Nautilus Biotechnology Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

SEATTLE, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nautilus Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAUT; or “Nautilus”), a company pioneering a single molecule proteome analysis platform, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Recent Highlights

  • Reported total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 of $15.8 million, modestly higher compared to the same quarter last year reflecting increased investment in the development of our platform moderated by an ongoing focus on expense management.
  • Continued progress against core scientific and engineering goals in the third quarter of 2022 while increasing experimental scale and continuing to advance the quality and customer readiness of our consumables.
  • Significant progress on advancing commercial instrument development and transitioning to a manufacturing posture across all elements of the platform as we build towards full commercial availability.

“I’m very excited about the emerging opportunity I see for proteomics and am pleased with the progress we’re making as a business”, said Sujal Patel, CEO of Nautilus. “We – more than ever – envision powerful research uses for our platform and continue to receive enthusiastic feedback from the researchers around the world with whom we’re engaged. Their feedback reinforces our vision that Nautilus is building a game-changing platform that will make a meaningful difference for researchers and patients alike in the years and decades to come.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Operating expenses were $15.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, a 9% increase from $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in headcount to support ongoing development of our products as well as the costs associated with being a public company.

Net loss was $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, as compared to a net loss of $14.5 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $323.6 million as of September 30, 2022.

Nautilus will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2022 financial results, business developments and outlook before market open on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 at 5:30 AM Pacific Time / 8:30 AM Eastern Time.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Nautilus’ expectations regarding the company’s business operations, financial performance and results of operations; expectations with respect to any revenue timing or projections, expectations with respect to the timing of the launch of Nautilus’ product platform and full commercial availability, the functionality and performance of Nautilus’ product platform, its potential impact on providing proteome access, pharmaceutical development and drug discovery, expanding research horizons, and enabling scientific explorations and discovery, and the present and future capabilities and limitations of emerging proteomics technologies. These statements are based on numerous assumptions concerning the development of Nautilus’ products, target markets, and other current and emerging proteomics technologies, and involve substantial risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could materially affect the accuracy of Nautilus’ assumptions and its ability to achieve the forward-looking statements set forth in this press release include (without limitation) the following: Nautilus’ product platform is not yet commercially available and remains subject to significant scientific and technical development, which is inherently challenging and difficult to predict, particularly with respect to highly novel and complex products such as those being developed by Nautilus. Even if our development efforts are successful, our product platform will require substantial validation of its functionality and utility in life science research. In the course of Nautilus’ scientific and technical development and associated product validation and commercialization, we may experience material delays as a result of unanticipated events. We cannot provide any guarantee or assurance with respect to the outcome of our development, collaboration, and commercialization initiatives or with respect to their associated timelines. For a more detailed description of additional risks and uncertainties facing Nautilus and its development efforts, investors should refer to the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and our other filings with the SEC.
