Scorpius Holdings CEO Provides Corporate Update; Highlights Expanding Sales Pipeline, Enhanced Manufacturing Capabilities, and Path Toward Positive Cash Flow

DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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."
