GenMark Diagnostics Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

CARLSBAD, Calif - GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNMK), a leading provider of automated, multiplex molecular diagnostic testing systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Highlights
•
Recognized revenues of $14.9 million, an increase of 21% over the prior year period
•
Placed 39 net new ePlex analyzers, expanding the global installed base to 267 placements
•
Submitted the ePlex BCID Gram Positive panel to the FDA
•
Completed clinical testing for FDA submission of the ePlex BCID Gram Negative panel
•
Commenced clinical study for FDA submission of the ePlex Fungal Pathogen panel

“Our second quarter results reflect solid execution on our strategic priorities of growth through ePlex commercialization and menu expansion, as well as improving manufacturing efficiencies. Top line performance was largely driven by strong ePlex placements and demand for our respiratory pathogen test cartridges. We also submitted to the FDA the first of three blood culture identification panels being developed on our ePlex system, which was a significant milestone for the company. We expect FDA submission of the remaining two blood culture panels in the third and fourth quarters of this year, as previously communicated,” said Hany Massarany, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Based on this momentum and our continued focus on commercial and operational execution, I am confident we will achieve our goals for 2018 and beyond.”

Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue was $14.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of 21% versus $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. Gross profit was $4.4 million, or 30% of revenue, compared with $4.9 million, or 40% of revenue in the same period of 2017, reflecting the increased proportion of ePlex revenues in the quarter versus prior year.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $20.2 million compared to $22.2 million in the same period for 2017. The decrease was largely due to reduced ePlex development expenses.

Loss per share was $0.30 per share for the second quarter of 2018, compared to a $0.37 loss per share in the second quarter of 2017.

The Company ended the quarter with $55.2 million in cash and investments, reflecting the impact of reductions in operating expenses and efforts to minimize working capital needs.

Guidance for Full Year 2018
GenMark is reconfirming 2018 revenue guidance of $68 to $72 million. Gross margin is expected to be in the 30% range. The Company continues to expect ePlex placements of 140-170 net new analyzers, and an annuity per ePlex placement in the $100,000 to $120,000 range.
