Roka Bioscience Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Warren, NJ - May 4, 2016 / PRNewswire - Roka Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKA), a molecular diagnostics company focused on providing advanced testing solutions for the detection of foodborne pathogens, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
First Quarter 2016 Financial Results:
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $1.6 million compared with $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 and for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in first quarter revenue year-over-year resulted from an increase in the number of Atlas® instruments placed with commercial customers and increased commercial utilization of the instruments. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 44 instruments placed with customers under commercial agreements compared to 41 instruments as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.
"We are encouraged by the performance of our new Atlas Listeria Environment Assay and we see early indications of customer adoption of the assay. Combined with the placement of additional instruments in the first quarter, we believe we are building a base for commercial growth of our business," said Mary Duseau, Roka's Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were $9.4 million compared with $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2015. Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $8.2 million, or $0.47 per share, compared with a net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.51 per share, in the first quarter of 2015.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $23.2 million compared with $32.3 million at December 31, 2015.
