Updates since PacBio's last earnings release

  • Announced SPRQ chemistry for the Revio sequencing system, increasing throughput by 33% and enabling sub-$500 whole genome sequencing. This advancement raises Revio’s capacity to 2,500 human genomes per year while reducing DNA input requirements fourfold to 500ng, allowing more samples to be sequenced on the platform. The update also enhances and expands methylation detection capabilities.
  • Unveiled Vega™, a new long-read benchtop sequencer offering customers the extraordinary data accuracy of HiFi technology and a fast turnaround time, with simplified and integrated consumables delivering up to 60 gigabases per run, all at a U.S. list price of $169,000 per system.
  • Introduced the SMRT Link Cloud software, expected to be available in early 2025, allowing customers to access, store, and analyze their HiFi data without local hardware, making it easier for new and existing customers to ramp up their PacBio sequencing.
  • Collaborated with the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR) and Macrogen to open a state-of-the-art joint laboratory in Singapore, providing the local research community with access to cutting-edge long-read sequencing technology and support for the National Precision Medicine (NPM) program's long-read sequencing needs.
  • Announced the formation of the HiFi Solves Sub-fertility Consortium, which unites leading experts and leverages HiFi sequencing technology alongside DNAstack’s federated data platform to advance the diagnosis and treatment of subfertility and recurrent pregnancy loss.
  • Partnered with the University Hospital of Münster to use long-read whole genome sequencing in advancing research on male infertility and rare diseases.
  • Joined the 10x Genomics Compatible Partner Program, expanding the range of applications Onso can address, particularly in the fast-growing fields of single-cell and spatial biology.
  • Signed a Research Collaboration Agreement with the National Cancer Centre of Singapore to use Onso to profile the genomic landscape of prevalent cancers in Asia.
  • Announced a private convertible note exchange transaction of $459 million principal amount of 1.50% convertible Senior Notes due 2028, meaningfully reducing and extending the duration of our long-term debt while balancing shareholder dilution and impact to our cash, which is anticipated to close on or about November 21, 2024.

"While PacBio continued to operate in a difficult macro environment for capital purchases in the third quarter, we saw several positive signs that lead us to believe that we are on the path to return to growth in 2025 and beyond," said Christian Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We're seeing sequential growth in consumables with growing sequencing data output, continued Revio adoption from new customers, and a record quarter for Onso. Meanwhile, we continue to decrease our cash burn and remain committed to our goal of being cashflow positive exiting 2026. Additionally, we’re strengthening our balance sheet by reducing our total debt while balancing dilution through our recently announced note exchange with SoftBank. With the launch of our SPRQ chemistry and the Vega benchtop system, PacBio is delivering on its strategy to bring a suite of advanced platforms and solutions to the market and expand HiFi's ability to reach more customers than ever before.”

Statement regarding use of nonGAAP financial measures

PacBio reports non‐GAAP results for basic and diluted net income and loss per share, net income, net loss, gross margins, gross profit and operating expenses in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or because it believes that such information is superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. PacBio believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of PacBio’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

PacBio's financial measures under GAAP include substantial charges that are listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures included in this press release. PacBio excludes recurring charges from its non-GAAP financial statements, including amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and restructuring related expenses, and further excludes infrequent and limited charges including impairment charges and gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt. The amortization of acquired intangible assets excluded from GAAP financial measures relates to acquired intangible assets that were recorded as part of the purchase accounting during the year ended December 31, 2021. The amortization related to these intangible assets will occur in future periods until they are fully amortized.

Management has excluded the effects of these items in non‐GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance. In addition, management uses non-GAAP measures to compare PacBio’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark its performance externally against competitors.

PacBio encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non‐GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. A reconciliation of PacBio’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. PacBio is unable to reconcile future-looking non-GAAP guidance included in this press release without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact this measure are out of PacBio's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including statements relating to PacBio’s note exchange transaction and its anticipated financial impact and closing timing; cost-saving plans and initiatives as well as the expected financial impact and timing of these plans and initiatives; PacBio’s financial guidance and expectations for future periods; developments affecting our industry and the markets in which we compete, including the impact of new products and technologies; anticipated future customer use of our products; and the availability, uses, accuracy, coverage, advantages, quality or performance of, or benefits or expected benefits of using, PacBio products or technologies; and, the impact of new products and technologies. Reported results and orders for any instrument system should not be considered an indication of future performance. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from currently anticipated results, including, challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, launching, marketing and selling new products, and achieving anticipated new sales; potential cancellation of existing instrument orders; assumptions, risks and uncertainties related to the ability to attract new customers and retain and grow sales from existing customers; risks related to PacBio's ability to successfully execute and realize the benefits of acquisitions; the impact of U.S. export restrictions on the shipment of PacBio products to certain countries; rapidly changing technologies and extensive competition in genomic sequencing; unanticipated increases in costs or expenses; interruptions or delays in the supply of components or materials for, or manufacturing of, PacBio products and products under development; potential product performance and quality issues and potential delays in development timelines; the possible loss of key employees, customers, or suppliers; customers and prospective customers curtailing or suspending activities using PacBio's products; third-party claims alleging infringement of patents and proprietary rights or seeking to invalidate PacBio's patents or proprietary rights; risks associated with international operations; and other risks associated with general macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical instability. Additional factors that could materially affect actual results can be found in PacBio's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including PacBio's most recent reports on Forms 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q, and include those listed under the caption “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date hereof; except as required by law, PacBio disclaims any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances in the future, even if new information becomes available.
