  Content	SAN DIEGO, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. BNGO today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 and revenue outlook for 2025. "2024 has been an important year for Bionano. Despite a challenging external environment with shrinking capital budgets, financial uncertainty for our customers and difficult equity capital markets, we have continued serving our mission of transforming the way the world sees the genome and we believe we have identified a strategy to weather the storm. It is based on substantially lower operating expenses and a focus on the subset of optical genome mapping (OGM) and software customers that are using our products for routine use in a way that drives consistent and recurring revenues supporting higher overall gross profits. I could not be more proud of our team as the fourth quarter of 2024 marks the seventh straight quarter of heavy lifting on the cost reduction efforts that began in May 2023. Altogether we have reduced the annualized cost of operating the business by approximately $100 million," commented Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and chief executive officer of Bionano. "We concluded the year with a lot of momentum, solid revenues from OGM and VIA™ software across priority customers and target geographies. We entered 2025 with strong demand for our products and the newly established category I CPT code for OGM on the clinical lab fee schedule managed by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and we believe we have cash runway into 2026." Recent Highlights Completed a $10 million Registered Direct Offering in January 2025, and Bionano raised net proceeds of $3.2 million through ATM sales during the first quarter of 2025. and Bionano raised net proceeds of $3.2 million through ATM sales during the first quarter of 2025. Announced, together with the Greenwood Genetic Center, a publication describing the first application of OGM to investigate the genetic landscape of neural tube disorders . OGM identified potentially pathogenic, likely pathogenic and potentially relevant variants in 30% of cases studied, which exceeds the rate of conventional methods significantly . OGM identified potentially pathogenic, likely pathogenic and potentially relevant variants in 30% of cases studied, which exceeds the rate of conventional methods significantly Announced a case study publication from the Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital , demonstrating the application of OGM in a protocol for preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR). , demonstrating the application of OGM in a protocol for preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR). Announced a case study publication from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Genes showing that OGM identifies a variant in an aggressive form of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) known as acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This variant is often missed by conventional cytogenetic techniques.

For more information, visit www.bionano.com or www.bionanolaboratories.com. Unless specifically noted otherwise, Bionano's OGM products are for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Bionano's financial results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company has provided non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expense in this press release and the accompanying conference call, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes from gross margin presented in accordance with GAAP: stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, and disposal of reagent rentals and write-down excess and obsolete inventory. Non-GAAP operating expense excludes from GAAP reported operating expense the following components as detailed in the reconciliation table accompanying this press release: stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and acquisition-related expenses. Bionano believes that each of these non-GAAP metrics is useful to investors and analysts as a supplement to its financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP for analyzing the company's performance and identifying trends in its business. Bionano uses these non-GAAP metrics internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of its performance in order to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions and for forecasting and budgeting. Accordingly, Bionano believes presentation of these non-GAAP measure allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics it uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future, there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measure as used by Bionano in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation table has limits in its usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin to gross margin reported in accordance with GAAP and non-GAAP operating expense to operating expense reported in accordance with GAAP, please refer to the financial tables accompanying this press release.
