NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) ("Cryoport" or the "Company"), a global leader in temperature-controlled supply chain solutions for the life sciences industry, today announced financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport, commented, "We delivered a strong performance for the second quarter of 2022 highlighted by overall top-line growth of 14%, or 18% on a constant currency basis. Each of our end markets, Biopharma/Pharma, Reproductive Medicine and Animal Health, grew in the double digits during the quarter driven by strong continued demand for all of our products and services.

"Our Biopharma/Pharma revenue was $51.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $45.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. We are now supporting a record 626 global clinical trials in regenerative medicine, up by 17 trials sequentially compared to our previous quarter end. Importantly our clinical trial pipeline continues to mature with 285 trials now in Phase 2 and 81 in Phase 3. Overall revenue growth in the Biopharma/Pharma market was driven by our support of global clinical trials and commercially launched therapies.

"Demand for our Animal Health products and services, which is driven primarily by protein production, increased by 14% to $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2022.

"Reproductive Medicine revenue increased by 24% to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. This growth was driven by CryoStork^® logistics solutions and cryogenic shipper products. We continued to grow in the Reproductive Medicine market as the number of fertility clinics we support increases and as IVF technologies continue to stimulate increased interest on a global basis. 

"Our strategic expansion continued to progress during the second quarter and included the grand openings of Cryoport's two new Global Supply Chain Centers in Texas and New Jersey. These world-class facilities form the foundation of our Global Supply Chain Center Network and include the important addition of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) BioServices to our portfolio of premier, comprehensive supply chain solutions. During the quarter, we further strengthened our presence in the EMEA region with the acquisition of Cell&Co BioServices in Clermont-Ferrand, France. We anticipate that Cell&Co BioServices will play a significant role in the further development of our Global Supply Chain Center Network as we expand into the Paris, France region.

"We also continued our development in EMEA subsequent to quarter end with CRYOPDP opening a logistics center in Ireland and acquiring Polar Expres, based in Spain, which adds logistics centers in Madrid and Barcelona.  Additionally, Cryoport Systems just completed the acquisition of Cell Matters, based in Belgium, specializing in cryo-process optimization, cryo-processing, and cryopreservation. These developments are important steps in further building out our leadership position as a provider of global temperature-controlled supply chain solutions to the life sciences industry and are expected to also positively impact our operations in the Americas and APAC in the future. 

Mr. Shelton concluded, "We continue to have robust product and services development projects underway as well as an accretive acquisition pipeline. We remain confident in our outlook for the remainder of the year and reiterate our previous full year 2022 revenue guidance to be between $260 million and $265 million, representing a 17% to 19% increase over 2021 revenue."

In tabular form, revenue by market for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021 was as follows:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company supported nine (9) commercial therapies and a net total of 626 global clinical trials, a net increase of 65 clinical trials over second quarter 2021 and an increase of 24 clinical trials from year-end 2021. The number of trials in Phase 3 was 81 as of the end of the second quarter. The number of trials by phase and region are as follows:

During the second quarter of 2022, Bristol Myers' Breyanzi^® received FDA approval for the second line treatment of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, Gilead's Yescarta^® received approval by the European Commission for the treatment of follicular lymphoma, and Novartis' Kymriah^® received a label expansion approval for follicular lymphoma in the US, EU, and Japan. A total of two (2) Cryoport supported Biologic License Applications (BLAs) or Marketing Authorization Applications (MAAs) were filed in the second quarter and two filings occurred in the first quarter. During the remainder of 2022, we anticipate up to an additional 12 filings, three (3) new therapy approvals, and an additional four (4) label or geographic expansion approvals. Also, we are now forecasting a combined total of 23 BLA or MAA filings in 2023, up from our previous estimate of 20 filings.

Gross margin was 43.9% for the first half of 2022 compared to 45.6% in the first half of 2021. The gross margin for the first half of 2022 was adversely affected by increased costs due to global supply chain constraints, primarily impacting the first quarter of 2022, as well as the ramp up of resources to support the expected increase in demand for our solutions as well as the opening of the new global supply chain centers.
• Operating costs and expenses increased by $4.9 million, or 17% to $34.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $29.2 million for the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2022 was $8.0 million compared to $13.2 million for the first half of 2021. The decrease for the six-month period primarily reflects the impact from the fire at our New Prague, Minnesota manufacturing facility during the first quarter of 2022 and increased investments in our growth initiatives.

Outlook

The Company expects that its revenue guidance for the full year 2022 of $260 - $265 million will be driven primarily by the record demand for dewars, cryogenic freezer, and shipper systems and solutions; growth from our support of global clinical trials and commercially launched therapies from our cell and gene therapy clients; growth in temperature-controlled logistics for the life sciences industry; and expanded client utilization of our new BioServices offering. The Company's guidance is dependent on its current business and expectations, which may be impacted by, among other things, factors that are outside of our control, such as the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures, and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as the other factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC during 2022, as well as in its subsequent filings with the SEC.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are included in this release: revenue growth rate at constant currency and adjusted EBITDA.

Under GAAP, revenues received in local (non-U.S. dollar) currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period presented. When we use the term "constant currency," it means that we have translated local currency revenues for the current reporting period into U.S. dollars using the same average foreign currency exchange rates for the conversion of revenues into U.S. dollars that we used to translate local currency revenues for the comparable reporting period of the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, investment income, unrealized (gain)/loss on investments, foreign currency loss and charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events.

In evaluating Cryoport's performance, management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial statements prepared under GAAP. Management believes that revenue growth rate at constant currency and adjusted EBITDA provide useful measures of Cryoport's operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results, with the results of other companies, and insight into Cryoport's revenue trends and ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Board of Directors utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures to gain a better understanding of Cryoport's performance from period-to-period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented, when read in conjunction with Cryoport's GAAP financials, are useful to investors because they provide a basis for meaningful period-to-period comparisons of Cryoport's revenue trends and ongoing operating results, including results of operations, against investor and analyst financial models.  Management also believes the non-GAAP financial measures are also useful in identifying trends in Cryoport's underlying business and performing related trend analyses, plus they provide a better understanding of how management plans and measures Cryoport's underlying business.

The non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures, including revenue growth rate at constant currency and adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
