FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celularity Inc. (NASDAQ:CELU) ("Celularity") a regenerative and cellular medicine company, today announced that it has increased expected net sales guidance for the full year 2024 to $54 million to $60 million, up from $50 million to $56 million previously announced in February. The increased guidance is based on higher expected net sales through October of its advanced biomaterial products. Expected net sales for full year 2024 consist of $49 million to $54.5 million sales of advanced biomaterial products and $5.0 million to $5.5 million net sales of biobanking services. For the full year 2024, Celularity now expects net sales of its advanced biomaterial products to grow by 180% to 212% over the prior year.

October expected net sales were $8.3 million to $8.9 million, marking Celularity's highest-ever single-month expected net sales. For the ten months ending October 31, 2024, expected net sales were $44.4 million, consisting of advanced biomaterial product sales of $40.2 million and biobanking sales of $4.2 million, and includes approximately $9 million in expected net sales of Celularity's new Rebound™ product. Rebound adds to Celularity's portfolio of placental-derived advanced biomaterial products, sales of which through the first half of 2024 exceeded $24 million, which is greater than Celularity's full-year sales in 2023.

"We had very strong second and third quarter performances, and based on such performance we have increased the full year 2024 expected net sales guidance we previously announced in February," said Dr. Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., Founder, Chairman, and CEO. "Sales are strong for our new Rebound product, which we believe will strengthen our revenue outlook for the next several quarters. We continue to advance development of next generation advanced biomaterial products while exploring all opportunities in the rapidly evolving landscape of cellular and regenerative medicine. We believe Celularity can leverage our unique business model, world-class technical infrastructure and intellectual property, and growing commercial traction as we enter 2025 and beyond."

Celularity also announced that it filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter 2024 on November 6, 2024. As previously announced, Celularity received a determination notification from Nasdaq on October 16, 2024 indicating non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule) due to the delayed filing of Celularity's quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024 (collectively, the "Forms 10-Q"). Celularity has now filed the Forms 10-Q in compliance with the Rule.

Dr. Hariri added, "With the completion of our Forms 10-Q for the first and second quarter, we reaffirm our commitment to regaining and maintaining compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. To further strengthen our reporting processes, we have implemented several key improvements to help mitigate delays in the future. These enhancements include engaging additional technical accounting resources, upgrading our internal review protocols, and collaborating closely with our external auditors to ensure timely and accurate financial disclosures."
