Nautilus Biotechnology Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
SEATTLE, WA, August 2, 2022 – Nautilus Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAUT; or “Nautilus”), a company pioneering a single molecule proteome analysis, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Recent Highlights

Reported total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 of $15.5 million, down sequentially from $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2022 and from $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Announced the hiring of industry veterans Eric Spence and Ken Kuhn as VP of Instrument Engineering and VP of Reagent and Process Development, respectively, to strengthen Nautilus’ development efforts.
Provided guidance that anticipates the launch of the Nautilus proteome analysis platform - instruments and reagents - by mid-2024 with meaningful early access engagements and associated revenue to begin at the start of 2024.

“We continued to see solid progress against our development goals in the second quarter of 2022 and remain confident in our overarching strategy,” said Sujal Patel, CEO of Nautilus. “In light of current macroeconomic conditions, we are financially managing the business in a way that gives us the maximum opportunity to build, launch, and commercialize our platform, and anticipate our cash runway extending well into 2025. We remain singularly focused on driving our scientific and development efforts forward in the most efficient, most predictable ways possible. By making the choice to focus intently on development at this time, we believe we are positioning ourselves to maximize our impact on the marketplace and on biological science.”
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Operating expenses were $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, a 45% increase from $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating expenses was driven primarily by an increase in headcount to support ongoing development of our products as well as the costs associated with being a public company.
Net loss was $14.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to a net loss of $10.7 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $334.9 million as of June 30, 2022.
Webcast and Conference Call Information
Nautilus will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter 2022 financial results, business developments and outlook before market open on Tuesday, August 2, 2022 at 5:30 AM Pacific Time / 8:30 AM Eastern Time. Live audio of the webcast will be available on the “Investors” section of the company website at: www.nautilus.bio.

include (without limitation) the following: Nautilus’ product platform is not yet commercially available and remains subject to significant scientific and technical development, which is inherently challenging and difficult to predict, particularly with respect to highly novel and complex products such as those being developed by Nautilus. Even if our development efforts are successful, our product platform will require substantial validation of its functionality and utility in life science research. In the course of Nautilus’ scientific and technical development and associated product validation and commercialization, we may experience material delays as a result of unanticipated events. We cannot provide any guarantee or assurance with respect to the outcome of our development, collaboration, and commercialization initiatives or with respect to their associated timelines.
