  • Net loss of $6.0 million, compared to net loss of $1.4 million in the prior year second quarter, representing a loss of $0.20 per fully diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.04 per fully diluted share in the prior year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.5 million
  • Repurchased 149,041 shares of common stock at an average price of $1.12 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.2 million

2023 Recent Business Highlights:

  • Continue to expect EUA submission to the FDA for our Co-Dx PCR Pro™ platform and COVID-19 assay before the end of 2023
  • Received additional grant funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in the amount of $9.0M, to be applied towards regulatory and clinical validation activities for our tuberculosis test and additional manufacturing and platform development
  • Appointed Ivory Chang as Chief Regulatory Affairs Officer, who previously worked at multiple large, renowned diagnostic companies, and brings many years of experience in in-vitro diagnostic product and point-of-care regulatory submissions to Co-Diagnostics 
  • Participated in several investor conferences, trade shows, and industry events to share Co-Diagnostics' vision for increasing accessibility of PCR diagnostics worldwide, the Company's unique value proposition, and updates on its new platform 

Dwight Egan, Co-Diagnostics' Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to report $2.3 million in grant revenue, bringing our total revenue to approximately $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. We remain excited for the future of Co-Diagnostics and believe that the additional grant funding we recently received further validates the disruptive nature of our platform. The Company expects to finalize an EUA submission to the FDA for the COVID-19 test on our Co-Dx PCR platform by year-end.

*The Co-Dx PCR at-home and point-of-care platform (including the PCR Home™, PCR Pro™, mobile app, and all associated tests) is subject to review by the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies and is not currently available for sale.

About Co-Diagnostics, Inc.:Co-Diagnostics, Inc., a Utah corporation, is a molecular diagnostics company that develops, manufactures and markets state-of-the-art diagnostics technologies. The Company's technologies are utilized for tests that are designed using the detection and/or analysis of nucleic acid molecules (DNA or RNA). The Company also uses its proprietary technology to design specific tests for its Co-Dx PCR at-home and point-of-care platform and to locate genetic markers for use in applications other than infectious disease.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:This press release contains adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, income tax (benefit) expense, net interest (income) expense, stock-based compensation, and one-time transaction related costs. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The Company's management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management does not consider the non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of the non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents the non-GAAP financial measure together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of the net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, is included at the end of this release. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business.

Forward-Looking Statements:This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "estimates," "intends," "may," "plans," "will" and similar expressions, or the negative of these words. Such forward-looking statements are based on facts and conditions as they exist at the time such statements are made and predictions as to future facts and conditions. Forward-looking statements in this release include statements regarding completion of development and FDA submission for approval of the Co-Dx PCR platform by end of this year. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Readers of this press release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that any of the anticipated results will occur on a timely basis or at all due to certain risks and uncertainties, a discussion of which can be found in our Risk Factors disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 16, 2023, and in our other filings with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement relating to matters discussed in this press release, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
