“We reached several significant milestones including launching Cue Pharmacy, Cue Lab, and receiving authorization for the Cue Mpox test, our second FDA authorization,” said Ayub Khattak, Chairman and CEO of Cue Health. “We have four Cue tests submitted to the FDA, including for RSV and a Flu + COVID combo test. We are executing our strategic plan including expanding the menu on the Cue Health Monitoring System as well as expanding the offering for the Cue Integrated Care Platform. We have cut our annualized costs by an expected $150 million to weather the macroeconomic climate as we make significant progress on our plan.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue was $24.8 million for the first quarter of 2023. Private sector revenue was $24.2 million or 98% of total revenue with strong ordering from existing customers. Public sector revenue was $0.6 million and disposable test cartridge revenue was $22.4 million.

GAAP product gross profit margin was a loss of 63% in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted product gross profit margin was a loss of 14% excluding a disputed payment charge impacting cost of product revenue.

GAAP operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were $80.8 million, excluding cost of revenue, including $7.9 million of restructuring expense related to the implementation of the cost reduction plan. On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of the restructuring expense, operating expenses were $72.9 million or a 23% decrease compared to $94.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2023 was $94.2 million and earnings per diluted share was a loss of $0.62. Cue's adjusted net loss was $74.3 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share was a loss of $0.48. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $47.6 million.

Cash and cash equivalents were $178.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and the company continues to operate with no debt obligations.

Guidance

Cue Health expects second quarter 2023 revenues in the range of $8 million to $10 million reflecting an expected shift to a seasonal respiratory pattern for COVID testing volumes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we consider certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted Product Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net (loss) Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA (loss). We use these financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our business and financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring expense, disputed vendor payment.

Adjusted product gross profit (loss) is defined as product gross profit (loss), before disputed vendor payment.

Adjusted net (loss) income is defined as Net (loss) income, before disputed vendor payment, restructuring expense and tax effects.

Adjusted diluted EPS is defined as Diluted EPS before disputed vendor payment, restructuring expense and tax effects.

Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Further, these metrics have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. Thus, these non-GAAP metrics should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures see the financial tables below.
