HTG Molecular Diagnostics Announces Preliminary 2019 Unaudited Financial Results
Preliminary full year 2019 unaudited revenue of $19.2 million
Cash and cash equivalents of $33.0 million as of December 31, 2019
TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HTG Molecular Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HTGM) (HTG), a life science company whose mission is to advance precision medicine, today announced preliminary, unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Total revenue for the full year 2019 is expected to be approximately $19.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents are expected to be approximately $33.0 million, with an additional $3.3 million of restricted cash held in connection with a convertible note that will be included in the company’s current liabilities, as of December 31, 2019.
“Our performance for 2019 reflects both the continued growth of our RUO profiling business and the impact of lower collaborative development services program activities,” said John Lubniewski, CEO of HTG. “We are optimistic about the continuing opportunities in profiling and collaborative development services and look forward to building a proprietary molecular diagnostic with an initial, strategic focus on breast cancer diagnostic testing.”
The preliminary results set forth above are unaudited, are based on management’s initial review of the company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are subject to revision based upon the company’s year-end closing procedures and the completion and external audit of the company’s year-end financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from these preliminary unaudited results as a result of the completion of year-end closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments arising between now and the time that company’s financial results are finalized, and such changes could be material. In addition, these preliminary unaudited results are not a comprehensive statement of the company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2019, should not be viewed as a substitute for full, audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and are not necessarily indicative of the company’s results for any future period.
The company expects to announce full 2019 financial results in advance of its quarterly conference call in March 2020.
