  • Conference call today, August 7th, 2024 at 4:30 PM ET

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“We saw positive growth in the OGM installed base this quarter, along with key advancements to our VIA software and the achievement of a significant milestone with the establishment of a Category I CPT code for OGM, which we believe will raise the awareness and utility of OGM,” commented Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano. “We are continuing to focus on strengthening the company’s long-term growth profile and prioritizing efficiencies as we manage through a transition into a lower resource environment. We expect to continue to invest in opportunities where we see the greatest potential to increase global adoption and utilization of OGM."

Recent Highlights

  • Announced a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of clinical milestone-linked Series A and Series B warrants of up to $30.0 million:
    • Upfront gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $10.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company; funds will be used for general corporate purposes.
    • Potential additional gross proceeds of up to $20.0 million upon the cash exercise (subject to stockholder approval) in full of the Series A and Series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 35,026,272 shares. 
  • Additional updates and improvements to the Company’s end-to-end workflow are anticipated for the second half of 2024:
    • A pre-commercial version of the Ionic® Purification System for isolation of DNA for OGM analysis completed evaluation at two customer sites, with a third site evaluation underway and a full commercial launch anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2024. Customers have shared positive feedback, and validated Ionic’s ability to reduce the OGM sample-to-answer workflow to as few as two days.
    • Improvements to data analysis processing time on the Stratys™ Compute, a high-performance workstation developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, are anticipated for the fourth quarter of 2024. Both product enhancements are expected to enable more samples to be processed more efficiently by the same number of technicians in our customers’ labs.
  • Key publications support OGM’s utility in prenatal and cancer applications:
    • A peer-reviewed publication on the first phase of a multi-site prenatal study, focused on the concordance and reproducibility of OGM analysis compared with traditional methodologies, showed that, in a cohort of 200 samples (123 unique cases), OGM demonstrated an overall accuracy of 99.6%, sensitivity of 99.5%, specificity of 100%, PPV of 100%, NPV of 95.5%, and 100% reproducibility between all sites, operators, and instruments.
    • A publication from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center that assessed the utility of OGM in 159 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases found that OGM identified pathogenic variants and provided information on fusion genes in 48% of cases, leading to potential improvements in the accuracy of classification and risk stratification.
    • The first multi-site study in multiple myeloma (MM) comparing OGM to traditional cytogenetic methods for the detection of structural variants showed that OGM uniquely identified complex genomic rearrangements that are associated with cancer proliferation and progression, resulting in a change in prognostication beyond that indicated by traditional cytogenetic analysis in 18% of cases; additionally, in 11% of cases, OGM’s unique findings provided precise information that could be used to predict response to targeted therapies. 
  • Full year 2024 revenue guidance of $36.0 to $40.0 million; revenue for the third quarter of 2024 is expected to be $7.9 to 8.9 million.

Q2 2024 Highlights

  • The editorial panel of the American Medical Association (AMA) established a new Category I Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code for the use of OGM in cytogenomic genome-wide analysis to detect structural and copy number variations related to hematological malignancies. The CPT code is a key component in obtaining reimbursement for the OGM-Dx™ HemeOne laboratory developed test (LDT) from third party payors.
  • Completely retired $15.3 million of outstanding convertible notes for a redemption payment of $17.6 million and a retirement fee of $2.2 million, with proceeds from a private placement of senior secured convertible debentures due May 2026; the Company received gross proceeds of $18.0 million in connection with the private placement. The financing provides the Company significant financial flexibility by retiring near-term debt maturities and extending principal redemption payments.
  • Announced a registered direct offering in April 2024, with upfront gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $10.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company; funds will be used for general corporate purposes.
  • Entered into a software marketing agreement with Revvity, Inc. under which Revvity will market and commercialize Bionano’s VIA™ software as part of its newborn sequencing research workflow. VIA is expected to enhance the comprehensive reporting capabilities of Revvity’s sequencing solution by adding an assessment of copy number variants to its next generation sequencing workflow and streamlining the workflow’s interpretation capabilities.
  • Installed base of OGM systems totaled 363 at the end of the second quarter of 2024, which represents a 29% increase over the 281 installed systems reported at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
  • 6,165 nanochannel array flowcells sold during the second quarter of 2024, which represents a decrease of 13% from the 7,062 flowcells sold during the second quarter of 2023.
  • Announced advancements to the Company’s suite of comprehensive software analysis tools for cancer; enhancements include a novel aneusomy caller feature, Phred-like quality scores for detected variants, enhanced visualization with VIA circos plots, and customizable reporting options.
  • Three peer-reviewed publications highlighted OGM’s ability to assess genome integrity in therapeutic cell lines like chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T), stem cells, and cell lines used for translational research in unraveling genetic causes of Alzheimer’s disease; taken together, the publications illustrated that OGM can be highly sensitive for genome-wide detection of on and off target effects that may limit the utility of stem cell lines and CAR-T cell products.

Q2 2024 Financial Results

  • Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $7.8 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 33%, compared to 27% from the second quarter of 2023. Second quarter 2024 non-GAAP gross margin was 35%, compared to 29% from the second quarter of 2023. Second quarter 2024 non-GAAP gross margin excludes $128,000 in stock-based compensation and $7,000 of restructuring expense.
  • Second quarter 2024 GAAP operating expense was $19.6 million, and $18.8 million on a non-GAAP basis, which is a decrease of 53% and 46%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP operating expense in the second quarter of 2024 excludes restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments as detailed in the reconciliation table accompanying this press release. Second quarter 2023 GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation can be found in the same table in this release.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, and restricted cash were $30.3 million as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, $11.4 million was subject to certain restrictions. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible debentures outstanding was $20.0 million.
  • Raised $2.1 million in net proceeds in the second quarter of 2024 through our ATM facility.

Gülsen Kama, chief financial officer at Bionano added, “We were pleased to see significant year-over-year improvements in operating expense and cash burn this quarter as a result of the cost savings initiatives enacted in 2023 and March this year. We remain on track to reduce annualized non-GAAP operating expenses by approximately $65.0 to $75.0 million by the first quarter of 2025 as part of our efforts to extend our cash runway.”

Unless specifically noted otherwise, Bionano’s OGM products are for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Bionano’s financial results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company has provided non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expense in this press release, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP operating expense excludes from GAAP reported operating expense the following components as detailed in the reconciliation table accompanying this press release: costs directly attributable to the company restructuring, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain deal-related costs. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes from GAAP reported gross margin stock-based compensation and certain restructuring expense as detailed in the reconciliation table accompanying this press release.

Bionano believes that non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expense are useful to investors and analysts as a supplement to its financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP for analyzing operating performance and identifying operating trends in its business. Bionano uses non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expense internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of its operating performance in order to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions. Accordingly, Bionano believes these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics it uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future, there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Bionano in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation table have limits in its usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

For a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expense to gross margin and operating expense reported in accordance with GAAP, please refer to the financial tables accompanying this release.
