Announces New Library Preparation Development Program

BRANFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2025-- Quantum-Si Incorporated (Nasdaq: QSI) (“Quantum-Si,” “QSI” or the “Company”), The Protein Sequencing Company™, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Press Release Highlights

• First quarter 2025 revenue of $842,000, an 84% increase over the first quarter of 2024
• Launched and completed first deliveries of Platinum^® Pro
• Announced on track development of Proteus^™ Platform and v4 Sequencing Kit
• Announced development of a new v3 Library Preparation Kit with expected launch by end of 2025
• Expands international channel network
• Reaffirms cash runway into the second half of 2027

“We completed a productive quarter, including launching Platinum Pro, completing the training of Avantor, our North American channel partner, and solid progress across all of our development programs,” said Jeff Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum-Si. “In response to the strong momentum we are observing across international markets, we expanded our international channel partner network which now stands at 23 partners. Even with this progress, the life sciences market is facing challenges in the U.S. due to NIH funding and tariff uncertainty, and we are seeing the effects of this as well. Nonetheless, we remain optimistic about the opportunity in pharma and biotech markets as well as internationally, where the accessibility of Platinum Pro makes it one of the only viable advanced proteomics technologies available to customers.”

Hawkins continued, “In addition to our commercial progress, our R&D team continues to execute well, and our version 4 Sequencing Kit remains on track for Q3 2025 launch, and we remain on track to achieve successful protein sequencing on a prototype Proteus system by the end of 2025. Further, we have also launched the development of a version 3 Library Preparation Kit, which we expect to launch by the end of 2025. We remain confident in the long-term market opportunity in proteomics and the technology roadmap we are executing against to capitalize on that opportunity.”

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded revenue of $842,000. Gross profit was $486,000 and gross margin was 58%. The periodic gross margin rate is expected to be variable in the near term as the Company works through the initial stages of commercialization as well as the timing and mix of product sales between instruments and consumable kits.

Total operating expenses were $25.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $23.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted total operating expenses were $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $21.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company continues to manage its operating expenses tightly, while continuing to fund continued investment in its commercialization efforts and funding its Proteus development program, which was launched in November 2024.

Net loss was $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $19.5 million in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to negative $20.5 million in the same period of the prior year. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted total operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA is provided in a table included in this press release.

The Company completed a $50 million registered direct offering on January 6, 2025, netting proceeds of $46.8 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities were $232.6 million.

In addition, adjusted EBITDA further excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, dividend and interest income, and changes in fair value of warrant liabilities.

A discussion of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2025.
