Organization and significant accounting policies
Business
BioLife Solutions, Inc. (“BioLife”, “us”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a life sciences company that develops, manufactures, and markets bioproduction products and services which are designed to improve quality and de-risk biologic manufacturing, distribution, and transportation in the cell and gene therapy ("CGT") industry. Our products include proprietary biopreservation media, automated thawing devices, and cloud-connected shipping containers. Our CryoStor® freeze media and HypoThermosol® hypothermic storage media are optimized to preserve cells in the regenerative medicine market. These novel biopreservation media products are serum-free and protein-free, fully defined, and formulated to reduce preservation-induced cell damage and death. Our Sexton cell processing product line includes human platelet lysates (“hPL”) for cell expansion, reducing risk and improving downstream performance over fetal bovine serum, human serum, and other chemically defined media, CellSeal® cryogenic vials that are purpose-built rigid containers used in CGT that can be filled manually or with high throughput systems, CryoCase™ cryo-compatible transparent rigid containers designed for closed-system fill and retrieval, and automated cell processing machines that bring multiple processes traditionally performed by manual techniques under a higher level of control to protect therapies from loss or contamination. Our ThawSTAR® product line is composed of a family of automated thawing devices for frozen cell and gene therapies packaged in cryovials and cryobags. These products help administer temperature-sensitive biologic therapies to patients by standardizing the thawing process and reducing the risks of contamination and overheating, which are inherent with the use of traditional water baths. Our evo® shipping containers provide cloud-connected passive storage and transport containers for temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceuticals.
On October 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “SAVSU Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Peli BioThermal LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SAVSU Buyer”), for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests (the “SAVSU Interests”) of SAVSU Cleo Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SAVSU"), to SAVSU Buyer. The SAVSU entity contained our evo cloud connected “smart” shipping container products that provided passive storage and transport for temperature-sensitive biologics and pharmaceuticals. The divestiture of SAVSU was considered a subsequent event to the financial results presented as of September 30, 2025. SAVSU is therefore presented as a part of our continuing operations as of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. For additional information on the divestiture of SAVSU, see Note 20:
Subsequent events
.
On April 4, 2025, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “PanTHERA Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Casdin Partners Master Fund L.P. and each other person listed on Schedule A thereto (the “PanTHERA Sellers”), 2699979 Alberta LTD., an Alberta corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PanTHERA Buyer Sub”), PanTHERA CryoSolutions Inc., an Alberta corporation (“PanTHERA”) and Dr. Jason Acker, solely in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative, the Company acquired the remaining
90
% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PanTHERA not owned by the Company from the Sellers (the “PanTHERA Transaction”). For additional information on the acquisition of PanTHERA, see Note 2:
Acquisition
.
On November 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “CBS Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Standex International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CBS Buyer”), and Arctic Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (doing business as Custom Biogenic Systems, or “CBS”), for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “CBS Shares”) of CBS to CBS Buyer (the “CBS Divestiture”). Upon the execution of the CBS Purchase Agreement, the CBS business is presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SciSafe Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Subzero Purchaser Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SciSafe Buyer”), SciSafe, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SciSafe Seller”), and SciSafe, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SciSafe”), for the sale by SciSafe Seller of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “SciSafe Shares”) of SciSafe to SciSafe Buyer ("SciSafe Divestiture"). Upon the execution of the SciSafe Purchase Agreement, the SciSafe business is presented in the
accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
On April 17, 2024, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Global Cooling, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Global Cooling”), to GCI Holdings Company, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“GCI Holdings”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 17, 2024 (the “Global Cooling Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and GCI Holdings (the “Global Cooling Divestiture”). Upon the execution of the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Global Cooling business is presented in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
The Company is presenting Global Cooling, SciSafe, and CBS within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) as discontinued operations for all applicable periods presented within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity, and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. All amounts, percentages, and disclosures for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. See Note 3:
Discontinued operations
within this Form 10-Q for further details regarding the divestitures described above.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s valuation of market-based stock awards, fair value of marketable debt securities, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, net realizable value of inventory, and provision for income taxes.
The Company regularly assesses these estimates; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are unaudited, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for a full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 in accordance with U.S. GAAP, however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SAVSU, Sexton Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Sexton”), and PanTHERA. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company is presenting Global Cooling, SciSafe, and CBS as discontinued operations for all periods presented within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity, and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are presented on a
consolidated basis for both continuing operations and discontinued operations. All amounts, percentages, and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. See Note 3:
Discontinued operations
for additional details about the divestitures.
Foreign currency exchange
The Company's sales are primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, our sales are not generally impacted by foreign currency exchange rates. For any transactions denominated in a foreign currency, which were immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company remeasures foreign currency transactions into U.S. dollars on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Other income
line item.
Segment reporting
The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as
one
reportable segment and
one
reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), reviews financial information on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. For additional information on the Company's segment considerations, see Note 18:
Segment, customer, and geographic information
.
Significant accounting policies
The following describes an update to the Company’s accounting policies for the purchase of a convertible promissory note and an asset acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For a full discussion of significant accounting policies, refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements described in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report.
In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825
Financial Instruments
("ASC 825")
,
the Company accounted for a convertible promissory note under the fair value option ("FVO") election of ASC 825. The convertible promissory note accounted for under the FVO election was a debt financial instrument containing embedded features wherein the entire financial instrument was initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and will be subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The Company elected to disclose changes in the estimated fair value of the convertible promissory note inclusive of related accrued interest income as a component of
Other income
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In accordance with ASC Topic 805
Business Combinations
("ASC 805")
,
the Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination if the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction constitute a business. Such acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby the Company recognizes the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquired business is measured at the acquisition date fair values. Where the set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed do not constitute a business, it is accounted for as an asset acquisition where the individual assets and liabilities are recorded at their respective relative fair values corresponding to the consideration transferred. Should the Company have previously held equity interest in the acquiree of an asset acquisition, the Company has elected to include the fair value of the previously held equity interest within the total cost of the asset acquisition.
In accordance with ASC Topic 730
Research and Development
("ASC 730"), identifiable assets purchased from others for a particular research and development project outside of a business combination with no alternative future use are expensed as incurred.
Liquidity and capital resources
On September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $
98.4
million and $
109.2
million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively. Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
Risks and uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates represent management's judgment about the outcome of future events. The global business environment continues to be impacted by
cost pressure, volatility in global trade policies through significant increases in tariffs, the overall effects of economic uncertainty on customers' purchasing patterns, high interest rates, and other factors. It is not possible to accurately predict the future impact of such events and circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
For additional information, see caption “Risk Factors” identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
On September 29, 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-07,
Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract
("ASU 2025-07"), which excludes from derivative accounting non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. These requirements may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not expect the application of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06,
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
("ASU 2025-06"), which modernizes the accounting guidance for the costs to develop software for internal use. The standard applies to costs incurred to develop or obtain software for internal use. ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods. Under the new standard, entities will commence capitalizing eligible costs when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
On July 30, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05,
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
("ASU 2025-05"), which provides a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged when developing forecasts for estimating expected credit losses. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose that it has elected to use the practical expedient and the election should be applied prospectively. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the application of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
On May 15, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04,
Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer
("ASU 2025-04"), which clarifies the guidance on the accounting for share-based payment awards that are granted by an entity as consideration payable to its customer, with the intent to reduce diversity in practice and improve existing guidance by revising the definition of a “performance condition” and eliminating a forfeiture policy election for service conditions associated with share-based consideration payable to a customer. ASU 2025-04 also clarifies that the guidance in Topic 606 on the variable consideration constraint does not apply to share-based consideration payable to a customer "regardless of whether an award’s grant date has occurred." ASU 2025-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 with updates to be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the application of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
On May 12, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03,
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
("ASU 2025-03"), which revises the guidance in ASC 805 on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). ASU 2025-03 is intended to improve comparability between business combinations that involve VIEs and those that do not. Under ASU 2025-03, a reporting entity involved in a business combination effected primarily by the exchange of equity interests must consider the factors in ASC 805-10-55-12 through 55-15 to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer regardless of whether the legal acquiree is a VIE. More specifically, when considering those factors, the reporting entity can determine that a transaction in which the legal acquiree is a VIE represents a reverse acquisition (in which the legal acquirer is identified as the acquiree
for accounting purposes). As a result, comparability is increased with business combinations in which the legal acquiree is a VIE. ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. The Company does not expect the application of this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items in the footnotes to the financial statements for both annual and interim periods. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures - Clarifying the Effective Date
to clarify the effective date for non-calendar year-end entities. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.
Acquisition
In November 2020, the Company invested approximately $
1.0
million in Class E Preferred Shares in PanTHERA, representing approximately
10
% ownership interest in the company. In conjunction with this investment, the Company executed a development and license agreement with PanTHERA (the “PanTHERA Development and License Agreement”) under which the Company made milestone development payments in exchange for exclusive, perpetual, and worldwide marketing and distribution rights to the technology for use in CGT applications.
On April 4, 2025, the Company acquired the remaining
90
% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of PanTHERA from the PanTHERA Sellers. Through the PanTHERA Transaction, the Company obtained ownership of PanTHERA’s patented Ice Recrystallization Inhibitor ("IRI") GEN 2 cryopreservation technology, a technology that is expected to ultimately enhance the Company's core capabilities in biopreservation and within the CGT market upon achievement of commercial viability. This technology was valued to represent approximately
95
% of the gross assets acquired in the PanTHERA Transaction. In accordance with ASC 805-50, due to the fair value of the technology representing substantially all of the gross assets acquired, the Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition.
The IRI GEN 2 cryopreservation technology was under development as of the date of acquisition. It was therefore considered in-process research and development ("IPR&D") as of the date of acquisition and valued at $
15.5
million. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the acquisition of the IPR&D IRI GEN 2 cryopreservation technology and determined that the asset should be immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 730-10 due to the technology not meeting alternative future use criteria. The expense was reported within the
IPR&D expense
line in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pursuant to the PanTHERA Purchase Agreement, the PanTHERA Sellers are eligible to receive up to $
7.2
million in cash or equivalent shares of the Company's common stock (as elected by the PanTHERA Sellers) over a
three-year
earnout period upon the achievement of certain revenue targets based on the Company's earnings derived from the acquired IRI GEN 2 cryopreservation technology in addition to the achievement of an operational milestone within the first year of the earnout period. The PanTHERA Purchase Agreement also contains an embedded change in control protective provision. As of September 30, 2025, the Company's management determined that the probability of the PanTHERA Sellers achieving the outlined revenue and operational targets to be remote. As a result, no earnout consideration for any period has been recognized.
The Company recognized the following in closing costs as of the closing date of the PanTHERA Transaction:
Less: extinguishment of pre-existing liability
(6)
(
150
)
Total closing cost consideration
$
16,799
(1) Represents the amount transferred to the escrow agent as of the closing date of the PanTHERA Transaction to cover any losses arising from a breach of representations as agreed upon within the PanTHERA Transaction. This amount will be held in escrow for
18
months following the closing date.
(2) Represents the costs incurred by the Company ($
0.5
million) and on behalf of PanTHERA Sellers ($
0.1
million) in connection with the PanTHERA Transaction, including fees to be paid to attorneys and other external parties.
(3) Represents the original investment amount by the Company in PanTHERA in November 2020. This was added to the overall consideration paid to determine the costs to allocate to assets acquired in the PanTHERA Transaction.
(4) Represents portion of common stock payout to PanTHERA Sellers that was elected to be distributed in cash rather than stock compensation.
(5) Represents market value of
213,360
shares of the Company's common stock issued to the PanTHERA Sellers as of the closing date of the PanTHERA Transaction in accordance with its terms..
(6) Represents pre-existing liability of the Company from milestone development payments under the PanTHERA Development and License Agreement.
3.
Discontinued operations
In 2024, the Company, our management, and our board of directors (the "Board"), made the decision to sell Global Cooling and CBS (the "Freezer Business"), allowing the Company to optimize its product portfolio by focusing on its recurring higher margin revenue streams. Additionally, in November of 2024, the Company, our management, and the Board determined the sale of SciSafe would further optimize the Company's product portfolio toward its proprietary high margin cell processing and other bioproduction products. Accordingly, the results of these businesses are reported in the
Loss from discontinued operations

As outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Global Cooling for certain preexisting legal contingencies. Prior to the Global Cooling Divestiture,
two
lawsuits were filed by previous customers related to Global Cooling's commercial freezer products seeking indemnification. The details of each case are described below.
In addition, upon the closing of the Global Cooling Divestiture, the Company and Global Cooling entered into a transition services agreement (the "Global Cooling TSA"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain transition services to Global Cooling for up to
90
days following the date of the closing of the Global Cooling Divestiture. The Global Cooling TSA has since expired pursuant to its terms on the stated expiration date. The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with Global Cooling.
Global Cooling legal contingencies
As of the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss contingency for a $
1.4
million claim in relation to losses a previous customer claims to have incurred. The loss contingency was recorded under the discontinued
operations of Global Cooling as outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement. During the third quarter of 2025, it became probable this loss would be settled within the next fiscal year.
As of the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss contingency for a $
4.0
million claim in relation to losses a previous customer claims to have incurred. The loss contingency was recorded under the discontinued operations of Global Cooling as outlined in the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2024, it become probable the loss would be settled within the next fiscal year. There were no changes in the status of this claim during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Both product liability claims are subject to insurance recovery, which management believes is probable to be enforceable under the Company's insurance policy, covering the entirety of the loss contingencies aside from the Company's insurance deductibles. The Company estimates the legal expenses to be incurred will be immaterial.
Divestiture of SciSafe, Inc.
On November 12, 2024, the Company entered into the SciSafe Purchase Agreement, and SciSafe, for the sale by SciSafe Seller of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SciSafe to SciSafe Buyer. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the SciSafe Divestiture and determined that the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met during the fourth quarter of 2024.
In connection with the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Company incurred $
0.4
million in severance costs, paid the former stockholders of SciSafe $
3.3
million in cash to waive all rights with respect to certain potential earn-out payments, and recognized $
4.0
million in stock compensation expense for the acceleration of unvested shares of all the Company's former employees that remained with SciSafe upon the closing of this transaction.

(1) Gross costs to sell incurred by the Company amounted to $
2.1
million. This was offset by additional costs to sell paid on behalf of the Company by SciSafe Buyer, which amounted to $
1.6
million.
In accordance with ASC 350, upon the disposal of SciSafe, the Company assessed the goodwill to be allocated to the disposal group. The goodwill allocated to SciSafe was based on the relative fair value of SciSafe to the fair value of the Company as SciSafe was fully integrated into the Company's
one
reportable segment. The fair value of SciSafe was determined based on the enterprise value per the SciSafe Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the Company was determined by calculating the Company's market capitalization as of the disposal date plus any invested capital remaining of the Company, which included outstanding debt and financing lease liabilities, modified by an estimated market acquisition premium. Based on the calculation performed, the Company determined $
11.3
million of goodwill was to be allocated to SciSafe upon its disposal. The allocated goodwill was included in the carrying basis of SciSafe presented in the above table.
In addition, upon the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Company and SciSafe entered into a transition services agreement (the "SciSafe TSA"), pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to SciSafe for up to
six months
following the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture. The SciSafe Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities of the parties thereto, including customary covenants that prevent the Company from competing with SciSafe, soliciting its employees or interfering with its business relationships for
five years
after the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture.
Pursuant to the SciSafe Purchase Agreement, the final purchase price was subject to working capital adjustments upon the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture. The Company's management estimated the final working capital adjustment amount and provided that estimate to SciSafe Buyer as of the divestiture date. SciSafe Buyer had an agreed upon period to adjust the estimate provided. As of September 30, 2025, the Company expects to soon resolve the working capital adjustments and will record any potential excess of the purchase price when amounts become realizable. The final working capital adjustment amount has not yet been determined.
In connection with the disposal of SciSafe, the Company remains liable and responsible for the full performance and observance of all of the provisions, covenants, and conditions in one of SciSafe's operating leases. In the case of a breach or violation of any provision of the lease by SciSafe Buyer, the Company is deemed to be in default of the lease provisions. Simultaneously, the Company received indemnification pursuant any obligation owed by the Company under this operating lease. This indicates the Company undertakes the obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event of the specified triggering events noted above, or if conditions, such as breach or default, occur. However, the non-contingent aspect of the guarantee enables the Company to recover any losses from SciSafe Buyer. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of this guarantee is not material. The outstanding minimum lease payments equal approximately $
2.3
million and the lease terminates in 2031.
The Company has no other significant continuing involvement with SciSafe upon the expiration of its SciSafe TSA and other related covenants.

Fair value measurement
In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, (“ASC Topic 820”), the Company measures its financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying values of certain of our financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying value of our marketable debt securities, which are accounted for as available-for-sale, are classified within either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy because we use quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value. The carrying values of our long-term debt, which is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, approximates fair value as our borrowings with lenders are at interest rates that approximate market rates for comparable loans. The fair values of investments and contingent consideration classified as Level 3 were derived from management assumptions. ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value fair hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
There were no remeasurements to fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Valuation of convertible promissory note
On July 18, 2025, the Company invested $
2.0
million cash in a convertible promissory note issued by an unrelated third party company. The carrying value of the convertible promissory note is approximately $
2.0
million as of September 30, 2025, and is presented within the
Other assets
line of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company elected FVO to account for the convertible promissory note, with changes in fair value and related accrued interest income recognized in
Other income
within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company evaluated and determined that there were no changes to the fair value of the convertible promissory note, and therefore the change in fair value noted below is attributable only to the interest income accrued. For additional information on the nature of the investment, see Note 5:
Investments.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

Leases
The Company has various operating lease agreements for office space, warehouses, manufacturing, production locations, and other equipment. Our real estate leases had original lease terms of
two
to
eleven years
and have remaining lease terms
of
two
to

one
to
five years
. Our lease payments consist primarily of fixed rental payments for the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease terms, with all other lease payments consisting of variable lease costs. For certain leases, we receive incentives from our landlords, such as rent abatements, which effectively reduce the total lease payments owed for these leases.
We did not have any financing lease arrangements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

We have employment agreements with certain key employees. None of these employment agreements is for a definitive period, but rather each will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with its terms. The agreements provide for a base annual salary, payable in monthly (or shorter) installments. Under certain conditions and for certain of these officers, we may be required to pay additional amounts upon terminating the employee or upon the employee resigning for good reason.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, as our industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding intellectual property. Management does not believe any of the current claims are material to the Company’s business. Future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company carries certain insurance policies that may cover the aforementioned costs. The probability of claims that could result in a loss are evaluated and disclosed, as needed, individually and on a gross basis. Management is not aware of any significant pending or threatened litigation that is anticipated to result in unfavorable judgments against the Company other than those listed below.
Pending litigation items
Two
lawsuits have been filed by previous customers seeking payment for losses allegedly related to commercial freezer products from Global Cooling prior to its divestiture. Pursuant to the Global Cooling Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Global Cooling for preexisting legal contingencies and, therefore, if these previous customers were successful on such claims, then the Company would be responsible for indemnifying Global Cooling for any losses. These lawsuits would be recorded under the discontinued operations of Global Cooling. For further information on the details of the
two
lawsuits, refer to Note 3:
Discontinued operations
.
Indemnification
As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with the Company’s bylaws, the Company is required to indemnify its officers and directors for certain errors and occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. The Company is also party to indemnification agreements with its directors. The Company believes the fair value of the indemnification rights and agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of September 30, 2025, our total short-term obligations were $
7.4
million.
Non-income related taxes
Companies are required to collect and remit sales tax from certain customers if the companies are determined to have nexus in a particular state. Upon the determination of nexus, which varies by state, companies are additionally required to maintain detailed record of specific product and customer information within each jurisdiction in which it has established nexus to appropriately determine their sales tax liability, requiring technical knowledge of each jurisdiction’s tax case law. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that a sales tax liability related to the periods of 2019 through 2024 was probable and determined an estimated liability. The estimated liability was approximately $
3.7
million and $
4.3
million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Due to the variety of jurisdictions to which this estimated liability relates and our ongoing assessment of sales taxes owed, we cannot predict when final liabilities will be satisfied. We will reevaluate the estimated liability and timing of satisfaction each reporting period.
On September 20, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Loan and Security Agreement, by and among Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“Bank”), the Company, SAVSU, CBS, SciSafe Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SciSafe Parent”), Global Cooling, and Sexton, as amended by that certain Waiver and First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 26, 2024, that certain Consent and Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 17, 2024 (the “Second Amendment”), that certain Consent and Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 11, 2024 (the “Third Amendment”), that certain Consent and Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated April 4, 2025 (the “Fourth Amendment”), that certain Consent to Loan and Security Agreement dated July 29, 2025 (the “Fifth Amendment”) and that certain Consent to Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 6, 2025 (the “Sixth Amendment” and the foregoing collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for a term loan in an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $
60
million in the increments and upon the dates and milestones described below (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on June 1, 2026. The Loan Agreement permitted the Company to borrow up to $
30
million upon the initial closing of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Closing”), and provided options to borrow (i) up to $
10
million between the Term Loan Closing and June 30, 2023, (ii) up to $
10
million upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones by the Company, and (iii) an additional $
10
million at the discretion of Bank. The Company borrowed $
20
million at the Term Loan Closing and accounts for the Term Loan at cost. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not drawn additional funding nor had it met the revenue milestones outlined within the Loan Agreement. The Company had until December 31, 2023 to draw an additional $
10
million, subject to approval from Bank, and therefore has no additional opportunities under the Loan Agreement. Payments on the borrowing were interest-only through June 2024, with additional criteria allowing for interest-only payments to continue through June 2025, which the Company did not pursue. Tranches borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the Wall Street Journal
prime rate
plus
0.5
%. However, the interest rate is subject to a ceiling that restricts the interest rate for each tranche from exceeding
1.0
% above the overall rate applicable to each tranche at their respective funding dates. Finally, the Term Loan also has a balloon payment due at the earliest of term loan maturity, repayment of the Term Loan in full, or termination of the Loan Agreement at $
1.2
million. As of September 30, 2025, the implied interest rate of the Term Loan is
24.4
% and the implied value of the Term Loan is $
8.6
million. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants.
On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amendment by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU, CBS, SciSafe Parent, Global Cooling and Sexton (the Company, SAVSU, CBS, SciSafe Parent, Global Cooling and Sexton, collectively, the “Second Amendment Borrower”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bank consented to the Global Cooling Divestiture and released its security interests in the assets of Global Cooling and the shares of common stock of Global Cooling arising under the Loan Agreement. In addition, effective as of the closing of the Global Cooling Divestiture, the Second Amendment amended the Loan Agreement to remove Global Cooling as a party to the Loan Agreement and provide for a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $
500,000
payable by Second Amendment Borrower to Bank in the event that the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for any reason. The Second Amendment also contains customary representations and warranties of Second Amendment Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by Second Amendment Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Second Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.
On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU, CBS, SciSafe Parent and Sexton (the Company, SAVSU, CBS, SciSafe Parent and Sexton, collectively, the “Third Amendment Borrower”).

In addition, effective as of the closing of the SciSafe Divestiture, the Third Amendment amended the Loan Agreement to provide for a non-refundable termination fee in the amount of $
750,000
payable by Third Amendment Borrower to Bank in the event that the Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date for any reason. The Third Amendment also made certain other ministerial changes to the Loan Agreement, contains customary representations and warranties of Third Amendment Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by Third Amendment Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Third Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.
On April 4, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment, by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU, and Sexton (the Company, SAVSU and Sexton, collectively, the “Fourth Amendment Borrower”).

The Fourth Amendment also made certain other ministerial changes to the Loan Agreement, contains customary representations and warranties of the Fourth Amendment Borrower and provides for a release of Bank by the Fourth Amendment Borrower for any claims existing or arising through the date of the Fourth Amendment, including, without limitation, those arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the Loan Agreement.
On July 29, 2025, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment, by and among Bank, the Company, SAVSU, and Sexton (the Company, SAVSU and Sexton, collectively, the “Fifth Amendment Borrower”). Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Bank consented to adding PanTHERA as a borrower to the Loan Agreement and granted Bank a security interest in the assets of PanTHERA.

Revenue
To determine revenue recognition for contractual arrangements that we determine are within the scope of FASB Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify each contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the relevant performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the
consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. Contracts with customers may contain multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price, taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our deferred revenue balance totaled $
0.2
million and $
0.1
million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized approximately $
26
thousand and $
0.1
million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.
The Company primarily recognizes product revenues, service revenues, and rental revenues. Product revenues are generated from the sale of biopreservation media, hPL media, CellSeal cryogenic vials, evo ModPaks, and ThawSTAR products. We recognize product revenue, including shipping and handling charges billed to customers, at a point in time when we transfer control of our products to our customers, which is upon shipment for substantially all transactions. Shipping and handling costs are classified as part of cost of product revenue in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Service revenues are generated from various customer service agreements to provide warranty and other engineering services. We recognize service revenues over time as services are performed or ratably over the contract term. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The Company generates rental revenue from the leasing of our evo cold chain systems to customers pursuant to rental arrangements entered into with the customer. Revenue from these arrangements is not within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606 as it is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 842,
Leases
. All customers leasing shippers currently do so under rental arrangements for durations of one year or less, with each unit having the option to continue its rental arrangement on a month-to-month basis until returned to the Company beyond the initial rental period. We account for these rental transactions as operating leases and record rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental term.

As of September 30, 2025, there was $
2.6
million of aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable service-based vesting stock options. Intrinsic value is the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the reporting period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. This amount will change based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. We did
not
recognize stock compensation expense related to service-based options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The intrinsic value of service vesting-based awards exercised was $
0.2
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $
0.5
million and $
1.1
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. There were
no
service-based vesting options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. The weighted average remaining contractual life of service-based vesting stock options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2025 is
0.7
years. There were
no
unrecognized compensation costs for service-based vesting stock options as of September 30, 2025.

Service-based vesting restricted stock
The following is a summary of service-based vesting restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the status of unvested service-based vesting restricted stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025:
The aggregate fair value of the service-based vesting awards that vested was $
2.4

1.7

We recognized stock compensation expense related to service-based vesting awards of $
2.8
million and $
8.3
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $
2.7
million and $
7.9
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there was $
20.6
million in unrecognized compensation costs related to service-based vesting awards. The weighted average remaining recognition period over which these service-based vesting awards will be expensed is approximately
2.7
years.
Performance-based restricted stock
On March 8, 2024, the Company granted a performance-based restricted stock award ("PSA") for
109,512
shares to an executive. The shares granted contain performance conditions based on Company metrics related to future performance. The shares will vest as to between
0
% and
200
% of the number of restricted shares granted to the recipient based on performance conditions during the period beginning on January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025. The grant date fair value of this award was $
17.36
per share. The fair value of this award is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ending on December 31, 2025.
The PSA has since been modified as follows:

During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2024, it was determined the probability of attainment of the performance condition increased to greater than
100
% of shares granted. In accordance with ASC 718, we recognized a cumulative catch up in stock compensation expense to reflect the increased probability the PSA would vest in excess of the shares originally granted. The fair value of this award is being expensed on a straight-line basis in accordance with the estimated quantity of shares expected to vest over the requisite service period ending on December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Board approved a modification to the metrics underlying the PSA to give effect to the adjusted operating results of the Company following the divestitures that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024. The modification increased the probability that the performance-based award would vest in excess of the shares originally granted to its maximum amount of
200
%. In accordance with ASC 718, this modification resulted in an incremental compensation cost of $
1.6
million, which will be recognized over the remainder of the service period of the award.
We recognized stock compensation expense related to the PSA of $
0.9
million and $
2.2
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $
0.2
million and $
0.7
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there was $
0.9
million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to the PSA expected to vest. We expect to recognize those costs over
0.2
years. Non-cash compensation costs are expensed over the period for which performance was measured.
There were
no
performance-based restricted stock awards granted or vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

(1) Of the $
6.8
million fair value of the 2023 Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") award being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date, $
1.6
million of expense was recognized in 2023 to reflect accelerations in the vesting period of certain awards.
(2) Of the $
6.3
million fair value of the 2024 TSR award being expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date, $
0.3
million of expense was recognized in 2024 to reflect accelerations in the vesting period of certain awards.
Each of the market-based restricted stock awards outlined above were granted to the Company's executives. These restricted stock awards contain a market condition based on TSR. The market-based restricted stock awards vest at a range determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board in comparison of the Company's TSR to the TSR of a group of the Company's peers. The fair value of these awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation with various assumptions. These assumptions include historical volatility, dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate. The historical volatility is based on the most recent
2
-year period for the Company and correlated with the components of the peer group. The stock price projection for the Company and the components of the peer group assumes a
0
% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on the U.S. Treasury Strips as of the measurement date with a maturity consistent with the
2
-year term associated with the market condition of these awards. The fair value of these awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant date to the vesting date.
When the TSR period for each award has elapsed, the Company determines the TSR attainment percentage to award each recipient based on the targeted amount of shares granted.
We recognized stock compensation expense of $
2.2
million and $
5.4
million related to market-based restricted stock awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $
1.2
million and $
3.6
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there were $
7.7
million in unrecognized non-cash compensation costs related to market-based restricted stock awards expected to vest. The weighted average remaining recognition period over which these market-based awards will be expensed is approximately
1.1
years.
The aggregate fair value of the market-based awards that vested was $
11.8
million and $
8.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were
no
market-based awards that vested during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Total stock compensation expense
Compensation expense associated with equity-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with awards generally vesting over a
4-year
period, and forfeitures recognized as incurred. In accordance with ASC 350-40, stock compensation expenses allocable to intangible assets for internal use are capitalized.

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes. Under this standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that occur in the relevant period. Income tax expense of $
0.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 resulted in an effective income tax rate of negative
1.4
%. Included in the $
0.2
million of tax expense was discrete tax benefit of $
0.7
million related to stock compensation, which was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
The Company’s projected effective income tax rate excluding the impact, if any, of discrete items is negative
1.5
%, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of
21
% primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and non-deductible executive compensation offset by state tax benefits and research tax credits.
The Company acquired the remaining equity of PanTHERA, a Canadian corporation, on April 4, 2025. The Company's projected effective income tax rate is
0
% with respect to its Canadian jurisdiction, primarily due to research and development credits.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company’s management evaluates all available positive and negative evidence to determine if it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets are realizable. As of September 30, 2025, the Company's management believes there is uncertainty regarding the future realizability of the U.S. net operating loss carryforward and is projecting a full valuation allowance of $
56.8
million against its deferred tax assets as the realization of such assets is not considered to be more likely than not at this time. If the Company's conclusion about the realizability of its deferred tax assets and therefore the appropriateness of the valuation allowance changes in a future period, the Company could record a tax benefit in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when that occurs.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted, introducing significant changes to U.S. tax law. Among other items, the OBBBA allows the deduction of U.S. research and development expenses from taxable income.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this recently enacted law on its Consolidated Financial Statements but does not expect a material impact due to the valuation allowance.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when we have a net loss, common stock equivalents are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.

Segment, customer, and geographic information
The Company views its operations and makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as
one
reportable segment and
one
reporting unit. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Roderick de Greef, who is the CODM, reviews the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. As a single reportable segment entity, the Company’s segment performance measure is consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations.
Significant segment expenses are presented in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additional significant segment expenses that are not separately presented in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include Shared-based compensation and Depreciation expense. These are presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Note 15:
Stock-based compensation
, Note 8:
Assets held for rent
, and Note 9:
Property and equipment, net
.
Other expense items not individually significant in net income (loss) from continuing operations are changes in inventory values due to changes in its carrying basis, costs associated with the Company’s acquisitions or divestitures in the period these take place, and gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets. The information provided to the Company’s CODM for purposes of making decisions and assessing segment performance excludes asset information.
Significant customers are those that represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable balances for the periods and as of each balance sheet date presented. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and gross accounts receivable as a percentage of total gross accounts receivable as of the periods presented were as follows:

Critical accounting policies and estimates
A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a description of our critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and Part I, Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Product revenue
Product revenue was $26.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $6.3 million, or 32%, compared with the same period in 2024, and was $72.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $17.5 million, or 32%, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in product revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was largely driven by an increase in customer demand for our cell processing products compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Product revenue: Cell processing
Product revenue from our cell processing products increased by $6.3 million, or 33%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in product revenue from cell processing products is primarily driven by an increase in demand from customers with commercially approved therapies compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2025, we received approximately $1.3 million in revenue that we anticipated for shipment in the fourth quarter of 2025, but shipped early at the request of the customer.
Product revenue from our cell processing products increased $16.6 million, or 31%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in revenue from cell processing products is driven by an overall market improvement compared to the prior year when our customers reduced safety stock levels. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our revenues were impacted by our customers' reduction in purchases. This trend of reduced safety stock abated after our second quarter of 2024. Our largest customers additionally increased demand of purchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024.
Product revenue: evo and Thaw
Product revenue from our evo and Thaw products increased by $0.1 million, or 8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. Overall revenue remained relatively consistent for evo and Thaw products between the two periods, with increases in pricing on our Thaw products during the three months ended September 30, 2025 being offset by decreases in volume of consumable products from the evo product line sold during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.
Product revenue from our evo and Thaw products increased by $0.9 million, or 54%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to new customer acquisitions and an increase in demand and price on our Thaw products compared to the same period in 2024. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 can also be attributed to timing of returns in the prior year that offset revenues earned on Thaw products during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Service revenues, which are primarily generated from various customer service agreements to provide warranty and other engineering services, were an immaterial portion of our total revenues earned during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Rental revenue
Rental revenue was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $0.3 million, or 24%, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to an increase in pricing on our rental agreements compared with the same period in 2024.
Rental revenue was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or 9%, compared with the same period in 2024. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in pricing on our rental agreements compared with the same period in 2024, which was offset by a decrease in rental agreement volume compared with the same period in 2024.
Costs and operating expenses

Cost of product, rental, and service revenue
Cost of product, rental, and service revenue increased $2.7 million, or 37%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, and increased $7.2 million, or 36%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to increases in sales across multiple product lines and an increase in inventory write-offs compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization related to acquired technology as a percentage of revenue was 38% and 37% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization related to acquired technology as a percentage of revenue was 38% and 37%, respectively.
Cost of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization related to acquired technology as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 remained relatively consistent to the same periods in 2024. Although we experienced increases in sales in our higher margin biopreservation media product line during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, we also experienced significant increases in sales of products with higher costs of revenue inclusive of intangible amortization and an increase in inventory write-offs.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation, professional fees, such as accounting and consulting fees, and corporate insurance.
G&A expenses increased $2.7 million, or 29%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs and professional fees, including increases of $1.5 million in stock-based compensation, $0.3 million in severance costs, and $0.2 million in legal fees. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $0.7 million in bad debt recovery from the settlement of an account we had previously written-off, which impacted comparability with the three months ended September 30, 2025.
G&A expenses increased $5.9 million, or 20%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs and professional fees, including increases of $3.2 million in stock-based compensation, $0.7 million in severance costs, $0.5 million in salaries, and $0.5 million in legal fees. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $1.0 million in bad debt recovery from the settlement of two accounts we had previously written-off, which impacted comparability with the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, stock-based compensation, consulting, advertising, and travel expense.
S&M expenses increased $21 thousand, or 1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and increased $0.5 million, or 7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to an increase in marketing materials expenses and salaries compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, consulting, research supplies, and milestone expenses related to third-party research agreements.
R&D expenses increased $0.8 million, or 43%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs, including increases of $0.3 million in stock-based compensation, $0.2 million in salaries, and $0.1 million in bonus expenses. We also experienced increases of $0.1 million in supply costs and $0.1 million in consulting costs.
R&D expenses increased $1.6 million, or 27%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, including increases of $0.5 million in salaries, $0.4 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.4 million in bonus expenses. We also experienced increases of $0.3 million in consulting costs, $0.1 million in supply costs, and $0.1 million in software costs. These increases were offset by lower research milestone payments in relation to our historical PanTHERA Development and License Agreement. For additional information on the details of the PanTHERA Development and License Agreement, see Item 1, Note 2:
Acquisition
within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
IPR&D expense
IPR&D expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consists of the immediate $15.5 million expense of the IPR&D asset we acquired in the PanTHERA Transaction. For additional information on the details of the PanTHERA Transaction, see Item I, Note 2:
Acquisition
within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Change in fair value of equity investments
Reflects the change in fair value of our historical equity investments. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company determined that the fair value of an equity interest was less than its carrying amount, and no longer recoverable. The equity investment was fully impaired as a result of the analysis.
Interest income (expense), net
Interest income (expense), net
incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 related primarily to the Term Loan (as defined in Note 13:
Long-term debt
, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) obtained in September 2022 and indirect tax liabilities. We also earn interest on cash held in our money market account and available-for-sale securities. The increase in our interest income (expense), net during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 can be attributed to the increases in interest income from our available-for-sale securities compared to the same periods in 2024 in addition to decreases in our long-term debt balance, decreasing interest expenses when compared to the same periods in 2024.
Liquidity and capital resources
On September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $98.4 million and $109.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities, respectively.
On October 6, 2025, the Company entered into the SAVSU Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company and the SAVSU Buyer for the sale by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SAVSU to SAVSU Buyer for an aggregate purchase price of $25.5 million (subject to adjustment as set forth in the SAVSU Purchase Agreement). The Company has not yet finalized its accounting for the SAVSU transaction, though expects proceeds from the Transaction to be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2025. For additional information on the SAVSU Transaction, see Item I, Note 20:
Subsequent events
within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On April 4, 2025, we consummated the PanTHERA Transaction. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $16.8 million, which included $11.5 million in cash and 213,360 shares of our common stock. Additionally, pursuant to the PanTHERA Purchase Agreement, the PanTHERA Sellers are eligible to receive up to $7.2 million in cash or equivalent shares of the Company's common stock (as elected by the PanTHERA Sellers) over a three-year earnout period upon the achievement of certain revenue targets based on the Company's earnings derived from the acquired IRI GEN 2 cryopreservation technology in addition to the achievement of an operational milestone within the first year of the earnout period. For additional information on the PanTHERA Transaction, see Item I, Note 2:
Acquisition
within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On November 14, 2024, we consummated the CBS Divestiture. In connection with the closing of this transaction, we received net proceeds of $3.4 million. We also incurred additional expenses related to this transaction, including $0.1 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties for legal and other transaction services. We also recognized $2.0 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all former employees that remained with CBS upon the closing of this transaction. For additional information on the CBS Divestiture, see Item I,

On November 12, 2024, we consummated the SciSafe Divestiture. In connection with the closing of this transaction, we received net proceeds of $71.3 million. We also incurred additional expenses related to this transaction, including $0.5 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties for legal and other transaction services, and incurred $0.4 million in severance costs. We also paid the former stockholders of SciSafe approximately $3.3 million in cash to waive all rights with respect to certain potential earn-out payments and recognized $4.0 million in stock compensation expense in connection with the acceleration of unvested shares for all of our former employees that remained with SciSafe upon the closing of this transaction. For additional information on the SciSafe Divestiture, see Item I, Note 3:
Discontinued operations
within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On April 17, 2024, we consummated the Global Cooling Divestiture. In connection with the closing of this transaction, we provided $6.7 million in cash funding to effectuate this transaction and paid $0.6 million to the brokers, attorneys, and other external parties. In addition, we recognized $6.1 million in cash expenditures from operations during the third quarter of 2024 to meet certain post-closing requirements, costs to sell Global Cooling, the assumption of certain liabilities and debt, and severance expenses related to the Reduction in Force ("RIF") implemented on the business of Global Cooling, which reduced our workforce by 47 employees. We are also required to indemnify Global Cooling for preexisting legal contingencies. Prior to the Global Cooling Divestiture, a lawsuit was filed by a previous customer related to Global Cooling's commercial freezer products seeking payment of up to $4.0 million for losses the customer claims to have incurred. The product liability claim is subject to insurance recovery, which management believes is probable as enforceable under our insurance policy, covering the entirety of the loss contingency aside from our insurance deductibles. We estimate the legal expenses to be incurred will be immaterial. For additional information on the details of the Global Cooling Divestiture, the RIF and its related costs, see Item I, Note 3:
Discontinued operations
within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on our current expectations with respect to our future revenue and expenses, we believe that our current level of cash, cash equivalents, and other liquid assets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and for the foreseeable future. However, the Company may choose to raise additional capital through a debt or equity financing for strategic purposes. Additional capital, if required, may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

Net cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $6.8 million provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to stronger revenues compared to the prior year in addition to the timing of collection and disbursement of working capital related items in inventories, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $72.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $15.3 million used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by the $61.4 million in additional purchases of our investments in available-for-sale marketable securities and the $2.0 million investment in a convertible promissory note compared to the same period in 2024. This was offset by an increase of $3.8 million in maturities of available-for-sale securities compared to the same
period in the prior year. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we made investments in strategic acquisition and divestiture activities. We used $10.2 million in cash for the acquisition of PanTHERA during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This was $2.8 million less than the cash used for the divestiture of Global Cooling during the second quarter of 2024.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $8.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.7 million used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of a $7.5 million increase in payments on the Term Loan compared to the same period in the prior year in addition to $2.0 million less in proceeds from financing our insurance premiums during the same period in 2024.
Contractual obligations
Our material cash requirements include contractual and other obligations which we previously disclosed within the financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report. Other than the contractual obligation listed below, there have been no significant changes to these obligations in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum, or variable pricing provisions and the approximate timing of the transactions. As of September 30, 2025, our total short-term obligations were $7.4 million.

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investments in marketable securities and long-term debt.
Our available-for-sale debt securities are managed by outside professional managers within investment guidelines that oversee the security type, credit quality, and maturity elements of each investment. Our investment guidelines over available-for-sale debt securities are intended to limit market risk by restricting our investments to high quality debt instruments with relatively short-term maturities.
Our long-term debt primarily bears interest at a fixed rate, with a variable component subject to an interest rate ceiling.
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
Based on the structures of investments in marketable securities and long-term debt instrument, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a material impact our consolidated financial statements. For additional information, see Note 5:

Long-term debt

Controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As previously reported, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as of December 31, 2024, with regard to ineffective internal controls to verify that key inputs for the Company's stock-based awards were entered correctly into the equity system early in 2024. This weakness was attributed to an outdated internal policy with unclear guidance regarding the appropriate inputs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, our management remediated the prior year material weakness.
In addition, the Company implemented internal controls related to the acquisition of PanTHERA and the purchase of the convertible promissory note.
Other than the changes noted above, there were no other changes in our ICFR that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
