Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue was $112.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, a 49% increase from $75.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of increased consumables revenue driven by growth in the instrument installed base.
Gross margin was 83% for the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to 78% for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in gross margin was driven primarily by a smaller percentage of product sales being subject to royalties under ongoing litigation due to the transition to Next GEM products, partially offset by higher costs from newly introduced products.
Operating expenses were $502.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a 653% increase from $66.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, and included $406.9 million of in-process research and development expense related to intellectual property purchased in connection with the acquisition of ReadCoor. Other drivers of the increase in operating expenses this quarter include increased personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation, and increased litigation expenses.
Operating loss was $409.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to an operating loss of $8.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. This includes $14.3 million of stock-based compensation for the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.
Net loss was $415.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Full Year 2020 Financial Results
Revenue was $298.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a 22% increase from $245.9 million for 2019.
Gross margin was 80% for full year 2020, as compared to 75% for 2019. The increase in gross margin was driven primarily by a smaller percentage of product sales being subject to royalties under ongoing litigation due to the transition to Next GEM products, partially offset by higher costs from newly introduced products.
Operating expenses were $774.5 million for full year 2020, as compared to $215.4 million for 2019, an increase of 260%. Operating expenses in 2020 included $447.5 million of in-process research and development expense related to intellectual property purchased in connection with the acquisitions of CartaNA and ReadCoor.
