BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SomaLogic, Inc., a leader in AI-data driven proteomics technology, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"At SomaLogic, we remain excited by the commercial and scientific opportunity to unlock the human proteome and enable breakthroughs for our customers and society at large. While we have seen 100% new customer growth over the past 12 months, our reliance on a service business continues to produce variability in our quarterly results. Our second quarter results were further amplified by domestic and global macroeconomics and supply chain challenges slowing sample delivery and customer spend across geographies," said Roy Smythe, M.D., SomaLogic's Chief Executive Officer. "To account for these challenges, we are revising annual guidance and similarly, reducing our cash spend while continuing to invest in our commercial team build. We are also leaning into activities to drive increased revenue opportunities from existing customers as well as new customer acquisition. Our substantial cash position provides a unique opportunity to leverage organic and inorganic approaches to diversify our platforms and products, increase scale, continue to attract execution talent, and grow revenue. While frustrating in the near term, we remain confident that we have a unique opportunity to build a differentiated, scalable and durable business."

Recent Strategic Highlights

Continued to expand customer base with the number of active customers buying products from SomaLogic more than doubling on a year-over-year basis as of second-quarter end.
Announced strategic acquisition of Palamedrix, a San Diego based leader in DNA nanotechnology, to develop the next-generation SomaScan® Assay. The acquisition brings differentiated miniaturization technology, scientific and engineering expertise, and enhanced ease-of-use capabilities to SomaLogic's platform.
Commenced Illumina integration platform, remaining on track for the 2024 launch of the largest and most diversified sequencing platform in the world.

Announced an agreement with OncoHost, a global leader in next-generation precision oncology, to license the SomaScan® Platform for the development of precision cancer diagnostics.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $14.1 million, an 28.5% decrease from $19.8 million in the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sample volumes and lower royalty revenue as a function of decreased COVID research funding.
Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 50.0% compared to 59.6% for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to delivery of lower sample volumes in addition to a modest mix impact from lower royalty revenue.
Research and development expenses grew by $9.0 million, and selling, general and administrative expenses grew by $22.0 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the corresponding period of 2021. The increase corresponds with our investments in content expansion, compliance, and other growth initiatives.
Net loss was $23.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or a loss of $0.13 per share, as compared to a loss of $13.3 million, or $0.12 per share, in the corresponding period of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $46.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.0 million in the corresponding period of 2021.

2022 Financial Guidance

SomaLogic now expects revenue for the full year 2022 of $80.0 to $90.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results used by management to evaluate and run the business, as well as, for financial planning purposes. Our non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our operating performance on a more consistent basis, and we use this measure for business planning, forecasting, and decision-making. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor's understanding of our financial performance as it is useful in assessing our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate this measure in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including net loss.
