Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results; Provides Commercial and Product Pipeline Update

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - August 09, 2011) - Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYTX) provides a quarterly update on its development pipeline and reports financial results for the second quarter of 2011.

"Our focus is on advancing our cardiovascular disease product pipeline and growing our hospital-based soft tissue business," said Christopher J. Calhoun, chief executive officer of Cytori. "Simultaneously we are pursuing nearer-term sales opportunities based on our existing product approvals, implementing a plan to achieve regional profitability, and reducing overall corporate burn."

The accomplishments since the end of the first quarter include:

Cardiovascular Product Development:

  • Reported that Celution® demonstrated a sustained benefit in the APOLLO acute myocardial infarction trial at 18-months
  • Applied for European marketing approval for no-option chronic myocardial ischemia indication-for-use based on the sustained benefit observed in the PRECISE trial
  • Recently completed a pre-IDE meeting with the FDA, which we believe establishes a clear path toward initiating an IDE trial

Soft Tissue:

  • Completed formal economic analysis in the U.K. and received a cost-effectiveness recommendation by the National Innovation Center, an important step in securing U.K. reimbursement
  • Achieved key reimbursement objectives in France and Germany for expanding market access
  • Focusing sales effort to emphasize hospital customers in the G5 and to strengthen senior management and board members

Mr. Calhoun added, "We remain on track for a decision on the chronic myocardial ischemia CE Mark application and expect more reportable developments related to European reimbursement."

Financials:

Product revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were a record $2.4 million, compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. Gross profit was $1.3 million with a gross margin of 54% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to a gross profit of $1.2 million, with a gross margin of 58% for the same period in 2010.

Second quarter 2011 revenues include recognition of one StemSource® Cell Bank in Japan. In addition, Cytori is on track to complete installation of a Cell Bank in Hong Kong in the third quarter. Cytori expects revenues to continue to recover following a more challenging first quarter.

System and consumable shipments remained relatively flat while PureGraft™ shipments increased by 55% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011. Cytori ended the second quarter of 2011 with 169 cumulative revenue generating units in the field. Also during the second quarter of 2011, the Company shipped 229 consumables, including 169 reorders and 1,309 PureGraft™ units. System and consumable order growth is impacted by limited regulatory indications, absence of reimbursement in regions where products are approved, and the above noted shift of resources toward hospital sales in Europe.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2011 operating expenses of $5.7 million included a $5.2 million offset for non-cash items of change of the fair value of the warrant and option liabilities. Before any non-cash items, second quarter 2011 operating expenses were $10.9 million. This compares to total operating expenses before any non-cash items of $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Second quarter operating expenses supported the launch of the European pivotal acute heart attack trial (ADVANCE), commercial activities related to regenerative medicine applications such as reimbursement, and preparations for a U.S. clinical trial. Ongoing global and regional organizational improvements are expected to result in lower operating expenses and cash utilization in the second half of 2011.

Cytori ended the second quarter of 2011 with $33.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, plus $2.5 million in accounts receivable. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Cytori raised $6.0 million in gross proceeds as part of a financing agreement.
