LONDON, May 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LumiraDx Limited (NASDAQ: LMDX), a next-generation point of care (POC) diagnostics company, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
- First quarter 2023 revenues of $22.2 million.
- Cost reduction programs implemented across the global organization resulting in declining operating losses.
- US Clinical Studies for first 510K submission completed.
- More than 100 customers in the first full launch quarter for the world’s first quantitative finger stick NT-proBNP assay.
Ron Zwanziger, Chairman and CEO of LumiraDx, stated, "Our transition to non-COVID is beginning to develop, especially with the commercial launches of HbA1c and NT-proBNP on our Platform. Customer response continues to be positive, and we are collaborating with our key customers on use cases where our Platform can change clinical pathways and enable better patient outcomes. Developing new use cases with customers takes time and we are beginning to see initial positive responses developing, partly enabled by our menu of tests expanding. Again, bringing together multiple assays on a single, easy to use instrument with laboratory equivalent performance and a low cost of ownership is enabling a transformation in community-based care."
2023 First Quarter Financial Highlights
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, LumiraDx delivered revenue of $22.2 million, compared to $126.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the final quarter of pandemic-related COVID revenues from the Omicron variant.
COVID antigen test revenues for the first quarter were $10.6 million, while our Fast Labs COVID revenues were $4.3 million in the quarter. Non-COVID specific revenues in the first quarter of 2023 were $7.3 million, or 33% of total revenues, including $2.9 million of LumiraDx technology revenues and $4.4 million of distribution revenues.
IFRS gross profit was a loss of $1.8 million for the quarter. Total adjusted gross profit was $0.5 million.
Research and development expenses were $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. Non-IFRS adjusted research and development expenses were $14.8 million in the quarter, compared to $16.8 million in the prior quarter.
Sales, marketing and administrative expenses were $26.0 million in the first quarter. Non-IFRS adjusted sales, marketing and administrative expenses were $19.0 million in the quarter, compared to $22.3 million in the prior quarter.
The reductions in operating expenses reflect the majority of the benefit of the company’s 2022 restructuring activities, but they do not yet reflect the additional restructuring announced by the company in April of this year. Additional restructuring activities are expected to reduce our global workforce by 40% with expense reductions of $36 million per annum with the full impact from June 2023 onward.
Net loss for the quarter was $44.1 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share. The Non-IFRS adjusted net loss for the quarter was $41.1 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share. At March 31, 2023, the company’s cash balance was $68.1 million.

These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, among others, general economic, political and business conditions; changes in interest rates, inflation rates and global and domestic market conditions; the effect of COVID-19 on LumiraDx's business and financial results; obtaining or maintaining regulatory approval, authorization or clearance for our tests; and those factors discussed under the header "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 1, 2023, and in other filings that we make with the SEC.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures
We present non-IFRS financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-IFRS financial measures depict the true performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and controllable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-IFRS financial measures and margins are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be considered as alternatives to operating loss, gross margin or net income (loss) or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles.
We define non-IFRS operating loss and non-IFRS net loss as operating loss and net loss, respectively, excluding depreciation, amortization, share-based payments, IFRS 2 listing expense, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange (gain)/loss, restructuring and severance payments and non-cash interest. We define non-IFRS expenses as expenses excluding depreciation, amortization, restructuring and severance payments and share-based payments. We recommend that you review the reconciliation of the non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure provided in the financial statement tables included below, and that you not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
