Revenues increased to $9.09 million in 2024, an increase of 17% compared to $7.79 million in 2023.
Combined operating income for the year ended December 31, 2024, from our two wholly owned subsidiaries, Lifeline Cell Technology and Lifeline Skin Care, increased to $2.39 million, an increase of 29%, compared to $1.85 million in 2023.
Loss from operations decreased to $68,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 90%, compared to $663,000 in 2023.

"2024 has been a successful year for International Stem Cell Corporation, marked by both strong financial performance and continued progress in our clinical trial. Our revenue growth, coupled with a significant reduction in operational losses, underscores the strength of our business model and the demand for our biomedical products. At the same time, we remain committed to advancing our pioneering ISC-hpNSC® program, building upon the promising interim results observed in our Phase 1 clinical trial. Looking ahead, we are focused on leveraging these achievements to drive further growth, accelerate our research, and enhance value for our shareholders," stated Andrey Semechkin, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Chairman of ISCO.

About International Stem Cell Corporation

International Stem Cell Corporation is focused on the therapeutic applications of human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSCs) and the development and commercialization of cell-based research and cosmetic products. ISCO's core technology, parthenogenesis, results in the creation of pluripotent human stem cells from unfertilized oocytes (eggs). hpSCs avoid ethical issues associated with the use or destruction of viable human embryos. ISCO scientists have created the first parthenogenetic, homozygous stem cell line that can be a source of therapeutic cells for hundreds of millions of individuals of differing genders, ages and racial background with minimal immune rejection after transplantation. hpSCs offer the potential to create the first true stem cell bank, UniStemCell™. ISCO also produces and markets specialized cells and growth media for therapeutic research worldwide through its subsidiary Lifeline Cell Technology (www.lifelinecelltech.com), and stem cell-based skin care products through its subsidiary Lifeline Skin Care (www.lifelineskincare.com).
