In its latest earnings report, PacBio revealed a challenging financial year in 2024, marked by a 33% decrease in fourth-quarter revenue compared to the previous year. Despite macroeconomic pressures, the company made strategic advancements, including the accelerated launch of its Vega sequencing platform and the deployment of new SPRQ chemistry.
Key financial highlights include a fourth-quarter revenue of $39.2 million, with a significant drop in instrument revenue offset by stable consumables and service revenue.

PacBio also faced impairment charges due to macroeconomic challenges, impacting its operating expenses.
Strategic achievements involved the early shipment of the Vega platform, which expands access to HiFi sequencing, and a collaboration with Berry Genomics for clinical applications in China. Additionally, the new SPRQ chemistry promises cost efficiencies, promoting wider adoption of PacBio’s technologies.
