Summary Preliminary Financial Data For Quarter Ended September 30, 2022



The company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, are not yet available. Accordingly, the information presented below reflects the company’s estimates and expectations for the three months ended September 30, 2022, subject to the completion of its financial close process. As a result, these estimates may differ from the actual results that will be reflected in the company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, when they are issued. These estimates may change. These estimates are not meant to be a comprehensive statement of the company’s financial position and results for this period. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these estimates.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company’s preliminary estimated revenue was $37.4 million, as compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $12.7 million or 51% compared to three months ended September 30, 2021. The company’s preliminary estimated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was between $27.8 million and $28.2 million, compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The company’s preliminary estimated gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was between 74% and 75%, compared to 75% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and compared to 73% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The company’s estimated gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 increased in comparison to the second quarter of 2022 due to a benefit associated with a standard cost revaluation in the third quarter of 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the company began to manufacture commercial product at its Minnesota facility. This milestone necessitated that the company revalue its standard costs at the end of the third quarter of 2022, which impacted gross profit for the quarter. The company’s estimated operating expenses were between $37.2 million and $37.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $31.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, which represents an increase of between 17% and 18%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company’s estimated net loss was between $10.2 million and $10.6 million, as compared to $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of between $3.3 million and $3.7 million or between 24% and 27%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the company’s preliminary estimated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balance was $105.1 million. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to such preliminary financial information.
