March 21, 2023 | Last Trade: US$0.02 0.00 0.00

LONDON, March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LumiraDx Limited (NASDAQ: LMDX), a next-generation point of care (POC) diagnostics company, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

  • Full year 2022 revenues of $254.5 million.
  • Q4 2022 revenue of $41.1 million compared to Q3 2022 revenue of $42.2 million; strong position in a changing COVID testing market.
  • Increased our installed base by more than 1,500 Platform instruments, primarily in Europe, driven by new product sales in diabetes, inflammation, heart failure and respiratory disease. Demonstrating Platform consolidation strategy in UK and Germany.        
  • Commenced commercial shipments of heart failure tests in Europe.
  • Working with the Independent Test Assessment Program (ITAP) established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to achieve accelerated FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) review for COVID & Flu combination product.

Ron Zwanziger, Chairman and CEO of LumiraDx, stated, "We are pleased to have delivered a strong fourth quarter, driven by higher volumes and new product sales. Our focus on commercializing new products in Europe and other international markets, progressing our pipeline in the United States, accelerating the development of our high value assays, and strengthening our financial position is paying off. We remain committed to delivering improved health outcomes at lower cost through fast, accurate and comprehensive diagnostic information at the point of need."

2022 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Highlights

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, LumiraDx delivered revenue of $254.5 million compared to $421.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, LumiraDx delivered revenue of $41.1 million compared to $42.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 and $118.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Covid antigen test revenues for the quarter were $24.7 million while our Fast Labs Covid revenues were $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-Covid specific revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $8 million or 20% of total revenues, including $3 million from our point of care Platform.

The Company recorded an accounting impairment of $96 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 for excess manufacturing and inventory related to the scale-up during peak Covid testing demand and the decision to pause commercialization of the Amira Covid test. IFRS gross margins, including the one-time impact of the impairment charges, were ($98.8) million and ($35.3) million for the quarter and the full year 2022, respectively. Total adjusted gross margin for the full year 2022 was 25% compared to 36% in the full year 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the full year 2022, our test strip margin continued to exceed 80%.

Research and development expenses were $21.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Our non-IFRS adjusted research and development expenses were $19.3 million in the fourth quarter compared to $29.2 million in the prior quarter.

Sales, marketing and administrative expenses were $31.2 million in the fourth quarter. Our non-IFRS adjusted sales, marketing and administrative expenses were $23.1 million in the fourth quarter compared to $27.9 million in the prior quarter. The reductions in operating expenses reflect the full benefit of the June restructuring and the partial benefit of the additional restructuring steps the Company undertook in the fourth quarter.

Net loss for the year was $449.2 million or $1.59 per fully diluted share and includes a number of significant non-cash charges. The adjusted net loss for the year was $212.2 million or $0.75 per fully diluted share. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash balance was $100.0 million.

Ron Zwanziger commented further, “We continue to progress on our strategic milestones enabling us to deliver on our mission for improved health outcomes at lower cost through fast, accurate and comprehensive diagnostic information at the point of need. We now have a key group of those tests most desired for community-based testing in Europe and certain international markets. Our broader test menu now enables customers to consolidate three different instruments they are currently using into a single LumiraDx platform and workflow– with the opportunity to consolidate up to six instruments in the next 18 to 24 months. Thanks to this expanded menu and widely recognized performance and cost advantages over competitors, we continue to expand our customer base. Furthermore, as we expand to manufacturing multiple non-COVID test strips using common materials, we are realizing the benefits of our single, highly automated manufacturing process across our menu of assays.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the effectiveness of our strategy, regulatory progress and the advancement of our pipeline of tests, the timing and results of our clinical trials, the timing of commercial launch of certain products, the benefits and performance of our tests, and the expected timing and results of our cost-saving initiatives and global restructuring activities. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, among others, general economic, political and business conditions; changes in interest rates, inflation rates and global and domestic market conditions; the effect of COVID-19 on LumiraDx's business and financial results; obtaining or maintaining regulatory approval, authorization or clearance for our tests; and those factors discussed under the header "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021,which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 13, 2022, in our report on Form 6-K that was filed with the SEC on August 16, 2022, and in other filings that we make with the SEC. Although LumiraDx believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this press release, LumiraDx cautions you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by it and its projections of the future, about which it cannot be certain. LumiraDx undertakes no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We present non-IFRS financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-IFRS financial measures depict the true performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and controllable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-IFRS financial measures and margins are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be considered as alternatives to operating loss, gross margin or net income (loss) or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles.

We define non-IFRS operating loss and non-IFRS net loss as operating loss and net loss, respectively, excluding amortization, share-based payments, IFRS 2 listing expense, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange (gain)/loss, government assessment amounts, restructuring and severance payments, certain fixed asset and inventory impairments, dividends on preferred shares and non-cash interest. We define non-IFRS expenses as expenses excluding amortization, restructuring and severance payments, certain fixed asset and inventory impairments and share-based payments. We recommend that you review the reconciliation of the non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure provided in the financial statement tables included below, and that you not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
