Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue was $92.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a 39% increase from $66.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Precision oncology revenue grew 42% driven predominantly by an increase in clinical testing revenue which grew 54% over the prior year period. There were 20,830 clinical tests and 3,653 biopharmaceutical tests performed during the second quarter of 2021. Development services and other revenue increased 27% primarily due to the timing of project milestones related to the receipt of regulatory approval for two of our companion diagnostic programs during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross profit, or total revenue less cost of precision oncology testing and cost of development services and other, was $62.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $18.3 million from $43.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. Gross margin, or gross profit divided by total revenue, was 68%, as compared to 66% for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expenses were $159.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $98.5 million for the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 62%. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $124.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $72.9 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Net loss attributable to Guardant Health, Inc. common stockholders was $97.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $54.6 million for the corresponding prior year period. Net loss per share attributable to Guardant Health, Inc. common stockholders was $0.96 for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $0.57 for the corresponding prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2021.

2021 Guidance

Due to continued uncertainty around the global COVID pandemic, Guardant Health is maintaining its previous 2021 revenue guidance. The Company continues to expect full year 2021 revenue to be in the range of $360 million to $370 million, representing 26% to 29% growth over full year 2020. Clinical volumes for 2021 are expected to be greater than 90,000 tests, growing at least 42% over 2020.

Webcast Information

Guardant Health will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter 2021 financial results after market close on Thursday, August 5, 2021 at 1:30 pm Pacific Time / 4:30 pm Eastern Time. A webcast of the conference call can be accessed at http://investors.guardanthealth.com. The webcast will be archived and available for replay for at least 90 days after the event.

Non-GAAP Measures

Guardant Health has presented in this release certain financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and also on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP cost of precision oncology testing, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss attributable to Guardant Health, Inc., common stockholders, non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to Guardant Health, Inc. common stockholders, basic and diluted, and Adjusted EBITDA.

We define our non-GAAP measures as the applicable GAAP measure adjusted for the impacts of stock-based compensation and related employer payroll tax payments; changes in estimated fair value redeemable noncontrolling interest; contingent consideration; acquisition related expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and other non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to Guardant Health, Inc. common stockholders adjusted for interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes; depreciation; and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll tax payments; adjustments relating to non-controlling interest and contingent consideration and, if applicable in a reporting period, acquisition-related expenses and other non-recurring items.

We believe that the exclusion of certain income and expenses in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for investors when comparing our period-to-period core operating results, and when comparing those same results to that published by our peers. We exclude certain other items because we believe that these income (expenses) do not reflect expected future operating expenses. Additionally, certain items are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate ongoing operations, for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and to manage our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not present the full measure of our recorded costs against its revenue. In addition, our definition of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
