Their financial reports consistently paint approximately 50% gross profit (revenue - cost of revenue). However, their R&D burn is enormous. Sales, marketing, general and admin costs are approximately equal to their gross profits.
In an alternate reality, you probably could have structured 23andme into a company making modest net profit. But that would not have matched the 6 billion price valuation either. And it's quite likely that a substantial part of the R&D burn was because they recognized the limitations of their core product.
