SAN DIEGO - Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVI), a key player in the life science reagents and services industry, announced today the immediate appointment of Bernd Brust as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and member of the Board of Directors. Brust succeeds William Trey Martin III, who has been credited with setting the stage for the company’s future growth. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has shown resilience with a 12% gain over the past week, despite facing a challenging year with a 72% decline over the past 12 months.
Brust, with over three decades of leadership experience in the life sciences sector, is recognized for his ability to turn businesses into profitable entities with expansive global reach. R. Andrew Eckert, Chairman of the Board, expressed confidence in Brust’s customer-focused approach and his alignment with Maravai’s mission to foster scientific discovery and innovation.
In his remarks, Brust acknowledged the privilege of leading Maravai and expressed eagerness to work with the team to propel scientific breakthroughs from inception to market delivery. He inherits a company with a solid financial foundation, evidenced by a strong current ratio of 5.96 and liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations, and a growing portfolio of innovative products, particularly in the expanding markets of mRNA and genomic medicine. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company maintains a moderate debt level, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.27.
The outgoing CEO, Mr. Martin, expressed pride in the genomic medicine platform established during his tenure and conveyed his anticipation for the company’s continued success.
Maravai has not updated or withdrawn its full-year 2025 financial guidance, indicating that a comprehensive business assessment led by Brust will inform any future outlook adjustments during the second-quarter earnings call in August.
Brust’s background includes significant roles in global organizations such as Antylia Scientific, where he served as Executive Chairman and CEO. Under his leadership, Antylia saw substantial growth, culminating in a sale for over $1.3 billion. His career also includes positions at Qualicaps, Life Technologies, Invitrogen Corporation, and GE Medical Systems.

In other recent news, Maravai LifeSciences reported its Q1 2025 earnings, revealing a mixed financial performance with revenue reaching $47 million, surpassing the expected $45.6 million. However, the company posted an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.08, missing the forecast of -$0.07. Moody’s Ratings downgraded Maravai Intermediate Holdings, LLC, including its corporate family rating to B3 from B2, due to weakened operating performance and decreased demand in its Nucleic Acid Production segment. Similarly, S&P Global Ratings lowered its ratings for Maravai Topco Holdings LLC to ’B-’ from ’B’, attributing this to a significant drop in revenue and EBITDA in the first quarter of 2025.
In a strategic move, TriLink BioTechnologies, a Maravai LifeSciences company, announced a License and Supply Agreement with Quantoom Biosciences to integrate TriLink’s CleanCap mRNA capping technology into Quantoom’s mRNA production platform. This partnership aims to enhance mRNA-based vaccine production, particularly in developing regions. Maravai LifeSciences also held its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, where four directors were elected to the board and Ernst & Young LLP’s appointment as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm was ratified. Despite the challenges, Maravai maintains a strong cash position of $285 million, which is expected to support its liquidity.
