See the “Business” section in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K for additional information.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation generally impacts us by increasing our costs of labor, material, transportation and pricing from third party manufacturers. The rates of inflation have not had a material impact on our financial statements in the past. Based on the current economic outlook, inflationary pressures could affect our financial performance in the future if cost increases cannot be offset by net realized annual price increases and productivity gains.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
We have two reportable segments: Life Sciences Services and Life Sciences Products. The Company’s Life Sciences Services reportable segment, which aggregates two operating segments (BioLogistics and BioStorage/BioServices), provides temperature-controlled logistics, biostorage and bioservices within the life science industry through direct sales. Cryopreservation services are included in the BioLogistics operating segment. Revenue from the Life Sciences Services reportable segment is primarily comprised of Life Sciences Services revenue, but also includes certain immaterial revenue from the sale of accessories that constitute Life Sciences Products revenue. The Company’s Life Sciences Products reportable segment manufactures and sells cryogenic systems, such as freezers and cryogenic dewars and related ancillary accessories used in the storage and transport of life science commodities through direct sales or a distribution network. Revenue from this reportable segment is exclusively Life Sciences Products revenue. See Note 19 – Segment Reporting to our consolidated financial statements included under Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information about our segments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we have identified the policies and estimates below as being critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These policies require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The impact of and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including in the “Results of Operations” section, where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgements are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and most demanding of our judgment. We consider the following policies and estimates to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows: Revenue Recognition, Discontinued

See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included under Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
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: (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 since the Company has satisfied its performance obligations related to the successful delivery. In instances where the customer has elected to use their own courier services, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the shipper to the customer.
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.
Discontinued Operations
We review the presentation of planned business dispositions in the consolidated financial statements based on the available information and events that have occurred. The review consists of evaluating whether the business meets the definition of a component for which the operations and cash flows are clearly distinguishable from the other components of the business, and if so, whether it is anticipated that after the disposal the cash flows of the component would be eliminated from continuing operations and whether the disposition represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations and financial results. In addition, we evaluate whether the business has met the criteria as a business held for sale. In order for a planned disposition to be classified as a business held for sale, the established criteria must be met as of the reporting date, including an active program to market the business and the expected disposition of the business within one year.
32
Table of Contents
Planned business dispositions are presented as discontinued operations when all the criteria described above are met. For those divestitures that qualify as discontinued operations, all comparative periods presented are reclassified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations. These reclassifications have no impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated net income (loss).
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are comprised of trade name/trademarks acquired in the Company’s acquisitions, and are tested for impairment annually using a relief from royalty method that relies on estimates of future revenues, royalty rates, and discount rates. If the asset is not found to be recoverable, it is written down to the estimated fair value. As a result of an interim impairment assessment performed as of June 30, 2024, we recorded a $9.0 million impairment charge related to trademarks for our MVE reporting unit, and a $0.3 million impairment charge related to the write-off of Cell&Co’s trade name that is no longer in use as a result of the Company’s global rebranding initiative, see Note 10 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information. The Company has performed a quantitative impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2025 and concluded that there has been no impairment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets for the periods presented.
Intangible assets with a definite life are comprised of patents, trademarks, software development costs and the intangible assets acquired in the Company’s acquisitions which include a non-compete agreement, technology, customer relationships, trade name/trademark, agent network, order backlog, developed technology and land use rights. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, see Note 10 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information. The Company uses the following valuation methodologies to value the significant intangible assets with a definite life 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 with a definite life 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 undiscounted 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. The Company has performed a quantitative impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2025 and concluded that there has been no impairment of our intangible assets with a definite life for the periods presented.
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. For each reporting unit being tested, 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. As a result of our 2023 quantitative assessment, we concluded that goodwill related to the MVE reporting unit was impaired as of December 31, 2023, and recorded an impairment charge of $49.6 million in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of an interim impairment assessment performed as of June 30, 2024, we concluded that the goodwill related to the MVE reporting unit was further impaired, and recorded an impairment charge of $54.6 million related to full impairment of the goodwill related to the MVE reporting unit in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, see
33
Table of Contents
Note 10 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information. As a result of our 2025 quantitative assessment, we concluded that goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2025.
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 include adverse macroeconomic or geopolitical 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.
Convertible Senior Notes
The Convertible 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 Convertible 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 Convertible Senior Notes were recorded as a single liability measured at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-based Compensation
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date. 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 our 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.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate our tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Revenue. Revenue increased by $19.4 million, or 12.4%, to $176.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $156.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Revenue by type
Life Sciences Services revenue increased by $14.5 million, or 17.6%, from $82.0 million to $96.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was driven by year-over-year growth in BioLogistics Solutions revenue and BioStorage/BioServices revenue of 16.6% and 22.2%, respectively, demonstrating strong demand for our services offerings. Revenue from the support of commercial cell and gene therapies included in BioLogistics Solutions revenue was $29.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 23.9% year-over-year increase from $24.1 million in the prior year. We also continued to gain clinical trial market share with Cryoport supporting a total of 760 clinical trials globally at year end 2025, of which 86 of these clinical trials were in phase 3, representing an overall increase of 59 clinical trials from 701 clinical trials at year end 2024.

Table of Contents
We continue to lead the way in providing advanced temperature-controlled supply chain solutions designed to support the development of cell and gene therapies and our future growth.
Life Sciences Products revenue increased by $5.0 million, or 6.6%, from $74.7 million to $79.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. Life Sciences Products revenue 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 CGT market through a global network of distributors and direct client relationships. The increase in Life Sciences Products revenue was primarily driven by increased demand from customers in the EMEA and APAC regions and strong demand from animal health customers in the Americas. Revenue from the support of commercial cell and gene therapies included in Life Sciences Products revenue was $3.5 million and $1.8 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Gross margin and cost of revenue. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 47.1% of total revenue, as compared to 44.4% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cost of total revenue increased $6.0 million to $93.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $87.1 million in the same period in 2024.
Gross margin of Life Sciences Services revenue increased to 48.8% from 46.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of a favorable revenue mix shift toward higher-margin offerings, including BioServices and BioStorage and the Company’s cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2024 and refined throughout 2025 as part of its pathway to profitability strategy. Our cost of services revenue was primarily comprised of freight charges, facility expenses, 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 of Life Sciences Products revenue increased to 45.2% from 41.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily driven by manufacturing efficiency improvements within the MVE Biological Solutions operating segment. Our cost of products revenue was 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 products revenue.
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 year ended December 31, 2025, SG&A expenses decreased by $7.0 million, or 6.4% as compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases in stock compensation of $5.4 million, contingent consideration of $4.3 million, and consulting costs of $2.1 million. These decreases were offset by increases facility and other overhead allocations of $3.6 million, and wages and associated employee costs of $2.2 million.
Engineering and development expenses. Engineering and development expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 3.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in development costs, consulting and prototype expenses and a decrease of $0.6 million in stock compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in wages and associated employee costs to add software development and engineering resources. We continually strive to improve and expand the features of our portfolio of temperature-controlled services and 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® Digital Logistics Management Platform and related technology solutions as well as developments to expand our Cryoport Express® and shipper fleets. 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.
Impairment loss. As a result of the interim impairment assessment performed as of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $63.8 million, primarily related to full impairment charge of goodwill related to the MVE Biological Solutions reporting unit.

Investment Income. Investment income decreased by $0.1 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.6 million, from $4.0 million to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year due to a decrease in interest on the convertible senior notes and amortization of the related debt discount as a result of the repayment of the 2025 Convertible Senior Notes upon maturity in June 2025.
Gain on extinguishment of debt. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased $185.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes for a repurchase price of $163.1 million in cash, plus accrued and unpaid interest, resulting in a net gain of $18.5 million, which includes the write off of $2.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and $0.7 million of transaction costs.
Other income (expense), net. The increase in other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year is primarily due to a decrease of $4.3 million in short-term investment net unrealized loss, a decrease of $2.1 million in current period foreign currency loss, and $1.5 million increase in non-recurring income, offset by a decrease of $2.5 million for currency revaluation.
Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year, resulting in effective tax rates of negative 5.6% and negative 0.3%, respectively. The increase in tax expense and the decrease in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year is due to changes in the valuation allowances on our foreign operations, a tax benefit from the reduction of the deferred tax liability on indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the impairment and an increase in our domestic losses which resulted in no additional tax benefit. The effective tax rate of negative 5.6% for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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, the expiration of a portion of our US federal net operating loss carryforwards due to IRC Section 382 and the relative mix of income earned by certain foreign subsidiaries being taxed at different rates than the U.S. federal statuary rate.
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.
Discontinued operations. Revenue from discontinued operations decreased by $39.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year. The Company recorded two quarters of revenue from discontinued operations in 2025, compared with a full year of revenue in 2024. Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax increased by $122.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, due to the divestiture of the CRYOPDP business in the second quarter of 2025.
Net income (loss). Net income (loss) increased by $193.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the gain on divestiture of the CRYOPDP business of $117.0 million recorded in 2025, and the impairment loss of $63.8 million recorded in 2024, which did not reoccur in 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased by $12.0 million from a negative $17.8 million to a negative $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to gross margin expansion and reduced operating expenses resulting from the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. Adjusted operating costs declined as a result of headcount reductions, lower contractor utilization, project reprioritization, and tighter expense management across the organization. These actions collectively contributed to a meaningful year-over-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA as the Company continued to align its cost structure with current industry conditions and position the business for sustainable profitability.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental measure 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 from continuing operations, should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as loss from continuing operations adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration costs, cost reduction initiatives, investment income, unrealized gain or loss on investments, foreign currency gain or loss, net gain on extinguishment of debt, impairment loss, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and charges or gains resulting from non-recurring events, as applicable.
Management believes adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations to gain a better understanding of our comparative operating performance from period-to-period and as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is also a significant performance measure used by us in connection with our incentive compensation programs. Management believes adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, 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 from continuing operations to loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $250.5 million, short-term investments of $160.7 million and working capital of $257.2 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses for 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. Following the divestiture of the CRYOPDP business, we also expect to use the net proceeds from the divestiture for general corporate purposes.

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, which include the repayment of the 2026 Convertible Senior Notes at maturity, 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 year ended December 31, 2025, our operating activities used $8.6 million of cash, reflecting the net income of $78.3 million offset by non-cash gains of $73.2 million primarily comprised of $117.0 million of gain on divested business and $5.2 million change in contingent consideration, which was partially offset by $27.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $11.0 million of stock-based compensation, $6.6 million of non-cash operating lease expense, and $2.2 million of realized loss on available-for-sale investments. Also contributing to the cash used in operating activities, excluding non-cash items, was an increase in accounts receivable of $6.5 million, a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $5.0 million, a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $3.5 million, and an increase in inventories of $2.2 million, which were partially offset by an increase in accrued compensation and related expenses of $1.9 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.4 million.
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities of $250.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the proceeds from the divestiture of the CRYOPDP business of $210.2 million and the maturity of short-term investments of $59.6 million. These proceeds were partially offset by facility expansions (including leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment) and additional purchases of Cryoport Express® Shippers, Smart Pak IITM Condition Monitoring Systems, freezers and computer equipment for $16.4 million, software development costs of $1.8 million, and patent and trademark costs of $1.2 million.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $21.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of $14.3 million paid for the repayment of 2025 Convertible Senior Notes and $10.0 million paid for the repurchase of common stock, partially offset by proceeds of $4.0 million from the exercise of stock options.
