Never got around to AFFX's quarterly numbers. Encouraging that they are still placing readers as well as selling consumables. However, third quarter guidance doesn't look so rosy, while they maintained full year guidance. Probably just timing issues. And would like to know if their revenue guidance includes Perlegen revenue or not (probably not). Wonder if the CC is still archived somewhere.
>>SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Affymetrix, Inc., (Nasdaq: AFFX - News) today reported its results for the second quarter of 2002. Total revenue for the quarter was $70.7 million, of which $5.6 million was related to the sale of wafers to Perlegen Sciences, Inc. at cost, compared to total revenue of $49.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the sale of wafers to Perlegen, total revenue grew approximately 39% during the quarter when compared to the second quarter of 2001.
Excluding non-cash stock compensation expense and amortization of purchased intangible assets, Affymetrix reported a pro forma profit of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This is the third consecutive quarter of pro forma profitability for Affymetrix. On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $1.6 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2002 compared to a net loss of $9.1 million or $0.16 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2001.
Product revenue increased to $58.6 million for the second quarter, an increase of $16.7 million or 40% as compared to the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily the result of record GeneChip® array shipments.
During the quarter, Affymetrix' product revenue included shipment of more than 97,000 GeneChip arrays, which represented unit growth of more than 50% over the comparable quarter in 2001. The figures reflect increasing usage of GeneChip arrays as the standard for performing gene expression research. In addition, Affymetrix shipped four GeneChip systems per week on average, bringing the total number of installed systems to approximately 690.
Other revenues, which include licensing fees, royalties and research revenue, were $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2001.
Revenue received from the sale of wafers at cost to Perlegen for the quarter was $5.6 million. Sales to Perlegen have been consistently excluded from Affymetrix product revenue.
Total costs and expenses for the quarter were $69.2 million compared to $61.8 million in the second quarter of 2001.
Cost of product revenue was $21.0 million in the second quarter compared to $15.7 million in the same period of 2001. Product gross margin was 64.1% in the second quarter as compared to 62.5% in the second quarter of 2001.
Research and development expense was $17.3 million during the quarter as compared to $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2001.
