NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- San Diego life science technology developer Illumina (ILMN) said its third-quarter revenue would come in well below Wall Street expectations and it suspended its outlook for the rest of the year.
The company said it now sees revenue of $235 million for the quarter vs. the average analysts' view for revenue of $278 million. Illumina attributed the shortfall to delays in customer purchases because of the uncertain economy, excess capacity created by a new product launch in the second quarter, a drop in reagent usage for its Genome Analyzer installed customer base, and lower-than-expected upgrades to its HiSeq 2000 systems.
Shares were plunging 30.8% to $27.62 in premarket trading Friday.
ServiceSource (SREV), the San Francisco-based provider of cloud-based service revenue management technology, forecast third-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization above $2.5 million with revenue seen exceeding $49 million. For the full year, the company said it now expects revenue above $195 million, better than its prior projection for revenue ranging from $190 million to $192 million. The current average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for revenue of $46.1 million in the third quarter and $191.9 million for the year. The company's prior forecast was for adjusted Ebitda of between $500,000 and $1 million and revenue of $45 million to $46 million. Shares were surging 12.4% to $15.
