908 Devices Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results and Provides 2024 Revenue Outlook

Fourth quarter 2023 revenue increased 23% compared to prior year, driven by handheld revenue increasing 57%

BOSTON – March 5, 2024 – 908 Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built handheld and desktop devices for chemical and biochemical analysis, today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

"We made solid progress in 2023 towards our objectives. We have continued to see sustained growth of our handheld devices servicing customers in their efforts to combat the ongoing crisis of counterfeit drugs and opioids. For the full year we saw 28% growth in our handheld revenue and consistent year-over-year growth each quarter. Despite near-term headwinds impacting the life science instrumentation and bioprocessing industries, we launched two additional desktop devices in the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) space, positioning us for accelerated growth as conditions improve," said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder. "We remain focused on expanding our market presence, extending our global reach, leveraging our expanded product portfolios, and overall efficient execution and cash management as we march towards scale and profitability."

Recent Highlights

Revenue of $14.4 million for the fourth quarter 2023, increasing 23% compared to the fourth quarter 2022

Revenue of $50.2 million for the full year 2023, increasing 7% compared to the full year 2022

Handheld revenue increased 28% compared to full year 2022

Recurring revenue represented 33% of product and service revenues

Ended 2023 with $145.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, consuming $28 million in 2023 and an additional $15 million to pay off remaining debt

Expanded international presence with MX908 handheld devices placed in 56 countries as of December 31, 2023, an additional 11 countries from December 31, 2022

Announced a collaboration with Cellares, an integrated development and manufacturing company, to adapt our MAVERICK in-line bioprocess analyzer to be compatible with Cellares’ Cell Shuttle system for large-scale cell therapy manufacturing

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $14.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, a 23% increase over the prior year period. This was primarily driven by an increase in handheld devices revenue. The installed base grew to 2,853 devices with 139 devices placed during the fourth quarter 2023. Recurring revenue represented 33% of total revenues in the quarter.

Gross profit was $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $5.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 51% as compared to 51% for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expenses were $17.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $16.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by stock-based compensation and an increase in commission expenses related to handheld revenues, offset in part by a reduction in general operating costs.

Net loss was $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, narrowing from $9.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.23 for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss per share of $0.31 for the corresponding prior year period.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $50.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a 7% increase over the prior year period. This was primarily driven by a $8.3 million increase in handheld revenues, offset by a $3.0 million decrease in desktop revenues and a $2.0 million decrease in contract revenues.

Gross profit was $25.3 million for 2023, compared to $26.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 50% as compared to 56% for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expenses were $68.1 million for 2023, compared to $61.4 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Net loss was $36.4 million for 2023, compared to $33.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $1.13 for 2023, compared to a net loss per share of $1.07 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $145.7 million as of December 31, 2023 with no debt outstanding.

2024 Guidance

908 Devices expects full year 2024 revenue to be in the range of $52.0 million to $54.0 million, representing 4% to 8% growth over full year 2023.
