First quarter financial results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $28.8 million, as compared to $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, growing 5% year over year and driven primarily by strength in our kit business.

First quarter 2024 kits revenue of $17.6 million represented 61% of our total revenue, compared to 49% for the first quarter of 2023; and grew 30% year over year as a result of continued Explore and Target revenue growth in combination with the launch of Explore HT.

Analysis services revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.8 million, as compared to $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Other revenue was $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. Other revenue decrease was driven by Signature Q100 placements, this was largely due to a year over year decrease in China where Q1 2023 benefited from government stimulus.

By geography, revenue during the first quarter of 2024 was $17.1 million in Americas, $7.7 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $4.0 million in China and RoW (including Japan).

Reported gross profit was $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit was $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Reported gross profit margin for kits was 78% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 81% for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin for kits was 80% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 83% for the first quarter of 2023.

Reported gross profit margin for analysis services was 29% as compared to 56% in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 42% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 62% in the first quarter of 2023.

Reported and adjusted gross profit margin for Other was 42% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 21% for the first quarter of 2023.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $42.4 million, as compared to $34.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase was largely due the overall growth of the business, which includes expenses related to strategic initiatives.

Net loss was $(16.1) million for the first quarter of 2024 and adjusted EBITDA was $(15.5) million, as compared to a net loss of $(14.0) million and adjusted EBITDA of $(9.4) million for the first quarter of 2023. Add-back in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2024 amounted to a total of $4.1 million which pertain to costs associated with the work in response to the tender offer by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced on October 17, 2023, $1.1 million, and costs for the share-based compensation, $3.0 million. Add-back in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2023 amounted to a total of $3.6 million which primarily included costs related to our January 2023 capital raise, $1.5 million, and costs for the share-based compensation, $2.1 million.

Net loss per share for the first quarter of 2024 was $(0.13) based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 124,342,715 as compared to a net loss per share of $(0.11) in the first quarter of 2023 based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 122,954,966.

Statement regarding use of non IFRS financial measures
We present certain non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of these non-IFRS measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. We caution readers that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted gross profit margin by segment, and constant currency revenue growth, may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies. Not all companies and Wall Street analysts calculate the non-IFRS measures we use in the same manner. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of these non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

We are not able to forecast constant currency revenue on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting foreign currency exchange rates and, as a result, are unable to provide a reconciliation to forecasted constant currency revenue.

Reconciliation of constant currency revenue growth to revenue growth as reported under IFRS, the most directly comparable IFRS measure (unaudited):

We use the non-IFRS measure of constant currency growth, which we define as our total revenue growth from one fiscal year to the next on a constant currency exchange rate basis. We measure our constant currency revenue growth by applying the current fiscal period’s average exchange rate to the prior year fiscal period.
