Financial Highlights 

Mesoblast ended FY16 with cash reserves of US$80.9 million.

 

The Company reduced its annual operating and investing cash outflows by 15% (US$16.4 million) to US$89.7 million for the FY16 in comparison with FY15, primarily by decreasing Tier 2 expenditure, lower payments to 3rd parties and reduced employee costs.

 

For FY17 the Company expects to save a further US$20-25 million in operating cash outflows compared with FY16 in order to absorb the incremental costs of the MPC-150-IM program in FY17.  Anticipated total trial costs for MPC-150-IM are approximately $13m to the scheduled Interim Analysis in Q1 2017.

As previously announced, a fully discretionary equity facility has been established for up to $A120 million/$US90 million over 36 months to provide additional funds as required

 

Operational Streamlining for FY17

 

As previously indicated in July, the Company has initiated a number of cost reductions in order to fund the incremental costs of the MPC-150-IM program in FY17. 

 

Specifically:

| · | Company labor force was restructured in July 2016 with a significant number of roles eliminated in line with focus on Tier 1 products |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Third party vendor costs, consultancy costs and activities have been reduced |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Reductions to office accommodation and laboratory space have been executed |
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Enrollment has been completed for our heart attack study using MPC-25-IC, reducing future expenditure on this Tier 2 program |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Certain Tier 2 programs have been deprioritized (MPC-MICRO-IO and MPC-CBE) |
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

Operational Highlights 

 

Significant progress has been made in four Tier 1 clinical programs, with three in Phase 3 and one in Phase 2.  Each of the three Phase 3 trials have major value inflexion points reading out in FY17.  The CHF, RA and CLBP product candidates using the Company’s proprietary allogeneic Mesenchymal Precursor Cells (MPCs) all have blockbuster potential and are well positioned to advance through strategic partnerships through confirmatory studies to registration. Mesoblast intends to take its product candidate for aGVHD, MSC-100-IV, to licensure directly.

MPC-150-IM for Advanced Heart Failure:

The Phase 3 trial for 600 patients with advanced heart failure is recruiting well across North American sites; as of June over 240 patients had been enrolled.

After reviewing all clinical data for the first 175 patients in April 2016, the trial’s Data Monitoring Committee recommended that the study should continue according to its protocol.

Based on observed HF-MACE event rates in the trial to date, the Company has decided to bring forward to Q1 2017 a previously planned Interim Analysis to assess the trial’s primary endpoint  between cell-treated and control patients. Anticipated costs are US$13 million to this time point.

Interim analysis results will provide evidence based support for strategic and scientific decisions regarding the Phase 3 program. 

MPC-300-IV for Biologic Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis:

The Phase 2 trial in biologic refractory rheumatoid arthritis has completed enrollment and results of the 12 week primary endpoint were released in August 2016. An intravenous infusion of allogeneic MPCs was well tolerated in biologic refractory RA patients, without serious adverse events over 12 weeks. 

A single intravenous MPC infusion in biologic refractory RA patients resulted in dose-related improvements in clinical symptoms, function, and disease activity, with the 2 million MPCs/kg dose providing the greatest benefit.

The responses to date in this 48-patient, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial provide support for the potential of Mesoblast’s allogeneic MPCs to be positioned as first-line treatment option in RA patients who have previously received a prior anti-TNF or other biologic agent.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended 30 June 2016 (Fourth Quarter of 2016)

Loss before income tax increased by 12% for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the three months ended 30 June 2015 (fourth quarter of 2015).There were a number of significant non-cash items within this overall loss increase. However those which impacted our cash reserves were:

| · | Revenue: Revenue was US$26.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with US$4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of US$22.7 million. This increase was primarily due to the non-cash recognition of US$22.5 million of deferred revenue in this period as we regained full world-wide rights from Teva on our product candidate MPC-150-IM in June 2016. Included in the increase was royalty income earned on sales of TEMCELL in Japan since the launch of the product on 24 February 2016 by our licensee, JCR, which is offset by a decrease in interest income as we increased the proportion of cash reserves held in US dollars to reduce currency risk. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

All deferred revenue amounts are non-cash. Our cash reserves experienced a net reduction in relation to receipts from revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the fourth quarter of 2015 of US$0.2 million as the increased royalties were more than offset by the shortfalls in interest income receipts.

| · | Research and Development: Research and development (R&D) expenses were US$14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with US$18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of US$4.1 million. This decrease primarily reflects a reduction in expenditures of our Tier 2 products and product support costs as management reduced costs in line with our corporate strategy. |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Manufacturing Commercialization: Manufacturing commercialization expenses were US$7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with US$7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of US$0.7 million. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the number of production runs to meet the clinical supply demands of our Tier 1 products and preparing the facility for commercialization. |
|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Management and Administration: Management and administration expenses were US$5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with US$8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of US$2.5 million. This decrease was primarily due to a savings in labour and associated costs and a reduction in consultancy expenses as management reduced costs in line with our corporate strategy. |
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The overall loss reduction before income tax also includes reductions in items which did not impact our current cash reserves, such as: fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, impairment of intangible assets, foreign exchange movements within other operating income and expenses and finance costs. 

Our net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was US$48.3 million, or US 12.78 cents earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with a net loss of US$30.6 million, or US 9.24 cents losses per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Financial Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2016 

Loss before income tax reduced by 6% for FY16 compared with the fiscal year ended 30 June 2015 (FY15). There were a number of significant non-cash items within this overall loss reduction however those which impacted our cash reserves, were:

| · | Revenue: Revenue was US$42.5 million for FY16 compared with US$19.8 million for FY15, an increase of US$22.7 million. This increase was primarily due to the non-cash recognition of US$22.5 million of deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016 as we regained full world-wide rights from Teva on our product candidate MPC-150-IM in June 2016. All deferred revenue amounts are non-cash. Higher milestone revenue was received during FY16 compared with FY15 as well as first royalty income earned on sales of TEMCELLsince the launch of the product on 24 February 2016 by our licensee, JCR. This increase in revenue was offset by a decrease in interest income as we increased the proportion of cash reserves held in U.S. dollars to reduce currency risk. Overall, cash reserves received a net benefit of US$0.2 million from revenue in FY16 compared with FY15. |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Research and Development: R&D expenses were US$50.0 million for FY16 compared with US$62.6 million for FY15, a decrease of US$12.6 million. This decrease primarily reflects a reduction in expenditures on our Tier 2 products and product support costs as management reduced costs in line with our corporate strategy. |
|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Manufacturing Commercialization: Manufacturing commercialization expenses were US$29.8 million for FY16 compared with US$23.8 million for FY15, an increase of US$6.0 million. This increase was primarily driven by our increased production runs to meet the clinical supply demands of our Tier 1 products and preparing the facility for commercialization. |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Management and Administration: Management and administration expenses were US$22.5 million for FY16 compared with US$29.5 million for FY15, a decrease of US$7.0 million. This decrease was primarily due to a savings in labor and associated costs, a reduction in legal and professional advisor fees and favourable exchange rate movements as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Australian dollar. The majority of our management and administration expenses were incurred in Australian dollars. |
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The overall loss reduction before income tax also includes reductions in items which did not impact our current cash reserves, such as: fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, impairment of intangible assets, foreign exchange movement within other operating income and expenses and finance costs. 

Our net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was US$4.1 million, or US 1.14 cents per share, for the twelve months of 2016, compared with US$96.2 million, or US 29.99 cents per share, for the 12 months of 2015.
