Singular Genomics Reports Recent Highlights and Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

San Diego, CA, August 13, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

“It was another busy and productive quarter for our team as we progressed development of the G4X Spatial Sequencer while supporting our G4 customers,” said Drew Spaventa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Singular Genomics. “The early interest in our Spatial Technology Access Services is an encouraging sign that the unique capabilities and higher sample throughput of the G4X will serve an unmet need in the market.”

 

G4X Spatial Sequencer Updates

Advanced G4X platform development, and are preparing for early access in late 2024
Commenced Spatial Sequencing Technology Access Services program with an initial focus on the V1 immuno-oncology panel
Opened a Spatial Research Grant award program and received over 50 applications from globally renowned institutions interested in spatial sequencing for various applications

 

Recent Financial and Operational Highlights

Recognized revenue of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2024
Shipped 2 G4 systems in the second quarter of 2024
Amended a long-term lease obligation, right sizing the company’s facilities footprint and reducing long-term lease obligations by approximately $50 million

 

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.7 million, predominantly made up of $0.4 million from revenue recognized on consumables sales and $0.3 million from revenue recognized on one capital purchase instrument placement during the quarter. Revenue from the other instrument shipment occurring during the second quarter is expected to be generated over time as the customer purchases consumables.

 

Gross profit was negative $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to negative $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. Gross margin was negative due to discounts on G4 instrument sales, the company’s use of the reagent rental and other non-capital purchase models, and higher costs associated with the support of system placements, partially offset by higher margins on increased consumable sales.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 totaled $22.6 million, compared to $27.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. Operating expenses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, and $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2023.

 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $21.3 million, or a loss of $8.57 per common share, compared to $25.6 million, or a loss of $10.58 per common share, in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, excluding restricted cash, as of June 30, 2024 totaled $133.2 million.
