Cytori Provides Update on Product Pipeline Developments and Reports First Quarter Results
 
San Diego – Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYTX) provides a quarterly update on its development pipeline and reports financial results for the first quarter of 2011.
 
Cytori is developing and commercializing unique devices designed to address multiple therapeutic areas, with an initial focus on cardiovascular disease, breast reconstruction and aesthetics. More than 3,000 patients are estimated to have been treated worldwide with the Company’s products and there are now 162 revenue-generating units across 29 countries. Some specific accomplishments during the first quarter and year-to-date include:
 
·  
Secured an expedited process with onsite review for obtaining chronic myocardial ischemia indications-for-use in Europe;
 
·  
Initiated the ADVANCE pivotal European heart attack study, with the first site now enrolling and treating;
 
·  
Reported top-line 12-month results from RESTORE 2 showing sustained high levels of patient and physician satisfaction;
 
·  
Expanded efforts to obtain European healthcare system coverage for breast reconstruction;
 
·  
Submitted multiple 510(k) applications to the FDA;
 
·  
Initiated preparations for a pre-IDE meeting with the FDA for a  US chronic myocardial ischemia clinical trial;
 
·  
Hired an experienced leader as Executive VP of Marketing and Sales, Clyde Shores, to lead global commercialization efforts; and
 
·  
Elected Tommy Thompson, former governor and HHS Secretary, to the Board of Directors and named Lloyd Dean as Chairman.
 
“We are building our organization for long-term growth,” said Christopher J. Calhoun, chief executive officer of Cytori. “Our cardiovascular disease pipeline is accelerating with a European marketing application under review, a pivotal clinical trial is treating patients, and US cardiac clinical trial preparations are in process. Regulatory claims, clinical data and reimbursement progress are now coming together to support our drive for accelerated sales growth for reconstructive surgery and aesthetics. Upcoming milestones include announcing 18-month APOLLO outcomes and complete RESTORE 2 data, Celution® One approval in Europe, US regulatory clearance and accelerating revenue growth year over year.”  

Financials:
 
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $2.6 million compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2010, including $1.4 million and $2.3 million in product sales in 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the first quarter of 2011, Cytori recognized $1.2 million in development revenues related to the Olympus-Cytori Joint Venture associated with the achievement of commencing manufacturing for the Celution® One System, as compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter 2010.
 
Quarterly revenue and gross margin variability is expected at this stage. First quarter 2011 revenues in particular were affected by the events in Japan. Notably, 72% of first quarter 2010 sales came from Japan and included a StemSource® Cell Bank. By comparison, 30% of product sales in the first quarter of 2011 came from Japan and there was no corresponding bank sale. In contrast, both European and US revenues in the first quarter grew substantially year over year. For 2011, the Company’s guidance for accelerated revenue growth remains unchanged.
 
Cytori ended the first quarter of 2011 with 162 revenue generating units compared to 149 reported at year end 2010. The Company shipped 241 consumables, including 131 reorders, during the first quarter of 2011. This compares to 342 consumables shipped, including 261 re-orders in the first quarter of 2010 and 437 consumables shipped, including 350 reorders in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, Cytori fulfilled orders for 843 PureGraft™ units in the first quarter.
 
Total operating expenses before non-cash items of change in fair value of warrants and options liabilities were approximately $9.8 million, compared to $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. First quarter expenses included costs associated with the initiation of the ADVANCE trial, and cash was used for the purchase of Celution® One devices to be installed at trial centers, a stocking order for the proprietary Celase® reagent, and a substantial pay down of accounts payable.
 
Cytori ended the quarter with $42.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, plus $1.8 million in accounts receivable. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Cytori added $1.6 million of cash from the exercise of warrants.
