ROCKVILLE, Md. — MaxCyte, Inc., (Nasdaq: 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 a restructuring of its operations to better align resources with its strategic priorities. This plan includes a reduction of approximately 34% of the Company’s global workforce, inclusive of employees engaged through employer-of-record (EOR) arrangements. Anticipated annualized savings as a result of this action are expected to be approximately $13.6 million.

This workforce reduction is part of MaxCyte’s commitment to significantly reduce operating expenses, streamline its organizational structure, and accelerate its path toward profitability. The Company expects this action to yield meaningful cost savings while maintaining focus on its core mission of enabling the next generation of cell therapies.

Consistent with its previously issued outlook, MaxCyte is reiterating that 2025 core revenue is expected to be flat to down approximately 10% compared to 2024. The Company continues to anticipate approximately $5 million in SPL program-related revenue for the full year and expects year-end cash, cash equivalents, and investments to be at least $155 million.

“Today’s decision is important to position MaxCyte for long-term success,” said Maher Masoud, Chief Executive Officer. “We are grateful to our departing colleagues for their many contributions to MaxCyte’s mission and wish them success in future endeavors. This strategic realignment of resources is a significant step forward as part of a broader strategic initiative to drive efficient growth and scale MaxCyte towards profitability.  We are developing a culture of continuous improvement throughout the organization and anticipate additional non-employee related opportunities to improve the profitability profile of the company over time. We expect to provide more details on the expected financial impact related to this initiative, as well as the outlook for the remainder of 2025, on our third quarter earnings call in November.”

The Company noted that this workforce reduction represents all the anticipated employee-related actions under the restructuring.
