Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ:PACB) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $20.7 million, compared to $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2015. Product and service revenue for the second quarter of 2016 increased by 51% to $17.1 million, compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2015.  Contractual revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $3.6 million, compared to $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2015. Both quarters reflected $3.6 million of amortization of the upfront payment pursuant to the Company’s development, commercialization and license agreement with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd (the “Roche Agreement”). Second quarter 2015 contractual revenue also included $10.0 million of milestone revenue from the Roche Agreement.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $10.6 million, resulting in a gross margin of 51.3%, compared to gross profit of $14.5 million and a gross margin of 58.2% for the second quarter of 2015. The gross profit and margin for the second quarter of 2015 included $10.0 million of milestone revenue from the Roche Agreement at a 100% margin. Excluding this milestone revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the second quarter of 2016 increased significantly over the same period in 2015 primarily as a result of the higher margin sales of the Company’s SequelTM System which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $28.7 million, compared to $25.9 million for the second quarter of 2015. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 included non-cash stock-based compensation of $4.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $18.5 million, compared to $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Cash and investments at June 30, 2016 totaled $102.5 million, compared to $82.3 million at December 31, 2015
