Seer Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Launched Proteograph XT Assay Kit, enabling rapid proteomics and large-scale studies

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. August 8, 2023 – Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), a life sciences company commercializing a disruptive new platform for proteomics, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Recent Highlights
•Achieved revenue of $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 11% over the prior year period
•Launched the Proteograph XT Assay Kit, enabling rapid proteomics across a range of sample types and species with unprecedented resolution and more than doubling the throughput without compromising performance
•Introduced the Seer Technology Access Center, or STAC, providing mass spec services and end-to-end solutions for customers seeking access to deep, unbiased proteomics insights
•Expanded collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific to develop and optimize proteomics and proteogenomics workflows and enable population scale studies using the Proteograph XT Assay Kit in combination with the Orbitrap Astral Mass Spectrometer
•Ended the quarter with $396 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments

“While we have faced significant headwinds in the quarter, we continue to firmly believe in the long-term opportunity for our differentiated proteomics technology. We are encouraged by the strong interest we have received on our recent launches of the Proteograph XT Assay Kit and STAC and by the data we continue to see our customers generating,” said Omid Farokhzad, CEO and President. “Additionally, we are taking actions to lower barriers to adoption and navigate headwinds. We are focused on laying the foundation for long-term growth and I continue to be bullish about our present and future opportunities.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an 11% increase from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of consumable kits related to the Proteograph Product Suite. Product-related revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $3.0 million, including $1.4 million of related party revenue, and consisted of sales of SP100 instruments, consumable kits and platform evaluations. Service revenue was $467 thousand and grant and other revenue was $538 thousand. 

Gross profit, inclusive of grant and other revenue, was $2.3 million and gross margin was 57% for the second quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses were $30.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, including $9.8 million of stock-based compensation, an increase of 21%, as compared to $25.0 million, including $8.4 million of stock-based compensation, for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in expenses was driven by increased employee compensation and

other related expenses, including stock-based compensation, product development efforts related to the Proteograph Product Suite, and expenses associated with build-out of expansion facilities.

Net loss was $23.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $22.8 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $396 million as of June 30, 2023.

2023 Guidance
Seer now expects full year 2023 revenue to be in the range of $16 million to $18 million, representing growth of 10% at the mid-point of the range over full year 2022. This compares to the prior range of $23 million to $25 million.
