Osiris Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
COLUMBIA, Maryland November 4, 2009 - Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIR), the leading stem cell therapeutic company focused on developing and marketing products to treat medical conditions in the inflammatory, cardiovascular and orthopedic areas, announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2009.
Highlights and Recent Developments
Prochymal for Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD)
· Phase III data for Prochymal in steroid-refractory GvHD (Protocol 280) showed significant improvement in response rates for both liver and gastrointestinal GvHD the two most deadly forms of the disease.
· In pediatric patients with steroid-refractory GvHD, Prochymal more than doubled complete response rates compared to placebo.
· Strong enrollment continues in the pediatric expanded access program (Protocol 275) with more than 60 children now having received treatment with Prochymal.
· Survival in Protocol 275 exceeds 60% despite Prochymals use as a rescue agent for children who have failed an average of 3.2 lines of treatment prior to enrollment.
Other Corporate Developments
· Earned a $15 million milestone payment from NuVasive after they reached $35 million in cumulative Osteocel sales.
· Received the second $12.5 million installment payment from NuVasive related to the sale of Osteocel.
· Created a new Biosurgery Division focused on developing high-end biologic products for use in surgical procedures.
· Achieved a $750,000 milestone from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and expanded the Phase II type 1 diabetes trial to include pediatric patients.
Having now treated more than 550 patients with GvHD, we are gaining a clear understanding of Prochymals impact in the context of this very deadly and very complex disease, said C. Randal Mills, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Osiris. It appears that Prochymals effects are particularly profound in those patients with forms of the disease that do not respond to current standard of care. We believe that Prochymal will play an important role in the treatment of GvHD, and along with our partners at Genzyme, remain confident and committed to bringing this first-in-class stem cell therapy to the patients who desperately need effective treatments.
Third Quarter Financial Results
For the third quarter of 2009, Osiris reported revenues of $10.6 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period of the prior year. Current year third quarter revenue primarily reflects the recognition of $10.0 million in amortized license fees from Genzyme. For the third quarter of 2009, Osiris reported a net loss of $6.2 million or $0.19 per share, compared to a net gain, driven by the recognition of income from the sale of Osteocel, of $5.3 million or $0.17 per share for the same period of the prior year.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2009 were $16.2 million, compared to $18.6 million incurred in the third quarter of 2008. General and administrative expenses were $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $1.9 million for the same period of the prior year. Net cash provided by continuing operations for the quarter was $40.7 million.
As of September 30, 2009, Osiris had $102.9 million of cash and short-term investments. This figure does not include the final $15 million milestone payment from NuVasive.

Words or phrases such as anticipate, believe, continue, ongoing, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, potential, predict, project or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following: our product development efforts; our clinical trials and anticipated regulatory requirements and the ability to successfully navigate these requirements; the success of our product candidates in development; status of the regulatory process for our biologic drug candidates; implementation of our corporate strategy; our financial performance; our product research and development activities and projected expenditures, including our anticipated timeline and clinical strategy for Prochymal, Chondrogen and our other MSC and biologic drug candidates; our cash needs; patents and proprietary rights; the safety and ability of our potential products to treat disease and the results of our scientific research; our plans for sales and marketing; our plans regarding our facilities; types of regulatory frameworks we expect will be applicable to our potential products; and results of our scientific research. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties related to the sale of our Osteocel assets and related transactions include typical business transactional risks, the risk of changing relationships with customers, suppliers or employees; and the risk that we may not be able to fully perform or generate or receive milestone payments. Risks and uncertainties related to our Collaboration Agreement with Genzyme for the development and commercialization of Prochymal and Chondrogen include, among others: typical business transactional risks; risks related to product development and clinical trial design, performance and completion; uncertainty of the success of Prochymal and Chondrogen in clinical trials and their ability to treat disease; Genzymes early termination and opt-out rights; the ability of Osiris and Genzyme to successfully navigate regulatory requirements and to manufacture and commercialize products; and the uncertainty as to our ability to successfully perform under the collaborative arrangement and earn milestone and royalty payments thereunder. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in the section entitled Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other Periodic Reports filed on Form 10-Q, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
