Cryo-Cell International Inc (OTC:CCEL) ($7.08; $58.6M market cap) announced Q1 2024 results:

  • Sales of $7.8 million vs $7.8 million in the prior year, slightly missing analyst estimates of $7.9 million
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.07 vs non-GAAP EPS of $0.09 in the prior year ahead of analyst estimates for a loss of $0.02

“For the three months ended February 29, 2024, the Company recorded $503,000 in research, development and related engineering (“R&D”) expenses versus $79,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2023. The increase in R&D expenses as of the three months ended February 29, 2024 versus the same period in 2023 is due to the Clinical Study and Research Agreement the Company entered into with Duke to provide funding to complete the Duke IMPACT Study (as previously disclosed) and the expenses related to the development of a manufacturing laboratory related to the Duke License Agreement.”

The CCEL multibagger case still hinges on the company opening up stem cell infusion clinics to supplement its recurring revenue but no growth stem cell storage business.

CCEL is the world’s first private cord blood bank.
