NM – not meaningful

  • Net revenues for the second quarter of 2023 were $85.4 million, a 6% increase from the second quarter of 2022.
  • InteliSwab® test revenue of $47.5 million in the second quarter grew 10% year-over-year but decreased 60% sequentially as test volumes declined from the record levels experienced in the prior quarter.
  • Core revenue (excluding COVID-19 revenues) of $37.9 million in the second quarter grew 4% sequentially and 3% year-over-year. Core revenue growth was driven by strong HIV sales in the U.S. and international markets. Molecular product revenue in the quarter increased 1% sequentially but declined on a year-over-year basis, which was in line with our expectations.
  • GAAP gross margin percentage was 30.9% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 34.6% in the second quarter of 2022 and compared to 42.5% in the first quarter of 2023. GAAP gross margin in the second quarter of 2023 includes $7 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the wind-down of manufacturing operations in Thailand. Non-GAAP gross margins in the second quarter of 2023 were 42.0% compared to 40.4% in the second quarter of 2022 and compared to 42.8% in the first quarter of 20231. Excluding the impact of the accelerated depreciation and other non-GAAP adjustments, on a year-over-year basis, gross margins benefited from certain cost reductions, including a reduction in headcount, InteliSwab® packaging redesign, and lower freight costs.
  • GAAP operating loss in the second quarter of 2023 was $6.4 million which compares to a $21.5 million operating loss in the second quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP operating income was $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a $1.2 million non-GAAP operating loss in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Cash and cash equivalents increased to $185.9 million as of June 30, 2023. The $73.5 million increase in our cash balance during the second quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by strong collections of accounts receivable. We also received $17.8 million from the U.S. government related to our manufacturing expansion contract.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Received purchase orders in July 2023 under existing contracts for delivery of InteliSwab® devices. These orders are expected to generate at least $70 million of revenue in the second half of 2023.
  • Signed a collaboration to work on a multi-year project with the Regeneron Genetics Center® (RGC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that focuses on early gene discovery and functional genomics. RGC has chosen the OraGeneDx® device for all saliva collection requirements, along with leveraging OraSure's in-house kitting and single-order fulfillment services to remodel its DNA collection workflow.
  • Continued progress on consolidating our manufacturing footprint to drive operating efficiencies, including re-shoring some of our capacity to the United States. We continue to make progress on the installation and testing of new equipment and automation capabilities at our new Opus Way facility in Bethlehem, Pa., in addition to our existing OraQuick® device automated production. As discussed in prior quarters, we expect this phase of the expansion to be completed in 2023, with additional facility consolidation to follow.
  • Signed an agreement with the International Vaccine Institute (IVI) to utilize our Colli-Pee® first-void urine collection kits as part of a research study to understand the burden of human papillomavirus (HPV) among girls and women in low and lower middle-income countries.
  • On track to achieve operating cash flow breakeven for the core business by the end of 2024.
