Cord Blood Banking Leader Cryo-Cell Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Cord Blood Banking Leader Cryo-Cell Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

OLDSMAR, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (NYSE American LLC Symbol: CCEL) (the “Company”), the world’s first private cord blood bank to separate and store stem cells in 1992, announced results for the fiscal third quarter ended August 31, 2023.

Financial Results

Revenue

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $7.87 million compared to $7.68 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 consisted of $7.86 million in processing and storage fees, $3,000 in product revenue and $4,000 in public banking revenue compared to $7.52 million in processing and storage fees, $21,000 in product revenue and $138,000 in public banking revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net Income

The Company reported net income for the three months ended August 31, 2023 of $681,000, or $0.08 per basic share and diluted share, compared to net income of $467,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended August 31, 2022. During the three months ended August 31, 2023, revenue increased 2%, cost of sales decreased 8% and selling, general and administration expenses increased 6%. For the three months ended August 31, 2023, the Company recorded $344,000 in research, development and relating engineering (“R&D”) expenses versus $80,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2022. The increase in R&D expenses as of the three months ended August 31, 2023 versus the same period in 2022 is due to the Clinical Study and Research Agreement the Company entered into with Duke to provide funding to complete the Duke IMPACT Study (as previously disclosed) and the expenses related to the development of a manufacturing laboratory related to the Duke License Agreement. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate SWAP agreement to manage exposure to interest rate risk related to its variable debt obligation under its Term Note (as previously disclosed). For the three months ended August 31, 2023 the Company recorded a gain on the change in the fair value of the derivative of $283,000. The fair value is based on prevailing market data and derived from proprietary models based on well recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions.

Commentary

David Portnoy, Chairman of the Board and Co-CEO, commented, “We remain focused on driving forward the potential clinical use of cord blood and cord tissue cells to treat a variety of neurological indications, including cerebral palsy, autism, and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. We are currently funding the completion of a Phase 2 autism trial and expect to begin a Phase 3 CP trial in the first half of 2024. These clinical trials and the R&D investments associated with a commercial grade, stem cell laboratory are currently anticipated to be the major use of the Company’s cash flows over the next several years.”
