"During the third quarter, the T2 Biosystems team generated a quarterly record of $2.4 million of sepsis and related product revenue. We are very excited by the progress with our near-term product pipeline, including the T2Biothreat, T2Resistance, T2Lyme, and expanded T2Bacteria panels.

"To close the year, we will remain focused on our three corporate priorities, accelerating our sales, enhancing our operations, and advancing our pipeline to support long term growth and sustained value creation."

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.7 million, including product revenue of $2.6 million, representing decreases of 50% and 39% respectively, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by an 88% decline in sales of COVID-19 tests from $2.4 million and reduced BARDA revenue offset by increased sepsis test sales. Research contribution revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.0 million, a decrease of 67% compared to the prior year period primarily due to extensions required to increase enrollment in the T2Resistance trial.

Research and development expenses were $6.4 million, flat compared to the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million compared to the prior year period driven by reduced medical affairs expenses.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $17.4 million, $2.95 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.0 million, $4.21 per share, in the prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $21.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and cash provided by the ATM was $22.9 million.

2022 Financial Outlook

The Company expects full year 2022 total revenue of $22.0 to $23.0 million, including product revenue of $11.5 to $12.0 million and research contribution revenue of $10.5 to $11.0 million. The Company expects to close 50 to 55 T2Dx Instrument contracts in 2022.
