Insights

Cytek Biosciences delivered modest revenue growth amid challenging industry conditions, with full-year 2024 revenue increasing 3.9% to $200.5 million. While Q4 revenue declined slightly by 1.3% to $57.5 million, the company demonstrated significant progress in operational efficiency and profitability metrics.

The company's profitability showed marked improvement, with full-year adjusted EBITDA surging 77% to $22.4 million. More importantly, when excluding investment income, adjusted EBITDA grew by 128% to $14.4 million, indicating substantial operational improvements. This profitability enhancement occurred despite a slight compression in annual gross margin from 57% to 55%, suggesting effective cost management elsewhere in the business.

Cytek expanded its installed base to 3,034 instruments, adding 667 new placements in 2024. This continued market penetration of their FSP™ technology demonstrates sustained demand despite funding pressures in life sciences research markets. The new Singapore manufacturing facility represents a strategic move to improve margins through lower production costs while enhancing supply chain resilience.

The company's $277.9 million cash position provides significant financial flexibility, which management is leveraging for shareholder returns through an aggressive share repurchase program. Having already repurchased nearly 4 million shares for $21.6 million in 2024, the additional $50 million repurchase authorization for 2025 signals management's confidence in Cytek's intrinsic value.

Looking ahead, Cytek's 2025 revenue guidance of $204-212 million (2-6% growth) reflects cautious optimism amid persistent market challenges. The company appears to be successfully pivoting from a pure growth focus to a balanced approach emphasizing profitability and cash generation while maintaining modest expansion.
