OpGen Reports 2016 Third Quarter Financial Results and Provides Business Update
 
Conference call begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time today

GAITHERSBURG, Md., October 24, 2016 -- OpGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPGN) today reported financial and operational results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Highlights of the third quarter and recent weeks include:

·
Third-quarter revenues of $0.8 million, a 23% decrease over prior year
·
Nine-month revenues of $3.0 million, a 65% increase over prior year
·
Automated QuickFISH® Pathogen ID clinical trial anticipated to begin Q1 2017
·
Acuitas Lighthouse® rapid antibiotic resistance test and knowledgebase development underway
·
Initial Intermountain Healthcare Retrospective Study results presented

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $0.8 million, compared with $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2015, a 23% decrease. Product sales and laboratory services decreased to $0.8 million, compared with $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2015. The decrease was attributable to decreased rapid pathogen ID and legacy genome mapping product sales. Gross margin on product sales was 45% for the third quarter of 2016. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $5.6 million, compared with $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2015. The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2016 was $4.8 million, or $0.23 per share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2015 of $4.7 million, or $0.38 per share. The company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 million as of September 30, 2016, compared with $7.8 million as of December 31, 2015.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $3.0 million, compared with $1.8 million for the same period of 2015, a 65% increase. Revenue from product sales and laboratory services increased 90% to $2.9 million from $1.5 million in 2015 primarily as a result of sales of rapid pathogen ID testing products. Gross margin on product sales was 53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $17.3 million, compared with $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, or $0.92 per share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or $2.00 per share.

"During the quarter we continued to make progress developing our genomics and informatics business. Nine-month revenue increased 65% to $3.0 million and we continued to progress a number of key strategic initiatives. In the area of rapid antibiotic decision-making, our automated rapid pathogen ID system is on track to begin 510(k) clinical trials in Q1 2017 and development of our mAST™ antibiotic resistance testing solution is underway. We have begun testing thousands of pathogens to support development of our Acuitas Lighthouse rapid antibiotic resistance test and knowledge base following the successful verification of our expanded Resistome test and the initial performance confirmation of our mAST genotype/phenotype predictive algorithms. These products and services are being developed to address the large and growing global antibiotic resistance testing opportunity," said Evan Jones, chairman and chief executive officer of OpGen.
 

 
"We continue to work closely with large healthcare providers and hospital networks to demonstrate the benefits of our integrated informatics and genomic products and services. At IDWeek 2016 we anticipate the presentation of additional data from these collaborative efforts as we work to transform acute care infectious disease monitoring with our Acuitas Lighthouse offerings."

Mr. Jones concluded, "During the third quarter our revenues, were negatively impacted by several items. These included the timing of sales, the phase-out of our legacy whole genome mapping products, and supply chain issues for our rapid pathogen ID products. We have addressed the supply chain issues and, looking forward, we anticipate a stable recurring revenue base from our rapid pathogen ID testing products and growing contribution to revenue from our new product sales and service offerings."
