CRYO-CELL REPORTS FISCAL THIRD QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

OLDSMAR, Fla. – October 15, 2014 – Cryo-Cell International, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC:QB Markets Group Symbol: CCEL), the world’s first private cord blood bank to separate and store stem cells in 1992, announced results for the fiscal third quarter ended August 31, 2014.

Financial Results

Revenue

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were approximately $4.9 million compared to approximately $4.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 consisted of approximately $4.8 million in processing and storage fee revenue and approximately $169,000 in licensee income, compared to approximately $4.5 million in processing and storage fee revenue and approximately $324,000 in licensee income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The 48% decrease in licensee income for the three months ended August 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2013 is the result of decreased licensee income from Cryo-Cell de Mexico (“Mexico”) as Mexico paid the remaining balance due under the amendment to the license agreement during the first fiscal quarter of 2014. There will be no further licensee income recognized pursuant to that agreement. The remaining licensee income (and all of the licensee income for the three months ended August 31, 2013) consists of royalty income earned on the processing and storage of cord blood stem cell specimens in geographic areas where the Company has license agreements.

Net Income

The Company reported net income for the three months ended August 31, 2014 of approximately $237,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $194,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended August 31, 2013. The increase in net income for the three months ended August 31, 2014 is partially a result of a 2% increase in revenues and a settlement received from litigation. This was offset by a 4% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and a 10% increase in cost of sales. The increase in cost of sales is a result of the increase in laboratory costs associated with the processing technology the Company began using during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalent Position

At August 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,448,977. The Company’s cash decreased by approximately $476,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2014, primarily as a result of approximately $2,295,000 used for the stock repurchase plan pursuant to which the Company repurchased 968,302 shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended August 31, 2014 which was offset by approximately $1,312,000 by cash provided by operations and the release of approximately $764,000 of previously restricted cash in a trust. As of August 31, 2014, the Company had no long-term indebtedness.
