Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

MENLO PARK, Calif., April 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (Nasdaq:PACB) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recognized revenue from installations of its PacBio RS systems, SMRT® Cell and reagent consumables, instrument service contracts and grants. Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $5.6 million compared to revenue of $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net loss for the quarter was $21.1 million compared to the $21.7 million net loss during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $0.9 million, resulting in a gross margin of 17%, compared to a $0.6 million gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 and a gross margin of 11%.

Operating expenses totaled $21.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $22.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 include $2.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation with $1.2 million and $1.4 million recorded in research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, compared to $2.5 million in non-cash stock-based compensation in the fourth quarter of 2012 with $1.2 million and $1.3 million in research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.

Cash and investments at March 31, 2013 totaled $112.3 million compared to $100.6 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in cash and investments during the period reflects $28.5 million provided by debt and equity financing activities offset by operating cash and investment use of $16.8 million.
