T2 Biosystems Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
LEXINGTON, Mass., May 5, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)—T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leader in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing pathogens, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Recent Highlights
| • | Achieved first quarter total revenue of $2.5 million and product revenue of $1.0 million, representing an increase of 43% and a decrease of 20% respectively, compared to the prior year period |
| • | Executed a worldwide licensing agreement for COVID-19 assay design, to accelerate the development of the T2SARS-CoV-2 TM Panel for the T2Dx® Instrument |
| • | Received multiyear Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc., the largest healthcare group purchasing organization in the U.S., providing access and contracted pricing for the T2Dx Instrument, T2Candida® Panel and T2Bacteria® Panel |

“I am proud of my colleagues for their unwavering commitment to advancing our mission despite the difficulties created by the greatest public healthcare challenge of our lifetime. We continue to deliver our life-saving products to hospitals to aid in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing pathogens, which is essential given the susceptibility of COVID-19 patients to co-infections and secondary infections that can lead to sepsis,” said John Sperzel, President and CEO of T2 Biosystems. “We are fully committed to our 2020 priorities, which now include the development of a SARS-CoV-2 molecular diagnostic test, and have taken important steps to strengthen our balance sheet during the first quarter and to significantly reduce our operating expenses going forward.”
