Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Revenue Increases by 80% Over Same Period in Previous Year

MENLO PARK, Calif., Nov. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ:PACB) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2016 totaled $25.1 million, up 80% compared to $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2015. Product and service revenue for the third quarter of 2016 increased by 109% to $21.5 million, compared to $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2015. Revenue for the third quarter of each of 2016 and 2015 reflected $3.6 million of amortization of the upfront payment pursuant to the Company’s development, commercialization and license agreement with F.
