Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
MENLO PARK, Calif., April 21, 2016 -- Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ:PACB) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2016 increased by 8% to $19.1 million compared to $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2015. Product and service revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $15.5 million, compared to $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. Revenue for the first quarter of each of 2016 and 2015 reflected $3.6 million of contractual revenue amortization from the upfront Roche payment pursuant to the Roche agreement.
Gross profit increased by $3.6 million to $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, resulting in a gross margin of 49.7%, compared to gross profit of $5.9 million and a gross margin of 33.6% for the first quarter of 2015. The growth in gross profit and margin was primarily driven by the higher margin sales of the company’s SequelTM System which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $28.1 million, compared to $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2015. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015 included non-cash stock-based compensation of $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
