Nautilus Biotechnology Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SEATTLE, May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nautilus Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAUT; or “Nautilus”), a company pioneering a single molecule proteome analysis platform, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Recent Highlights

  • Announced the three winners of Nautilus’ First Access Challenge, representing a diverse set of investigators and spanning a wide range of areas of study across aging, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. The winners’ samples will be run as part of Nautilus’ Early Access Program.
  • The company was granted 4 new US Patents in the first quarter of 2023, raising Nautilus’ total to 12 granted US Patents.
  • Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $18.1 million, up $2.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022 and $1.8 million above last quarter.

“In Q1 we continued to make steady progress in addressing key scientific and business milestones leading to the planned launch of our platform – instruments, reagents, and software – in mid-2024”, said Sujal Patel, CEO of Nautilus. “A critically important part of that effort is the disciplined and efficient way in which we have – and will continue to – manage our resources to maximize Nautilus’ cash runway through the planned launch, and well into 2025. We are very excited to get our platform into the hands of researchers and to see the impact their work can have on biological research and healthcare.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Operating expenses were $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, a 13% increase from $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in headcount to support ongoing development of our products.

Net loss was $15.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to a net loss of $15.8 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $302.0 million as of March 31, 2023.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Nautilus’ expectations regarding the company’s business operations, financial performance and results of operations; expectations with respect to any revenue timing or projections, expectations with respect to the timing of the launch of Nautilus’ product platform and full commercial availability, the functionality and performance of Nautilus’ product platform, its potential impact on providing proteome access, pharmaceutical development and drug discovery, expanding research horizons, and enabling scientific explorations and discovery, and the present and future capabilities and limitations of emerging proteomics technologies. These statements are based on numerous assumptions concerning the development of Nautilus’ products, target markets, and other current and emerging proteomics technologies, and involve substantial risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could materially affect the accuracy of Nautilus’ assumptions and its ability to achieve the forward-looking statements set forth in this press release include (without limitation) the following: Nautilus’ product platform is not yet commercially available and remains subject to significant scientific and technical development, which is inherently challenging and difficult to predict, particularly with respect to highly novel and complex products such as those being developed by Nautilus. Even if our development efforts are successful, our product platform will require substantial validation of its functionality and utility in life science research. In the course of Nautilus’ scientific and technical development and associated product validation and commercialization, we may experience material delays as a result of unanticipated events. We cannot provide any guarantee or assurance with respect to the outcome of our development, collaboration, and commercialization initiatives or with respect to their associated timelines. For a more detailed description of additional risks and uncertainties facing Nautilus and its development efforts, investors should refer to the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and our other filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements in this press release are as of the date of this press release. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Nautilus disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements.
