Tempus AI (Tempus AI) announced that for the third quarter of 2024 (ended September 30), revenues were $180.929 million, a 33% increase over the same period last year. The company’s genomics and data services divisions showed particularly strong growth, with revenues of $1,164.22 million and $644.57 million, respectively; total revenues for the nine-month period reached $492.72 million, up from $384.1 million in the same period last year.
Meanwhile, net loss increased to $75.84 million, up from $53.42 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was -$21.8 million, an improvement from -$36.2 million in the same period last year, but still in the red.
On the financial side, the company has $388.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and has more than 12 months of working capital. However, the company is expected to remain in the red due to increased expenses associated with ongoing R&D investments and new business expansion. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $388.0 million. The increase from $166.6 million at the end of the previous year was due to proceeds from the IPO and the issuance of Series G-5 preferred stock. Long-term debt was $264.53 million, up slightly from $256.54 million at the end of the previous year.
