Singular Genomics Reports Recent Highlights and Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
San Diego, CA, March 18, 2024 – Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMIC), a company leveraging novel next-generation sequencing (NGS) and spatial multiomics technologies to empower researchers and clinicians, today highlighted recent corporate achievements and reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
“We ended 2023 on a strong note, shipping our largest number of quarterly instruments to-date,” said Drew Spaventa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Singular Genomics. “We continue to build momentum in early 2024 with the recent unveiling of the G4X, the first in situ spatial sequencer. The G4X brings sequencing into tissue sections, offering new capabilities and novel data streams with industry-leading throughput and cost.”
Fourth Quarter and Recent Financial Highlights
Product Roadmap Highlights
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $1.1 million, compared to $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing growth of 41% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by eight instrument shipments during the quarter.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $24.8 million, compared to $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Operating expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The year over year increase was primarily driven by the timing of expenses related to certain compensation and benefits and severance costs.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $23.2 million, or a loss of $0.32 per common share, compared to $21.1 million, or a loss of $0.29 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the full year of 2023 was $2.9 million compared to $0.8 million in 2022. We began recognizing revenue on sales of the G4 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Operating expenses for 2023 totaled $102.2 million compared to $93.5 million in 2022. Operating expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $11.4 million in 2023 and $13.7 million in 2022. The year-over-year increase in total operating expenses was driven primarily by scaling headcount and infrastructure to support growth, including the G4 commercial launch and advancements of the product pipeline and R&D roadmap.
Net loss for 2023 was $94.8 million, or a loss of $1.30 per common share, compared to $90.9 million, or a loss of $1.28 per common share, in 2022.
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, as of December 31, 2023 totaled $173.9 million.

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 timeline and successful development of the G4X; (ii) expected features, capabilities and specifications of the G4X and the ability to deliver associated services and grants; (iii) our ability to successfully manufacture, commercialize and support the G4, G4X and our flow cell kits, in accordance with our timelines, objectives and specifications; (iv) our expectations on cash runway, including whether our cost-cutting measures will have any material impact on our operating expenses or cash runway; 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 are currently developing the G4X Spatial Sequencer and related services and may not be successful in completing its development on our projected timeline, with the features and capabilities we expect, or at the cost we anticipate; (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 on revenue generated from the sale of the G4 and future products (such as the G4X), and any delay or failure by us to successfully manufacture and commercialize the G4 and future products (such as the G4X) 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2024. 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.
