Cytori Reports First Quarter 2016 Business and Financial Results

SAN DIEGO, May 10, 2016—Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) ("Cytori" or the "Company") today announced its first quarter financial results and provided updates on its corporate activity and clinical development.

First quarter 2016 net loss allocable to common stockholders was $5.3 million and $0.03 per share (or $0.41 per share after the effect of a 1:15 reverse stock split announced on May 10, 2016). Cytori continues to manage its operating cash burn, spending approximately $5.1 million in the first quarter 2016. Cytori ended the first quarter of 2016 with $9.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.

 "The business fundamentals continue to strengthen," said Dr. Marc H. Hedrick, President and CEO of Cytori Therapeutics. "The US trial enrollment for our lead indication is nearly complete, we see positive trends on revenue and we continue see new opportunities for our technology that are in alignment with the Company's core strategic direction."

Select Recent Highlights:

· Investigator presentation of SCLERADEC I 24-month follow-up data reported sustained benefit for scleroderma hand dysfunction

· Broad  orphan drug designation and small or medium-size enterprise (SME) status granted by European Medicines Agency

· Launch of compassionate use program for scleroderma in Europe in partnership with Idis Managed Access

· Announcement of STAR enrollment progress consistent with development timelines

Q1 2016 Financial Performance

· Q1 2016 operating cash burn of $5.1 million, compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2015.

· Cash and debt principal balances at March 31, 2016 of approximately $9.4 million and $17.7 million, respectively.

· Q1 2016 total revenues of $2.9 million, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2015.

· Q1 2016 net loss of $5.3 million or $0.41 per share, compared to $6.5 million, which excludes a non-cash charge of $15.4 million related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and a beneficial conversion feature charge for convertible preferred stock of $0.7 million, or $0.92 per share for the same period in 2015.

"Q1 2016 net loss was approximately 20% lower than Q1 2015, despite an expansion of our investments in research and development," said Tiago Girao, VP of Finance and CFO of Cytori Therapeutics. "For the remainder of 2016, we plan to continue to narrow our quarterly losses and decrease the need for capital through a number of initiatives. These efforts consist largely of balancing further improvements in operational efficiency, working capital management, increased revenue, and an intense focus on those activities that we believe will contribute to stockholder value creation."

Anticipated Near Term Catalysts:

· Complete enrollment of  US  STAR phase III trial (anticipated by mid-June 2016) for scleroderma hand dysfunction

· Report of 48-week US pilot/phase IIb ACT-OA trial (94 patients) with data analysis in Q3 2016

· Complete enrollment of investigator-initiated EU phase III SCLERADEC-II trial (anticipated in 2016) for scleroderma hand dysfunction

· File IDE and obtain approval for burn wound therapy trial related to contract with BARDA (anticipated in 2016)

2016 Reiterated Financial Guidance

· Operating cash burn within a range of $18 million to $20 million

· Total revenues (product and contract) within a range of $12 million to $14 million
