ImmuCell Announces Unaudited Financial Results
the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2020
PORTLAND, Maine - August 12, 2020 - ImmuCell
Corporation (Nasdaq: ICCC) ("ImmuCell" or the "Company"), a growing animal health company that

and beef calves, today announced unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Management's Discussion:
"The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we operate, but
our dedicated team has been flexible and creative pushing First Defense production during these extremely
difficult times and challenging work conditions," commented Michael F. Brigham, President and CEO. "We reduced the
backlog of orders to approximately $945,000 as of June 30, 2020 from approximately $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020. The investment
to increase our First Defense production capacity remains on budget and close to on-time completion, despite
COVID-19 related challenges."
"As indicated by the continued top line growth, our sales
team has been able to pivot to stay safe and be successful despite COVID-19's impact on how we work," added Mr. Brigham.
"Our first production priority is Tri-Shield First Defense because our growth is being driven by this
product format, which provides antibodies without vaccination so every calf receives a measured dose of Immediate Immunity
against all three of the primary scour-causing pathogens, E. coli, coronavirus, and rotavirus. However, as we emphasize
production of Tri-Shield , which has a lower gross margin percentage of sales, and as we increase colostrum
collection from new cows that have not been immunized previously with our proprietary vaccines, our gross margin percentage tends
to decline. We expect that to improve over time."
"Most of our product development expenses were related to
the Re-Tain product development and commercial scale-up initiative," concluded Mr. Brigham. "We are proceeding
on plan to make our second-phased submission of the CMC Technical Section during the fourth quarter of this year, which will be
subject to a six-month review by the FDA."

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 should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable
measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reader should review our Statements of Cash Flows for a detailed understanding of our
sources and uses of cash. We start with our reported loss before income taxes because presently we are not paying cash for income
taxes and do not anticipate paying cash for income taxes in the near-term future. We believe that considering the non-GAAP loss
before income taxes and before certain non-cash expenses assists management and investors by looking at our performance across
reporting periods on a consistent basis excluding these certain charges that are not uses of cash from our reported loss before
income taxes. We calculate non-GAAP (loss) income before income taxes and certain non-cash expenses as indicated in the table below:
During the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, During the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30,
(In thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019
Loss before income taxes $ (766 ) $ (612 ) $ (903 ) $ (458 )
Depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation 631 644 1,367 1,299
(Loss) income before income taxes and certain non-cash expenses $ (135 ) $ 32 $ 464 $ 841
The figures we have calculated and reported above do not include
cash used to repay bank debt in the amounts of $142,000 and $215,000 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, and $344,000 (exclusive of the $8.3 million used to repay our refinanced bank debt) and $429,000 during the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The figures calculated above differ from the calculation of Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) in two significant ways. First, we have not added back interest expense
because we do pay cash for interest. Interest expense was $77,000 and $112,000 during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, and $424,000 and $226,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six-month
period ended June 30, 2020, interest expense included payments of $165,000 to terminate our interest rate swap agreements and $95,000
to write-off debt issuance costs, both made in connection with the refinancing of our bank debt during the first quarter of 2020.
Second, we have added back stock-based compensation expense because this is a non-cash expense, but it is not added back to the
calculation of EBITDA. EBITDA was ($114,000) and $74,000 during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $754,000
and $914,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
