23andMe’s rise compensated for a fall in sales in other consumer and research services. Operating expenditures increased to $115 million in the most recent quarter, up from $72 million the previous year. The spending rise is mostly attributable to growing personnel costs, as well as sales and marketing costs from the previously purchased telemedicine firm.
At the same time, R&D spending fell marginally as the corporation switched from the prior research cost-sharing arrangement to a royalty option. The net loss was $90 million, compared to a net loss of $42 million in the previous year’s comparable period.
