DermTech Reports First-Quarter 2022 Financial Results; Company Affirms Full-Year 2022 Outlook

- Record billable sample volume and assay revenue

DermTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMTK) (“DermTech” or the “Company”), a leader in precision dermatology enabled by a non-invasive skin genomics platform, today reported its first-quarter 2022 financial results and affirmed its full-year 2022 outlook.

“We kicked off the year on a record pace for many of our key operating metrics and affirmed our full-year 2022 outlook,” said John Dobak, M.D., CEO, DermTech. “We also added a payor contract during the first quarter bringing our total covered U.S. lives to approximately 91 million. Overall, we believe we have excellent long-term growth prospects and that 2022 will be a transformational year as we leverage our commercial scale to address the urgent need to improve the early detection of melanoma.”

First-Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • Billable sample volume grew 53 percent from the first quarter of 2021 to approximately 14,370.
  • Assay revenue was $3.5 million, up 61 percent from the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher billable sample volume.
  • Total revenue was $3.7 million, a 47 percent increase from the first quarter of 2021, driven by higher assay revenue.
  • Sales and marketing expenses were $15.4 million, a 137 percent increase from the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to higher employee-related costs from increased headcount and marketing expenditures.
  • Research and development expenses were $6.3 million, a 182 percent increase from the first quarter of 2021, largely due to higher employee-related and clinical trial costs.
  • General and administrative expenses were $8.6 million, a 66 percent increase from the first quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by higher employee-related and infrastructure costs.
  • Net loss was $30.1 million, or $1.01 per share, which included $3.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as compared to $15.1 million, or $0.55 per share, for the first quarter of 2021, which included $2.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities were $202.1 million as of March 31, 2022.

Other Business Highlights

  • In March 2022, SKIN: The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine published the OptumInsight economic study, which suggested that using DermTech’s Pigmented Lesion Assay to rule out melanoma can minimize avoidable surgical procedures on benign lesions and decrease downstream costs of late-stage melanoma diagnoses, which reduces overall cost of care. This model predicted annual net savings of $0.54 per member per month over a three-year period for commercial health plans.
  • The Company expanded its telehealth availability through DermTech Connect, which is now available in 44 states and represents 95% of the U.S. population.

2022 Outlook

The Company affirmed its full-year 2022 outlook for assay revenue between $22 million and $26 million.
