- Collaborated with automation providers Hamilton, Integra, Revvity, and Tecan to create fully automated sample preparation protocols for Revio and Sequel II/IIe systems.
- Collaborated with GeneDx and the University of Washington to study the potential capabilities of HiFi long-read WGS to increase diagnostic rates in pediatric patients with genetic conditions.
- Announced PacBio Capital, a program that allows customers greater flexibility and a streamlined process for leasing PacBio sequencing systems.
- Appointed David Meline, former CFO of Moderna Inc., Amgen Inc., and 3M Company, to PacBio’s Board of Directors.
"PacBio had another successful quarter as we continued to drive Revio adoption and exceeded $50 million in quarterly revenue for the first time in company history," said Christian Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also had record consumable revenue in the quarter, with Revio consumables exceeding Sequel II/IIe consumables, underscoring our customers’ enthusiasm and ability to ramp up sequencing volumes on the new platform. Additionally, we shipped the first Onso systems, and I’m encouraged by the initial customer reception of the platform and the Sequencing by Binding chemistry."

Statement regarding use of non‐GAAP 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. 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. Certain intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and its amortization will recur 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.
