BOULDER, Colo., March 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SomaLogic, Inc., a leader in proteomics technology, today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 and announced a management transition, as well as the appointment of four new members to the Board of Directors.

Management and Board Transition

Effective today, the company has appointed Adam Taich, former Executive Vice President of Life Sciences, to the role of interim Chief Executive Officer. Roy Smythe, M.D, has stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer and board member, also effective today.

“SomaLogic has tremendous potential and since stepping into the role of Executive Chairman in October of last year, my focus has been to put management and the board in the best position and structure to realize that potential.” said Troy Cox, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. “The announcements today cap that work, with the appointments of Adam Taich to interim Chief Executive Officer and four new independent board directors who are seasoned leaders in the industry. Jason Ryan as Chairman and Tycho Peterson, Kathy Hibbs, Tom Carey as directors.” Troy continued, “On behalf of the board and company, we thank Roy for his contributions including advancing our technology and partnerships as well as overseeing our transition to a public company. We also thank Chuck Lillis and Ted Meisel who are stepping down from board positions, effective today.”

Adam has over 20 years of experience in the life sciences and healthcare markets. His career has spanned a diverse set of roles, including general management, commercial, finance and corporate development. Prior to joining SomaLogic, Mr. Taich served as the global leader of the molecular biology business of Thermo Fisher Scientific. While at Thermo Fisher, he also led the protein and cell analysis business, strategy and corporate development for the life sciences group, and held a variety of commercial and finance roles earlier in his career.

“We are moving into a new and important chapter at SomaLogic and I am squarely focused on bringing improved operational discipline while managing for growth,” said Adam Taich, interim Chief Executive Officer. “Since joining the company more than a year ago as Chief Business Officer, the team has proven that it can bring down costs while diversifying and scaling our revenue base. Beginning in the third quarter of last year, I took on broader responsibilities here at SomaLogic and believe we’re building momentum to take advantage of the significant market opportunity before us. There is more work to do but we plan to continue to deliver with increased focus and execution while preserving cash.”

Troy concluded, “At SomaLogic we are fortunate that we can not only expand our footprint in the burgeoning field of proteomics but we also are in a unique position to leverage our balance sheet and new board leadership to pursue strategic and transformational options for maximum shareholder value.”

Jason Ryan joins SomaLogic as the company’s Chairman of the Board, bringing decades of experience as a financial and operational leader across the life sciences industry. He most recently served as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operating Officer of Magenta Therapeutics, and prior to that he was CFO of Foundation Medicine. Jason holds additional board positions with GeneDx and Singular Genomics.

Tycho Peterson joins the board of SomaLogic after being appointed CFO of Adaptive Biotechnologies last year. Prior to Adaptive, Tycho held a 23-year tenure with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., where he served as Managing Director, life science tools and diagnostics in the health care group. From his tenure, Tycho brings unique insights into the life sciences industry where disruptive technologies have driven a complete paradigm shift in diagnostics, tools and precision medicine.

Kathy Hibbs brings more than 20 years of expertise in the clinical laboratory and medical device industries to her new position as member of the board of directors. She currently serves as the Chief Administrative Officer for 23andMe. Prior to 23andMe, she served as General Counsel to Genomic Health and Monogram Biosciences and assisted with Monogram’s 2009 acquisition by LabCorp. Kathy currently serves on the board of Sophia Genetics, and previously was a board member of Decipher Biosciences.

Tom Carey has over 25 years in executive search and consulting within the life sciences sector. Most recently, he served as founder and managing partner of the Perspective Group, a boutique life sciences board and executive search firm. Before founding the firm in 2015, Tom served as the Global Head of the Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice for Russell Reynolds Associates and leader of the Life Sciences Board Practice for Spencer Stuart. Tom was a public life sciences company CFO early in his career. He previously served as the Chair of the Board of Vital Biosciences and held an eight-year tenure on the board of Exact Sciences.

Troy Cox, who joined the board in April 2021 and served as Executive Chairman since October 2022, will transition back to independent board member.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $18.8 million, an 18.1% decrease from $23.0 million in the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the recognition of $1.9 million of licensing revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was 31.1% compared to 54.5% for the corresponding period of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in sample volume from Human Technopole (HTI) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses grew by $11.4 million, and selling, general and administrative expenses grew by $8.1 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 relative to the corresponding prior-year period.

Net loss was $49.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, or a loss of $0.26 per share, as compared to a loss of $23.3 million, or $0.13 per share, in the corresponding period of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $49.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $27.7 million in the corresponding period of 2021.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the full year 2022 was $97.7 million, an increase of $16.1 million, or 20%, compared to the prior year. Growth was primarily due to the accounting recognition of future year licensing revenue minimums.

Full year 2022 gross margin was 55.6%, compared to 59.0% in the prior year, primarily driven by HTI sample volume.

Research and development expenses grew by $29.9 million in 2022 relative to the prior year, primarily driven by projects for content expansion and cost reduction, internal clinical studies, and increased headcount. Selling, general and administrative expenses grew by $78.6 million in 2022 relative to the prior year, primarily due to advisory and management services related to public company compliance and transactions, and commercial team expansion.

For the full year 2022, net loss was $109.2 million, or a loss of $0.59 per share, as compared to a net loss of $87.5 million, or $0.64 per share in the prior year.

For the full year 2022, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $160.6 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $63.6 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Please see the reconciliation of net loss to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA set forth below.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $539.6 million as of December 31, 2022.

2023 Financial Guidance

SomaLogic projects revenue for the full year 2023 to range from $80 million to $84 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results used by management to evaluate and run the business, as well as, for financial planning purposes. Our non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our operating performance on a more consistent basis, and we use this measure for business planning, forecasting, and decision-making. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance as it is useful in assessing our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate this measure in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including net loss.
