Quantum-Si reports Q3 EPS (18c), consensus (19c)

Reports Q3 revenue $787K, consensus $1.08M.”We are pleased to see continued adoption of Platinum across multiple market segments, including academic research, pharma/biotech and most recently, adoption by our first customer from the contract research organization market. Under the leadership of our new CCO, there has been clear improvement in commercial execution and the overall acceleration of our sales pipeline,” said Jeff Hawkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum-Si (QSI). “Even with this acceleration, we, like others in the tools space, have observed some lengthening of the sales cycle in the third quarter, making it likely that we will not achieve our full year guided revenue range of $3.7 million to $4.2 million. We have clear strategies in place that we believe will allow us to get as close to the guidance range as possible and despite the potential short fall, we remain very confident in the long-term commercial opportunity for Platinum and the growth of the proteomics market in general. We are excited for the future and believe that we will continue to deliver solid quarter over quarter growth as we move forward.” Hawkins continued, “In addition, we continue to execute on our innovation roadmap and are on track to deliver two new kits by end of the year, which we believe will continue to drive broader market adoption. We are looking forward to revealing more details on our exciting technology roadmap and expanding commercial opportunities at our upcoming Investor Day on November 20th.”
