PLEASANTON, Calif., Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 and provided outlook for 2023.

Recent Highlights

• Increased cumulative instruments sold to more than 4,600 as of the end of 2022, driven by continued adoption of Chromium X Series instruments and strong demand for Visium CytAssist.

"The clear highlight of 2022 was the velocity of our innovation engine as our team delivered catalytic launches across all three platforms," said Serge Saxonov, Co-founder and CEO of 10x Genomics.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $156.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a 9% increase from $143.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of higher consumables revenue in the Americas and EMEA regions partially offset by a decline in China, and overall higher volume of instruments sold including the sales of our newly introduced Xenium instruments, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

Gross margin was 76% for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to 81% for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to change in product mix with newly introduced products.

Operating expenses were $142.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a 8% increase from $131.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by higher personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation and restructuring costs, increased costs for facilities and information technology to support operational expansion and higher legal expenses, partially offset by lower costs for laboratory materials and supplies and a decrease in marketing expenses.

Operating loss was $23.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to an operating loss of $15.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. Operating loss also includes $41.0 million of stock-based compensation for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $26.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net loss was $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to a net loss of $18.4 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue was $516.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a 5% increase from $490.5 million for 2021.

Gross margin was 77% for full year 2022, as compared to 85% for 2021. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to higher accrued royalties including a one-time reversal of $14.7 million of previously accrued royalties in 2021, change in product mix with newly introduced products and increased manufacturing and logistics costs.

Operating expenses were $564.0 million for full year 2022, as compared to $468.7 million for 2021, an increase of 20%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation and restructuring costs, increased expenses related to laboratory materials and supplies to support our research and development efforts and increased facilities and information technology costs to support operational expansion, partially offset by lower legal expenses, consulting and professional services and marketing expenses.

Operating loss was $167.9 million for full year 2022, as compared to an operating loss of $52.3 million for 2021. This includes $136.8 million of stock-based compensation for full year 2022, as compared to $96.0 million for full year 2021.

Net loss was $166.0 million for full year 2022, as compared to a net loss of $58.2 million for 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $430.0 million as of December 31, 2022.
