies, we expect solid performance from MVE Biological Solutions as our clients' capex spending normalizes.
the third quarter, we continued to execute on our corporate strategy to accelerate our long-term growth through meaningful partnerships.
This includes our collaboration with Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, the premier cell and gene therapy manufacturing innovation center
in Europe which will support our European expansion. We also entered into a strategic partnership with Be The Match BioTherapies ,
which manages the most diverse bone marrow registry in the world, and signed a multi-year supply chain solutions agreement with Monash
IVF, a leading provider of assisted reproductive services in Australia.
"Subsequent to quarter end,
we completed the acquisition of Tec4med Lifescience, a solutions company with cutting-edge technology for comprehensive monitoring solutions,
based in Darmstadt, Germany, that is expected to have applications across the Cryoport spectrum of
"These latest developments
and our leading market position as provider of technology-enabled, dependable, end-to-end supply chain solutions to the life sciences
add to our confidence that our long-term growth prospects are solid. We believe the combined power of our industry-leading brands, including
Cryoport Systems, MVE Biological Solutions, CRYOPDP, and CRYOGENE, coupled with the capital projects we have underway, position Cryoport
to capitalize on the continued growth of the life sciences and especially the cell and gene therapy industry, as more therapies make their
way towards commercialization over these ensuing years," concluded Mr. Shelton.
