Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $74.1 million, representing a 64% decrease over the same period in the prior year and was driven by the following:

  • Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $58.8 million for the fourth quarter, representing a 69% decrease year-over-year. This includes an estimated $18.4 million of COVID-19 related CleanCap revenue for the fourth quarter, which was $105.2 million lower than the same period in the prior year. CleanCap demand from COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers has decreased since its peak in the second quarter of 2022 as the pandemic subsided and as a result of unused inventory of Maravai products that customers have on hand. Base Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $40.5 million for the fourth quarter, which was $25.2 million lower than the same period in the prior year as we saw challenging industry conditions, customers continuing to focus on capital conservation and heightened competition in certain areas.
  • Biologics Safety Testing revenue was $15.3 million for the fourth quarter, representing a 1% decrease year-over-year.

Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were $(110.0) million and $20.5 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to net income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $87.4 million and $129.8 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $288.9 million, representing a 67% decrease over the same period in the prior year and was driven by the following:

  • Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $224.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing a 72% decrease year-over-year. This includes an estimated $60.8 million of COVID-19 related CleanCap revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was $539.0 million lower than the prior year as CleanCap demand from COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers decreased for the reasons discussed above. Base Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $164.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was $49.3 million lower than the prior year for the reasons cited above.
  • Biologics Safety Testing revenue was $64.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing an 8% decrease year-over-year.

Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were $(138.4) million and $65.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $490.7 million and $637.8 million, respectively, for the prior year.

Financial Guidance for 2024

Maravai’s financial guidance for the full year 2024 is based on expectations for its existing business and does not include the financial impact of potential new acquisitions, if any, or items that have not yet been identified or quantified. This guidance is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those identified in “Forward-looking Statements” below.

Revenue for 2024 is projected to be in the range of $265.0 million to $285.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) margins are expected to be in the range of 23% to 25%.

As it relates to forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA margin, Maravai cannot provide guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP measure or a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain significant reconciling items without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures include: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted fully diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS).

Maravai defines Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjustments to exclude, as applicable: (i) fair value adjustments to acquisition contingent consideration; (ii) incremental costs incurred to execute and integrate completed acquisitions, and associated retention payments; (iii) non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation; (iv) expenses incurred for acquisitions that were pursued but not consummated (including legal, accounting and professional consulting services); (v) transaction costs incurred for debt refinancings; (vi) non-cash expense associated with adjustments to the carrying value of the indemnification asset recorded in connection with completed acquisitions; (vii) non-cash expense incurred on loss on extinguishment of debt; (viii) loss or (income) recognized during the applicable period due to changes in the tax receivable agreement liability; (ix) CEO transition related costs; (x) restructuring costs; (xi) severance payments; (xii) legal settlement amounts; and (xiii) inventory step-up charges in connection with completed acquisitions. Maravai defines Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as tax-effected earnings before the adjustments described above, and the tax effects of those adjustments. Maravai defines Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net (Loss) Income divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period, which assumes the proforma exchange of all outstanding units of Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC (paired with shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock.

These non-GAAP measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net (loss) income, as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to understand and evaluate Maravai’s core operating performance and trends and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. Management believes the measures facilitate comparison of Maravai’s operating performance on a consistent basis between periods and, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, helps provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting Maravai’s results of operations.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of Maravai’s results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, they should not be considered as a replacement for net (loss) income, as determined by GAAP, or as a measure of Maravai’s profitability. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on Maravai’s GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Conference Call and Webcast

Maravai’s management will host a conference call today at 2:00 p.m. PT/ 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2023. Approximately 10 minutes before the call, dial (888) 596-4144 or (646) 968-2525 and reference Maravai LifeSciences, Conference ID 4939675. The call will also be available via live or archived webcast on the "Investors" section of the Maravai web site at https://investors.maravai.com/.

Forward-looking Statements 

This press release contains, and Maravai’s officers and representatives may from time-to-time make, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that statements in this press release which are not strictly historical statements constitute forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding Maravai’s financial guidance for 2024; the expansion of Maravai’s product portfolio; the progression of the development programs of Maravai’s customers; future business opportunities; the size of Maravai’s serviceable market; Maravai’s expectations for growth and profitability; growth opportunities, including inorganic growth; and future innovations, constitute forward-looking statements and are identified by words like “believe,” “expect,” “see,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “anticipate,” or “could” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of Maravai’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of management’s control. Maravai’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause Maravai’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

  • The level of Maravai’s customers’ spending on and demand for outsourced nucleic acid production and biologics safety testing products and services.
  • Uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of Maravai’s revenue associated with COVID-19 related products and services and the dependency of such revenue, in important respects, on factors outside of Maravai’s control.
  • The impact of ongoing macroeconomic challenges and changes in economic conditions, including adverse developments affecting banks and financial institutions, follow-on effects of those events and related systemic pressures, on Maravai’s and its customers’ current and future business operations.
  • The effects of Maravai’s recent reduction in force, including on its ability to attract and/or retain qualified key personnel.
  • Use of Maravai’s products by customers in the production of vaccines and therapies, some of which represent relatively new and still-developing modes of treatment, and the impact of unforeseen adverse events, negative clinical outcomes, development of alternative therapies or increased regulatory scrutiny of these modes of treatment and their financial cost on Maravai’s customers’ use of Maravai’s products and services.
  • Competition with life science, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies who are substantially larger than Maravai and potentially capable of developing new approaches that could make Maravai’s products, services and technology obsolete.
  • The potential failure of Maravai’s products and services to not perform as expected and the reliability of the technology on which its products and services are based.
  • The risk that Maravai’s products do not comply with required quality standards.
  • Market acceptance of Maravai’s life science reagents.
  • Significant fluctuations and unpredictability in Maravai’s quarterly and annual operating results, which make its future operating results difficult to predict and could cause its operating results to fall below expectations or any guidance provided.
  • Natural disasters, geopolitical instability (including the ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip) and other catastrophic events.
  • Risks related to Maravai’s acquisitions, including whether Maravai achieves the anticipated benefits of acquisitions of businesses or technologies.
  • Product liability lawsuits.
  • Maravai’s dependency on a limited number of customers for a high percentage of its revenue and its ability to maintain its current relationships with such customers.
  • Maravai’s reliance on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole suppliers, for some of its raw materials and the risk that it may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers.
  • The risk that Maravai’s products become subject to more onerous regulation by the FDA or other regulatory agencies in the future.
  • Maravai’s ability to obtain, maintain and enforce sufficient intellectual property protection for its current or future products.
  • Such other factors as discussed throughout the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents Maravai files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statements made in this release are based only on information currently available to management and speak only as of the date on which it is made. Maravai undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
