LEXINGTON, Mass., May 6, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leader in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing
pathogens, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Entering 2021, we set three corporate priorities: accelerating our sales, improving our operations, and advancing our pipeline. We are very pleased with
our progress during the first quarter, which included 173% total revenue growth, 345% product revenue growth and 85% sepsis test revenue growth, stated John Sperzel, President and CEO of T2 Biosystems. We have rebuilt a clinically
focused U.S. sales team to drive greater adoption of our novel sepsis products and we are strengthening our medical and clinical affairs teams to support our customers. We remain excited about our product pipeline, including the T2Resistance Panel,
and our opportunity to lead the change in the standard of care for the management of patients suspected of sepsis.
First Quarter 2021 Financial
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $7.0 million, an increase of 173% compared to the prior year period. Product revenue for
the first quarter of 2021 was $4.7 million, an increase of 345% compared to the prior year period, driven by increased test panel and instrument sales. Research and contribution revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $2.3 million, an
increase of 54% compared to the prior year period, driven by increased BARDA contract activity.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2021 were
$10.9 million, a decrease of $0.6 million compared to the prior year period, driven by increased BARDA contract research and development activity offset by lower selling, general and administrative headcount.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2021 was $(10.7) million, $(0.07) per share, compared to a net loss of $(14.9) million, $(0.22) per share, in the prior year
Cash, equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash were $43.9 million as of March 31, 2021.
2021 Financial Outlook
