Maravai LifeSciences (NASDAQ:MRVI) faces a securities class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. The lawsuit covers investors who purchased shares between August 7, 2024, and February 24, 2025.
The complaint alleges that Maravai and senior executives made false and misleading statements regarding:
- Financial controls and revenue recognition policies
- Improper revenue recording in fiscal 2024
- Overstated goodwill valuation
- Misrepresented financial condition and growth prospects
On February 25, 2025, Maravai announced delays in its earnings release and annual report due to revenue recognition concerns and a potential non-cash impairment charge. The stock subsequently dropped 21.7%. Affected investors have until May 5, 2025, to file for lead plaintiff status in the case.
Maravai LifeSciences (NASDAQ: MRVI) has postponed its previously announced Q4 and full year 2024 earnings release and conference call originally scheduled for February 25, 2025. The company will file a Form 12b-25 with the SEC to delay its annual 10-K report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Maravai intends to hold the postponed earnings call and file the 2024 Form 10-K by March 18, 2025, before the expiration of the automatic 15-day extension from the original March 3, 2025 due date.
The delay is attributed to three main factors: (1) additional time needed to assess a potential non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Alphazyme acquisition; (2) assessment of a revenue recognition error involving approximately $3.9 million recorded in Q2 2024 that should have been recorded in Q3 2024; and (3) time required to complete assessment of disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, including remediation of a material weakness in revenue recognition controls.
Despite these issues, Maravai still expects full-year 2024 revenue to be near the mid-point of its previously announced guidance range of $255.0-265.0 million.
