“The Personalis team has made solid progress over the last few months.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Revenues were $15.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, up 80% from $8.8 million in the same period of the prior year. Second quarter revenue growth was driven by an increase in volume for testing and analytical services provided to pharmaceutical, biotech, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs “Million Veteran Program” (“VA-MVP”), universities, and research laboratory customers. The VA-MVP accounted for 54% of our revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the remaining 46% was primarily from pharmaceutical and biotech customers.
Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 37.3% and increased 10.1% from 27.2% in the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses totaled $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $6.1 million for the same period of the prior year.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.9 million and net loss per share was $0.89 based on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 6.6 million, compared with a net loss of $7.3 million and a net loss per share of $2.39 on a weighted-average basic and diluted share count of 3.1 million last year.
Cash and cash equivalents were $163.3 million as of June 30, 2019. Personalis received net proceeds of $140.0 million in its initial public offering, net of underwriting discounts, fees and expenses payable by the company, and issued 9.1 million shares of common stock.
2019 Outlook
Personalis expects full year 2019 revenues to be in the range of $60 million to $62 million, representing 59% to 64% growth over full year 2018.
