During the three-, nine- and twelve-month periods ended
September 30, 2024, annualized production output was approximately
73%, 81% and 77%, respectively, of the Company’s estimated full
capacity of approximately $30 million per year.
As of September 30, 2024, the backlog of orders aggregated
approximately $7.3 million. The Company believes that the current
backlog reflects strong demand as distributors work to replenish
their buffer stocks and as end-users place orders in advance of the
first quarter calving season.
Since the first quarter of 2020, the Company has been providing
a preliminary look at its unaudited top line results soon after the
close of the quarter. The Company expects to continue providing
this prompt, preliminary report on product sales until further
notice going forward.
“We continue to work to achieve FDA approval to commercialize
Re-Tain®,” commented Michael F. Brigham, President
and CEO of ImmuCell. “We plan to provide an update when we have
filed our Non-Administrative NADA (including our fourth submission
of the CMC Technical Section, responding to the minor issues from
the prior Incomplete Letter, together with All Other Information
and Product Labeling). We anticipate making this submission later
this year, shortly after the inspectional observations at our
contract manufacturer are resolved to the satisfaction of the FDA.
We have been in discussions with the FDA about an expedited review
at that point.”
