Affymetrix Receives FDA Clearance of First-of-its-kind Postnatal Test for Developmental Delays and Intellectual Disabilities in Children
CytoScan® Dx Assay represents a technology leap over traditional postnatal genetic tests and significantly improves diagnostic capability
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 21, 2014-- Affymetrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFFX) today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its CytoScan® Dx Assay. This assay is intended for the postnatal detection of DNA copy number variants (CNV) in patients referred for chromosomal testing. CytoScan Dx Assay is designed to help physicians diagnose children’s developmental and intellectual disabilities more comprehensively by enabling a high-resolution genome-wide analysis of genetic aberrations. High resolution analysis can reveal small aberrations not readily seen using traditional techniques.
“This clearance is first-of-its-kind, and represents a leap forward in molecular genetic testing. CytoScan Dx Assay is the first FDA-cleared test that analyzes the whole genome in a single assay at unprecedented resolution, which significantly improves diagnostic capability. Developing and clearing this assay establish Affymetrix as a leader in advancing molecular diagnostics by bringing high quality genomic tools into routine application in the clinic,” said Frank Witney, CEO and President of Affymetrix. “We expect to be making CytoScan Dx Assay available to laboratories within the US in the next few months. In addition, the clearance by the FDA is an important milestone for supporting adoption in other key countries around the world where they are now evaluating advanced tools and tests like this.”
"We are pleased to have been selected by Affymetrix to be part of the clinical trial for CytoScan Dx Assay and found the performance data of this assay very impressive. With two to three percent of children in the United States having some form of developmental delay or intellectual disabilities, finding a diagnosis for the patient and their family can become a lengthy odyssey. This assay represents the best option for accelerating an accurate diagnosis," said Alka Chaubey, PhD, Director of the Greenwood Genetic Center's Cytogenetics Laboratory.

Affymetrix Rise on Turnaround 2Q Earnings - Analyst Blog

Affymetrix Rise on Turnaround 2Q Earnings - Analyst Blog
Print
Alert
Shares of Affymetrix Inc.’s (AFFX) rose 6.4% to $5.00 yesterday following the release of its promising 2013-second quarter results on Jul 31. The company reported its first earnings since the first quarter of 2011. The stock price is very close to the 52-week high of $5.26 on Jul 12.
Affymetrix posted adjusted earnings per share of 4 cents in the quarter in sharp contrast to the year-ago adjusted loss of 13 cents. This reflected a whopping 500% earnings surprise compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of a penny.
Thanks to AFFX’s strategic restructuring plans and its acquisition of eBioscience in Jun 2012 that has opened new avenues for the company and turned its focus away from the beleaguered Gene Expression business.
Revenues increased 19.7% year over year to $79.5 million (including the eBioscience acquisition), almost in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. eBioscience revenues increased manifold to $18.8 million from $1.4 million in the year-ago period.
During the quarter, Affymetrix launched a new product, Axiom 384HT Genotyping Format, a high-throughput platform capable of genotyping 384 samples simultaneously and run on the GeneTitan Instrument.
We are impressed with Affymetrix’s strong second-quarter results, following a dismal first quarter. We believe that AFFX is ready for a turnaround due to management's strategy to transform it into a company with a broad reach in the high-growth markets for translational medicine, molecular diagnostics and applied markets. Despite a tight U.S. academic funding environment, AFFX’s new products and strategic agreements should propel growth in the company.
Currently, AFFX has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Other companies like Biogen Idec (BIIB), Gilead Sciences (GILD) and Actelion (ALIOF), all carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), are also expected to do well in the Medical-Biomed/Gene industry.

"Our revenues for the first quarter were below expectations, primarily due to continued headwinds in our gene expression business across all regions, in particular Japan, where we came in significantly short of plan. Our genotyping and cytogenetics product lines generated solid growth for the quarter as compared to 2012 and eBioscience also had modest growth from the first quarter of last year. As reported earlier, we ended the quarter with a major win, securing the largest biobank genotyping study to date."

Affymetrix 3Q Guidance Disappoints
ZacksBy Zacks Equity Research | Zacks – Sat, Oct 13, 2012 6:43 AM EDT
Genetic products company, Affymetrix Inc. (AFFX) recently provided its guidance for the third quarter 2012 results, based on available preliminary financial data. The company will be reporting the results on October, 31 after market closes.
Affymetrix expects revenues to be roughly $80 million in the third quarter of 2012, which is below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $82 million. According to management, declining Euro as well as a difficult global academic funding backdrop is adversely affecting the gene expression and eBioscience unit, thereby constricting the company’s top-line growth.
The company’s share prices dropped 3.1% on October 9, following the disappointing guidance announcement. However, Affymetrix currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. We have a long-term ‘Neutral’ recommendation on the stock.
Affymetrix further stated that the eBioscience business, although integrating well into the company, did not perform up to the mark in the quarter and expects it to contribute $18 million to total revenues. The gene expression unit also disappointed. However, Affymetrix anticipates cytogenetics and genotyping products to grow at a double-digit rate in the reported quarter.
Overall, Affymetrix expects full year 2012 revenues to remain either flat or marginally down, led by Affymetrix’s exposure to the volatile funding environment and weakening Euro. Research and development (R&D) spending by Affymetrix’s customers have fallen considerably due to a weak macroeconomic environment coupled with stringent government actions including budget cuts.
Additionally, following an interest and principal payment of $3.5 million on senior debt, Affymetrix forecasts to generate cash-on-hand of $39.6 million (as of September 30, 2012). The company had ended the year-ago quarter with cash and cash equivalent of $32.4 million.
Affymetrix holds a leading position in the gene expression products and services market. Along with Illumina Inc. (ILMN), it is one of the two major providers of microarray technologies, primarily used in the field of genetic research.
The Zacks Consensus Estimates for the third quarter and full year 2012 are expected to be a loss of 3 cents and 12 cents per share, respectively.
Currently, Affymetrix is shifting its research and development (R&D) focus from discovery and exploration markets to the faster-growing validation and routine testing markets. The company reckons cytogenetics and cancer research as promising areas for expansion, representing market opportunities of roughly $200 million and $500 million, respectively.

“This agreement provides Affymetrix with an important opportunity to expand its QuantiGene ViewRNA Assay offering into the pathology and cancer research markets by providing new multiplex chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) RNA biomarker assays which are validated on clinical samples for research applications. Advanced in situ RNA hybridization methods applied to less invasive clinical samples such as FFPE core biopsies, FNAs, and CTCs has the potential of becoming powerful new tools to deliver diagnostics that enable the oncologist to personalize patient care,” stated George Bers, Vice President and General Manager, Gene Expression Business Unit Manager – Panomics at Affymetrix.
Currently, those who practice surgical pathology and cytology face challenges in the management of a broad range of cancers. Medical practitioners are optimistic that a solution to these challenges will be found in new biomarkers and drug targets which are being rapidly discovered by NGS and microarray technologies. Yet these new biomarker discoveries have in themselves become a challenge requiring extensive validation prior to becoming candidates for translation into diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tests to fulfill the promise of delivering a new generation of personalized medicine and associated economic and healthcare outcomes.
"The future of cancer treatment lies in our ability to precisely identify specific biomarkers so we can then find effective drugs for that particular form of disease,” said Daniel A. Haber, MD, PhD, director of the MGH Cancer Center. “This collaboration with Affymetrix aims to move this important work forward."
MGH is a world leader in cancer research and education, translational medicine, and a major center for patient care. MGH has some of the world’s largest annotated tissue banks for retrospective biomarker studies as well as large and diverse patient populations for prospective studies. MGH’s Cancer Center and Department of Pathology are currently collaborating with Affymetrix to validate biomarkers of current and future clinical importance using Affymetrix’ QuantiGene ViewRNA technology platform for multiplex in situ testing of FFPE tissue biopsies, FNA cytologies, and CTC “liquid biopsies”. QuantiGene ViewRNA is an ideal platform for cancer biomarker validation and testing as RNA is a predictable, sensitive and specific alternative to antibody based IHC and ICC testing. QuantiGene ViewRNA probes for RNA assays can be developed for research applications for any expressed gene within days and can analyze non-coding RNAs believed to be important master regulators of cancer and for which antibody assays can’t be developed. To date, the research collaboration has produced several potential diagnostic/prognostic biomarker targets including new class of non-coding RNA, HSATII, and EGFR vIII.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Affymetrix Inc. tumbled Thursday after the genetic testing instrument maker forecast disappointing second-quarter revenue.
THE SPARK: After the market closed on Wednesday, Affymetrix said its revenue will fall at least 9 percent in the second quarter. Its estimate of $64 million to $65 million was about $10 million less than analysts expected. Wall Street had expected the company's sales to improve from last year's $71.7 million.
THE BIG PICTURE: The Santa Clara, Calif., company said sales to academic customers decreased, especially in North America. Lower product revenue was responsible for most of the decline, as Affymetrix said those sales fell to about $58.5 million from $65.1 million a year ago
THE ANALYSIS: Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst Quintin Lai said a bad quarter is not a surprise given the company's recent CEO change. He said he thinks new President and CEO Frank Witney will focus on improving the company's revenue growth.
Witney's predecessor, Kevin King, left the company June 30. Affymetrix announced the change June 1, saying King was resigning to pursue other interests.
Lai reiterated an "Outperform" rating on the shares, but trimmed his price target to $10 per share from $11.
SHARE ACTION: Affymetrix stock dropped $1.47, or 18.4 percent, to $6.53.

Affymetrix Inc. on Wednesday reported third quarter net income of $1 million, or a penny a share, compared to a loss in the same period last year of $8.8 million, or 13 cents a share.
Santa Clara-based Affymetrix (NASDAQ:AFFX) had revenue of $74 million, down from the year-ago quarter's $78.2 million.
Product revenue was $67.3 million, service revenue was $4.9 million, and royalties and other revenue were $1.8 million. This compares to third quarter 2009 product revenue of $66.2 million, service revenue of $9.9 million, and royalties and other revenue of $2.1 million.
“We continue to move the business toward profitability through the adoption of new products, improvements in gross margins and by lowering operating expenses. During the third quarter we strengthened our balance sheet and significantly reduced future interest payments through the repurchase of approximately $72 million of our 3.50 percent senior convertible notes. Through the first nine months of 2010, we generated approximately $25 million in cash-flow from operations,” said CEO Kevin M. King.
