Cytek Biosciences Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Second quarter revenue grew 32% compared to prior year

FREMONT, Calif., August 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cytek® Biosciences, Inc. (“Cytek Biosciences” or “Cytek”) (Nasdaq: CTKB) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Recent Highlights

 

   

Total revenue was $40.2 million for the second quarter, representing a 32% increase over the corresponding quarter of 2021

 

   

Expanded the installed base to 1,356 instruments, with 130 instrument placements during the second quarter

 

   

Received CE marking for a series of single-color cFluor® reagents and a 6-color TBNK kit, as Cytek moves to make total cell analysis solutions available for clinical applications in the European market

“I am encouraged by our progress in the second quarter, capping off a strong first half of 2022,” said Dr. Wenbin Jiang, CEO of Cytek Biosciences. “With our total revenue growing 32% from the prior year and continued momentum in instrument placements this quarter, we are well positioned to achieve our stated goals. This past quarter also saw exciting developments – including our progress toward clinical applications in the European market – that align with our long-term strategic objectives.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $40.2 million, a 32% increase over the second quarter of 2021.

Gross profit was $24.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 24% compared to a gross profit of $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit margin was 61% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 65% in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2022 was 64% compared to 65% in the second quarter of 2021, after adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.

Operating expenses were $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, a 60% increase from $15.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to expenses to support continued growth of the business, including further investments in sales and marketing, R&D, and costs related to operating as a public company.

Loss from operations in the second quarter of 2022 was $0.9 million compared to income of $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Net loss in the second quarter of 2022 was $0.7 million compared to net income of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was $4.8 million compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, after adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and foreign currency exchange impacts.

2022 Outlook

Cytek Biosciences continues to expect full year 2022 revenue to be closer to the high end of the range of $160 million to $168 million.

In addition to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), press releases, public conference calls and webcasts, Cytek uses its website (www.cytekbio.com), LinkedIn page and corporate Twitter account as channels of distribution of information about its company, products, planned financial and other announcements, attendance at upcoming investor and industry conferences and other matters.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Cytek has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted gross profit margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA” referenced above, taken in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of the company’s core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the company’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark the company’s performance externally against competitors. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Cytek encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP operating results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release.
