- Non-GAAP net income was $3.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012. 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 $50.6 million at the end of September 30, 2013.
Product revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $74.8 million and service and other revenue was $5.6 million. This compares to product revenue of $72.7 million and service and other revenue of $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. Product revenue for the third quarter of 2013 included Affymetrix core consumable revenue of $52.1 million, instrument revenue of $2.8 million and revenue from eBioscience of $19.9 million. Product revenue for the third quarter of 2012 included Affymetrix core consumable revenue of $50.5 million and instrument revenue of $4.6 million and revenue from eBiosciences of $17.6 million.
Total gross margin was 55%, as compared to 52% in the same period of 2012. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments such as the amortization of step-up in inventory fair value, total margin was 61% compared to 60% for the third quarter of 2012. 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 third quarter of 2013, operating expenses were $45.1 million on a GAAP basis as compared to $52.8 million in 2012. Excluding Non-GAAP adjustments such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and non-recurring charges, operating expenses were $41.9 million, compared to an adjusted total of $46.0 million in 2012. The decrease in 2013 is primarily driven by lower headcount and variable compensation expenditure following the restructuring announced on January 11, 2013 and due to non-recurring acquisition- and integration-related costs incurred during 2012. Please refer to the "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures.
"We generated another quarter of strong growth in our Genetic Analysis business and improved results in our Expression and eBiosciences businesses," said Frank Witney, President and CEO. "From a geographic perspective Europe and North America delivered stronger results as compared to last quarter. We are encouraged by the progress we made in the third quarter."
"In the third quarter, stronger revenue and prudent working capital management combined with continued careful control of our operating expenses allowed us to generate approximately $10.5 million in cash flow from operations," stated Gavin Wood, EVP and CFO. "Since June of last year we have reduced our senior-secured debt by nearly 45%."
Recent developments:
- The Company launched the OncoScan FFPE Assay Kit, which enables a whole-genome copy number assay for highly degraded FFPE solid tumor samples in 48 hours. Despite the growing need of cancer researchers and clinicians, obtaining high-quality, whole-genome copy number data from degraded FFPE-derived tumor DNA has remained extremely challenging due to the limitations of current methods such as FISH, array CGH, and next-generation sequencing technologies. The new OncoScan FFPE Assay Kit, utilizing Affymetrix's unique Molecular Inversion Probe (MIP) technology, is capable of analyzing small amounts of highly degraded DNA from FFPE samples quickly and affordably, providing a significant step forward in solid tumor cancer analysis.
- Earlier this month the Company divested its Anatrace product line and used the proceeds, as well as cash-on-hand, to reduce the Company's outstanding senior-secured debt.
- In October the Company also refinanced $48 million of its remaining senior secured debt on revised terms including lower interest rate margins.
- As of October 25th, 2013, the Company's cash-on-hand exceeded the principal amount of its senior-secured debt.
