Updates since PacBio’s last earnings release
- Published the Platinum Pedigree benchmark in Nature Methods, the most known comprehensive family-based variant dataset to date, developed using PacBio HiFi sequencing. The benchmark improves AI-based variant calling accuracy and establishes a new standard for evaluating complex genomic variation.
- Joined the 1000 Genomes Long Read Project to contribute isoform-level transcriptome sequencing using the Kinnex RNA kit and Revio long-read sequencing system, expanding access to full-length isoform data across diverse populations.
- Expanded distribution in China through a new agreement with Haorui Gene, providing access to clinical lab networks and supporting the use of PacBio HiFi sequencing in clinical and research settings, with a focus on transfusion medicine and hematology.
- HiFi sequencing powered the first Arab human pangenome, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of genetic diversity in Middle Eastern populations and demonstrating the power of PacBio technology in large-scale population genomics.
“PacBio returned to both sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in the second quarter, while also continuing to reduce operating expenses and cash burn,” said Christian Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This performance reflects solid execution across the company, from disciplined cost management to growing adoption of our HiFi sequencing platforms. We’re especially encouraged by Revio’s momentum in clinical settings and Vega’s continued expansion into new markets. With our focus on innovation and operational efficiency, we believe PacBio is well-positioned for sustainable growth.”

Statement regarding use of non‐GAAP financial measures
PacBio reports non‐GAAP results for basic net income and loss per share, net income, net loss, gross margins, gross profit (loss) 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 and changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and further excludes infrequent and limited charges including impairment charges, restructuring related expenses for discrete restructuring events and benefits from income taxes.
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, but not limited to, statements relating to PacBio’s 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; continued reception of PacBio’s products and their expansion into new or existing markets; developments affecting our industry and the markets in which we compete, including the impact of new products and technologies and tariffs; 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. 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, but not limited to, 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 new, increased or enhanced tariffs and export restrictions; 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.
