SomaLogic Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Company to host conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET
BOULDER, Colo. (May 12, 2022) – SomaLogic, Inc., a leader in AI-data driven proteomics technology, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
“Our successful first quarter has kickstarted another exciting year for SomaLogic as we continue to apply the power of the human proteome to improve health and disease management,” said Roy Smythe, M.D., SomaLogic’s Chief Executive Officer. “We have already reached several milestones critical to providing a variety of protein identification and measurement solutions to our customers and collaborators while expanding our database to develop impactful first-in-class diagnostic test applications. Our healthy cash position of over $645 million enables us to make the strategic investments needed to become the most comprehensive proteomics company in the world."
Recent Strategic Highlights
•Announced exclusive partnership with Illumina to develop co-branded, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based proteomics products.
•Entered collaborations with European Prospective Investigation for Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) and Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) researchers to provide protein measurements for database expansion and the development and validation of novel, high-plex protein diagnostics.
•Published a SomaScan® Platform study in the journal Science Translational Medicine, demonstrating that a 27-protein pattern recognition test outperformed current clinical approaches in predicting 4-year likelihood of severe cardiovascular outcomes.
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $23.0 million, a 21.8% increase from $18.9 million in the corresponding period of 2021.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was 49.3% compared to 66.9% for the corresponding period of 2021. The decline was primarily due to a high comparable in the first quarter of 2021, the timing of cost accounting adjustments this quarter, and the impacts of a modest capacity ramp up as we invested in EPIC and MESA samples in the first quarter of 2022.
Research and development expenses grew by $5.7 million, and selling, general and administrative expenses grew by $18.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, relative to the corresponding period of 2021. The increase corresponds with the investments we are making to enable our growth acceleration initiatives.
Net loss was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, or a loss of $0.02 per share, as compared to a loss of $9.5 million, or $0.08 per share, in the corresponding period of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $32.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $7.6 million in the corresponding period of 2021.
2022 Financial Guidance
Based on ongoing strength in its business, SomaLogic is maintaining revenue guidance for the full year 2022 at a range of $105 million to $110 million, which represents 29% to 35% growth over the company’s 2021 revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results used by management to evaluate and run the business, as well as, for financial planning purposes. Our non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.
Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our operating performance on a more consistent basis, and we use this measure for business planning, forecasting, and decision-making. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance as it is useful in assessing our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business.
Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate this measure in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including net loss.
