Bionano has not completed preparation of its financial statements for the fourth quarter or full year of 2022. The revenue ranges presented in this press release for the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2022 are preliminary and unaudited, based on management’s initial review of the information presented, and are thus inherently uncertain and subject to change as Bionano completes its end-of-period reporting process and related activities for the fourth quarter of and full year 2022. Bionano is in the process of completing its customary year-end close and review procedures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and there can be no assurance that final results for this period will not differ from these estimates. During the course of the preparation of Bionano’s consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, Bionano’s independent registered public accountants may identify items that could cause final reported results to be materially different from the preliminary financial estimates presented herein. Additional information and disclosures would be required for a more complete understanding of Bionano’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the fourth quarter and year-ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on this preliminary information.
