Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

August 4, 2011 at 4:00 PM EDT

MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 4, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (Nasdaq:PACB) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results:

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company began recognizing revenue from the initial commercial deliveries of its third generation sequencing platform, the PacBio RS. Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $10.6 million, reflecting the delivery of 16 commercial PacBio RS instruments to customers, initial revenue from commercial shipments of the Company's SMRT cell and reagent consumables, as well as revenue derived from instrument service contracts. Net loss decreased to $22.5 million as compared to the $34.8 million loss recognized for the first quarter of 2011.

"The second quarter of 2011 marks a significant milestone as PacBio has now delivered the first third generation sequencing platform to the market," noted Hugh Martin, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "Researchers in North America and Europe are now armed with a technology that will enable insights into genomic research not previously possible."

Gross profit for the second quarter totaled $7.9 million, resulting in a gross margin of 74%. Gross margin for the quarter was substantially higher than we expect to achieve in the future due to the fact that significant costs associated with the instruments sold during the second quarter were expensed during prior periods. During development, costs relating to instrument components and manufacturing costs were expensed until commercial production started.

Research and development expense during the second quarter of 2011 totaled $19.5 million representing a 19% decrease compared to $24.1 million for the first quarter. The reported expense includes non-cash stock-based compensation totaling $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the second and first quarters of 2011, respectively.

Selling, general, and administrative expense during the second quarter of 2011 of $11.0 million remained consistent with the $11.1 million for the first quarter. The reported expense includes non-cash stock-based compensation totaling $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the second and first quarters of 2011, respectively.

Cash and investments at June 30, 2011 totaled $216.6 million compared to $248.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Highlights

  • Commercial shipments of the PacBio RS commenced in April resulting in successful customer installation and upgrades of beta instruments at customer sites.
  • We completed a de novo sequencing of the E.coli strain responsible for the recent outbreak in Germany and sequenced 11 related bacterial strains using an early version of chemistry and software in development for the next major product upgrade, planned for the fourth quarter.
