UPPSALA, Sweden, February 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Olink Holding AB (publ) (“Olink”) (Nasdaq: OLK) today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021, and provided revenue guidance for the full year 2022.

 

Highlights

 

·Fourth quarter revenue totaled $43.7 million, representing year over year growth of 61% on a reported basis and 45% on a constant currency adjusted like-for-like basis

 

·Full year 2021 revenue totaled $95.0 million, achieving year over year growth of 76% on a reported basis and 64% on a constant currency adjusted like-for-like basis

 

·Accelerating investment following the IPO, increased the number of employees by almost two-fold to 416 by the end of 2021, including 150 employees in the commercial organization

 

·Cumulative Explore customer installations reached 25 at the end of 2021, compared to 21 at the end of the third quarter

 

·Achieved 28 Signature Q100 placements during the fourth quarter

 

·Explore revenue of $30.1 million accounted for 69% of total fourth quarter revenue, with Explore Kit revenue totaling $12.0 million, or 40% of total Explore revenues

 

·Fourth quarter Kit revenue and analysis services revenue represented 35% and 54% of total revenue, respectively

 

·Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA and net loss was ($1.4) million and ($8.0) million, respectively; with full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA and net loss totaling ($18.5) million and ($38.3) million, respectively

 

·Olink expects full year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $138 million to $145 million, growing 45% - 53%, plans continued strong investment to drive further adoption of its industry-leading proteomics platform, and remains sufficiently capitalized for executing its existing strategic plan

 

“Achieving or surpassing all of Olink's major operational milestones in 2021, our industry-leading execution is proof of the talent and drive of our entire organization,” said Jon Heimer, CEO of Olink Proteomics. “Olink entered the year in an exceptionally strong competitive position; with increased optimism about the proteomics market and high conviction in its leadership position, in 2022 and beyond."

 

Fourth quarter and full year financial results

 

“Olink's fourth quarter performance was tremendous, providing a great opportunity to strategically accelerate investment into the Company,” said Oskar Hjelm, CFO of Olink Proteomics. "We anticipate 2022 will be another year of strong revenue growth, and we remain well capitalized to deliver on our existing strategic plan and return to profitability."

 

Benefitting from rapid adoption of new products, and strong growth across major geographic regions, total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $43.7 million, as compared to $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Fourth quarter revenue growth, totaling 61%, was driven primarily by strong Explore growth. Full year 2021 revenue grew 76% to $95.0 million, as compared to $54.1 million for 2020.

Kits revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 grew 83% to $15.3 million, or 35% of total revenue, as compared to $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, or 31% of total revenue. Drivers of kits revenue included strong Explore pull-through and a rapid expansion of our external kit users. Full year 2021 kits revenue grew 82%, totaling $26.8 million, versus $14.8 million during 2020. The strong Explore Kit revenue growth was enabled by rapid customer adoption of the Explore externalization strategy leading to 25 external kit users and pull through levels of approximately $750,000 for full year 2021.

 

Analysis services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $23.7 million, as compared to $17.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing 37% growth. Full year 2021 analysis service revenue totaled $60.2 million, versus $34.4 million for 2020, representing 75% growth.

 

Other revenue was $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Other revenue growth was driven primarily by the placement of 28 Signature Q100 instruments during the quarter. Full year 2021 other revenue totaled $8.0 million, versus $4.9 million for 2020.

 

By geography, revenue during the fourth quarter of 2021 was $20.2 million in North America, $20.1 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $3.3 million in China and RoW (including Japan). By geography, revenue during the full year 2021 was $42.3 million in North America, $45.4 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $7.2 million in China and RoW (including Japan).

 

Driven primarily by the decision to accelerate investment, adjusted EBITDA was ($1.4) million for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA was ($18.5) million, versus $11.0 million for 2020.

 

Adjusted gross profit was $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $19.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year 2021 adjusted gross profit totaled $61.3 million, versus $38.4 million for 2020.

 

By segment, adjusted gross profit margin for kits was 85% for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to 90% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease in margin in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 was related to year-end adjustments for Target reagent products. Full year 2021 adjusted gross profit margin for kits was 86%, versus 84% for 2020.

 

Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 50% as compared to 68% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decline in analysis services margin was driven primary by the 56,000 samples processed for the UKBB. Olink remains very pleased with the investment into the UKBB project and how it will further research and further cement its position as the leader in proteomics. In addition, analysis services margin was impacted by an increase in personnel costs driven by the increase of Olink's lab capacity. Full year 2021 adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 57%, versus 69% for 2020.

 

Adjusted gross profit margin for Other was 34%, as compared to 23% for the fourth quarter of 2020. Fourth quarter 2021 Other adjusted gross profit margin was impacted by Signature platform sales. Full year 2021 adjusted gross profit margin for Other was 45%, versus 47% for 2020.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $33.1 million, as compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was largely due to continued and accelerated investment in Olink's commercial organization and research and development and driven by additional costs as a public company as well.

 

Full year 2021 total operating expenses were $102.9 million, as compared to $42.0 million for 2020. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was ($8.0) million, as compared to a net profit of $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year 2021 net loss totaled ($38.3) million, as compared to ($6.8) million for 2020.

 

Net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2021 was ($0.07) based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 119,007,062 as compared to a net profit per share of $0.13 in the fourth quarter of 2020 based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 23,190,461. Full year 2021 net loss per share totaled ($0.43), versus ($1.10) per share in 2020.

 

2022 guidance

 

Given the Company's strong competitive position and the growth prospects of the proteomics market, Olink expects full year 2022 revenue will be in the range of $138 million to $145 million, progressing along a seasonal pattern similar to 2021. Olink also expects it will continue to accelerate investment this year to drive growth, and believes it is sufficiently capitalized to deliver on its existing strategic plan and return to profitability.

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 and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage 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.
