Total revenues for the third quarter 2021 were $9.4 million, a 5% increase from $9.0 million in the third quarter 2020. Excluding Sample Transport, revenues for the third quarter 2021 were $9.3 million, a 26% increase from $7.4 million in the third quarter 2020.
Gross profit for the third quarter 2021 was $4.3 million, compared to $5.1 million in the third quarter 2020. Gross margin for the third quarter 2021 was 45.4% of revenue, compared to 56.6% of revenue in the third quarter 2020. The Company continued to make investments in manufacturing capacity and related infrastructure in anticipation of increases in future demand, which negatively impacted gross margins in 2021.
Operating expenses for the third quarter 2021 were $8.2 million, compared to $2.9 million in the third quarter 2020. The increase was driven by new hires in the research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative functions needed to support new product development efforts, develop commercial presence and improve customer support, and to build the infrastructure necessary to support the Company’s growth strategy.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter 2021 was $3.3 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.3 million, or $0.07 per share, for the third quarter 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2021 was negative $2.7 million, compared to positive $2.7 million for the third quarter 2020. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was negative $6.6 million in the third quarter 2021, compared to positive $1.7 million the third quarter 2020, reflecting continued capital investment in manufacturing operations.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $98.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Teknova uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of our business and the effectiveness of our business strategies: (a) Adjusted EBITDA and (b) Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
Teknova defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance.
Teknova defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures.
Teknova presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in this press release because Teknova believes analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use these measures to evaluate companies in our industry and that such measures facilitate comparisons on a consistent basis across reporting periods. Further, Teknova believes such measures are helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because they exclude items that are not indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Teknova may in the future incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. In particular, Teknova expects to incur meaningful share-based compensation expense in the future. Other limitations include the following, which Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow do not reflect:
- all expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- changes in our working capital needs;
- provision for income taxes, which may be a necessary element of our costs and ability to operate;
- the costs of replacing the assets being depreciated, which will often have to be replaced in the future;
- the non-cash component of employee compensation expense; and
- the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be reflective, on a recurring basis, of our ongoing operations.
In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries.
A full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of this release.
