Cytori Reports Nine Month and Third Quarter 2013 Business and Financial Results

San Diego, CA - Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) today reports its nine month and third quarter 2013 financial results and provides updates on clinical development, commercialization and corporate development activities.
 
Total revenue for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $8.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Net loss for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $16.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively.
 
Milestone Highlights

Cytori’s year-to-date accomplishments include the following:

·  
Formed a commercialization partnership for select emerging markets, including $24 million in equity, a long term supply agreement with an initial $7 million product purchase commitment, and up to $500 million in commercial milestones
 
·  
Under the BARDA contract, the Company made significant progress toward the achievement of critical preclinical milestones needed to seek up to $56 million in additional funding
 
·  
Expanded the number of actively recruiting centers in the ATHENA clinical trial program to seven and identified additional sites for ATHENA II
 
·  
Received approvals for the Celution® System in Australia and Singapore
 
·  
Awarded seven patents, including a methods patent for using adipose-derived regenerative cell therapy for treating renal disease and licensed exclusive rights to a patent related to adipose-derived regenerative cells for the treatment of autoimmune diseases
 
 “The recently signed partnership significantly strengthens our balance sheet, accelerates the expansion of our international cardiovascular business, and positions us for future revenue growth,” said Christopher J. Calhoun, Cytori’s Chief Executive Officer. “Year-to-date, we continued to make progress globally in our heart failure program and U.S. trials and are close to achieving all three objectives under the BARDA contract to qualify for the next phase worth up to $56 million.”

Financial Performance

Total revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $8.7 million compared to $7.2 million for the first nine months of 2012. Total product and contract revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $6.9 million, which consisted of $4.4 million in product sales and $2.5 million in contract revenue. Total product and contract revenues for the first nine months of 2012 were $4.8 million, which consisted of $4.7 million in product sales and negligible contract revenues. Total product and cash contract revenues for the third quarter of 2013 were $2.7 million, compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. Based on projected sales in the fourth quarter of 2013, Cytori reiterates its 2013 revenue objective of $14 million in combined product and contract revenue.

Gross profit for the first nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $2.1 million and $0.7 million respectively compared to $2.2 million and $0.6 million respectively for the first nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Research and development expenses for the first nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $12.0 million and $4.1 million compared to $9.6 million and $3.6 million respectively for the first nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2012. The planned increase in research and development expenses is predominately related to reimbursed services performed under the BARDA contract, in addition to increased clinical trial costs. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $18.7 million and $6.1 million respectively compared to $18.9 million and $6.2 million respectively for the first nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Net loss for the first nine months of 2013 was $16.1 million, or ($0.24) per share, compared to $28.5 million, or ($0.49) per share, in the first nine months of 2012. Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was $5.3 million, or ($0.08) per share, compared to $11.2 million, or ($0.19) per share, in the third quarter of 2012. The reduction of net loss for the first nine months of 2013 is predominately attributable to gains totaling $9.3 million from the sale of Puregraft® in the third quarter of 2013 and from the gain on previously held equity interest in the Olympus-Cytori Joint Venture in the second quarter of 2013.

Cytori ended the third quarter of 2013 with $10.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $2.6 million in accounts receivable. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Cytori entered into a strategic partnership that will bring in $24 million in committed capital before the end of the year from the partnering agreement. The cash is expected to enable the Company to meet potential 2014 milestones such as achieving options under the BARDA contract and presentation of initial ATHENA data.
 
 

 
Strategic Partnership

Emerging Markets

Cytori entered a partnership with Lorem Vascular subsequent to the end of the quarter to commercialize Cytori Cell Therapy in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Under the agreement, Cytori and Lorem Vascular entered into a long term supply agreement for a 30-year exclusive license to Cytori Cell Therapy for cardiovascular disease, renal failure, diabetes, and all other indications, except alopecia and aesthetics, in the licensed territories. Pursuant to our agreement, Lorem Vascular will pay up to $500 million in commercial milestones and will initially commit to order $7 million in Celution® devices and consumables. Lorem Vascular will place its first order for $2 million of Cytori Cell Therapy products immediately, followed by a $5 million order to be placed upon regulatory approval in China, anticipated to be received in 2014. In a related transaction, Cytori will receive $24 million in exchange for the sale of 8 million shares of Cytori common stock at $3.00 per share. Equity purchased will be closed in two installments; a $12 million payment has been received and a second $12 million payment that will be made by the end of 2013. In addition, one board seat will be granted to Mr. K.T. Lim, Chairman of Lorem Vascular.
 
Cardiovascular Disease Pipeline

Heart Failure: ATHENA I & II Trials

ATHENA I is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating Cytori Cell Therapy for heart failure due to ischemic heart disease. ATHENA I will enroll 45 patients at a dose of 0.4MM cells/kg at eight centers. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company expects to initiate ATHENA II enrollment of 45 patients at a higher dose of 0.8MM cells/kg at up to ten trial centers. During the recent quarter, Cytori took action to modify the ATHENA protocols to enhance enrollment and safety, streamline the screening process, better align ATHENA I and II trials and facilitate the process of obtaining approval of an anticipated U.S. pivotal trial. Enrollment, which was deferred during the IRB approval process, has now resumed at seven of eight centers. Our updated projection is that ATHENA I should be fully enrolled by April 2014 and the first patient in ATHENA II may be enrolled in January 2014. Presentation of ATHENA I top-line six-month data is expected to be announced in the second half of 2014, full enrollment of ATHENA II is anticipated in the second half of 2014 and initiation of the U.S. pivotal trial in 2015.

Acute Myocardial Infarction: ADVANCE Trial

ADVANCE is the Company’s European clinical trial for acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks). Cytori previously announced plans to discontinue ADVANCE following a review of the Company’s global cardiovascular strategy, resource utilization and development priorities. The trial has enrolled 23 patients who will continue to be followed according to the trial protocol.

BARDA Contract

Cytori’s contract with BARDA, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, may provide up to $106 million to fully fund the regulatory and clinical trials required by FDA to gain approval for Cytori’s Celution® System for the treatment of thermal burn injuries. The initial phase of the contract includes approximately $5 million in research funding to achieve three principal objectives. Attaining all three objectives qualifies Cytori to seek a second phase of the contract worth up to $56 million in additional funding toward product development and clinical trials.

Cytori has submitted a final report demonstrating completion of the first objective, which was validation of the performance of the next-generation Celution® System. During the third quarter, Cytori submitted data to BARDA demonstrating substantial progress on the second and third objectives. On the basis of this progress the Company is in the process of accelerating the scheduling of an In-Process Review (IPR) meeting with BARDA early in the first quarter of 2014. Favorable review at this meeting may lead to funding of up to $32.6 million over three years for Option 1. This would fund a pilot stage clinical trial program in thermal burn injury, ongoing development of the next generation Celution® System, and any FDA-required preclinical studies. Cytori anticipates a second IPR meeting on schedule for Option 3. Option 3 is valued at up to $23.4 million over approximately four years.

Commercial Sales Efforts

Cytori’s sales efforts continue to focus primarily on researchers performing investigator-initiated and sponsored studies. This supports the Company’s strategy of facilitating the development of additional therapeutic applications for its cell therapy. For the fourth quarter of 2013 and into 2014, product revenue growth will be driven by expanded research and general clinical use based on recent regulatory approvals in Japan, Europe, and Asia Pacific, planned international registration studies, and the aforementioned strategic partnership.

Specifically, during the third quarter, Cytori received notice from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) that the Celution® System was approved for commercial use through inclusion on the Australian Registry of Therapeutic Goods. Additionally, the Celution® System was approved subsequent to the end of the quarter in Singapore and Cytori has registered the Celution® System for commercial sale in New Zealand.

About Cytori
 
Cytori Therapeutics is developing cell therapies based on autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) to treat cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions.  Our scientific data suggest ADRCs improve blood flow, moderate the inflammatory response and keep tissue at risk of dying alive. As a result, we believe these cells can be applied across multiple “ischemic” conditions. These therapies are made available to the physician and patient at the point-of-care by Cytori’s proprietary technologies and products, including the Celution® System product family. www.cytori.com
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This press release includes forward-looking statements regarding events, trends and business prospects, which may affect our future operating results and financial position, such as our expectation of completion of enrollment of the ATHENA clinical trial by the end of the first quarter of 2014 with six month results in the second half of 2014, full enrollment in ATHENA II in 2014 and initiation of a pivotal trial in 2015, our ability to meet the BARDA proof-of-concept milestones by the first quarter of 2014 and conduct a successful In-Process Review meeting, our expectation of continuing demand from investigator-initiated trial customers, our expectation of product revenue growth based on recent regulatory approvals including Class I registration in Japan, expanded Celution® System CE Mark clearance in Europe for intravascular delivery and tissue ischemia, and approvals and country registrations in other regions throughout the world, our ability to meet our product and contract revenue objectives, our acceleration and expansion of our international cardiovascular business, and our publication of 18-month trial outcomes from the PRECISE trial. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially. Some of these risks include the level of future interest in our products by Japan research institutions, performance of our Japan distribution network, clinical, pre-clinical and regulatory uncertainties, such as those associated with the ATHENA clinical trial and the BARDA proof-of-concept milestones, including risks in the collection and results of clinical data, final clinical outcomes, dependence on third party performance, performance and acceptance of our products in the marketplace, and other risks and uncertainties described under the "Risk Factors" in our annual and quarterly Securities and Exchange Commission Filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
