Cytori Reports Third Quarter & Nine Month 2010 Results

Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYTX) reports third quarter and nine month 2010 financial results. Further details, including progress of the Company’s commercial activities and product development pipeline, are provided in the ‘November 2010 Shareholder Letter', which may be accessed at http://ir.cytoritx.com.

Recently, Cytori has executed the following milestones:

·   Grew system installed-base in Europe, Asia and U.S., bringing cumulative revenue-generating units worldwide to 135;

·   Shipped 221 consumables, including 162 consumable re-orders during the third quarter;

·   Expanded European Celution® regulatory approval to include breast reconstruction and other medical indications such as treatment of Crohn’s fistulas;

·   Received approval for and launched PureGraft™ into the U.S. and European plastic and reconstructive surgery markets;

·   Finalized protocol and identified initial sites for ADVANCE, the Company’s pivotal European heart attack study, with enrollment anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2011;

·   Prepared Celution® pre-IDE applications, which will be submitted to FDA to initiate a U.S. soft tissue defect repair study; and

·   Capitalized the Company through 2012 from a public offering, raising $19.3 million in net proceeds.

Financial Results

Product revenues were $1.5 million for the quarter and $5.9 million for the first nine months in 2010, compared to $1.4 million and $4.6 million for the same time periods, respectively, in 2009. Gross profit was $0.6 million for the third quarter and $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to $0.6 million and $1.9 million for the same periods respectively in 2009.

Revenue growth for the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is due in part to increased demand for the Celution® System for private pay cosmetic surgery procedures and the sale of a StemSource® Cell Bank in each of the first two quarters of 2010, compared to one StemSource® Bank sale in the period in 2009. There was no StemSource® Cell Bank sale in the third quarter of 2010. Decline in third quarter 2010 consumable orders reflects seasonality of cosmetic procedures in July and August.

Total operating expenses were $10.3 million and $22.1 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to $7.0 million and $21.7 million for the same periods in 2009. The increase in operating expenses in the third quarter of 2010 is due in part to a $1.8 million non-cash change in the fair value of the warrant liability.  Total operating expenses reflect an increase in sales and marketing and general administration activities that was partially offset by a decrease in research and development costs.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2010 were $30.7 million. An additional $19.3 million in net proceeds were raised subsequent to the end of the quarter through a public offering of common stock.

Outlook

Cytori continues to expand the number of Celution® and StemSource® products in the field while simultaneously investing in growing system adoption, consumable usage, and broadening the market. With the recent expanded CE Mark, European sales activities will be focused increasingly on hospitals, where the new medical indications that the Celution® System received will facilitate penetration. The claims expansion coupled with the upcoming release of complete results from RESTORE 2 are expected to support our breast reconstruction reimbursement efforts in Europe. The recently approved PureGraft™ product will be marketed as a broad based fat grafting product to the private pay plastic surgery market. Pur eGraft™ users then provide an enhanced base of potential customers of the premium Celution® System.  The Asia Pacific sales activities will continue to focus on a mix of research and cosmetic surgery sales, while looking to grow into at least one new geographic region by early next year. The U.S. sales activities will continue to focus on penetrating the U.S. private pay autologous fat grafting market with PureGraft™ while continuing to generate StemSource® System sales for research and banking.

Conference Call & Shareholder Letter

Cytori will host a conference call and question and answer session at 5:00 PM Eastern Time today to further discuss these results. The audio webcast of the conference call may be accessed under "Webcasts" in the Investor Relations section of Cytori's website (www.cytori.com). The webcast will be available live and by replay two hours after the call and archived for 90 days.
