Cue Health Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Cue Health Inc. ("Cue") (Nasdaq: HLTH), a healthcare technology company, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023.

Recent Highlights

  • Reported second quarter total revenue of $10 million at the top-end of our guidance.
  • Received landmark first, over-the-counter De Novo authorization from the FDA for the Cue COVID-19 Molecular Test.
  • Awarded a new $28.3 million contract from BARDA, the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, to accelerate the development, validation, and regulatory authorization of a Flu A/B + RSV + COVID-19 molecular multiplex test for both at-home and point-of-care setting.
  • Submitted the Cue RSV Molecular Test as a De Novo submission to the FDA for at-home and point-of-care use during the second quarter.
  • Flu + COVID combo test under review at FDA.
  • Chlamydia + Gonorrhea molecular test is on track for a submission to the FDA planned for the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Achieved our previously announced cost reduction goal of $150 million of annualized run rate cost savings during the second quarter ahead of our original plan.
  • Ended the second quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $128.6 million and no debt obligations.

“We achieved the top-end of our guidance in the quarter, and expect to return to growth in the second half of the year. We achieved the industry-first FDA De Novo authorization for over-the-counter use of our COVID-19 test, a positive signal for our menu expansion objectives. These include our combination Flu + COVID molecular test and our standalone RSV test, both of which are now under FDA review,” said Ayub Khattak, Chairman and CEO of Cue Health. “Another recent achievement driving our momentum is our new contract with BARDA to develop a Flu + COVID + RSV multiplex test for over-the-counter and point-of-care use. We continue to make good progress on our sexual health menu, with the EUA for our mpox test and our chlamydia & gonorrhea molecular test, which is on-track to submit to the FDA in the fourth quarter. These milestones, together with the early positive signs we’re seeing from Cue Lab and Cue Pharmacy, gives us optimism and confidence in the future of the Cue Health platform.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. Private sector revenue was $7.6 million or 76% of total revenue with strong ordering from existing customers. Public sector revenue was $2.3 million and disposable test cartridge revenue was $7.3 million.

GAAP product gross profit was a loss of $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 impacted by lower manufacturing volumes and a $11.7 million write-down of excess inventory.

GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $65.9 million, excluding cost of revenue, including $6.6 million of restructuring expense related to the cost reduction plan. On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of the restructuring expense, operating expenses were $59.3 million, a sequential decrease of 19% compared to the first quarter and a 37% decrease from $94.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. As of the end of the second quarter, the company has achieved the full amount of the previously announced cost reduction goal of $150 million annualized run rate cost savings.

GAAP net loss in second quarter of 2023 was $83.9 million and earnings per diluted share was a loss of $0.55 or an improvement of $0.12 from the second quarter of 2022. Cue's adjusted net loss was $77.2 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share was a loss of $0.51. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $53.1 million.

Cash and cash equivalents were $128.6 million as of June 30, 2023 and the company continues to operate with no debt obligations.

Guidance

Cue Health expects third quarter 2023 revenues in the range of $11 million to $13 million.

This product has been authorized only for the detection of nucleic acid from monkeypox virus, not for any other viruses or pathogens. The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of infection with the monkeypox virus, including in vitro diagnostics that detect and/or diagnose infection with non-variola Orthopoxvirus, under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization is revoked sooner.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we consider certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted Product Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Expenses, Adjusted Net (loss) Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA (loss). We use these financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our business and financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring expense, disputed vendor payment.

Adjusted product gross profit (loss) is defined as product gross profit (loss), before disputed vendor payment, inventory charges – inventory reserves / warranty reserves.

Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses before cost of revenue, restructuring expense.

Adjusted net loss is defined as Net loss, before disputed vendor payment, restructuring expense and tax effects.

Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Diluted EPS before disputed vendor payment, restructuring expense and tax effects.

Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Further, these metrics have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. Thus, these non-GAAP metrics should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures see the financial tables below.
