LEXINGTON, Mass., Aug. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO) (the “Company”), a leader in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Recent Financial and Operational Highlights
Recent Pipeline and Clinical Highlights
“Our second quarter results were highlighted by record quarterly sepsis test panel orders and the second largest sepsis-driven instrument order in company history, demonstrating increasing demand for our life-saving direct-from-whole blood sepsis pathogen detection products,” stated John Sperzel, Chairman and CEO of T2 Biosystems. “Progressing each of our corporate priorities, the implementation of our strategic restructuring program, which has led to a reduction in operating costs and the strengthening of the balance sheet, positions T2 Biosystems to continue the exploration of strategic alternatives and execute on our product development and growth initiatives.”
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $2.0 million, a 67% decrease compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by reduced BARDA contribution revenues and de minimus COVID-19 test sales. Product revenue was $2.0 million, a decrease of 23% compared to the prior year period, driven by the decline in COVID-19 test sales and partially offset by increased sepsis test sales.
Cost of product revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $4.9 million, a 4% decrease compared to the prior year period, driven by decreased COVID-19 test sales. Research and development expenses were $3.9 million, a 52% decrease compared to the prior year period, driven by decreased BARDA contract activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.3 million, a 20% decrease compared to the prior year period driven by decreased Medical Affairs spending.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $6.3 million, $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.0 million, $5.10 per share, in the prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company raised $18.5 million in net proceeds through ATM sales in the second quarter of 2023 and on July 6, 2023, converted $10 million, or approximately 20%, of its term loan into equity.
Updated 2023 Financial Outlook
The Company now expects full year total sepsis and related product revenue of $9.5 million to $10.5 million, representing growth of 13% to 25%, compared to 2022.
