Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and significant accounting policies
Business
BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“BioLife”, “us”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a life sciences company that develops, manufactures, and markets bioproduction products and services which are designed to improve quality and de-risk biologic manufacturing, distribution, and transportation in the cell and gene therapy ("CGT") industry. Our products include proprietary biopreservation media, automated thawing devices, and cloud-connected shipping containers. Our CryoStor® freeze media and HypoThermosol® hypothermic storage media are optimized to preserve cells in the regenerative medicine market. These novel biopreservation media products are serum-free and protein-free, fully defined, and are formulated to reduce preservation-induced cell damage and death. Our Sexton cell processing product line includes human platelet lysates (“hPL”) for cell expansion, reducing risk and improving downstream performance over fetal bovine serum, human serum, and other chemically defined media, CellSeal® cryogenic vials that are purpose-built rigid containers used in CGT that can be filled manually or with high throughput systems, CryoCase™ cryo-compatible transparent rigid containers designed for closed-system fill and retrieval, and automated cell processing machines that bring multiple processes traditionally performed by manual techniques under a higher level of control to protect therapies from loss or contamination. Our ThawSTAR® product line is composed of a family of automated thawing devices for frozen cell and gene therapies packaged in cryovials and cryobags. These products help administer temperature-sensitive biologic therapies to patients by standardizing the thawing process and reducing the risks of contamination and overheating, which are inherent with the use of traditional water baths. Our evo® shipping containers provide cloud-connected passive storage and transport containers for temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceuticals.
On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Global Cooling”), to GCI Holdings Company, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“GCI Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 17, 2024 (the “Global Cooling Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and GCI Holdings (the “Global Cooling Divestiture”). Upon the execution of the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Global Cooling business is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SciSafe Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Subzero Purchaser Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SciSafe Buyer”), SciSafe, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SciSafe Seller”), and SciSafe, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SciSafe”), for the sale by SciSafe Seller of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “SciSafe Shares”) of SciSafe to SciSafe Buyer. Upon the execution of the SciSafe Purchase Agreement, the SciSafe business is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “CBS Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Standex International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CBS Buyer”), and Arctic Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems, or “CBS”), for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “CBS Shares”) of CBS to CBS Buyer (the “CBS Divestiture”). Upon the execution of the CBS Purchase Agreement, the CBS business is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
On April 4, 2025, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “PanTHERA Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Casdin Partners Master Fund L.P. and each other person listed on Schedule A thereto (the “PanTHERA Sellers”), Alberta LTD., an Alberta corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PanTHERA Buyer Sub”), PanTHERA CryoSolutions Inc., an Alberta corporation (“PanTHERA”) and Dr. Jason Acker, solely in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PanTHERA from the Sellers (the “PanTHERA Transaction”). The acquisition of PanTHERA was considered a subsequent event to the financial results presented as of March 31, 2025. For additional information on the acquisition of PanTHERA see Note 19: Subsequent events.
The Company is presenting Global Cooling, SciSafe, and CBS within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) as discontinued operations for all periods presented within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Statements Of Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. All amounts, percentages, and disclosures for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. See Note 2: Discontinued operations within this Form 10-Q for further details regarding the divestitures described above.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s valuation of market-based stock awards, fair value of marketable debt securities, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, net realizable value of inventory, and provision for income taxes.
The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are unaudited, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for a full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 in accordance with U.S. GAAP, however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAVSU Technologies, Inc. (“SAVSU”) and Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Sexton”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is presenting Global Cooling, SciSafe, and CBS as discontinued operations for all periods presented within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Statements Of Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. All amounts, percentages, and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. See Note 2: Discontinued operations for additional details about the divestitures.
Foreign currency exchange
The Company's sales are primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, our sales are not generally impacted by foreign currency exchange rates. For any transactions denominated in a foreign currency, which were immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company remeasures foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the Other income line item.
Segment reporting
The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as one reportable segment and one reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. For additional information on the Company's segment considerations, see Note 17: Segment, customer, and geographic information.
Significant accounting policies
There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report.
Liquidity and capital resources
On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $107.6 million and $109.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively. Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
Risks and uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by cost pressure, volatility in global trade policies through significant increases in tariffs, the overall effects of economic uncertainty on customers' purchasing patterns, high interest rates, and other factors. It is not possible to accurately predict the future impact of such events and circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
For additional information, see caption “Risk Factors” identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures - Clarifying the Effective Date to clarify the effective date for non-calendar year-end entities. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Discontinued operations
In 2024, the Company, management, and our board of Directors (the "Board"), made the decision to sell Global Cooling and CBS (the "Freezer Business"), allowing the Company to optimize its product portfolio by focusing on its recurring higher margin revenue streams. Additionally, in November of 2024, the Company, management, and the Board determined the sale of SciSafe would further optimize the Company's product portfolio toward its proprietary high margin cell processing and other bioproduction products. Accordingly, the results of these businesses are reported in the “Loss from
discontinued operations” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These changes have been applied to all periods presented.
Divestiture of Global Cooling, Inc.
On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling to GCI Holdings pursuant to the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of Global Cooling and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the second quarter of 2024.
As a condition of the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, Global Cooling was required to have $7.0 million in cash on its balance sheet, of which, $6.7 million in cash was funded by the Company, and the Company was required to repay approximately $2.6 million of outstanding indebtedness of Global Cooling, and assume certain other liabilities of Global Cooling of $2.6 million. The Company recognized a loss on disposal of Global Cooling, calculated as follows:
| | | | | |
(In thousands) | |
Selling price: $1 | $ | - | |
Cash to Global Cooling funded by Company | (6,652) | |
Costs to sell Global Cooling(1) | (582) | |

Net loss on disposal | $ | (8,897) | |
(1) Represents the costs incurred in connection with the divestiture of Global Cooling, including fees to be paid to the broker, attorneys, and other external parties.
(2) As a closing condition, the Company assumed certain accounts payable and accrued expenses from Global Cooling, totaling $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
(3) As a closing condition, the Company repaid the balances of loans under Global Cooling as of the date of the Global Cooling Divestiture.
In connection with the Company’s entry into the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Company implemented a reduction in force (the “RIF”) related to the business of Global Cooling, which reduced the Company’s workforce by 47 employees (representing approximately 11% of its full-time employees as of the date of the RIF). The Board approved the RIF on March 29, 2024, and all affected employees of Global Cooling were informed by April 18, 2024, following the execution of the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the Company accelerated the unvested shares granted to both the employees impacted by the RIF and Global Cooling employees that remained with Global Cooling upon the closing of the GCI Divestiture. The Company recognized the following charges in connection with the RIF and stock compensation expense acceleration:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands) | Severance | | Stock Compensation | | Total |
RIF employee costs | $ | 291 | | | $ | 1,255 | | | $ | 1,546 | |

Total employment related divestiture expenditures | $ | 291 | | | $ | 3,180 | | | $ | 3,471 | |
As outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Global Cooling for preexisting legal contingencies. Prior to the Global Cooling Divestiture, a lawsuit was filed by a previous customer related to Global Cooling's commercial freezer products seeking payment of up to $4.0 million for losses the customer claims to have incurred. As of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss contingency under the discontinued
operations of Global Cooing related to this product liability claim as outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2024, it became probable this loss would be settled within the next fiscal year. The product liability claim is subject to insurance recovery, which management believes is probable as enforceable under the Company's insurance policy, covering the entirety of the loss contingency aside from the Company's insurance deductibles. The Company estimates the legal expenses to be incurred will be immaterial. There were no changes in the status of this claim during the three months ended March 31, 2025
In addition, upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company and Global Cooling entered into a transition services agreement ("Global Cooling TSA"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain transition services to Global Cooling for up to 90 days following the date of the closing of the Global Cooling Divestiture. The Global Cooling TSA has since expired pursuant to its terms on the stated expiration date. The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with Global Cooling.
Divestiture of SciSafe, Inc.
On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into the SciSafe Purchase Agreement, and SciSafe, for the sale by SciSafe Seller of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SciSafe to SciSafe Buyer ("SciSafe Divestiture"). The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of SciSafe and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the fourth quarter of 2024.
In connection with the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Company incurred $0.4 million in severance costs, paid the former stockholders of SciSafe $3.3 million in cash to waive all rights with respect to certain potential earn-out payments, and recognized $4.0 million in stock compensation expense for the acceleration of unvested shares of all the Company's former employees that remained with SciSafe upon the closing of this transaction.
The Company recognized a gain on disposal of SciSafe, calculated as follows:
| | | | | |
(In thousands) | |
Cash proceeds received from Buyer | $ | 71,291 | |
Cash proceeds from escrow | 483 | |
Costs to sell(1) | (506) | |
Total proceeds | 71,268 | |
Less: SciSafe carrying basis as of November 12, 2024 | 42,507 | |
Less: Release of SciSafe currency translation adjustment | 622 | |
Net gain on disposal | $ | 28,139 | |
(1) Gross costs to sell incurred by the Company amounted to $2.1 million. This was offset by additional costs to sell paid on behalf of the Company by the SciSafe Buyer, which amounted to $1.6 million.
In accordance with ASC 350, upon the disposal of SciSafe, the Company assessed the goodwill to be allocated to the disposal group. The goodwill allocated to SciSafe was based on the relative fair value of SciSafe to the fair value of the Company as SciSafe was fully integrated into the Company's one reportable segment. The fair value of SciSafe was determined based on the enterprise value per the SciSafe Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the Company was determined by calculating the Company's market capitalization as of the disposal date plus any invested capital remaining of the Company, which included outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities, modified by an estimated market acquisition premium. Based on the calculation performed, the Company determined $11.3 million of goodwill was to be allocated to SciSafe upon its disposal. The allocated goodwill was included in the carrying basis of SciSafe presented in the above table.
In addition, upon the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Company and SciSafe entered into a transition services agreement ("SciSafe TSA"), pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to SciSafe for up to six months following the closing of the transaction. The SciSafe Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties thereto, including customary covenants that prevent the Company from competing with SciSafe, soliciting its employees or interfering with its business relationships for five years after the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture.
In connection with the disposal of SciSafe, the Company remains liable and responsible for the full performance and observance of all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions in one of SciSafe's operating leases. In the case of a breach or violation of any provision of the lease by the SciSafe Buyer, the Company is deemed to be in default of the lease provisions. Simultaneously, the Company received indemnification pursuant any obligation owed by the Company under this operating lease. This indicates the Company undertakes the obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event of the specified triggering events noted above, or conditions, such as breach or default, occur. However, the non-contingent aspect of the guarantee enables the Company to recover any losses from the SciSafe Buyer. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of this guarantee is not material. The outstanding minimum lease payments equal approximately $2.5 million and the lease terminates in 2031.
The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with SciSafe upon the expiration of its SciSafe and other related covenants.
Divestiture of Custom Biogenics
On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into the CBS Purchase Agreement, for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CBS. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the CBS Divestiture and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the fourth quarter of 2024.
The Company recognized $2.0 million in stock compensation expense for the acceleration of unvested shares of all the Company's former employees that remained with CBS upon the closing of the CBS Divestiture.
The Company recognized a loss on disposal of CBS, calculated as follows:
| | | | | |
(In thousands) | |
Cash proceeds received from Buyer | $ | 2,785 | |
Cash proceeds from escrow | 615 | |
Net price adjustment(1) | 179 | |
Costs to sell(2) | (148) | |
Total proceeds | 3,431 | |
Less: CBS carrying basis as of November 14, 2024 | 6,796 | |
Net loss on disposal | $ | (3,365) | |
(1) As defined within the CBS Purchase Agreement, the final purchase price was subject to working capital adjustments upon the close of the CBS Divestiture.
(2) Gross costs to sell incurred by the Company amounted to $1.4 million. This was offset by additional costs to sell paid on behalf of the Company by the CBS Buyer, which amounted to $1.3 million.
In accordance with ASC 350, upon the disposal of CBS, the Company assessed the goodwill to be allocated to the disposal group. The goodwill allocated to CBS was based on the relative fair value of CBS to the fair value of the Company as CBS was fully integrated into the Company's one reportable segment. The fair value of CBS was determined based on the enterprise value per the CBS Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the Company was determined by calculating the Company's market capitalization as of the disposal date plus any invested capital remaining of the Company, which included outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities, modified by an estimated market acquisition premium. Based on the calculation performed, the Company determined $1.1 million of goodwill was to be allocated to CBS upon its disposal. The allocated goodwill was included in the carrying basis of CBS presented in the above table.
In addition, upon the closing of the CBS Divestiture, the Company and CBS entered into a transition service agreement (the "CBS TSA"), pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to CBS following the closing of the CBS Divestiture. The CBS Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties thereto, including customary covenants that prevent the Company from competing with CBS, soliciting its employees or interfering with its business relationships for two years after the closing of the CBS Divestiture. The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with CBS upon the expiration of its CBS TSA and related covenants.

3. Fair value measurement
In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”), the Company measures its financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values of certain of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying value of our marketable debt securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale, are classified within either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. The carrying values of our long-term debt, which is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, approximates fair value as our borrowings with lenders are at interest rates that approximate market rates for comparable loans. The fair values of investments and contingent consideration classified as Level 3 were derived from management assumptions. ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value fair hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
There were no remeasurements to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2025 of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

Equity investments
The Company periodically invests in non-marketable equity securities of private companies without a readily determinable fair value to promote business and strategic objectives. The Company has adopted the measurement alternative whereby equity securities are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable process changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar transactions of the same issuer. These securities included Series E Preferred Stock in PanTHERA carried at $1.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
On April 4, 2025, the Company purchased the remaining 90% of PanTHERA common shares it did not own as of March 31, 2025 for an $10.0 million in cash and 213,361 shares of the Company's Common stock and other contingent consideration.

6. Leases
The Company has various operating lease agreements for office space, warehouses, manufacturing, production locations, and other equipment. Our real estate leases had original lease terms of two to eleven years and have remaining lease terms of two to six years. The Company excludes options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised from our lease terms,
ranging from one to five years. Our lease payments consist primarily of fixed rental payments for the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease terms, with all other lease payments consisting of variable lease costs. For certain leases, we receive incentives from our landlords, such as rent abatements, which effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for these leases.
We did not have any financing lease arrangements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

9. Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is determined to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASC 350.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, net consisted of the following as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

11. Commitments and contingencies
Employment agreements
We have employment agreements with certain key employees. None of these employment agreements is for a definitive period, but rather each will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with its terms. The agreements provide for a base annual salary, payable in monthly (or shorter) installments. Under certain conditions and for certain of these officers, we may be required to pay additional amounts upon terminating the employee or upon the employee resigning for good reason.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, as our industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding intellectual property. Management does not believe any of the current claims are material to the Company’s business. Future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company carries certain insurance policies that may cover the aforementioned costs. The probability of claims that could result in a loss are evaluated and disclosed, as needed, individually and on a gross basis. Management is not aware of any significant pending or threatened litigation that is anticipated to result in unfavorable judgments against the Company other than those listed below.
Pending litigation item
One lawsuit has been filed by a previous customer seeking payment for losses allegedly related to commercial freezer products from Global Cooling prior to its divestiture. Pursuant to the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Global Cooling for preexisting legal contingencies and if this previous customer was successful on such claim, then the Company would be responsible for indemnifying Global Cooling for any losses. This lawsuit does not currently have probable outcomes determined and we continue to defend vigorously against the claims made. An estimate for a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made, though we expect any potential loss incurred to be covered by insurance.
Indemnification
As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify its officers and directors for certain errors and occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its directors. The Company believes the fair value of the indemnification rights and agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of March 31, 2025, our total short-term obligations were $10.0 million.
Non-income related taxes
Companies are required to collect and remit sales tax from certain customers if the company is determined to have nexus in a particular state. Upon the determination of nexus, which varies by state, companies are additionally required to maintain detailed record of specific product and customer information within each jurisdiction in which it has established nexus to appropriately determine their sales tax liability, requiring technical knowledge of each jurisdiction’s tax case law. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that a sales tax liability related to the periods of 2019 through 2024 was probable and determined an estimated liability. The estimated liability was approximately $3.9 million and $4.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Due to the variety of jurisdictions in which this estimated liability relates to and our ongoing assessment of sales taxes owed, we cannot predict when final liabilities will be satisfied. We will reevaluate the estimated liability and timing of satisfaction each reporting period.
12. Long-term debt
Term Loan
On September 20, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Loan and Security Agreement, by and among Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”), the Company, SAVSU Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAVSU”), Arctic Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems (“Arctic”), SciSafe Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SciSafe Parent”), Global Cooling, and Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sexton”), as amended by that certain Waiver and First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 26, 2024, that certain Consent and Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 17, 2024 (the “Second Amendment”), that certain Consent and Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 11, 2024 (the “Third Amendment”), and that certain Consent and Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 4, 2025 (the "Fourth Amendment", and the foregoing collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for a term loan in an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $60 million in the increments and upon the dates and milestones described below (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on June 1, 2026. The Loan Agreement permitted the Company to borrow up to $30 million upon the initial closing of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Closing”), and provided options to borrow (i) up to $10 million between the Term Loan Closing and June 30, 2023, (ii) up to $10 million upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones by the Company, and (iii) an additional $10 million at the discretion of the lender. The Company borrowed $20 million at the Term Loan Closing and accounts for the Term Loan at cost. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not drawn additional funding nor had it met the revenue milestones outlined within the Loan Agreement. The Company had until December 31, 2023 to draw an additional $10 million, subject to approval from the lender, and therefore has no additional opportunities under the Loan Agreement. Payments on the borrowing are interest-only through June 2024, with additional criteria allowing for interest-only payments to continue through June 2025. Tranches borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.5%. However, the interest rate is subject to a ceiling that restricts the interest rate for each tranche from exceeding 1.0% above the overall rate applicable to each tranche at their respective funding dates and has a balloon payment due at the earliest of term loan maturity, repayment of the Term Loan in full, or termination of the Loan Agreement at $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, the implied interest rate of the Term Loan is 11.1% and the implied value of the Term Loan is $13.4 million. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Loan Agreement.
On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU, Arctic, SciSafe Parent, Global Cooling and Sexton (the Company, SAVSU, Arctic, SciSafe Parent, Global Cooling and Sexton, collectively, the “Second Amendment Borrower”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bank consented to the Global Cooling Divestiture and released its security interests in the assets of Global Cooling and the shares of common stock of Global Cooling arising under the Loan Agreement. In addition, effective as of the closing of the Global Cooling Divestiture, the Second Amendment amended the Loan Agreement to remove Global Cooling as a party to the Loan Agreement and provide for a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $500,000 payable by Second Amendment Borrower to Bank in the event that the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for any reason. The Second Amendment also contains customary representations and warranties of Second Amendment Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by Second Amendment Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Second Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.
On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU, Arctic, SciSafe Parent and Sexton (the Company, SAVSU, Arctic, SciSafe Parent and Sexton, collectively, the “Third Amendment Borrower”). Pursuant to the Third Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bank consented to the SciSafe Divestiture as required pursuant to the Loan Agreement. In addition, effective as of the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Third Amendment amended the Loan Agreement to provide for a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $750,000 payable by Third Amendment Borrower to Bank in the event that the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date for any reason. The Third Amendment also made certain other ministerial changes to the Loan Agreement, contains customary representations and warranties of Third Amendment Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by Third Amendment Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Third Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.
On April 4, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU and Sexton. For additional information on the Fourth Amendment, see Note 19: Subsequent events.

13. Revenue
To determine revenue recognition for contractual arrangements that we determine are within the scope of FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify each contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the relevant performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price, taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our deferred revenue balance totaled $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $18 thousand of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.
The Company primarily recognizes product revenues, service revenues, and rental revenues. Product revenues are generated from the sale of biopreservation media, hPL media, evo ModPaks, and ThawSTAR products. We recognize product revenue, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, at a point in time when we transfer control
of our products to our customers, which is upon shipment for substantially all transactions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as part of cost of product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Service revenues are generated from various customer service agreements to provide warranty and other engineering services. We recognize service revenues over time as services are performed or ratably over the contract term. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company generates revenue from the leasing of our evo cold chain systems to customers pursuant to rental arrangements entered into with the customer. Revenue from these arrangements is not within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606 as it is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. All customers leasing shippers currently do so under rental arrangements for durations of one year or less, with each unit having the option to continue its rental arrangement on a month-to-month basis until returned to the Company beyond the initial rental period. We account for these rental transactions as operating leases and record rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental term.
Total bioproduction tools and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were composed of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | | | | 2025 | | 2024 |
Product revenue | | | | | | | |

evo and Thaw | | | | | 1,582 | | | 1,665 | |
Total revenue | | | | | $ | 23,941 | | | $ | 18,433 | |
There was no estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period of March 31, 2025. The Company elected not to disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by the practical expedient in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
14. Stock-based compensation
Service-based vesting stock options
The following is a summary of service-based vesting stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the status of service-based vesting stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |
| Options | | Wtd. Avg. Exercise Price |
Outstanding as of beginning of period | 127,000 | | | $ | 2.19 | |
Exercised | — | | | — | |
Outstanding as of March 31, 2025 | 127,000 | | | $ | 2.19 | |
| | | |
Stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2025 | 127,000 | | | $ | 2.19 | |
As of March 31, 2025, there was $2.6 million of aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable service-based vesting stock options. Intrinsic value is the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the reporting period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2025. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. We did not recognize stock compensation expense related to service-based options during the three months ended March 31, 2025. There were no exercises of service vesting-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2025. There were no service-based vesting options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The weighted average remaining contractual life of service-based vesting stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2025 is 1.2 years. There were no unrecognized compensation costs for service-based vesting stock options as of March 31, 2025.
Restricted stock
Service-based vesting restricted stock
The following is a summary of service-based vesting restricted stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the status of unvested service-based vesting restricted stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |
| Shares | | Wtd. Avg. Grant Date Fair Value |
Outstanding as of beginning of period | 1,295,640 | | | $ | 16.00 | |

Non-vested as of March 31, 2025 | 1,399,443 | | | $ | 17.53 | |
The aggregate fair value of the service-based vesting awards granted was $7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The aggregate fair value of the service-based vesting awards that vested was $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We recognized stock compensation expense related to service-based vesting awards of $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there was $22.5 million in unrecognized compensation costs related
to service-based vesting awards. The weighted average remaining recognition period over which these service-based vesting awards will be expensed is approximately 2.8 years.
Performance-based restricted stock
On March 8, 2024, the Company granted a performance-based restricted stock award for 109,512 shares to an executive. The shares granted contain performance conditions based on Company metrics related to future performance. The shares will vest as to between 0% and 200% of the number of restricted shares granted to the recipient based on performance conditions during the period beginning on January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025. The grant date fair value of this award was $17.36 per share. The fair value of this award is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ending on December 31, 2025.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2024, it was determined the probability of attainment of the performance condition increased to greater than 100% of shares granted. In accordance with ASC 718, we recognized a cumulative catch up in stock compensation expense of $0.4 million to reflect the increased probability the performance-based award would vest in excess of the shares originally granted. The fair value of this award is being expensed on a straight-line basis in accordance with the estimated quantity of shares expected to vest over the requisite service period ending on December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's Board approved a modification to the metrics underlying the performance-based award to give effect to the adjusted operating results of the Company following the divestitures that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024. The modification increased the probability that the performance-based award would vest in excess of the shares originally granted to its maximum amount of 200%. In accordance with ASC 718, this modification resulted in an incremental compensation cost of $1.6 million, which will be recognized over the remainder of the service period of the award.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $0.4 million related to performance-based restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there was $2.7 million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to performance-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. We expect to recognize those costs over 0.8 years. Non-cash compensation costs are expensed over the period for which performance was measured.
There were no performance-based restricted stock awards granted or vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Market-based restricted stock
The following is a summary of market-based restricted stock activity under our stock option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the status of market-based restricted stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025:

Non-vested as of March 31, 2025 | 477,200 | | | $ | 33.02 | |
The following is a summary of key inputs to our market-based restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Fair Value Assumptions | | | | |
| Grant Date | | Target Shares | | Vesting Range | | Market Condition Period | | FV of Award (in millions) | | Volatility | | Risk Free Rate | | Dividend Rate | | Attainment % | | Vested Shares |
2023 TSR(1) | 1/3/2023 | | 268,738 | | 0% - 200% | | 1/1/2023 - 12/31/2024 | | $ | 6.8 | | | 78 | % | | 4.4 | % | | — | % | | 175 | % | | 470,287 |
2024 TSR(2) | 3/8/2024 | | 239,464 | | 0% - 200% | | 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2025 | | $ | 6.3 | | | 80 | % | | 4.6 | % | | — | % | | N/A | | N/A |
2025 TSR | 3/18/2025 | | 250,252 | | 0% - 200% | | 1/1/2025 - 12/31/2026 | | $ | 9.8 | | | 60 | % | | 4.1 | % | | — | % | | N/A | | N/A |
(1) Of the $6.8 million fair value of the 2023 Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") award being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date, $1.6 million of expense was recognized in 2023 to reflect accelerations in the vesting period of certain awards.
(2) Of the $6.3 million fair value of the 2024 TSR award being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date, $0.3 million of expense was recognized in 2024 to reflect accelerations in the vesting period of certain awards.
Each of the market-based restricted stock awards outlined above were granted to its executives. The restricted stock awards granted contain a market condition based on TSR. The TSR market condition measures the Company’s performance against a peer group. The market-based restricted stock awards vest at a range determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in comparison to the TSR of a group of the Company's peers. The fair value of these awards are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with various assumptions. These assumptions include historical volatility, dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate. The historical volatility is based on the most recent 2-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the measurement date with a maturity consistent with the 2-year term associated with the market condition of these awards. The fair value of these awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date.
When the TSR period for each award has elapsed, the Company determines the TSR attainment percentage to award each recipient based on the targeted amount of shares granted.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $1.0 million and $1.1 million related to market-based restricted stock awards for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, there were $12.0 million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to market-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. The weighted average remaining recognition period over which these market-based awards will be expensed is approximately 1.5 years.
The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards granted was $6.3 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards that vested was $11.5 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Total stock compensation expense
Compensation expense associated with equity-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with awards generally vesting over a 4-year period, and forfeitures recognized as incurred. We recorded total stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as follows:

15. Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes. Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that occur in the relevant period. Income tax expense of $14.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025 resulted in an effective income tax rate of negative 3.2%. Included in the $14.0 thousand of tax expense was discrete tax benefit of $0.5 million related to stock compensation, which was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
The Company’s projected effective income tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2025 excluding the impact, if any, of discrete items is negative 5.3%, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and non-deductible executive compensation offset by state tax benefits and research tax credits.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company’s management evaluates all available positive and negative evidence to determine if it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets are realizable. As of March 31, 2025, the Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as the realization of such assets is not considered to be more likely than not at this time. If the Company's conclusion about the realizability of its deferred tax assets and therefore the appropriateness of the valuation allowance changes in a future period, the Company could record a substantial tax benefit in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when that occurs.
16. Net loss from continuing operations per common share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, whichever is more dilutive. In periods when we have a net loss, common stock equivalents are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.
The following table presents computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

17. Segment, customer, and geographic information
The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as one reportable segment and one reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roderick de Greef, who is the CODM, reviews the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. As a single reportable segment entity, the Company’s segment performance measure is consolidated net (loss) income from continuing operations.
Significant segment expenses are presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additional significant segment expenses that are not separately presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include Shared-based compensation and Depreciation expense. These are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Note 14: Stock-based compensation, Note 7: Assets held for rent, and Note 8: Property and equipment.
Other expense items not individually significant in net loss from continuing operations are changes in inventory values due to changes in its carrying basis, costs associated with the Company’s acquisitions or divestitures in the period these take place, and gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets. The information provided to the Company’s CODM for purposes of making decisions and assessing segment performance excludes asset information.
Concentrations of risk

In the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no suppliers accounted for more than 10% of purchases.
As of March 31, 2025, three different suppliers accounted for 17%, 16%, and 11% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2024, no suppliers accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable.
18. Employee benefit plan
The Company sponsors 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees. This plan provides for pre-tax and post-tax contributions for all employees. Employee contributions are voluntary. Employees may contribute up to 100% of their annual compensation to this plan as limited by an annual maximum amount as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches employee contributions in amounts to be determined at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company made $0.2 million in contributions to this plan for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
19. Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the date of this filing to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure.

For a description of our critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and Part I, Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Results of operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnotes thereto.
Revenues
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | |

Total revenue | | | | | | | | | $ | 23,941 | | | $ | 18,433 | | | $ | 5,508 | | | 30 | % |
Product revenue
Product revenue was $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $5.6 million, or 33%, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is largely driven by an increase in customer demand for our cell processing products compared to the same period in the prior year.
Product revenue: Cell processing
Product revenue from our cell processing products increased by $5.4 million, or 33%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in revenue from cell processing products is driven by an overall market improvement compared to the prior year when our customers reduced safety stock levels. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our revenues were impacted by our customers' reduction in purchases. This trend of reduced safety stock abated after our second quarter of 2024. Our largest customers additionally increased demand of purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024.
Product revenue: evo and Thaw
Product revenue from our evo and Thaw products increased by $0.2 million, or 30%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to new customer acquisitions when compared to the same period in 2024.
Service revenue
Service revenues, which are primarily generated from various customer service agreements to provide warranty and other engineering services, were an immaterial portion of our total revenues earned during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Rental revenue
Rental revenue was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of $0.1 million, or 5%, compared with the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily driven by the timing of returned units requiring repairs, decreasing the quantity of units under rental agreements compared to the same period in the prior year.
Costs and operating expenses
Total costs and operating expenses for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were composed of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | | | | | | | | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change |
Cost of product, rental, and service revenue | | | | | | | | | $ | 8,155 | | | $ | 6,192 | | | $ | 1,963 | | | 32 | % |
General and administrative | | | | | | | | | 11,501 | | | 10,397 | | | $ | 1,104 | | | 11 | % |
Sales and marketing | | | | | | | | | 2,597 | | | 2,376 | | | $ | 221 | | | 9 | % |
Research and development | | | | | | | | | 2,204 | | | 2,075 | | | $ | 129 | | | 6 | % |
Intangible asset amortization | | | | | | | | | 702 | | | 688 | | | $ | 14 | | | 2 | % |
Total operating expenses | | | | | | | | | $ | 25,159 | | | $ | 21,728 | | | $ | 3,431 | | | 16 | % |
Cost of product, rental, and service revenue
Cost of product, rental, and service revenue increased $2.0 million, or 32%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is due primarily to increases in sales across multiple product lines compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization related to acquired technology was 37% as a percentage of revenue for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Although cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization was consistent between the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, costs of materials, labor, and overhead were higher in the current period than in the prior year period due to increased sales of our biopreservation media product line, all offset by lower depreciation, intangible amortization, and warranty expenses.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation, professional fees, such as accounting and consulting fees, and corporate insurance.
G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $1.1 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in professional fees incurred with third-party service providers in the process of acquiring PanTHERA, which finalized on April 4, 2025 and is further discussed in Item I, Note 19: Subsequent events to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There were additional increases in salary and severance expenses compared to the same period in the prior year.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses (“S&M”) consist primarily of personnel-related costs, stock-based compensation, consulting, advertising, and travel expense.
S&M expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $0.2 million, or 9%, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in marketing materials expenses and salaries compared to the same period in the prior year.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, consulting, research supplies, and milestone expenses related to third-party research agreements.
R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $0.1 million, or 6%, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in bonus expenses compared to the prior year, offset by lower research milestone payments in relation to our PanTHERA equity investment.
Intangible asset amortization expense
Intangible asset amortization expense consists of charges related to the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Astero, SAVSU, and Sexton in which we acquired definite-lived intangible assets.
Other income
Total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was composed of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | | | | | | | | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ Change | | % Change |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Interest income (expense), net | | | | | | | | | $ | 681 | | | $ | (140) | | | $ | 821 | | | 586 | % |
Other income | | | | | | | | | 103 | | | 253 | | | $ | (150) | | | (59) | % |
Total other income, net | | | | | | | | | $ | 784 | | | $ | 113 | | | $ | 671 | | | 594 | % |
Interest income (expense), net
Interest expense, net incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related primarily to the Term Loan (as defined in Note 12: Long-term debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) obtained in September 2022 and indirect tax liabilities. We also earn interest on cash held in our money market account and available-for-sale securities. The increase in our interest income, net during the three months ended March 31, 2025 can be attributed to the increases in interest income from our available-for-sale securities compared to the same period in 2024.
Liquidity and capital resources
On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $107.6 million and $109.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively, in our continuing operations.
On April 17, 2024, we consummated the Global Cooling Divestiture. In connection with the closing of this transaction, we provided $6.7 million in cash funding to effectuate this transaction and paid $0.6 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties. In addition, we recognized $6.1 million in cash expenditures from operations during the third quarter of 2024 to meet certain post-closing requirements, costs to sell Global Cooling, the assumption of certain liabilities and debt, and severance expenses related to the Reduction in Force ("RIF") implemented on the business of Global Cooling, which reduced our workforce by 47 employees. We are also required to indemnify Global Cooling for preexisting legal contingencies. Prior to the Global Cooling Divestiture, a lawsuit was filed by a previous customer related to Global Cooling's commercial freezer products seeking payment of up to $4.0 million for losses the customer claims to have incurred. The product liability claim is subject to insurance recovery, which management believes is probable as enforceable under our insurance policy, covering the entirety of the loss contingency aside from our insurance deductibles. We estimate the legal expenses to be incurred will be immaterial. For additional information on the details of this transaction, the RIF and its related costs, see Item I, Note 2: Discontinued operations within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On November 12, 2024, we consummated the SciSafe Divestiture. In connection with the closing of this transaction, we received net proceeds of $71.3 million. We also incurred additional expenses related to this transaction, including $0.5 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties for legal and other transaction services, and incurred $0.4 million in severance costs. We also paid the former stockholders of SciSafe approximately $3.3 million in cash to waive all rights with respect to certain potential earn-out payments and recognized $4.0 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all of our former employees that remained with SciSafe upon the closing of this transaction. For additional information on the SciSafe divestiture, see Item I, Note 2: Discontinued operations within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On November 14, 2024, we consummated the CBS Divestiture. In connection with the closing of this transaction, we received net proceeds of $3.4 million. We also incurred additional expenses related to this transaction, including $0.1 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties for legal and other transaction services. We also recognized $2.0 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees that
remained with CBS upon the closing of this transaction. For additional information on the CBS Divestiture, see Item I, Note 2: Discontinued operations within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On April 4, 2025, we consummated the acquisition of PanTHERA. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $22.7 million, which included $10.0 million in cash, 213,361 shares of our common stock, and an additional $7.2 million of our common stock over the next three years contingent on the achievement of certain scientific and revenue milestones. For additional information on the acquisition of PanTHERA, see Item I, Note 19: Subsequent events within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and for the foreseeable future. However, the Company may choose to raise additional capital through a debt or equity financing for strategic purposes. Additional capital, if required, may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $4.5 million used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in operating losses driven by stronger revenues compared to the prior year in addition to the timing of collection and disbursement of working capital related items in inventories, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $27.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0.2 million used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by the $24.0 million in additional purchases of our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities compared to the same period in the prior year. We additionally had $3.0 million less in maturities of available-for-sale securities compared to the prior year.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.0 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of a $2.5 million increase in payments on the Term Loan compared to the same period in the prior year.
Contractual obligations
Our material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations which we previously disclosed within the financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report. Other than the contractual obligation listed below, there have been no significant changes to these obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of March 31, 2025, our total short-term obligations were $10.0 million.
Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt. Our long-term debt primarily bears interest at a fixed rate, with a variable component subject to an interest rate ceiling. Fluctuations in interest rates therefore do not materially impact our consolidated financial statements from long-term debt. For additional information, see Note 12, Long-term debt to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As previously reported, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as of December 31, 2024, with regard to ineffective internal controls to verify that key inputs for the Company's stock-based awards were entered correctly into the equity system early in 2024. This weakness was attributed to an outdated internal policy with unclear guidance regarding the appropriate inputs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, our management made significant changes to our ICFR to remediate the material weakness, as follows:
•Updated the Stock-Based Compensation Policy to include clearer guidance and considerations on how to identify the appropriate inputs; and
•Trained Accounting team members on the updated policy and execution.
Other than the changes noted above, there were no other changes in our ICFR that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.
