QuidelOrtho Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results

Rhea-AI Summary

QuidelOrtho (QDEL) reported Q4 2024 revenue of $708 million, down from $743 million year-over-year, primarily due to lower COVID-19 and influenza revenue. Q4 non-respiratory revenue was $565 million, while respiratory revenue decreased 18% to $143 million.

Full-year 2024 revenue reached $2.8 billion, compared to $3.0 billion in 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $543 million with a 19.5% margin, down from $723 million and 24% margin in 2023.

Looking ahead, QuidelOrtho issued 2025 guidance projecting revenue between $2.60-$2.81 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $575-$615 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 22%. The company expects a $55 million negative impact from foreign currency exchange based on January 2025 rates.

Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 and FY2024 results paint a complex picture of QuidelOrtho's transformation and challenges. The company's $708M Q4 revenue represents a concerning 4.7% year-over-year decline, while the full-year revenue of $2.78B shows a more substantial 7.3% decrease from 2023.

The most striking element is the $1.82B goodwill impairment charge, which signals a significant write-down of acquired assets' value. This non-cash charge, while not affecting operations directly, suggests management's reassessment of future growth prospects and could impact future acquisition strategies.

Core business performance shows resilience amid headwinds. The Labs segment achieved 4% growth in Q4, excluding COVID-19 and non-core revenues, demonstrating strength in the recurring revenue model. However, the decline in respiratory revenue (18% in Q4) highlights the ongoing normalization of COVID-19 and influenza testing demand.

The company's cost-optimization strategy is gaining traction, with management targeting improved operational efficiency. The projected adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 22% in 2025 (from 19.5% in 2024) suggests these initiatives are expected to yield meaningful results. The strategic exit from the U.S. Donor Screening business, while creating near-term revenue pressure, should improve long-term profitability profiles.

The 2025 guidance of $2.60-2.81B in revenue incorporates a $55M forex headwind, indicating underlying business stability when adjusted for currency impacts. The projected adjusted EBITDA of $575-615M suggests management expects operational improvements to offset volume pressures.

A critical focus area is the company's margin recovery strategy. The anticipated expansion in adjusted EBITDA margins indicates that cost-savings initiatives are expected to more than offset revenue pressures, though execution risks remain. The shift toward higher-margin segments and operational streamlining could create a more resilient profit structure, but investors should monitor quarterly progress against these targets.

Strong finish to 2024 with continued progress in cost-savings initiatives to drive adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in 2025 and beyond

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Guidance

Based on its current business outlook, the Company is issuing its fiscal year 2025 financial guidance, as follows:

Total revenues (reported)	$2.60 - $2.81 billion*
Adjusted EBITDA	$575 – $615 million
Adjusted EBITDA margin	22%
Adjusted diluted EPS	$2.07 - $2.57

* Full-year revenue is expected to be negatively impacted by foreign currency exchange of $55 million based on currency rates as of January 31, 2025. Please see page 7 of the Fourth Quarter and Full-year 2024 Financial Results presentation on the “Investor Relations” page of the Company’s website for the full list of assumptions on which the Company’s 2025 financial guidance is based.

A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures for such measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. We are not, without unreasonable effort, able to reliably predict the impact of impairment charges and related tax benefits, employee compensation costs and other adjustments. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results. In addition, the Company believes any such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. See "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures that are considered non-GAAP financial measures under applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including but not limited to “constant currency Labs revenue changes, excluding COVID-19 and non-core revenues,” “constant currency respiratory revenue changes,” “constant currency respiratory revenue changes, excluding COVID-19 revenue,” “adjusted diluted EPS,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA margin,” and other non-GAAP financial measures included in the reconciliation tables accompanying this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures eliminate impacts of certain non-cash, unusual or other items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance, and the Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results and comparison to competitors’ operating results. The Company’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and reports filed with the Commission in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release.
