Know Labs, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Results

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Know Labs, Inc. (NYSE American: KNW), an emerging developer of non-invasive medical diagnostic technology, today reported financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

Financial Highlights:

  • Consolidated revenues were $4.360 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
  • Research and development expense was $5.386 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $3.970 million in 2021. The increase in R&D was related to staff increases in engineering, third party technical services, and expenditures related to the development of the Company’s Bio-RFID technology, as the Company continues to execute its path to FDA clinical trials and commercialization.
  • Non-GAAP net loss as adjusted for the fiscal year was $7.929 million, a slight increase of $270,000 compared to the prior year. 2022 GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.50 per share as compared to a loss of $0.86 per share during 2021.
  • Current assets for the fiscal year stood at $12.594 million versus current liabilities of $3.810 million, for a current ratio of 3.61 in 2022 versus a current ratio of 1.17 in 2021.
  • As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents equaled $12.594 million, as compared with $12.258 million in 2021. Net cash used in operations for the 2022 fiscal year was $6.920 million, as compared to $6.851 million in 2021. We believe our cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations through December 31, 2023.
  • Shareholder equity was $9.862 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $1.242 million in 2021.

About Know Labs, Inc.

Know Labs, Inc. is a public company whose shares trade on the NYSE American Exchange under the stock symbol “KNW.” The Company’s technology uses spectroscopy to direct electromagnetic energy through a substance or material to capture a unique molecular signature. The Company refers to its technology as Bio-RFID™. The Bio-RFID technology can be integrated into a variety of wearable, mobile or bench-top form factors. This patented and patent-pending technology makes it possible to effectively identify and monitor analytes that could only previously be performed by invasive and/or expensive and time-consuming lab-based tests. The first application of our Bio-RFID technology will be in a product marketed as a non-invasive glucose monitor. It will provide the user with real-time information on blood glucose levels. This product will require U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance prior to its introduction to the market.
