Financial Results for
PORTLAND, Maine - November 13, 2018 - ImmuCell
Corporation (Nasdaq: ICCC) ("ImmuCell" or the "Company"), a growing animal health company that
develops, manufactures and markets scientifically-proven and practical products that improve the health and productivity of dairy
and beef cattle, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Management Discussion:
"We saw steady revenue gains in a down dairy economy
with our product sales being up 7% to $2.2 million and up 10% to $8 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2018, respectively, in comparison to the same periods during 2017," commented Michael F. Brigham, President
Third Quarter Sales Results:
Management Discussion (continued):
Mr. Brigham continued, "The market's response
to our newly introduced Tri-Shield First Defense has been very strong, which is a good indication that dairy
and beef producers value the ability to protect newborn calves with immediate immunity from the three most common scours-causing
pathogens - E. coli, coronavirus and rotavirus - in one preventative treatment at birth. Additionally, in the
short time that the product has been on the market, we have gained substantial traction with our Beyond Vaccination
message that positions the product as a viable substitute for traditional dam-level scours vaccine programs. We expect to have
approximately $500,000 worth of product available for sale during the fourth quarter, as we ramp up our production rate."
Additional Third Quarter
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company initiated production
of the registration batches required for the first phased submission of the Nisin Drug Substance CMC Technical Section for its
Nisin-based intramammary treatment for subclinical mastitis without a milk discard, which is anticipated to be submitted to the
FDA before year end. A second phased submission, which would include responses to the first phased review and the Drug Product
data, is expected to be filed in the middle of 2019. This timeline supports obtaining FDA approval during late 2019 or the first
Management Discussion (continued):
Mr. Brigham added, "Results for the quarter and year-to-date
were impacted by the increased spend in support of our continued development of Tri-Shield First Defense and
our purified Nisin product. We are pleased with the progress being made and look forward to the contributions from these new products
in the years to come."
Selected Balance Sheet
Data as of September 30, 2018:
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure
of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally
excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures
included in this press release, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable
measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe the non-GAAP net (loss) income before income taxes and before certain non-cash
expenses assists management and investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding
these non-cash charges that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance from our net (loss) income before
income taxes. We define non-GAAP net (loss) income before income taxes and before certain non-cash expenses by adding certain non-cash
expenses to our net (loss) income before income taxes, as indicated in the table below:
For the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, For the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30,
(In thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017
Net (loss) income before income taxes ($ 256 ) ($ 532 ) ($ 822 ) $ 55
