"In the third quarter T2Biosystems generated strong revenue growth driven by 173% sales growth from the T2Bacteria Panel in the U.S. and 78% growth in international instrument sales," stated John Sperzel, Chairman and CEO of T2 Biosystems. "We expect to continue achieving stronger growth following several recent commercial, operational and pipeline advancements. The U.S. commercial distribution agreement with Cardinal, collaboration with Prxcision, and FDA clearance for the T2Candida Panel for pediatrics represent immediate opportunities to provide our clinically differentiated, culture-independent, diagnostics to more patients and hospitals."
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $2.0 million, an increase of 34% compared to the prior year period. Sepsis test revenue grew 34% compared to the prior year period, led by T2Bacteria®.
Cost of product revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $4.1 million, a 4% increase compared to the prior year period driven by increased international instrument and sepsis test sales. Research and development expenses were $2.7 million, which is comparable to the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.4 million, a 10% decrease compared to the prior year period driven by decreased headcount, offset by increased legal expense.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $10.1 million, $(0.57) per share, compared to the prior year third quarter net loss of $15.4 million, or $(3.45) per share.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.1 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company raised $4.3 million in net proceeds with our ATM during the quarter and $3.2 million since September 30, 2024.
