PacBio (NASDAQ:PACB) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $39.0 million, slightly below $39.8 million in Q2 2025, driven by consumables growth and new Revio and Vega placements amid the global commercial rollout of its SPRQ-Nx chemistry for whole genome sequencing at a $345 list price per genome.

Consumable revenue was $20.1 million (up from $18.9 million), instrument revenue $12.8 million (down from $14.2 million), and service and other revenue $6.1 million (down from $6.7 million). GAAP gross profit was $12.6 million with a 32% margin; non-GAAP gross profit was $13.9 million with a 36% margin, both below prior-year levels.

GAAP operating expenses were $57.2 million, GAAP net loss $44.7 million (non-GAAP net loss $41.9 million), and GAAP net loss per share remained $0.14. PacBio ended the quarter with $236.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments and expects full-year 2026 revenue of $155–$165 million. The company also implemented restructuring actions and highlighted several key scientific publications and population-scale program milestones.

Key Terms

3 terms
gaap financial
"GAAP gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $12.6 million"
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
View in glossary
non-gaap financial
"Non-GAAP gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $13.9 million"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
View in glossary
convertible senior notes financial
"Convertible senior notes, net | 644,332"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Total revenue of $39.0 million was driven by growing consumables and new Revio and Vega placements as the Company commenced its full rollout of SPRQ-Nx chemistry. Instrument revenue consisted of both single-system and multi-system orders, including an order for several Revio systems from a new population-scale customer
  • Commenced global commercial rollout of SPRQ-Nx, delivering whole genome sequencing at $345 USD list price per genome with enhanced methylation detection and DeepConsensus, an AI-powered consensus algorithm co-developed with Google
  • Commenced sequencing and sample delivery for Basecamp Research, a frontier AI lab for therapeutic design, marking a significant operational milestone for PacBio's largest population-scale program to date
  • Published in a landmark New England Journal of Medicine study, "Clinical Long-Read Genome Sequencing for Rare-Disease Diagnostics." The publication demonstrates that HiFi long-read sequencing is a clinically effective first-tier diagnostic test that improves diagnostic yield while simplifying the laboratory workflow, reducing turnaround time, and enhancing the overall economics of rare disease diagnostics
  • Published in a Nature Genetics article, “Near-perfect genome sequencing in medical genetics.” The publication highlights long-read sequencing as a pillar of near-perfect genome sequencing (NPGS), alongside diploid genome assembly, pangenome references, and AI-driven variant interpretation
  • Contributed to a published preprint from the HiFi Solves Sub-fertility Consortium in Asia Pacific. The preprint demonstrates that PacBio HiFi whole genome sequencing can provide a more complete view of reproductive genetics in one workflow
  • Implemented restructuring actions primarily to streamline marketing and R&D organizations, strengthen the go-to-market commercial organization, and drive greater cost discipline going forward

Gross profit and margin, operating expenses, net loss, and net loss per share are reported on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP measures are described below and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures at the end of this release.

GAAP gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $12.6 million compared to $14.7 million during the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $13.9 million compared to $15.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. GAAP gross margin was 32% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 37% for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross margin was 36% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 38% for the second quarter of 2025. The decline in non-GAAP gross margin was primarily driven by higher compute and memory costs, Vega manufacturing transition costs, and lower Revio average selling prices associated with strategic multi-system customer placements.

GAAP operating expenses totaled $57.2 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $59.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP operating expenses totaled $56.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $58.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025 included non-cash share-based compensation of $8.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $44.7 million compared to $41.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $41.9 million compared to $40.0 million for the second quarter of 2025.

GAAP net loss per share for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.14 compared to $0.14 for the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP net loss per share for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.14 compared to $0.13 for the second quarter of 2025.

Statement regarding use of non‐GAAP financial measures

PacBio reports non‐GAAP results for basic net income (loss) per share, net income (loss), gross margins, gross profit (loss) and operating expenses in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or because it believes that such information is superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. PacBio believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of PacBio’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

PacBio's financial measures under GAAP include substantial charges that are listed in the itemized reconciliations between GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures included in this press release. PacBio excludes recurring charges from its non-GAAP financial statements, including amortization of acquired intangible assets and changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and further excludes infrequent and limited charges including impairment charges, restructuring-related expenses for discrete restructuring events, settlement charges, disposition of short-read assets, benefits from income taxes and other adjustments and rounding differences.

Management has excluded the effects of these items in non‐GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance. In addition, management uses non-GAAP measures to compare PacBio’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans and to benchmark its performance externally against competitors.

PacBio encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non‐GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. A reconciliation of PacBio’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. PacBio is unable to reconcile future-looking non-GAAP guidance without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact this measure are out of PacBio's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Reported results and orders for any instrument system should not be considered an indication of future performance. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from currently anticipated results, including, but not limited to, challenges inherent in developing, manufacturing, launching, marketing and selling new products, and achieving anticipated new sales; potential cancellation of existing instrument orders; assumptions, risks and uncertainties related to the ability to attract new customers and retain and grow sales from existing customers; risks related to PacBio's ability to successfully execute and realize the benefits of acquisitions; the impact of new, increased or enhanced tariffs and export restrictions; rapidly changing technologies and extensive competition in genomic sequencing; unanticipated increases in costs or expenses; high costs of computer memory components; interruptions or delays in the supply of components or materials for, or manufacturing of, PacBio products and products under development; potential product performance and quality issues and potential delays in development timelines; the possible loss of key employees, customers, or suppliers; customers and prospective customers curtailing or suspending activities using PacBio's products; third-party claims alleging infringement of patents and proprietary rights or seeking to invalidate PacBio's patents or proprietary rights; risks associated with international operations; and other risks associated with general macroeconomic conditions and global economic or political instability, including war and other international conflicts, such as the conflicts in the Middle East. Additional factors that could materially affect actual results can be found in PacBio's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including PacBio's most recent reports on Forms 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q, and include those listed under the caption “Risk Factors.” These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date hereof; except as required by law, PacBio disclaims any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances in the future, even if new information becomes available.
