CARLSBAD, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq:GNMK) today reported revenues of $667,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2010, a 162% increase over third quarter 2009. Net loss for the third quarter was $4.9 million, or $0.42 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million and $1.13 per share for the same period last year.
"In addition, our product development activities ramped up as our R&D teams moved key new menu programs forward that will drive revenue in 2011 and beyond and continue our progress toward profitability"
Reagent test revenues of $581,000 were 164% higher than the third quarter of 2009, while instrument and other product revenues were $72,000 compared to zero for the comparable prior year period. Gross margin loss increased 10% to $554,000 for the current quarter compared to the $506,000 gross margin loss for 2009, driven by planned duplicate costs as we transition our manufacturing to our new facility in Carlsbad, California. Investment in R&D increased $106,000, up 7% over the prior year quarter and investment in commercial activities, primarily related to sales force expansion, increased $516,000 or 87% over the prior year quarter. General and administrative expense declined $1.4 million to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to lower severance and stock based compensation charges in the current period.
"Our third quarter results displayed continued strong growth in reagent test revenues and placements of our XT-8 system," commented Chris Gleeson, Chairman and CEO. "In addition, our product development activities ramped up as our R&D teams moved key new menu programs forward that will drive revenue in 2011 and beyond and continue our progress toward profitability," he added.
The company also reported that it was approved to receive over $1.6 million under the Therapeutic Discovery Grant program.
YEAR TO DATE 2010
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 grew to $1.7 million, a 148% increase over the same period in 2009. Reagents test revenues grew 105% year over year while gross margin loss improved significantly from a loss of $2.2 million during 2009 to a loss of $934,000 during the 2010 period. R&D spending increased by 10% and investment in sales force and other commercial activities increased 78%.
