ROCKVILLE, MD, May 12, 2026 - 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 its first quarter ended March 31, 2026 financial results and reiterated its 2026 guidance.

"We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter, and remain confident in our full year guidance," said Maher Masoud, President and CEO of MaxCyte. "Our core revenue from partners and customers was in line with our expectations for both our ExPERT electroporation platforms and SeQure services. The SPL portfolio continues to advance in the clinic, including a clinical customer that began dosing patients in a registrational study in the first quarter, and we remain confident additional customers will initiate registrational trials this year. Further, our SPL portfolio remains strong and spans a broad range of modalities and indications. MaxCyte remains extremely well positioned in the cell & gene therapy industry, with leading technology and an efficient cost structure. Reflecting continued confidence in our strategy and the long-term value of our business, the Board today authorized a $10 million share repurchase. This authorization provides us with flexibility in capital allocation while we continue to invest in key growth initiatives, including the recent launch of ExPERT DTx and the integration of SeQure Dx. We believe this balanced approach enables us to both reinvest in the business and return capital to shareholders."

Share Repurchase Program

MaxCyte's board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program for up to $10 million of the Company's outstanding common stock within a one-year period, unless extended or shortened by the board of directors. Any repurchases would be made in the open market and/or in privately negotiated transactions, and may be made from time to time or in one or more larger repurchases. Repurchases may be made pursuant to one or more trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1, through discretionary open market purchases during periods when the Company's trading window is open, and/or in privately negotiated transactions. Open market purchases are expected to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company expects to utilize a majority of the approved $10 million in the short to medium term, however, the amount and timing of any repurchases made under the repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including available liquidity, cash flow and market conditions. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.
