CytoSorbents (NASDAQ: CTSO) has received a ‘Buy’ rating and $20 price target from Aegis Capital Corp. following the company’s recent report of operational and financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The company reported a total revenue including both product sales and grant income in 2016 of approximately $9.5 million, almost doubling from $4.8 million in 2015. CytoSorb® also reports that product sales increased 103% to $8.2 million for fiscal 2016 compared to $4.0 million in fiscal 2015. Additionally, the company’s product sales were $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, the sixth consecutive quarter of record sales growth, representing a 75% increase over Q4 2015 sales, and a 22% increase over Q3 2016 sales.
“We recorded our strongest financial performance ever in 2016, led by record sales in Germany – the largest medical device market in Europe and the 3rd largest in the world – where we first began commercialization of CytoSorb®. Reorders from a broad base of existing direct customers continue to drive this growth, with many reference accounts becoming significant and one exceeding 10% of 2016 product sales. These large accounts validate our assertion that a single hospital can approach or exceed $1M in sales. Also, we are now seeing many other countries, managed by distributors or partners, begin to follow a similar sales trajectory as Germany, albeit time-shifted depending on when the therapy first became available there,” Dr. Phillip Chan, CEO of CTSO, stated in the press release.
