  • Reiterated full year 2023 revenue guidance of $35.0 to $38.0 million.

Q3 2023 Highlights

  • Installed base of Saphyr® systems totaled 301 at the end of the third quarter 2023, which was an increase of 20 systems over the second quarter of 2023 and represents a 39% increase over the 217 installed systems reported at the end of the third quarter of 2022.
  • 6,176 nanochannel array flowcells sold during the third quarter, which represents an increase of 55% over the 3,975 flowcells sold during the third quarter of 2022.
  • Initiated early access program for Stratys™ system, with 10 systems available for key customers as part of an early access program before the full commercial release of the product in early 2024.
  • VIA™ software, with a workflow for hematological malignancy research, began installations at the end of July 2023, which are ongoing, while development has continued toward an application for whole genome/constitutional analysis research.
  • Customers Praxis Genomics and Augusta University received an approved gap fill rate of $1,863.22 for their optical genome mapping (OGM) Proprietary Laboratory Analysis (PLA) codes for hematological malignancy testing from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
  • Appointed Gülsen Kama as the company’s chief financial officer (CFO), effective September 11, 2023. Ms. Kama has an extensive background in business planning and execution, especially in operating environments that demand rigorous management of expenses to enable profitable growth.  
  • Announced that two original equipment manufacturing (OEM) partners in China, A-smart MedTech and Ecobono, obtained reagent class I registrations from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for Bionano's DNA extraction kit and labeling products for use in in vitro diagnostics (IVD), which allow the companies to market these products to hospitals and independent clinical labs in China.
  • Participated at the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) 2023 Annual Meeting with a broad range of content covering the utility of OGM for solid tumor and hematological malignancy cancer research, including 13 scientific platform and poster presentations from Bionano, a panel discussion on the integration of OGM for clinical research in cancer, featuring cancer genomics experts Dr. Ravindra Kolhe, Augusta University, Dr. Susan Crocker, Kingston Health Sciences Centre/ Queen’s University, and Dr. Sachin Jadhav, HCG Network, and a user group event for the Company’s new VIA software.
  • Publications featuring OGM increased 61% from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023, including a total of 47 human-focused publications. The number of publications on rare diseases through the first three quarters of 2023 is up 172% compared to the number of publications through the first three quarters of 2022, with an increasingly large average number of samples per study.
  • Key studies published during Q3 that outline support for OGM’s utility for cancer and genetic disease research and in cell therapy quality control applications:
    • A publication in Nature Communications demonstrated the utility of OGM as an alternative to karyotyping (KT) and chromosomal microarray (CMA) for the evaluation of CRISPR-Cas9 edited human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines to uncover possible pathogenic structural alterations that may limit their usefulness for stem cell therapy. Using OGM, the study authors found that approximately 15% of CRISPR-Cas9 edited genomes had potentially pathogenic large chromosomal deletions at unexpected off-target sites. The study authors additionally found a large, unexpected deletion at the target site.
    • Researchers at the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) highlighted the utility of OGM and whole-exome sequencing (WES) in better understanding the mutational landscape of pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). The combined workflow of OGM and WES identified 19 recurrently altered regions with novel potential leukemic drivers as well as double hits of structural variants (SVs) and single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the same sample, demonstrating the power of using that combined workflow to identify compound events relevant to risk stratification and treatment of hematological malignancies.
    • The first peer-reviewed benchmarking study to compare OGM to chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) evaluated the potential of OGM to measure all classes of variant types covered by CMA, including gains, losses, aneuploidy, triploidy and absence of heterozygosity, in indications including unexplained developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and multiple congenital anomalies (MCA). OGM was 100% concordant with CMA for the detection of pathogenic variants, and the study authors found that the higher resolution of OGM allowed for better refinement of the structure of the genome compared with CMA alone.

“We are pleased with our Q3 2023 results, which demonstrate steady growth across the install base and flowcells sold,” commented Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano. “We believe that the momentum we see building over the past year provides validation that our strategy is working. It was important to complete the recent convertible debt financing to extend the company’s cash runway, which we believe will allow us to continue to advance critical products and develop our target markets to realize the full potential of OGM. We believe that the cost savings initiatives and operational efficiencies we recently implemented will play a role in leading the company to profitability.”

Q3 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $9.3 million, an increase of 29% compared to the third quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 30%, compared to 25% from the third quarter of 2022. Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP¹ gross margin was 32%, compared to 25% from the third quarter of 2022. Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP gross margin excludes $0.2 million in stock-based compensation.
  • Third quarter 2023 GAAP operating expense was $116.0 million, which includes $84.1 million in GAAP-only charges, compared to $34.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, which included $7.6 million in GAAP-only charges. Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP operating expense was $31.8 million, compared to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $34.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP operating expense excludes the $77.3 million one-time impairment charge related to revaluation of goodwill, $3.8 million in stock-based compensation, $1.8 million in amortization of intangibles, $0.9 million in one-time financing expenses, and a $0.3 million increase in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration primarily related to the acquisition of Purigen Biosystems.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities were $63.6 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities of $77.1 million as of June 30, 2023.

Gülsen Kama, chief financial officer at Bionano, added, “I am happy to be onboard at Bionano and look forward to contributing to the strategic financial planning and reporting that will be critical for us to achieve profitability. I believe we have already taken some important steps in that direction with the convertible debt financing and the cost reduction initiatives we have put in place.”

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: impairment charge, stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, financing charges and change in fair value of contingent consideration. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes from GAAP reported gross margin stock-based compensation 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.
