Singular Genomics Reports Recent Highlights and Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
San Diego, CA, November 14, 2023 – Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMIC), a company leveraging novel next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multiomics technologies to empower researchers and clinicians, today highlighted recent corporate achievements and reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
“We shipped five G4 systems in the third quarter, our highest quarterly total yet, launched Max Read flow cell kits for single cell sequencing, and saw our largest number of quarterly consumable kit orders,” said Drew Spaventa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Singular Genomics. “In the near term, we will be building our installed base more aggressively and prioritizing fewer yet higher impact products on our product roadmap. We have also cut costs to extend runway, providing time to build our installed base, get high-impact products to market, and scale revenue.”
Third Quarter and Recent Highlights
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.5 million, driven primarily by recognition of sales on one instrument placement. The company expects revenue from the remaining four instrument shipments to be recognized over time as customers purchase consumables for these instruments.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $24.5 million, compared to $24.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. Operating expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. The year over year decrease in total operating expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in research and development materials and other general lab supply costs as the company transitioned from development to commercialization of the G4.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $22.4 million, or a loss of $0.31 per common share, compared to $23.8 million, or a loss of $0.33 per common share, for the third quarter of 2022.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, totaled $190.7 million as of September 30, 2023.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release, other than historical information, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: (i) our ability to successfully manufacture, commercialize and support the G4 and our flow cell kits in accordance with our timelines, objectives and specifications; (ii) our ability to ship Max Read kits to our broader customer base on our timeline; (iii) our expectations on cash runway, including whether our cost-cutting measures will have any material impact on our operating expenses or cash runway; (iv) our expectations regarding future revenue; and (v) quotes of management. Any such forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual future results to differ materially from our management’s current expectations or those implied by our forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) we have incurred significant losses since inception, we expect to incur significant losses in the future and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability; (ii) we have very little history manufacturing and commercializing our products or technology; (iii) the life sciences technology market is highly competitive, and if we fail to compete effectively, our business and operating results will suffer; (iv) if we are sued for infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating intellectual property rights of third parties, such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could prevent or delay us from developing or commercializing our products; (v) if our products fail to achieve early customer and scientific acceptance, we may not be able to achieve broader market acceptance for our products, and our revenues and prospects may be harmed; (vi) we expect to be highly dependent upon revenue generated from the sale of the G4 and future products, and any delay or failure by us to successfully manufacture and commercialize the G4 and future products could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and results of operations; and (vii) recent macroeconomic challenges such as inflation and rising interest rates may materially and adversely impact our business, operations, product manufacturing and commercialization objectives. These and other risk factors that may affect our future results of operations are identified and described in more detail in our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023. Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events or our future performance. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
