Cryoport Revenue Grows 65% for
Commercial revenue rises to 25% of total
383 clinical trials supported
IRVINE, California, May 2, 2019 - Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CYRX) (NASDAQ: CYRXW) ("Cryoport" or "the Company"), the world's leading temperature-controlled logistics
company dedicated to the life sciences industry, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.
Jerrell Shelton, Chief Executive Officer of Cryoport stated,
"Our revenue increased 65% to $6.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, compared with the same period
in the prior year. Revenue from our commercial agreements supporting Gilead's Yescarta and Novartis'
Kymriah was $1.4 million in the First Quarter of 2019, representing a 374% increase compared with the same
quarter last year and a sequential increase of 74% over the Fourth Quarter of 2018. We continue to work in lockstep with Gilead
and Novartis to increase market penetration and help their respective, much-needed CAR-T cell therapies safely reach patients around
the world. Our commercial revenue from these agreements were driven by the advancement of the rollouts in the Americas and EMEA
(Europe, Middle East, and Africa) regions.
"We now support 383 clinical trials, up from 261 for the
same quarter last year and representing a net gain of 26 over the Fourth Quarter of 2018. As the regenerative market continues
to grow, we continue to secure new agreements with world-leading regenerative medicine companies in all geographic regions. As
examples, Celularity, a placental-based allogeneic cell therapy company, recently selected Cryoport's complete range of temperature-controlled
solutions to support its clinical trials and Biokin Pharma, a China-based biopharmaceutical company, partnered with Cryoport for
its pending Phase I and II clinical trials in immuno-oncology in both the U.S. and China. We think this momentum will continue
to drive accelerated revenue growth throughout the remainder of 2019 as we secure new agreements and our clients' clinical
pipelines continue to advance. Examples of other market drivers include the following: Subsequent to the quarter end, the FDA agreed
to a rolling review of Mesoblast's Biologics License Application (BLA) for its cell therapy for children with steroid-refractory
acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). Secondly, in the United States, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid ("CMS")
stated they are considering several changes to payment policies for CAR-T in 2020 to drive improved patient access to these much-needed
therapies. CMS also confirmed that CAR-Ts will continue to be eligible for New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) and that it would
increase NTAP from 50% of the cost of the therapy to 65%. The current maximum NTAP is $186,000 and they are recommending it be
increased to $242,450.
"To meet current and future
global demand from our Biopharma clients both in clinical and commercial stages, we are building a Global Logistics Network. Today
we have four Global Logistics Centers and one Embedded Logistics Center. Our new Global Logistics Centers in New Jersey and The
Netherlands are ramping revenue significantly, which we expect to continue throughout 2019. By focusing on establishing a networked
presence in leading life sciences hubs around the world, driven by client activity, we believe we are strategically positioning
the Company at the core of the growth which will take place in the global cellular therapy market and which will drive significant
revenue growth for Cryoport.
"In addition to the fast-growing opportunities in the
Biopharma market, we are strengthening our growth strategies in the Reproductive Medicine and Animal Health markets, both of which,
we believe, have considerable upside opportunity. For our first quarter of 2019, revenue from Reproductive Medicine increased 56%
year over year, as a result of our marketing initiatives and growing brand recognition in this market, driving stronger demand
in the Americas and EMEA.
"In closing, we are working diligently to continue to
support our clients with the most
sophisticated and reliable temperature-controlled solutions
in the life sciences industry, to build on our client base across all our markets and, of course, to build value for our long-term
Reproductive Medicine
