Insights
Quanterix's Q4 and full-year 2024 results present a decidedly mixed picture that warrants careful consideration. While the company maintained its streak of seven consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth with an 11% Q4 increase and 12% annual growth, the forward-looking guidance signals a concerning deceleration to just 2-6% growth for 2025.
The widening Q4 net loss of $11.6 million (compared to $8.8 million in the prior year) raises questions about the company's path to profitability, though the full-year loss improvement of $10.2 million provides some counterbalance. Margins show positive momentum with Q4 adjusted gross margin improving to 57.7% from 54.7% year-over-year.
Quanterix's strategic moves deserve attention. The pending acquisition of Akoya Biosciences represents a significant pivot toward creating an integrated biomarker detection solution spanning both blood and tissue samples. This positions the company as a more comprehensive player in precision medicine diagnostics, particularly important as pharmaceutical companies increasingly require both liquid and tissue biomarkers for drug development and patient stratification.
The FDA Breakthrough Designation for LucentAD Complete (combining five Alzheimer's biomarkers) accompanied by twelve new global partnerships for Alzheimer's testing creates a compelling growth avenue. The Alzheimer's diagnostic market is poised for significant expansion following recent therapeutic approvals that necessitate accurate patient identification.
While the $291.7 million cash position provides substantial runway, the projected $55-65 million cash usage for 2025 indicates heavy continued investment. The planned launch of Simoa ONE with 10x sensitivity improvement could ultimately justify this spending if it drives instrument replacement cycles and expands the company's technological moat.
The strategic shift toward recurring revenue and vertical market focus (particularly immunology and oncology) represents a prudent business model evolution that could improve long-term stability, though near-term growth headwinds remain a challenge.
Delivers seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth
“During the fourth quarter, we delivered
On January 10, 2025, Quanterix announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire Akoya in an all-stock transaction. The proposed combination will create the first integrated solution for ultra-sensitive detection of blood- and tissue-based protein biomarkers, uniquely positioning the company to accelerate market development of new clinical tests. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to certain closing conditions including approval by both companies’ shareholders.

Operational and Business Highlights
- Announced the Company's plan to launch Simoa ONE, a new instrument, by the end of 2025. Simoa ONE is expected to enable up to a 10-fold increase in sensitivity over current Simoa instruments and to allow a substantial increase in plexing and specificity, while maintaining a simple and efficient workflow.
- Acquired EMISSION, a manufacturer of large-scale, highly-uniform dye-encapsulating magnetic beads designed for low and mid-plex assays and a mid-plex platform that reads its proprietary beads. The acquisition of EMISSION allows Quanterix to secure the supply of highly controlled beads for use in its next generation Simoa ONE platform. It also allows the Company to develop a new multi-plex segment targeting third-party OEM customers for these beads, which the Company has branded as Nova Beads, https://www.quanterix.com/nova-beads/.
- Launched 20 new assays in 2024, including fully automated Simoa® Cytokine 4-Plex Advantage PLUS Assays - combining Simoa® digital immunoassay technology and the Company’s innovative Advantage PLUS assay platform. Additionally, the Company launched the Simoa® PSD-95 Advantage PLUS Assay measuring postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95), an essential component of synaptic signaling complexes, playing a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.
- Received Breakthrough Designation from the FDA for LucentAD Complete, a multi-marker algorithmic test that combines five biomarkers (p-Tau 217, Aβ42, Aβ 40, NfL, and GFAP).
- Significant progress in building global infrastructure for Alzheimer’s disease testing through 12 new partnerships, including with Neurogen, Innovita, Neurocode, NSW Health Pathology, and IDOR – Lab Richet in the fourth quarter.
2025 Full Year Business Outlook
For 2025, on a standalone basis not giving effect to the planned acquisition of Akoya, the Company expects to report revenues in a range

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented on a
- Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin: We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest income, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, impairment and restructuring, and certain other items which include other charges or benefits resulting from transactions or events that are highly variable, significant in size, and that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing or future business operations (such as, for example, the costs we incurred in 2024 in connection with the restatement of our previously issued financial statements). These items are discussed in more detail below the tables reconciling the GAAP to non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
- Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted total operating expenses, and adjusted loss from operations: We calculate these non-GAAP financial measures by including shipping and handling costs for product sales within cost of product revenue instead of within selling, general and administrative expenses. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues.
We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operating results and trends. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in our business and our competitors. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our operating performance within our industry and to allow comparability with the presentation of other companies in our industry, such as the inclusion of shipping and handling costs in cost of goods sold for products.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the financial information presented in accordance with
Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures set forth in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the section below.
Additionally, we make certain forward-looking statements about our future financial performance that include non-GAAP financial measures, which are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertains to events that have not yet occurred. We do not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use and therefore information reconciling forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to
