Exhibit 99.1
Standard BioTools Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Revenue
Preliminary, unaudited revenue for the full year 2024 of approximately $174 million
Presenting at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Thursday, January 16th, 2024, at 9:45 a.m. PT.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., January 13, 2025 -- Standard BioTools Inc. (NASDAQ: LAB) (“Standard BioTools” or the “Company”) today announced preliminary and unaudited revenue results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024. Standard BioTools expects fourth quarter 2024 revenue of approximately $46.5 million and full year 2024 revenue of approximately $174 million.
"The team worked hard in a difficult environment to deliver on the top end of our revised annual guidance forecast, adjusted in the second quarter to account for the ongoing and industry-wide headwinds” said Michael Egholm, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Standard BioTools. “We also made significant progress reducing our operating expenses by implementing Standard BioTools Business Systems (“SBS”), but work remains and demands renewed commitment to discipline and continuous improvement.”
Mr. Egholm continued, “Guided by SBS, 2025 will see us realize even more efficiencies from integration, including benefits to R&D as we move past the technical debt inherited from both companies. Consolidations are difficult but our ability to acquire and integrate is clear. It is also clear that now is the time for Standard BioTools to leverage this foundation, organically and inorganically, to scale and shift revenues towards high-margin offerings and attractive end markets.”
“The train has now left the station, with a well-timed, well-capitalized strategy, and a world-class team to deliver long-term value to shareholders and customers alike. The best part of the journey is ahead. "
Standard BioTools plans to report its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results later this quarter, at which time the Company will discuss its 2024 financial results in more detail and provide its outlook for 2025.
The Company’s unaudited, preliminary 2024 revenue results are based on current expectations and may be adjusted as a result of, among other things, completion of annual audit procedures. This financial information does not represent a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter or full year 2024 and remains subject to the completion of financial closing procedures and internal reviews.

Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding financial outlook and business performance, including related to revenues, net loss and adjusted EBITDA, growth, margin and operating expenses; statements regarding future financial performance and expectations, operational and strategic plans, deployment of capital, cash runway and sufficiency of cash resources, potential market and growth opportunities, and future potential M&A activity; the potential to realize the expected benefits of prior and potential future acquisitions, our 2025 and 2026 financial targets, including with respect to revenue, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, cash, and free cash flow; the competitive ability and position of the company, the success, cost and timing of the company’s product development, sales and marketing, and research and development activities, the company’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for its products, the sufficiency of the company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund operations, and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Statements regarding future events are based on the parties’ current expectations and are necessarily subject to associated risks and uncertainties related to, among other things, the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the merger; risks that the anticipated benefits of the merger or other commercial opportunities may otherwise not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; risks that we may not realize expected cost savings from our restructuring plans, including the anticipated decrease in operational expenses, at the levels we expect; possible restructuring and transition-related disruption, including through the loss of customers, suppliers, and employees and adverse impacts on our development activities and results of operation; restructuring activities, including our subleasing plans, customer and employee relations, management distraction, and reduced operating performance; risks that internal and external costs required for ongoing and planned activities may be higher than expected, which may cause us to use cash more quickly than we expect or change or curtail some of our plans, or both; risks that our expectations as to expenses, cash usage, and cash needs may prove not to be correct for other reasons such as changes in plans or actual events being different than our assumptions; our ability to achieve future financial targets; changes in our business or external market conditions; challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, launching, marketing, and selling new products; interruptions or delays in the supply of components or materials for, or manufacturing of, our products; reliance on sales of capital equipment for a significant proportion of revenues in each quarter; seasonal variations in customer operations; unanticipated increases in costs or expenses; continued or sustained budgetary, inflationary, or recessionary pressures; uncertainties in contractual relationships; reductions in research and development spending or changes in budget priorities by customers; uncertainties relating to our research and development activities, and distribution plans and capabilities; potential product performance and quality issues; risks associated with international operations; intellectual property risks; and competition.

Non-GAAP financial information Standard BioTools has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation are non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as a measure of operating performance because the non-GAAP financial measures do not include the impact of items that management does not consider indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, taken in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark the company’s performance externally against competitors. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of the company’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Standard BioTools encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliations between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP operating results are presented in the accompanying tables of this presentation.
