NEWS -- Scorpius Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results, Highlighting Strategic Partnerships, Cost Savings, and Progress Toward Profitability
Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), today provided a strategic, financial, and operational update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius Holdings, Inc., stated, “Scorpius continued to make strides in Q3, driven by key partnerships, disciplined financial management, and growth across our manufacturing and development services. We are proud to report a 142% year-over-year increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reaching $5.2 million, which illustrates the demand for our services and the successful expansion of our client base. Alongside this revenue growth, we achieved a 23.5% reduction in operating expenses for the nine months, a reflection of our commitment to financial discipline and cost optimization. Our ongoing cost savings initiatives, expected to exceed $2 million annually, have strengthened our foundation and keep us on track to achieve positive cash flow. These actions, coupled with our recent client wins and government engagements, position us well to capture new high-margin opportunities in both the government and biopharmaceutical sectors.”
Wolf added, “The new clients we onboarded this quarter demonstrate Scorpius' reputation as a trusted biomanufacturing partner for early-stage and clinical development. These agreements further highlight our ability to support companies with secure, U.S.-based solutions for development and manufacturing needs. These partnerships are indicative of our growing influence in the industry and our role as a resource for companies seeking flexible, responsive CDMO services.”
“Additionally, our selection to join the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC) underscores Scorpius' commitment to advancing U.S. biosecurity. As a member of the MCDC, Scorpius is now eligible to collaborate on a range of medical countermeasures addressing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. Furthermore, the passage of the BIOSECURE Act in the House of Representatives on September 9, 2024, highlights the importance of strengthening the U.S. biomanufacturing sector, a mission that aligns closely with our own commitment to supporting public health and national defense through high-quality, domestic biomanufacturing capabilities.”
Concluding, Wolf stated, “Our future looks promising with a weighted average pipeline of business development opportunities now exceeding $100 million across diverse sectors. As we look ahead, we are focused on expanding our service offerings, utilizing our state-of-the-art GMP facility to its full potential, and driving long-term value for our shareholders. The momentum we have built this year has positioned the Company to become a leading CDMO, and we are excited to capitalize on the growth and opportunities that lie ahead.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.9 million of revenue, primarily from process development services, compared to $0.7 million of CDMO revenue recognized in the 2023 comparable quarter. The increase in CDMO revenue is attributable to the completion of process development services over a larger number of customer contracts.
Cost of revenues were $0.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and primarily consisted of the direct cost of labor, overhead and material costs at Scorpius. The increase in cost of revenues is due to the expanded service offerings and completed milestone work on multiple CDMO contracts.
Research and development expenses were $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.6 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily due to decreases in consultant services of $0.8 million, sales and marketing of $0.3 million, stock-based compensation of $0.3 million, partially offset by increases in rent of $0.3 million, professional services of $0.3 million, personnel of $0.1 million, and public company expenses of $0.1 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable, related party increased by $0.2 million, prior to its reclassification to related party receivable.
Total non-operating expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of $0.7 million from the loss on partial debt extinguishment, $0.2 million of interest expense on finance leases, $0.1 million from the change in fair value of the convertible and non-convertible promissory notes to a related party, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in change in fair value of related party receivable. Total non-operating expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of $0.2 million of interest expense partially offset by $0.1 million of interest income.
Net loss attributable to Scorpius was approximately $10.1 million, or ($1.43) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to approximately $13.1 million, or ($100.82) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $4.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of November 14, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $0.8 million.

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO"), today commended the U.S. House of Representatives on the passage of the BIOSECURE Act (the “Act”), a pivotal piece of legislation passed with strong bipartisan support following a 306-81 vote earlier this week.
The Act is designed to ensure the security of America’s pharmaceutical supply chain, strengthen national biosecurity, and improve overall preparedness for future public health emergencies. The Act now moves to the U.S. Senate, representing a critical step in bolstering the country's biotechnology and biomanufacturing infrastructure to ensure long-term public health resilience in the face of challenges from America’s adversaries.
The BIOSECURE Act aims to secure the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain by restricting U.S. Government-funded drug developers from contracting with select China-based biomanufacturing companies of concern for production of their drugs. The Act is designed to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign owned and operated biomanufacturing supply chains which will enhance national security and generate more on-shoring jobs focused on improving robustness in us health care systems.
Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius, stated, “We owe a debt of gratitude to Reps. Wenstrup, Krishnamoorthi, and Moolenaar for their leadership in advancing the BIOSECURE Act, that enhances America’s health security and protects our supply chain from foreign threats. The BIOSECURE Act enables Scorpius to leverage our expertise and resources to support America’s biopharmaceutical companies that collaborate with the U.S. Government in the production of their drugs. We believe that our cutting-edge biomanufacturing expertise, purpose-built capabilities, combined with our modern US-based production facilities gives us a distinct advantage in addressing the changing demands of biopharmaceutical companies and government agencies tasked with managing biological threats. We are fully dedicated to fast-tracking the development of medical countermeasures and delivering scalable, forward-thinking solutions that protect public health and reinforce national security.
"The BIOSECURE Act enhances our ability to deliver impactful, timely responses in critical moments of need. With the passage of the BIOSECURE Act, we foresee significant opportunities to further expand our already robust pipeline of projects. As a result of this legislation, we expect a growing demand for domestic production capabilities and biomanufacturing services, positioning Scorpius as a key partner for pharmaceutical companies navigating these changes,” concluded Mr. Wolf.

NEWS -- Scorpius Holdings CEO Provides Corporate Update; Highlights Expanding Sales Pipeline, Enhanced Manufacturing Capabilities, and Path Toward Positive Cash Flow
Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO"), today released a letter to shareholders from its CEO Jeff Wolf:
"We are excited to share an update on Scorpius as we continue to position the company to take a lead role in catering to the rapidly growing biologic and cell therapy markets. Over the past several years, we have made significant investments designed to establish Scorpius as a leading biologic manufacturing CDMO. Notably, we have expanded our mammalian and microbial production capability to enable us to offer a broad range of biologic manufacturing services to our customers. Our robust investments and ongoing efforts have already resulted in a threefold increase in revenue for the first half of 2024. Our current sales pipeline now includes more than $100 million in weighted opportunities across the biopharmaceutical and government sectors.
Given the extensive opportunities before us, we recently completed a financing, raising approximately $14.4 million in gross proceeds. These funds will enable us to better service our existing clients as well as attract larger prospective customers as we diversify our customer base with a strong mix of commercial and government opportunities. Additionally, we have started transitioning several key clients from the process development phase into full-scale manufacturing, enabling an additional revenue stream and marking a significant shift in our operational focus.
We believe that Scorpius is now exceptionally well-positioned to service new and existing clients, expand its service offering and achieve positive cash flow in the near future. Given these overarching goals, we are taking steps to align senior executive compensation with our growth objectives, contingent on meeting sales targets and booking goals.
We’ve built and staffed a state-of-the-art CDMO with a scalable and high-margin business model. Scorpius’ profile and reputation for quality biomanufacturing is indeed growing in the industry. With the closing of this financing, we are now well positioned to deliver significant returns to our shareholders in the years to come."

NEWS -- Scorpius Holdings Achieves 16% Year-Over-Year Increase in Revenue for the Second Quarter of 2024
Reduces operating expenses by 25%
Pipeline surpasses $100 million in weighted opportunities across the government and manufacturing sectors

Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius Holdings, Inc., stated, “We are extremely proud of the progress Scorpius achieved in the second quarter of 2024. Despite facing a quarter with significant working capital challenges, our revenues still increased by 16% and we reduced our operating expenses by 25% over the same period last year. With our recently completed financing, we now have a much stronger balance sheet to capitalize on a number of exciting projects in front of us. We anticipate this funding will not only allow us to accelerate our revenue growth but should enable us to achieve our goal of positive cash flow.”
“Our success this year highlights the significant progress we’ve made in both innovation and customer-focused program management across our service platforms. This progress is most clearly reflected in the strength of our pipeline, which now surpasses $100 million in weighted opportunities across the government and manufacturing sectors. We anticipate closing many of these opportunities by year’s end. As we look ahead, we are confident in our ability to sustain this momentum as we continue to execute our strategic initiatives and deliver value to our shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.8 million of revenue, primarily from process development, compared to $0.7 million of process development revenue recognized in the 2023 comparable quarter. The increase in process development revenue is attributable to the completion of services over a larger number of customer contracts.
Cost of revenues were $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and primarily consisted of the direct cost of labor, overhead and material costs at Scorpius. The increase in cost of revenues is due to the expanded service offerings and completed milestone work on multiple CDMO contracts.
Research and development expenses were $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.0 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was no change in fair value of contingent earn-out receivable, related party.
Total non-operating expense was ($0.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of $0.6 million from the loss on disposal of leasehold improvements, $0.2 million of interest expense on finance leases, partially offset by $0.2 million from gain on partial extinguishment of debt. Total non-operating expense was ($0.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of ($0.2) million of interest expense, ($0.1) million of loss on disposal of equipment, partially offset by ($0.1) million of interest income.
Net loss attributable to Scorpius was approximately $8.9 million, or ($26.98) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $13.9 million, or ($106.67) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of August 19, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $13.2 million.

NEWS -- Scorpius Holdings Weighted-Average Pipeline Surpasses $100 Million in Business Develop Opportunities Across Both Manufacturing Client and Government Sectors
Anticipates substantial booked business and associated revenues in Q3/Q4
DURHAM, NC / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2024 / Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American:SCPX), ("Scorpius" or the "Company"), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced that it has surpassed $100 million in weighted average pipeline of its near-term business development opportunities across both government and manufacturing client sectors. The weighted average pipeline is represented by written proposals which are subject to the execution of definitive agreements. The Company expects these opportunities to translate into substantial booked business and associated revenues over the next two quarters; however there can be no assurance of this.
Key opportunities include:
Several new manufacturing customers within the current quarter have significantly progressed within our weighted pipeline
Multiple repeat client booking opportunities that may carry over into 2025, representing an anticipated $15 million in additional bookings
Multiple opportunities for expanded scope of work with existing clients, including
A single project that could consume a majority of Scorpius' microbial production capacity and trigger capacity expansion activities in the Company's 2025 microbial production suites
Anticipated substantial project expansion with one of the nation's leading universitiesGovernment proposals submitted to fund an additional Bio Safety Level 3 capable facility along with several innovative monoclonal antibody development programsJeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius Holdings, commented, "We are extremely proud of our progress, as evidenced by the breadth and depth of our pipeline representing these business development opportunities. We expect to close on many of these opportunities before the year's end, which we expect will not only generate substantial revenue this year and next, but also contribute significantly to our cash flow. We believe our success is due to the strides we've made in terms of innovation, as well as customer-centric program management across our platform of services. We look forward to building on this momentum in the months ahead."
