  • Data released by the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) highlights the power of proteomics and the promise of Olink® Explore

  • Explore revenue of $18.5 million accounted for 67% of total second quarter revenue, with Explore Kit revenue totaling $4.4 million, or 24% of total Explore revenue
  • Second quarter kits revenue and analysis services revenue represented 26% and 65% of total revenue, respectively
  • Second quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA was ($7.9) million, with a net loss of ($4.8) million; compared to second quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA of ($6.3) million and net loss of ($10.6) million

“Olink continues to make tremendous strides as the leader in the next-generation proteomics market, broadening the use of our product platform and executing on all aspects of our strategy,” said Jon Heimer, CEO of Olink. “Publication of data incorporating Olink’s PEA technology in both the research and clinical settings continues to accelerate. In particular, the UKB-PPP's release of early results from its pioneering research was a significant landmark for next-generation proteomics and Olink, and our journey to improve human health.”

Second quarter financial results
“Olink’s performance during the second quarter and first half of 2022 was very strong, setting the stage for a robust second half of the year,” said Oskar Hjelm, CFO of Olink. "Our investment into the organization is striking the proper balance of ambitious planning and financial discipline, representing a strong foundation for a return to profitability and exceptional value creation.”

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $27.5 million, as compared to $17.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, growing 56% year over year.

Second quarter 2022 kits revenue of $7.1 million represented 26% of total revenue, increasing from the first quarter of 2022 and performing within our expectations. Kits yearly revenue growth of 42% was led by very strong performance from Target, with solid growth from Explore Kit as well.

Analysis services revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $17.9 million, as compared to $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, representing 51% growth.

Other revenue was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. Other revenue growth was driven primarily by Signature Q100 instruments.

By geography, revenue during the second quarter of 2022 was $12.5 million in Americas, $12.6 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $2.4 million in China and RoW (including Japan).

Adjusted EBITDA was ($7.9) million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to ($6.3) million for the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted gross profit was $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2021; and reported gross profit was $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2021.

By segment, adjusted gross profit margin for kits was 91% for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 90% for the second quarter of 2021; and reported gross profit margin for kits was 89% for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 87% for the second quarter of 2021.

Second quarter 2022 adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 58% as compared to 64% in the second quarter of 2021; and reported gross profit margin for analysis services was 54% as compared to 60% in the second quarter of 2021. The decline in analysis services margin was driven by fulfillment of the UKB-PPP and the continued expansion of Olink’s lab capacity and associated increased personnel costs.

Second quarter 2022 adjusted gross profit margin and reported gross profit margin for Other was 45%; versus second quarter 2021 adjusted gross profit margin and reported gross profit margin of 44% and 43%, respectively.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $31.7 million, as compared to $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was largely due to continued and accelerated investment in Olink's commercial organization, research and development, and costs as a public company.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was ($4.8) million, as compared to a net loss of ($10.6) million for the second quarter of 2021. Net loss per share for the second quarter of 2022 was ($0.04) based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 119,101,120 as compared to a net loss per share of ($0.09) in the second quarter of 2021 based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 119,007,062.

2022 guidance
Olink reiterates its full year 2022 revenue guidance range of $138 million to $145 million and continues to expect revenue will be weighted toward the second half of the year and fourth quarter specifically.

Statement regarding use of non IFRS financial measures
We present certain non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of these non-IFRS measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. We caution readers that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted gross profit margin by segment, and constant currency revenue growth, may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies. Not all companies and Wall Street analysts calculate the non-IFRS measures we use in the same manner. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of these non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Reconciliation of constant currency revenue growth to revenue growth as reported under IFRS, the most directly comparable IFRS measure (unaudited):

We measure our constant currency revenue growth by applying the current fiscal period’s average exchange rate to the prior year fiscal period.
