Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ:PACB) today reported a 118% increase in revenue with $24.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Second quarter 2015 revenue includes product and service revenue of $11.3 million and $13.6 million of contractual revenue, while second quarter 2014 revenue includes product and service revenue of $9.7 million and $1.7 million of contractual revenue. Second quarter 2015 contractual revenue includes $10 million of milestone revenue and also reflects a higher quarterly amortization of the upfront Roche payment.

Gross profit increased $11.4 million to $14.5 million for the quarter, resulting in a gross margin of 58.2%, compared to gross profit of $3.1 million and a gross margin of 27.4% for the second quarter of 2014. The growth in gross profit and margin was driven by the additional $11.9 million Roche revenue at 100% margin.

Operating expenses totaled $25.9 million for the quarter, compared to $21.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. Operating expenses for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 included non-cash stock-based compensation of $3.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

The net loss for the quarter was $11.9 million, compared to $19.1 million for the second quarter of 2014.

Cash and investments at June 30, 2015 totaled $72.7 million, compared to $101.3 million at December 31, 2014.
