RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif., Nov. 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ThermoGenesis Corp. (Nasdaq:KOOL), a leading supplier of enabling technologies for the processing, storage and administration of cell therapies, today reported results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, revenues were $4.1 million versus $4.9 million in the first quarter a year ago and $4.5 million in the prior quarter. The decline in year-over-year revenues was primarily due to decreased sales of the Company's BioArchive® System devices, reflecting the continuing softness in worldwide capital equipment purchase activity. Total disposable sales in the first quarter of 2013 were $3.0 million versus $3.5 million in the same period a year ago. Disposable sales were negatively impacted by approximately $120,000 year-over-year due to a decline in sales of disposables from its CryoSeal product line for which the Company completed a disposition during the quarter.
ThermoGenesis reported net income of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013 versus a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share, in the same period a year ago. Included in the results for the first quarter of 2013 is a gain on sale of $2.0 million related to the CryoSeal transaction.
The Company ended the quarter with $8.8 million cash compared with $7.9 million at the end of fiscal 2012. The Company's backlog at the end of first quarter was approximately $700,000.
"We continue to advance our strategy to transform ThermoGenesis into a leading provider of tools for stem cell therapy despite a challenging macroeconomic environment," said Matthew Plavan, Chief Executive Officer. "We are well positioned in the cord blood market with new distribution agreements and enhanced customer service capabilities, and look forward to recording initial revenues from our product purchase and distribution agreement with Golden Meditech Holdings Limited in China before the end of calendar 2012. As a result of these recent developments, we believe we will be able to grow quarterly revenues on a sequential basis during fiscal 2013," he continued.
"At the same time," he continued, "we have streamlined the Company to increase our focus on core business opportunities and enable us to better manage our financial resources, while continuing to respond to market shifts and longer-term opportunities, including new product development needs in developing markets."
