IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX, CYRXW), the world's leading cryogenic logistics company dedicated to the life sciences industry, today announced financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.

Cryoport, Inc.

"We are pleased with the strong continued revenue growth achieved for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year," commented Jerrell Shelton, Cryoport's Chief Executive Officer. "Increased attention to and investment in our support of the regenerative therapies industry is translating into higher logistics revenue for Cryoport in this space. We are now supporting a record-breaking 195 clinical trials, with 23 new clinical trials secured in the third quarter, driving a 65% year-over-year revenue increase in our lead market, the biopharma market. We are proud of the significant traction we have made in supporting our client's clinical trials. We believe that this activity is the just the 'tip of the iceberg' as our biopharma market revenue is expected to significantly ramp as our clients' regenerative therapies reach commercial viability, requiring more extensive logistics support from Cryoport.

"We believe that this 'tipping point' for cellular therapies is fast approaching with Novartis and Gilead's Kite Pharma recently securing FDA approval to commercialize their respective first of their kind CAR-T therapies. Cryoport is proud to support the commercial distribution for both these companies as well as their respective pipelines of regenerative therapies. In fact, we have entered into long-term contracts in support of the commercial logistics for these first CAR-T therapies from Gilead's Kite Pharma (YescartaTM) and Novartis (KymriahTM). Cryoport provides both companies with comprehensive and tailored end-to-end cold chain logistics solutions and we expect our revenue to ramp as the demand for these ground-breaking therapies accelerates.

"Analysts' forecasts indicate that the global regenerative medicine market will grow to $54 billion by 2021, as research and development continues to capture the potential for regenerative therapies to treat previously untreatable diseases. This trend in the practice of medicine, is just at the early stages of gaining traction globally. We believe that Cryoport is at the right place at the right time, with significant revenue opportunities as evidenced by our two long-term commercial agreements supporting the first two "first of their kind" FDA-approved CAR-T therapies. We believe that Cryoport's position as a critical solution provider supporting temperature-controlled logistics to this biopharma sector presents a phenomenal global growth opportunity for our company.

"We are firmly committed to ensuring that Cryoport remains at the forefront of innovation and builds its reputation as the 'gold standard' provider of the most advanced and reliable cold chain logistics solutions for the life sciences industry. This was recently demonstrated by the expansion of our solutions offering and launch of our new, state-of-the-art C3™ logistics solution, to support high-value regenerative therapies that require temperature-controlled transportation within the 2 - 8°C temperature range, usually associated with apheresis.

"In addition to our growing success in BioPharma, we continued to grow our presence in the Animal Health and Reproductive Medicine markets, where revenue growth was 33% and 12%, respectively, for the three-month period. The high-quality solutions we provide to these markets, along with our growing reputation across the life sciences industry for reliability and innovation, continues to drive new client agreements and stronger revenue performance in both these markets," concluded Mr. Shelton.
