CEO Blog: A Historic Quarter for USSC

10 August 2017

Dear Shareholders and Friends,

It has been a historic quarter for us at U.S. Stem Cell Inc.! We achieved many milestones including expanding clinic operations, publishing research as well as sharing our knowledge and findings at world renowned conferences. We have been growing at a tremendous rate with progress in all financial indicators, including increases in revenue, margins and profits–all UP while our working capital deficit decreased. We surpassed projections by almost double and are on our way to exceeding last year’s total revenue, making this our best year in the company’s history.

Our clinic operations are thriving and we are thrilled to bring on more resources to improve the quality of life for more patients in need. We are now underway to be fully operational with US Stem Cell Clinics in Sunrise, West Palm Beach and Chicago—while we help our strategic partners, American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence, open their clinics in Miami, Dallas and Orlando. The simultaneous success of these clinics represents additional revenues for US Stem Cell, Inc.—which is part of the reason for our historic financial results.

During this past month, several academic papers by our CSO Kristin Comella were released, which can be accessed by clicking the links below. We support her active efforts in research and expansion of regenerative medicine.  See her published reports on:

Kristin is also a speaker at this summer’s RAAD Fest and Bulletproof Conference in California. She will also be speaking at IFATs in Miami this Fall.

Our financial progress indicates continued success and this historic year has been a remarkable achievement.

Below is a summary of U.S. Stem Cell Inc.’s most recent figures for Q2:

  • Revenue up by 104% year-over-year: from $678K in Q2 2016 to $1.38M in Q2 2017
  • Margin increased from 65% to 71% quarter-to-quarter
  • Gross profit up by $542K year-over-year for the quarter: from $442K in Q2 2016 to $1.79M in Q2 2017
  • Income from operations increased YTD from a loss of ($272K) in Q2 2016 to a gain of $100K in Q2 2017, a six-month comparison
  • Cash Flow is positive YTD at $785K compared to $165K this time last year, a six-month comparison
  • Working Capital Deficit down 6.9% from $5.8M in Q2 2016 to $5.4M in Q2 2017

As a final note, we would like to extend our congratulations to Jason Taylor, a longtime shareholder and an avid supporter of our company, for being enshrined into the NFL’s 2017 Hall of Fame.

The support of our partners and helping our patients is what continues to drive us to excellence.

CEO Blog: Good Summer at USSC

Dear Shareholders and Friends,

This past month has been one of great success here at U.S. Stem Cell Inc., starting with our CSO, Kristin Comella, being published both in the Journal of Translational Medicine and the Journal of Clinical Medicine Research. Comella also presented at the Cell Surgical Network conference in L.A., and is scheduled to present at the RAAD fest on August 9th and at the Bulletproof Nutrition conference on October 13th. In other exciting news,the American Stem Cell Centers of Excellence partnership with John Salley, NBA star and advocate of stem cell treatments brings continued coverage of stem cell therapy on a large scale. We have experienced continued success, growing patient satisfaction and clinic expansion, with June being a record month for number of patients treated and stem cells banked.

We commend our own Kristin Comella for having two of her scientific papers published this month. First on Intra-Articular Injection for Osteoarthritis published in the Journal of Translational Medicine (see full article here: https://goo.gl/NCWvJk

Secondly, for her paper on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine Research. Click here to read the full article: https://goo.gl/SsJT8J

We presented at the Cell Surgical Network conference in Los Angeles this month regarding research and techniques in regenerative medicine. There are also other exciting conferences happening in the next few months where our CSO Kristin Comella is scheduled to present. The first of these is the RAAD fest on August 9th where she will discuss the advancements in stem cell therapy and possibilities they offer. Kristin will also present on October 13th at Bulletproof Nutrition, whose founder, Dave Asprey, has received stem cell treatments with us.

NBA Star John Salley partners with Stem Cell Centers of Excellence

West Palm Beach – Steve Nudelberg, Principal Thinker of On the Ball Ventures, is pleased to announce the partnership between John Salley and Stem Cell Centers of Excellence.

On June 24, 2017, John Salley had his first stem cell procedure to harvest his own stem cells and create relief in his shoulders and knees. On the Ball, in keeping with our mantra to create ideas and opportunities to grow business, felt that John Salley would be a natural addition to enhance the national roll out of Stem Cell Centers of Excellence treatment clinics. “As a spokesperson for the vegan lifestyle and long-time friend of On the Ball, John has a keen understanding of how the body functions and how stem cell treatment is a natural alternative for the athlete community. John is a perfect conduit” says Steve Nudelberg

John Salley, Entrepreneur, NBA Star, Actor, Philanthropist, and Vegan has suffered years of agonizing pain after a lucrative career in the NBA. He was set to have surgery on his knees and shoulders but, in keeping with his vegan, clean philosophy, Salley partnered with Stem Cell Centers of Excellence to advocate for using your own body’s stem cells to heal itself. “I am excited to be part of the future with the team at Stem Cell Centers of Excellence. Two things jump to mind after my recent treatment: one, I can’t wait for my body to start healing itself and, two, I feel secure in knowing that my stem cells, which are not getting any younger, are now stored and will be ready should I need them for future use at any time” says John Salley.

“Superstar athlete and wellness expert John Salley is the ideal individual to represent Stem Cell Centers of Excellence as we continue educating the public about the benefits of stem cells and the body’s ability to heal itself,” said Mike Tomas, President and CEO of U.S. Stem Cell Inc. “John has seen first-hand how injuries to athletes, and sports enthusiasts alike, can be devastating with long recovery times. Cutting-edge stem cell treatments for individuals with orthopedic as well as neurological conditions are an excellent option for these patients to improve their quality of life.”

With a new clinic in Miami, FL and additional clinics opening soon around the country, Stem Cell COE provides comprehensive stem cell treatments using the U.S. Stem Cell Inc. innovative technologies and the latest USSC regenerative medicine research.

U.S. Stem Cell to focus on and expand in-clinic therapies

Sunrise, FL – June 19, 2017 – (OTC:USRM) U.S. Stem Cell, Inc., a leader in the regenerative medicine, cellular therapy industry providing physician based stem cell therapies to human and animal patients as well as a developer of novel autologous cell therapies, announces an aggressive plan to expand an additional 12 stem cell treatment centers and clinics in the US.  US Stem Cell has been in discussions with the FDA regarding Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation for the Myocell product and at this time, the company has decided not to further invest in RMAT Designation and instead invest and focus on our in-clinic therapies for patients.

According to the 21st Century Cures Act, within one year of enactment, the FDA must issue draft guidance clarifying how the FDA will evaluate devices used in the recovery, isolation, or delivery of regenerative advanced therapies. Until this guidance document is published, it is unclear how this regulation will affect the MyoCell program. Until then, U.S. Stem Cell will focus on opening new clinics around the country to better serve patients in need.  In addition to the original Sunrise clinic (that has successfully treated hundreds of patients and generated over $2m in revenues in the past 12 months alone), recent clinic openings include Miami and Palm Beach, Florida.  Upcoming openings include Dallas, Texas (thanks in part to the early adoption of patient rights by the State of Texas), Chicago, Atlanta and Denver—as well as other clinics in the northeast and the west coast.

To be clear, U.S. Stem Cell will focus on our revenue generating programs that are treating patients NOW–which have successfully helped over 7000 patients thus far.  Our company was founded in 1999 and has completed more clinical treatments (for both humans and animals) than any other regenerative medicine company in the world.  In addition to our efforts at US Stem Cell Training and VetBiologics, our focus will be expanding and opening additional clinics throughout the U.S. to offer these cutting edge technologies to more patients.

We are very pleased with the 2017 improvements in operations and balance sheet performance. We are progressing with our principal strategic business initiatives which include growing top line revenues and pursuing new business opportunities for exponential growth.

Here is a summary of the excellent financial figures for Q1 of 2017 recently reported:

  • Gross profit up by 45.6% from $556,000 in Q1 2016 to $810,000 in Q1 2017

The first Stem Cell Centers of Excellence opened its doors and successfully treated its first patient this month in the beautiful city of South Miami, Florida. The center is the first of ten we plan to help open in key metropolitan areas over the next three years. The clinics will deliver patient-specific cellular treatments to patients suffering from degenerative diseases or injury.

At the beginning of the year, we applied for the FDA’s new Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for our MyoCell™ product. In March 2017, the FDA reinstated our IND (MARVEL trial) to active status. In May, the FDA acknowledged that they received our additional information and are still in the process of reviewing our application for RMAT. Please note the FDA takes up to 60 days to review information submitted.

CEO Blog: Exciting Accomplishments in April

Dear Shareholders and Friends,

U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. has seen many exciting accomplishments in April. We have curated new partnerships, finalized investments, and received updates on our RMAT designation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

We have recently partnered with Advanced Stem Cell RX in a strategic alliance to commercialize our proprietary applications and protocols. Advanced Stem Cell RX will aid us in implementing U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. programs into qualified practices and clinics in over 20 different states. They will be utilizing our technology to treat patients suffering from degenerative disorders.

On January 27, 2017, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. applied for the FDA’s new Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for the MyoCell™ product as part of the MARVEL trial. After application, the FDA is given 60 days to review it or request additional information.  In late March, the FDA requested additional information in order to reinstate our IND (MARVEL trial)—which has been reinstated to active status.  Please note that each time more information is requested, the 60-day timeline resets and the FDA is afforded additional regulatory processing time. Currently, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. is operating within the regulatory timeline and is actively working with the FDA to quickly and effectively fulfill requests for supplementary materials.  We will continue to keep our base informed on any FDA communications that affect this timeline.

U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. MARVEL Trial Receives Reactivation Status with the FDA

Sunrise, FL – April 10, 2017 – U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. (USCC), a Florida corporation and leader in novel regenerative medicine solutions and physician-based stem cell therapies for human and animal patients, has received reactivation status of the MARVEL phase II/III trial.

Following the passing of the 21st Century Cures Act, U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. has applied to the FDA for Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation for the MyoCell product as part of the MARVEL trial.  Our trial had previously been placed on “Inactive Status” as patients were not actively being enrolled.  We placed a request to the FDA to reactivate the protocol and consider the therapy for RMAT designation.  We have recently heard from the FDA who has notified us that the protocol has been placed on “Reactivation Status” after reviewing details on the protocol and data collected on patients to date.  The FDA has also notified us that they are still reviewing our submission for RMAT.  Thanks to the REGROW component of the Cures Act, The FDA will grant RMAT designation for a regenerative medicine therapy that is intended to treat, modify, reverse, or cure a serious or life-threatening disease and demonstrates preliminary clinical evidence that the product has the potential to address unmet medical needs for a disease.  We believe that our MyoCell product meets these requirements as we have demonstrated clinical efficacy in both preclinical and clinical studies including our most recent MARVEL trial publication (review full publication here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21982657).  If RMAT designation is granted, this could expedite the approval process with the FDA.

More information on the FDA’s new RMAT Designation can be found here: https://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/CellularGeneTherapyProducts/ucm537670.htm
