ORGANOVO ANNOUNCES FISCAL SECOND-QUARTER 2017 RESULTS; COMPANY AFFIRMS FULL-YEAR FISCAL 2017 AND LONG-RANGE OUTLOOK

SAN DIEGO – November 3, 2016 – Organovo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ONVO) (“Organovo”), a three-dimensional biology company focused on delivering scientific and medical breakthroughs using its 3D bioprinting technology, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter of 2017 and affirmed its full-year fiscal 2017 and long-range outlook.  Net loss was $9.4 million, or $0.10 per share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2017, as compared to $11.3 million, or $0.12 per share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2016.

Organovo reported fiscal second-quarter total revenue of $1.4 million, which consisted largely of product and service revenue(1).  Total revenue increased 358 percent versus the comparable period of fiscal 2016 and 54 percent versus the fiscal first quarter of 2017.  

“The first half of fiscal 2017 represents a meaningful inflection point in our growth trajectory, as we more than doubled our product and service revenue when compared to all of fiscal 2016,” said Keith Murphy, CEO, Organovo.  “We also affirmed our recently increased total revenue guidance, supported by solid adoption of our tissue research services.  We are penetrating the global Top 25 pharma segment at a rapid clip, having recently added three customers to bring our total to ten with this group, and continue to see good momentum with biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes.”   

Murphy continued, “With just two months behind us since commercialization, we’re pleased with the early traction of our kidney tissue.  We’ve signed multiple orders, including with two global Top 25 pharma customers, bringing to market an advanced way to investigate kidney toxicity of new drug candidates.  Kidney is a natural expansion of our preclinical solutions portfolio, showcasing the power and versatility of our technology platform.”

Murphy concluded, “As we look to the second half of our fiscal year, we’re focused on a few key targets including expanding our liver tissue revenue, scaling our kidney tissue offering, business development initiatives in the drug discovery space and advancing bioprinted human liver as the first candidate in our therapeutic tissue portfolio.”  

 


Organovo Business Highlights

Revenue

 

Product and service revenue was $1.0 million, up 449 percent from the prior-year period, largely driven by an increase in customer contracts for the Company’s tissue research services.  

 

Collaborations and grant revenue totaled $0.4 million, primarily supported by a milestone achievement from the Company’s agreement with Merck & Co. to develop multiple custom tissue models.

Operating Expenses

 

Cost of revenues was $0.4 million, reflecting the Company’s expenses related to manufacturing and delivering its product and service revenues.  

 

Research and development costs declined 4 percent year-over-year to $4.5 million, driven largely by a decrease in the use of outsourced professional services, partially offset by higher employee related costs due to increased staffing.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 14 percent from the prior-year period to $5.9 million, primarily due to lower compensation expense related to non-recurring separation and payroll costs for two former executives, partially offset by higher employee related costs from increased staffing.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

 

The Company ended the fiscal second quarter with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $51.7 million.  Organovo’s net cash utilization(3) during the period was $6.8 million.  During the fiscal second quarter, the Company generated net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the issuance of 997,181 shares of common stock in at-the-market (“ATM”) offerings at a weighted average price of $4.67 per share and approximately $0.5 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants.  

 

Working capital was $49.5 million to end the fiscal second quarter compared to $72.3 million in the prior-year quarter.

 

On October 25, 2016, the Company closed the issuance and sale of 10,065,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $2.75 per share.  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale were approximately $25,600,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by the Company.

 


Fiscal-Year 2017 Outlook

The Company affirmed its full-year fiscal 2017 outlook for total revenue and net cash utilization.  The Company continues to expect:  

 

Total revenue of between $4.5 million and $6.2 million for fiscal-year 2017.  Fiscal 2016 total revenue was $1.5 million.  

 

Net cash utilization of between $31.0 million and $34.0 million for fiscal-year 2017.  The Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $62.1 million for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

Long-Range Outlook

The Company affirmed its long-range outlook for potential revenue from its liver and kidney tissue products.  The Company continues to expect:

 

As it penetrates the toxicology market, Organovo’s ExViveTM Human Liver Tissue service will grow into the tens of millions in annual revenue, and has $100 million+ revenue potential in the future (inside of a total addressable market of over $1 billion).

 

As it penetrates the toxicology market, Organovo’s ExVive Human Kidney Tissue service will grow into the tens of millions in annual revenue, and has $100 million+ revenue potential in the future (inside of a total addressable market of over $2 billion). 

Definitions & Supplemental Financial Measures

(1)

Product and service revenue includes tissue research service agreements and product sales, including product sales from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Samsara Sciences Inc.

(2)

Collaboration revenue consists of license and collaboration agreements that contain multiple elements, which may include non-refundable up-front fees, payments for reimbursement of third-party research costs, payments for ongoing research, payments associated with achieving specific development milestones and royalties based on specified percentages of net product sales, if any.

(3)

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides net cash utilization as a supplemental measure to help investors evaluate the Company’s fundamental operational performance. The Company defines net

 


cash utilization as the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the reporting period (which was ($1.8 million) during the second quarter of fiscal 2017) less proceeds from the sale of common stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options during the reporting period (which was $5.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2017).  Net cash utilization is an operational measure that should be considered as additional financial information regarding our operations.  This operational measure should not be considered without also considering our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, our U.S. GAAP results.  The Company believes net cash utilization is a relevant and useful operational measure because it provides information regarding our cash utilization rate.    Management uses net cash utilization to manage the business, including in preparing its annual operating budget, financial projections and compensation plans.  The Company believes that net cash utilization is also useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies in similar industries.  However, there is no standardized measurement of net cash utilization, and net cash utilization as the Company presents it may not be comparable with similarly titled operational measures used by other companies.  Due to these limitations, the Company’s management does not view net cash utilization in isolation but also uses other measurements, such as cash used in operating activities and revenues to measure operating performance.
