Quarter 2020 Financial Results & Announces New Product Offering
TUCSON, Ariz., August 6, 2020 -- Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc.
(Nasdaq: AXDX) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
"While the progress of new contracts and go-lives continued
to be slowed by the effects of the pandemic, utilization within our existing base of live Pheno instruments continued to prove
durable during the second quarter," commented Jack Phillips, President and CEO of Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. "Despite
these external disruptions, our internal R&D teams have made considerable progress, enabling today's announcement of
several new products as part of our enhanced portfolio strategy. These include the immediate launch of an AST-only test kit and
the imminent launch of a new workflow instrument, the PhenoPrep, the first application of which is enabling automated rapid MALDI
identification results. We also entered into an exclusive supply and collaboration arrangement with Ascend Diagnostics to commercialize
a complementary desktop MALDI instrument. We are excited about these new additions to our product portfolio and believe they will
help position Accelerate for sustained success and more rapid adoption of our technology as the market continues to recover from
the unprecedented impacts of COVID-19."
