$21.73M. Roderick de Greef, Chairman and CEO, commented, "This past year was a pivotal one for BioLife as we cemented our position as a leading pure play enabler of cell and gene therapies. We delivered five consecutive quarters of revenue growth in our cell processing platform, exceeding expectations and outperforming our raised full year guidance. At the same time, we remained focused on optimizing our portfolio - divesting non-core product lines to drive gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion from continuing operations. This work culminated in the completed sales of our freezer and biostorage businesses, bolstering our year-end cash position to more than
$100 million to fuel our growth objectives.
"With this foundation in place, we enter 2025 with streamlined operations focused on our proprietary, high-growth, high-margin products, positioning us to deliver continued revenue growth and profitability. We expect 2025 cell processing revenue to grow 18% to 21%, a meaningful acceleration over 2024, and we see a significant opportunity to deepen relationships with our biopreservation customers, leveraging cross-selling to increase adoption of our broader cell processing product lines.
By ultimately integrating these tools into approved therapies, we have the potential to increase our revenue per dose by two to three-fold compared to our biopreservation media alone. Our focus remains on strategically enhancing our cell processing portfolio, both organically and inorganically, to strengthen our market leadership and continue delivering long-term value for our stakeholders," added de Greef.
