ATLANTA, GA – (October 30, 2012) – CryoLife, Inc. (NYSE: CRY), a leading tissue processing and medical device company focused on cardiac and vascular surgery, announced today its results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012.  Revenues for the third quarter of 2012 increased 13 percent to a record $33.4 million compared to $29.7 million for the third quarter of 2011.  Revenues for the first nine months of 2012 increased 11 percent to a record $98.9 million compared to $89.2 million for the first nine months of 2011.

Steven G. Anderson, president and chief executive officer, said, “We achieved another quarter of double-digit revenue growth which, coupled with our improving operating structure, contributed to strong cash flow generation and solid bottom line results.  During the quarter we initiated a cash dividend, demonstrating the consistency of our cash flow and our commitment to increasing shareholder value.  We made good progress in the integration of the Hemosphere acquisition, and we continue to see a significant opportunity to grow this business as part of CryoLife.  In addition, our tissue processing segment results came in ahead of our expectations.  Accordingly, we have raised our full year revenue and EPS guidance for the second time this year, with top line growth now expected to be 10 to 11 percent and EPS expected to be in the range of $0.25 to $0.27 cents.”

Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per basic and fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per basic and fully diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2011.  Net income for the third quarter of 2012 included $796,000 in business development and integration charges primarily related to the acquisition of Hemosphere and $130,000 related to litigation expense.  Excluding these charges, proforma non-GAAP earnings per share would have been $0.08 in the third quarter of 2012.  Net income for the third quarter of 2011 included $1.1 million in costs related to business development and integration, and $881,000 related to litigation expenses.  Excluding these charges, proforma non-GAAP earnings per share would have been $0.09 in the third quarter of 2011.

Net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $5.9 million, or $0.21 per basic and fully diluted common share, compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.20 per basic and $0.19 per fully diluted common share, for the first nine months of 2011.  Net income for the first nine months of 2012 included a pretax benefit of $4.7 million related to the settlement of the litigation with Medafor, pretax charges of $4.1 million related to the settlement of the litigation with CardioFocus, $1.9 million in business development and integration charges primarily related to the acquisition of Hemosphere, and $3.7 million in litigation expenses offset by $3.4 million in reimbursement of certain litigation expenses from insurance carriers.  Excluding these charges and benefits, proforma non-GAAP earnings per share would have been $0.25 in the first nine months of 2012.  Net income for the first nine months of 2011 included $4.1 million in costs related to business development and integration, and $1.0 million for litigation expenses net of insurance reimbursements.  Excluding these charges, proforma non-GAAP earnings per share would have been $0.30 in the first nine months of 2011.

Product segment revenues were $16.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, up 13 percent from $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2011.  Product segment revenues were $50.0 million for the first nine months of 2012, up 14 percent from $43.9 million in the first nine months of 2011.

Surgical sealant and hemostat revenues, which consisted primarily of sales of BioGlue® and PerClot® in 2012, were $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 5 percent.  The increase in surgical sealant and hemostat revenues was primarily due to an increase in BioGlue shipments into international markets, largely Japan.

Surgical sealant and hemostat revenues were $41.9 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $40.6 million for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of 3 percent.  The increase in surgical sealant and hemostat revenues was primarily due to an increase in BioGlue shipments into international markets, largely Japan, partially offset by the lack of HemoStase revenues in the first nine months of 2012.  The Company discontinued U.S. and international sales of HemoStase at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

Revascularization technologies revenues were $2.1 million for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011.  Revascularization technologies revenues were $6.1 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2011.  The increase in revascularization technologies is a result of the Company’s acquisition of Cardiogenesis in May 2011.

HeRO® Graft revenues were $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $2.0 million for the first nine months of 2012 as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Hemosphere in May 2012.

Preservation services revenues were $16.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 12 percent.  Cardiac preservation services revenues increased 22 percent for the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to an increase in shipments of cardiac tissues.  Vascular preservation service revenues increased 3 percent for the third quarter of 2012 due to an increase in shipments of vascular tissues.

Preservation services revenues were $48.4 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $45.0 million in the first nine months of 2011, an increase of 7 percent.  Cardiac preservation services revenues increased 13 percent for the first nine months of 2012 primarily due to an increase in shipments of cardiac tissues.  Vascular preservation service revenues increased 3 percent for the first nine months of 2012 due to an increase in shipments of vascular tissues.

Total gross margins were 64 percent in the third quarters of 2012 and 2011.   Preservation services gross margins were 45 percent in the third quarter of 2012 and 43 percent in the third quarter of 2011.  Product gross margins were 82 percent and 84 percent for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Total gross margins increased to 64 percent in the first nine months of 2012, up from 63 percent in the first nine months of 2011, driven by higher gross margins from the Company’s existing tissues business, an increase in the mix of higher margin products partially resulting from the acquisition of the Cardiogenesis and Hemosphere product lines.  Preservation services gross margins were 45 percent and 43 percent for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Product gross margins were 83 percent and 84 percent for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

General, administrative, and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were $16.5 million compared to $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2011.  General, administrative, and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2012 increased compared to 2011 primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses, including costs of the Company’s expanded sales staff and increases in spending on advertising, partially offset by a decrease in litigation expense.  General, administrative, and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2012 and 2011 included approximately $796,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, in business development and integration expenses.

General, administrative, and marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2012 were $48.4 million compared to $42.7 million for the first nine months of 2011.  General, administrative, and marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2012 increased compared to 2011 due to the cumulative effect of the following: the settlement of the litigation with CardioFocus, an increase in marketing expenses, including costs of the Company’s expanded sales staff, increases in spending on advertising, and an increase in litigation expenses, partially offset by a benefit from the settlement of the litigation with Medafor and the reimbursement of certain litigation expenses from insurance carriers.  General, administrative, and marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 included approximately $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, in business development and integration expenses.

Research and development expenses were $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Research and development expenses were $5.2 million and $5.1 million for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Research and development spending in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 was focused on PerClot, HeRO graft, SynerGraft® tissues and products, BioFoam™ Surgical Matrix, and revascularization technologies.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company purchased 14,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $5.44, resulting in aggregate purchases of $74,000.  During the first nine months of 2012, the Company purchased 639,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $5.15, resulting in aggregate purchases of $3.3 million.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $13.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and securities, compared to $27.0 million at December 31, 2011.  Of this $13.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and securities, $740,000 was received from the U.S. Department of Defense as advance funding for the development of BioFoam protein hydrogel technology, and $5.0 million was designated as restricted cash and securities primarily due to a financial covenant requirement under the Company’s credit agreement.  The Company’s net cash flows provided by operations were $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2011.

2012 Financial Guidance

The Company is updating its guidance for the full year of 2012.  The Company expects total revenues for the full year of 2012 to be between $131.0 million and $133.0 million, which include revenues of approximately $500,000 related to the use of funds received from the U.S. Department of Defense in connection with the development of BioFoam.  This represents annual total revenue growth of 10 percent to 11 percent.  This compares with prior full year 2012 revenue guidance of $129.0 million to $133.0 million, which represented growth of 8 percent to 11 percent.

The Company expects tissue processing revenues to increase in mid-single digits on a percentage basis for the full year of 2012 compared to 2011.  Revenues from the Company’s higher margin product segment are expected to grow between 12 percent and 15 percent for the full year of 2012.  This includes expectations for BioGlue and BioFoam revenues to increase in the mid-single digits on a percentage basis in 2012 compared to 2011, and PerClot revenues to be between $2.7 million and $3.0 million.  The Company expects revenues from revascularization technologies to be between $8.0 million and $8.5 million in 2012.  The Company expects HeRO Graft revenues to be between $3.2 million and $3.6 million in 2012.

constraining effect on hospital budgets and demand for our tissues and products could decrease in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, healthcare policy changes, including recent federal legislation to reform the U.S. healthcare system, may have a material adverse impact on us, the loss of any of our sole-source suppliers could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows, we may be unsuccessful in our efforts to market and sell PerClot in the U.S. and internationally, factors that have negatively impacted revascularization technologies revenues in the first nine months of 2012 may continue for the remainder of 2012, we have inherited risks and uncertainties related to Cardiogenesis’ business, we may expand through acquisitions, or licenses of, or investments in, other companies or technologies, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders and consume resources that may be necessary to sustain our business, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions and we may find it difficult to integrate recent or potential future acquisitions of technology or business combinations, which could disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely impact our operating results, we are subject to stringent domestic and foreign regulation which may impede the approval process of our tissues and products, hinder our development activities and manufacturing processes, and, in some cases, result in the recall or seizure of previously cleared or approved tissues and products, our tissues and products are subject to regulatory scrutiny and the FDA or other regulatory body could revoke our registration, require us to recall our tissues and products, change our processes or procedures, or take other enforcement actions, we received a Form 483 Notice of Observations from the FDA related to our processing, preservation, and distribution of human tissue and the manufacture of our medical devices, and it is possible that we may not be able to address the observations in a manner satisfactory to the FDA, we may not be successful in obtaining necessary clinical results and regulatory approvals for services and products in development, and our new services and products may not achieve market acceptance, uncertainties related to patents and other proprietary technology rights may adversely impact the value of our intellectual property or may result in our payment of significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments, negatively impact our ability to sell current or future products, or prohibit us from enforcing our patent and other proprietary technology rights against others, intense competition may impact our ability to operate profitably, if we are not successful in expanding our business activities in international markets, we may be unable to increase our revenues, we are dependent on the availability of sufficient quantities of tissue from human donors, key growth strategies may not generate the anticipated benefits, investments in new technologies and acquisitions of products or distribution rights may not be successful, regulatory action outside of the U.S. has affected our business in the past and may affect our business in the future, consolidation in the healthcare industry could continue to result in demands for price concessions, limits on the use of our tissues and products, and limitations on our ability to sell to certain of our significant market segments, extensive government regulations may adversely impact our ability to develop and market services and products, the success of many of our tissues and products depends upon strong relationships with physicians, our existing insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover our actual claims liability, we may be unable to obtain adequate insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all, we are not insured against all potential losses, and natural disasters or other catastrophes could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and profitability, our credit facility, which expires in October of 2014, limits our ability to pursue significant acquisitions, our ability to borrow under our credit facility may be limited, continued fluctuation of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could materially adversely impact our business, rapid technological change could cause our services and products to become obsolete, our CryoValve SGPV post-clearance study may not provide expected results, our investment in ValveXchange, Inc. has been impaired and may, in the future, become further impaired, which could have a material adverse impact on our earnings, and we are dependent on our key personnel.  These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors detailed in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and our Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.  CryoLife does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

Investors should consider this non-GAAP information in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In addition, this non-GAAP financial information may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.  Non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted income per common share exclude litigation expenses and benefits, insurance reimbursements for litigation, and expenses for business development activities, including the Company’s transaction and integration costs primarily associated with the acquisitions of Hemosphere and Cardiogenesis.  The Company believes that this non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors regarding the operating expense structure of the Company’s existing and recently acquired operations without regard to recently settled litigation, its ongoing efforts to acquire additional complementary products and businesses, and the transaction costs incurred in connection with recently acquired businesses.  The Company does, however, expect to incur similar types of business development expenses and may incur significant litigation expenses in the future, and this non-GAAP financial information should not be viewed as a promise or indication that these types of expenses will not recur.
