ImmuCell Announces Unaudited Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2025

PORTLAND, Maine, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ImmuCell Corporation (Nasdaq: ICCC) ("ImmuCell" or the "Company"), an animal health company that develops, manufactures and markets products that improve cattle health and productivity, today announced its unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Management's Discussion:

"Today we are reporting 2025 net operating income of $1.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million compared to 2024. These results were largely driven by a significant improvement in gross margin, reflecting higher volumes, manufacturing efficiencies, and price realization," commented Timothy C. Fiori, Chief Financial Officer of ImmuCell. "Net loss for 2025 was $1.0 million, an improvement of $1.1 million compared to 2024. As previously discussed, we saw several non-recurring items in 2025 that affected our net loss, including a $2.7 million write-down of Re-Tain^® assets, $651,000 of colostrum inventory write-downs, and $297,000 of expenses related to CEO transition, partially offset by $427,000 of one-time income from insurance proceeds received."

"2025 was a successful year for ImmuCell," said Olivier te Boekhorst, President and CEO of ImmuCell. "As first announced on January 8, 2026, revenue in 2025 grew by 4.3% compared to 2024 as our commercial team stepped up customer outreach. Our manufacturing team contributed by increasing average monthly output from approximately 345,000 units per month in 2024 to 380,000 units per month in 2025. In December, the Company also announced a new strategy of focusing on our successful on-market First Defense^® franchise. Looking forward, we are expecting to see positive results from our investments in commercial expansion and continued manufacturing yield improvement efforts," continued Mr. te Boekhorst.

Certain Financial Results:

• 2025 product sales increased 4.3% to approximately $27.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
• 2025 gross profit improved to 41.4% of product sales during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 30% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

• Net working capital increased to approximately $13.0 million as of December 31, 2025 from $10.6 million as of December 31, 2024, due primarily to an increase in finished goods inventory.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: 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 included in or excluded from 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.

We believe that considering the non-GAAP measure of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) assists management and investors by looking at our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis excluding certain charges from our reported (loss) income before income taxes. We calculate EBITDA as described in the following table and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

EBITDA includes stock-based compensation expense (which is a non-cash expense that management adds back to EBITDA when assessing its cash flows) of approximately $296,000 and $326,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Cash payments to satisfy debt repayment obligations and to make capital expenditure investments are other uses of cash that are not included in the calculation of EBITDA, which management also considers when assessing its cash flows.
