“Olink enters 2023 with considerable business momentum across its entire customer base, and will continue to operate with science-driven thinking, customer-focused product innovation, and strong commercial execution,” said Jon Heimer, CEO of Olink. “Olink exited 2022 with record-setting Explore installations and strong Signature placements, as well as robust revenue growth. We anticipate 2023 will be another year of market-leading innovation and strong growth as we make further progress in developing the nascent and promising field of modern proteomics.”
Fourth quarter and full year financial results
“Our robust performance and strong financial profile are enabled by focused investment and disciplined spending into areas with significant opportunities to provide a strong return for Olink,” said Oskar Hjelm, CFO of Olink. "We are executing on our strategy to maximize the substantial commercial opportunity in proteomics and return to profitability, providing an excellent platform for long-term revenue and profit growth.”
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $57.9 million, as compared to $43.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, which represents reported growth of 33%, driven primarily by the strength in Explore. Reported full year 2022 revenue grew 47% to $139.8 million, as compared to $95.0 million for 2021.
Kits revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 grew 100% to $30.6 million, or 53% of total revenue, as compared to $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, or 35% of total revenue, driven by strength in Explore, as well as Target. Full year 2022 kits revenue grew 106%, totaling $55.1 million, versus $26.8 million during 2021.
Analysis services revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $23.4 million, as compared to $23.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, in line with Olink’s goal of driving product mix toward kits. Year-over-year analysis services revenue declined 1% in the fourth quarter on a reported basis, but grew approximately 30% when adjusting for completion of the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP). Full year 2022 analysis service revenue totaled $73.0 million, versus $60.2 million for 2021, representing 21% growth.
Other revenue was $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 other revenue totaled $11.7 million, versus $8.0 million for 2021.
By geography, revenue during the fourth quarter of 2022 was $31.9 million in North America, $20.0 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $6.0 million in China and RoW (including Japan). Year-over-year revenue in EMEA (including Sweden) decreased 1% in the fourth quarter on a reported basis, and grew approximately 39% when adjusting for completion of the UKB-PPP. By geography, revenue during the full year 2022 was $66.5 million in North America, $57.7 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $15.6 million in China and RoW (including Japan).
Net income was $5.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and adjusted EBITDA was $14.9 million, as compared to a net loss of ($8.0) million and adjusted EBITDA of ($1.4) million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 net loss was ($12.9) million and adjusted EBITDA was ($3.9) million, versus a net loss of ($38.3) million and adjusted EBITDA of ($18.5) million for 2021.
Consolidated gross profit was $43.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $25.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 gross profit totaled $94.5 million, versus $58.2 million for 2021. Consolidated adjusted gross profit was $44.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 adjusted gross profit totaled $97.9 million, versus $61.3 million for 2021.

Full year 2022 adjusted gross profit margin for kits was 88.4%, versus 86.4% for 2021; and full year 2022 reported gross profit margin for kits was 87.1%, versus 84.7% for 2021.
Adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 66.9% for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to 50.2% for the fourth quarter of 2021; and reported gross profit margin for analysis services was 64.1% for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to 45.9% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in analysis services margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 was related to the completion of the UKB-PPP earlier in the year as well as improved operational efficiency in the labs. Full year 2022 adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 60.1%, versus 57.3% for 2021; and full year 2022 reported gross profit margin for analysis services was 56.5%, versus 53.0% for 2021.

Full year 2022 total operating expenses were $125.1 million, as compared to $102.9 million for 2021. The increase in full year 2022 was largely due to continued investment in Olink's commercial organization and research and development and driven by additional costs as a public company as well.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $5.4 million, as compared to a net loss of ($8.0) million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Full year 2022 net loss totaled ($12.9) million, as compared to ($38.3) million for 2021.

Full year 2022 net loss per share totaled ($0.11), versus ($0.43) per share in 2021.
2023 guidance
Olink expects 2023 full year reported revenue to be in the range of $192 million to $200 million, representing growth of approximately 37% to 43% on a reported basis, and growth of approximately 38% to 44% on a constant currency basis.
The Company also expects revenues in 2023 will continue to progress along a seasonal pattern that is weighted toward the second half of the year, and fourth quarter specifically. In addition, Olink believes with continued growth and scale up, it will return to profitability in 2023, as measured by EBITDA excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Webcast and conference call details
Company management will host a conference call to discuss financial results at 8:00 am ET. Investors interested in listening to the conference call are required to register online here. A live webcast will be available in the “Events” section of the Company's website at https://investors.olink.com/investor-relations. The webcast will be archived and available for replay for at least 90 days after the event.
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.
We are not able to forecast constant currency revenue on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting foreign currency exchange rates and, as a result, are unable to provide a reconciliation to forecasted constant currency revenue.

Reconciliation of constant currency revenue growth to revenue growth as reported under IFRS, the most directly comparable IFRS measure (unaudited):
We use the non-IFRS measure of constant currency growth, which we define as our total revenue growth from one fiscal year to the next on a constant currency exchange rate basis. We measure our constant currency revenue growth by applying the current fiscal period’s average exchange rate to the prior year fiscal period.

Non-IFRS reconciliations 19 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. We are not able to forecast constant currency revenue on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting foreign currency exchange rates and, as a result, are unable to provide a reconciliation to forecasted constant currency revenue.
