Insights

Guardant Health's Q2 2024 results show strong performance, with revenue growing 29% year-over-year to $177.2 million. Key drivers include a 14% increase in clinical tests and a 56% surge in biopharma tests. The company's raised guidance for 2024 revenue ($690-700 million) signals confidence in continued growth.

However, the widening net loss ($102.6 million vs $72.8 million in Q2 2023) is concerning, primarily due to unrealized losses on equity investments. The non-GAAP net loss improvement ($58.5 million vs $88.7 million) suggests better operational performance when excluding one-time items.

The 59% gross margin, down from 61%, warrants attention. Investors should monitor whether this trend continues, potentially impacting profitability.

The FDA approval of Shield as a first-line colorectal cancer (CRC) screening option is a significant milestone. This blood-based test could revolutionize CRC screening, potentially increasing compliance rates due to its less invasive nature compared to colonoscopies.

The upgrade of Guardant360 to the Smart Liquid Biopsy platform, combining genomics and epigenomics, represents a technological leap in liquid biopsy capabilities. This could enhance detection accuracy and provide more comprehensive insights into cancer biology.

The expansion of Guardant360 TissueNext to a 498-gene panel is also noteworthy, potentially broadening treatment options for advanced cancer patients by identifying more actionable mutations.

Guardant Health's market position in precision oncology is strengthening. The 33% growth in precision oncology revenue, driven by volume increases and improved reimbursement, indicates growing market acceptance and expanding payer coverage.

The Shield test's Medicare coverage for 45 million eligible individuals opens a substantial market opportunity. With CRC being a leading cause of cancer deaths, this could drive significant adoption and revenue growth.

However, the company faces challenges in its development services segment, with revenue declining slightly. This suggests a need to diversify revenue streams and reduce dependence on the precision oncology segment for long-term growth.

Revenue growth of 29% driven by strong clinical and biopharma volume and Guardant360 ASP tailwinds

Shield approved by FDA as primary option for CRC screening and is commercially available in U.S.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Guardant Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GH), a leading precision oncology company, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue of $177.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 29% over the second quarter of 2023
  • Reported 49,400 tests to clinical customers and 10,475 tests to biopharmaceutical customers in the second quarter of 2024, representing increases of 14% and 56%, respectively, over the second quarter of 2023
  • Raised 2024 annual guidance for revenue to a new range of $690 to $700 million, representing growth of 22% to 24%

Recent Operating Highlights

  • Received FDA approval for Shield as a first-line CRC screening option and initiated commercial launch of Shield IVD
  • Shield now meets the requirements for Medicare coverage for 45 million eligible individuals
  • Launched major upgrade of Guardant360 on Smart Liquid Biopsy platform, further extending best-in-class performance
  • Upgraded Guardant360 TissueNext to a 498 gene panel to identify more treatment options for patients with advanced cancer
  • Publication of COSMOS study data in Clinical Cancer Research further validates Reveal for MRD CRC surveillance testing in Stage II and III patients

“We had another strong quarter driven by solid volume growth, particularly for biopharma, and continued improvements to Guardant360 reimbursement,” said Helmy Eltoukhy, co-founder and co-CEO. “We also reached major milestones across our oncology business with the upgrades of Guardant360 onto our Smart Liquid Biopsy platform, a revolutionary platform that combines genomics with epigenomics, and of Guardant360 TissueNext to identify more treatment options for patients with advanced cancer. Additionally, our COSMOS study was recently published in Clinical Cancer Research and submitted to MolDx for Medicare reimbursement of CRC surveillance. We look forward to continuing this momentum throughout the remainder of the year as we deliver on our mission of giving us all more time free from cancer.”

“FDA approval of our Shield blood test for first-line colorectal cancer screening is a huge victory for Guardant and patients,” said AmirAli Talasaz, co-founder and co-CEO. “Commercial launch of Shield and CMS coverage make our blood-based screening option accessible to more than 45 million Medicare beneficiaries. Shield offers a more pleasant way to stay up to date with colorectal cancer screening and detect the disease early, when it is more easily treated.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $177.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, a 29% increase from $137.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. Precision oncology revenue grew 33%, to $166.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, from $125.2 million for the corresponding prior year period, driven by an increase in clinical and biopharma testing volume, which grew 14% and 56%, respectively, over the prior year period. The increase in precision oncology revenue was also attributable to an increase in reimbursement for our tests, due to an increase in Medicare reimbursement for our Guardant360 LDT test to $5,000, effective January 1, 2024; and an increase in both Medicare Advantage and commercial payer reimbursement. Development services and other revenue was $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $11.9 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Gross profit, or total revenue less cost of precision oncology testing and cost of development services and other, was $104.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $21.5 million from $83.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin, or gross profit divided by total revenue, was 59%, as compared to 61% for the corresponding prior year period. Precision oncology gross margin was 61% in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to 61% in the prior year period. Development services and other gross margin was 37% in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to 62% in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP gross profit was $106.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $21.5 million, from $85.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin was 60% for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to 62% for the corresponding prior year period.

Non-GAAP gross profit excluding screening was $109.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $22.1 million, from $87.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin excluding screening was 62% for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to 64% for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expenses were $205.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $202.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $178.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $180.5 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Net loss was $102.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $72.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.84 for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.67 for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year increase in net loss is primarily due to a $79.5 million increase in unrealized losses recorded for our equity security investment, partially offset by a $23.6 million impairment for our non-marketable equity security investments and other related assets recorded during the corresponding prior year period, a $19.0 million year over year improvement in loss from operations, and a $7.2 million increase in interest income.

Non-GAAP net loss was $58.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $88.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.48 for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.82 for the corresponding prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $61.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to a $85.2 million loss for the corresponding prior year period.

Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2024 was $(99.1) million, as compared to $(100.5) million for the corresponding prior year period. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2024.

2024 Guidance

Guardant Health now expects full year 2024 revenue excluding screening to be in the range of $690 to $700 million, representing growth of 22% to 24% compared to full year 2023. This compares to the prior range of $675 to $685 million, representing growth of 20% to 21%. Guardant Health continues to expect full year 2024 non-GAAP gross margin excluding screening to be in the range of 61% to 63% and total non-GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $720 to $730 million, representing a flat to 1% decrease compared to 2023. Guardant Health continues to expect free cash flow to be in the range of $(275) to $(285) million in 2024, representing an improvement of $60 million to $70 million compared to 2023.

Webcast Information

Guardant Health will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter 2024 financial results after market close on Wednesday, August 7, 2024 at 1:30 pm Pacific Time / 4:30 pm Eastern Time. A webcast of the conference call can be accessed at http://investors.guardanthealth.com. The webcast will be archived and available for replay for at least 90 days after the event.

Non-GAAP Measures

Guardant Health has presented in this release certain financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and also on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP cost of precision oncology testing, non-GAAP cost of development services and other, non-GAAP cost of screening, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit excluding cost of screening, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.

We define our non-GAAP measures as the applicable GAAP measure adjusted for the impacts of stock-based compensation and related employer payroll tax payments, contingent consideration, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities, impairment of non-marketable equity securities and other related assets, and other non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll tax payments; contingent consideration; and other non-recurring items. Free cash flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities in the period less purchase of property and equipment in the period.

We believe that the exclusion of certain income and expenses in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for investors when comparing our period-to-period core operating results, and when comparing those same results to that published by our peers. We exclude certain items because we believe that these income and expenses do not reflect expected future operating performance. Additionally, certain items are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate ongoing operations, for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and to manage our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not present the full measure of our recorded costs against its revenue. In addition, our definition of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
