  • Reiterates Full Year 2024 Core Revenue Guidance of $280 million, Improves Earnings Per Share Guidance for 2024

EL MONTE, Calif. / Aug 02, 2024 / Business Wire / Fulgent Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLGT) (“Fulgent,” or the “Company”), a technology-based company with a well-established laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Results:

  • Total Revenue of $71.0 million
  • Core Revenue1 grew 5% year-over-year to $70.2 million
  • GAAP loss of $8.7 million, or ($0.29) per share
  • Non-GAAP income of $4.7 million, or $0.15 per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $727,000
  • Cash from operations of $4.3 million
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities of $837.9 million as of June 30, 2024

Note:

1) Core Revenue is revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP minus revenue from COVID-19 testing products and services including COVID-19 NGS testing revenue, each as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and margin, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, are described below under “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, GAAP income (loss), GAAP gross profit and margin, and GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, in the accompanying tables.

Ming Hsieh, Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Laboratory Services continue to be a source of strength for Fulgent, fueling our initiatives and business model, with momentum in Precision Diagnostics. In Therapeutics Development, we are off to a good start with initial enrollment of our Phase 2 trial of FID-007 in Head and Neck Cancer, and we continue to move our next candidate, FID-022, through preclinical studies toward an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the end of 2024. In the meantime, with our projected revenue from Laboratory Services, we believe we are well-positioned to execute our strategy.”

Paul Kim, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We continue to be on track with the operational objectives we set at the beginning of 2024, remaining in an enviable cash position with flexibility to execute.”

Outlook:

For the full year 2024, Fulgent expects:

  • Core Revenue of approximately $280 million
  • GAAP loss improvement from approximately ($2.25) per share to approximately ($1.95) per share
  • Non-GAAP loss improvement from approximately ($1.05) per share to approximately ($0.30) per share
  • Cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities of approximately $800 million as of December 31, 2024*

*Cash expenditures may be higher or lower than currently estimated due to a variety of factors and circumstances, including as a result of the Company’s ongoing stock repurchase program or other expenditures outside the ordinary course of business.

Conference Call Information

Fulgent will host a conference call for the investment community today at 8:30 AM ET (5:30 AM PT) to discuss its second quarter 2024 results. The call may be accessed through a live audio webcast in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website, http://ir.fulgentgenetics.com. An audio replay will be available at the same location.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain information set forth in this press release and/or to be discussed on the Company’s earnings call, including non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and margin, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Fulgent believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the performance of the Company’s business, excluding certain income or expense items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company’s operating results. Fulgent defines non-GAAP income (loss) as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, plus amortization of intangible assets, plus equity-based compensation expenses, plus or minus the non-GAAP tax effect, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the non-GAAP tax effect was calculated by applying the statutory corporate tax rate on the amortization of intangible assets and equity-based compensation expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the non-GAAP tax effect was calculated by excluding from the GAAP provision the impact of the amortization of intangible assets and equity-based compensation expenses. Fulgent defines adjusted EBITDA income (loss) as GAAP income (loss) plus or minus interest (expense) income, plus or minus provisions (benefits) for income taxes, plus equity-based compensation expenses, plus depreciation and amortization, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s operations. Fulgent defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP plus equity-based compensation included in cost of revenue as shown in the table below. Fulgent defines non-GAAP gross margin by taking non-GAAP gross profit and dividing it by GAAP revenue. Fulgent defines non-GAAP operating profit (loss) by taking GAAP operating profit (loss) and adding equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated by taking non-GAAP operating profit (loss) and dividing by GAAP revenue. Fulgent may continue to incur expenses similar to the items added to or subtracted from GAAP income (loss) to calculate non-GAAP income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA income (loss); accordingly, the exclusion of these items in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an implication that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure of net income (loss), gross profit and margin, and operating income (loss) and margin, in evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in conformity with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by Fulgent may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies.
