Please refer to "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures.
Total balance in cash and cash equivalents was $51.5 million and senior debt was $25.0 million as of June 30, 2014.

Product revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $75.9 million and service and other revenue was $9.5 million. This compares to product revenue of $74.2 million and service and other revenue of $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2014 included consumable revenue of $72.6 million and instrument revenue of $3.3 million. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2013 included consumable revenue of $70.0 million and instrument revenue of $4.2 million.

Total gross margin was 57%, as compared to 53% in the same period of 2013. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments such as the amortization of step-up in inventory fair value, total margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 61% compared to 60% in the same period of 2013. Please refer to the "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Gross Margin" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures.

For the second quarter of 2014, operating expenses were $49.1 million on a GAAP basis as compared to $45.1 million in the same period of 2013. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments, such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring charges, operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $46.2 million, compared to an adjusted total of $42.0 million in the same period of 2013. The increase is primarily due to higher variable compensation cost and legal costs associated with our litigation matters. Please refer to the "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures.

“This is our fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth as we continue to execute on our strategic objectives,” stated Frank Witney, President and CEO. “For the first half of 2014 we saw consistent performance across the business and strong growth in our Genetic Analysis business unit. Accordingly we are raising our full-year guidance to total revenue of $340 million and EBITDAO in the range of 14% to 15% of revenue.”






"Since this time last year we have prepaid $42 million of our Senior Debt while increasing our overall balance of cash-on-hand," stated Gavin Wood, EVP and CFO. "We have now reduced our outstanding debt to $25 million, achieving our year-end debt target six months ahead of schedule."

Recent developments:

The Company and Leica Biosystems announced the launch of Affymetrix’s fully automated RNA in situ hybridization ViewRNA™ eZ Assays on the Leica BOND RX staining platform. These assays detect coding RNA as well as novel non-coding markers in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. The assays provide researchers with a powerful automated solution for drug discovery, translational research, and the development of new diagnostic tests for personalized medicine. The automation significantly reduces hands-on time and assay run time for profiling RNA biomarkers in tissue samples.

The launch of new analysis software, Nexus Copy Number for Affymetrix, which is specifically designed for data generated by the Company’s genetic analysis platforms for cancer research, including CytoScan® Cytogenetics Suite and OncoScan® FFPE Assay Kit. With the use of Nexus Copy Number, an advanced discovery tool for interrogating large data sets, researchers have been able to identify biomarkers that drive disease progression. The new Nexus Copy Number for Affymetrix software offers researchers a version of the Nexus Copy Number software that is easier to access and has been specifically tailored for use with Affymetrix cytogenetic assays.

On July 28, 2014, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to its Credit Agreement dated as of June 25, 2012. The fifth amendment provides, among other things, for (1) an uncommitted incremental term loan facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million and (2) the reduction of interest rate margins.
