Cryo-Save, which has its headquarters in the Netherlands and stores more than 100,000 adult stem cells in storage facilities in Belgium, Germany and Dubai, last month reported a fall in full-year profits due to higher operating expenses, but said it was well positioned to capitalise on its international position.
Revenue was up 67% to €29.5m in the year ended 31 December, while pre-tax profit fell to €2.86m compared with €4.51m last time as operating expenses rose to €17.9m from €7.13m previously.
