GenMark Diagnostics Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

 

   

Quarterly Reagent Revenue Grows Over 300%

 

   

Installed Base Grows to 220 Analyzers

 

   

Quarterly Gross Margin Reaches 40%

 

   

Annuity Per Analyzer $73,000

CARLSBAD, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq:GNMK), a leading provider of automated, multiplex molecular diagnostic testing systems, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2012 were $3.6 million compared with $901,000 during the second quarter of 2011. The 301% year-over-year increase in total revenue reflects an increase in the number of systems placed at customer sites, growth in test menus and a significant increase in the number of tests sold. Reagent revenues for the second quarter grew 321% year-over-year to $3.5 million from $825,000. Instrument and other revenues increased by 86% year-over-year to $141,000 from $76,000 due mainly to capital sales of instruments.

The Company placed a net 31 analyzers during the quarter, bringing the total installed base to 220, all in end-user laboratories within the U.S. market.

Gross profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2012 was $1.4 million, or 40% of revenue, compared with a gross loss of $393,000, or (44%) of revenue for the same period in 2011. The continued improvement in gross profit is the result of significant volume increases and manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $7.0 million during the second quarter of 2012 compared with the second quarter of 2011. Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased $978,000 year-over-year due to the increase in revenue, headcount growth and other corporate expenses. Research and Development expenses increased $728,000 due to an expansion of the R&D team, menu development for the XT-8 and initial development work on the NexGen platform.

Loss per share was $0.26 for the second quarter of 2012, compared with a loss per share of $0.39 in the second quarter of 2011.


“Our Company continues to meet expectations for business growth and product development,” stated GenMark’s President & CEO Hany Massarany. “We significantly grew our reagents business in the second quarter by adding new customers, as well as expanding menu utilization and revenue with existing customers. We also increased the number of net new analyzers by 31 to a cumulative net 220 analyzers. Furthermore, our NexGen development efforts are on schedule and we plan to show a prototype system at the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) meeting in October.”

The Company ended the second quarter of 2012 with $64.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company intends to continue utilizing its cash balances to invest in new product and menu development, including the development of its NexGen platform, and for infrastructure improvements and general corporate purposes.

“We significantly strengthened our balance sheet this quarter with a successful raise of $45 million net in a public offering of our common stock,” Massarany further stated.

YEAR-TO-DATE 2012

Revenue for the first six months of 2012 was $5.8 million, compared to $1.7 million for the prior year period, an increase of 248%. Reagent revenue for the first six months of 2012 was $5.4 million, compared to $1.4 million for the prior year period, and instrument and other revenue for the first six months of 2012 was $381,000 compared to $226,000 for the prior year period.

Net loss for the first six months of 2012 was $11.2 million, or $0.54 loss per share, compared to net loss of $12.2 million, or $0.93 loss per share, for the prior year period.
