Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ImmuCell Corporation reported strong first-quarter 2026 growth, with higher sales and profitability. Product sales reached $10.36 million, up 28.4% from $8.07 million a year earlier, driven mainly by higher volumes and price increases in its First Defense® line. Net income rose to $1.94 million from $1.45 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.21 from $0.16. Gross profit improved to $4.66 million as cost of goods sold grew more slowly than revenue, helped by price actions and manufacturing efficiencies. Operating cash flow more than doubled to $3.57 million, boosting cash and cash equivalents to $6.81 million while total debt edged down to $8.70 million. The company also changed useful-life estimates on certain idle Re-Tain® assets, reducing quarterly depreciation by about $0.1 million. After quarter-end, ImmuCell entered a Settlement Deed under which Norbrook Laboratories agreed to pay $2.0 million, resolving a prior development and supply agreement.

  • Strong top- and bottom-line growth: Product sales increased 28.4% to $10.36 million while net income rose 34.2% to $1.94 million, with operating income up 76.2%, indicating improved scale and profitability in the core First Defense® business.
  • Improved liquidity and upcoming cash inflow: Operating cash flow climbed to $3.57 million, boosting cash to $6.81 million versus $8.70 million of debt, and a $2.0 million settlement payment from Norbrook is expected under a signed Settlement Deed.

Insights

ImmuCell delivered strong Q1 revenue and profit growth with improved cash generation.

ImmuCell grew Q1 2026 product sales 28.4% to $10.36 million, with First Defense® accounting for 99.5% of revenue. Net income increased 34.2% to $1.94 million, and operating income rose 76.2% to $1.97 million, reflecting higher volumes, pricing, and better manufacturing leverage.

Operating cash flow of $3.57 million more than doubled year over year, lifting cash to $6.81 million against bank debt of $8.70 million. A change in depreciation estimates on idle Re-Tain® equipment added about $0.1 million to quarterly operating income, so part of the margin expansion is non-cash.

Segment data show the Scours business generating $3.32 million of operating income while Mastitis and other activities posted losses. A subsequent $2.0 million settlement payment from Norbrook, disclosed for after March 31, 2026, adds further financial flexibility once received.

First Defense® financial
"Our primary product line, First Defense®, utilizes hyperimmunized bovine colostrum to provide pathogen-specific antibodies"
At-The-Market Offering financial
"In April of 2024, we entered into our ATM Agreement, which allows us to offer and sell up to $11 million of shares"
An at-the-market offering is a method companies use to sell new shares of stock directly into the open market over time, rather than all at once. This allows them to raise money gradually, similar to selling small pieces of a product instead of a large batch. For investors, it means the company can access funding more flexibly, but it may also increase the supply of shares and influence the stock’s price.
stock-based compensation financial
"We recorded compensation expense pertaining to stock-based awards of $137,949 and $52,215 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025"
Stock-based compensation is when a company pays employees, directors or consultants with shares or the right to buy shares instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because issuing stock or options spreads ownership thinner (like cutting a pie into more slices), which can reduce each existing share’s claim on profits and can also change reported earnings; investors watch it to assess true cost of running the business and how management is incentivized.
valuation allowance financial
"we recorded $563,252 in non-cash income tax expense to create a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets"
A valuation allowance is a reserve set aside to reduce the value of certain assets on a company's financial records when there is uncertainty about whether they will generate the expected benefits. It acts like a caution sign, indicating that some assets might not be fully recoverable or worth their recorded amount. This matters to investors because it provides a more realistic picture of a company's financial health and potential risks.
Scours segment financial
"Scours segment - consists of the First Defense® product line. The core technology underlying the Scours segment is focused on polyclonal antibodies."
Mastitis segment financial
"Mastitis segment - includes our CMT product line ... and our Re-Tain® product in development for the treatment of subclinical mastitis"

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is invested in money market accounts. The fair value of these investments is based on their closing published net asset value. As of March 31, 2026, property, plant and equipment, net includes approximately $12,300,000 of idle assets, which primarily related to one of our manufacturing facilities that was previously utilized for Re-Tain® that we now plan to refit for use in producing First Defense® products. The income from insurance recoveries resulted from claim benefits paid to us during the first quarter of 2025 under our business interruption policy related to product contamination losses incurred during late 2022 and through early 2024. This recovery does not include the $250,000 received on this claim during the third quarter of 2023. Includes $3,402,201 and $3,590,628 of colostrum on hand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Due to inflation and the changing interest rate environment, the carrying values of our fixed rate bank debt as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 differed from their fair market values. The amount outstanding under our bank debt facilities is measured at carrying value in our accompanying balance sheets. The amortization of these debt issuance costs and debt discount costs is being recorded as a component of interest expense, included in other (expenses) income, net, and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the underlying terms of the notes. 00008116412026-01-012026-03-31 xbrli:shares 00008116412026-05-01 thunderdome:item iso4217:USD 00008116412026-03-31 00008116412025-12-31

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and will often include words such as “expects”, “may”, “anticipates”, “aims”, “intends”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “targets”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “seeks” and similar words and expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any forward-looking statements relating to: our plans, goals and strategies for our business; projections of future financial or operational performance; future demand for our products, including the First Defense® product line; the scope, timing, and costs of ongoing and future product development work and commercialization of our products; future regulatory requirements relating to our products; future expense ratios and margins; estimates of  useful lives of equipment; cost recoveries on Re-Tain® equipment no longer in service; and any other statements that are not historical facts. projections about depreciation expense and its impact on income for book and tax return purposes; and any other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are intended to provide management’s current expectation of future events as of the date of this earnings release, are based on management’s estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions as of the date hereof; and are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results, financial or operational performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties relating to: difficulties or delays in development, testing, regulatory approval, production and marketing of our products, competition within our anticipated product markets, customer acceptance of our new and existing products, product performance, alignment between our manufacturing resources and product demand (including the consequences of backlogs), uncertainty associated with the timing and volume of customer orders as we come out of a prolonged backlog, adverse impacts of supply chain disruptions on our operations and customer and supplier relationships, commercial and operational risks relating to our current and planned expansion of production capacity, and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on our current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including the risk factors summarized under PART II: OTHER INFORMATION, ITEM 1A-RISK FACTORS and uncertainties otherwise referred to in this Quarterly Report. In addition, there can be no assurance that future risks, uncertainties or developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

ImmuCell Corporation, founded in 1982 and a SEC-registered public company since 1987, is an animal health biologics company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of products intended to improve the survivability, health, and long-term performance of neonatal dairy and beef calves. Our primary product line, First Defense®, utilizes hyperimmunized bovine colostrum to provide pathogen-specific antibodies and other bioactive components. In the United States, First Defense® products are regulated as veterinary biologics by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Center for Veterinary Biologics under the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act. In Canada, products are regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and in other countries, the products are regulated by similar agencies. Certain product formats are marketed as feed supplements regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. References to ImmuCell (“the Company”) throughout this document are made using the first person notations of “we”, “us” and “our”.  See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further information about our company and strategy.

 

Seasonality of Sales

 

Sales of the First Defense® product line are seasonal, with higher sales expected during the first quarter of the calendar year, largely driven by the beef calving season, which runs primarily from January to April, unlike the dairy industry where operations generally calve year-round. Warm and dry weather conditions may reduce the producers' perceived need for disease prevention products such as the First Defense® product line. However, heat stress on calves caused by extremely hot summer weather and cold stress during the winter months can increase the incidence of scours and the need for our products.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with (i) United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of our management, our condensed unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) include all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements (and notes thereto) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Although we regularly assess these estimates, actual amounts could differ from those estimates and are subject to change in the near term. Changes in estimates are recorded during the period in which they become known. Significant estimates include our valuation of inventory, deferred tax assets, and the impairment of long-lived assets.

 

In connection with the idle status of certain property, plant and equipment, net, (related to the repurposing of certain equipment previously utilized in the manufacturing of Re-Tain®), we reassessed prior estimates of the useful lives of that manufacturing equipment. Because the equipment had seen such limited use during the period since installation, we increased the estimated remaining useful lives on certain equipment by a weighted average of five years effective January 1, 2026. The effect of this change in estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was a $0.1 million decrease to depreciation expense included in costs of goods sold, and an increase in operating income and net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per both basic and diluted share.

 

See Note 5, “Property, Plant and Equipment” for further information.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed financial statements are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years are to our fiscal years, which end on December 31.

 

Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

 

In November of 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to provide disaggregated disclosures of specific expense categories underlying all relevant income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply it retrospectively. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

2. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

Allowance for Credit and Sales Losses

 

As of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025 we determined that no allowance for credit losses or product returns was necessary. We consider a broad range of information to estimate credit losses. Historically, we have experienced a very low level of credit loss expense, and most of our trade receivables are collected by the due date or within a few days of the due date. We anticipate no future events or conditions that would impact our ability to collect our accounts receivable. Because of the generally short duration from the balance sheet date to the date of collection, our collection rate is not expected to be significantly impacted by events occurring after the balance sheet date. No accounts receivable were written off during the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is principally limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, therefore, believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. We maintain an allowance for potential credit losses when deemed necessary, but historically we have not experienced significant credit losses related to an individual customer or groups of customers in any particular industry or geographic area.

 

Sales to significant customers that amounted to 10 percent or more of total product sales are detailed in the following table:

5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, property, plant and equipment, net includes approximately $12,300,000 of idle assets, which primarily relate to one of our manufacturing facilities that was previously utilized for Re-Tain® that we now plan to refit for use in producing First Defense® products. In connection with the idle status of the assets, we reassessed the useful lives of the manufacturing equipment. See Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies” for further information. We are monitoring these assets for impairment. No impairment expense was recognized during the three months ended  March 31, 2026 or 2025.

(1) Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is invested in money market accounts. The fair value of these investments is based on their closing published net asset value.

(2) Due to inflation and the changing interest rate environment, the carrying values of our fixed rate bank debt as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 differed from their fair market values. The amount outstanding under our bank debt facilities is measured at carrying value in our accompanying balance sheets. 

 

We evaluate assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period. Some nonfinancial assets are measured at fair value only in certain circumstances, including the event of impairment. 

 

We assess the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer in accordance with our accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no transfers between levels.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

8. BANK DEBT

 

Loans #1 and #2: During the first quarter of 2020, we closed on a debt financing with Maine Community Bank (formerly known as Gorham Savings Bank) (MCB) aggregating $8,600,000, which was comprised of a $5,100,000 mortgage note (Loan #1) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 10-year term and 25-year amortization schedule and a balloon principal payment of $3,145,888 due during the first quarter of 2030) and a $3,500,000 note (Loan #2) that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 7-year term and amortization schedule). The proceeds from the 2020 debt refinancing were used to repay all bank debt outstanding at the time of closing and to provide some additional working capital. During the first quarter of 2022, we closed on an additional $2,000,000 in mortgage debt, which bears interest at the fixed rate of 3.58% per annum. This was accomplished through an amendment of the original mortgage note (Loan #1) that increased the then outstanding principal balance from $4,233,957 to $6,233,957 bearing interest at the blended fixed rate of 3.53% per annum. This increased the balloon payment from $3,145,888 to $3,687,751 and extended the due date of the balloon payment from the first quarter of 2030 to the first quarter of 2032.

 

Loan #3: During the second quarter of 2020, we received a loan from the Maine Technology Institute (MTI) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000. The first 2.25 years of this loan were interest-free with no interest accrual or required principal payments. Beginning during the fourth quarter of 2022, Loan #3 became subject to quarterly principal and interest payments at a fixed rate of 5% per annum over the final five years of the loan, through the third quarter of 2027 if not repaid before then.

 

Loan #4: During the fourth quarter of 2020, we closed on a $1,500,000 note with MCB that bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum (with a 7-year term and amortization schedule). Proceeds of $624,167 were used to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal on our mortgage note (Loan #1), which reduced the outstanding balance to 80% of the most recent appraised value of the property securing the debt, which allowed MCB to release the $1,400,000 that had been held in escrow. The remaining proceeds were available for general working capital purposes.

 

Loan #5: On June 30, 2021, we executed definitive agreements covering a second loan from the MTI in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000, proceeds from which were received in July of 2021. The first two years of this loan were interest-free with no interest accrual or required principal payments. Principal and interest payments at a fixed rate of 5% per annum are due quarterly over the final 5.5 years of the loan, beginning during the third quarter of 2023 and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2028 if not repaid before then.

 

Loan #6: During the third quarter of 2023, we closed on a $2,000,000 term loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum from MCB. The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) provided $1,000,000 of loan insurance to MCB. This loan was repayable under a 7-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment of $1,285,029 due during the third quarter of 2026. This loan was refinanced during the year ended December 31, 2025, utilizing the proceeds from Loan #8 discussed below.

 

Loan #7: Also during the third quarter of 2023, we closed on a $1,000,000 term loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum from FAME. The loan was repayable under a 7-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment of $649,267 due during the third quarter of 2026. This loan was refinanced during the year ended December 31, 2025, utilizing the proceeds from Loan #8 discussed below.

 

Loan #8: During the year ended December 31, 2025, we refinanced some of our bank debt. The principal amount of $1,525,852 outstanding as of the closing date under Loan #6 and the principal amount of $768,209 outstanding as of the closing date under Loan #7 were both refinanced into one MCB loan with a principal amount of $2,327,119 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.5% per annum, a reduction from both Loan #6 and Loan #7. This refinancing also removed the balloon principal payments that were due in July of 2026 under both Loans #6 and #7. Principal and interest payments under the new loan of $45,637 per month are due over a five-year term ending during the third quarter of 2030.

 

Loans #1, #2, #4, and #8 are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets and are subject to certain restrictions and annual financial covenants. Loans #3 and #5 are unsecured and subordinated to our indebtedness to MCB. Failure to make timely payments of principal and interest, or otherwise to comply with the terms of the agreements of Loans #3 and #5, would entitle the MTI to accelerate the maturity of such debt and demand repayment in full. These loans may be prepaid without penalty at any time.

 

Principal payments (net of debt issuance and debt discount costs) due under bank loans outstanding as of March 31, 2026 (excluding our $1,000,000 line of credit) are reflected in the following table by the year that payments are due:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation and Regulatory

 

Our bylaws, as amended, in effect provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors against any liability arising from their responsibilities as officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we make similar indemnity undertakings with each director and executive officer through a separate indemnification agreement with that director or officer. The maximum payment that we may be required to make under such provisions is theoretically unlimited and is impossible to determine. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which may provide us reimbursement for payments made to, or on behalf of, officers and directors pursuant to the indemnification provisions. Our indemnification obligations were grandfathered under the provisions of Codification Topic 460, Guarantees. Accordingly, we have recorded no liability for such obligations as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Since our incorporation, we have had no occasion to make any indemnification payment to any of our officers or directors for any reason.

 

The development, manufacturing and marketing of animal health and nutrition products entails an inherent risk that liability claims will be asserted against us during the normal course of business. We are aware of no such claims against us as of the time of this filing on May 14, 2026. We believe that we have reasonable levels of liability insurance to support our operations.

 

We enter into agreements with third parties in the ordinary course of business under which we are obligated to indemnify such third parties from and against various risks and losses. The precise terms of such indemnities vary with the nature of the agreement. In some cases those obligations may be theoretically unlimited. We have not incurred material expenses in discharging any of these indemnification obligations and based on our analysis of the nature of the risks involved, we believe that the fair value of the liabilities potentially arising under these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we recorded no liabilities for such obligations as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

 

Employee Compensation

 

Upon retirement from the Company during January 2026, Mr. Brigham (our former President and Chief Executive Officer), was paid $239,369 for all earned and unused paid time off, as well as $100,000 related to a retention and performance bonus in equal amounts. Both amounts were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of December 31, 2025.

 

As of September 29, 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. te Boekhorst (effective upon commencement of employment as Company President and Chief Executive Officer) under which he will receive an annual base salary of $450,000. He also will be entitled to earn annual cash bonuses of up to an additional $400,000 per year subject to the Company having achieved financial improvement targets from the prior year, as set in advance by our Board of Directors or its Compensation and Stock Option Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The targets for 2026 have been set based on the board approved budget in the first quarter of 2026. 

 

Effective as of January 27, 2026, we entered into new employment agreements with Timothy C. Fiori, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Bobbi Jo Brockmann, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Pursuant to the new employment agreements, Mr. Fiori will be compensated at an annual base salary of $315,000 and Ms. Brockmann will be compensated at an annual base salary of $300,000. Starting with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, each of Mr. Fiori and Ms. Brockmann will be eligible to earn a formulaic annual cash bonus if various preset financial and strategic targets are achieved. The target cash bonus amount is 50% of base salary (potentially higher if all targets are exceeded). The financial and strategic targets for 2026 were approved by the Committee. Per the employment agreements, the annual financial and strategic targets thereafter will be set each year by our CEO in consultation with the Committee; for targets that are qualitative in nature, the extent to which the qualitative target was achieved is to be determined each year by the Committee. These agreements also include provisions for potential severance payments, which are dependent on the nature in which employment terminates.

 

As with other incentive-based compensation, payouts of annual cash bonuses are subject to possible retroactive claw back if and to the extent mandated by Company policy or applicable laws or listing requirements.

 

Other Commitments

 

In addition to the commitments discussed above, we had committed $76,000 to increase our production capacity for the First Defense® product line, $1,733,000 to the purchase of inventory, $419,000 to information technology services, $312,000 to cold storage services, and $723,000 for other obligations as of March 31, 2026.     

 

10. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

 

Common Stock Issuances

 

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold shares pursuant to the At-The-Market (ATM) agreement (net of legal, accounting, sales commissions and other fees) for net proceeds of ($23,541).  There was no ATM activity in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

Stock Option Plans

 

On November 7, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a new 2025 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), under which employees, directors and other service providers may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. The Board further revised the 2025 Plan on March 26, 2026 and April 7, 2026, including revising the number of shares from 500,000 to 650,000, as well as revisions to the change in control provisions, minimum vesting period and exercise period for retiring directors. As set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the June 11, 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board submitted the 2025 Plan, as so revised, to stockholders for approval at that meeting. If for any reason the 2025 Plan is not approved by vote of the Company’s stockholders within 12 months after the date of the Plan’s adoption by the Board, then with limited exceptions all stock options previously granted under that Plan would, by their terms and consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rules, lapse and become non-exercisable.

 

In the first quarter of 2026, Michael F. Brigham surrendered 24,052 shares of previously owned common stock in the Company in exchange for the exercise of 25,000 incentive stock options.  There were no stock options exercised in the three month period ended March 31, 2025.

 

On January 27, 2026, we granted stock options to purchase 220,000 shares of the Company's common stock to two executive officers of the Company. Such options have a grant-date fair value of $3.51 per share and vest ratably over three years from date of grant. We record stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for all stock options. On January 27, 2026, we granted an additional stock option to purchase 109,500 shares of the Company's common stock to the Company's President and CEO, contingent on achieving certain internal performance metrics. Such option has a grant-date fair value of $3.51 and vests only if and when the Company’s net operating income for four consecutive calendar quarters equals or exceeds 300% of the Company’s audited net operating income for its 2025 fiscal year. As of March 31, 2026, we believe that the vesting of the option is probable.

 

The fair value of stock options, including performance-based stock options, is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We recorded compensation expense pertaining to stock-based awards of $137,949 and $52,215 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in stock-compensation expense is due to grants to our executive officers beginning in April 2025.   

 

 

11. Net Income Per Share

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share is similar to the computation of basic net income per share, except that the weighted average common shares outstanding includes the assumed exercise of in-the-money options and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. We use the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards during the period, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.

12. REVENUE         

 

We primarily offer the First Defense® product line to dairy and beef producers to prevent scours in newborn calves. This line offers two distinct platforms: i) veterinary biologics providing scours protection with USDA-approved claims against E.coli, coronavirus and rotavirus and ii) functional feed products delivering concentrated bioactive colostrum proteins. Generally, our products are promoted to veterinarians as well as dairy and beef producers by our sales team and then sold through distributors.

 

We have determined that each unit within each purchase order we receive from our customers is distinct, can be used on its own, and is not combined with another promise. As such, each unit constitutes a distinct performance obligation. The transaction price is determined based on the pricing noted within each written contract or provided to customers via standard price lists and with payments typically due in full within 30 days of invoicing. Our contracts do not include significant financing components.

 

We recognize revenue at a point in time, when we invoice at shipment, which is when the customer assumes legal title and we have the right to payment. 

 

There were no material changes between the allocation and timing of revenue recognition during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

 

The following table presents our product sales disaggregated by geographic area:

Total Product Sales

All trade receivables on our balance sheet date are from contracts with customers. As of January 1, 2025, trade accounts receivable (all of which relates to contracts with customers) totaled $3,771,133. We do not have any contract assets for which we have satisfied the performance obligation, but do not yet have the right to payment. We do not have any contract liabilities such as upfront customer payments or deferred revenue. We incur no material costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers.

Interest expense includes amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs of $3,158 and $10,806 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(2)

The income from insurance recoveries resulted from claim benefits paid to us during the first quarter of 2025 under our business interruption policy related to product contamination losses incurred during late 2022 and through early 2024. This recovery does not include the $250,000 received on this claim during the third quarter of 2023.

 

14. INCOME TAXES

 

Our income tax expense aggregated $12,522 and $1,904 (amounting to less than 1% of our income before income taxes) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

During the second quarter of 2018, we assessed our historical and near-term future profitability and recorded $563,252 in non-cash income tax expense to create a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets (which consist largely of net operating loss carryforwards and federal and state credits) based on applicable accounting standards and practices. At that time, we had incurred a net loss for six consecutive quarters, had not been profitable on a year-to-date basis since the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and projected additional net losses for some period going forward before returning to profitability. Should future profitability be realized at an adequate level, we would be able to release this valuation allowance (resulting in a non-cash income tax benefit) and realize these deferred tax assets before they expire. We will continue to assess the need for the valuation allowance at each quarter and, in the event that actual results differ from these estimates, or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance. Currently, we adjust the valuation allowance at the end of each quarter to reduce the value of our net deferred tax assets to zero.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

Our business operations (being the development, manufacture and sale of products that improve the health and productivity of dairy and beef cattle) are described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”. Our chief operating decision-maker (CODM), our President and CEO, regularly evaluates two operating segments: i) Scours and ii) Mastitis for purposes of deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM primarily evaluates performance based on product sales as well as net operating income (loss). No operating segments have been aggregated; therefore, our two operating segments are the Company's two reportable segments. 

 

Scours segment - consists of the First Defense® product line. The core technology underlying the Scours segment is focused on polyclonal antibodies.

 

Mastitis segment - includes our CMT product line, consisting of reagents and equipment used for rapid cow-side testing to identify mastitic quarters by detecting elevated somatic cell counts. This segment also includes our Re-Tain® product in development for the treatment of subclinical mastitis based on the bacteriocin nisin. On December 23, 2025, we made the decision to cease our focus on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead continue the stability and investigational testing related to Re-Tain®

 

Other - includes unallocated administrative and overhead expenses and other products.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed unaudited financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. One should review the Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results, objectives or expectations described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Overview

 

ImmuCell Corporation, founded in 1982 and a SEC-registered public company since 1987, is an animal health biologics company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of products intended to improve the survivability, health, and long-term performance of neonatal dairy and beef calves.

 

Change in Accounting Estimate

 

In connection with the idle status of certain property, plant and equipment, net, (related to the repurposing of certain equipment previously utilized in the manufacturing of Re-Tain®), we reassessed prior estimates of the useful lives of that manufacturing equipment. Because the equipment had seen such limited use during the period since installation, we increased the estimated remaining useful lives on certain equipment by a weighted average of five years effective January 1, 2026. The effect of this change in estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was a $0.1 million decrease to depreciation expense included in costs of goods sold, and an increase in operating income and net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per both basic and diluted share.

 

See Note 5, “Property, Plant and Equipment” of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.

 

Seasonality of Sales

 

Sales of the First Defense® product line are seasonal, with higher sales expected during the first quarter of the calendar year, largely driven by the beef calving season, which runs primarily from January to April, unlike the dairy industry where operations generally calve year-round. Warm and dry weather conditions may reduce the producers' perceived need for disease prevention products such as the First Defense® product line. However, heat stress on calves caused by extremely hot summer weather and cold stress during the winter months can increase the incidence of scours and the need for our products.

Product Sales

 

Sales of the First Defense® product line made up 99.5% of our total sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. We also sell our own CMT, which is used to detect somatic cell counts in milk. Sales of CMT aggregated approximately 0.5% of our total product sales during the periods reported.

 

Product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $10.4 million representing a 28.4%, or $2.3 million, increase over product sales of $8.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes of Tri-Shield® and Dual Force® combined with year-over-year product price increases across most product lines.

 

Domestic sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by 35.7% (to $9.7 million), and international sales decreased by 30.2% (to $0.6 million), in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2025. International sales aggregated 6.0% and 11.1% of total sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Costs of Goods Sold

 

Costs of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $5.7 million representing a 20.9%, or $1.0 million, increase over costs of goods sold of $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of First Defense® combined with a shift of $0.3 million of costs associated with the former Re-Tain® manufacturing facility from product development expense to costs of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold increased at a rate lower than sales due to price increases effective January 1, 2026 and manufacturing efficiencies obtained during the period, partially offset by the shift of depreciation and building related expenses related to our 33 Caddie facility (formerly associated with Re-Tain®) from product development expense as a result of the Company's December 2025 decision to cease its focus on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead refit the facility for use in producing First Defense® products.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, sales and marketing expenses increased by 43.9%, or $0.4 million, to $1.2 million in comparison to $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher wages, including share-based compensation, and expenses associated with new and backfilled sales positions, coupled with increased promotional and tradeshow related expenses. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we restricted commercial spending due to tight product supply; however, this tight supply was alleviated in the summer of 2025. 

 

Administrative Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, administrative expenses increased by 82.7%, or $0.5 million, to $1.1 million in comparison to $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in executive compensation (including share-based compensation).

 

Product Development Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, product development expenses decreased by 58.0%, or $0.4 million, to $0.3 million in comparison to $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was driven by the $0.3 million shift to costs of goods sold of depreciation and building related expenses related to our 33 Caddie facility (formerly associated with Re-Tain®) as part of our recently announced strategy to utilize the facility for the production of First Defense® as a result of the Company's December 2025 decision to cease its focus on obtaining FDA approval of Re-Tain® and instead refit the facility for use in producing First Defense® products, coupled with a reduction of wages associated with Re-Tain® product development.

 

Other (Expense) Income, Net

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, other expense, net was $15,187 in comparison to $0.3 million of other income, net during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The year-over-year net shift of 104.6% or $0.3 million was primarily due to a one-time insurance settlement of $0.4 million which occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

During both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded insignificant amounts of income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flows from operations, proceeds from our sale of common stock, and borrowings available under our bank line of credit.

 

We had aggregate debt outstanding (net of debt issuance and debt discount costs) of $8.7 million and $9.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Recurring debt principal repayments (excluding the line of credit) aggregated $0.4 million during both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. We anticipate that recurring debt principal repayments will aggregate approximately $1.6 million during the year ending December 31, 2026. Our $1.0 million line of credit, which bears interest at the National Prime Rate per annum, is currently available until September 11, 2026. No draw on our line of credit was outstanding as of March 31, 2026, or December 31, 2025.

 

Interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs) was approximately $97,000 and $117,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Our debt bears interest at fixed rates, which on a blended basis amounts to 4.3% per annum. We anticipate that interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs) will be $367,000 during the year ending December 31, 2026.

 

In April of 2024, we entered into our ATM Agreement, which allows us to offer and sell up to $11 million of shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2026, we have the capacity to sell $6 million of shares under the ATM Agreement but no pending plan to issue additional shares under that arrangement.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in net income, $0.8 million less cash used for inventory, $0.4 million less cash used for accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $0.3 million additional cash provided by accounts receivable.

 

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in capital expenditures.

 

Net cash used for financing activities decreased an insignificant amount during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of March 31, 2026. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting: Our Chief Financial Officer, other members of management, and our accounting team periodically evaluate any change in internal control over financial reporting which has occurred during the prior fiscal quarter. We have concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

FAQ

How did ImmuCell (ICCC) perform financially in Q1 2026?

ImmuCell reported Q1 2026 product sales of $10.36 million, up 28.4% year over year. Net income was $1.94 million, compared with $1.45 million in Q1 2025, and basic and diluted EPS increased to $0.21 from $0.16, reflecting stronger margins.

What drove ImmuCell’s revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026?

Revenue growth was driven mainly by higher sales volumes and price increases in the First Defense® product line. Product sales rose from $8.07 million to $10.36 million, with domestic sales up 35.7% to $9.73 million, while international sales declined to $0.62 million.

How strong was ImmuCell’s cash flow and balance sheet in Q1 2026?

ImmuCell generated $3.57 million in operating cash flow in Q1 2026, more than double the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents reached $6.81 million, while debt outstanding (net) was $8.70 million. Net working capital increased to $14.95 million, supporting ongoing operations and commitments.

What impact did depreciation changes have on ImmuCell’s Q1 2026 results?

A change in estimated useful lives for certain repurposed Re-Tain® equipment reduced depreciation expense by about $0.1 million in Q1 2026. This increased operating income and net income by the same amount, adding roughly $0.01 to both basic and diluted earnings per share.

How are ImmuCell’s business segments performing in early 2026?

In Q1 2026, the Scours segment, centered on First Defense®, generated $10.31 million of sales and $3.32 million of operating income. The Mastitis segment and Other activities reported operating losses of $0.16 million and $1.19 million, respectively, reducing consolidated profitability.

What is the significance of ImmuCell’s $2.0 million Norbrook settlement?

After March 31, 2026, Norbrook agreed to pay ImmuCell $2.0 million under a Settlement Deed resolving a 2019 development and supply agreement. The payment, governed by Northern Ireland law, provides additional cash but does not constitute any admission of liability or wrongdoing by either party.
