Teknova Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Full year 2022 total revenue was $41.4 million, up 12% year-over-year
New, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility now operational
Company provides 2023 revenue guidance of $42-46 million

HOLLISTER, Calif., March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Teknova, Inc. (“Teknova” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TKNO), a leading producer of critical reagents for the research, discovery, development, and commercialization of novel therapies, vaccines, and molecular diagnostics, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2022.

“We achieved our operational objectives in 2022, positioning the company for significant and sustainable long-term growth,” said Stephen Gunstream, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teknova. “Despite the expected short-term market related headwinds, the outlook for our end-markets remains positive and we are committed to executing on our strategy. In 2023, we will focus on scaling the business and we expect to deliver revenue growth in line with our long-term expectation of 25% or more beginning in the second half of 2023.”

“We are completing a two-year period of planned investments and we’ve also enacted a number of measures to appropriately manage operating costs in 2023 and beyond,” explained Matt Lowell, Chief Financial Officer of Teknova. “As such, we expect our capital expenditures this year will be significantly lower than in 2022 and our operating expenses will be flat compared to 2022, excluding non-recurring charges. We therefore anticipate full-year free cash outflow of approximately $30 million and are comfortable with our liquidity position.”

Corporate and Financial Updates

  • Achieved full year 2022 total revenue of $41.4 million, up 12% as compared to $36.9 million for the full year 2021, and up 17% from $35.4 million to $41.4 million, when Sample Transport is excluded
  • Completed our new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility which is operational for the production of research-grade (RUO) products. Qualification activities are underway, and the facility is expected to be operational for the production of GMP-grade products by mid-2023
  • Of our now 100 cell and gene therapy customer accounts representing 25% of annual revenue, 56 purchase custom and/or GMP-grade reagents, an increase from 40 in 2021
  • Cash position of $42.2 million at year-end and gross debt of $22.1 million
  • Goodwill and long-lived assets were impaired, resulting in one-time, non-cash impairment charges of $16.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the full year 2022

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2022 was $7.9 million, down 22% compared to $10.1 million in the fourth quarter 2021. Revenue for the fourth quarter 2022 was $7.9 million, an 18% decrease from $9.6 million in the fourth quarter 2021, excluding Sample Transport.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter 2022 was $2.1 million, compared to $5.0 million in the fourth quarter 2021. Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2022 was 26.7%, compared to 49.2% in the fourth quarter 2021. The lower gross margin for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter 2021 primarily reflects additional headcount resulting in higher labor costs and supplies.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2022 were $16.3 million, compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter 2021. The increase was primarily related to a one-time, $4.2 million non-cash impairment charge related to long-lived assets, coupled with additional headcount, stock-based compensation expense, and marketing costs.

Net loss for the fourth quarter 2022 was $13.3 million, or negative $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $3.6 million, or negative $0.13 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2022 was negative $8.1 million, compared to negative $3.4 million for the fourth quarter 2021. Free Cash Flow was negative $12.8 million for the fourth quarter 2022, compared to negative $10.5 million for the fourth quarter 2021.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue was $41.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022”), a 12% increase from $36.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021”). Revenue for 2022 was $41.4 million, a 17% increase from $35.4 million in 2021, excluding Sample Transport.

Gross profit for 2022 was $17.5 million, compared to $17.6 million in 2021. Gross margin for 2022 was 42.2%, compared to 47.8% in 2021. The lower gross margin for 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily reflects additional headcount resulting in higher labor costs and supplies.

Operating expenses for 2022 were $67.1 million, compared to $29.6 million in 2021. The increase was primarily related to a one-time, $16.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a one-time, $4.2 million non-cash long lived asset impairment charge, coupled with additional headcount, stock-based compensation expense, and marketing costs.

Net loss for 2022 was $47.5 million, or negative $1.69 per diluted share, compared to $9.8 million, or negative $0.61 per diluted share, for 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was negative $21.9 million, compared to negative $7.6 million for 2021. Free Cash Flow was negative $55.5 million for 2022, compared to negative $28.9 million for 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Teknova uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of its business and the effectiveness of its business strategies: (a) Adjusted EBITDA and (b) Free Cash Flow.

Teknova defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for interest income (expense), net, benefit from income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash and other items that Teknova does not consider representative of its ongoing operating performance.

Teknova defines Free Cash Flow as cash used in operating activities less purchases of property, plant, and equipment.

Teknova presents Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in this press release because Teknova believes that analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use these measures to evaluate companies in Teknova's industry and that such measures facilitate comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Teknova also believes such measures are helpful in highlighting trends in Teknova's operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of Teknova's core operating performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by Teknova may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

A full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release about future expectations, plans and prospects, as well as any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to Teknova’s anticipated total revenue, including our expectations for 2023 revenue guidance, expected growth in Lab Essentials and Clinical Solutions, ongoing capacity expansion, new research and development products, prospects, including to achieve profitability, strategy of managing operating expenses, and long-term growth strategy. The words, without limitation, “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these or similar identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to uncertainties and factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Teknova’s control and could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the fact that the Company’s fourth quarter and year-end financial closing procedures, annual accounting procedures and adjustments, and annual audit of its financial statements are not yet complete; demand for Teknova’s products (including the potential delay or pausing of customer orders); Teknova’s assessment of fundamental indicators of future demand across its target customer base; Teknova’s ability to expand its production, commercial, and R&D capabilities; Teknova’s cash flows and revenue growth rate; Teknova’s supply chain, sourcing, manufacturing and warehousing; inventory management; risks related to global economic and marketplace uncertainties, including those related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; reliance on a limited number of customers for a high percentage of Teknova’s revenue; potential acquisitions and integration of other companies; and other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of Teknova’s most recent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in Teknova’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, all of which you may obtain for free on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Although Teknova believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, Teknova does not know whether its expectations will prove correct. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, even if subsequently made available by Teknova on its website or otherwise. Teknova does not undertake any obligation to update, amend or clarify these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
