Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX) ("Scorpius" or "the Company"), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO"), today released a letter to shareholders from its CEO Jeff Wolf:
"We are excited to share an update on Scorpius as we continue to position the company to take a lead role in catering to the rapidly growing biologic and cell therapy markets. Over the past several years, we have made significant investments designed to establish Scorpius as a leading biologic manufacturing CDMO. Notably, we have expanded our mammalian and microbial production capability to enable us to offer a broad range of biologic manufacturing services to our customers. Our robust investments and ongoing efforts have already resulted in a threefold increase in revenue for the first half of 2024. Our current sales pipeline now includes more than $100 million in weighted opportunities across the biopharmaceutical and government sectors.
Given the extensive opportunities before us, we recently completed a financing, raising approximately $14.4 million in gross proceeds. These funds will enable us to better service our existing clients as well as attract larger prospective customers as we diversify our customer base with a strong mix of commercial and government opportunities. Additionally, we have started transitioning several key clients from the process development phase into full-scale manufacturing, enabling an additional revenue stream and marking a significant shift in our operational focus.
