On July 30, 2024, Repligen Corp (RGEN, Financial) released its 8-K filing detailing the financial results for the second quarter of 2024. Repligen Corp is a global life sciences company that develops and commercializes innovative bioprocessing technologies and systems, primarily serving biopharmaceutical drug developers and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) worldwide.
Performance Overview
Repligen Corp reported Q2 2024 revenue of $154 million, aligning with the analyst estimate of $154.12 million. However, the company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.06, falling short of the estimated $0.13. The revenue for the first half of 2024 reached $305 million, meeting the company's year-to-date sales target.
Financial Achievements and Challenges
Repligen Corp's Q2 2024 gross margin was 49.8%, slightly down from 50.2% in Q2 2023. The operating margin also saw a significant decline, dropping to 1.0% from 12.2% in the same period last year. Adjusted figures showed a gross margin of 49.6% and an operating margin of 10.1%, compared to 50.2% and 18.5% respectively in Q2 2023.
CEO Tony J. Hunt commented, “We delivered solid second quarter revenue of $154 million and first half revenue of $305 million, achieving our year-to-date sales target. We are very encouraged by orders in the quarter, with continued strength in Pharma demand and a pickup in CDMO activity. New modalities continued to show strong year-over-year momentum in both revenue and orders. Strategically, we strengthened our Proteins business with new product launches and our pending acquisition of Tantti Laboratory. We continue to expect the second half of 2024 to outpace the first half on both revenue and orders. While we are narrowing our revenue guidance to reflect incremental China weakness, we are confident in Repligen’s ability to resume above-industry growth in the second half of 2024 and into 2025.”
