  • Increased product revenue for the quarter to $17.2 million - a 29% increase over previous quarter and 150% increase over the same period last year. Held gross margin steady at 78% for the first three quarters of fiscal 2014.
  • Completed the quarter with income from continued operations of $710,000 or $0.02 per share.
  • Increased Medicare coverage from 10 to 29 states, representing an increase from 27% to 72% of Medicare-insured lives compared to previous quarter.
  • Entered into an exclusive distribution partnership for our cartilage regenerating product Cartiform® with Arthrex Inc., the leader in sports medicine.
  • Obtained final letter from FDA confirming the resolution of the issues of the Untitled Letter of September 2013 and submitted the confirmatory Phase III clinical trial protocol for chronic wounds to medical reviewer. Osiris is seeking BLA approval for our amnion/chorion products for additional claims and indications.

“This quarter represents a turning point for Osiris,” said Lode Debrabandere, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our wound care business continues to drive revenue growth supported by the expansion of the sales force, the significant increase in the number of approvals for Medicare reimbursement and the positive scientific, clinical and pharmaco-economic data of Grafix®.”
