Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $10.6 million, compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 5%.

Core business revenue (instruments and disposables to cell therapy and drug discovery customers and excluding program-related revenue) was $9.9 million, including 27% revenue growth from cell therapy customers and 4% from drug discovery customers, compared to core business revenue of $8.1 million in the same period last year.

Our SPL Program-related revenue was $0.8 million, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $9.3 million (87% gross margin), compared to $9.2 million (91% gross margin) in the same period of the prior year.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $17.0 million, compared to operating expenses of $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. The overall increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased staff in field sales, field science, and manufacturing, as well as product development expenses to support our customers’ and partners’ growth. The increase also included additional sales and marketing expenses, stock-based compensation and occupancy expenses compared with the same period a year ago.

Third quarter 2022 net loss was $6.4 million compared to net loss of $2.7 million for the same period in 2021. EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $2.4 million for the third quarter of the prior year. Stock-based compensation expense was $3.2 million for the third quarter versus $2.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $232.9 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $255.0 million at December 31, 2021.

2022 Revenue Guidance

We expect core business revenue in 2022 to grow approximately 30% compared to 2021. We continue to expect SPL Program-related revenue to be approximately $4.0 million in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as earnings, before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. MaxCyte believes that EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The company’s management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The company believes that the use of EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the company’s financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management does not consider EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the company’s financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents EBITDA together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA is included at the end of this release. MaxCyte urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company’s business.
