Our mission to accelerate the mastery of biology is more important now than it has ever been, and I am confident that the future holds an even greater appreciation and appetite for scientific discovery.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue was $71.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a 34% increase from $53.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Gross margin was 79% for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to 74% for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in gross margin was driven primarily by lower accrued royalties related to ongoing litigation.

Operating expenses were $76.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, an 80% increase from $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to increases in expenses related to ongoing litigation, personnel-related expenses and stock-based compensation.

Operating loss was $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $3.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. This includes $6.7 million of stock-based compensation for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2019.

Net loss was $21.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, as compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents were $372.4 million as of March 31, 2020. Our cash balance at quarter end includes the impact of the repayment in full of our term loan borrowings with Silicon Valley Bank totaling $31 million.

On April 9, 2020, 10x withdrew its annual revenue guidance for 2020 due to the evolving environment and continued uncertainties from the impact of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for the Company to reasonably estimate the impact it may have on financial and operating results.
