(Nasdaq: GXDX), a specialized laboratory services provider, today reported revenues of $50.8 million for the third quarter of 2009, which includes a $4.4 million benefit from changes in accounting estimates resulting primarily from strong cash collections related to prior period revenue. Third quarter revenue increased 58% over revenue of $32.1 million for the comparable period in 2008, which included a $2.5 million benefit from changes in accounting estimates.
"Our performance in the third quarter was the product of exceptional execution, reflected by the increase in sales and new customer acquisitions, even during what is typically the slower summer vacation season," said Tina S. Nova, Ph.D., President and CEO of Genoptix. "By the end of September we were servicing approximately 1,300 community physicians across the country and managing more than 14,700 patient cases, an increase of approximately 45% from the number of cases managed during the same period in 2008."

Operating income for the third quarter of 2009 was $16.4 million, or 32% of revenues, compared to operating income of $8.6 million, or 27% of revenues, for the same period in 2008.
Net income was $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, or $0.53 diluted earnings per share (EPS), based on 18.0 million weighted average common shares outstanding and a tax rate of 43%. This compares to net income of $15.4 million for the third quarter of 2008, or EPS of $0.87, based on 17.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding, which would have been reduced by $0.57 if taxed at the comparable rate of 43%.
