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

MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (Nasdaq:PACB) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recognized revenue from deliveries of its third generation sequencing platform, the PacBio RS, SMRT® cell and reagent consumables, as well as revenue derived from instrument service contracts, totaling $10.5 million, compared to revenue recognized of $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net loss for the quarter increased to $29.3 million, including workforce reduction charges of $4.9 million, compared to the $22.5 million net loss recognized during the second quarter of 2011.

Gross profit for the third quarter totaled $3.3 million, resulting in a gross margin of 32%, compared to gross profit for the second quarter 2011 of $7.9 million and a gross margin of 74%. Gross margin for both the third and second quarter reflect the ongoing, but declining, margin positive impact of significant instrument component costs that 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 third quarter of 2011 totaled $20.0 million representing a 2% increase compared to $19.5 million for the second quarter. The reported expense includes non-cash stock-based compensation totaling $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the third and second quarters of 2011, respectively.

Selling, general, and administrative expense during the third quarter of 2011 totaled $12.8 million representing a 16% increase compared to $11.0 million for the second quarter. The reported expense includes non-cash stock-based compensation totaling $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the third and second quarters of 2011, respectively.

As announced on September 20, 2011, in consideration of uncertainties associated with the economic environment and to position the Company for long-term success, the Company implemented a reduction of approximately 28% of its total workforce. During the third quarter the Company recorded reduction related charges totaling $4.9 million, comprised primarily of personnel separation costs paid during the third quarter and those expected to be paid during the fourth quarter. Research and development and sales, general and administrative expenses for the quarter include workforce reduction related charges of $3.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Cash and investments at September 30, 2011 totaled $193.7 million compared to $216.6 million at June 30, 2011.
