Cytori Reports First Quarter 2015 Business and Financial Results
 
 
SAN DIEGO, May 11, 2015—Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) today announced its first quarter financial results and provided updates on its corporate activity and clinical development.
 
 
Cytori continued to reduce its operating cash burn, spending a total of $5 million in the first quarter 2015, compared to $9 million in Q1 2014. First quarter 2015 net loss allocable to common stock holders was $22.6 million (or $7.2 million and $0.07 per share when excluding a non-cash charge of $15.4 million related to the change in fair value of warrant liability) compared to $10 million (or $0.14 per share) for the same period in 2014. Cytori ended the first quarter of 2015 with $13.2 million of cash and cash equivalents or approximately $39 million pro-forma at March 31, 2015, when considering $25.7 million in net cash proceeds since March 31, 2015 from the issuance of shares under its ATM program, warrant exercises, and the net proceeds from the initial closing of a registered direct offering, which closed on May 8, 2015.

Hedrick, President and CEO of Cytori Therapeutics. “Now the lion’s share of our corporate focus and energy will go into trial enrollment and strategically managing our clinical pipeline.”
 

 
“Enrollment in the ACT-OA trial is proceeding as anticipated; we now have 38 patients enrolled into this 90 patient trial.  We are confident that we will complete enrollment this year” said Dr. Steven Kesten, Chief Medical Officer of Cytori Therapeutics. “In addition, the Scleroderma program is a key component of our overall clinical strategy and we are very active in laying the groundwork to begin the U.S. trial in the next few months”.
 

 
Q1 Financial Performance
 
 
·  
Cash and debt balances at March 31, 2015 of approximately $13.2 million (or approximately $39 million pro-forma) and $25.4 million, respectively.
 
 
·  
Q1 operating cash burn of $5.0 million, compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2014.
 
 
·  
Q1 product revenue of $0.9 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2014.
 
 
·  
Q1 contribution (profit/loss) from our sales and marketing organization, excluding share based compensation, of a loss of $0.5 million, compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the same period in 2014.
 
 
·  
Q1 contract revenue of $1.4 million, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2014.
 
 
·

“The reduced operating cash burn, combined with our renegotiated Olympus liability, the proceeds from recent warrant exercises, ATM, and the first closing of $19.4 million of our recently announced equity offering, significantly strengthened our balance sheet and enhances our ability to restructure our debt obligations, and more importantly, it provides liquidity for well over 12 months of operations” said Tiago Girao, VP of Finance and CFO of Cytori Therapeutics. “We can now stay laser-focused on the execution of our key clinical objectives with continued emphasis on the two late stage U.S. clinical trials”.
