10x Genomics Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG), a leader in single cell and spatial biology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Recent Highlights

• Revenue was $151.7 million for the third quarter, in line with the company's preliminary announcement, a 1% decrease over the corresponding period of 2023, primarily driven by lower instrument revenue, offset by stronger contributions from consumables.
• Began shipping GEM-X Flex, setting a new standard for the cost per cell for researchers and enabling them to run millions of cells for less than one cent per cell. GEM-X Flex also delivers a number of improvements that are particularly valuable for clinical FFPE samples.
• Launched GEM-X Universal Multiplex, enabling researchers to run more cost-effective single cell studies decreasing the cost per sample, even for small scale experiments.
• Began shipping Chromium Xo, providing a budget-friendly instrument for routine, high-performance single cell analysis.

"Our results this quarter fell short of our expectations given greater-than-anticipated disruption from the sales restructuring we implemented in the quarter and cautious customer spending. As these dynamics persist, especially under a difficult macro backdrop, our revenue growth this year will be lower than our previous expectations," said Serge Saxonov, Co-founder and CEO of 10x Genomics. "Despite these challenges, I am confident that the steps we are taking will enable us to reach more customers, execute consistently across the portfolio and drive the broad democratization of our technologies to reach the full potential of the large opportunity ahead."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $151.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, a 1% decrease from $153.6 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Gross margin was 70% for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 62% for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to change in product mix.

Operating expenses were $147.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, a 22% decrease from $190.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by a $41.4 million in-process research and development expense related to an agreement to acquire certain intangible and other assets in the prior year period.

Operating loss was $41.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $94.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. Operating loss includes $33.9 million of stock-based compensation for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $40.2 million of stock-based compensation for the corresponding prior year period. Operating loss in the third quarter of 2023 included $41.4 million of in-process research and development expense.
