PRESS RELEASE
Cellectis: 2013 financial results A transitional year
Paris, France, 11 April 2014 – Cellectis SA (Alternext: ALCLS) presented its consolidated financial statements for 2013, as approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting on April 10, 20141.
2013 Financial Statements
- Operating revenue decreased by 21% in comparison with 2012, directly impacted by the brutal collapse of the tools and services market in 2013.

- As of December 31 2013, Cellectis' equity was €5M, and net cash position was €7.6M.
