About this update from Quanterix Corporation

Reports $32.9 million in revenue and $96.9 million of cash and marketable securities Company accelerating initiatives to drive commercial effectiveness Revises financial outlook for 2026 and extends date for attaining cash-flow break-even BILLERICA, Mass., August 10, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Quanterix Corporation (NASDAQ: QTRX), a global leader in precision biomarker science, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. "We made meaningful progress in the second quarter, including strengthening our leadership team and preserving cash better than planned. However, revenue fell short of our expectations, driven by execution challenges and continued market softness. We are taking immediate and significant action to improve commercial performance, including reorganizing our teams and adding seasoned leadership to sharpen accountability, accelerate execution, and improve operating results in the second half and beyond," said Everett Cunningham, President & CEO of Quanterix. "We remain confident in the strength and differentiated positioning of both our research tools and diagnostics businesses, especially with enhanced commercial leadership and discipline enabling a renewed focus on returning to sustained growth. Our capabilities in ultra-sensitive protein-detection in blood and high plex spatial analysis in tissue, combined with a differentiated multi-analyte approach, position us well across targeted translational research and diagnostics. With strategic Diagnostics investments underway, our management team can now focus on achieving key milestones in Alzheimer's disease testing, including completing three clinical utility studies and advancing our FDA roadmap." Second Quarter Financial Highlights Operational and Business Highlights 2026 Business Outlook Quanterix currently expects revenues of $142-148 million, which assumes no underlying improvement in the academic or pharmaceutical end markets, compared to its earlier expectation for annual revenues of $169-174 million. In addition, we expect non-GAAP gross margins in a range of 48-50%, compared to non-GAAP gross margins of 49-53% previously.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict with regard to, among other things, timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the following possibilities with respect to Quanterix's future business, operations, strategy and financial performance: risks related to the impact of changes in U.S. government policies, including impacts of tariffs and reductions in federal research funding; risks associated with the anticipated timing for launch of, and features of, Quanterix's next-generation instruments to upgrade its existing platforms; risks related to Quanterix's ability to improve existing diagnostics and develop new diagnostic tests and tools; risks related to Quanterix's ability to successfully penetrate the diagnostics market; risks related to Quanterix's ability to retain and expand its customer base and achieve sufficient market acceptance of its products; risks related to the ability of Quanterix's contract manufacturers and suppliers to reliably and consistently manufacture and supply our instruments; risks that Quanterix may fail to realize the anticipated benefits from its recent acquisitions of Emission, Inc. and Akoya Biosciences, Inc.; risks that Quanterix's estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing could be incorrect; risks related to Quanterix's ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; and risks related to defects or other quality issues in Quanterix's products that could lead to unforeseen costs, product recalls, adverse regulatory actions, negative publicity and litigation.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operating results and trends. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in our business and our competitors. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our operating performance within our industry and allows comparability with the presentation of other companies in our industry. The non-GAAP financial measures presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA excludes a number of expense items that are included in net loss and adjusted cash usage excludes certain actual cash payments. As a result, positive adjusted EBITDA or positive adjusted cash usage may be achieved even where we record a significant net loss or reduction in our cash and marketable securities balances in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures set forth in the tables captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the section below. Additionally, we make certain forward-looking statements about our future financial performance that include non-GAAP financial measures, which are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertains to events that have not yet occurred. We do not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use and therefore information reconciling forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable effort and is not provided. The occurrence, timing, and amount of any of the items excluded from U.S. GAAP to calculate non-GAAP financial measures could significantly impact our U.S. GAAP results.
