Insights

The Q3 2024 results reveal concerning financial trends for Co-Diagnostics. $0.6 million in revenue marks a significant 76% decline from the previous year's $2.5 million, primarily driven by grant revenue timing. The company's operating loss widened to $10.2 million from $8.9 million, while net loss deteriorated to $9.7 million. The cash position of $37.7 million provides roughly 4 quarters of runway at current burn rates.

The regulatory pathway for their PCR platform remains a critical uncertainty, with FDA review ongoing. While the pipeline development shows promise, particularly in tuberculosis and HPV testing, the company needs to accelerate commercialization to address declining revenues and mounting losses. The upcoming oligonucleotide facility in India could help improve margins, but near-term financial pressure persists.

The company's strategic focus on expanding diagnostic capabilities beyond COVID-19 shows promise, particularly with the development of tuberculosis and multiplex respiratory tests. The in silico analysis of their Mpox test demonstrating reactivity against newer strains indicates strong R&D capabilities. The expansion of vector control business across 15 states represents meaningful market penetration.

However, the pending FDA review of the Co-Dx PCR platform remains a important milestone that will determine market access. The company's ability to successfully commercialize its diagnostic pipeline while maintaining regulatory compliance will be essential for future growth. The focus on accessible diagnostics aligns with global healthcare needs, but execution and timeline to market remain critical factors.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CODX), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results:

  • Revenue of $0.6 million, which declined from $2.5 million during the prior year primarily due to timing of grant revenue recognition. Grant revenue totaled $0.4 million while product revenue totaled $0.2 million
  • Operating expenses of $10.6 million decreased by 5.0% from the prior year due to higher expenses in 2023 related to platform development and regulatory submission preparation
  • Operating loss of $10.2 million compared to operating loss of $8.9 million in 2023
  • Net loss of $9.7 million, compared to net loss of $6.0 million in the prior year, representing a loss of $0.32 per fully diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.20 per fully diluted share in the prior year
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.8 million
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $37.7 million as of September 30, 2024

Third Quarter and Recent 2024 Business Highlights:

  • Completed in silico analysis of the Co-Dx™ Logix Smart® Mpox 2-Gene RUO test to evaluate sensitivity for clade 1b mpox, which showed that the test should retain full reactivity against newer strains
  • Announced expansion of vector control business line to customers across 15 states
  • Attended and participated in ADLM 2024 in Chicago to discuss the role of the Co-Dx PCR Pro™ Platform* in closing the global diagnostics gap for many indications, including tuberculosis (TB)
  • Presented and hosted a booth at the 16th Next Generation Dx Summit in Washington, D.C., to discuss the future of accessible diagnostics on the Co-Dx PCR Pro Platform*
  • Oligonucleotide (Co-Primers) manufacturing facility in India preparing for inauguration in early December 2024 

"We are excited by the progress that Co-Diagnostics has made on the development of our pipeline this year," said Dwight Egan, Co-Diagnostics' Chief Executive Officer.

Our team has been working hard to make our mission a reality, and I am excited to continue to drive our test developments forward throughout the remainder of the year and into next."  

"Co-Diagnostics has made significant progress on our tests, and look forward to providing you with regulatory and commercialization updates as they develop," said Brian Brown, Co-Diagnostics' Chief Financial Officer.

About Co-Diagnostics, Inc.:

Co-Diagnostics, Inc., a Utah corporation, is a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures and markets state-of-the-art diagnostics technologies. The Company's technologies are utilized for tests that are designed using the detection and/or analysis of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release contains adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, income tax (benefit) expense, net interest (income) expense, realized gains on investments, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, gain or loss on disposition of assets, and one-time transaction related costs. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The Company's management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management does not consider the non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of the non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents the non-GAAP financial measure together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of the net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, is included at the end of this release. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "estimates," "intends," "may," "plans," "will" and similar expressions, or the negative of these words. Such forward-looking statements are based on facts and conditions as they exist at the time such statements are made and predictions as to future facts and conditions. Forward-looking statements in this release include statements regarding our advancement of all tests in our pipeline towards completion, regulatory submission and commercialization and our belief that our COVID-19, tuberculosis, multiplex respiratory, and HPV multiplex tests on the Co-Dx PCR platform have the potential to increase access to state-of-the-art PCR diagnostics and to improve the quality of health care around the world. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Readers of this press release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that any of the anticipated results will occur on a timely basis or at all due to certain risks and uncertainties, a discussion of which can be found in our Risk Factors disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 14, 2024, and in our other filings with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement relating to matters discussed in this press release, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
