THERMOGENESIS CORP. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

Four (4) Essential Milestones Completed for the Company:

Record Fiscal Q2 Revenues, CryoSeal® PMA Submission,

GE Healthcare and Medtronic International Distribution Agreements signed,

and AutoXpress™ Development Completed

 

Rancho Cordova, California (February 8, 2006) – ThermoGenesis Corp. (Nasdaq: KOOL) today announced results for its second quarter of fiscal 2006. Revenues for the three-months ended December 31, 2005 were $3,127,000, compared to $2,954,000 for the three-months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $173,000 or 6%. The gross margin for the second fiscal quarter increased 4% to $1,122,000 or 36% of net revenues compared to $950,000 or 32% of net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was $1,752,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share compared to $1,841,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Net Loss for the quarter is not directly comparable to the prior year period due to the inclusion of $341,000 related to stock-based compensation expense now required under new accounting rules.

 

Revenues for the six-months ended December 31, 2005 were $5,243,000 compared to $5,351,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2005 period, a decrease of $108,000 or 2%. The gross margin for the six-months ended December 31, 2005 increased to 33% of net revenues, or $1,709,000 as compared to 32% of net revenues, or $1,730,000 for the six-months ended December 31, 2004. The net loss for the six-months ended December 31, 2005 was $3,768,000 or $0.08 per basic and diluted common share compared to $3,720,000 or $0.08 per basic and diluted common share for the six-months ended December 31, 2004. Net Loss for the six-months is not directly comparable to the prior year period due to the inclusion of $536,000 related to stock-based compensation expense now required under new accounting rules.

 

Kevin Simpson, President and Chief Operating Officer stated, “We are very pleased with this quarter’s results having delivered record revenues in line with our previously announced target range. Equally rewarding, we are making progress toward cash flow positive having reduced our net loss by more than 20% compared to the prior year quarter, before consideration of non-cash stock compensation charges.” Simpson continued, “Most importantly, we achieved four (4) key milestones planned for the quarter; filed our U.S. CryoSeal PMA, executed our global distribution agreements with GE Healthcare and Medtronic Inc., concluded our four-year development of the AutoXpress System for cord blood processing, and introduced the AXP along with our new partner, GE Healthcare, in time for the 2005 AABB conference in Seattle.

 

On February 3, 2006, the Company announced that it had completed an offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at $4.00 per share. Net proceeds before expenses from the offering were approximately $30.1 million. Philip Coelho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “Our strengthened balance sheet allows us three (3) important advantages: one, provides comfort to our strategic partners that we will not only be a reliable supplier of products for distribution but also a capable partner for new product; two, this funding will also enable us to respond to critical emerging cell therapies in which our products or potential product line extensions can enable these cell therapies for broad market acceptance; and three, the improved balance sheet will allow us to attract the high quality executives, managers and board members required to fulfill the promise of our proprietary technologies.”
