Insights

Guardant Health delivered strong Q3 results with $191.5M revenue, up 34% YoY, exceeding expectations. Key growth drivers include increased clinical test volumes (21%) and biopharma tests (40%). The company's improved Guardant360 ASP of $3,000+ and favorable Medicare pricing of $920 for Shield demonstrate solid reimbursement momentum. The raised 2024 revenue guidance to $720-725M and improved free cash flow outlook by $70-80M signal strong business fundamentals. However, net losses widened to $107.8M, partly due to investment losses in Lunit. The $1B cash position provides adequate runway for growth initiatives.

The commercial success of Shield's launch and Medicare's decision to remove cost-sharing for follow-up colonoscopies represent significant market opportunities. The partnership with Policlinico Gemelli expands international presence, while the SCRUM-Japan GOZILA study results showing doubled survival rates strengthen clinical validation. The upgrade to Smart Liquid Biopsy is driving both account expansion and deeper penetration. These developments, combined with Medicare price increases for TissueNext to $3,500, position Guardant Health for sustained market share growth in the precision oncology space.

Shield received favorable Medicare pricing of $920

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Revenue was $191.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, a 34% increase from $143.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. Precision oncology revenue grew 35%, to $180.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, from $133.4 million for the corresponding prior year period, driven by an increase in the volume of clinical tests (i.e., Guardant360, TissueNext, Response, and Reveal tests) and biopharma tests, which grew 21% and 40%, 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 $10.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $9.6 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 $117.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $31.6 million from $85.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin, or gross profit divided by total revenue, was 61%, as compared to 60% for the corresponding prior year period. Precision oncology gross margin was 63% in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 60% in the prior year period. Development services and other gross margin was 23% in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 59% in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP gross profit was $121.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $33.7 million, from $87.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin was 63% for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 61% for the corresponding prior year period.

Non-GAAP gross profit excluding cost of screening was $124.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $34.3 million, from $89.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin excluding cost of screening was 65% for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 63% for the corresponding prior year period.

Net loss was $107.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $86.1 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share was $0.88 for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.73 for the corresponding prior year period. The year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily due to a $18.3 million increase in net unrealized and realized losses recorded for our investment in Lunit, Inc.

Non-GAAP net loss was $55.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $79.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $0.45 for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.67 for the corresponding prior year period.

2024 Guidance

Guardant Health now expects full year 2024 revenue to be in the range of $720 to $725 million, representing growth of 28% to 29% compared to full year 2023. This compares to the prior range of $690 to $700 million, representing growth of 22% to 24%. 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.

Webcast Information

Guardant Health will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2024 financial results after market close on Wednesday, November 6, 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, unrealized and realized gains and losses 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.
