Current report
Increases in both Revio and Vega consumables revenue for the third quarter of 2026 were more than offset by a decrease in consumables revenue from our legacy Sequel systems.

Current report
Service and other revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 2%.

Current report
Research and development expense decreased by $11.6 million, or 16%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel and related expenses, including share-based compensation expense, and lower restructuring charges. We recorded $0.6 million of restructuring-related charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2025. Research and development expense included share-based compensation expense of $3.7 million and $9.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Shipments of Vega consumables also contributed to the increase in consumables revenue during the period, and we anticipate increased contributions as customers continue ramping usage of the Vega platform and the installed base expands.
Previous report
Research and development expense increased by $0.5 million, or 2%, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to the same quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher product development costs associated with ongoing investments in future sequencing platform development, partially offset by lower personnel and related expenses, including share-based compensation expense. Research and development expense included share-based compensation expense of $2.4 million and $3.3 million during the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. We anticipate research and development expense to decrease during the remainder of 2026 in connection with our recently announced expense reduction initiatives, primarily due to headcount reductions.

•Revenue was comprised of $22.6 million in instrument revenue, $41.9 million in consumables revenue and $11.7 million in service and other revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Revenue was comprised of $25.2 million in instrument revenue, $39.0 million in consumables revenue and $12.7 million in service and other revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Lower Vega unit sales and a decrease in service and other revenue were partially offset by an increase in consumables revenue and higher Revio unit sales.

Previous wording
We believe that demand for our instruments (particularly Vega) remains constrained due to, among other reasons, the funding environment in the United States, contributing to elongated sales cycles, or in certain cases, customers not placing instrument orders. Additionally, sales cycles have been and continue to be impacted by, among other reasons, continued capital funding constraints in academic and research markets, procurement timing considerations, and longer adoption cycles among new customers, which have affected the timing of certain instrument orders. However, we believe that revenues will be greater in the second half of 2026, which we expect will be driven by continued clinical adoption, SPRQ-Nx consumable growth, and revenue associated with the Basecamp Research program.

Previous wording
Macroeconomic dynamics that have impacted and could continue to impact the Company include rising inflation, higher computing component costs, specifically memory, which has resulted in material cost pressures and supply constraints, geopolitical tensions, including recent conflicts in the Middle East (including Iran), volatile capital markets, tariffs, uncertainty in the United States related to NIH and academic funding, and fluctuating exchange rates. These factors could continue to impact our revenues and results of operations in future periods; however, the magnitude and duration of these impacts is highly uncertain and inherently unpredictable.
Current wording
Macroeconomic dynamics that have impacted and could continue to impact the Company include rising inflation; higher computing component costs, particularly for memory, which have resulted in material cost pressures and supply constraints; geopolitical tensions, including recent conflicts in the Middle East (including Iran); volatile capital markets; tariffs; uncertainty in the United States related to NIH and academic funding; and fluctuating exchange rates. These factors could continue to impact our revenues and results of operations in future periods; however, the magnitude and duration of these impacts is highly uncertain and inherently unpredictable. In addition, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions to our information technology systems or those of our third-party service providers, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents.

Balance Sheet Components in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Previous wording
Gross profit decreased $2.0 million, or 14%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period of 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by slightly lower revenue and the increase in cost of revenue described above.

If economic, financial, business, or other factors adversely affect our ability to fund our projected operating cash requirements, we may be required to obtain funding through traditional or alternative sources of financing.
