"I'm very excited about the strategic progress we have made at Ginkgo, highlighted by the four acquisitions we completed in October, and I'm thrilled to welcome our new team members. I believe these additions will meaningfully strengthen our platform and services," said Jason Kelly , co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo. "Our team worked extremely hard to close both the Zymergen and Bayer transactions efficiently, with the Zymergen transaction in particular closing well in advance of our initial expectations. The faster Zymergen closing timeline provides us with significant strategic benefits, including a higher acquired cash balance and the ability to immediately focus Zymergen's outstanding team and assets on Ginkgo's core service offering. Successful M&A execution illustrates our ability to take advantage of opportunities catalyzed by the current market environment, while our strong standalone cash balance of over $1.3 billion at the end of the third quarter continues to afford us substantial flexibility."

 

  Recent Business Highlights & Strategic Positioning

  •  
  • Added 15 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in Q3 2022, representing 50% growth over the comparable prior year period
  •  
    • Continued traction in pharma and biotech, including a collaboration with Merck to engineer enzymes for use as biocatalysts in Merck's active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing efforts
    •  
  • Concentric by Ginkgo, Ginkgo's biosecurity and public health offering, executed well in Q3 2022, generating $42 million in Biosecurity revenue
  •  
    • Expanded internationally, including Memoranda of Understanding with the Rwanda Development Board and the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia  
    •  
    • Added enhanced analytic modules, including epidemiological tracking, modeling, and forecasting capabilities, and announced computational tools to detect engineered biology in collaboration with the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA)
    •  
    • Continuing to pilot new modalities and offerings, including passive monitoring of wastewater and air
    •  
  • Completed acquisitions of Zymergen and Bayer's West Sacramento Biologics Research & Development site in October
  •  
    • The swift closing of the Zymergen transaction delivers more cash at close and enables Ginkgo to commence integration activities and pursue new growth opportunities faster than originally anticipated
    •  
  • Also in October, acquired Altar, which has developed a robust adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) platform, and Circularis, a proprietary circular RNA and promoter screening platform
  •  

  Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights  

 
  • Third quarter 2022 Total revenue of $66 million , down from $78 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 14%
  •  
    • Third quarter 2022 Foundry revenue of $25 million , down from $35 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 29%. Third quarter 2022 Foundry revenue did not include any large milestone payments, while the third quarter 2021 Foundry revenue included downstream value share revenue related to an equity milestone achievement by Cronos Group Inc.
    •  
    • Third quarter 2022 Biosecurity revenue of $42 million , down from $43 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 3%. Third quarter 2022 Biosecurity gross profit margin of 41%
    •  
  • Third quarter 2022 Loss from operations of $(653) million (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of $563 million ), compared to Loss from operations of $(27) million in the comparable prior year period. The stock-based compensation expense primarily relates to the continued GAAP accounting for the modification of restricted stock units issued prior to becoming a public company, as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022  
  •  
  • Third quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $(70) million , down from $(18) million in the comparable prior year period
  •  
  • Cash and cash equivalents balance as of the end of the third quarter of over $1.3 billion puts Ginkgo in a strong financial position to pursue its strategic objectives
  •  

  Full Year 2022 Guidance  

 
  • Ginkgo expects to add 55-60 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in 2022
  •  
  • Ginkgo further revised its expectation for Total revenue from $425 $440 million to $460 $480 million in 2022
  •  
  • Ginkgo revised its expectation for Foundry revenue to $150 $170 million in 2022, which reflects our current assumptions and uncertainty regarding the timing of certain discrete milestone payments
  •  
  • While Biosecurity remains an uncertain business, based on strong year-to-date performance Ginkgo now expects Biosecurity revenue in 2022 of at least $310 million  
  •

  Forward-Looking Statements of Ginkgo Bioworks  

 

This press release, the presentation, and the conference call and webcast contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our plans, strategies, current expectations, operations and anticipated results of operations, both business and financial, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, market trends, or industry results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "can," "project," "potential," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) volatility in the price of Ginkgo's securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Ginkgo operates and plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, and changes in laws and regulations affecting Ginkgo's business, (ii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and to identify and realize additional business opportunities, (iii) the risk of downturns in demand for products using synthetic biology, (iv) the unpredictability of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the demand for COVID-19 testing and the commercial viability of our COVID-19 testing business, (v) changes to the biosecurity industry, including due to advancements in technology, emerging competition and evolution in industry demands, standards and regulations, and (vi) our ability to realize the expected benefits of merger and acquisition transactions. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of Ginkgo's most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and other documents filed by Ginkgo from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Ginkgo assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

  Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures  

 

Certain of the financial measures included in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by the SEC.  Ginkgo has included these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating Ginkgo's financial performance and prospects. Due to the nature and/or size of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of our future operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental to, should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with comparable names used by other companies. See the reconciliation below for additional information regarding certain of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release, including a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the historic measures to Ginkgo's most comparable GAAP financial measures.

QIAGEN to discontinue NeuMoDx integrated PCR testing system, support customers during transition period

QIAGEN to discontinue NeuMoDx integrated PCR testing system, support customers during transition period

 

QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced a decision to discontinue the NeuMoDx 96 and 288 Molecular Systems in light of the market development trends for these product lines following the COVID-19 pandemic and changing customer needs for integrated PCR-based clinical molecular testing systems.

 

This decision will allow QIAGEN to refocus resources and efforts on developing and commercializing other innovative solutions within its portfolio, in particular the QIAstat-Dx system for syndromic testing, the QIAcuity portfolio of digital PCR systems and the QIAGEN Digital Insights (QDI) bioinformatics business. These are complemented by QIAGEN building on proven leadership positions in Sample technologies and the QuantiFERON-TB franchise.

QIAGEN launches digital PCR Assay Design Tool for QIAcuity, expands customization capabilities of its research platform GeneGlobe

QIAGEN launches digital PCR Assay Design Tool for QIAcuity, expands customization capabilities of its research platform GeneGlobe

 

QIAGEN (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today announced the launch of its new digital PCR (dPCR) Custom Assay Design Tool for copy number variation (CNV) analysis for use on its digital PCR platform QIAcuity and several other enhancements in its GeneGlobe Design and Analysis Hub, a comprehensive research platform that integrates pre-designed assays with a database of more than 10,000 biological entities including genes, miRNAs, and pathways. The new advancements aim to support customers with a wide range of assay customization options, from simple to complex and validated multiplex assays, while further improving the user experience.

 

Genetic research is moving fast, and new target genes are rapidly evolving that are not covered by standard or pre-designed assays. To keep pace and close the need gap, the new digital PCR Custom Assay Design Tool has been developed as an interface on the GeneGlobe platform. It enables customers to design and order assays for use on QIAGEN's digital PCR platform QIAcuity outside of QIAGEN's comprehensive catalog of over 200 wet-lab validated assays for copy number variations profiling in translational cancer research. Copy number variations (CNVs) are a type of genetic variation where specific segments of the DNA are copied more or fewer times than normal in the genome, potentially affecting susceptibility to diseases and response to treatment.

Illumina launches latest chemistry across most popular mid-throughput sequencers, enabling higher quality and greater speed for customers at lower cost

Illumina launches latest chemistry across most popular mid-throughput sequencers, enabling higher quality and greater speed for customers at lower cost

 
 

Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, announced that it has completed integration of its latest chemistry, XLEAP-SBS ™ into all reagents for its NextSeq ™ 1000 and NextSeq 2000 next-generation sequencing (NGS) instruments.

 
 

  

 

"We are excited to deliver for our NextSeq 1000/2000 customers improved sequencing with faster run times, better quality, and higher output—all at lower cost per kit," said Jason Johnson , head of Global Product Management at Illumina. "XLEAP-SBS chemistry on NextSeq 1000/2000 will enable labs to perform bigger NGS projects without raising the budget, and facilitate greater adoption of multiomic approaches."

 

In March, the company launched its P4 flow cell (highest output of 540 Gb) with XLEAP-SBS chemistry for the NextSeq 2000, and today it announced that the XLEAP-SBS P1, P2, and P3 flow cells are all now available. XLEAP-SBS chemistry is a faster, higher quality, and more robust sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry that delivers approximately 20% faster turnaround times.

 

Early-access customers have shared positive feedback on improved quality, stability, and run times. Marc Monot , PhD, head of Biomics at the Institut Pasteur, said, "We were very happy with the quantity and quality of the reads. The Q is very close to Q40 and the stability is a game changer for Illumina. From the first base to the last base, [Illumina] improved the quality of the run quite a lot."

 

The NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Systems are flexible and scalable mid-throughout sequencers that enable a range of applications, including single-cell, whole-exome, and RNA sequencing.
