PacBio Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Instrument and service revenue increased, but consumables sales and gross margin declined from a year earlier.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $40.6 million, up from the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue compared with $38.4 million in Q3 2025, with instrument and service growth offsetting lower consumables sales. GAAP gross margin fell to 33% from 41%, while operating expenses declined to $50.5 million from $54.8 million. GAAP net loss narrowed to $37.8 million, or $0.12 per share, from $38.0 million, or $0.13 per share.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments ended September at $199.4 million, versus $298.7 million a year earlier. PacBio expects full-year 2026 revenue of $155 million to $160 million. Revio placements rose to 15 from 13, and Vega placements increased to 35 from 32. Annualized Revio consumables revenue per system fell to approximately $204,000 from approximately $236,000. PacBio also partnered with GeneDx to add long-read whole genome sequencing capabilities to its genome testing portfolio.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Recent Business Highlights
- Delivered total revenue of
$40.6 million , reflecting continued instrument and consumables demand - SPRQ-Nx adoption built through the quarter, with over half of Revio consumables revenue tied to SPRQ-Nx and two-thirds of the Revio installed base opting to upgrade software for use of SPRQ-Nx by the end of the quarter
- Delivered 35 new Vega systems in the quarter, up
9% year-over-year, with more than90% sold to new customers, and launched SPRQ-Nx for Vega in late August - Partnered with GeneDx to add long-read whole genome sequencing capabilities to its genome testing portfolio. The move is expected to deepen PacBio’s role in rare disease and support PacBio's priority to grow clinical work
- Strengthened PacBio’s presence in APAC through Berry Genomics’ Birth Defects Project, a major genomics study in China. The project is expected to put HiFi genome sequencing at the center of large-scale research in the region
- Expanded HiFi’s reach into large-scale population research – the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded Sampled, a high-utilization Revio customer, a five-year contract to provide genomics analyses using long-read whole genome sequencing for the Million Veteran Program
- Initiated a multi-year strategic collaboration with Verily Health to combine HiFi long-read data with real-world clinical data at population scale. The datasets are expected to support discovery and AI model training on Verily’s Workbench platform, which serves more than 20,000 researchers, putting HiFi data in front of a large research community
- Announced collaboration with TychoBio, an AI drug discovery company, to generate full-length RNA datasets with HiFi and Kinnex sequencing. We expect the data will be used to train AI models to predict RNA therapy efficacy and off-target effects, extending PacBio’s rare disease role toward therapy development
- Jim Gibson has stepped down as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Mark Van Oene has been appointed interim CFO and Bill Meyer has been appointed Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) as PacBio engages in a search for a new CFO
“PacBio is entering an exciting phase as the investments we’ve made in our technology begin to unlock new opportunities,” said Mark Van Oene, President and Chief Executive Officer. “SPRQ-Nx is changing the economics of HiFi sequencing, while growing clinical adoption and strategic collaborations in population genomics and AI are expanding the markets we can serve. We have a tremendous opportunity ahead of us, and my focus is clear: sharpen our execution, prioritize what matters most, and translate the strength of our technology into sustainable growth.”

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. For future periods PacBio is unable to reconcile non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact these measures are out of PacBio’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, and their probable significance cannot be determined.
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, amortization of a patent license, interest expense related to the liability incurred in connection with the PGI settlement, 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.
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.

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; PacBio’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of its collaborations; 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.
