Pacific Biosciences of California Inc. (PACB-6.69%) has submitted its Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The filing details a decrease in revenue to $154 million from $200.5 million in the prior year, attributed primarily to lower Revio system sales and average selling prices, partially offset by increased consumable sales.

Gross profit for the year was $37 million, down from $52.8 million in 2023, with a gross margin of 24%. The decline was due to decreased revenue, restructuring charges, and increased amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Operating loss increased to $474.3 million from $334.5 million in the previous year. This was driven by impairment charges of $184.5 million, restructuring charges, and increased amortization expenses.
