CHASKA, Minn., Aug. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFCR) (“Lifecore” or the “Company”), a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), reported results for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and full year ended May 28, 2023.
CEO COMMENTS
James G. Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lifecore, commented, "We completed a very busy fourth quarter finalizing our transition to a stand-alone life sciences company with the final divestitures of the Curation Foods segment, strong growth in our development portfolio, and the comprehensive strategic refinancing and expanded supply agreement with our key customer Alcon. Our entire organization is now aligned toward a common goal of expanding Lifecore's position as a leading, fully integrated CDMO that offers highly differentiated capabilities in the development, fill and finish of complex sterile injectable pharmaceutical products in syringes and vials and injectable grade Hyaluronic Acid ("HA")."
Mr. Hall continued, "We advanced our development portfolio in the fiscal fourth quarter with the addition of five projects affiliated with five new customers, which demonstrates the impact that our expanded commercial strategy and targeted sales approach is having on our opportunity pipeline. Concurrently, we are preparing our organization for the significant anticipated growth embedded in our portfolio, both in terms of capacity and people. To that end, our multi-use fillers remain on track for delivery in the coming months which will allow us to double our theoretical filling capacity to approximately 45 million units and put Lifecore in a great position to meet market needs and optimize our production across our manufacturing footprint. We also invested in our HA fermentation capacity during the fourth quarter and are in the process of moving from a single-shift fermentation production staff to a full 24/7 staffing model, which we expect will increase our sterile HA capacity by up to 50% by June 2024, allowing us to fulfill the increased HA volume orders associated with our expanded demand."
"Looking ahead to our fiscal 2024 first quarter, our commercial momentum has continued, and we will add several new projects to our development portfolio for the period ended August 27, 2023. We believe this activity will begin to meaningfully contribute to our financial performance in fiscal 2024 second quarter and to a greater degree in the second half of the fiscal year."

Revenues increased $3.4 million year-over-year, which was primarily a result of a $3.9 million increase in Lifecore segment revenues.
Gross profit decreased $4.3 million year-over-year, which was driven by a $5.0 million decrease in the Lifecore segment and a $0.7 million increase in the Curation Foods segment.
Net loss from continuing operations was $33.8 million for fiscal fourth quarter 2023, which includes $6.8 million of restructuring and non-recurring charges, net of taxes, related to consolidating and optimizing operations associated with the Company's strategy to divest its Curation Foods businesses.

Lifecore is the Company’s CDMO business focused on product development and manufacturing of sterile injectable products. Lifecore continues to expand its presence in the robust CDMO marketplace by utilizing its specialized capabilities to partner with and provide value-added services to biopharmaceutical and medical device companies. Lifecore continues to seek to drive growth with a focus on building its business development pipeline, maximizing capacity and advancing product commercialization for innovative new therapies that improve patients’ lives.
In the fiscal fourth quarter 2023, Lifecore realized total revenues of $31.5 million, representing an increase of 14.2% as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 38.2% increase in its HA raw material manufacturing (fermentation) business and an 8.6% increase in its CDMO business. The increase in HA raw material manufacturing revenue was primarily due to the higher demand in the current year. The increase in CDMO revenues was primarily due to the timing of customer shipments, as well as a higher mix of earlier phase development projects onboarded at the earlier lower initial revenue stage.
Lifecore's development pipeline in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by five to 29 active development programs under contract as of the end of the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter. These projects are delineated as follows: early phase or proof of concept (seven projects), Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical development (eight projects), and Phase 3 clinical development or scale-up/commercial validation activity (fourteen projects). Lifecore currently manufactures 29 commercial products for 14 clients, which is unchanged from fiscal third quarter 2023.

CASH FLOW & BALANCE SHEET
Cash used in operations was $34.5 million for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2023 compared to $23.2 million in the prior year period. Cash provided by investing activities decreased $84.1 million compared to the prior year period to $4.2 million used in investing activities in 2023, primarily due to the timing of Curation Foods' businesses dispositions. Capital expenditures were $20.8 million for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2023 which were primarily focused on investing in Lifecore’s long-term growth initiatives. The results for fiscal year 2023 and 2022 included herein reflect adjustments to increase capitalized interest by $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which have the effect of increasing capital expenditures and reducing interest expense by offsetting amounts for the respective periods. These adjustments remain subject to the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements, including with respect to any final adjustments to capitalized interest for those periods. Cash provided by financing activities was $56.1 million for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2023, driven primarily by the previously announced sale of common and convertible preferred stock and proceeds from the debt refinancing.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $19.1 million as of May 28, 2023. Total term debt, net of cash, at May 28, 2023, was $147.2 million, consisting of its line of credit, term debt and debt derivative liability associated with the new term debt, compared to $137.2 million in the prior year. With the debt refinancing in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, debt has been characterized as a long-term liability as compared to a current liability in the prior year.
As previously announced, on May 22, 2023, the Company entered into $150 million of new credit arrangements with Alcon, including a six-year credit agreement and a sale and leaseback of certain HA fermentation equipment which replaced its existing term loan. The term facility bears interest at the rate of 10%, which is payable in kind (“PIK”) for the first three years, and payable 3% in cash interest and 7% PIK interest thereafter until maturity. Alcon and the Company also entered into an equipment sale and leaseback transaction related to certain HA fermentation assets, with a lease term of ten years, subject to certain repurchase rights.
