Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter was $204.8 million, representing a 133% increase over the same period in the prior year and was driven by the following:

Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $182.9 million for the third quarter, representing a 170% increase year-over-year. The increase in Nucleic Acid Production revenue was the result of continued strong demand for our proprietary CleanCap® analogs as COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers scaled production and increased demand for mRNA products as this technology becomes incorporated into more therapeutic and vaccine programs.
Biologic Safety Testing revenue was $16.6 million for the third quarter, representing an 18% increase year-over-year. Due to the breadth of our global product offerings supporting cell and gene therapies, biosimilars and biologics development programs, there continues to be strong demand for our products.
Protein Detection revenue was $5.3 million for the third quarter, representing a 13% decrease year-over-year. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of Vector Laboratories, Inc. (Vector), which was completed in early September.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were $132.8 million and $156.0 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $39.0 million and $57.8 million for the third quarter of the prior year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $570.8 million, representing a 207% increase over the same period in the prior year and was driven by the following:

Nucleic Acid Production revenue was $499.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing a 288% increase year-over-year.
Biologic Safety Testing revenue was $52.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing a 29% increase year-over-year.
Protein Detection revenue was $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, representing a 16% increase year-over-year.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) were $343.0 million and $422.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $64.3 million and $104.8 million for the same period last year.

Environmental, Social and Governance Report

The Company has published its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which highlights the Company’s commitment to a sustainable and equitable impact for its various stakeholders.

The ESG report highlights global efforts in four key areas: Environment, Human Capital, Business Model and Innovation and Community Relations. The full report is available on the Investor Relations section of the Maravai website at: https://investors.maravai.com/esg.

Updated Financial Guidance for 2021

Our updated financial guidance for the full year 2021 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. Guidance does include revenue contribution from our Protein Detection business from January 2021 through the closing of the sale to Thompson Street Capital Partners, which occurred in the third quarter of 2021.

Total revenue for 2021 is projected to be in the range of $770.0 million to $780.0 million, reflecting overall growth of 171% to 175%.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is expected to be in the range of $570.0 million to $575.0 million.

Adjusted fully diluted EPS (non-GAAP) is expected to be in the range of $1.48 - $1.52 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 Class A shares. 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 midpoint of an assumed statutory tax rate range of 23% to 24%.

Maravai cannot provide guidance for the most closely comparable GAAP measures or reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures included in the updated 2021 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 a quantitative reconciliation 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, 2021 interest expense is expected to be in the range of $34.0 million to $35.0 million, 2021 depreciation and amortization is expected to be in the range of $28.0 million to $29.0 million, and 2021 equity-based compensation is expected to be in the range of $11.0 million to $12.0 million.

Preliminary Revenue Guidance for 2022

Maravai is providing preliminary revenue guidance for 2022. This guidance for the full year 2022 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.

Total revenue for 2022 is projected to be in the range of $840.0 million to $880.0 million, reflecting overall growth at the midpoints of 11% and 14% before and after adjusting for the divestiture of our Protein Detection Business, respectively.

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 income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjustments to exclude, as applicable: (i) incremental costs incurred to execute and integrate completed acquisitions; (ii) amortization of lease facility financing obligations; (iii) charges for in-process research and development associated with completed acquisitions; (iv) non-cash expenses related to share-based compensation; (v) gain on sale of business; (vi) gain on sale and leaseback transaction; (vii) expenses incurred for acquisitions that were not consummated (including legal, accounting and professional consulting services); (viii) transaction costs incurred for the initial public offering and debt refinancing; (ix) GTCR management fees; and (x) loss (income) recognized during the applicable period due to changes in the tax receivable agreement liability. We define Adjusted Net 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 Income divided by the diluted weighted average number 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 is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and that does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net 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, helps 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 it 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 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 2021, our preliminary guidance for 2022, the strength of our business momentum and expectations for continued robust growth in our Nucleic Acid Production business, the effects of the sale of our Protein Detection business, the increases in capacity and operational expansion expected to result from new and additional facilities, constitute forward-looking statements and are identified by words like “believe,” “expect,” “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:

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, 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 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.
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, 2020, as well as other documents on 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.
