Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of the Proteograph Product Suite and its related products. Product-related revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.9 million, including $1.3 million of related party revenue, and consisted of sales of SP100 instruments, consumable kits and platform evaluations.

Gross profit was $1.9 million and gross margin was 49% for the third quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses were $27.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, including $9.1 million of stock-based compensation, as compared to $19.6 million, including $6.8 million of stock-based compensation, for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in expenses was driven by increased employee compensation and other related expenses, including stock-based compensation, and increased expenses related to the expansion of the company’s facilities and other costs related to being a publicly traded company.

Net loss was $24.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, as compared to $18.4 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $441.0 million as of September 30, 2022.
