ORGS Orgenesis Inc

Orgenesis Inc. (NASDAQ: ORGS) (“Orgenesis” or the “Company”), a global biotech company working to unlock the full potential of cell and gene therapies, today provided a business update for first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Recent highlights:

• Expanded POCare with Johns Hopkins University through creation of the Maryland Center for Cell Therapy Manufacturing
• Reached milestone in collaboration with Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús in Madrid
• Awarded €4M European Innovation Council Pathfinder Grant

Vered Caplan, CEO of Orgenesis, said, “We are completing the first phase of the rollout of our POCare Platform, as we have now built a robust network of POCare centers across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and are focusing on implementation of our POCare supply strategy in the US. Each of our POCare centers serve as hubs for their respective territories. We have cost effectively executed this model through partnerships with leading hospitals and centers of excellence in the field of cell and gene therapies, which provide us an immediate revenue stream related to process development, technology transfer, setup, and validation of both our POCare systems and Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (OMPULs). In turn, we have built out significant capacity to support our anticipated growth.”

“We are now entering the second phase of our rollout. Specifically, we are conducting work related to validation, process development, and supply for clinical trials of advanced therapies utilizing our POCare platform and OMPULs. As these activities ramp up, we expect to benefit from recurring revenue streams, based on long term contracts for the next two to three years. Moreover, if any one of these therapies is granted regulatory approval, we believe that the revenue potential is significant since our POCare strategy positions us as a long term industrial partner. We are currently working to expand our capacity to supply products for over 10 distinct clinical programs. We believe our approach is highly scalable and provides us diversification across multiple revenue generating contracts. As our customers’ needs grow, our goal is to be well prepared to add new capacity utilizing our OMPUL-based approach, within 3-6 months versus the 18-24 months typical for building out additional cleanroom-based manufacturing capacity.”

“Overall, we are witnessing dramatic capacity constraints across the industry. We believe our model is uniquely positioned to address the challenges of current centralized production through a highly innovative decentralized model, which lowers costs, streamlines logistics, and expands capacity. We are overcoming the growing pains and challenges arising from our rapid transformation and believe that our model is essential and sustainable. This is best evidenced by our existing contract pipeline—which has total potential revenue in excess of $75 million for the next two years, as well as our capacity to continually expand our revenue generating relationships with additional biotech companies, therapy developers and other providers such as hospitals and academic centers.”

The complete financial results for the first quarter of 2022 are available on the Company’s website in its Form 10-Q, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
