NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) ("Cryoport" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of integrated temperature-controlled supply chain solutions for the life sciences, today announced financial results for its first quarter (Q1) of 2026.

Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport, commented, "Cryoport delivered a strong start to 2026 with first-quarter revenue of $47.8 million, up 16% year-over-year, reflecting a continuation of our momentum over the past several quarters across our integrated services and products platform. Revenue in support of commercial Cell and Gene Therapies (CGT) grew 26% to $9.1 million, while clinical trial support revenue grew 18% to $12.9 million. We continue to support one of the industry's broadest CGT pipelines, and our leadership across both clinical and commercial programs positions us well for sustainable growth.

"Our Life Sciences Services segment delivered another strong quarter, with revenue increasing 18% year-over-year, including 21% growth in BioStorage/BioServices. This performance reflects the increasing scope and complexity of the Cell & Gene Therapy programs we support and underscores the critical role we play in supporting our clients with our integrated, temperature-controlled supply chain services.

"Our Life Sciences Products segment also performed very well, generating 15% revenue growth, driven by global demand for MVE Biological Solutions' cryogenic systems. MVE continues to innovate and further solidify its position as the global leader in high-quality cryogenic systems.

"This growth across both our reporting segments, combined with solid gross margins and continued operational discipline, drove a $2.2 million year-over-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, advancing us meaningfully along our "pathway to profitability."

"Looking ahead, we see multiple growth catalysts extending beyond 2026, including the planned launch of BioServices operations at our Global Supply Chain Center in Paris, France in the third quarter, and the planned opening of our new Global Supply Chain Center in Santa Ana, California in the fourth quarter. These strategic investments expand our global footprint in key geographies and further strengthen our ability to support the advancement and commercialization of life-saving therapies globally. Reflecting on our strong performance in the first quarter and increased visibility into the remainder of the year, we are raising our full-year revenue guidance to $192 million to $196 million," concluded Mr. Shelton.

The following table presents Q1 2026 revenue compared with Q1 2025:

BioLogistics Solutions revenue increased 17% year-over-year in Q1 2026, driven by increasing customer activity, continued commercial product maturation, and clinical advancement within the CGT market. BioStorage/BioServices revenue grew 21% year-over-year, reflecting strong demand for our expanded, integrated services offering, which provides seamless, secure handling of temperature-sensitive materials across our global network.

Revenue from the support of commercial CGTs increased 26% year-over-year to $9.1 million and as of March 31, 2026, the number of commercial therapies we support increased to 21.

As of March 31, 2026, Cryoport supported a total of 766 global clinical trials, a net increase of 55 clinical trials over March 31, 2025, with 91 of these clinical trials in Phase 3. The number of trials by phase and region are as follows: 

In Q1 2026, four Biologics License Applications (BLA) / Marketing Authorization Applications (MAA) filings occurred. During the first quarter, Cryoport's customer, Rocket Pharmaceuticals, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accelerated approval for their gene therapy KRESLADI™ for the treatment of pediatric patients with severe leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I (LAD-I). Severe LAD-I is an ultra-rare, life-threatening pediatric genetic immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent infections and high early-childhood mortality without treatment. For the balance of 2026, we anticipate another 10 possible BLA/MAA application filings and 8 additional new therapy approvals.

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 measure of financial performance as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is included in this release: adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, 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 adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as loss from continuing operations adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, cost reduction initiatives, investment income, unrealized loss on investments, foreign currency loss, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events, as applicable.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations provides a useful measure of Cryoport's operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into Cryoport's ongoing operating performance. Further, management and the Company's board of directors utilize adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to gain a better understanding of Cryoport's comparative operating performance from period to period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is also a significant performance measure used by Cryoport in connection with its incentive compensation programs. Management believes adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, when read in conjunction with Cryoport's GAAP financials, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for meaningful period-to-period comparisons of Cryoport's ongoing operating results, including results of operations, against investor and analyst financial models, helps identify trends in Cryoport's underlying business and in performing related trend analyses, and it provides a better understanding of how management plans and measures Cryoport's underlying business.
