Complete Genomics Reports Results for Second Quarter 2011

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Complete Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq:GNOM) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Results

  • The company recognized revenue for over 900 human genomes
  • Revenue of $5.9 million compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010
  • Costs and operating expenses were $20.8 million compared to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2010
  • Net loss was $16.0 million compared to $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2010

"In addition to our second quarter results, we are announcing important contracts with the National Cancer Institute/SAIC-Frederick and the Inova Translational Medicine Institute (part of the Inova Health System, a large, Virginia based hospital network). Together, these contracts represent approximately $14 million in services," said Dr. Clifford Reid, chairman, president and CEO of Complete Genomics. "Including these two contracts, which call for the delivery of an aggregate of 2,700 genomes, we have booked orders for approximately $30 million and 5,700 genomes from the beginning of the year through July 31, 2011."

"Leaders in genetic research and translational medicine are embracing our sequencing service as a reliable, fast and cost-effective means to obtain sequenced genomic data for complete human genomes," Dr. Reid continued. "We continue to anticipate shipment of genomic data for over 4,000 genomes in 2011. We also continue to expect variability in our quarterly shipments as a result of the timing of receipt of DNA samples from our customers."

In 2011, the company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2009-13. Contracts signed in 2011 are accounted for as containing multiple elements. Revenue for genomes associated with contracts signed in 2011 will be recognized in two parts, first for data delivery, and secondly, for post delivery analytical support and service. Approximately $0.2 million of revenue was deferred from the second quarter of 2011 as a result of ASU 2009-13.

In the second quarter of 2011 the company recorded $6.1 million for costs of services, compared to $4.9 million for start-up production costs in the second quarter of 2010. Research and development expenses were $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2011, compared to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. Sales and marketing expenses were $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2011, compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. General and administrative costs were $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2011, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2010.

The company's backlog as of June 30, 2011 was approximately $12 million and 2,200 genomes. The company ended the second quarter of 2011 with $126.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The company's cash position reflects the completion of its public offering on June 1, 2011, which provided net proceeds to the company of approximately $73.8 million.

Highlights since the Company's Last Earnings Release

  • For the genomes sequenced during the second quarter, our median call rate was over 96% of the genome. Median turnaround time for data results was under 70 days.
  • The company has expanded its capacity to approximately 600 genomes per month and anticipates ending the year with a capacity between 800 and 1,200 genomes per month.

Second Half 2011 Outlook

The company shipped approximately 1,600 genomes to its customers in the first half of 2011. In the second half of 2011, the Company expects to ship over 2,400 genomes to its customers including over 600 genomes in the third quarter of 2011. The variability in genomes shipped each quarter reflects the timing of sample arrivals from a few large orders. We expect this variability to decline as order volume grows and provides a smoothing effect on sample arrivals.

Conference Call

Complete Genomics will host a conference call on August 4, 2011 at 5:30 a.m. PDT to discuss its financial results for the quarter.
