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
DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) (“Scorpius” or “the Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), today provided strategic, financial, and operational updates for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
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. The decrease of $2.0 million was primarily due to decreases in consultant services of $1.1 million, professional services of $0.4 million, sales and marketing of $0.2 million, and stock-based compensation of $0.3 million.
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.

Due to a trading halt, as of Friday, August 9, 2024, and until further notice, Scorpius Holdings, Inc., (CUSIP 42237K508) is no longer eligible for stock loan or collateral pledge at OCC (The Foundation for Secure Markets). Only share reducing transactions will be allowed on outstanding stock loan and borrow positions. Any equity pledges for collateral purposes will receive no value. If you have any questions regarding this memo, please contact your firm’s designated credit risk representative.
Maybe no trading until the letter goes out to shareholders?
Spike the price to $3-4 and the margin calls will roll?
Offering terminated until shareholders are notified via mailing.
So, 1.6 million shares traded with only 400,000 outstanding?
Cancel the offering and demand shorts to cover?
Could this be a time when a halt works for current shareholders?

I wonder if and when this might trade again? Has anyone heard anything? I tried to e mail, but no answer!
Thanks
No skin in the game, just watching for a good entry.
Did you short the stock upon hearing of the offering and seeing it trade above $1 ?
No phone # listed , all that's available is an email address for a pr firm . Shocking....
Well, it's the next day and still halted.
Possibly all trades will be reversed and the company will have another (smaller) offering tomorrow.
Edit: called the IR number in news release and received no response.
Someone with big pockets complained about their ownership % being decimated by such an offering.
Could be why it's halted.
I think the halt is perhaps more to do with 12,500,000 shares offered vs. Current outstanding of 493,268 shares.
Unfortunately in this case they have to price the offering at a price people/investors are willing to pay .....
I wonder why $1 when it was over $5
I’m shocked
Nevermind, I see the offering filing.
Rather confused as to why it is halted.
Also note the stock didn't trade that low (relative to offering price).
Usually stocks trade at discount to offering price basically instantly.
Fake offering news?
Stock halted and note the bottom of the offering news mentions the old company name (email address), but other recent news releases have the proper company name email address?

NEWS -- Scorpius Holdings Set to Launch First Mammalian cGMP Campaign at San Antonio Facility in the 2024 3rd Quarter
DURHAM, N.C., July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SCPX), (“Scorpius” or the “Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced that the Company expects to launch its first cGMP mammalian manufacturing campaign at its San Antonio manufacturing facility in the 3rd quarter of 2024. This milestone highlights the expansion of the Company’s biomanufacturing capabilities, particularly in the field of mammalian cell culture production for advanced biopharmaceuticals.
Scorpius has previously initiated cGMP activities in its microbial facilities, and the commencement of mammalian cGMP campaigns marks a significant development as it opens additional revenue streams for the Company’s CDMO operations. Scorpius boasts a dedicated mammalian cell culture facility with cGMP-compliant controlled cleanrooms illustrating Scorpius' commitment to providing tailored and adaptable manufacturing solutions.
Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius, remarked, “I am extremely proud of what our team has accomplished in a short period of time. Our manufacturing and quality teams have worked exceptionally hard to get our mammalian facilities operational in less than two years, well ahead of the typical timing for such complex buildouts. Scorpius is now extremely well-positioned to support a wide range of early-stage clinical programs."
“Our focus at Scorpius is providing each client the personalized attention and systematic flexibility they deserve. Our facility's design includes cleanrooms with mobile equipment, allowing for easily customized configurations to meet the specific needs of each project. Our strategy is to expand our scope of services as our clients advance their respective programs through clinical development. Looking ahead, Scorpius has already secured bookings for additional cGMP activities in the mammalian building for 2025, demonstrating the demand and confidence in our expanded capabilities,” concluded Mr. Wolf.
