NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 3, 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022.
Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport, commented, "Like many companies that operate globally, we were subject to macroeconomic headwinds during the third quarter and expect some of these pressures will extend into the fourth quarter. Specifically, during the third quarter, we experienced a convergence of macroeconomic pressures that impacted revenue including: a negative foreign exchange impact of
"During the third quarter, we also saw a shift in cryogenic freezer sales through distributors to smaller, lower cost units as customers became more reserved in regard to capital purchases. Like any company that sells a broad range of products, we expect to experience some level of order variability during any given quarter. However, the shift in the third quarter was sharp and is likely tied to concerns about the general economic environment. As of now, we see this purchasing trend continuing in the fourth quarter, but we remain confident that the life sciences market fundamentals are sound and will continue to drive long-term demand for our comprehensive set of products and services.
"We have not seen erosion in demand from our key cell and gene therapy customers as Cryoport Systems grew over
"Despite these headwinds impacting our second half 2022 performance, we remain positive given the persistent demand from our target markets. We are optimistic about further advancing our leadership position in providing temperature-controlled supply chain solutions to the life sciences industry and expect to resume our overall growth as macroeconomic conditions subside and as our new products and services launch in 2023. We continue to position ourselves for anticipated rapid growth in the cell and gene industry, through product and service developments including our newly commissioned Cryoport Systems Global Supply Chain Center Network, the expected launches of the Cryoportal® Logistics Management System 2.0, SkyTraxTM, a revolutionary condition monitoring system, the CryoSphereTM, a revolutionary Elite™ shipper that reduces shipping risks for cell and gene therapies, new model launches of MVE Vario® and MVE Fusion® freezers, and our Direct-to-Patient service over the next few quarters. These new products and services are expected to further expand our market presence, create new future revenue streams, and enable us to support the growing number of commercial cell and gene therapy products more broadly.
"Our efforts to proactively address our macroeconomic challenges are far ranging. We are entering the market for apheresis collection to answer the industry need for better starting materials in cell and gene therapies through our recently announced strategic relationship with Takeda's BioLife Plasma Services. This partnership is expected to generate new revenues for Cryoport beginning in 2023 and stretching over years to come. We believe Cryoport has never been stronger with significant industry changing business development initiatives underway. We feel that these strategic actions will strengthen our business and position us to begin to take advantage of opportunities in 2023 and beyond. The commitment of our team is resolute and its commitment to deliver solutions that support life-saving cell and gene therapies is second to none," concluded Mr. Shelton.

During the third quarter of 2022, bluebird bio's SKYSONA® received FDA approval for Early, Active Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), bluebird bio's ZYNTEGLO® received FDA approval for Beta-thalassemia, Gilead/Kite's Tecartus® received approval from the European Commission for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (r/r) B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and subsequent to quarter end, Gilead/Kite's Yescarta® received approval as a second line treatment for Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) from the European Commission. A total of two (2) Cryoport supported Biologic License Applications (BLAs) were filed in the third quarter, bringing the number of filings through September 30, 2022, to six (6). During the remainder of 2022, we anticipate up to an additional seven (7) filings, and two (2) new therapy approvals. We are now forecasting a combined total of 26 BLA or MAA filings in 2023, up three (3) from our previous estimate of 23 filings.
In addition, during the third quarter Cryoport entered a strategic relationship with Takeda's BioLife Plasma Services, intended to provide consistent, high-quality cellular starting material for use in the manufacture of cell therapies. By bringing together Takeda's BioLife Plasma Services' proficiency in apheresis collection through their donation center infrastructure with Cryoport's expanding capabilities and expertise in the temperature-controlled supply chain, the companies aim to establish a standardized, integrated apheresis collection, processing, and distribution solution dedicated to cell and gene therapies. Importantly, the new platform will leverage the cryo-processing expertise of Cell Matters, which Cryoport acquired in late July 2022. Operations are expected to begin in early 2023 with apheresis scheduling and collections to be initiated by Takeda's BioLife Plasma Services in the Houston area supported by Cryoport cryo-processing capabilities being established near our Houston, Texas Global Supply Chain Center. Cryoport will provide supply chain solutions inclusive of packaging, logistics, data management, consulting, program management, cryo-processing, and bioservices.
Financial Highlights

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.
