"We are pleased with our performance in the quarter, especially given the
economic and market conditions," said Patrick J. Balthrop, president and chief
executive officer of Luminex. "We achieved record instrument shipments during
the third quarter, and record instrument revenue as continuing to grow our
installed base of instruments is a strategic priority for Luminex. We continued
to grow our Assay Group revenue, led by our innovative Respiratory Viral Panel.
Although we reported a sequential decline in our bulk consumable sales, we
believe this is a temporary phenomenon. We expect our consumables to return to
growth in the near term.
"We are encouraged by early indicators for the fourth quarter of 2009, as well
as the longer term, given our pipeline of products, enhanced investment by our
partners, and our robust royalty revenues," continued Balthrop. "Our gross
margins were healthy at 64 percent for the quarter and we continue to exercise
good cost and expense control."
