Biolife Solutions prelims

 Fourth quarter Cell Processing revenue increased 7% sequentially to $20.3 million

Unaudited revenue for FY2024 from Cell Processing of $73.5 million, exceeded the high end of previously raised guidance

BioLife Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLFS) ("BioLife" or the "Company"), a leading developer and supplier of bioproduction products and services for the cell and gene therapy (CGT) market, today announced 2024 fourth quarter and full year preliminary unaudited revenue from continuing operations.

Roderick de Greef, Chairman and CEO, commented, "2024 was a transformative year for BioLife Solutions, marked by solid execution and strategic clarity. We exceeded the upper end of our previously raised revenue guidance for cell processing, with the fourth quarter representing our fifth consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth for this platform. The divestiture of our freezer and biostorage businesses further streamlined our operations and sharpened our focus as a leading pure-play enabler in the CGT market, positioning BioLife to meet the demands of this rapidly growing modality."

de Greef continued, "Our biopreservation solutions, embedded in 17 approved therapies, highlight our essential role in enabling lifesaving therapies and we expect that to accelerate as the sector continues to mature. As we look to 2025, the momentum in our core business coupled with our fortified balance sheet positions us to deliver sustainable growth and profitability, expand and deepen customer relationships, and create long-term value for our shareholders. We look forward to providing additional detail regarding our 2024 financial performance and outlook for 2025 on our earnings call in February."

Reconciliation of Full Year 2024 Revenue Guidance to Preliminary Unaudited Revenue for Continuing Operations

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company divested its freezer business through the previously disclosed sales of its former subsidiaries Global Cooling, Inc. ("GCI") in April 2024 and Arctic Solutions, Inc. (doing business as Custom Biogenics Systems) ("CBS") in November 2024. The Company also divested its storage business through the previously disclosed sale of its former subsidiary SciSafe, Inc. ("SciSafe") in November 2024. Each of the divested businesses previously qualified as a discontinued operation.

As disclosed in our earnings release of November 12, 2024, our revenue guidance for fiscal year 2024 did not include anticipated results from GCI or CBS for that period. Our revenue guidance for fiscal year 2024 did include anticipated results from SciSafe for fiscal year 2024.

The table below reconciles our preliminary unaudited revenue from continuing operations as disclosed herein, plus preliminary unaudited revenue from the discontinued operations of SciSafe for fiscal year 2024 (through the date of its divestiture), to our previously announced revenue guidance range that included anticipated fiscal year 2024 results from SciSafe.
