Talis Biomedical Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talis Biomedical Corporation (Nasdaq: TLIS), a diagnostic company dedicated to advancing health equity and outcomes through the delivery of accurate infectious disease testing in the moment of need, at the point of care, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“During the third quarter, we made further progress in manufacturing the Talis One™ platform and returned to our original focus on Women’s and Sexual Health, where there remains a large unmet need for infectious disease testing at the point of care. To address these significant opportunities, we are immediately directing our efforts on the pursuit of 510(k) clearances for our highly differentiated platform and the development of multiple assay panels,” said Rob Kelley, chief executive officer at Talis. “With demonstrated manufacturing capabilities to support the development and commercialization of Talis One, plans for an expanded test menu, and a strong cash position we are confident in our pathway to deliver growth and value.”

As previously announced in August, Talis discontinued investment in commercialization in the United States of its stand-alone COVID-19 assay under Emergency Use Authorization based on evolving market dynamics with COVID testing and the current financial environment. This decision allows the company to refocus its resources on large and long-term market opportunities in Women’s and Sexual Health markets in an effort to deliver the greatest competitive advantages, revenue growth and profit margins.

To align resources with this new focus, Talis implemented a 35 percent reduction in force and additional cost-saving measures in the third quarter. The company expects to start realizing the benefit of its restructuring plan in the fourth quarter of 2022. These actions, along with reduced spending in manufacturing, inventory, consulting and infrastructure are expected to lower cash burn and fund the company’s operations into 2025.

Talis plans to provide progress updates as they are achieved or available and will not be hosting a conference call to discuss third quarter results. For further detail and discussion of the company’s financial performance, please refer to the company’s upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2021. This includes $0.7 million of product revenue for the third quarter of 2022 driven by antigen testing sales and $0.1 million of grant revenue.

Operating expenses were $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $38.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by declines in research and development expenses from manufacturing scale-up investments that were largely completed.

Net loss was $26.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $38.4 million for the same period in 2021.

Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2022, were $143.8 million.
