SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA), one of the fastest growing genetics companies, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Based on progress in the quarter, Invitae is raising its revenue guidance from more than $130 million to between $135 and $140 million in 2018.

Momentum building across all key indicators

"The combination of our broad and affordable diagnostic, reproductive health and proactive testing capabilities enables Invitae to answer genetic-related healthcare questions across all stages of life and opens up opportunity for growth as we bring genetics into mainstream medicine," said Sean George, co-founder and chief executive officer of Invitae. "Amidst the rapid growth in both volume and revenue, Invitae is emerging as a leader in the world of genetics. Given our progress, we're increasing our annual revenue guidance."

Second Quarter 2018 Results

  • Accessioned more than 73,000 samples in the second quarter of 2018, a 14% sequential increase over the first quarter of 2018 and a 139% increase over the 30,500 samples in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Generated revenue of $37.3 million in the second quarter of 2018, a 35% sequential increase over the first quarter of 2018 and a 161% increase over the second quarter of 2017 revenue of $14.3 million.
  • Maintained the average cost per sample at $280 in the second quarter of 2018, flat from prior quarter, and a 19% reduction from a $345 average cost per sample in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Achieved positive gross profit of $16.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to a gross profit of $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, and $3.8 million gross profit in the second quarter of 2017.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018, excluding cost of goods sold, were $46.9 million compared to $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. For the second quarter of 2018, Invitae reported a net loss of $31.7 million, or a $0.47 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $28.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, or a $0.66 loss per share.

Cash used in operating activities for the quarter was $26.5 million, compared to $35.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. At June 30, 2018, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $91.4 million which includes $53.5 million in net proceeds from an equity offering that closed in April. The company also has access to $20 million in additional debt, bringing total available capital at the quarter close to more than $110 million.

Corporate Highlights

  • Expanded the company's reproductive health offering with the launch of genetic carrier screening, a comprehensive test designed to provide affordable, accessible information on genetic changes that pose a risk for parents of having a child with an inherited genetic disorder
  • Made significant progress on the integration and restructuring of the 2017 acquisitions, including the transfer of our Cambridge reproductive health technology to our San Francisco laboratory
  • Continued growing our biopharma and patient advocacy network, launching seven biopharma partnership programs in the second quarter, including our SMA Identified program with Biogen to provide genetic testing to patients suspected of having or clinically diagnosed with SMA
  • Began receiving payment from Medicare for deletion and duplication analysis (CPT code 81433)

Scientific Highlights

  • Published findings in the journal Genetics in Medicine from the largest analysis to date of genetic testing to identify deletions and duplications involving single genes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques. The study found that these changes are present in a substantial number of patients and suggests that laboratory methods with high sensitivity to copy number variants (CNVs) should be a routine component of genetic testing
  • Highlighted data at the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS) showing that women who did not meet breast cancer genetic testing criteria had cancer-associated mutations just as often as women who met the criteria
  • Presented findings at the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) annual meeting, indicating proactive genetic health screening reveals medically significant findings for a substantial portion of individuals tested, supporting the importance of proactive, clinical-grade testing in the absence of personal or family history of genetic disease.
