Quotient Limited Provides Update on COVID-19 Antibody Test Progress, Other Key Developments and Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2020 Results

JERSEY, Channel Islands, June 9, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quotient Limited (NASDAQ:QTNT), a commercial-stage diagnostics company (Quotient or the Company), headquartered in Eysins, Switzerland, today summarized recent key achievements. These included Quotient's rapid development of a high performance COVID-19 antibody test based on its innovative MosaiQ™ platform and several commercial MosaiQ contracts. Quotient's European Field Trials in transfusion diagnostics recently restarted for the Company's expanded MosaiQ IH microarray. A CE Mark was obtained for the Company's initial SDS microarray. The Company also announced strong top line growth for both its fourth quarter ended March 31, 2020 and for the full financial year.

“The global coronavirus crisis was a shock to everyone, but we are very proud of how the Quotient  team leveraged the knowledge we acquired over the past eight years, and the flexibility of the MosaiQ platform, to develop a state of the art COVID-19 antibody test. The test performs with 100% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity and detects antibodies early due to its sensitivity to both IgM and IgG antibodies. The fact that we were able to sign several MosaiQ COVID-19 antibody test customer contracts, demonstrates the attractiveness of our innovative MosaiQ platform,” said Franz Walt, Chief Executive Officer of Quotient.

Mr. Walt added “I am pleased to report that we restarted the expanded IH Field Trials in Europe and we are expecting the first commercial transfusion menu in Q1 CY2021. I am also pleased that, despite the unprecedented disruption caused by the pandemic, we were able to exceed sales expectations for our Alba by Quotient reagent business.”

MosaiQ Platform

MosaiQ, Quotient's next-generation platform, is designed to deliver fast immunohematology, serological and molecular disease screening (MDS), using a single low volume sample on a high throughput automated platform. MosaiQ represents a transformative and highly disruptive unified testing system for transfusion diagnostics and beyond. Feasibility to deliver required performance

in serological and molecular disease screening has been demonstrated. MosaiQ offers the potential to significantly reduce complexity and improve workflow for our customers.

Regulatory and Commercial Milestones

Franz Walt commented “I am delighted with the Quotient team who were able to turn the crisis into a positive contribution to the fight against COVID-19 and who continue to deliver on our goals.”

Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

The Alba by Quotient reagent business once again generated strong revenue growth during fiscal 2020, with product revenues growing 10.2% for the full year and 11.1% in the fourth quarter. Product revenue growth for the fiscal year was driven by 5% growth in sales to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers, while direct product sales grew 24%. In the fourth quarter, gross margin on product sales was 45.6% compared to 43.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, reflecting improved product mix and the efficiencies gained through the Company’s new reagent manufacturing site. For fiscal year 2020 gross margin on product sales also improved year on year from 39.9% to 43.7%, as the incremental costs of the relocation to the new manufacturing site were removed. Milestone payments earned from the development and approval for sale in the United States of certain rare antisera reagents developed for a key OEM customer, contributed $1.1 million of other revenues in fiscal year 2020 compared to $0.5 million in the prior year.

Key revenue and profit results are summarized below (expressed in thousands, except percentages)

The operating loss for the quarter and the year ended March 31, 2020 included termination and transition benefit costs of approximately $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as well as, legal and advisory fees related to the Company’s termination of its distribution and supply agreement with Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Inc. (OCD) and the related arbitration with OCD.  

Capital expenditures totaled $4.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2020, compared with $4.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2019.

As at March 31, 2020 Quotient had $120.8 million in available cash and other short-term investments and $153.0 million of debt and $8.7 million in an offsetting long-term cash reserve account.

Outlook for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021

Alba by Quotient product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 are expected to be within the range of $8.4 to $8.9 million, compared with $8.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

The Company is not providing guidance on the operating loss due to the uncertainty around revenues derived from MosaiQ by Quotient COVID-19 antibody tests.

Quarterly product sales can fluctuate depending upon the shipment cycles for red blood                 cell-based products, which account for approximately two-thirds of current product sales. These products typically experience 13 shipment cycles per year, equating to three shipments of each product per quarter, except for one quarter per year when four shipments occur. The timing of shipment of bulk antisera products to OEM customers may also move revenues from quarter to quarter. Some seasonality in demand is also experienced around holiday periods in both Europe and the United States. As a result of these factors, Quotient expects to continue to see seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variations in product sales. The timing of product development fees included in other revenues is mostly dependent upon the achievement of pre-negotiated project milestones.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that Quotient will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred net losses from operations in each year since it commenced operations in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $483.4 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company expects to include disclosure within its Annual Form 10-K in respect of certain conditions concerning the Company’s overall liquidity position that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, which the Company’s auditors will also reference in their report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
