Cordlife posts $18.7m net loss in FY2024

The group’s revenue also plunged to $27.8m.

Cordlife Group Limited reported a net loss of $18.7m for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, reversing from a net profit of $3.6m in 2023.

Excluding the financial impact of refunds and waivers related to high-risk storage tanks, the company said net loss would have been $8.3m.

The group’s revenue plunged to $27.8m, down from $55.7m in FY2023, largely due to the nearly nine-month suspension of its Singapore operations. Adjusting for a $10.4m revenue reversal linked to the high-risk tank refunds, revenue would have been $38.2m.

Turnover from the company’s core cord blood banking business fell to $23.9m from $51.3m a year earlier as the number of processed and stored samples declined by 31.6% across Singapore, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia amidst weaker consumer sentiment.

Despite the challenging financial performance, Cordlife remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of the cord blood banking industry, citing rising demand for preventive healthcare.

The group also emphasised its strong balance sheet as a buffer against economic and liability-related uncertainties.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
