SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CYTX) is reporting its financial results for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009. More information on commercial
and clinical progress is posted online in the `Q3 Shareholder Letter` at
http://ir.cytoritx.com. 

During the third quarter, the number of Celution and StemSource systems in the
field continued to grow, as did the number of patients treated. The cumulative
`revenue base` of combined systems increased in Q3 from 70 to 85, 12 of which
were sold to physician customers or distributors. In addition, a total of 314
consumables were shipped in the third quarter of 2009 and, as in previous
quarters, the majority represented reorders to existing accounts. To put this in
perspective, this represents more than 100% growth of the cumulative revenue
base of systems and 75% growth in the number of quarterly consumables shipped
since the beginning of 2009. 

Product revenues were $1.4 million and $4.6 million for the previous three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. This compares to $2.3
million and $3.9 million for the same periods in 2008. Gross profit was $0.6
million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009,
respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $2.5 million for the same periods in
2008. The difference in gross profit between the third quarters of 2008 and 2009
is attributable mostly to the high margin sale of a Cell Bank in Europe in the
third quarter of 2008, with no comparable sale in 2009. 

Total operating expenses, less the change in fair value of warrants and option
liabilities, were $6.7 million and $20.7 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $8.3 million and $26.6
million, for the same periods in 2008. Compared to 2008, operating expenses have
been reduced significantly due to reductions in R&D as products have gone from
development to full commercial launch and a significant reduction in G&A, offset
by a modest increase in sales and marketing. 

Net loss was $6.8 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $6.8 million and $23.5 million for
the same periods in 2008. The improvement in net loss for the first nine months
of 2009 compared to 2008 is attributable mostly to increased development
revenues and the reduction in research and development and general and
administrative expenses. 

Cytori ended the third quarter of 2009 with $13.1 million in cash and cash
equivalents plus $1.9 million in accounts receivable, compared to $12.6 million
in cash and cash equivalents and $1.3 million in accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2008. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we
completed three scheduled closings with Seaside 88, LP during the period of
October 1, 2009 through our filing date of November 9, 2009, raising in
aggregate approximately $2.6 million in gross proceeds from the sale of 825,000
shares of our common stock in connection with the agreement we entered into with
Seaside 88, LP on June 19, 2009.
