Butterfly Network Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Butterfly Network, Inc. (NYSE: BFLY) (“Butterfly”), a digital health company transforming care with handheld, whole-body ultrasound, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and provided a business update.

Highlights

• Reported total revenue of $19.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, representing a 16.4% increase from $16.5 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and a 23% increase sequentially.
• Baylor Scott & White, in Texas, began a scaled deployment of Butterfly’s Compass software – an initiative that has started within the critical care and emergency departments at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple, Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Hillcrest in Waco.
• Zebra Medical, a leading medical device manufacturer and distributor largely serving the fields of oncology, pain management, and dialysis, is now a distribution partner to bring Butterfly to healthcare professionals in South Africa – for those serving human health as well as animal health.
• Partnership with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (announced in first quarter) to improve maternal and fetal health in Sub-Saharan Africa with Butterfly iQ+ is on track, as we distributed 500 probes to mid-level practitioners in Kenya during the second quarter and 500 probes to be distributed in South Africa in the second half of the year.
• Continued momentum in veterinary markets through a 4-year partnership with Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine and addition of University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine to our student program customer list.
• Working with Yale University, patients at home are using Butterfly to scan their own bladder for bladder volume.
• Tightly managed our expenses in the quarter, informed by the better understanding of our strategic investment priorities.
• Implemented a plan for future cost savings of approximately $3 million per month when fully implemented, giving us an extended cash runway.

“This past quarter has been an important one for our progress and trajectory as an organization. Not only are we piloting the growth of a truly disruptive technology, we’re also at the heart of our evolution as a young public company – continuing to build upon the changes we made last year in how we operate, innovate and bring value to the healthcare ecosystem,” said Dr. Todd Fruchterman, Butterfly’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our team is laser-focused on making Butterfly Easy, Everywhere and Economical, embodied in a well-defined strategy to help us deliver our value to the global healthcare ecosystem.” Fruchterman continued, “These three core principles are how we will drive adoption and realize our vision. Mindful of what matters most to our customers and the long-term success of Butterfly, we were able to reduce our expenses in the quarter, informed by a better understanding of our strategic investment priorities.”

“To ensure our ability to achieve the Company’s mission at scale we also have adopted a plan to extend our cash runway,” Fruchterman added. “This plan includes improved efficiencies and targeted reductions in our workforce, aligned to our strategic priorities. The talent and mission-driven dedication of our team has made these decisions challenging on a personal level, but I am confident these changes strengthen our position to capture the value of our market leading innovation and set us up for a future where Butterfly is the standard of care, everywhere.”

The Company is reiterating its full year revenue guidance in the range of $83 to $88 million and increasing its Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a loss of $155 to $145 million from a loss of $195 to $175 million to reflect the impact of our capital preservation plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin. The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures in order to assist readers of its condensed consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results that its management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin, provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin are key performance measures that the Company’s management uses to assess our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures facilitate internal comparisons of the Company’s operating performance on a more consistent basis. The Company uses these performance measures for business planning purposes and forecasting. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial performance as they are useful in assessing its operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate these measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. When evaluating the Company’s performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including net loss, gross profit, and gross margin.

The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of the Company’s GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. In this press release, the Company has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, Adjusted gross profit to gross profit, and Adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the non-cash component of employee compensation expense, changes in its working capital needs, variances in its supply chain, the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of its ongoing operations, and other such items without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to financial results, future performance, commercialization and plans to deploy our products and services, development of products and services, and the size and potential growth of current or future markets for its products and services. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, including issues relating to Omicron or other variants; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; the Company’s ability to grow and manage growth profitably; the success, cost and timing of the Company’s product and service development activities; the potential attributes and benefits of the Company’s products and services; the degree to which our products and services are accepted by healthcare practitioners and patients for their approved uses; the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for its products, and any related restrictions and limitations of any approved product; the Company’s ability to identify, in-license or acquire additional technology; the Company’s ability to maintain its existing license, manufacture, supply and distribution agreements; manufacturing and supply of the Company’s products; the Company’s ability to compete with other companies currently marketing or engaged in the development of products and services that the Company is currently marketing or developing; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the size and growth potential of the markets for the Company’s products and services, and its ability to serve those markets, either alone or in partnership with others; the pricing of the Company’s products and services and reimbursement for medical procedures conducted using its products and services; the Company’s estimates regarding expenses, revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; the Company’s financial performance; the Company’s ability to raise financing in the future; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, or in subsequent filings that it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertake to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
