“Yet again, SOPHiA GENETICS delivered another steadfast quarter and we are continuing to grow and steadily expand our current base of business across the world despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges.” said Jurgi Camblong, PhD., Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, SOPHiA GENETICS. “The combination of our differentiated technology, robust commercial traction, focused operational discipline, and world-class global team continues to drive steady growth and demonstrates that we are well-positioned to thrive under the economic scenarios that may lie ahead.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $11.6 million compared to $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing year-over-year growth of 12%. Constant currency revenue growth was 33%, and constant currency revenue growth excluding COVID-19-related revenue was 40%.

Platform analysis volumes remained relatively flat at 61,935 analyses for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 61,920 analyses for the third quarter of 2021. The flat year-over-year growth was attributable to growth in our core platform analysis volume offset by the continued decline of our COVID-19-related analysis volume. Excluding COVID-related volumes, platform analyses grew 11% year-over-year.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $7.3 million compared to gross profit of $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, representing year-over-year growth of 11%. Gross margin was 63% for the third quarter of 2022 compared with 63% for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted gross margin was 65% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 65% for the third quarter of 2021.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $30.9 million compared to $27.0 million for the third quarter of 2021.

R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $10.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $7.9 million compared to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2021.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $12.8 million dollars compared to $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $23.6 million, compared to $20.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $19.3 million, compared to $17.0 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $23.3 million or $0.36 per share compared to $21.2 million or $0.35 per share in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $19.0 million or $0.30 per share, compared to $18.0 million or $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2021.

2022 Outlook

We are reaffirming our previously provided guidance of constant currency revenue growth range of 30% to 35% for full-year 2022. Based on our latest view of the impact of movements in the foreign exchange rates between our key transactional currencies, including the euro, the Swiss franc, the British pound, and the Turkish lira, and the U.S. dollar, we now expect full-year 2022 reported revenue to be at the low-end of our previously provided range of $47.0 million to $49.5 million.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this earnings release the following non-IFRS measures:

  • Adjusted cost of revenue, which we calculate as cost of revenue adjusted to exclude amortization of capitalized research and development expenses;
  • Adjusted gross profit, which we calculate as revenue minus adjusted cost of revenue;
  • Adjusted gross profit margin, which we calculate as adjusted gross profit as a percentage of revenue;
  • Adjusted operating loss, which we calculate as operating loss adjusted to exclude those adjustments made to calculate adjusted cost of revenue, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, non-cash portion of pensions expense paid in excess of actual contributions to match the actuarial expense, and IPO-related expenses;
  • Adjusted finance expense, which we calculate as finance expense adjusted to exclude the impact from changes in the fair valuation of the derivative related to the success fee owed to TriplePoint Capital LLC upon the completion of our initial public offering;
  • Adjusted net loss for the period, which we calculate as loss for the period adjusted to exclude those adjustments made to calculate adjusted cost of revenue, adjusted operating loss, and adjusted finance expense; and
  • Adjusted net loss per share, which we calculate as adjusted net loss divided by the weighted-average number of shares.

These non-IFRS measures are key measures used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance and generate future operating plans. The exclusion of certain expenses facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses and certain variable charges. Accordingly, we believe that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

These non-IFRS measures have limitations as financial measures, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:

  • These non-IFRS measures exclude the impact of amortization of capitalized research and development expenses and intangible assets. Although amortization is a non-cash charge, the assets being amortized may need to be replaced in the future and these non-IFRS measures do not reflect capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures;
  • These non-IFRS measures exclude the impact of share-based compensation expenses. Share-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
  • These non-IFRS measures exclude the impact of the non-cash portion of pensions paid in excess of actual contributions to match actuarial expenses. Pension expenses have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a recurring expense in our business;
  • These non-IFRS measures exclude the impact of expenses related to our IPO, which are cash expenditures, and we expect to incur financing expenses from time to time;
  • These non-IFRS measures exclude the impact of changes in fair value of the derivative associated with the fee paid to TriplePoint Capital LLC in connection with the completion of our IPO; and
  • Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, you should consider these non-IFRS measures alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and our other IFRS results.

The tables below provide the reconciliation of the most comparable IFRS measures to the non-IFRS measures for the periods presented.

Presentation of Constant Currency Revenue and Excluding COVID-19-Related Revenue

We operate internationally, and our revenues are generated primarily in the U.S. dollar, the euro and Swiss franc and, to a lesser extent, British pound, Australian dollar, Brazilian real, Turkish lira and Canadian dollar depending on our customers’ geographic locations. Changes in revenue include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We present the non-IFRS financial measure “constant currency revenue” (or similar terms such as constant currency revenue growth) to show changes in our revenue without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under IFRS, revenues received in local (non-U.S. dollar) currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rate for the month in which the transaction occurred. When we use the term “constant currency”, it means that we have translated local currency revenues for the current reporting period into U.S. dollars using the same average foreign currency exchange rates for the conversion of revenues into U.S. dollars that we used to translate local currency revenues for the comparable reporting period of the prior year. We then calculate the difference between the IFRS revenue and the constant currency revenue to yield the “constant currency impact” for the current period.

Our management and board of directors use constant currency revenue growth to evaluate our growth and generate future operating plans. The exclusion of the impact of exchange rate fluctuations provides comparability across reporting periods and reflects the effects of our customer acquisition efforts and land-and-expand strategy. Accordingly, we believe that this non-IFRS measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth in the same manner as our management and board of directors. However, this non-IFRS measure has limitations, particularly as the exchange rate effects that are eliminated could constitute a significant element of our revenue and could significantly impact our performance and prospects. Because of these limitations, you should consider this non-IFRS measure alongside other financial performance measures, including revenue and revenue growth presented in accordance with IFRS and our other IFRS results.

In addition to constant currency revenue, we present constant currency revenue excluding COVID-19-related revenue to further remove the effects of revenues that we derived from sales of COVID-19-related offerings, including a NGS assay for COVID-19 that leverages our SOPHiA DDMTM Platform and related products and solutions analytical capabilities and COVID-19 bundled access products. We do not believe that these revenues reflect our core business of commercializing our platform because our COVID-19 solution was offered to address specific market demand by our customers for analytical capabilities to assist with their testing operations. We do not anticipate additional development of our COVID-19-related solution as the pandemic transitions into a more endemic phase and as customer demand continues to decline. Further, COVID-19-related revenues did not constitute, and we do not expect COVID-19-related revenues to constitute in the future, a significant part our revenue. Accordingly, we believe that this non-IFRS measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth. However, this non-IFRS measure has limitations, including that COVID-19-related revenues contributed to our cash position, and other companies may define COVID-19-related revenues differently. Because of these limitations, you should consider this non-IFRS measure alongside other financial performance measures, including revenue and revenue growth presented in accordance with IFRS and our other IFRS results.

The table below provides the reconciliation of the most comparable IFRS growth measures to the non-IFRS growth measures for the current period.

Notes to the Reconciliation of IFRS to Adjusted Financial Measures Tables

(1) Amortization of capitalized research and development expenses consists of software development costs amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated life of five years. These expenses do not have a cash impact but remain a recurring expense generated over the course of our research and development initiatives.

(2) Amortization of intangible assets consists of costs related to intangible assets amortized over the course of their useful lives. These expenses do not have a cash impact, but we could continue to generate such expenses through future capital investments.

(3) Share-based compensation expense represents the cost of equity awards issued to our directors, officers, and employees. The fair value of awards is computed at the time the award is granted and is recognized over the vesting period of the award by a charge to the income statement and a corresponding increase in other reserves within equity. These expenses do not have a cash impact but remain a recurring expense for our business and represent an important part of our overall compensation strategy.

(4) Non-cash pension expense consists of the amount recognized in excess of actual contributions made to our defined pension plans to match actuarial expenses calculated for IFRS purposes. The difference represents a non-cash expense, but pensions remain a recurring expense for our business as we continue to make contributions to our plans for the foreseeable future.

(5) Non-recurring IPO-related expenses represent expenses incurred for our initial public offering that were not capitalized and are not expected to be recurring during the ordinary course of our business.
