MASS - 908 Devices Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Provides 2023 Revenue Outlook

Full Year 2022 revenue increases 11% compared to prior year with desktop revenue increasing 25%

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, 2022.

“While we are pleased with the progress made against our long-term objectives in 2022, as anticipated, we experienced protracted sales cycles and more conservative capital budgets during the fourth quarter, which will likely persist through the first half of 2023,” said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder. “Despite these near-term headwinds, we started 2023 off strong with the launch of our first ‘on-line’ device for bioprocessing analytics, a companion to our REBEL desktop device. The strength of our product roadmap and the market diversification provided by our handheld devices makes me as confident as ever in the opportunity ahead for real-time analytics at the point-of-need.”

  • Revenue of $46.9 million for the full year 2022, increasing 11% compared to the full year 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $11.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a 27% decline over the prior year period. This was driven by a decrease in product placements for both handheld and desktop devices, primarily related to the timing of a large shipment of MX908 devices to the U.S. Army in the fourth quarter of 2021. The installed base grew to 2,385 devices with 68 devices placed in Q4 2022.

Recurring revenue grew $3.4 million to $5.9 million or 142% over the prior year period. This increase was driven by increases in both accessory and consumable revenues as well as increased service revenue.

Gross profit was $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $9.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 51%, as compared to 58% for the corresponding prior year period. The decline in gross margin was largely due to the lower device shipments during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses were $16.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $12.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by headcount expansion across our business as well as by an increase in stock-based compensation.

Net loss was $9.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $3.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.31 for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss per share of $0.12 for the corresponding prior year period.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $46.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a 11% increase over the prior year period. Recurring revenue grew $7.9 million to $15.7 million, increasing 101% over the prior year period. This was driven by increases in both accessory and consumable revenues as well as by an increase in service revenue.

Gross profit was $26.0 million for 2022, compared to $23.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin was 56% compared to 55% for the corresponding prior year period.
