LOWELL, Mass., Aug. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid Micro Biosystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RPID) (the “Company”), an innovative life sciences technology company providing mission critical automation solutions to facilitate the efficient manufacturing and fast, safe release of healthcare products, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Recent Highlights

  • Second quarter total revenue (combined product and service revenue) increased 30% to $5.0 million
  • Second quarter recurring revenue increased 44% to $3.6 million, including record consumable revenue
  • Placed two new systems and completed validation of three new customer systems in the second quarter

"We were once again pleased with our commercial execution in both products and services during the second quarter," said Robert Spignesi, President and CEO. "We delivered 30% total revenue growth as our teams effectively navigated ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty in the period. Additionally, we achieved record consumable revenue and pull-through in the quarter, which contributed to a 44% increase in recurring revenue, demonstrating the strength of our business model."

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2023 increased 30% to $5.0 million, from $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. The Company placed two new Growth Direct® systems and completed the validation of three new customer systems in the second quarters of both 2023 and 2022. An increase in the cumulative number of validated customer systems and higher consumable revenue per average validated system in the period resulted in higher service contract revenue and higher consumable revenue compared to the prior year period. This also drove an increase in recurring revenue of 44% to $3.6 million, compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter last year.

Total cost of revenue was $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 36%. The increase was primarily due to higher shipments of consumables and higher costs to support increased service activity.

Total operating expenses were $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $14.0 million, compared to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher costs of revenue, partially offset by higher revenue and increased interest income. Net loss per share for the second quarter of 2023 was $0.33, compared to $0.31 in the second quarter of 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $113.3 million, which the Company continues to expect to provide a cash runway at least into 2026. The Company had no debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023.

Full Year 2023 Outlook

The Company is reaffirming its prior full year 2023 outlook for revenue of at least $22.0 million, representing growth of approximately 30%, and the placement of at least 15 systems.
