MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (Nasdaq:PACB) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $6.0 million, compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. Revenue reflected the installation of three PacBio RS II systems, compared to three systems in the first quarter of 2013, SMRT® Cell and reagent consumables and instrument service contracts. Net loss for the quarter was $20.5 million, compared to $21.1 million during the first quarter of 2013. 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.1 million, resulting in a gross margin of 18%, compared to gross profit of $0.9 million and a resulting gross margin of 17% for the first quarter of 2013.  

Operating expenses totaled $21.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $21.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2013 included $2.3 million of non-cash stock-based compensation compared to $2.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation in the first quarter of 2013.

Cash and investments at June 30, 2013 totaled $107.0 million compared to $112.3 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease in cash and investments during the period reflects cash use of $16.6 million partially offset by $11.3 million of cash received from the sale of stock.

The Company added seven PacBio RS II instrument bookings during the quarter and ended the quarter with 10 instruments in backlog.
