BOSTON,MA – August 4, 2021 – 908 Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built handheld and desktop mass spec devices for chemical and biomolecular analysis, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

“I am incredibly proud of our team’s progress this quarter as we continue to execute on our growth strategy. We have made important strides across our business and are looking forward to continuing this momentum into the second half of the year,” said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder. “We now expect revenue to grow more than 50% this year as we expand our global presence and continue to accelerate customer adoption.”

2021 Guidance

Expected revenue of $40 million to $43 million, representing 49% to 60% growth over full year 2020. This compares to the previously<br>expected revenue range of $38 million to $40 million.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue was $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a 49% increase over the first three months ended March 31, 2021 and a 26% decrease from $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. A one-time revenue event in Q2 2020, due to the shipment of 150 MX908 handheld devices for a single customer, is primarily responsible for the year over year decline. Desktop revenue grew 70% year over year and contributed to one-third of total revenue for Q2 2021.

The install base grew to 1,530 placements with 103 devices placed in Q2 2021. The increase in devices was driven primarily by our handhelds which increased 63% over Q1 2021, and our desktops which increased 25% over Q1 2021.

Gross profit was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $6.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. Product and service gross margin was 53%, as compared to 58% for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expenses were $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $4.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. This increase was driven by headcount expansion across our business, primarily focused in our commercial organization, a provision to increase our allowance for bad debts, and increased expenses related to operating as a public company.

Net loss was $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $2.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.27 for the second quarter of 2021, compared to a net income per share of $0.11 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents were $141 million as of June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company has approximately $15 million of debt outstanding.
