Guardant Health Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Raises 2019 Revenue Guidance
Q2 2019 revenue increase of 178% over prior year period
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. August 6, 2019 – Guardant Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GH), a leading precision oncology company focused on helping conquer cancer globally through use of its proprietary blood tests, vast data sets and advanced analytics, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Recent Highlights
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $54.0 million, a 178% increase over the second quarter of 2018
Reported 11,875 tests to clinical customers and 5,285 tests to biopharmaceutical customers in the second quarter of 2019, representing increases of 77% and 112%, respectively, over the second quarter 2018
Results presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting demonstrated LUNAR RUO assay’s ability to identify early-stage colorectal cancer patients with post-operative molecular residual disease who may benefit from adjuvant therapy. Guardant remains on track to release a CLIA-validated version of the LUNAR assay for prospective clinical trials by the end of 2019
Announced plans to enroll first patient in ECLIPSE, a prospective colorectal screening study, by fourth quarter 2019
Completed an underwritten public offering raising $349.7 million in net proceeds
“During the quarter, the Guardant team made significant progress across multiple areas of our business in support of our mission to expand unprecedented access to cancer’s molecular information throughout all stages of the disease,” said Helmy Eltoukhy, PhD, Chief Executive Officer. “We are especially encouraged by the strong adoption of Guardant360 and GuardantOMNI which we are seeing, even in the early phases of shifting the market to a blood-first paradigm for genomic testing.”
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Guardant Health adopted a new revenue recognition standard (“ASC 606”) effective January 1, 2019, which primarily impacted the company’s recognition of revenue related to patient claims paid by third-party commercial and governmental payors. The company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method, which means that the total amount of revenue reported for the second quarter 2018 has not been restated in the current financial statements. Instead, the accumulated difference resulting from applying the new revenue standard to all contracts that were not completed as of adoption was recorded to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019.
Total revenue was $54.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a 178% increase from $19.4 million for the corresponding prior year period. Without the adoption of ASC 606, total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 would have been $53.6 million, a 177% increase over the corresponding prior year period. Precision oncology revenue increased 136% driven by higher testing volume and increased revenue per test. There were 11,875 clinical tests and 5,285 biopharmaceutical tests performed during the second quarter of 2019. Development services revenue increased 664% primarily from new projects in 2019 related to companion diagnostic development and regulatory approval services for biopharmaceutical customers.
Gross profit, or total revenue less cost of precision oncology testing and cost of development services, was $37.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $27.7 million from $9.4 million in the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin, or gross profit divided by total revenue, was 69% as compared to 49% in the corresponding prior year period.  
Total operating expenses were $52.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $32.1 million in the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 63%.
Net loss attributable to Guardant Health, Inc. common stockholders was $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $21.6 million in the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share attributable to Guardant Health, Inc. common stockholders was $0.13 in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $1.75 in the corresponding prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $822.9 million as of June 30, 2019.
2019 Financial Guidance
Guardant Health now expects full year 2019 total revenue to be in the range of $180 million to $190 million, representing 99% to 110% growth over the full year 2018. This compares to the company's previous full year 2019 total revenue guidance of $145 to $150 million.
