“The strengths of the Olink platform are clearly resonating with customers across all major proteomics use cases, and in all major therapeutic areas from high-plex to low-plex; academia, biopharma, and service providers,” said Jon Heimer, CEO of Olink. “Olink achieved additional major milestones as well, including reaching the 1,000th publication highlighting the use of PEA technology, and the launch of Olink Insight to customers and collaborators globally.”
Third quarter financial results
“Our third quarter benefited from very robust revenue growth, favorable product mix, and strong progress toward key financial objectives, even as foreign exchange headwinds were stronger than anticipated,” said Oskar Hjelm, CFO of Olink. "As we consider Olink’s future, the combination of further disciplined investment into the organization plus our strong growth prospects, should help drive our return to sustained profitability next year, and long-term value creation.”

Third quarter 2022 kits revenue of $13.4 million represented 42% of total revenue, versus 26% in the second quarter. Kits yearly revenue growth of 265% was led by very strong performance from Explore.

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.
