    Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

    BOTHELL, Wash., Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioLife Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLFS) ("BioLife" or the "Company"), a leading developer and supplier of cell processing tools and services for the cell and gene therapy ("CGT") market, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and updated revenue guidance for 2024.

    BioLife Solutions New Logo 2021 (PRNewsfoto/BioLife Solutions, Inc.)

    "I'm pleased to report our fourth consecutive quarter of sequential Cell Processing revenue growth and expansion of adjusted gross and adjusted EBTIDA margins," said Roderick de Greef, BioLife Chairman and CEO. "With Q3 now in the books and with good visibility into Q4, we are increasing our projected 2024 Cell Processing revenues by $2 million above our previous guidance. Adjusting for the absence of revenue from the sale of our SciSafe biostorage business, this puts the total revenue for 2024 in the range of $98.0 to $100.0 million."

    de Greef continued, "The sale of our SciSafe biostorage business for $73 million in cash is a major step in our efforts to focus our energy and capital allocation toward our proprietary, high growth and high margin cell processing products. BioLife is now a pure play enabler of CGT's globally and with a fortified balance sheet, and a streamlined operational environment, we can better focus on our unique biopreservation market leadership position to drive revenue growth and profitability in 2025 and beyond."

    Third Quarter 2024 Business Highlights

    • Processed 16 new U.S. FDA Master File cross references for our biopreservation media, bringing the cumulative total processed to 744.
    • Based on two additional regulatory approvals in the third quarter, our biopreservation media is embedded in 17 unique commercial CGT's as of September 30, 2024, with an expectation that 6 additional product approvals, geographic expansions, or new indications will occur in the next 12 months.
    • On November 12, 2024, we completed the sale of SciSafe Holdings, Inc. ("SciSafe"), a previously wholly owned biostorage and services subsidiary, for $73.0 million in cash.

    2024 Revenue Guidance

    BioLife Solutions is revising its 2024 revenue guidance to $98.0 million to $100.0 million from prior guidance of $99.0 million to $101.0 million primarily to reflect the revenue impact of the divestiture of SciSafe on November 12, 2024. This guidance also reflects updated expectations for BioLife's Cell Processing product line and Biostorage and Services, which includes results from its ThawSTAR® product line and does not include revenue from the freezer product line (GCI and CBS) or SciSafe after November 12, 2024.

    • Cell Processing platform revenue: Increased to $72.0 million to $73.0 million from prior guidance of $70.0 million to $71.0 million. The revised guidance represents an increase of 9% to 11% compared with 2023. Compared with the annualized run rate for the second half of 2023, the revised guidance reflects growth of 28% to 30%.
    • Biostorage Services platform revenue: Revised to $26.0 million to $27.0 million from prior guidance of $29.0 million to $30.0 million. The revised guidance represents a decrease of 7% to 4% compared with 2023 due to the sale of SciSafe on November 12, 2024. This platform includes the ThawSTAR automated thawing product line. Excluding ThawSTAR, the growth rate is 1% to 4%.

    Management expects full year positive adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA growth in 2024.

    Cautions Regarding Forward Looking Statements

    Certain statements contained in this press release are not historical facts and may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "plans," "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "designed," and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking statements. A description of certain of these risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in filings we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available at www.sec.gov. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from results and events currently expected by us. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof or to reflect any change in its expectations with regard to these forward-looking statements or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

    Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

    To supplement our financial statements, which are presented on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance are included on a consolidated basis in this release: adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted net income/(loss), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP financial measures is included as an attachment to this press release.

    We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance. We use these financial measures internally to evaluate our operating performance and for planning and forecasting of future periods. We also believe it is in the best interests of investors to provide this non-GAAP information.

    While we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be reported by competitors, and they may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in calculation methodologies. The non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to GAAP information and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures. They should be used only as a supplement to GAAP information and should be considered only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
