• Non-GAAP gross margin expanded by 1,000 basis points year-to-date and 830 basis points in the third quarter;
• Non-GAAP operating expenses declined over $19 million, or 21%, year-to-date and over $5 million, or 17%, in the third quarter;
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss improved over $30 million year-to-date and $7 million in the third quarter; and
• Operating cash use decreased 58% to $30 million year-to-date and decreased 53% to $12 million in the third quarter.

“We are pleased with our third quarter results, which were in line with expectations, amid a challenging macroeconomic backdrop and legacy headwinds that we continue to navigate,” said Michael Egholm, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Standard BioTools. “We are maintaining a disciplined approach to commercial and R&D investment to fuel growth and a continued focus on operational excellence. The progress we have made against our strategic objectives has allowed us to raise our 2023 financial outlook, and we believe we are well on track to execute our long-term transformation plan.”

Egholm added, “That work is establishing a platform that will support our evolution into a diversified leader in life science tools. Our planned merger with SomaLogic not only activates and fuels our strategic objective to unlock value in a highly fragmented space, it also enhances revenue growth with new technological and commercial opportunities and creates synergies and scale that will accelerate our combined path to profitability. To truly unleash breakthroughs in human health, we believe that life science research needs a comprehensive platform of cutting-edge technology backed by a customer-focused organization with deep, large-enterprise expertise. SBI is positioning itself to best answer that call.”

A reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial schedules that are part of this press release. An explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures is also included below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.”

Business Update

Proteomics (Mass Cytometry): Revenue growth has continued with disciplined commercial execution behind the launch of the Hyperion XTi™ Imaging System in April 2023. The system’s market-leading data quality and throughput continue to be well received.

Genomics (Microfluidics): Revenue has stabilized, leading to a breakeven operating contribution on a year-to-date basis. The improvement is primarily attributable to a strategic portfolio consolidation that prioritized the upgraded Biomark X9™ System for high-throughput genomics, as well as a new commercial approach focused on OEMs and high-volume accounts.

Corporate: On October 4, 2023, the Company announced an all-stock merger with SomaLogic, which is expected to build a diversified leader in life sciences tools. The Company expects to close the merger in the first quarter of 2024, subject to approval by both companies’ stockholders, expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Outlook for 2023

As previously announced on October 4, 2023, the Company expects total revenue of $100 million to $105 million for the full year 2023. The Company also expects GAAP gross margin of approximately 47% and non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 60% (which excludes the impact of technology amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation) for the full year 2023.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is provided in the financial schedules that are part of this press release. An explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures is also included below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.

The Company continues to monitor the potential and uncertain impact of adverse economic conditions globally. Continued or sustained inflationary or recessionary pressures could impact the Company’s ability to achieve this financial outlook.

Our investor presentation, including an appendix with Supplemental Financial Information, has been posted on our website concurrent with this news release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Standard BioTools has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as a measure of operating performance because the non-GAAP financial measures do not include the impact of items that management does not consider indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, taken in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark the company’s performance externally against competitors. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Standard BioTools encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliations between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP operating results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.
