Accelerate Diagnostics Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
TUCSON, Ariz., May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXDX) today announced financial results for the first quarter for the period ended March 31, 2023.
"Our first quarter results are in line with expectations, and I am optimistic about the remainder of 2023 and beyond," commented Jack Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. "We are encouraged by our partnership with Becton Dickinson, which is gaining momentum, solidifying market share, and opening avenues for innovation and growth. I am particularly excited about the incredible advancements the development team has made on our next-generation platform Wave, a breakthrough technology promising to expand our microbiology footprint and effect lasting change on patient care. These combined with the pending debt restructuring to resolve our near-term financial concerns better positions us for continued success."
First Quarter 2023 Operating Highlights:
- Added 3 contracted instruments and brought 10 instruments live in the U.S. in the quarter.
- Ended the first quarter with 338 U.S. clinically live and revenue-generating instruments, with another 62 U.S. contracted instruments in the process of being implemented and not yet revenue-generating.
- Continued to make progress on our debt restructuring, to extend a portion of the current maturity, lower our overall debt outstanding and simplify our capital structure.
- Encouraging commercial partnership progress with BD is seeing meaningful funnel stage progression which has led to a significant increase in quotes and contracts being developed and presented.
- Strong R&D progress with Wave, next generation susceptibility, with instrument reliability is very good, and the data being produced is quite promising.
First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:
- Net sales were $2.8 million, compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. While this decrease was driven by lower customer contracting in the quarter, recurring revenues were up 6% compared to the same quarter of the prior year.
- Gross margin was 36% for the quarter, compared to 27% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in gross margin resulted from product mix of capital instrument sales.
- Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) costs for the quarter were $10.1 million, compared to $10.7 million from the same quarter of the prior year. SG&A costs for the quarter excluding non-cash stock-based compensation were $10.2 million, compared to $8.2 million from the same quarter of the prior year. SG&A expenses increased over the previous year due to professional fees related to the debt restructuring.
- Research and development (R&D) costs for the quarter were $7.0 million, compared to $6.0 million the same quarter of the prior year. R&D costs, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, for the quarter were $6.4 million, compared to $5.7 million from the quarter of the prior year. R&D expenses increased due to further progress with our next generation instrument, Wave.
- Net loss was $16.8 million in the first quarter, resulting in $0.17 net loss per share.
- Net cash used in the quarter was $13.7 million, and the company ended the quarter with total cash, investments, and cash equivalents of $31.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized measures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which include SG&A, R&D, and operating income (loss) amounts excluding stock-based compensation expenses.
Our management and board of directors use expenses excluding the cost of stock-based compensation (net of forfeitures) to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short-term and long-term operating and financing plans. Accordingly, we believe that expenses excluding the cost of stock-based compensation provides useful information for investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and our board of directors. Expenses excluding the cost of stock-based compensation is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as superior to, or as a substitute for, SG&A expenses, R&D expenses, and operating income (loss) reported in accordance with GAAP. The following tables present a reconciliation of SG&A expenses, R&D expenses and operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation to comparable GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
