OpGen Announces Preliminary Unaudited Revenue and Cash Position for Third Quarter 2022 and Provides Business Update

  • Preliminary Total Revenue for Q3 2022 was approximately $0.4 million
  • Cash as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $10.3 million and as of October 3, 2022 was approximately $13.3 million
  • Additional customer contract for Acuitas AMR Gene Panel signed in Q3 2022

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OpGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPGN, “OpGen”), a precision medicine company harnessing the power of molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics to help combat infectious disease, announced today that total preliminary unaudited revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was approximately $0.4 million, down from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. Cash as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $10.3 million and, following the successful closing of a financing transaction, was approximately $13.3 million as of October 3, 2022.

The company announced accomplishment of the following key milestones and recent developments in the third quarter of 2022:

  • OpGen subsidiary Curetis and BioVersys signed a collaboration agreement for clinical trial support
  • OpGen signed another commercial customer contract for the Acuitas AMR Gene Panel
  • OpGen closed a registered direct offering for gross proceeds of $3.38 million on October 3, 2022
  • OpGen announced successful completion of clinical trial enrollment for the Unyvero Urinary Tract Infection Panel
  • OpGen subsidiary Curetis and FIND signed a R&D collaboration agreement for the Unyvero A30 RQ platform
  • Nasdaq granted OpGen a 180-day extension to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement
  • OpGen launched ARES sequencing services in the U.S. from its Rockville, Maryland laboratory
  • OpGen subsidiary Ares Genetics GmbH entered into a collaboration agreement with the Belgian national reference center for invasive S. pneumoniae at University Hospital Leuven

Mr. Schacht commented, “We have seen a decrease in revenue in Q3 2022 compared to last year’s third quarter due to the completion of the New York State Department of Health project in Q3 last year, and lower than expected ARES sales. Our preliminary quarterly results do not reflect the potential impact from the FIND collaboration agreement, which is expected to culminate with a series of milestones and deliverables at the end of Q1 2023. Acuitas sales are not reflected in the third quarter numbers at a material level either, since the first couple of sites became operational with completed systems installations and trainings in October. We have been informed by Beijing Clear Biotech’s regulatory advisors about NMPA feedback regarding our Unyvero A50 pneumonia product which would require us to re-submit in China under a new electronic filing regime. We are in dialog with them to gain further insights and assess the potential impact on the overall process and timelines and will provide an update as soon as practicable.”

The preliminary Q3 2022 financial results are estimates prior to the completion of OpGen’s financial closing procedures and review procedures by its external auditors and therefore may be subject to adjustment when the actual results are available.
