STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sema4 Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: SMFR) (“Sema4”), a health insights company, today announced business highlights and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Additionally, Sema4 announced its decision to pursue a new strategic direction focused on a $30 billion market opportunity to generate more complete understanding of complex diseases and how to treat them, fueled by its industry-leading genomic and data platforms. As a result, the company has determined that it will exit the reproductive health testing market, which it expects to complete by the end of the first quarter of 2023. The company believes the competitive advantages and differentiated offerings of its GeneDx and Centrellis platforms will enable the company to scale to profitability. The business moving forward is on a path to provide:
Annual revenue growth in excess of 20% over the next several years An adjusted gross margin profile in excess of 50% in the near-term A turn to profitability in 2025 The foundation for this growth is strengthened by the GeneDx exome and whole genome sequencing and interpretation services and the Centrellis data platform. The company will be focused on delivering personalized, actionable health insights that help clinicians, researchers, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, and payors improve the patient experience and advance population health. Sema4 will enhance the healthcare experience and improve patients’ quality of life for generations by sequencing once and analyzing for a lifetime.
“As we look ahead, I am excited by the performance of the business representing our future. Our pediatric and rare disease franchise is setting new internal records, generating over 50% revenue growth in the third quarter and delivering over 40% in adjusted gross margin,” said Katherine Stueland , President and CEO of Sema4. “We believe that our focused commercial and R&D efforts provide the right foundation for us to target higher growth areas of the genomics market and optimize our data and health insights go-to-market strategy. We expect the combination of these efforts will help us grow revenue in excess of 20% over the next several years. We also expect the actions we have undertaken will enable us to more than double our run rate gross margin profile exiting the third quarter and reduce our annual cash burn by greater than 50% in 2023.”
Business Highlights
Signed 2 data partnerships with biopharma companies utilizing the company’s proprietary clinical and genomic database Announced partnership in the recently launched GUARDIAN genomic newborn screening study, the largest of its kind in North America, to improve population health by identifying more than 250 preventable and treatable conditions, many of which are not covered today by standard newborn screening Announced results from Phase 1 of SeqFirst Study, demonstrating broad utility of rapid whole genome sequencing for critically ill newborns Presented research on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at the Child Neurology Society (CNS) annual meeting, underscoring the positive outcomes of exome analysis for individuals with ASD Announced an exit from reproductive health testing, including closing down its Stamford, CT laboratory and a reduction in force of approximately 500 employees. Customers will be notified that the company is accepting samples through December 14, 2022 Combining its prior year-to-date restructuring efforts and the exit from its reproductive health testing business announced today, the company expects total headcount of 1,100 compared to approximately 1,700 exiting the third quarter of 2022 Appointed industry veteran, Kevin Feeley, as Chief Financial Officer Third Quarter & Recent Highlights
“We are pleased with our third quarter results, especially the volume growth and gross margins in our GeneDx pediatrics and rare disease business. We have seen consistent double-digit volume growth in this business throughout this year and efforts across revenue cycle management and menu optimization have helped drive favorable pricing trends in key areas of focus. Efforts implemented by our commercial team late last year are driving results,” continued Ms. Stueland. “Additionally, with the exit of our reproductive health businesses, we are very excited to enter the next chapter at Sema4 enabled by Centrellis as a health intelligence platform fueled by GeneDx’s genomic services and clinical data.”
