Preliminary Full-Year 2024 Product Revenues Total $180.3 million, 15% Over 2023 Results and Exceed Prior Product Revenue Guidance
2025 Product Revenues Expected to be Between $194-$200 million, Reflecting 8%-11% Growth Year-Over-Year

These preliminary product revenue results have not been audited and are therefore subject to change.
"We are pleased with our strong performance, which contributed to continued double-digit product revenue growth for the full year 2024, driven by sustained momentum across our INTERCEPT platelet franchise both in the U.S. and internationally and importantly, from our IFC business, which continues to gain momentum," said William "Obi" Greenman, president and chief executive officer of Cerus. "As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to build on this success through disciplined execution, continued growth in the platelet and IFC franchises, and the advancement of our pipeline, including the planned upcoming LED Illuminator launch in Europe, as well as anticipated further geographic expansion."
The Company expects full-year 2025 product revenue will be in the range of $194-$200 million, of which IFC is expected to be in the range of $12-$15 million. Year-over-year product revenue growth for the first quarter of 2025 is expected to be approximately 10% to 15% over the first quarter of 2024.
