    Revenue for the First Quarter 2023

      Three Months Ended March 31,
    (Dollars in 000’s)  2023   2022  Year-over-Year % Change
    Nucleic Acid Production $61,451  $223,650  (72.5)%
    Biologics Safety Testing  17,574   20,643  (14.9)%
    Total Revenue $79,025  $244,293  (67.7)%
     

    First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

    Revenue for the first quarter was $79.0 million, representing a 68% decrease over the same period in the prior year and was driven by the following:

    • Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $61.5 million for the first quarter, representing a 73% decrease year-over-year. This includes an estimated $15.9 million of COVID-19 related CleanCap revenue for the first quarter, which was $157.0 million lower than the same period in the prior year as CleanCap demand from COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers decreased. Base Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $45.5 million for the first quarter.
    • Biologics Safety Testing revenue was $17.6 million for the first quarter, representing a 15% decrease year-over-year. The decline was primarily due to post-COVID inventory normalization by some customers and an ongoing slow return to work in China, which continued to impact demand for our HCP ELISA kits.

    Net loss and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were $(1.3) million and $23.8 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to net income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $146.9 million and $187.0 million, respectively, for the first quarter of the prior year.

    Updated Financial Guidance for 2023

    Our financial guidance for the full year 2023 is based on expectations for our 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.

    Total revenue for 2023 is projected to be in the range of $400.0 million to $440.0 million.

    Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is expected to be in the range of $155.0 million to $175.0 million.

    Adjusted fully diluted EPS (non-GAAP) is expected to be in the range of $0.27 to $0.33 per share. Adjusted fully diluted EPS (non-GAAP) is based on the assumption that all the units of Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC (paired with the corresponding shares of Class B common stock) are converted to shares of Class A common stock. The net income included in the Adjusted fully diluted EPS (non-GAAP) has been adjusted to eliminate the net income attributable to non-controlling interest as a result of the assumed full conversion of the units of Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC (paired with the corresponding shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock and is further adjusted for certain items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations. All such adjustments have been tax effected at the assumed statutory tax rate of 24%.

    Maravai cannot provide guidance for the most closely comparable GAAP measures or reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures included in the updated 2023 guidance above because we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities, and the diluted weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period from potential proforma exchanges of outstanding Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC units (paired with shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock. Thus, we are unable to present quantitative reconciliations of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available. However, 2023 interest expense is expected to be in the range of $18.0 million to $22.0 million, 2023 depreciation and amortization is expected to be in the range of $38.0 million to $42.0 million, and 2023 stock-based compensation is expected to be in the range of $34.0 million to $38.0 million.

    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).

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjustments to exclude, as applicable: (i) incremental costs incurred to execute and integrate completed acquisitions, and associated retention payments; (ii) non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation; (iii) expenses incurred for acquisitions that were pursued but not consummated (including legal, accounting and professional consulting services); (iv) transaction costs incurred for debt refinancings; (v) non-cash expense incurred on loss on extinguishment of debt; (vi) loss or (income) recognized during the applicable period due to changes in the tax receivable agreement liability; (vii) severance payments; (viii) legal settlement amounts; and (ix) inventory step-up charges in connection with completed acquisitions. We define Adjusted Net (Loss) Income as tax-effected earnings before the adjustments described above, and the tax effects of those adjustments. We define 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.

    We use these non-GAAP measures to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe the measures facilitate comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis between periods and, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, help provide a broader picture of factors and trends affecting our 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 our 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 our profitability. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our 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.

    Forward-looking Statements

    This press release contains, and our 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 our financial guidance for 2023; the supplemental value of non-GAAP measurements; the expansion of our product portfolio; our future business capabilities; the benefits of our expanded manufacturing capabilities; our ability to expand our customer base; our expectations for growth and profitability; the pipeline progression of our customers’ development programs; the expansion of base business opportunities; 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 our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our 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 our control. Our 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 our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

    • The extent and duration of our revenue associated with COVID-19 related products and services are uncertain and are dependent, in important respects, on factors outside of our control.
    • 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, could negatively impact, directly or indirectly our and our customers’ current and future business operations and our financial condition, revenue and earnings.
    • Certain of our products are used by customers in the production of vaccines and therapies, some of which represent relatively new and still-developing modes of treatment. Unforeseen adverse events, negative clinical outcomes, development of alternative therapies or increased regulatory scrutiny of these vaccines and therapies and their financial cost may damage public perception of the safety, utility, or efficacy of these vaccines and therapies or other modes of treatment and may harm our customers’ ability to conduct their business. Such events may negatively impact our revenue and have an adverse effect on our performance.
    • We are dependent on our customers’ spending on and demand for outsourced nucleic acid production and biologics safety testing products and services. A reduction in spending or demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
    • We compete with life science, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies who are substantially larger than we are and potentially capable of developing new approaches that could make our products, services and technology obsolete.
    • Ongoing geopolitical instability and the resulting economic disruption may negatively impact our business, operations and financial condition.
    • Our acquisitions expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of acquisitions of businesses or technologies.
    • We depend on a limited number of customers for a high percentage of our revenue. If we cannot maintain our current relationships with customers, fail to sustain recurring sources of revenue with our existing customers, or if we fail to enter into new relationships, our future operating results will be adversely affected.
    • We rely on a limited number of suppliers or, in some cases, sole suppliers, for some of our raw materials and may not be able to find replacements or immediately transition to alternative suppliers.
    • Such other factors as discussed throughout the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake 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.
