Exhibit 99.1

MaxCyte Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Updates Full Year 2024 Guidance

ROCKVILLE, MD, November 6, 2024 — MaxCyte, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXCT; LSE: MXCT), a leading, cell-engineering focused company providing enabling platform technologies to advance the discovery, development, and commercialization of next-generation cell therapeutics, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and updated its 2024 guidance.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

●

Total revenue of $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 2% over the third quarter of 2023.

●

Core business revenue of $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 23% over the third quarter of 2023.

●

No material Strategic Platform License (SPL) Program-related revenue was recorded in the third quarter of 2024, consistent with the Company’s expectations which reflected $6.0 million in SPL program-related revenue received during the first two quarters of 2024.

●

Six new SPL clients signed year-to-date. Kamau Therapeutics signed in September, Legend Biotech signed in May, Be Biopharma signed in March, and Wugen, Imugene, and Lion TCR signed in January. The total number of SPL partners now stands at 29.

●

Total cash, cash equivalents and investments were $196.6 million as of September 30, 2024.

“I am pleased with MaxCyte’s financial performance in the third quarter, and confident in our outlook for the remainder of 2024. We believe our strong core revenue growth and increasing demand for our platform was driven by exceptional commercial execution, and the value proposition that MaxCyte holds within the cell therapy industry. Coming out of a difficult 2023, this year we have consistently delivered with three strong quarters of core revenue, along with disciplined operational execution allowing us to maintain our healthy cash balance sheet,” said Maher Masoud, President and CEO at MaxCyte.

“So far in 2024, we have signed 6 new SPLs, which represents a record number of new SPL clients in a single year for MaxCyte. Our most recently signed SPL, Kamau Therapeutics, brings our total number of SPLs to 29. We are very excited by our customers’ progress on their programs and remain focused on providing them with the best support possible in their development efforts. As we expand our technology to more customers and programs, the ExPERT Platform supports a growing number of technologies requiring multiple edits and steps, as well as therapies in a range of new indications.”

In addition to growing revenue, MaxCyte continues to prioritize its investments towards those that it believes will provide the best return on investment and long-term growth. The Company is also continuously evaluating and executing on opportunities to reduce its cost structure and improve operational focus and efficiency. As part of these efforts, the Company is considering the costs and benefits of maintaining dual listings on AIM and Nasdaq. A potential cancellation of the admission of its common stock from trading on AIM would allow the Company to concentrate its efforts exclusively on the NASDAQ exchange, where the vast majority of its trading volume now occurs. Concentrating trading

on a single exchange is expected to improve liquidity and reduce the administrative costs associated with maintaining dual listings. The Board is contemplating requesting shareholder approval to implement this strategy at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, although no decision has been taken by the Board at this time in respect of any such cancellation from admission to trading on AIM. The Company anticipates that the 2025 Annual Meeting will be held between May and July 2025, subject to the filing of a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following table provides details regarding the sources of the Company’s revenue for the periods presented.

MaxCyte now expects to end 2024 with approximately $185 million in total cash, cash equivalents and investments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. MaxCyte believes that EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The company’s management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The company believes that the use of EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the company’s financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

This press release also contains Non-GAAP Gross Margin, which we define as Gross Margin when excluding SPL program related revenue and reserves for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company believes that the use of Non-GAAP Gross Margin provides an additional tool to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, as Non-GAAP Gross Margin excludes non-core revenues and inventory reserves, which can vary significantly between periods and thus affect comparability.

Management does not consider these Non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant revenues and expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents these Non-GAAP financial measures along with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Reconciliation tables of net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA, and Gross Margin, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Non-GAAP Gross Margin, are included at the end of this release. MaxCyte urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company’s business

Certain statements in this Presentation are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements regarding our expected potential future revenue. The words "may," "might," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "seek," "predict," "future," "project," "potential," "continue," "target" and similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Any forward-looking statements in this Presentation are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and important factors that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future growth, results of operations, performance, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), competitive advantages, business prospects and opportunities. These and other risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our quarterly reports for the periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024, as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors in the other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

No statement in this Presentation is intended to be, or intended to be construed as, a profit forecast or profit estimate or to be interpreted to mean that earnings per Company share for the current or future financial years will necessarily match or exceed the historical earnings per Company share. As a result, no undue reliance should be placed on such statements. Any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of the date of this Presentation and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. We explicitly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. No representations or warranties (expressed or implied) are made about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. This Presentation also contains Non-GAAP Gross Margin, which we define as Gross Margin when excluding SPL program related revenue and reserves for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company believes that the use of Non-GAAP Gross Margin provides an additional tool to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, as Non-GAAP Gross Margin excludes non-core revenues and inventory reserves, which can vary significantly between periods and thus affect comparability. Management does not consider these Non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant revenues and expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of Gross Margin, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Non-GAAP Gross Margin is included in the appendix of this release. © 2024 MaxCyte, Inc. All Rights Reserved
