Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Management’s Representation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company”, “Cryoport”, “our” or “we”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.
Note 2. Nature of the Business
Cryoport serves the life sciences industry as a provider of integrated temperature-controlled supply-chain solutions supporting the biopharma/pharma, animal health, and reproductive medicine markets. Our mission is to support life and health worldwide and we are continuously developing, implementing, and leveraging our supply chain platform, which is designed to deliver comprehensive, unparalleled, highly differentiated temperature-controlled logistics, packaging, storage, cryogenic systems, informatics, and related services for life science products, regenerative medicine, cellular therapies, and treatments that require unique, specialized cold chain management.
In October 2020, the Company completed both the acquisition of MVE Biological Solutions (the “MVE Acquisition”) and the acquisition of CRYOPDP (the “CRYOPDP Acquisition”). In the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the acquisitions of Critical Transport Solutions Australia (CTSA) in Australia and F-airGate in Belgium to further enhance CRYOPDP’s existing global temperature-controlled supply chain capabilities in the APAC (Asia-Pacific) and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) regions. In April 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Cell&Co BioServices (Cell&Co) in Clermont-Ferrand, France. In July 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Polar Expres in Madrid, Spain, which provides temperature-controlled logistics solutions dedicated to the life sciences industry, and the acquisition of Cell Matters in Liège, Belgium, which provides cryo-process optimization, cryoprocessing, and cryopreservation solutions to the life sciences industry. These acquisitions are further discussed in Note 4.
The Company is a Nevada corporation and its common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market exchange under the ticker symbol “CYRX.”
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cryoport, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
8
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents represent demand deposits, and money market funds which are readily convertible into cash, have maturities of 90 days or less when purchased and are considered highly liquid and easily tradeable.
Short-Term Investments
Our investments in equity securities consist of mutual funds with readily determinable fair values which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
Investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Gains and losses are recognized when realized. When we have determined that an other than temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.
Short-term investments are classified as current assets even though maturities may extend beyond one year because they represent investments of cash available for operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts. The Company’s significant estimates include the provision for credit losses, fair value of short-term investments, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates, including valuation multiples utilized in the market approach used in impairment assessments, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, intangible asset useful lives and amortization methods, inventory excess and obsolescence reserve, contingent consideration liability, equity-based instruments, tax reserves, and recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.
Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, 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.
Future events, including the extent and the duration of the COVID-19 related economic impacts, and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment.
Credit Losses
The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its financial instruments, including its trade receivables. The Company considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of its customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating for current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses. However, because of the short time to the expected receipt of accounts receivable, the Company believes that the carrying value, net of excepted losses, approximates fair value and therefore, relies more on historical and current analysis of such financial instruments, including its trade receivables.
To determine the provision for credit losses for accounts receivable, the Company has disaggregated its accounts receivable by class of customer at the business component level, as the Company determined that risk profile of its customers is consistent based on the type and industry in which they operate, mainly in the life sciences industry. Each business component is analyzed for estimated credit losses individually. In doing so, the Company establishes a historical loss matrix, based on the previous collections of accounts receivable by the age of such receivables, and evaluates the current and forecasted financial position of its customers, as available. Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the life sciences industry to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends and the Company’s expectation of the future status of such
9
economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.
The accounts receivable balance on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 was $45.6 million, net of $1.1 million of allowances. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected at March 31, 2023:
Balance at January 1, 2023 |

Change in expected credit losses |
| (103) | |
Write-offs, net of recoveries | (40) | ||
Balance at March 31, 2023 | $ | 1,132 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, finance lease liabilities, note payable, and the Company’s 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Senior Notes”) and 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Senior Notes” and together with the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes, the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The carrying value for all such instruments, except finance lease liabilities, notes payable and the Convertible Senior Notes, approximates fair value because the interest rate approximates market rates available to us for similar obligations with the same maturities. For additional information related to fair value measurements, including the note payable and the Convertible Senior Notes, see Notes 6 and 9.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. From time to time, we maintain cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment balances in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Primarily, all of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2023 were in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC and SIPC. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure. We manage such risks in our portfolio by investing in highly liquid, highly rated instruments, and limit investing in long-term maturity instruments.
Our investment policy requires that purchased instruments in marketable securities may only be in highly-rated instruments, which are primarily U.S. Treasury bills or treasury-backed securities, and also limits our investment in securities of any single issuer.
Customers
The Company grants credit to customers within the U.S. and international customers and does not require collateral. Revenues from international customers are generally secured by advance payments except for established foreign customers. The Company generally requires advance or credit card payments for initial revenues from new customers. The Company’s ability to collect receivables can be affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by the Company. Reserves for uncollectible amounts are provided based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts, which management believes to be sufficient. Accounts receivable at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are net of provision for credit losses of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, historically have not exceeded its estimates.
The Company’s customers are in the biopharma, pharmaceutical, animal health, reproductive medicine, and other life science industries. Consequently, there is a concentration of accounts receivable within these industries, which is subject to normal credit risk. At March 31, 2023 there was one customer that accounted for 10.4% of net accounts receivable. At December 31, 2022, there was no customers that accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable.
The Company has revenue from foreign customers primarily in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China and India. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had revenues from foreign customers of approximately $29.2 million and $24.4 million, respectively, which constituted approximately 46.5% and 46.7%, respectively, of total revenues. No single customer generated over 10% of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
10
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are reviewed periodically for slow-moving or obsolete status. The Company writes down the carrying value of its inventories to reflect situations in which the cost of inventories is not expected to be recovered. Once established, write-downs of inventories are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the obsolete or excess inventories. Raw materials and finished goods include material costs less provisions for obsolete or excess inventories. The Company evaluates the current level of inventories considering historical trends and other factors, such as selling prices and costs of completion, disposal and transportation, and based on the evaluation, records adjustments to reflect inventories at net realizable value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual results if future economic conditions, customer demand, competition or other relevant factors differ from expectations. These estimates require us to make assessments about future demand for the Company’s products in order to categorize the status of such inventories items as slow-moving, obsolete or in excess-of-need. These estimates are subject to the ongoing accuracy of the Company’s forecasts of market conditions, industry trends, competition and other factors.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is generally
to twelve years for computer hardware and software, to ten years for freezers, to ten years for trucks and autos, to fifteen years for furniture and equipment and over the shorter of the lease term or useful lives of the assets for leasehold improvements. Buildings are depreciated over a useful life ranging from 20 to 45 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.Betterments, renewals and extraordinary repairs that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current finance lease liabilities, and long-term finance lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using our incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and exclude any lease incentives received. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all its leases.
Business Combinations
Total consideration transferred for acquisitions is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. This purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions primarily with respect to intangible assets. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions determined by management. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as any contingent consideration, where applicable, the Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
11
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and then recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company assessed triggering events indicating potential goodwill impairment and after assessment, concluded that there was no impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Management will continue to monitor the reporting units for changes in the business environment that could impact the recoverability in future periods. The recoverability of goodwill is dependent upon the continued growth of revenue and cash flows from the Company’s business activities. Examples of events or circumstances that could result in changes to the underlying key assumptions and judgments used in our goodwill impairment tests, and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units may include the duration of the COVID-19 global pandemic, its impact on the global economy and in particular, the APAC region; the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as new sanctions against Russia, impacting the reporting units’ business activities in the EMEA region; adverse macroeconomic conditions; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impacting the results of operations and the value of foreign assets and liabilities. While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of our reporting units in excess of carrying values, if our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of patents, trademarks, software development costs and the intangible assets acquired in the Company’s recent acquisitions which include a non-compete agreement, technology, customer relationships, trade name/trademark, agent network, order backlog, developed technology and land use rights. These intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives (see Note 8). The Company uses the following valuation methodologies to value the significant intangible assets acquired: income approach for customer relationships, replacement cost for agent network and software, and relief from royalty for trade name/trademarks and developed technology. The Company capitalizes costs of obtaining patents and trademarks, which are amortized, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years once the patent or trademark has been issued.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. During the year ended December 31, 2022, due to macroeconomic factors impacting results of operations, the Company performed an impairment analysis of its amortizable intangible assets. The impairment analysis requires a comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the useful life of an asset to the carrying value of the asset. Based on the impairment analysis performed, the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the assets and therefore no impairment charge was required. There was no impairment of intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other Long-lived Assets
If indicators of impairment exist, we assess the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value. We believe the future cash flows to be received from the long-lived assets will exceed the assets’ carrying value, and accordingly, we have not recognized any impairment losses through March 31, 2023.
12
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt instruments and equity financings. Deferred financing costs related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the term of the financing instrument using the effective interest method and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as an offset against the related debt. Offering costs from equity financings are netted against the gross proceeds received from the equity financings.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”, or ASC 740. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets that would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate.
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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company’s management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the U.S. based net deferred tax assets will be realized. Therefore, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. based net deferred tax assets. With respect to the foreign based deferred tax assets, the Company’s management has reviewed these deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. Based on the weight of each jurisdiction’s evidence available, the Company’s management has made separate determinations for each foreign jurisdiction regarding whether it is more likely than not that a net deferred tax asset within a particular jurisdiction will be realized. The Company has recorded full valuation allowances in jurisdictions where deferred tax assets are not deemed more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability in jurisdictions where taxable temporary differences associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets do not support the realization of deferred tax assets with finite carryforward periods. In addition, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability in jurisdictions where taxable temporary differences exceed deductible temporary differences.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has immaterial accruals for interest or penalties on its consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and has recorded only immaterial interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., various state jurisdictions and in various foreign countries. As of March 31, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before 2019 and for California franchise and income tax examinations for years before 2018. However, to the extent allowed by law, the taxing authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses were generated and carried forward and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss carry forward amount. The Company is not currently under examination by U.S. federal or state jurisdictions. Our foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to examination three years following the year in which the tax obligation originated. The years subject to audit may be extended if the entity substantially understates corporate income tax. The Company’s subsidiary in India is currently under examination by the Indian tax authorities for 2012-2013, 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 tax periods. Other than India, the Company does not have any foreign subsidiaries currently under audit by their local taxing authorities.
On August 16, 2022, the United States enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which imposes a 1% excise tax on publicly traded U.S. corporations for the fair market value of any stock repurchased during the tax year that exceeds $1.0 million, with certain specific exceptions. The excise tax is effective for transactions occurring in taxable years after December 31, 2022.
On March 11, 2021, the United States enacted the American Rescue Plan (“ARP”). The ARP includes provisions extending certain Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provisions, repeals a worldwide interest allocation election, modifies the $1 million executive compensation limitation for years after 2026 and extends the employee retention credit. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the ARP and its impact on our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps:
13
(i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
Performance Obligations
At contract inception, an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation has been met. The Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the Company has transferred use of the asset, and the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
For arrangements under which the Company provides biological specimen storage services and logistics support and management to the customer, the Company satisfies its performance obligations as those services are performed whereby the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of such services under the agreement.
Revenue generated from short-term logistics and engineering consulting services provided to customers is recognized when the Company satisfies the contractually defined performance obligations. When a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the contract price is allocated among the performance obligations based upon the stand-alone selling prices. Approved contract modifications are accounted for as either a separate contract or as part of the existing contract depending on the nature of the modification.
Our performance obligations on our orders and under the terms of agreements with customers are generally satisfied within one year from a given reporting date and, therefore, we omit disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations on open orders.
Shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers are accounted for as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products pursuant to the accounting policy election allowed under Topic 606 and are not considered a separate performance obligation to our customers. Accordingly, the Company records amounts billed for shipping and handling as a component of revenue. Shipping and handling fees and costs are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental agencies.
Significant Payment Terms
Pursuant to the Company’s contracts with its customers, amounts billed for services or products delivered by the Company are generally due and payable in full within 15 to 60 days from the date of the invoice (except for any amounts disputed by the customer in good faith). Accordingly, the Company determined that its contracts with customers do not include extended payment terms or a significant financing component.
Variable Consideration
When a contract includes variable consideration, the Company evaluates the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. Revenues are recorded net of variable consideration, such as discounts and allowances.
14
Warranties
The Company provides product warranties with varying terms and durations for some of its products. The Company estimates product warranty costs and accrues for these costs as products are sold with a charge to cost of sales. Factors considered in estimating warranty costs include historical and projected warranty claims, historical and projected cost-per-claim, and knowledge of specific product issues that are outside of typical experience. Warranty accruals are evaluated and adjusted as necessary based on actual claims experience and changes in future claim and cost estimates.
Product warranty accrued liabilities totaled $0.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in other long-term liabilities, accounts payable and other accrued expenses. Warranty expense was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Incremental Direct Costs
Incremental direct costs are expensed when incurred when the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less; otherwise, incremental contract costs are recognized as an asset and amortized over time as promised goods and services are transferred to a customer. Incremental direct costs were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Contract Assets
Typically, we invoice the customer and recognize revenue once we have satisfied our performance obligation. Accordingly, our contract assets comprise accounts receivable, which are recognized when payment is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Generally, we do not have material amounts of other contract assets since revenue is recognized as control of goods is transferred or as services are performed.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of the Company’s performance. Deferred revenue was $1.0 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenues of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from the related contract liabilities outstanding as the services were performed.
Nature of Goods and Services
The Company provides Cryoport Express® Shippers to its customers and charges a fee in exchange for the use of the Cryoport Express® Shipper under long-term master service agreements with customers. The Company’s arrangements convey to the customers the right to use the Cryoport Express® Shippers over a period of time. The Company retains title to the Cryoport Express® Shippers and provides its customers the use of the Cryoport Express® Shipper for a specified shipping cycle. At the culmination of the customer’s shipping cycle, the Cryoport Express® Shipper is returned to the Company.
The Company recognizes revenue for the use of the Cryoport Express® Shippers at the time of the delivery of the Cryoport Express® Shipper to the end user of the enclosed materials, and at the time that collectability is probable.
The Company also provides vacuum insulated aluminum dewars and cryogenic freezers systems to its customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the equipment to a customer, and at the time that collectability is probable.
The Company also provides global temperature-controlled logistics services, support and management. Revenue is recognized for these services as services are rendered and at the time that collectability is probable.
The Company also provides comprehensive and integrated temperature-controlled biostorage solutions to customers in the life sciences industry and charges a fee under long-term master service agreements with customers. These services include (1) biological specimen cryopreservation storage and maintenance, (2) archiving, monitoring, tracking, receipt and delivery of samples, (3) transport of frozen biological specimens to and from customer locations, and (4) management of incoming and outgoing biological specimens. The Company recognizes revenue for its biostorage solutions as services are rendered over time and at the time that collectability is probable.
15
The Company also provides short-term logistics and engineering consulting services to some customers, with fees tied to the completion of contractually defined services. We recognize revenue from these services over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of these services as they are performed.
A significant portion of our revenues are covered under long-term agreements. We have determined that individual Statements of Work or Scope of Work (“SOW”), whose terms and conditions taken with a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”), create the Topic 606 contracts which are generally short-term in nature (e.g., 15-day shipping cycle) for the Cryoport Express® solutions and up to 12 months for biostorage solutions. Our agreements (including SOWs) generally do not have multiple performance obligations and, therefore, do not require an allocation of a single price amongst multiple goods or services. Prices under these agreements are generally fixed.
Revenue Disaggregation
The Company views its operations, makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and manages its business as one reportable segment and one reporting unit. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all of the material financial information related to the Company. When disaggregating revenue, the Company considered all of the economic factors that may affect its revenues. We consider sales disaggregated by end-market to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are impacted by changes in economic factors. The following table disaggregates our revenues by major markets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended | ||||||

Total revenues | $ | 62,817 | $ | 52,302 |
Given that the Company’s revenues are generated in different geographic regions, factors such as regulatory and geopolitical factors within those regions could impact the nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company’s revenues and cash flows. Our geographical revenues, by origin, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows (in thousands):

Cost of Service Revenues
Our cost of service revenues is primarily comprised of freight charges, payroll and associated expenses related to our global logistics and supply chain centers, depreciation expenses of our Cryoport Express® Shippers and supplies and consumables used for our solutions.
Cost of Product Revenues
Our cost of product revenues is primarily comprised of materials, direct and indirect labor, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving, inspection, and distribution and warehousing of inventory. In addition, shop supplies, facility maintenance costs and depreciation expense for assets used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of product revenues.
Engineering and Development Expenses
Expenditures relating to engineering and development are expensed in the period incurred to engineering and development expense in the statement of operations.
16
Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs consist of legal, accounting, third-party valuations, and other due diligence costs related to our acquisitions.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under our stockholder approved stock-based compensation plan, we have granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units that vest over four years. Incentive and non-qualified stock options expire from
to ten years from date of grant. The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with stock-based payment accounting guidance which requires all stock-based payments to be recognized based upon their fair values. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value using Black-Scholes is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and expected term. The Company accounts for forfeitures of unvested awards as they occur.The grant date fair value per share for restricted stock units is based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the award grant date.
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are discussed further in Note 14.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In periods of a net loss position, basic and diluted weighted average common shares are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock units and shares associated with the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes and convertible preferred stock outstanding during the periods.
The following shows the amounts used in computing net loss per share (in thousands except per share data):
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||

Foreign Currency Transactions
Management has determined that the functional currency of its subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at an average exchange rate for the period and the resulting translation gain (loss) adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The translation gain (loss) adjustment totaled $1.2 million, and $(1.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Foreign currency gains and losses from transactions denominated in other than respective local currencies are included in earnings.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which is intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. Supplier finance programs may also be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance, or structured payables arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2022-04 require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to disclose sufficient qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, on a retrospective basis, including interim periods with those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose roll-forward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures as the Company currently does not have supplier finance programs.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” which addresses and amends areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the accounting standard that introduced the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross write offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. For entities, such as Cryoport, that have not yet adopted the CECL accounting model in ASU 2016-13, the effective date for the amendments in ASU 2022-02 is the same as the effective date in ASU 2016-13 (i.e., fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years). We adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on the acquisition date as if the acquirer had entered into the original contract at the same date and on the same terms as the acquiree. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. We adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information for credit loss estimates on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. In addition, new disclosures are required. The ASU, as subsequently amended, is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, as the Company was a smaller reporting company as of November 15, 2019, the determination date. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. Based on the composition of the Company’s accounts receivable, investment portfolio, and other financial assets, including current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. Specifically, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses as of March 31, 2023, using its expected credit loss evaluation process described above, resulted in no adjustments to the provision for credit losses and no cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit on the adoption date of the standard.

Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Adopted at March 31, 2023
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” which amends the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. In addition, the ASU introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Acquisitions
2022 Acquisitions
In April 2022, we completed the acquisition of Cell&Co BioServices in Clermont-Ferrand, France with additional operations in Pont-du-Château, France to further enhance our existing global temperature-controlled supply chain capabilities. Cell&Co BioServices is a bioservices business providing biorepository, kitting, and logistics services to the life sciences industry. The purchase consideration was €5.7 million ($6.2 million), comprised of upfront consideration of €3.2 million ($3.5 million) in cash, 15,152 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $0.4 million, and an earn-out provision with a fair value of €2.0 million ($2.2 million) based on achieving annual EBITDA targets through 2025, as defined in the share purchase agreement. Of the purchase consideration, $2.7 million was allocated to goodwill and $3.4 million to identifiable intangible assets. The valuation of the intangible assets, contingent consideration liability and opening balance sheet are preliminary estimates subject to change as we complete our procedures. The acquired goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
In July 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Polar Expres based in Madrid, Spain, which provides temperature-controlled logistics solutions dedicated to the life sciences industry. Polar Expres operates logistics centers in Madrid and Barcelona supporting the rapidly growing life science market. This acquisition further expands CRYOPDP’s footprint which enhances our existing global temperature-controlled supply chain capabilities and provides us with additional growth opportunities in the EMEA region. The purchase consideration was €2.8 million ($2.8 million), comprised of cash consideration of €1.4 million ($1.4 million) and an earn-out provision with a fair value of €1.4 million ($1.4 million) based on achieving 2024 and 2026 EBITDA targets as defined in the share purchase agreement. Of the purchase consideration, $1.7 million was allocated to goodwill and $1.0 million to identifiable intangible assets. The valuation of the intangible assets, contingent consideration liability and opening balance sheet are preliminary estimates subject to change as we complete our procedures. The acquired goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.
In July 2022, the Company also completed the acquisition of Cell Matters based in Liège, Belgium, which provides cryo-process optimization, cryoprocessing, and cryopreservation solutions to the life sciences industry. The purchase consideration was €3.9 million ($4.0 million). The purchase consideration, including the reimbursement of financial indebtedness at the closing date, in the amount of €4.7 million ($4.7 million) in aggregate was allocated to goodwill. The value of this acquisition is assigned to Cell Matters’ assembled workforce which has significant expertise in cryo-process optimization and cryopreservation. This expertise is tied to Cryoport Systems’ new initiative to establish standardized, integrated apheresis collection, processing, biostorage, and distribution solutions for cellular therapies branded as IntegriCell(TM) to provide consistent, high-quality cellular starting material for use in the manufacture of life-saving cellular therapies. Through March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $0.1 million comprised of a refund from the sellers following payments made from Cell Matters to the sellers between the locked box date and the closing date, in accordance with the locked box mechanism as defined in the share purchase agreement. The valuation of the opening balance sheet is a preliminary estimate subject to change as we complete our procedures. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
2021 Acquisitions
In the second quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisitions of Critical Transport Solutions Australia (CTSA) in Australia and F-airGate in Belgium to further enhance our existing global temperature-controlled supply chain capabilities in the APAC and EMEA regions. The combined purchase consideration was $6.8 million, of which $2.7 million was allocated to goodwill and $2.8 million to identifiable intangible assets. The combined purchase consideration also included a contingent consideration liability of $0.7 million. The acquisitions include earnout provisions subject to achieving future EBITDA targets through 2025 and certain employment requirements, as defined in the share purchase agreements. The goodwill amount represents synergies related to our existing logistics
19
management services. Through June 30, 2022, the Company recorded combined measurement period adjustments of $0.8 million, mainly comprised of deferred tax adjustments. The acquired goodwill and intangible assets are not deductible for tax purposes.

The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to enhance overall returns in an efficient manner while maintaining safety of principal, prudent levels of liquidity and acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy limits interest-bearing security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with primarily investment-grade credit ratings, and it places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class and issuer.
We review our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below our cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below our cost basis, as well as adverse conditions related specifically to the security such as any changes to the credit rating of the security and the intent to sell or whether we will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Our assessment of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future based on new developments or changes in assumptions related to that particular security.
The following table shows the Company’s gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2023:

For U.S. Treasury notes, the unrealized losses were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the U.S. Treasury notes to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2023. For corporate debt securities, the unrealized losses were primarily caused by interest rate increases. The Company does not intend to sell these debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. Based on the credit quality of the debt securities, and the Company’s estimates of future cash flows to be collected from those securities, the Company believes the unrealized losses are not credit losses. Accordingly, the Company does not consider the corporate debt securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 we had realized losses of $(0.09) million and $(0.05) million on available-for-sale investments, respectively.
Equity Investments
We held investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values of $101.3 million at March 31, 2023. These investments consist of mutual funds that invest primarily in tax-free municipal bonds and treasury inflation protected securities.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
We measure fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market 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 assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in the assessment of fair value.
We did not elect the fair value option, as allowed, to account for financial assets and liabilities that were not previously carried at fair value. Therefore, material financial assets and liabilities that are not carried at fair value, such as trade accounts receivable and payable, are reported at their historical carrying values.
22
The carrying values of our assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 approximate fair value because of our ability to immediately convert these instruments into cash with minimal expected change in value which are classified in the table below in one of the three categories of the fair value hierarchy described above (in thousands):

Our equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities, including U.S. treasury notes and U.S. treasury bills are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
We did not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023.
We carry the Convertible Senior Notes (see Note 9) at face value less the unamortized discount and issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets and present fair value for disclosure purposes only. We estimate the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes using the net present value of the payments, discounted at an interest rate that is consistent with market and risk-adjusted interest rates, which is a Level 2 input.

Under the terms of the CTSA acquisition, contingent consideration may be payable in cash based on the achievement of a certain EBITDA target for 2024, with no maximum limit as to the contingent consideration achievable. Under the terms of the F-airGate, Cell&Co, and Polar Expres acquisitions, contingent consideration may be payable in cash based on the achievement of certain future revenue and/or EBITDA targets during each annual period following the acquisition dates for a total of four years, up to a maximum of $6.1 million (undiscounted) in the aggregate. The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured at the end of each reporting period using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the contingent consideration for the F-airGate and Polar Expres acquisitions was determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The fair value of the contingent consideration for the CTSA and
23
Cell&Co acquisitions was valued based on unobservable inputs using a Monte Carlo simulation. These inputs included the estimated amount and timing of projected future revenue, a discount rate, a risk-free rate, asset volatility and revenue volatility. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The contingent consideration was determined to have an aggregate fair value of $4.8 million and $4.7 million which is reflected as contingent consideration liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Certain assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the contingent consideration are uncertain by nature. Actual results may differ materially from estimates.

The Company’s 2025 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes payable of $14.3 million and $402.5 million, respectively, are due and payable in 2025 and 2026, respectively.
2026 Senior Notes
On November 12, 2021, the Company issued $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”), which includes the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional $52.5 million principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2026 Senior Notes are governed by an indenture (the “2026 Indenture”) dated November 12, 2021 between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Company received $390.4 million from the offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $12.1 million, and incurred approximately $0.6 million in third-party offering related costs. The 2026 Senior Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 0.75%, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2022 and will mature on December 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Senior Notes. At March 31, 2023, accrued interest of $1.0 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The 2026 Senior Notes comprise the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2026 Senior Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Noteholders may convert their 2026 Senior Notes at their option into shares of the Company’s common stock in the following circumstances: (1) before the close of business on the business day immediately before September 1, 2026, noteholders have the right to convert their 2026 Senior Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., if sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a number of trading days; upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; if the Company calls the 2026 Senior Notes for redemption); and (2) from and after September 1, 2026, noteholders may convert their 2026 Senior Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election. The 2026 Senior Notes are initially convertible into approximately 3,422,780 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the initial conversion rate of 8.5038 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $117.59 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. Also, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2026 Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time and is determined by reference to a make-whole table set forth in the 2026 Indenture. However, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 12.3304 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal
26
amount of 2026 Senior Notes. In addition, the holders of the 2026 Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase the 2026 Senior Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest following the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as described in the 2026 Indenture).
The 2026 Senior Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 6, 2024 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding 2026 Senior Notes unless at least $100.00 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Senior Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any 2026 Senior Notes for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to the 2026 Senior Notes, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that 2026 Senior Notes will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted during the related redemption conversion period.
The 2026 Senior Notes contain customary terms and events of default. If an event of default involving bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization events with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2026 Senior Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other event of default (as defined in the 2026 Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then, the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2026 Senior Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect, at its option, that the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the 2026 Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the 2026 Senior Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% on the principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes. There were no events of default at March 31, 2023.
The 2026 Senior Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”) and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 815-40, to qualify for equity classification (or nonbifurcation, if embedded) the instrument (or embedded feature) must be both (1) indexed to the issuer’s stock and (2) meet the requirements of the equity classification guidance. Based upon the Company’s analysis, it was determined the 2026 Senior Notes do contain embedded features indexed to its own stock, but do not meet the requirements for bifurcation and recognition as derivatives, and therefore do not need to be separately recognized. Accordingly, the proceeds received from the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes were recorded as a single liability measured at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company incurred approximately $12.6 million of debt issuance costs relating to the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to the 2026 Senior Notes on the consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized and recognized as additional interest expense over the expected life of the 2026 Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. We determined the expected life of the debt is equal to the five-year term of the 2026 Senior Notes. The effective interest rate on the 2026 Senior Notes is 1.39%.
2025 Senior Notes
In May 2020, the Company issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”), which includes the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional $15.0 million principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The 2025 Senior Notes are governed by an indenture (the “2025 Indenture”) dated May 26, 2020 between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee The Company received $111.3 million from the offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $3.7 million, and incurred approximately $0.3 million in third-party offering related costs. The 2025 Senior Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 3.00%, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020 and will mature on June 1, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Senior Notes. At March 31, 2023, accrued interest of $0.1 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The 2025 Senior Notes comprise the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future
27
indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 2025 Senior Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.
At any time before the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, holders of the 2025 Senior Notes may convert their 2025 Senior Notes at their option into shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2025 Senior Notes were initially convertible into approximately 4,810,002 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the initial conversion rate of 41.8261 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $23.91 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. Also, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time and is determined by reference to a make-whole table set forth in the 2025 Indenture. However, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 48.10 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes. In addition, the holders of the 2025 Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase the 2025 Senior Notes at par value plus accrued and unpaid interest following the occurrence of a “Fundamental Change” (as described in the 2025 Indenture).
On or after June 5, 2023, we may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes at our option, in whole and not in part, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if:
(1) | The last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice; and |
(2) | A registration statement covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Senior Notes is effective and available for use and is expected to remain effective and available during the redemption period as of the date the redemption notice is sent. |
The 2025 Senior Notes contain customary terms and events of default. If an event of default arising out of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization involving the Company or a significant subsidiary (as set forth in the 2025 Indenture) occurs with respect to the Company, the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will automatically become immediately due and payable. If any other event of default (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice to the Company. There were no events of default at March 31, 2023.
The 2025 Senior Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”) and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 815-40, to qualify for equity classification (or nonbifurcation, if embedded) the instrument (or embedded feature) must be both (1) indexed to the issuer’s stock and (2) meet the requirements of the equity classification guidance. Based upon the Company’s analysis, it was determined the 2025 Senior Notes do contain embedded features indexed to its own stock, but do not meet the requirements for bifurcation and recognition as derivatives, and therefore do not need to be separately recognized. Accordingly, the proceeds received from the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes were recorded as a single liability measured at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company incurred approximately $4.1 million of debt issuance costs relating to the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to the 2025 Senior Notes on the consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized and recognized as additional interest expense over the expected life of the 2025 Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method. We determined the expected life of the debt is equal to the five-year term of the 2025 Senior Notes. The effective interest rate on the 2025 Senior Notes is 3.74%.
On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated note purchase agreements with a limited number of holders of its 2025 Senior Notes pursuant to which the Company repurchased approximately $100.7 million principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $351.1 million, which includes accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased 2025 Senior Notes. The Company used net proceeds from a registered direct placement of its common stock
28
to holders of its 2025 Senior Notes, together with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, to repurchase the $100.7 million principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes (see Note 13). This transaction involved contemporaneous exchanges of cash between the Company and the same limited number of holders of the 2025 Senior Notes participating in the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes. Accordingly, we evaluated the transaction for modification or extinguishment accounting depending on whether the exchange is determined to have substantially different terms. The repurchase of the 2025 Senior Notes and issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes were deemed to have substantially different terms based on the present value of the cash flows. Therefore, the repurchase of the 2025 Senior Notes was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The Company recorded $251.8 million as loss on extinguishment of debt on its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, which includes the write off of related deferred financing costs of $2.6 million. The total remaining principal amount outstanding under the 2025 Senior Notes as of March 31, 2023 was $14.3 million.
In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to use its best efforts to file a registration statement for the resale of the 2025 Senior Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2025 Senior Notes, to cause the registration statement to become effective by January 31, 2021, and to keep the registration statement continuously effective for a specified period of time. In December 2020, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement to register the resale of the 2025 Senior Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2025 Senior Notes. If the Company fails to satisfy certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement (a “Registration Default”), it will be required to pay additional interest on the 2025 Senior Notes. Such additional interest will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the principal amount thereof for the first 90 days beginning on, and including the date on which such Registration Default occurs and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% of the principal amount thereof. However, in no event will such additional interest, together with any special interest that accrues pursuant to the 2025 Indenture accrue on any day on a note at a combined rate per annum that exceeds 0.50%. Additionally, if a Registration Default exists on the maturity date for the 2025 Senior Notes, then, in addition to any additional interest otherwise payable, the Company will be required to make a cash payment to each noteholder in an amount equal to 3% of the principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes outstanding and held by such holder as of the close of business on the business day immediately before the maturity date. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not accrued any fees or expenses associated with the Registration Rights Agreement as no Registration Default exists and, therefore, it is not probable that a payment would be required.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
MVE Biological Solutions Fire
On January 25, 2022, a fire occurred at the MVE Biological Solutions manufacturing facility (“New Prague fire”) located in New Prague, Minnesota. The New Prague facility manufactures aluminum dewars and is one of MVE Biological Solutions’ three global manufacturing facilities. There were no injuries reported and damage was limited to a portion of the facility. As a consequence of the fire damage, the New Prague manufacturing operations were curtailed on an interim basis until the necessary repairs were completed. Production was resumed at the facility during the week of February 14, 2022 and ramped up production toward the end of the first quarter of 2022. The Company estimated that the revenue impact of the New Prague fire was approximately $9.4 million and was primarily limited to the first quarter of 2022.
The New Prague fire resulted in a loss of inventory, fixed assets, and other contents at the site. We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance under which we filed a claim with the insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2023, the Company received a total of $15.1 million in insurance proceeds, of which the final payment of $2.2 million was received in the first quarter of 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized gains of $2.6 million related to business interruption. Proceeds from insurance settlements, except for those directly related to investing activities, were recognized as cash inflows from operating activities. The losses related to such an event are recognized as incurred. Insurance proceeds are recorded to the extent of the losses and then, only if recovery is realized or probable. Any gains in excess of losses are recognized only when the contingencies regarding the recovery are resolved, and the amount is fixed or determinable.
Facility and Equipment Leases
We lease various principal facilities which include corporate, global logistics and supply chain centers, biostorage, manufacturing, and research and development facilities under operating leases in the United States, including in Tennessee, California, New Jersey, Texas, and Georgia, and internationally in the Netherlands, Portugal, and France. These lease agreements contain certain scheduled annual rent increases which are accounted for on a straight-line basis. In addition, we lease certain equipment which expires through February 2025 (See Note 11).
31
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our officers under which payment and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by us for any reason other than cause, or upon a change in control of our Company, or by the employee for good reason.
Litigation
The Company may become a party to product litigation in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for open claims based on its historical experience and available insurance coverage. We record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. The outcomes of our legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for a particular period.
Indemnities and Guarantees
The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the States of California and Nevada. In connection with its facility and equipment leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities and equipment. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies and is generally tied to the life of the agreements.
Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity
Authorized Stock
The Company has 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 2,500,000 undesignated or “blank check” preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001, of which, 800,000 shares have been designated as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, 585,000 shares have been designated as Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and 250,000 shares have been designated as 4.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
Repurchase Program
In March 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) through December 31, 2025, authorizing the repurchase of common stock and/or convertible senior notes in the amount of up to $100.0 million from time to time, on the open market or otherwise, in such quantities, at such prices, and in such manner as determined by the Company’s management at its discretion. The size and timing of any repurchase will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal requirements. The Company purchased 1,604,994 shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program during the year ended December 31, 2022, at an average price of $23.63 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $37.9 million. These shares were returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. All share repurchases were made using cash resources and are reported in the period based on the settlement date of the applicable repurchase. No shares were purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
November 2021 Registered Direct Placement and Stock Purchase Agreements
Concurrent with the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes in November 2021, the Company conducted a registered direct placement of 3,072,038 shares of its common stock at $81.10 per share (“Concurrent Placement”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $248.9 million, net of offering expenses. The Company used the net proceeds from the Concurrent Placement, together with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, to repurchase approximately $100.7 million principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes in separate, privately negotiated repurchase transactions with a limited number of holders of the 2025
32
Senior Notes, for a cash repurchase price of approximately $351.1 million. The remainder of the net proceeds of approximately $288.4 million, after deducting banker fees, will be used for general corporate purposes (See Note 9).
January 2021 Public Offering
On January 25, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 4,356,059 shares of its common stock. The shares were issued and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated January 20, 2021, by and among the Company, on the one hand, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC, SVB Leerink LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of certain underwriters at a public offering price per share of $66.00, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The shares include 568,181 shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriting agreement. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $269.8 million from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company.
Blackstone Private Placement
In connection with the MVE Acquisition, on October 1, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a private placement with an investment vehicle of funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group Inc. (collectively, “Blackstone”), consisting of (i) 250,000 shares of a newly designated 4.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), at a price of $1,000 per share, for $250.0 million, and (ii) 675,536 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, for $25.0 million, for an aggregate purchase price of $275.0 million. The Company paid Blackstone $1.0 million as reimbursement for transactional expenses incurred in connection with the private placement at the Closing Date. Also, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of approximately $8.6 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses. The Company allocated the net proceeds of $265.4 million on a relative fair value basis to the Series C Preferred Stock and the common stock, resulting in allocated proceeds of $28.2 million and $237.2 million, respectively.
The Series C Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company (a “Liquidation”). The Series C Preferred Stock has the following rights, preferences and privileges:
Dividend Rights. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Holders”) are entitled to dividends at the rate of 4.0% per annum, paid-in-kind, accruing daily and paid quarterly in arrears when and if declared by the Board of Directors. The Holders are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the common stock on an as-converted basis. The Company and Holders do not have the option to pay dividends in kind, in cash, or in other form. Paid in-kind dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were $2.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
Liquidation Preference. Upon a Liquidation, each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) the amount that the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive at such time if the Series C Preferred Stock were converted into common stock (the “Liquidation Preference”).
Conversion Features. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the Holders at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $38.6152 per share and a conversion rate of 25.90 shares of common stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock. At the Closing Date, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be required to be issued if converted was 6,474,135 shares. The conversion price is subject to certain customary adjustments in the event of certain adjustments to the Company’s common stock, including stock dividends, splits, combinations, tender offers, and exchange offers.
After the second anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain conditions, the Company may at its option require conversion of all of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock to common stock if, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date the Company notifies the Holders of the election to convert, the closing price of the Common Stock is at least 150% of the conversion price.
On the October 1, 2020 issuance date, the effective conversion price per share was less than the fair value of the underlying common stock and, as a result, the Company determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature on that date. Accordingly, the Company recognized the resulting beneficial conversion feature amount of $39.5 million as a deemed dividend, equal to the number of common shares into which the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible multiplied by the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the effective conversion price per share on that date. Because the Series C Preferred Stock does not have a stated conversion
33
date and was immediately convertible at the issuance date, the dividend is reflected as a one-time, non-cash, deemed dividend to the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on the date of issuance.
Additionally, the Company determined that the nature of the Series C Preferred Stock is more akin to an equity instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion options are clearly and closely related to the Series C Preferred Stock. As such, the conversion options were not required to be bifurcated from the host under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Since the paid-in-kind dividends are nondiscretionary, the Company measures the beneficial conversion feature of the paid-in-kind dividends on the issuance date of the preferred stock and records such amount when the paid-in-kind dividends are accrued. Accordingly, the associated paid-in-kind dividends for the year ended December 31, 2020 generated a beneficial conversion feature amount of $0.3 million. On February 5, 2021, the Company received a waiver and conversion notice from Blackstone Freeze Parent L.P. and Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Fund – FD L.P. and converted an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock (see “—Blackstone Conversion” below for additional information).
Redemption Rights. The Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock for cash, as follows:
(1)At any time beginning five years after the Closing Date (but prior to six years after the Closing Date), all of the Series C Preferred Stock at a price equal to 105% of the purchase price paid plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
(2)At any time beginning six years after the Closing Date, all of the Series C Preferred Stock at a price equal to 100% of the purchase price paid plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.
Upon a “Fundamental Change” (involving a change of control or de-listing of the Company as further described in the Certificate of Designation), each Holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any part of the Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. If the Company does not have sufficient funds legally available to pay the repurchase price, then the Company is required to (a) pay the maximum amount of the repurchase price that can be paid out of funds legally available for payment, and (b) purchase any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock not purchased because of the foregoing limitations at the repurchase price as soon as practicable after the Company is able to make such purchase out of assets legally available for the purchase of such shares. If the Company fails to pay the repurchase price in full when due, then the Company will pay dividends on such shares not repurchased at a rate of 5.5% per annum until such shares are repurchased, payable quarterly in arrears.
The Company evaluated the Series C Preferred Stock for liability or equity classification under the applicable accounting guidance including ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the Series C Preferred Stock did not meet the definition of the liability instruments defined thereunder for convertible instruments. Specifically, the convertible preferred shares are not mandatorily redeemable and do not embody an obligation to buy back the shares outside of the Company’s control in a manner that could require the transfer of assets. Additionally, the Company determined that the Series C Preferred Stock would be recorded as permanent equity given that they are not redeemable for cash or other assets (i) on a fixed or determinable date, (ii) at the option of the holder, or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within control of the Company.
The Company also evaluated the embedded put and call options within the Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the accounting guidance for derivatives to determine if bifurcation is required. The Company determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded put and call options are not clearly and closely related to the Series C Preferred Stock. Therefore, the Company assessed the put and call options further and determined they did not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815.
Under the same analysis, the Company determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded participating dividend feature are considered clearly and closely related to the equity host. Accordingly, the participating dividend feature is not required to be bifurcated under ASC 815. Also, the Company determined that the value of the contingent dividend feature is minimal and insignificant relative to the other components of the Series C Preferred Stock due to the circumstances surrounding the scenarios under which the provision would be triggered.
Voting Rights. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are generally entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, subject to certain Nasdaq voting limitations, if applicable. Also, the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock is required with respect to (i) amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) issuances by the Company of securities
34
that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series C Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have the right to nominate for election one member to the board of directors of the Company for so long as they hold 66.67% of the Series C Preferred Stock issued to them at the Closing Date.
Registration Rights. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have certain customary registration rights with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of common stock into which they are converted, pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement. The Company is required to file within 90 days of the Closing Date, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to go effective as promptly as practicable, a registration statement covering the sale or distribution of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. In December 2020, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement to register the resale of the common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.
Blackstone Conversion
On February 5, 2021, the Company received a waiver and conversion notice from Blackstone Freeze Parent L.P. and Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Fund – FD L.P. to convert an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the waiver and conversion notice, the Company also agreed to waive its right under the certificate of designations of the Series C Preferred Stock to redeem up to 50,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock prior to the 180-day anniversary of October 1, 2020, the issue date of the Series C Preferred Stock. The forgoing conversion, effective as of February 5, 2021, resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 1,312,860 shares of common stock and $1.8 million in expenses.
Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance
As of March 31, 2023, approximately 17.9 million shares of common stock were issuable upon vesting, conversion or exercise of stock options, restricted stock units, the Senior Notes and the series C Preferred Stock, as follows:
Exercise of stock options |
| 7,484,324 |

Stock Options
We have five stock incentive plans: the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), and the 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), (collectively, the “Plans”). The 2002 Plan, the 2009 Plan, the 2011 Plan and the 2015 Plan (the “Prior Plans”) have been superseded by the 2018 Plan. In May 2018, the stockholders approved the 2018 Plan for issuances up to an aggregate of 3,730,179 shares plus 1,269,821 shares that were authorized but unissued under the Prior Plans as of the effective date of the 2018 Plan and in April 2021, the stockholders approved an increase of 2,850,000 shares authorized under the 2018 Plan. The Prior Plans will remain in effect until all awards granted under such Prior Plans have been exercised, forfeited, cancelled, or have otherwise expired or terminated in accordance with the terms of such awards, but no awards will be made pursuant to the Prior Plans after the effectiveness of the 2018 Plan. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 1,495,103 shares available for future awards under the 2018 Plan.
35
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we granted stock options at exercise prices equal to the quoted market price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using Black-Scholes with the following weighted average assumptions:
March 31, | ||||
| 2023 |
| 2022 | |
Expected life (years) | 4.2 - 5.2 | 4.2 - 5.2 | ||
Risk-free interest rate |
| 3.5% - 3.6% | 2.1% - 2.3% | |
Volatility |
| 73.0% | 72.8% - 76.8% | |
Dividend yield |
| 0% | 0% |
The expected option life assumption is estimated based on the simplified method. Accordingly, the Company has utilized the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options to calculate the expected option term. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of our employee stock options. The expected volatility is based on the average of the historical volatility and the implied volatility of our stock commensurate with the expected life of the stock-based award. We do not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.
We recognize stock-based compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that ultimately vest.
Total stock-based compensation expense related to all of our share-based payment awards is comprised of the following:

Overview
Cryoport is a global leader serving the life sciences industry as a provider of integrated temperature-controlled supply chain solutions supporting the life sciences in the biopharma/pharma, animal health, and reproductive medicine markets. Our mission is to support life and health worldwide through comprehensive, innovative, and highly differentiated temperature-controlled solutions, including apheresis collection and cryoprocessing, global logistics, technologically sophisticated packaging, biostorage and bio-services, informatics, and cryogenic systems for regenerative medicine, cellular therapies, and life science products and treatments that require unique, specialized temperature-controlled management.
38
With 48 strategic international locations, Cryoport’s global platform provides mission-critical solutions to over 3,000 customers working in biopharma/pharma, animal health, and reproductive medicine companies, universities, research institutions, and government agencies. Our platform of solutions and services together with our global team of over 1,000 dedicated colleagues delivers a unique combination of innovative supply chain technologies and services through our industry-leading brands, including Cryoport Systems, IntegriCellTM, CryoStork®, MVE Biological Solutions, CRYOPDP, and CRYOGENE.
Cryoport’s advanced temperature-controlled supply chain platform is designed to support the global distribution of high-value commercial biologic and cell-based products and therapies regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Association (EMA) and other international regulatory bodies. Cryoport’s solutions are also relied upon for the support of pre-clinical, clinical trials, Investigational New Drug Applications (IND), Biologics License Applications (BLA), and New Drug Applications (NDA) with the FDA, as well as global clinical trials initiated in other geographies, where strict regulatory compliance and quality assurance is mandated.
Over the last several years, we have grown to become a leader in supporting the clinical trials and commercial launches of cell and gene therapies globally. As of March 31, 2023, we supported 652 clinical trials, of which 82 were in Phase 3, and ten (10) commercial therapies. We believe regenerative medicine advanced therapies that successfully advance through the clinical trial process and receive commercial approval from the respective regulatory agencies will represent opportunities to become significant revenue drivers for us as the majority of them will require comprehensive temperature-controlled supply chain support and other services at commercial scale. Additionally, we expect that most will select us as their critical supply chain solution partner as a result of our work in connection with their respective clinical trials and our long track record of innovation and market responsiveness.
In addition, Cryoport also supports the animal health market and the human reproductive market on a global basis with its advanced supply chain platform. The animal health market is mainly composed of supporting animal husbandry, as well as companion and recreation animal health. The human reproductive market is largely composed of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) support for patients and clinics.
Cryoport’s mission is to enable the life sciences to save and improve lives around the world by providing certainty throughout the temperature-controlled supply chain. Our people, innovative solutions, and industry leading technologies have been designed to exceed current standards to deliver certainty and de-risk the process across the entire temperature-controlled supply chain for the life sciences.
The Markets We Serve
Cryoport serves the life sciences industry as a trusted provider of integrated temperature-controlled supply chain solutions supporting the biopharma/pharma, animal health, and reproductive medicine markets.
Biopharma/Pharma. In the biopharma/pharma market, we are focused on supporting biopharma/pharma companies, primarily, in the saving of lives. From clinical research and development to clinical research organizations, to clinical trials for cell and gene therapies, to the storage and delivery of life-saving commercial cell and gene therapies, to the customers of biopharmaceutical /pharmaceutical organizations, to crucial points of care, we strive to address fundamental to advanced temperature-controlled storage, transport, packaging, fulfillment, and information challenges. Cell and gene therapies have become a rapidly growing area of biological drug development, with over $12 billion in funding raised in 2022. There were 1,457 cell and gene therapy developers worldwide, as reported by the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM) in its State of the Industry Briefing published on January 9, 2023. These developers have certain supply chain challenges that we believe our solutions are well tailored to address.
● | Cell Therapies. As per ARM, cell therapy is “the administration of viable, often purified cells into a patient’s body to grow, replace, or repair damaged tissue for the treatment of a disease. Cell therapies may be autologous, meaning that the patient receives cells from their own body, or they may be allogeneic, meaning the patient receives cells from a donor. Allogeneic cell therapies are often referred to as off-the-shelf therapies, as they are derived from a donor who is not the patient, enabling advance preparation and available to the patient immediately at the time of need.” |
● | Gene Therapies. As per ARM, “gene therapy seeks to modify or introduce genes into a patient’s body with the goal of durably treating, preventing, or potentially even curing disease, including several types of cancer, viral diseases, and inherited disorders.” |
39
Animal Health. In the animal health market, we provide support for animal reproduction, which primarily involves the production of protein. We also support medicine for the health of recreational and companion animals. Animal disease prevention and control rely on the safe transport and storage of vaccines and other biological materials around the world. Our secure temperature-controlled supply chain solutions are designed to help avoid costly delays through nonstop monitoring and complete fleet management from and to the origin and destination points as well as provide cryobiological storage equipment.
Reproductive Medicine. In the human reproductive medicine market, we are focused on supporting the creation of human life. This is primarily accomplished by supporting IVF, and related technologies, along with fertility networks globally. IVF materials receive one-on-one handling and individualized attention during the entire logistics process.
Impact of COVID-19
In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has since spread globally. Subsequently, new variants of COVID-19, which are significantly more contagious than previous strains, have emerged. The spread of these new strains initially caused many government authorities and businesses to reimplement prior restrictions, or impose new restrictions, in an effort to lessen the spread of COVID-19 and its variants. While many of these restrictions have been lifted, there continues to be significant uncertainty related to the ultimate duration and impact that this global pandemic will have on future results of our operations, including due to future actions that may be taken by government authorities and businesses in response to surges in COVID-19 cases. Further, virus containment efforts as a result of governmental actions or policies or other initiatives have led to the disruption in the global supply chain and as a result, we have experienced difficulties sourcing materials and equipment, have experienced delays in transportation and increased transportation costs and may incur additional direct costs to provide our solutions in the future. See “Risk Factors—Risk Related to Our Business—We depend on the availability of certain component products used in our solutions; delays or increased costs in the procurement of components manufactured by third parties could adversely affect our business operations, financial performance and results of operations, and we may experience customer dissatisfaction and harm to our reputation” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report for additional information. Additionally, during the course of the pandemic, certain of our facilities have experienced disruptions such as our MVE Biological Solutions manufacturing facility in Chengdu, China that was temporarily impacted by COVID lockdowns in China during the third quarter of 2022 and similar disruptions could occur in the future.
We continue to monitor the evolving situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may take further actions required by governmental authorities or that we determine are prudent to support the well-being of our employees, customers, suppliers, business partners and others. The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our business operations, financial performance and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, continuously evolving and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and its variants; its severity; the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, such as the availability and efficacy of vaccines (particularly with respect to emerging strains of the virus), and the potential hesitancy to utilize them; other protective actions taken to contain the virus or trat its impact, such as restrictions on travel and transportation; general economic factors, such as increase inflation; supply chain constraints; labor supply issues; and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. See “Risk Factors—Risk Related to Our Business. Our business operations, financial performance and results of operations, have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic” and the other risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2022 Annual Report for additional information.
MVE Biological Solutions Fire
On January 25, 2022, a fire occurred at the MVE Biological Solutions manufacturing facility located in New Prague, Minnesota (“New Prague fire”). The New Prague facility manufactures aluminum dewars and is one of MVE Biological Solutions’ three global manufacturing facilities. There were no injuries reported and damage was limited to a portion of the facility. As a consequence of the fire damage, the New Prague manufacturing operations were curtailed on an interim basis until the necessary repairs were completed. Production was resumed at the facility during the week of February 14, 2022 and ramped up production toward the end of the first quarter of 2022. The Company estimated a revenue impact of approximately $9.4 million, primarily limited to the first quarter of 2022.
The New Prague fire resulted in a loss of inventory, fixed assets, and other contents at the site. We have adequate property damage and business interruption insurance under which we filed a claim with the insurance carrier. As of March 31, 2023, the Company received a total of $15.1 million in insurance proceeds, of which the final payment of $2.2 million was received in the first quarter of 2023.
40
Russian Invasion of Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military actions against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Additionally, the U.S. and foreign government bodies in jurisdictions in which we operate have implemented targeted sanctions and export control measures and have announced potential additional sanctions and export control measures, which have and could in the future result in, among other things, severe or complete restrictions on exports to and other commerce and business dealings involving Russia, certain regions of Ukraine, and/or particular entities and individuals. The impact of these government measures, as well as any further retaliatory actions taken by Russia and the U.S. and foreign government bodies, is currently unknown. Potential impacts related to the conflict could include additional unilateral or multilateral export control and sanctions measures, market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, supply chain and logistics disruptions, adverse global economic conditions resulting from escalating geopolitical tensions and the exclusion of Russian financial institutions from the global banking system, volatility and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and heightened cybersecurity threats, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, in particular, CRYOPDP’s business activities in Russia, as well as our other European business operations.

Revenues. Revenues increased by $10.5 million, or 20.1%, from $52.3 million to $62.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase over the prior year period was a result of the recovery from the New Prague Fire that has negatively impacted the first quarter of 2022 by approximately $9.4 million. The New Prague facility manufactures aluminum dewars and is one of MVE Biological Solutions' three global manufacturing facilities. In addition, the revenue for three months ended March 31, 2023 was positively impacted by the continuing robust demand for Cryoport’s supply chain solutions, particularly in support of commercial cell therapies and increased demand in the animal health and reproductive medicine markets, and partially offset by the adverse impacted of foreign currency fluctuations of approximately 2.3% or $1.4 million.
Service revenues increased by $2.9 million, or 8.9%, from $32.9 million to $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was driven by strong customer demand for our supply chain solutions provided by Cryoport Systems, CRYOPDP, and CRYOGENE.
Product revenues increased $7.6 million, or 39.1%, from $19.4 million to $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a recovery from the New Prague Fire that led to approximately $9.4 million in revenue loss for the quarter in 2022. Product revenues consists primarily of revenue from our portfolio of cryogenic stainless-steel freezers, aluminum dewars and related ancillary equipment used in the storage and transport of life sciences commodities, which includes the rapidly growing cell and gene therapy market through a global network of distributors and direct client relationships.
Revenues by market
Revenue from the biopharma/pharma market increased $8.1 million, or 18.9%, from $43.0 million to $51.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was driven by revenue growth from the support of global clinical trials and commercially launched therapies as well as general demand for our logistics and biostorage services, in addition to the impact of the New Prague Fire of approximately $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. We now support 652 clinical trials, of which 502 trials are in the Americas, 108 are in EMEA and 42 are in APAC, compared to 609 clinical trials supported as of March 31, 2022 (477 in the Americas, 99 in EMEA and 33 in APAC). The number of Phase III clinical trials supported increased to 82 trials as of March 31, 2023, of which 58 are in the Americas, 22 are in EMEA, and 2 are in APAC. This compares to 81 Phase III trials (57 in the Americas, 22 in EMEA and 2 in APAC) supported as of March 31, 2022. The activity in the clinical trial space, particularly in the Cell and Gene Therapy market is expected to drive future revenue growth as these clinical trials advance and resulting therapies are commercialized on a global basis.
Our revenue from the animal health market increased $2.1 million, or 30.4%, from $6.8 million to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to the impact of the New Prague Fire of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. This New Prague manufacturing facility ramped back up to full production by the end of March 2022.
Revenues in the reproductive medicine market increased $0.3 million, or 13.4%, from $2.5 million to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was driven by demand for our CryoStork® logistics solution and cryogenic shippers.
Gross margin and cost of revenues. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 43.1% of total revenues, as compared to 42.7% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of total revenues increased $5.8 million to $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $30.0 million in the same period in 2022.
Gross margin for our service revenues was 46.8% of service revenues, as compared to 43.1% of service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our cost of revenues is primarily comprised of freight charges, payroll and associated expenses related to our global logistics and supply chain centers, depreciation expenses of our Cryoport Express® Shippers and supplies and consumables used for our solutions.
Gross margin for our product revenues was 38.2% of product revenues, as compared to 42.0% of product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was driven by unfavorable manufacturing variances, primarily as a result of inflationary pressures related to certain manufacturing costs and the buildup of safety stock during the second half of 2022, partially offset by favorable product mix. Product revenues, related cost of revenues and resulting gross margins were primarily driven by our MVE Biological Solutions business. Our cost of product revenues were primarily comprised of materials, direct and indirect labor, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving, inspection, and distribution and warehousing of inventory. In addition, shop supplies, facility maintenance costs and depreciation expense for assets used in the manufacturing process were included in cost of product revenues.
42
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include the costs associated with selling our products and services and costs required to support our marketing efforts including legal, accounting, patent, shareholder services, amortization of intangible assets and other administrative functions.
For the first quarter of 2023, SG&A expenses increased by $6.6 million, or 24.9% as compared to the first quarter of 2022. This increase is driven by the further build out of our competencies and infrastructure to support the continuing scaling of our business and demand for Cryoport’s systems and solutions. Wages and associated employee costs increased $3.3 million from $11.5 million in 2022 to $14.7 million in 2023. Facility and other overhead allocations increased $1.0 million, primarily driven by our facility expansions in Houston, Texas and Morris Plains, New Jersey, stock compensation expense increased $0.9 million, depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, primarily due to additional fixed assets purchased or acquired in our recent business acquisitions. There was also an increase in integration and acquisition costs of $1.0 million as compared to the same period in 2022. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in public company-related expenses (including legal, audit and internal control audit fees) of $0.9 million.
Engineering and development expenses. Engineering and development expenses increased $0.3 million, or 9.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.2 million in wages and associated employee costs to add software development and engineering resources and facility costs and other overhead allocations of $0.1 million. We continually strive to improve and expand the features of our Cryoport Express® Solutions and portfolio of services and suite of temperature-controlled products. Our primary developments are directed towards facilitating the safe, reliable and efficient transport and storage of life science commodities through innovative and technology-based solutions. This includes significantly enhancing our Cryoportal® Logistics Management Platform and related technology solutions as well as developments to expand our Cryoport Express® and Cryoport ELITE™ shipper fleet, such as the Cryosphere™ shipper, a cryogenic dry-vapor shipper utilizing patent pending technology that passively stabilizes the payload through an internal gravitational sphere, thereby further mitigating transport risks. In addition, engineering and development efforts are also focused on MVE Biological Solutions’ portfolio of advanced cryogenic stainless-steel freezers, aluminum dewars and related ancillary equipment used in the storage and transport of life sciences commodities. We supplement our internal engineering and development resources with subject matter experts and consultants to enhance our capabilities and shorten development cycles.
Investment Income. Investment income increased by $1.2 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year as a result of higher average invested cash balances and higher interest rates on such invested cash balances.
Interest expense. Interest expense remained flat at $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net increased by $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year primarily due to a gain on insurance claim of $2.6 million related to the New Prague fire and net unrealized gains of $1.4 million on short-term investments and foreign currency fluctuations. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 there were unrealized losses of $4.9 million on short-term investments and foreign currency fluctuations.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of negative 9.7% and negative 2.6%, respectively. The increase in tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the prior year is due to higher taxable foreign earnings and a decrease in our domestic losses. The negative effective tax rate of 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance that we maintain against our deferred tax assets, income earned by certain foreign subsidiaries being taxed at different rates than the U.S. federal statuary rate, and excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation.
Paid-in-kind dividend on Series C convertible preferred stock. The paid-in-kind dividend relates to the private placement of Series C Preferred Stock with Blackstone.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide adjusted EBITDA and revenue at constant currency, both non-GAAP financial measures, as supplemental measures to U.S. GAAP measures regarding our operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and revenue at constant currency, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
43
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, investment income, unrealized gain or loss on investments, foreign currency gain or loss and charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events.
Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of our operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into our ongoing operating performance. Further, management and our board of directors utilize adjusted EBITDA to gain a better understanding of our comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, when read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financials, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results, including results of operations, against investor and analyst financial models, identifying trends in our underlying business and performing related trend analyses, and it provides a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below.

Revenue at Constant Currency
We believe that revenue growth is a key indicator of how our Company is progressing from period to period and we believe that the non-GAAP financial measure “revenue at constant currency” is useful to investors in analyzing the underlying trends in revenue. Under U.S. GAAP, revenues received in local (non-U.S. dollar) currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for the period presented. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the results of our operations and the value of our foreign assets and liabilities, which in turn may adversely affect results of operations and cash flows and the comparability of period-to-period results of operations. When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated local currency revenues for the current reporting period into U.S. dollars using the same average foreign currency exchange rates for the conversion of revenues into U.S. dollars that we used to translate local currency revenues for the comparable reporting period of the prior year.
Recent fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including the increased strength of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan, and Indian Rupee has adversely impacted our results of operations and cash flow from our operations in EMEA and APAC. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our revenues would have been approximately $1.4 million higher in constant currency.
However, we also believe that data on constant currency period-over-period changes have limitations, particularly as the currency effects that are eliminated could constitute a significant element of our revenue and could significantly impact our performance. We therefore limit our use of constant currency period-over-period changes to a measure for the impact of currency fluctuations on the
44
translation of local currency revenue into U.S. dollars. We do not evaluate our results and performance without considering both period-over-period changes in non-GAAP constant currency revenue on the one hand and changes in revenue prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on the other. We caution the readers of this report to follow a similar approach by considering revenue on constant currency period-over-period changes only in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, changes in revenue prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $38.5 million, $484.1 million in short-term investments and had working capital of $563.1 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses in the foreseeable future and to incur operating losses in the near term while we make investments in new supply chain initiatives, geographic expansion and technology to support our anticipated growth. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities and debt instruments.
The Company’s management recognizes that the Company may need to obtain additional capital to fund its operations and potential acquisitions until sustained profitable operations are achieved. Additional funding plans may include obtaining additional capital through equity and/or debt funding sources. No assurance can be given that additional capital, if needed, will be available when required or upon terms acceptable to the Company. The Company’s management believes that, based on its current plans and assumptions, the current cash and cash equivalents on hand, short-term investments, together with projected cash flows, will satisfy our operational and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Operating activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our operating activities provided cash of $2.8 million, reflecting the net loss of $5.6 million offset by non-cash expenses of $10.5 million primarily comprised of $6.4 million of depreciation and amortization, $5.2 million of stock-based compensation, $1.1 million of non-cash operating lease expense, insurance proceeds of $1.2 million for operations related to the fire at our New Prague, Minnesota manufacturing plant in January 2022 which was partially offset by a gain on the insurance settlement of $2.6 million and unrealized gains of $1.5 million on our equity securities. Also contributing to the cash impact of our net operating loss, excluding non-cash items, was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.4 million, and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $1.0 million, which were partially offset by an increase in accrued compensation of $2.0 million and a decrease in inventory of $1.2 million.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the $9.6 million for the capitalization of software development costs for our Cryoportal® Logistics Management Platform, and additional purchases of Cryoport Express® Shippers, Smart Pak IITM Condition Monitoring Systems, freezers and computer equipment. These uses of cash were partially offset by the maturity of short-term investments of $7.9 million and insurance proceeds of $1.0 million for the loss of fixed assets in connection with the fire at our New Prague, Minnesota manufacturing plant.
Financing Activity
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily as a result of $0.1 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Repurchase Program
On March 11, 2022, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) through December 31, 2025, authorizing the repurchase of common stock and/or convertible senior notes in the amount of up to $100.0 million from time to time on the open market or otherwise, in such quantities, at such prices, and in such manner as determined by the Company’s management at its discretion. The size and timing of any repurchase will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal requirements. The Company purchased 1,604,994 shares of its common stock under the Repurchase Program through December 31, 2022, at an average price of $23.63 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $37.9 million. These shares were returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our long-term debt. Our long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and fluctuations in interest rates do not impact our consolidated financial statements. However, the fair value of our debt, which pays interest at a fixed rate, will generally fluctuate with movements of interest rates, increasing when interest rates are declining and declining when interest rates are increasing. We invest our excess cash in high investment grade money market funds and investment grade short to intermediate-term fixed income securities. Fixed income securities may have their fair market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, and we may suffer losses if forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes was $316.4 million. For additional information about the Convertible Senior Notes, see Note 9 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We operate in the United States and other foreign countries, which creates exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Net sales and related expenses generated from our international business are primarily denominated in the functional currencies of the corresponding subsidiaries and primarily include Euros, British Pounds, Chinese Yuan, and Indian Rupee. The results of operations of, and certain of our intercompany balances associated with, our internationally focused business are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Upon consolidation, as foreign exchange rates vary, revenues and other operating results may differ materially from expectations and we may record material gain or losses on the remeasurement of intercompany balances. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenues from our international business, which accounted for 38% of our consolidated revenues, decreased by $1.6 million in comparison with the same period in the prior year as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates is derived by applying the average currency rates for the same period of the prior year to the current period revenues.
We have foreign exchange risk related to foreign-denominated cash and cash equivalents. Based on the balance as of March 31, 2023, of $24.5 million, an assumed 5%, 10%, and 20% adverse change to foreign exchange would result in declines of $1.2 million, $2.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
We have foreign exchange risk related to our long and short-term foreign-denominated intercompany loan balances. Based on the long-term intercompany loan balances as of March 31, 2023, an assumed 5%, 10%, and 20% adverse change to foreign exchange rates would result in losses of $4.2 million, $8.4 million, and $16.8 million respectively, recorded to “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Based on the short-term intercompany loan balances of March 31, 2023, an assumed 5%, 10% and 20% adverse change to foreign exchange rates would result in losses of $1.7 million, $3.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively, reported as “Other income (expense), net”.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.
47
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we are at times subject to various legal proceedings and disputes, including product liability claims. We currently are not aware of any such legal proceedings or claim that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or cash flows. It is our practice to accrue for open claims based on our historical experience and available insurance coverage.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2022 Annual report which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risk factors do not identify all of the risks that we face. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial.
