Foundation Medicine reported total revenue of $30.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $19.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $26.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Revenue from clinical testing in the first quarter of 2016 was $10.2 million, compared to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The company reported 8,985 clinical tests in the first quarter of 2016, a 14% increase from the same quarter last year. This number includes 7,957 FoundationOne® tests and 1,028 FoundationOne® Heme tests. Revenue from biopharmaceutical customers more than doubled year-over-year to $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. This growth was fueled by the achievement of milestone revenue during the first quarter. The results of 2,622 tests were reported to biopharmaceutical customers in this year's first quarter. "Foundation Medicine delivered a solid first quarter highlighted by strong revenue growth and healthy clinical volume," said Michael Pellini, M.D., chief executive officer of Foundation Medicine. "Since the beginning of the year, we have also made great strides in generating a tremendous amount of data to support the clinical utility of our comprehensive genomic profiling approach across a diverse set of cancers. We expect that these data, coupled with our best-in-class portfolio of analytically validated assays, which now includes FoundationACT, will be critical differentiators with physicians, payers, and most importantly, patients." The company's molecular information knowledgebase, FoundationCORE, grew to nearly 80,000 patient cases. FoundationCORE is a unique asset and critical component of the value that Foundation Medicine delivers to its biopharmaceutical and physician customers. The increasing scale and breadth of a high quality, clinically relevant oncology data set derived from the company's analytically validated testing platform continues to enhance clinical practice and enable improved outcomes for patients. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were approximately $36.5 million compared with $34.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Net loss was approximately $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, or a $0.50 loss per share.
