SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNGO), a life sciences instrumentation company that develops and markets Saphyr®, a platform for ultra-sensitive and ultra-specific structural variation detection in genome analysis, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 and provided a business update.
Recent Business Highlights
“We have made great strides towards validating the scientific credibility of our Saphyr System as we work to establish it as the new gold standard in cytogenetic methods. To that end, we saw leading researchers publish data showing 100% concordance with current cytogenetic methods,” said Erik Holmlin, Ph.D., CEO of Bionano. “Also, we are enabling researchers to develop an understanding of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, through our partnership with the structural variant consortium, formed by Dr. Ravindra Kolhe at Augusta University. The scope of work with the consortium was significantly expanded and now includes work analyzing samples from COVID-19 patients around the globe.”
Second Quarter Financial Results
Total Revenue. Total revenue decreased by $1.0 million, or 45.7%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease impacted all geographic regions, largely driven by customers temporarily shutting down their lab operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Below is a summary of changes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019:
Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue decreased by $1.0 million, or 61.2%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the number of instrument units sold during the quarter from 8 to 1. This was partially offset by an increase in consumable units sold of 189%.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 7.4%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to headcount additions to our global sales and marketing teams as well as back-office support teams to assist with the growth of our world-wide product distribution. In addition, we incurred increased professional fees to support ongoing business operations and our international presence. Salary reductions implemented in April 2020 partially offset cost increases driven by our headcount additions.
Cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17.2 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $17.3 million at December 31, 2019.
First Half 2020 Financial Results
Total Revenue. Total revenue decreased by $1.7 million, or 42.4%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease impacted all regions, largely driven by customers temporarily shutting down their lab operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Below is a summary of changes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019:
Cost of Revenue. Total cost of revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to a decrease in the number of instruments units sold from 14 to 4. This was partially offset by an increase in consumable units sold of 120%.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by approximately $3.7 million, or 25.8%, to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2019. Research and development expenses increased $0.6 million, or 12.6%, to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2019. This is due to headcount additions to our development teams, but slightly offset by the salary reductions implemented in April 2020. In addition, our materials and supply expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to continued efforts to innovate our product. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 31.8%, to $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2019. This is primarily due to headcount additions to our global sales and marketing teams as well as back-office support teams to assist with the growth of our world-wide product distribution. In addition, we incurred increased professional fees to support ongoing business operations and international presence. Lastly, the Company determined that its collection efforts had been exhausted for a portion of its accounts and deemed the accounts receivables balance as not collectible. As a result, the Company recognized bad debt expense of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
