Six-Month Financial Results
Cryoport’s net revenues increased 65% to $1.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in overall demand within the Company’s existing client base and the addition of new clients using Cryoport Express® Solutions as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Gross margin for the six months ended September 30, 2014 was 32% of net revenues, or $0.6 million, as compared to gross margin of 12% of net revenues, or $0.1 million, for the six months ended September 30, 2013. Cost of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2014 was 68% of net revenues, or $1.2 million, as compared to 88% of net revenues, or $0.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2013, which illustrates the operating leverage in the business model as revenue continues to ramp.
Net loss decreased by $13.6 million to $3.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2014, a 77% decrease as compared with a net loss of $16.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

The demand for cryogenic logistics solutions in the life sciences industry and an increase in our client base were the main contributors to the growth.
Gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 27% as compared with 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the operating leverage in the company resulting in improved economies of scale as revenues increased.
Net loss decreased by $13.6 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a 91% decrease compared with a net loss of $15.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The net loss for the second fiscal quarter last year included a debt conversion expense of $13.2 million.
Cryoport’s CEO, Jerrell Shelton, commented, “We are pleased to report another quarter of revenue growth over last year, resulting in a continued expansion of our gross margin. Our sales and marketing strategies are gaining momentum as evidenced by an active and growing sales pipeline.
