Reports Progress in Advancing the Rollout of the POCare Platform and POCare Therapeutic Pipeline

Orgenesis to Host Conference Call Today at 8:00 AM ET

GERMANTOWN, Md., Aug. 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orgenesis Inc. (NASDAQ: ORGS) (“Orgenesis” or the “Company”), a global biotech company working to unlock the full potential of cell and gene therapies (CGT), today provided a business update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Vered Caplan, CEO of Orgenesis, said, “We are pleased to report revenue of approximately $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, which reflects the ongoing rollout of our POCare platform. We recently rebranded the POC Services business from Morgenesis to Octomera, following an additional investment from MM OS Holdings, L.P. (“MM”), an affiliate of Metalmark Capital Partners (“Metalmark”), a leading private equity firm. We believe their continued investment is further validation of our business model.”

“We continue to support the growth of our global POCare Network, which now includes a number of PoCare Centers located at strategic locations in various countries worldwide, which serve as hubs for the respective regions to help potentially being lifesaving treatments to patients across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. We also signed a recent partnership agreement with University of California, UC Davis to deploy Octomera Mobile Processing Units and Labs (OMPULs) at UC Davis and other healthcare universities within the State of California. Through these steps, we are clearly executing on our strategy to make advanced cell and gene therapy (CGT) products and services more accessible, affordable, and available to patients than traditional centralized models of CGT production.”

Ms. Caplan concluded, “We are also advancing our POCare therapeutic pipeline by leveraging grants and partnerships to help pay for their development. These programs span immuno-oncology, anti-viral, metabolic/auto-immune diseases, and tissue regeneration. We are focused on identifying the optimal licensing and marketing partners for several of the more advanced product candidates in our pipeline. As these programs progress, we expect to increasingly benefit from revenue sharing and royalty agreements with our partners as we seek to advance the respective therapies through commercialization. Overall, we believe we have built a scalable, high margin, recurring revenue business model.”

The complete financial results for the second quarter of 2023 are available on the Company’s website in the Company’s Form 10-Q, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company also notes that as a result of the deconsolidation of Octomera, the assets and liabilities of Octomera are not included on the Company’s balance sheet for the period ended June 30, 2023, although the Company still owns approximately 75% of Octomera.
