Results of Operations and Financial Conditions.
|
On October 10, 2024, Bionano Genomics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its preliminary financial results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2024. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information provided in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and it shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release filed herewith contain “forward-looking statements”within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “believe,” “can,” “could,” “may” “potential” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances and
the negatives thereof) convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes and are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses or
current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company’s expectations for third quarter 2024 revenue and potential impairments, write downs, and other non-cash or cash charges which may affect the Company’s third quarter 2024 financial
results.
Actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected or implied in these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include adjustments to our preliminary measures of financial performance resulting from, among other things, the completion of our end-of-period review and reporting processes; the impact of adverse geopolitical and
macroeconomic events, such as recent and future bank failures, the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, related sanctions and any global pandemics, on our business and the global economy; challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing and
commercializing products; our ability to further deploy new products and applications and expand the markets for our technology platforms; our expectations and beliefs regarding future growth of the business and the markets in which we operate;
changes in our strategic and commercial plans; our ability to continue as a going concern, which requires us to manage costs and obtain significant additional financing to fund our strategic plans and commercialization efforts; our ability to cure
any deficiencies in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules that could adversely affect our ability to raise capital and our financial condition and business; our ability to consummate any strategic alternatives; the risk that if we fail to obtain
additional financing we may seek relief under applicable insolvency laws; and other risks and uncertainties including those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including, without limitation, our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in other filings subsequently made by us with the SEC. All forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date on which they were made and are based on management’s
assumptions and estimates as of such date. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date they are made to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. You
should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date the statements are made. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for
the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
