GenMark Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq:GNMK), a leading provider of automated, multiplex molecular diagnostic testing systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $12.4 million, a decrease of 1% over the prior year period. Annuity per XT-8 analyzer was $69 thousand in the second quarter and in the mid-$70 thousand range over the last 4 quarters.

Gross profit for the second quarter was $4.9 million, or 40% of revenue, compared with $7.8 million, or 62% of revenue in the same period of 2016.

“We are delighted to have accomplished several important goals in the second quarter. Our team achieved FDA 510(k) clearance of the ePlex instrument and Respiratory Pathogen Panel as well as CE Mark for all three of our Blood Culture ID Panels,” said Hany Massarany, President and Chief Executive Officer of GenMark. “In addition, we significantly strengthened our balance sheet, which will enable us to bring even more focus to the global commercialization of our ePlex System and its menu expansion,” added Massarany.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $22.2 million compared to $20.4 million in the same period for 2016. The increase was mainly driven by Marketing and Sales expenses as the Company continues to expand its commercial organization in support of the global ePlex product launch.

Loss per share was $0.37 per share for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a $0.30 loss per share in the second quarter of 2016.

The Company ended the quarter with $106.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
