LEXINGTON, Mass., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO) (the “Company”), a leader in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Recent Financial and Commercial Highlights
- Achieved third quarter total revenue of $2.0 million, representing an increase of 34% compared to the prior year period.
- Achieved sepsis test panel revenue of $1.4 million, representing an increase of 34% compared to the prior year period, driven by increased U.S. T2Bacteria® Panel revenue.
- Executed contracts for 11 T2Dx® Instruments during the third quarter, including 1 in the U.S. and 10 internationally.
- Initiated exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Cardinal Health for the commercialization of the T2Biosystems Sepsis product portfolio, expanding access to the U.S. hospital market
- Launched co-marketing collaboration with Prxcision, Inc., for rapid direct-from-blood diagnostics and AI-powered decision support platform to provide hospitals with a solution that is designed to deliver rapid identification of pathogens directly from blood in hours, not days, paired with real-time insights and information to help guide the best possible treatment decisions
Recent Pipeline and Clinical Highlights
- Received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the T2Candida® Panel for pediatric patients.
- Advanced the T2Resistance® Panel toward U.S. FDA 510(k) submission which is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2025.
- Defended successfully against an opposition of a key patent for the Company’s innovative direct-from-blood pathogen detection method filed with the European Patent Office by bioMerieux.
- The article “Changing the Culture of Blood Culture” recently published in The Lancet, a world-leading medical journal, highlighted the weaknesses of blood culture, and the more ideal characteristics of culture-independent diagnostics consistent with the features and benefits provided by the T2Bacteria Panel, the T2Candida Panel, and the T2Resistance Panel.
“In the third quarter T2Biosystems generated strong revenue growth driven by 173% sales growth from the T2Bacteria Panel in the U.S. and 78% growth in international instrument sales,” stated John Sperzel, Chairman and CEO of T2 Biosystems. “We expect to continue achieving stronger growth following several recent commercial, operational and pipeline advancements. The U.S. commercial distribution agreement with Cardinal, collaboration with Prxcision, and FDA clearance for the T2Candida Panel for pediatrics represent immediate opportunities to provide our clinically differentiated, culture-independent, diagnostics to more patients and hospitals.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $2.0 million, an increase of 34% compared to the prior year period. Sepsis test revenue grew 34% compared to the prior year period, led by T2Bacteria®.
Cost of product revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $4.1 million, a 4% increase compared to the prior year period driven by increased international instrument and sepsis test sales. Research and development expenses were $2.7 million, which is comparable to the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.4 million, a 10% decrease compared to the prior year period driven by decreased headcount, offset by increased legal expense.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $10.1 million, $(0.57) per share, compared to the prior year third quarter net loss of $15.4 million, or $(3.45) per share.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.1 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company raised $4.3 million in net proceeds with our ATM during the quarter and $3.2 million since September 30, 2024.
2024 Financial Outlook
