Change in Fiscal Year
In September 2016, the board of directors elected to change the Company's fiscal year end from March 31 to a new fiscal year end of December 31 to align Cryoport's business calendar with that of the majority of its clients in the life sciences industry. As a result of the change, Cryoport's quarterly reporting periods will be comprised of the three calendar months ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. The Company's next periodic report filed will be filed on Form 10-KT for the transition period from April 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. For the purpose of the MD&A in the Form 10-KT and the related earnings release, the Company will compare its transitional audited nine-month period ended December 31, 2016 to the unaudited nine months ended December 31, 2015, as a result of the change in the fiscal year.
