PORTLAND, Maine, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ImmuCell Corporation (Nasdaq: ICCC) (“ImmuCell” or the “Company”), an animal health biologics company that develops, manufactures and markets products to improve calf health and productivity, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Management’s Discussion:
“Today we are reporting net income of $953,000 for the third quarter of 2026, a $1.1 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2025,” commented Timothy C. Fiori, Chief Financial Officer of ImmuCell. “Revenue grew 46.0% to $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, a comparison aided in part by the absence of distributor restocking headwinds that had adversely affected the third quarter sales in 2025. Gross margin was 44.2% in the third quarter of 2026, which is 130 basis points higher than the third quarter of 2025 and reflects higher pricing and manufacturing execution partially offset by the previously discussed shift of certain product development expenses to costs of goods sold.”
“We are pleased with our third quarter revenue and with distributor out-the-door volume growth of 18% over 2025,” commented Bobbi Jo Brockmann, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “Growth remained broad-based across our sales territories and product lines, supported by an increase in sales activity and continued progress in customer acquisition. We are also encouraged by inventory levels heading into our peak season as we shift our focus to the cow-calf market.”
“ImmuCell had a strong quarter. The expanded commercial team is delivering solid revenue growth as we reach more customers with our value propositions,” said Olivier te Boekhorst, President and CEO. “Increased commercial activity was supported by increased output from the manufacturing team. We are investing in capacity expansion and colostrum sourcing capabilities for future demand, and those efforts are projected to be completed on time and within budget.”
“We have negotiated a new, larger $3 million line of credit with our bank, which we expect to sign during the fourth quarter of 2026,” continued Mr. Fiori. “Additionally, given our strong cash position, we have terminated our At-The-Market offering.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that considering the non-GAAP measure of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) assists management and investors by looking at our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis excluding certain charges from our reported income before income taxes. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as described in the following table and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

Cash payments to satisfy debt repayment obligations and to make capital expenditure investments are other uses of cash that are not included in the calculation of EBITDA, but which management also does consider when assessing its cash flows.
