ORGANOVO ANNOUNCES FISCAL SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS; COMPANY AFFIRMS FULL-YEAR FISCAL 2016 AND LONG-RANGE OUTLOOK
SAN DIEGO, Ca. – November 9, 2015 – Organovo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: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 2016 and affirmed its full-year fiscal 2016 and long-range outlook. Net loss was $11.3 million, or $0.12 per share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2016, as compared to $8.9 million, or $0.11 per share, for the fiscal second quarter of 2015.
Organovo reported fiscal second-quarter total revenue of $0.3 million, which consisted of $0.2 million of products and services revenue and $0.1 million of collaborations and grants revenue. Total revenue increased 502 percent versus the comparable period of fiscal 2015. Products and services revenue, which primarily represents revenue from the exVive3DTM Human Liver Tissue research service and product, increased by $0.2 million from the year-ago period. The Company commercially released the exVive3D Human Liver Tissue in November 2014.
The Company also achieved its next milestone for its kidney program ahead of schedule. Functional validation of its kidney tissue, due to be achieved in December 2015, was completed in October 2015. The Company is preparing the data, which includes functional measurement of tissue performance, as well as characteristic toxic behavior of known molecules, for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Organovo remains on schedule to initiate contracting for this product in the calendar third quarter of 2016.
“We affirmed our fiscal 2016 and long-range outlook across the board today and are pleased with our momentum through the fiscal second quarter,” said Keith Murphy, CEO, Organovo. “We participate in attractive and growing markets with critical unmet needs, benefit from favorable competitive dynamics that come with a first mover advantage, and own a leading technology with a strong IP portfolio. Taking all this together, we expect solid revenue growth through an expanding product and service platform.”
Murphy continued, “We’ve made progress in key strategic areas, by both aligning our sales, marketing and R&D functions to optimize our commercial execution and continuing to build the scientific data that supports the predictive power of our solutions in addressing the major gaps in pharmaceutical discovery. Our commercial in vitro tissue business has an expanded footprint,
with dedicated business development resources in the U.S. and Europe driving these complex solutions sales. We’re also investing significantly in developing additional data sets to grow the preclinical safety market and increase customer penetration.”
Murphy concluded, “As we look to the second half of fiscal 2016, we’re focused on a few key targets including accelerated liver tissue revenue growth, ongoing development of our kidney tissue now that we’ve achieved functional validation, and business development initiatives in the drug discovery and therapeutic tissue spaces.”
Organovo Business Highlights

Products and services revenue was $0.2 million, up from $0.0 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by customer contracts for the Company’s exVive3D Human Liver Tissue research services. |
|
|

Collaborations and grants revenue totaled $0.1 million, largely supported by existing partnerships and research funded by grants. |
Operating Expenses
|
|
· |
Selling, general and administrative expenses grew 19 percent year-over-year to $6.8 million, reflecting increased employee costs related to sales and administrative staffing. |
|
|

Research and development expenses increased 47 percent from the prior-year period to $4.7 million, primarily due to increased employee related costs and lab supplies. |
Liquidity & Capital Resources

Net Cash Utilization Definition
|
(1) |
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 change in the amount of cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the reporting period as compared to the end of the reporting period, excluding financing activities (which would include proceeds from the sale of common stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options). Net cash utilization is an operational measure that should be considered in addition to our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This operational measure should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, 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. |

Callers should dial (888) 317-6003 (U.S. only) or (412) 317-6061 (from outside the U.S.) to access the call. The conference call ID is 9182401.
