23andMe Reports FY2023 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

Achieved FY2023 financial guidance

FY2023 full year revenue grew 10% over prior year

Webcast today, May 25, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 23andMe Holding Co. (Nasdaq: ME) (23andMe), a leading human genetics and biopharmaceutical company with a mission to help people access, understand, and benefit from the human genome, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter (Q4) and full year of fiscal year 2023 (FY2023), which ended March 31, 2023. 23andMe is the only company with multiple U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizations for over-the-counter genetic health risk reports. The Company has also created the world’s largest, re-contactable crowdsourced platform of genotypic information paired with billions of phenotypic data points contributed by engaged customers. This unique platform enables the Company to discover new genetic insights, develop impactful risk prediction reports for common health conditions, and accelerate the identification of novel drug discovery programs rooted in human genetics across a spectrum of disease areas.

“23andMe had a productive year with numerous consumer and therapeutics business milestones. We grew our customer base to over 14 million genotyped customers, and launched 11 new health reports for our 23andMe+ members, including the first and only direct-to-consumer FDA-authorized report on hereditary prostate cancer. As we continue to add value to our subscription product and integrate Lemonaid’s telehealth and pharmacy services, we believe we can truly help fulfill the promise of personalized care,” said Anne Wojcicki, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of 23andMe. “Our Therapeutics group continues to advance a number of programs, including 23ME-00610, a wholly-owned immunotherapy currently in the Phase 2a portion of a Phase 1/2a study. We also remain well positioned to pursue collaborations with multiple pharma partners on a number of drug discovery and development and disease awareness efforts. By enhancing our efforts to provide a leading genetics-based health service and utilizing our discovery engine for new therapeutics, we have the opportunity to transform how we predict, prevent and treat diseases in the future.”

Full Year FY2023 Financial Results Summary

  • Delivered full year performance in FY23 that was within or better than guidance.
    • $299 million revenue
    • $312 million net loss
    • $161 million Adjusted EBITDA deficit
  • Solid balance sheet with cash of $387 million at year end.

Recent Highlights

Consumer
The Company continued to add reports for 23andMe+ members, and launched a collaboration with Novartis for disease awareness.

Therapeutics
The Company continued to progress its wholly-owned 23ME-00610 program in the clinic.

  • Presented results from the Phase 1 portion of the first-in-human Phase 1/2a study of 23ME-00610 in a poster at the 2023 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. The results showed 23ME-00610 demonstrated an acceptable safety and tolerability profile, with favorable pharmacokinetics and peripheral CD200R1 saturation in patients with advanced solid malignancies.
  • Dosed the first patient in the Phase 2a portion of its Phase 1/2a study evaluating the anti-tumor activity of the 23ME-00610 monotherapy in a number of previously disclosed expansion cohorts. Dosing will be at 1400 mg intravenously every 3 weeks based on Phase 1 data. The Phase 2a portion of the study will further characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of 23ME-00610.

Corporate
The Company added to its experienced leadership team and published its first ESG report.

  • Announced the appointment of Reza Afkhami as Chief Corporate Development Officer overseeing corporate development efforts across the Company’s therapeutics, research services and consumer groups. Afkhami will lead the Company’s current efforts to pursue a wide range of collaborations, including leveraging the Company’s pipeline of genetically validated discovery and clinical programs, as well as patient recruitment and disease awareness campaigns.
  • Published inaugural environmental social and governance (ESG) report that outlines the Company’s strategy and initiatives to ensure ethical management, promote a diverse and equitable culture, and implement sustainable business operations. The full report is available to view here.

“Our 2023 fiscal year was important for 23andMe as we continued to prioritize the roll out of our next-generation genomic health services and advance our therapeutics efforts, while also remaining focused on growing our consumer business,” said Joe Selsavage, Interim Chief Financial and Accounting Officer of 23andMe. “We continue to use a disciplined approach in the advancement of our therapeutics portfolio and to focus our efforts on creating a new customer experience with our prevention-based genetic health services, further enabling our opportunities for growth.”

FY2023 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results
Total revenue for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2023, was $92 million and $299 million, respectively, compared to $101 million and $272 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, representing a decrease of 8% and an increase of 10%, respectively. The decrease in fourth quarter revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in Research Services revenue from the GSK collaboration as the prior year included a cumulative revenue adjustment due to a change in estimate of total project resources, resulting in a higher percentage of completion to date, and a decrease in Consumer Services revenue from lower volumes on Personal Genome Service (PGS) kit sales as we focused on driving improved margins through higher average selling prices. Full year revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in Consumer Services revenue attributable to a full year of telehealth services revenue from the Lemonaid Health Acquisition, whereas the prior year included only 5 months, and an increase in subscription services revenue, partially offset by a decrease in PGS kit revenue. Research Services revenue increased primarily due to an increase in GSK collaboration revenue related to GSK exercising their option to extend the exclusive target discovery period of our collaboration for a fifth year and an increase in revenue under research contracts with third parties.

Revenue from Consumer Services, which includes PGS, telehealth and subscription services, represented approximately 88% and 83% of total revenue, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2023. Research Services revenue is primarily derived from the collaboration with GSK and accounted for approximately 12% and 17% of total revenue, respectively, for those same periods.

Operating expenses for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2023, were $109 million and $459 million, respectively, compared to $117 million and $387 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses in the three-month period was primarily due to a one time net litigation settlement payment in fiscal year 2022 and timing differences in marketing campaigns and fewer promotional windows between the comparative periods. The increase in operating expenses in the twelve-month period was primarily attributable to increased personnel-related expenses driven by increased salaries and related taxes as a result of inflation and headcount growth, and a non-cash impairment charge of an intangible asset. These increases in operating expenses were primarily related to the previously acquired telehealth business.

Net loss for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2023, was $64 million and $312 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $70 million and $217 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The improvement in the three-month period was primarily attributable to lower operating expenses (as noted above) and an increase in interest income from interest yields earned on cash held in money market funds. The increase in the twelve-month period was primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses discussed above, as well as a benefit from change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $33 million and an income tax benefit of $3 million in the twelve months ended March 31, 2022.

Total Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2023, was a deficit of $39 million and $161 million, respectively, compared to a deficit of $30 million and $151 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The increase in the Adjusted EBITDA deficit for the three and twelve-month periods was primarily due to the increase in operating expenses noted above. Please refer to the tables below for a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Balance Sheet
23andMe ended March 31, 2023 with cash and cash equivalents of $387 million, compared to $553 million as of March 31, 2022.

FY2024 Financial Guidance
The Company’s full year fiscal 2024 guidance is based on a conservative approach, recognizing the current uncertainties in the general economy and financial markets. Within the existing Consumer businesses of PGS and telehealth, the Company is prioritizing the minimization of cash burn over initiatives intended to create incremental top-line growth. For those areas of the business expected to drive future growth, which include the Company’s new genomic health services and Therapeutics, the Company plans to focus on the most strategically and financially valuable allocation of capital and invest appropriately. Given the Company’s shift in focus to higher margins rather than volume growth in PGS and telehealth, as well as the end of the target discovery term of the GSK collaboration, the Company does not foresee meaningful revenue contribution from these areas of Consumer in FY2024. Revenue guidance for FY2024, which will end on March 31, 2024, is projected to be in the range of $255 million to $280 million, with a net loss in the range of $340 million to $365 million. Full year adjusted EBITDA deficit is projected to be in the range of $170 to $195 million for fiscal year 2024.

The Adjusted EBITDA guidance, assumes the following:

  • We will continue to advance our current Therapeutic assets
  • No additional revenue from new strategic partnerships
  • No savings incurred from cost reduction initiatives, such as those related to the evaluation of opting-in or out of our GSK programs, out-licensing or partnering on our therapeutic programs or other internal operating cost reductions

Adjusted EBITDA is our best proxy for cash burn and we do not assume the sale of any equity under our At-the-Market Sales program with Cowen and Company, LLC (the “ATM Program”).

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements regarding the future performance of 23andMe’s Consumer and Research Services and Therapeutics businesses, the growth and potential of its proprietary research platform ,the development of the Company’s products and therapeutics programs, and access to and use of the ATM Program, including potential sales of shares pursuant thereto and the benefits thereof. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated in this press release, including statements regarding 23andMe’s expected future operating results, strategy, financial position, funding for continued operations, cash reserves, projected costs, plans, and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "may," "could," "should," "potential," "likely," "projects," “predicts,” "continue," "will," “schedule,” and "would" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are predictions based on 23andMe’s current expectations and projections about future events and various assumptions. 23andMe cannot guarantee that it will actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in its forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on 23andMe’s forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the control of 23andMe), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as revised and updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. The statements made herein are made as of the date of this press release and, except as may be required by law, 23andMe undertakes no obligation to update them, whether as a result of new information, developments, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
To supplement the 23andMe’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release also includes references to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that 23andMe defines as net income (loss) before net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), income tax expenses (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, and other items that are considered unusual or not representative of underlying trends of our business, including but not limited to: changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, litigation settlement, and restructuring and other charges, if applicable for the periods presented. 23andMe has provided a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA at the end of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by 23andMe’s management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve 23andMe’s annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operating plans. 23andMe provides Adjusted EBITDA because 23andMe believes it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in its industry and it facilitates comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, 23andMe believes it is helpful in highlighting trends in its operating results because it excludes items that are not indicative of 23andMe’s core operating performance. In particular, 23andMe believes that the exclusion of the items eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of 23andMe’s business. Accordingly, 23andMe believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating operating results in the same manner as 23andMe’s management and board of directors.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future 23andMe will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. 23andMe’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in the same industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures rather than net loss, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. When evaluating 23andMe’s performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss and other GAAP results.
