AFFYMETRIX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2015 OPERATING RESULTS

Santa Clara, Calif.July 29, 2015—Affymetrix, Inc., (NASDAQ: AFFX) today reported its operating results for the second quarter of 2015.

Results for the three months ended June 30, 2015:

Reported revenue growth of 4.1% and 7.9% on a constant currency basis.
Total revenue was $89.0 million, compared to $85.4 million in second quarter of 2014.
GAAP net income was $7.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $7.9 million or $0.09 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP net income was $10.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net income of $5.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. Please refer to "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.
The Company announced the acquisition of Eureka Genomics for $15 million in an all cash transaction.
Net proceeds of $19.4 million were raised through an "at-the-market" offering.
Total balance in cash and cash equivalents was $119.6 million and senior debt was $21.0 million as of June 30, 2015.

Product revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $79.9 million and service and other revenue was $9.1 million. This compares to product revenue of $75.9 million and service and other revenue of $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2015 included consumable revenue of $76.1 million and instrument revenue of $3.8 million. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2014 included consumable revenue of $72.6 million and instrument revenue of $3.3 million.

Total GAAP gross margin was 64%, as compared to 57% in the same period of 2014. Excluding non-GAAP adjustments such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2015 was 65% compared to 61% in the same period of 2014. This improvement was driven by higher utilization rates in our manufacturing plants as well as favorable product mix in the quarter. Please refer to the "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Gross Margin" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

For the second quarter of 2015, operating expenses were $48.6 million on a GAAP basis as compared to $49.1 million in the same period of 2014. Excluding non-GAAP adjustments, such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $46.4 million, compared to an adjusted total of $46.2 million in the same period of 2014. Operating expenses remained flat as targeted investments in the business were offset by lower amortization and depreciation and reduced legal expenses. Please refer to the "Itemized Reconciliation Between GAAP and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses" for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

“We generated topline growth of 8% on a constant currency basis in the second quarter driven by continued momentum in our clinical business and solid performance in our eBioscience business,” stated Frank Witney, President and CEO.





“We reiterate our guidance for full year revenue growth in the mid-single digit range on a constant currency basis and we are raising our adjusted EBITDA guidance from a range of 16-18% to 17-19% for 2015.”

Recent developments:

The Company announced the acquisition of Eureka Genomics for $15 million in an all cash transaction. Eureka Genomics has developed proprietary, low-to mid-plex, high throughput genotyping assays that use next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms for signal readout. These assays enable the cost-effective detection of hundreds to thousands of genetic markers which are increasingly in demand for routine agrigenomic testing of both crops and animals.

Affymetrix, BioRealm LLC, and RUCDR Infinite Biologics announced a broad strategic alliance. This alliance will leverage BioRealm's SmokeScreen® platform to genotype the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) biorepository of more than 50,000 samples, collected from human subjects studied in NIDA-funded research. NIDA preserves these samples in a biorepository at RUCDR Infinite Biologics, on the campus of Rutgers University. The biorepository is maintained by RUCDR Infinite Biologics and in part through collaboration with the BioProcessing Solutions Alliance which was created by RUDCR Infinite Biologics and BioStorage Technologies, the global leader in comprehensive sample management.

Riccardo Pigliucci has been appointed to the company’s board of directors effective May 13, 2015. Mr. Pigliucci will serve as a member of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Pigliucci has served as the Managing Partner of Aldwych Associates, LLP, a management and technology consulting partnership since 2006. Prior to joining Aldwych Associates, Mr. Pigliucci was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Partners International (DPI), a supplier of equipment and services to the drug discovery market.
