Butterfly Network Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Reports revenue in-line with guidance while reducing cash operating expense by 30%

Burlington, MA, and New York, NY, May 11, 2023 -- Butterfly Network, Inc. (NYSE: BFLY) (“Butterfly” or the “Company”), a digital health company transforming care with handheld, whole-body ultrasound, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and provided a business update.

Highlights

● Reported total revenue of $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, flat to the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

● Received FDA clearance of our groundbreaking, AI-enabled Auto B-Line Counter, which can empower providers to assess abnormal lung conditions easier, faster, and with more confidence.

● Initiated a multi-year roll out with High Quality Medical Education (“HQ Med Ed”), a nationally and internationally recognized Emergency Airway Management and point-of-care ultrasound (“POCUS”) organization based in Minnesota, to over 100 rural and critical access hospitals throughout the state, as part of a grant awarded to HQ Med Ed by the Helmsley Charitable Trust, aimed at improving access to exceptional medical treatment for all Minnesotans.

● A seminal paper was published in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, which demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of implementing a self-driven POCUS program in large animal teaching hospitals, utilizing Butterfly iQ Vet.

● Signed contracts with a large U.S. academic medical center to initiate clinical projects evaluating wide-scale deployment for clinical care and training initiatives that explore the use of Butterfly as a new standard of care for in-hospital patient management.

● The ACC Published its Ultrasound Workbook, which was inspired by an innovation partnership with Butterfly, to enhance the adoption and utilization of POCUS by cardiologists. Three key areas are addressed including cardiac, lung, and vascular bedside ultrasound as well as the value POCUS can provide in enhancing routine bedside physical examination. Now the ACC joins a growing list of professional societies acknowledging and supporting the evolution of bedside assessment to include POCUS.

● Signed a large new deployment in April with the largest medical school in the country to transform their care delivery across their medical school and health system.

Joe DeVivo, Butterfly’s Chairman and CEO commented, “I feel quite fortunate to join the family at Butterfly at such a critical time in its history. I want to thank Dr. Rothberg and the board for the opportunity and for the warm welcome I’ve received from the whole Butterfly team.”

“I’m excited to be a part of the disruption that will be caused by the democratization of medical imaging through a one-of-a-kind hardware enabled by AI tools. This technology will empower providers to help treat patients where they are,” Mr. DeVivo continued.

“Being a disrupter is never easy. It is always hard to predict the timing of customer and market adoption in the face of the massive opportunity it presents. I fully intend to lead Butterfly through this journey and capitalize on this market for our employees and investors.”  

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

First quarter total revenue of $15.5 million was flat from $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. Our U.S. direct sales channel saw a 15% increase led by software and other services as well as increases in our global health business. These increases were offset by lower eCommerce, International, and Vet.

Product revenue decreased 19.7% to $8.8 million from $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Software and other services revenue increased 45.4% to $6.6 million from $4.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Gross profit for the first quarter was $9.1 million, compared to gross profit of $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. Total gross margin for the first quarter was 58.7%, compared to 53.6% in the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to a higher average selling price, in addition to product mix, reflecting a higher proportion of subscription revenues. Also contributing to the increased margin was higher manufacturing productivity and other efficiencies. Offsetting these benefits was higher amortization which reduced margin by 560 basis points.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter were $44.1 million, compared to $57.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 23.7% primarily due to previously announced RIFs effectuated in August 2022 and January 2023 as well as non-payroll spend rationalization across R&D, S&M, and G&A. Total operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation and Other expense for the first quarter were $33.5 million, compared to $48.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing a decrease of 31%.

Net loss for the first quarter was $33.5 million, compared to a net loss of $44.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $22.3 million for the first quarter, compared to a loss of $39.7 millionin the first quarter of 2022.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $198 million as of March 31, 2023.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is provided in the financial schedules that are part of this press release. An explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measures based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company provides additional financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (“non-GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measure

included in this press release is adjusted EBITDA. 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 provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure 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 enhances an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial performance as it is 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate these measures in the same manner. Adjusted EBITDA is 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 alongside other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, including net loss.

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, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA 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 to 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

These forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
