PR Newswire

IRVINE, Calif., May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) (NASDAQ: CYRXW) ("Cryoport" or the "Company"), the global leader in temperature-controlled logistics dedicated to the life sciences industry, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

Cryoport, Inc.

"Our First Quarter revenue increased 48% year-over-year, or 21% sequentially, to $4 million," Jerrell Shelton, Chief Executive Officer of Cryoport, commented. "This was another strong quarter for Cryoport as we continue to ramp reported revenue from our commercial agreements to provide logistics support for Gilead's Yescarta™ and Novartis' Kymriah™, the first two FDA-approved CAR-T therapies. We believe the rollout of these therapies will accelerate based on our clients' schedules; thus, driving significant revenue growth for the Company for the remainder of 2018 and beyond. Moreover, the FDA has just approved Novartis' Kymriah™ for its second indication, the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, which will drive further expansion of our logistics support to Novartis.

"We also continued to grow the foundation for medium and long-term growth during the first quarter as we increased the number of clinical trials we support by 22, bringing the total number of clinical trials we support to a record 236, up from 214 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, and 139 at the end of the first quarter of 2017. Significantly, 31 of these clinical trials currently supported by Cryoport are now in Phase III. Furthermore, we anticipate supporting five or six additional BLA or EMA filings in 2018, based on internal information and a forecast from the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, in addition to Kymriah's second indication FDA approval.

"This growth in our clinical trial support programs represents embedded revenue growth, and together with the anticipated rollout of Gilead's and Novartis' commercial therapies, should fuel significant top line revenue growth for the remainder of 2018 and beyond. As a result of these developments and our infrastructure buildout, Cryoport, by all measures, is in the strongest position it has ever been. Most assuredly, we will continue to work diligently to maintain our market position as the new wave of regenerative therapies roll out and provide patients with potentially life-saving treatment alternatives. Our role in the personalized medicine market presents Cryoport with increasing opportunities to serve this revolution in medicine and build shareholder value for many years.

"In addition to the tremendous growth opportunities in the Biopharma market, we also continue to believe that both the Reproductive Medicine and Animal Health markets have considerable upside for growth," concluded Mr. Shelton.
