Recent company updates

Announced the launch of Revio™, a revolutionary new long-read sequencing system capable of delivering up to 1,300 human genomes per year with 30x coverage at under $1,000 per genome. We expect to begin shipping Revio in the first quarter of 2023.
Introduced the Onso™ short-read sequencing system based on SBB (Sequencing by Binding) chemistry, which is expected to provide a 10-fold improvement in accuracy compared with other commercially available systems. We expect to begin shipping Onso in the first half of 2023.
Launched the MAS-Seq kit in partnership with the Broad Institute and 10x Genomics to enable cost-effective, long-read, single-cell RNA sequencing for a more complete interrogation of the transcriptome.
Collaborated with Twist Bioscience to launch a portfolio of off-the-shelf long-read gene panels designed to capture target regions in a cost-effective and high throughput manner.
Unveiled TGRT, a new computational analysis method for profiling more than a million tandem repeats across the human genome and enables scientists to better understand the role of tandem repeats in human disease.
Created the Scientific Advisory Board, bringing together a group of renowned scientific experts to provide critical feedback, advice, and expertise on future technological and scientific direction.
Partnered with leading researchers to create the Consortium for Long Read Sequencing (CoLoRS), an open coalition of international researchers focused on cataloging and providing frequency information for all classes of variation found within the human genome, using long-read whole genome sequencing.
Shipped our 1,000^th sequencer since the launch of the RS sequencing platform in 2011.

"It's a historical moment at PacBio as we prepare the launch of two new, groundbreaking sequencing platforms in the first half of 2023," said Christian Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Revio^TM, our new long-read sequencing system, can enable scientists to sequence thousands of complete whole genomes economically. Onso^TM, our first short-read sequencing platform, has the potential to provide industry-leading accuracy allowing researchers to interrogate biology at unprecedented levels. We believe customer anticipation of a new long-read platform drove delays in instrument purchases; however, we were encouraged by their feedback and excitement for both platforms and how these systems can accelerate their research. I'm also looking forward to sharing more details regarding Revio and Onso at our first Investor Day in New York City next week."

Statement regarding use of non‐GAAP financial measures

The Company reports non‐GAAP results for basic and diluted net income and loss per share, net income, net loss, gross margins, gross profit and operating expenses in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or because it believes that such information is superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

The Company's financial measures under GAAP include substantial charges such as merger related expenses, and others that are listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures included in this press release. The amortization of intangible assets excluded from GAAP financial measures relates to acquired intangible assets that were recorded as part of purchase accounting last year. Such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and its amortization will recur in future periods until they are fully amortized. Management has excluded the effects of these items in non‐GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance. In addition, management uses non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark its performance externally against competitors.

The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non‐GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
