 represents a 38% decrease compared to the balance of $631.4 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash includes approximately $50.2 million of payments made in conjunction with the convertible notes exchange transaction in November 2024.

The median sales cycle for Revio instrument purchases continues to be elongated. We believe this has been caused by, among other reasons, the uncertainty surrounding the funding for new capital equipment, in particular, uncertainty in the United States related to NIH and academic funding; procurement delays; small-to-mid-size existing customers yet to increase their sample volumes to drive an upgrade to Revio; new customers, which have shown they have longer sales cycles compared to existing PacBio customers; and sample volumes materializing slower than expected for some potential Revio customers.

We believe our consumables revenue was also impacted primarily by slower-than-expected ramp-up in sequencing by our small- to mid-sized customers, many of whom are new to PacBio; sample delays impacting sequencing volume at certain large customers; and some service providers in China operating at lower utilization as a result of the difficult funding environment.

Macroeconomic dynamics impacting the Company in the future may include rising inflation, geopolitical tensions, volatile capital markets, tariffs, uncertainty in the United States related to NIH and academic funding, and fluctuating exchange rates. These factors could continue to impact our revenues and results of operations in future periods; however, the magnitude and duration of these impacts is uncertain and inherently unpredictable.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant estimates, including those related to the valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived and finite-lived assets. However, these estimates could change in future periods based on events or changes in circumstances, which could result in material future impairment charges. We recorded $184.5 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2024. See additional discussion below in Results of Operations, as well as Note 4. Balance Sheet Components in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information. Additionally, refer to the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section later in this Item 7 for further discussion on the Company's asset impairment assessments.
