908 Devices Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Narrows 2023 Revenue Outlook

BOSTON – November 7, 2023 – 908 Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built handheld and desktop devices for chemical and biochemical analysis, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

"We are pleased with the step-up in our revenues from the second quarter and the positive growth trend over the past nine months, despite the challenging environment in the life sciences instrumentation and bioprocessing markets," said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder. "Handheld revenue grew 19% year to date and we expect that to further accelerate in the fourth quarter. This underscores the value our handheld devices bring to our customers, aiding them in enhancing public safety during the ongoing crises of counterfeit drugs and opioids. Our expanding range of products and diverse markets are key strengths for 908 Devices, positioning us for success over the near and long term."

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

·	Revenue of $35.9 million for the first nine months of 2023, increasing 2% compared to first nine months of 2022

·	Revenue of $14.3 million for the third quarter 2023, decreasing 9% compared to the third quarter 2022

Handheld revenue was $11.7 million

Desktop revenue was $2.5 million

Recurring revenue was $3.6 million

·	Ended the third quarter 2023 with $148 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with no debt outstanding, decreasing $5 million compared to prior quarter end

Recent Operating Highlights

·	Launched MAVERICK in September for real-time in-line monitoring of multiple bioprocess parameters

·	Entered initial production phase of US Department of Defense Aerosol and Vapor Chemical Agent Detector program to produce 122 initial systems, with partner Smiths Detection

·	Received $10.4 million in orders from the United States Air Force for MX908 devices, Aero accessories, and support and recognized $4.2 million in the third quarter 2023

·	Announced a collaboration with Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies for integrating our MAVEN on-line analyzer with Terumo BCT’s Quantum Flex cell therapy expansion platform

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a 9% decrease over the prior year period. This was primarily driven by a decline in desktop devices and handheld recurring revenue. The installed base grew to 2,714 devices with 124 devices placed during the third quarter 2023.

Recurring revenue represented 25% of total revenues in the quarter. Recurring revenue declined $0.9 million to $3.6 million over the prior year period. This was driven by a decline in handheld accessory and consumable revenue, offset in part by growth in service revenue.

Gross profit was $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 55% as compared to 59% for the corresponding prior year period. The decline in gross margin was largely due to the decrease in revenues as well as higher service costs with training obligations, charges for excess and obsolete inventory, and the higher non-cash charges for intangible amortization and stock-based compensation during the third quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses were $17.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $16.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by stock-based compensation and an increase in acquisition related costs for intangible amortization and valuation of contingent milestones, offset in part by a reduction in general operating costs.

Net loss was $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $6.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.22 for the third quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss per share of $0.20 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $148 million as of September 30, 2023.

2023 Guidance

908 Devices now expects full year 2023 revenue to be in the range of $49 million to $51 million, representing 4% to 9% growth over full year 2022, which compares to its previous expectations of $49 million to $52 million.
