Proprietary core products revenue in the first quarter of 2015 increased 30% over the first quarter of 2014 to a record $1.5 million, reflecting continued adoption of our products in clinical trials in the regenerative medicine market, as well as increased sales to our US and international distributors.
|
●
|
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2015 was 59%, compared to 44% in the first quarter of 2014. The improvement over 2014 is a result of a change in our product mix, with essentially all revenue in the quarter realized from sales of our proprietary biopreservation media products as compared to the first quarter of 2014 that included a significant amount of low margin contract-manufacturing revenue.
|
●
|
Consolidated net loss attributable to BioLife for the first quarter of 2015 was $1.0 million or $0.09/share, compared to a net loss of $0.6 million or $0.10/share in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in the loss is primarily the result of increased headcount and spending related to development and launch activities of our biologistex joint venture.
|
●
|
Cash used in operations during the quarter was $1.3 million, resulting in an end of quarter cash balance of $8.6 million.
|
●
|
New Product Introductions: Cell Thawing Media - We commenced GMP manufacturing of low molecular weight dextran solutions for use in thawing human cells after cryopreservation in response to inquiries from numerous customers and clinicians who have been subjected to an extended worldwide shortage of dextran solutions that are used off-label to transition frozen cells to room temperature.
|
●
|
New Data Published by the Mayo Clinic on Product Performance: We announced that our CryoStor cell freeze media was utilized in a Mayo Clinic porcine animal study of umbilical cord blood-derived mononuclear cells (UBC-MNC) to evaluate the safety and feasibility of these cells for cardiac regeneration in pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD).
|
●
|
New Patent: We expanded our intellectual property protection with the granting of new Australian patent number 2009228056
titled, “Materials and Methods for Hypothermic Collection of Whole Blood”.
|
●
|
Innovation Recognition: We received the 2015 Silver Award for Achievement in Medical Technology from Seattle Business Magazine.
|
●
|
Executive Appointments & Awards: Dr. Aby J. Mathew, PhD, Chief Technology Officer, was appointed to the founding board of directors of the newly formed Cord Blood Association. Also, Kevin O’Donnell, Vice President, Cold Chain Standards, Practices, and Compliance was named 2014 Distinguished Editor/Author of the Year by the Parenteral Drug Association, for his published book “Cold Chain Chronicles.
|
●
|
Continued growth in adoption and use of our proprietary biopreservation media products and estimate 20% - 30% revenue growth for these products (excluding biologistex). For the full year, we expect gross margin to be in a range of 55% to 60%.
|
●
|
Ending the year with approximately $4 million in cash. The use of cash in 2015 includes substantial costs related to the development and marketing launch of our biologistex Cold Chain Management service. We anticipate that our current cash is sufficient to meet our needs for the foreseeable future and do not expect a need to raise operating capital in 2015 or 2016.
|
●
|
Full commercialization of our biologistex Cold Chain Management service starting early in the second half of this year and to report revenue from this new service in the third quarter.
|
●
|
No future revenue from Somahlution, based on recent communication from this contract-manufacturing customer regarding the slow pace of their clinical study.
