Ltd.'s oligonucleotide synthesis facility in India to manufacture the Company's patented Co-Primers® chemistry Attended a number of trade shows and expos throughout 2024, including UHCA/UCAL Fall Convention & Expo, Medlab Africa in Cape Town, and MEDICA Trade Fair in Germany Inaugurated a new manufacturing facility in South Salt Lake to manufacture our patented Co-Primers oligonucleotides, the Co-Dx™ PCR Pro™ instrument, and test cups for the new Co-Dx PCR platform Advanced regulatory strategy through completion of an initial 510(k) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Co-Dx™ PCR Pro™ Platform, which has subsequently been withdrawn with the intention of submitting an enhanced version of the test and instrument for 510(k) clearance "We are pleased by the progress of our pipeline development in 2024," said Dwight Egan, Co-Diagnostics' Chief Executive Officer. "We recently announced our decision to withdraw our 510(k) application for the Co-Dx PCR Pro and Co-Dx PCR COVID-19 test from the FDA, as we now prepare to gather updated clinical data in support of a new submission for an enhanced version of the test and instrument. We firmly believe that this decision will allow us to offer an even better test upon our initial launch and streamline the associated operational and manufacturing processes, which will be leveraged for future commercialization plans across our development pipeline. Elsewhere, we have made great progress on our tuberculosis test and anticipate clinical evaluations for this indication, as well as for the HPV multiplex and upper respiratory multiplex tests, all to commence later this year. We remain well positioned to execute our development and regulatory goals in 2025 and strongly believe in the potential of the platform, our people, and the company to make a positive impact on the state of global health." "We are pleased with how our progress in 2024 has moved us closer to commercializing the new platform, and are now actively focused on achieving our 2025 goals. As we advance our diagnostic test pipeline, we are committed to generating operational efficiencies to help offset development costs. We look forward to updating you on our further progress throughout the year," said Brian Brown, Co-Diagnostics' Chief Financial Officer.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release contains adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, income tax (benefit) expense, net interest (income) expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and realized gain on investments. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The Company's management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Management does not consider the non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of the non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents the non-GAAP financial measure together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of the net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, is included at the end of this release. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business.
