SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today reported certain unaudited preliminary financial results and business updates for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

 

Q1 2023 Preliminary Unaudited Highlights and Updates

 

 

 

 

•

The first quarter 2023 would represent the 10th consecutive quarter of revenue growth compared to the same quarter of the prior year dating back to the fourth quarter of 2020.

“We believe the preliminary first quarter 2023 results, which include expected growth in revenue, installed base and consumables sales, would represent a continuation of the strong performance we reported for the full year 2022 and our momentum building now for over 10 consecutive quarters. We remain focused on expanding awareness of Bionano and its products and growing our product portfolio to complete the end-to-end solution for OGM,” commented Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano. “At our inaugural Strategy Day in February 2023, we outlined our strategy and key anticipated milestones planned over the next two years. We are committed to executing against our strategy to achieve our objectives and our 2023 financial guidance, which includes expected full year 2023 revenue in the range of $35 million to $38 million and reaching an installed base of 325 OGM systems by the end of 2023. Furthermore, we are continuing our clinical research initiatives aimed at providing the data and publications to demonstrate to potential customers the value and utility of OGM. We believe medical societies should be able to use these data as the basis for integrating OGM into the recommended set of tools used routinely for genome analysis in human clinical research.”

 

Bionano has not completed preparation of its financial statements for the first quarter of 2023. The financial performance measures presented in this press release for the first quarter of 2023 are preliminary and unaudited, based on management’s initial review of the information presented, and are thus inherently uncertain and subject to change as Bionano completes its end-of-period reporting process and related activities for the first quarter of 2023. Bionano is in the process of completing its customary quarter-end close and review procedures as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and the final results for this period could differ from the preliminary expected results disclosed in this press release. During the course of the preparation of Bionano's consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Bionano’s independent registered public accountants may identify items that could cause final reported results to be materially different from the preliminary estimates presented herein. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of Bionano’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on this preliminary information.
