DELCATH REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND RECENT OPERATIONAL PROGRESS

—Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 p.m. ET—

NEW YORK, November 7, 2012 – Delcath Systems (NASDAQ: DCTH) today announced financial results for its third quarter 2012 ended September 30, 2012 as well as recent operational progress.

Highlights for the third quarter 2012 and recent weeks include:

 

   

FDA acceptance of Delcath’s New Drug Application (NDA) for its proprietary chemosaturation system with melphalan hydrochloride for injection.

 

   

FDA assignment of a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of June 15, 2013.

 

   

Secured national interim reimbursement in Italy; submitted reimbursement applications for the CHEMOSAT procedure in other key European markets, with positive responses expected in some markets during first quarter of 2013.

 

   

Hosted well attended expert symposiums at the European Society for Medical Oncology Annual Congress and the Cardiovascular & Interventional Radiological Society of Europe Annual Congress

 

   

Executed first European distribution agreements with established distributors in Italy and Spain; received first distributor order for CHEMOSAT kits.

 

   

Approval in Australia for the Generation Two Hepatic CHEMOSAT® Delivery System for use with melphalan hydrochloride.

 

   

Satisfied all requirements to affix the CE Mark to the Hepatic CHEMOSAT Delivery System device for intra-hepatic arterial delivery and extracorporeal filtration of doxorubicin in October, 2012.

“During the past three months, Delcath accomplished several significant milestones that help lay the foundation for realizing the full potential of our system in the U.S., Europe and other markets around the world,” said Eamonn P. Hobbs, President and CEO. “FDA acceptance of our NDA and designation of a June 15, 2013 PDUFA goal date are the most important developments in our history, and we look forward to working closely with the Agency throughout the review process with the goal of securing approval of our application. During the quarter we also successfully secured procedure reimbursement in Italy under existing coding, and are pursuing other New Technology Payment programs in Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom that we expect to be in


place in certain markets in early 2013. We also announced CE Marking for our Hepatic CHEMOSAT Delivery System device for intra-hepatic arterial delivery and extracorporeal filtration of doxorubicin, which provides a regulatory pathway for key Asian Markets. The recent approval of our Generation Two CHEMOSAT system in Australia enhances our opportunity to address a potential market of $50-70 million as we seek an exclusive distributor in this region.”

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Delcath recorded sales of $97,000, $58,000 of which was deferred revenue associated with an initial order from our Italian distributor. Operating loss was $12.2 million, which included approximately $1.0 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as compared with an operating loss of $12.2 million, including approximately $0.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense, in the year ago period. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2011. The higher SG&A expense was due primarily due to increased EU commercialization expense. Research and development (R&D) expenses were $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2011. The lower R&D expenses reflect the anticipated lower consulting expenses following the submission of the NDA submitted on August 15, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, cash, and cash equivalents were $28.3 million as compared with $29.3 million as of June 30, 2012 and $30.8 million at December 31, 2011. Gross cash spend in the third quarter 2012 was $14.6 million as compared with $14.2 million in the second quarter. The increase was primarily driven by efforts to prepare submission of the NDA to the FDA and ongoing commercialization efforts in the EU. Average monthly operating gross spend was $4.9 million for the third quarter, comparable with $4.7 million reported in the second quarter. Delcath continues to expect average monthly cash spend to be between $3 million to $4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.

About Delcath Systems

Delcath Systems, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company focused on oncology. Delcath’s proprietary system for chemosaturation is designed to administer high dose chemotherapy and other therapeutic agents to diseased organs or regions of the body, while controlling the systemic exposure of those agents. The Company’s initial focus is on the treatment


of primary and metastatic liver cancers. In 2010, Delcath announced that its randomized Phase 3 clinical trial for patients with metastatic melanoma in the liver had successfully achieved the study’s primary endpoint of extended hepatic progression-free survival. The Company also completed a multi-arm Phase 2 trial to treat other liver cancers. The Company obtained authorization to affix a CE Mark for the Generation Two CHEMOSAT® delivery system for melphalan hydrochloride in April 2012. The right to affix the CE mark allows the Company to market and sell the CHEMOSAT system for melphalan hydrochloride in Europe. In October 2012, the Company satisfied all of the requirements to affix the CE Mark to the Hepatic CHEMOSAT Delivery System device for intra-hepatic arterial delivery and extracorporeal filtration of doxorubicin, providing a regulatory pathway for CHEMOSAT with doxorubicin hydrochloride injection for countries in Asia that accept the CE Marking as part of their national regulatory requirements. The Company has not yet received FDA approval for commercial sale of its system in the United States. The Company’s NDA has been accepted for filing and substantive review by the FDA. The Company is seeking approval for its proprietary chemosaturation system with melphalan hydrochloride as a treatment for patients with unresectable metastatic melanoma in the liver. For more information, please visit the Company’s website at www.delcath.com.
