Seer Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Grew revenue 22% year-over-year with continued growth in installed base
and an increasing number of customer presentations and publications

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. May 9, 2023 – Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), a life sciences company commercializing a disruptive new platform for proteomics, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“We started the year off strong with continued growth in our installed base and progress against our strategic objectives. It is exciting to see the Proteograph enable breakthrough science, with increasing data demonstrating its power, extensibility, and catalyzation of new applications,” said Omid Farokhzad, CEO and President. “We are seeing more data being generated by our customers, the initiation of larger studies, and the first customer publications make their way through the peer-review process. We expect this momentum to continue throughout the year as more customers adopt the technology and scale their use of the platform.”

Recent Highlights
•Achieved revenue of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 22% over the prior year period
•Announced the first protein quantitative trait loci, or pQTL, customer manuscript, demonstrating the association of genetic variants with protein variants at peptide-level resolution in healthy and diabetic patients, now available as a pre-print on BioRxiv
•Announced a peer-reviewed article published in PLOS ONE, which shows the advantage of multiple peptide measurements per protein over single protein measurements, using them to identify examples of previously unknown differential protein isoform abundance in lung cancer vs. healthy controls
•Presented ten posters at the US Human Proteome Organization conference highlighting the Proteograph Product Suite, including customer data on COVID-19 vaccine response and a robust, high-throughput method for deep plasma proteomics

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 22% increase from $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of consumable kits related to the Proteograph Product Suite. Product-related revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was $3.6 million, including $1.3 million of related party revenue, and consisted of sales of SP100 instruments, consumable kits and platform evaluations. Service revenue was $0.1 million and grant and other revenue was $0.3 million. 

Gross profit, inclusive of grant and other revenue, was $2.1 million and gross margin was 51% for the first quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses were $29.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, including $8.7 million of stock-based compensation, an increase of 18%, as compared to $25.0 million, including $8.1 million of stock-based compensation, for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in expenses was driven by increased employee compensation and other

related expenses, including stock-based compensation, product development efforts related to the Proteograph Product Suite, and expenses associated with build-out of expansion facilities.

Net loss was $24.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $23.6 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $410.5 million as of March 31, 2023.
