First quarter financial results
Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $28.8 million, as compared to $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, growing 5% year over year and driven primarily by strength in our kit business.
First quarter 2024 kits revenue of $17.6 million represented 61% of our total revenue, compared to 49% for the first quarter of 2023; and grew 30% year over year as a result of continued Explore and Target revenue growth in combination with the launch of Explore HT.
Analysis services revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.8 million, as compared to $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2023.
Other revenue was $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. Other revenue decrease was driven by Signature Q100 placements, this was largely due to a year over year decrease in China where Q1 2023 benefited from government stimulus.
By geography, revenue during the first quarter of 2024 was $17.1 million in Americas, $7.7 million in EMEA (including Sweden), and $4.0 million in China and RoW (including Japan).
Reported gross profit was $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit was $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Reported gross profit margin for kits was 78% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 81% for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin for kits was 80% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 83% for the first quarter of 2023.
Reported gross profit margin for analysis services was 29% as compared to 56% in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin for analysis services was 42% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 62% in the first quarter of 2023.
Reported and adjusted gross profit margin for Other was 42% for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to 21% for the first quarter of 2023.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $42.4 million, as compared to $34.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase was largely due the overall growth of the business, which includes expenses related to strategic initiatives.
Net loss was $(16.1) million for the first quarter of 2024 and adjusted EBITDA was $(15.5) million, as compared to a net loss of $(14.0) million and adjusted EBITDA of $(9.4) million for the first quarter of 2023. Add-back in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2024 amounted to a total of $4.1 million which pertain to costs associated with the work in response to the tender offer by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced on October 17, 2023, $1.1 million, and costs for the share-based compensation, $3.0 million. Add-back in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2023 amounted to a total of $3.6 million which primarily included costs related to our January 2023 capital raise, $1.5 million, and costs for the share-based compensation, $2.1 million.
Net loss per share for the first quarter of 2024 was $(0.13) based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 124,342,715 as compared to a net loss per share of $(0.11) in the first quarter of 2023 based on a weighted average number of outstanding shares of 122,954,966.

Statement regarding use of non IFRS financial measures
We present certain non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of these non-IFRS measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. We caution readers that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted gross profit margin by segment, and constant currency revenue growth, may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies. Not all companies and Wall Street analysts calculate the non-IFRS measures we use in the same manner. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of these non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
We are not able to forecast constant currency revenue on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting foreign currency exchange rates and, as a result, are unable to provide a reconciliation to forecasted constant currency revenue.

Reconciliation of constant currency revenue growth to revenue growth as reported under IFRS, the most directly comparable IFRS measure (unaudited):
We use the non-IFRS measure of constant currency growth, which we define as our total revenue growth from one fiscal year to the next on a constant currency exchange rate basis. We measure our constant currency revenue growth by applying the current fiscal period’s average exchange rate to the prior year fiscal period.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors consider that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt over this assumption and that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of US dollars unless otherwise stated.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report filed on Form 20-F on March 25, 2024, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
2.2. New standards, interpretations and amendments
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2024.

3. Significant accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We are continuing to closely monitor how the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as
the Middle East conflicts, are affecting our business. As of March 31, 2024, we concluded there was
no evidence of material changes to the recoverability risk of business assets, including deferred tax assets
and trade receivables.
We continue to closely monitor our IT systems based on the general risk of potential cyberattacks by state or quasi-state actors as a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
4. Segments and Revenue from contracts with customer

4.4. Seasonality of operations
The Company experiences seasonality in revenue due to customers’ annual budget cycle. The seasonality results from several factors, including the procurement and customers budget cycles, especially government or grant-funded customers, whose cycles often coincide with government fiscal year ends. Similarly, biopharmaceutical customers typically have calendar year fiscal years which also result in a disproportionate amount of purchasing activity occurring during the fourth quarter. The seasonality impacts both segments; therefore, higher revenues and operating profits are usually expected in the second half of the year rather than in the first six months. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the results; however, management has concluded that this is not ‘highly seasonal’ in accordance with IAS 34.
5. Income tax

| | Three months ended | | |
| | March 31, | | |
| Amounts in thousands of U.S. Dollars | | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | |
| Current tax benefit/(expense) | | (475) | | (407) | | | | |
| Deferred tax benefit | | 4,469 | | 3,959 | | | | |
| Income tax benefit | | 3,994 | | 3,552 | | | | |
| Effective tax rate | | 20% | | 20% | | | | |
The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions globally with significant operations outside Sweden. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting earnings and the applicable tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.
The Group has tax losses that arose in Sweden that are available indefinitely for offsetting against future taxable profits of the entities in which the losses arose. It also has tax losses related to interest expense deductions that arose in Sweden that are available for up to 6 years for offsetting against future taxable profits of the entities in which the deduction arose. Based on management's projections regarding future taxable profits, the Group has recognized deferred tax assets for the former but not for the latter because it is not currently probable that the entities in which the loss arose will be able to generate sufficient taxable profits before these entities taxable deduction offsets expire after 6 years.
6. Share capital and other Contributed capital
(A)Public offering
On January 18, 2023 the Company launched a public offering of 5,831,028 ADS each representing one common share of the Company (the “ADSs”), consisting of 4,250,000 ADSs offered by the Company and 1,581,028 ADSs offered by certain selling shareholders of the Company (the “Selling Shareholders”).

The Original Plan was amended and restated on April 7, 2022 at the Annual General Meeting when our shareholders resolved to adopt two long-term incentive programs, LTI I 2022 and LTI II 2022. The principal purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and directors through the granting of share-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. The Company has prior to 2023 filed two registration statements on Form S-8 covering 1,085,900 shares under the Original Plan and an additional 594,403 common shares under the Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan.

Incentive Stock Options
In connection with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 620,675 common shares out of the Original Plan, of which 442,789 options were granted to certain executive officers and directors, in each case with an exercise price equal to 125% of the initial public offering price of $20.00. During the second quarter of 2022, 107,074 options that had been approved at the Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2022, were awarded to certain executive officers and directors, in each case with an exercise price of $17.39 which is equal to 100% of the share price at grant date.

Such options shall vest over four years, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The expiration date on the options is five years from grant date.
The share-based compensation cost is calculated according to the following: The employee stock options were granted free of charge and are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions. Fair value per option at grant date multiplied by the number of outstanding share options multiplied by the number of days passed and divided by the total number of days in the vesting period. To calculate fair value per share option at the grant date, the principles of the Black-Scholes model have been used. The expense associated with these stock options amounted to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The expense associated with these stock options amounted to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These are recorded within selling, administrative and research and development expenses within the income statement.

The following analysis includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage which are measures not calculated in accordance with IFRS. For more information
regarding our use of these measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, see the section titled “Non-IFRS Reconciliations” below.
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $28.8 million compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $1.3 million, or 5%, was driven primarily by Explore Kit revenues and the launch of the new Explore HT Kit, with the Kit segment growing 30%. The Service segment decreased by 25% year over year. The Explore platform accounted for 63% of total Q1 2024 revenues.
Gross Profit/Gross Profit Percentage
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $17.4 million compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $(0.2) million, or (1)% driven by increased costs of Kit production due to inflationary pressure as well as an unfavorable change in product mix, and lower utilization of Service lab cost structure compared to prior year.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $42.4 million compared to $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $7.5 million, or 21%, is reflective of the overall growth of the business, which includes expenses related to strategic initiatives.
Segment Information
Kit Revenues
Kit revenues represented 61% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 49% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and grew 30% year over year primarily as a result of continued Explore and Target revenue growth in combination with the launch of Explore HT. The Company generated a gross margin of 78 % and an adjusted gross profit percentage of 80% on Kit revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a gross margin of 81 % and an adjusted gross margin of 83% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross margin and adjusted gross margin for kits was primarily due to lower production utilization and unfavorable change in product mix compared to prior year.
Service Revenues
Service revenues represented 27% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and decreased by 25% due to expansion of Kit business.
We generated a gross margin of 29 % and an adjusted gross profit percentage of 42% on Service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to a gross margin of 56 % and an adjusted gross margin of 62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in Service gross margin and adjusted gross margin was driven by a decline in revenue, due to Olink's externalization strategy, while maintaining similar fixed cost structure compared to prior year.
Non-IFRS Reconciliations
We present these non-IFRS financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these non-IFRS measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. We caution readers that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies. Not all companies and Wall Street analysts calculate the non-IFRS measures we use in the same manner. We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of these non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS performance measure, which should be considered when evaluating our performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We use the non-IFRS measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as profit for the year before accounting for finance income, finance costs, tax, depreciation, and amortization of acquisition intangibles. We define Adjusted EBITDA as profit for the year before accounting for finance income, finance costs, tax, depreciation, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and management adjustments and share-based compensation expenses. Management adjustments generally consist of certain cash and non-cash items that we believe are not reflective of the normal course of our business. We identify and determine items to be unique based on their nature and incidence or by their significance. As a result, the composition of these items may vary from year to year.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this measure can provide useful information to investors and analysts regarding the operational results of the business, as EBITDA is a fairly common metric with which market participants are familiar.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating loss, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is set forth below:

| | | | | | | | | | | |
Management adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $1.1 million. These adjustments pertain to costs associated with the work in response to the tender offer by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced on October 17, 2023. The costs associated with the tender offer are attributable specifically to third-party administrative expenses, mainly legal fees. Additional information related to the tender offer can be found within the Form 6-K filed by the Company on October 18, 2023, Thermo Fisher's Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Thermo Fisher on October 31, 2023, the Company's Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on October 31, 2023, and subsequent and in future filings by the Company related to the tender offer. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024, includes an add-back of $3.0 million of share-based compensation expenses associated with our Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan.
Management adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $1.5 million and primarily included costs related to our January 2023 capital raise. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023, includes an add-back of $2.1 million of share-based compensation expenses associated with our Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan.
Adjusted Gross Profit, including Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage
We use the non-IFRS measure of Adjusted Gross Profit, including Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue, which is then adjusted to remove the impact of depreciation and the impact of material transactions or events that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as share-based compensation expenses.
We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit, including Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage, provides important information to management and to investors regarding our core profit margin on sales. These are the primary profit or loss measures we use to make resource allocation decisions and evaluate segment performance. Adjusted gross profit assists management in comparing the segment performance consistently basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items we believe do not directly reflect our core operations and, therefore, are not included in measuring segment performance.
