TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 7, 2019
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXDX) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
"Our placement and revenue results for the third quarter came in below our expectations due to an elongated sales cycle and the timing of commercial go-lives during the quarter," said Larry Mehren, president and chief executive officer of Accelerate Diagnostics, Inc. "However, we saw several encouraging signs of improvement during the quarter, including a record number of go-lives in September, an increasingly robust sales funnel and continued progress with our respiratory trial and in China. As momentum in placements and go-lives continues to improve, we remain on pace to achieve the low end of our 300-400 placement target. Looking ahead, we acknowledge the need for greater consistency and predictability in our results, and we are focused on improving our commercial execution under Jack Phillip's leadership, as we continue our pursuit of bringing Accelerate's life-saving technology to as many patients as possible worldwide."

Year-to-Date 2019 Highlights
