908 Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built handheld and desktop mass spec devices for chemical and biomolecular analysis, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“We had a strong start to the year with revenue growing 50% over the prior year period. We made tangible progress against our goals as we continued to enable our customers with rapid chemical and biochemical analysis when and where they need it,” said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder. “From global biopharma sites to prominent local events in our communities, like the Boston Marathon, our devices are being used to provide actionable insights.”

Recent Highlights

  • Expanded installed base to 2,018 devices with 83 devices placed during the first quarter
  • Released updates to our MX908 handheld device, including additional drug targets, Bluetooth capability for iOS devices and technical interface spec for robots, drones, and other third-party systems
  • Partnered with UK-based CPI biologics center on cell culture media optimization for bioprocessing applications

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a 50% increase over the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by product revenue from an increase in both handheld and desktop devices. Desktop revenue grew 68% year over year because of both increased device sales and increased recurring revenue.

The installed base grew to 2,018 placements with 83 devices placed in Q1 2022.

Gross profit was $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 50%, as compared to 52% for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was expected based upon the investments in personnel and expenses in calendar year 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, offset in part by the increase in device sales and the volume leverage.

Operating expenses were $13.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $8.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by headcount expansion across our business, an increase in stock-based compensation and an increase in marketing activities and travel expenses.

Net loss was $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.30 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss per share of $0.22 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents were $223 million as of March 31, 2021. In addition, the Company has approximately $15 million of debt outstanding.

2022 Guidance

908 Devices continues to expect full year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $52 million to $55 million, representing 23% to 30% growth over full year 2021.
