23andMe Reports FY2023 Second Quarter Financial Results
November 7, 2022
Second quarter revenue grew 37% to $76 million
Consumer revenue grew 27% year over year due to the addition of telehealth revenue
On track to achieve FY2023 financial guidance
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 07, 2022 (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 second quarter ("Q2") of its fiscal year 2023 ("FY2023"), which ended September 30, 2022. 23andMe is the only company with multiple FDA authorizations for over-the-counter genetic health risk reports, and in particular the only company the FDA has authorized to provide, without physician involvement, genetic cancer risk reports and medication insights on how individuals may process certain commonly prescribed medications based on their genetics. The Company has also created the world's largest crowdsourced platform for genetic research, which it is using to pursue drug discovery programs rooted in human genetics across a spectrum of disease areas.
"23andMe continues to deliver on the promise of personalized healthcare that followed the completion of the Human Genome Project over 20 years ago. 23andMe has the world's largest re-contactable database for genetic research, which makes us best positioned to unlock the potential of the human genome to treat and prevent disease. With our acquisition and integration of telehealth and digital pharmacy services, we will be able to provide our customers with one of the first large-scale personalized, genetics-based health services," said Anne Wojcicki, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of 23andMe. "Our genetic database also provides us with one of the largest research platforms for therapeutic discovery - producing over 50 therapeutics programs to date. Just this week our wholly owned 23ME-00610 Phase 1 program targeting CD200R1 will be the subject of a trials- in-progress presentation at The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer's annual meeting. In our efforts to help people benefit from the human genome, we believe it is our genetics-based health services and the new therapeutics that come out of our discovery engine that will provide the greatest prospects for fulfilling the promise of personalized healthcare."
Recent Highlights
Received FDA clearance to provide interpretive drug information for simvastatin, a commonly prescribed cholesterol medication.
Expanded customer database to approximately 13.4 million genotyped customers.
Launched three new reports for 23andMe+ members. 23andMe+ is a membership service that offers insights and features to give members even more actionable information to live healthier lives. These reports are developed by 23andMe scientists using data and insights gathered from thousands of customers who have consented to participate in our research. They use machine learning to create a statistical model that estimates a person's likelihood of developing a specific condition using thousands of genetic markers, along with a person's ethnicity and birth sex. The new reports released in the second quarter were:
Anxiety report
Fibromyalgia report
Seasonal Allergies report
Launched a rare diseases study in four rare conditions - systemic sclerosis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, pemphigus vulgaris and dermatomyositis - with the hope of identifying new treatments and insights for these hard to study diseases.
Published results from a study that identified five regions in the human genome associated with susceptibility to pneumonia, a leading cause of death worldwide.
Published a large genetic study that identified hundreds of genes associated with insomnia, a condition that is also linked to depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, as well as metabolic disorders.

"We continue to see good revenue growth in our consumer business with the addition of telehealth services revenue," said Joe Selsavage, Interim Chief Financial and Accounting Officer of 23andMe. "We also received $50 million from GSK, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, as payment for their option to extend the exclusive target discovery period of our collaboration for a fifth year. This helps strengthen our balance sheet as we work to create a new consumer experience with our genetic health service and advance our therapeutics programs, which further enable our opportunities for growth and profitability."
FY2023 Second Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, was $76 million and $140 million, respectively, compared to $55 million and $114 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, representing an increase of 37% and 22% respectively. Second quarter revenue and six-month revenue growth was primarily driven by the inclusion of telehealth services from the acquisition of Lemonaid in November 2021, increased Research Services revenue and continued growth in our subscription service. The Research Services revenue included revenue from GSK as well as non-recurring payments from other partners. These increases were partially offset by lower Personal Genome Service ("PGS") revenue.
Revenue from Consumer Services, which includes PGS, telehealth and subscription services, represented approximately 75% and 80% of total revenue, respectively, for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2022. Research Services revenue is primarily derived from the collaboration with GSK and accounted for approximately 25% and 20% of total revenue, respectively, for those same periods.
Operating expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 were $106 million and $221 million, respectively, compared to $74 million and $147 million, respectively for the same periods in the prior year. The increases in operating expenses in the second quarter and six-month periods were primarily attributable to increased labor costs and the addition of sales and marketing expenses from the previously acquired telehealth business. These were partially offset by lower R&D expenses due to decreased spending on the GSK6097608 (GSK '608) program following the Company's election to adopt the royalty option versus continuing to share in development costs.
Net loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 was $66 million and $156 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $17 million and $59 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase in the three-month and six-month net loss was primarily driven by a benefit from changes in fair value of warrant liabilities of $30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and higher operating expenses in the current period (as noted above), partially offset by higher revenue.
Total Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 was a deficit of $30 million and $79 million, respectively, compared to a deficit of $30 million and $57 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA deficit for the six month period was driven primarily by the increase in operating expenses mentioned above and partially offset by increased revenue.
Balance Sheet
23andMe ended September 30, 2022 with cash and cash equivalents of $411 million, compared to $553 million as of March 31, 2022. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, a payment of $50 million was received from GSK, as mentioned above. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company's overall operating cash flow deficit.
FY2023 Financial Guidance
23andme reconfirmed its full year guidance following Q2 FY2023 results. Full year revenue for fiscal 2023, which will end on March 31, 2023, is projected to be in the range of $260 to $280 million, with a net loss in the range of $350 to $370 million. The full year adjusted EBITDA deficit is projected to be in the range of $195 to $215 million for fiscal year 2023. As a reminder, this guidance includes the full-year impact of the consolidation of the Company's acquired telehealth business into its overall consumer business as well as the current and anticipated effects of general inflation on certain of our costs.

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 businesses in consumer genetics and therapeutics and the growth and potential of its proprietary research platform. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated in this press release, including statements regarding 23andMe's 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 expense (income), net other expense (income), changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, amortization of internal use software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cashstock-based compensation expense, acquisition- related costs, and expenses related to restructuring and other charges, if applicable for the period. 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-titlednon-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.
