**Item 2.02.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Results of Operations and Financial Condition.**

On January 9, 2023, Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release providing a business update and announcing certain unaudited preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 (the "Press Release"). A copy of the Press Release (other than the specific information incorporated by reference pursuant to Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K) is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 8.01.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OTHER EVENTS.**

The information set forth in the Press Release, solely to the extent such information references the orders for 76 Revio systems received by the Company in the fourth quarter, the Company's anticipated timing for the commercial launches of the Revio and Onso systems, and the Company's expectations for preliminary fourth quarter revenue and preliminary cash, cash equivalents and investments balance as of December 31, 2022, together with the paragraph set forth under the heading "Forward-looking statements", is incorporated by reference into Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The portions of the Press Release incorporated by reference into Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are being filed pursuant to Item 8.01.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**PacBio Announces Record Orders, Including Orders for 76 Revio Systems Received in the Fourth Quarter of 2022**

***PacBio also Releases Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2022 Revenue, Shares Positive Onso Beta Feedback, and Launches the PacBio Compatible Program***

MENLO PARK, Calif., January 9, 2023 (PRNewswire) – PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), a leading developer of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing solutions, announced today it received orders for 76 Revio systems in its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, making it the most successful product announcement in PacBio's history.

On October 25, 2022, PacBio announced two new sequencing platforms, Revio and Onso. Revio is a revolutionary new long-read sequencing system designed to enable customers to dramatically scale their use of PacBio's HiFi sequencing technology by providing them with the ability to sequence up to 1,300 human whole genomes per year at 30-fold coverage for less than $1,000 per genome. PacBio believes Revio will enable the use of HiFi sequencing for large studies in human genetics, cancer research, and agricultural genomics and will usher in the next era of human genome sequencing.

Onso, an innovative benchtop short-read DNA sequencing system that is expected to provide an extraordinary level of accuracy by utilizing PacBio's proprietary sequencing by binding (SBB) technology, is designed to deliver industry-leading sensitivity and specificity for novel insights in oncology, disease research, and other applications. PacBio commenced its beta program for Onso in the fourth quarter of 2022. Corteva Agriscience, one of the beta partners, shared that they have "been extremely impressed by Onso's levels of accuracy" and that "this accuracy can open exciting new opportunities to transform agricultural biotechnology, specifically in areas like gene editing specificity analysis." PacBio expects to begin taking orders this quarter and start shipping by the end of the second quarter of 2023.

"The strong initial demand for Revio exceeded our expectations and is evidence of the significant demand for long-read sequencing at scale. We look forward to our first commercial shipments of Revio later this quarter," said Christian Henry, President and CEO of PacBio. "We are also pleased with the progress we've made with the Onso system. We have shipped Onso to multiple beta customers who are now demonstrating the extremely high accuracy of the platform in their laboratories. We believe this new level of accuracy has the potential to change the way researchers approach multiple genomic applications. With both Revio and Onso, PacBio is well positioned as we move into 2023."

**Business Updates:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Received orders for 96 instruments in the fourth quarter, which included orders for 76 Revio systems for delivery in 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Expect preliminary unaudited fourth quarter revenue of approximately $27.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately 24% compared with $36.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result, preliminary unaudited annual 2022 revenue is expected to be approximately $128.2 million, representing a decline of 2% from 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Expect annual and quarterly consumable revenue of approximately $59.9 million and $16.6 million, respectively. Consumable growth reflected 24% growth in Sequel II and IIe SMRT cells shipped in 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Placed 18 Sequel II/IIe systems during the fourth quarter compared to 48 Sequel II/IIe systems placed in the prior year quarter. The Sequel II/IIe installed base was 512 units as of December 31, 2022, compared with 374 as of December 31, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Introduced the PacBio Compatible program designed to make PacBio sequencing more accessible, which includes partners across all ends of the sequencing workflow, from automation and sample and library prep to secondary and tertiary analysis tools.

The Revio System has a U.S. list price of $779,000 and a U.S. list price of $995 for a human whole genome at 30-fold coverage.

------

The Onso System has a U.S. list price of $259,000 (including the price of the cluster generator) with a consumable U.S. list price of approximately $15 per gigabase for the 300-cycle kit.

PacBio reported unaudited preliminary revenue of approximately $27.3 million for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. PacBio's full financial results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, are not yet available.

Preliminary instrument revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately $6.1 million, compared with $16.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily due to the robust demand for Revio displacing previously-anticipated Sequel IIe sales in the fourth quarter. Preliminary consumables revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately $16.6 million, compared with $15.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Preliminary service and other revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 is expected to be approximately $4.6 million, compared with $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Total preliminary cash, cash equivalents, and investments balance as of December 31, 2022, is expected to be approximately $772.3 million.

PacBio is scheduled to present at the 41<sup>st</sup> Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on January 11, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. PacBio anticipates publishing an updated corporate presentation on January 11, 2023, to complement PacBio's remarks at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. The updated presentation will be available on the Events & Presentations Section of PacBio's website at investor.pacificbiosciences.com. The information posted on or that can be accessed through PacBio's website, including PacBio's updated corporate presentation, is not incorporated by reference into this press release, and the inclusion of PacBio's website address is an inactive textual reference only.

The preliminary unaudited financial information set forth above is subject to revision and is anticipated to be finalized in February 2023. PacBio's final, audited financial results could differ materially from the preliminary estimates above, which are not a comprehensive statement of PacBio's financial results and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for fiscal 2022 or any future period. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates. PacBio expects to report its fourth quarter 2022 results during a conference call in February, at which point it will discuss its 2022 financial results in more detail.
