Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) (“Celularity”) a regenerative and
cellular medicine company, today announced that it has increased
expected net sales guidance for the full year 2024 to $54 million
to $60 million, up from $50 million to $56 million previously
announced in February. The increased guidance is based on higher
expected net sales through October of its advanced biomaterial
products. Expected net sales for full year 2024 consist of $49
million to $54.5 million sales of advanced biomaterial products and
$5.0 million to $5.5 million net sales of biobanking services. For
the full year 2024, Celularity now expects net sales of its
advanced biomaterial products to grow by 180% to 212% over the
prior year.
October expected net sales were $8.3 million to
$8.9 million, marking Celularity’s highest-ever single-month
expected net sales. For the ten months ending October 31, 2024,
expected net sales were $44.4 million, consisting of advanced
biomaterial product sales of $40.2 million and biobanking sales of
$4.2 million, and includes approximately $9 million in expected net
sales of Celularity’s new Rebound™ product. Rebound adds to
Celularity’s portfolio of placental-derived advanced biomaterial
products, sales of which through the first half of 2024 exceeded
$24 million, which is greater than Celularity’s full-year sales in
2023.
“We had very strong second and third quarter
performances, and based on such performance we have increased the
full year 2024 expected net sales guidance we previously announced
in February,” said Dr. Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., Founder,
Chairman, and CEO. “Sales are strong for our new Rebound product,
which we believe will strengthen our revenue outlook for the next
several quarters. We continue to advance development of next
generation advanced biomaterial products while exploring all
opportunities in the rapidly evolving landscape of cellular and
regenerative medicine. We believe Celularity can leverage our
unique business model, world-class technical infrastructure and
intellectual property, and growing commercial traction as we enter
2025 and beyond.”
Celularity also announced that it filed its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter 2024 on
November 6, 2024. As previously announced, Celularity received a
determination notification from Nasdaq on October 16, 2024
indicating non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the
“Rule) due to the delayed filing of Celularity’s quarterly reports
on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2024, and June 30,
2024 (collectively, the “Forms 10-Q”). Celularity has now filed the
Forms 10-Q in compliance with the Rule.
Dr. Hariri added, “With the completion of our
Forms 10-Q for the first and second quarter, we reaffirm our
commitment to regaining and maintaining compliance with the Nasdaq
listing requirements. To further strengthen our reporting
processes, we have implemented several key improvements to help
mitigate delays in the future. These enhancements include engaging
additional technical accounting resources, upgrading our internal
review protocols, and collaborating closely with our external
auditors to ensure timely and accurate financial disclosures.”
