  • "We are definitely taking share. I think we've been very focused in our technology development to focus on first, application -- first and then moving to others. And a big bet that we did around the time of the IPO actually was our focus on methylation and liquid biopsy. And right now, we're seeing the fruit of that investment where in some ways it's a little bit overexposed in a good way to liquid biopsy." - Dr. Emily Leproust

Executive Summary

Twist Bioscience reported a record-setting QQ3 2024 quarter with revenue of $81.5 million, up 28% year over year, driven by robust demand in SynBio (Express Genes portfolio) and strong NGS performance. Gross margin improved by approximately 900 basis points to 43.3% versus 34.4% a year ago, supported by Express Genes and favorable NGS mix. Management highlighted ongoing product expansion (Multiplexed Gene Fragments up to 500 bp, Express Antibodies for CHO and HEK293) and a growing MRD/NDRD pipeline in NGS, plus BIopharma activity with an impairment in the quarter. Net income was -$85.6 million and adjusted EBITDA was -$22 million, reflecting the company’s continued investment phase and one-time impairment charges in Biopharma. Cash position remained solid at about $289.4 million, with operating cash flow improving sequentially. The company guided for FY2024 revenue of roughly $310–$311 million (up ~27%), with 4Q revenue guidance of $82–$83 million and gross margin around 44%. Importantly, Twist reiterated a multi-quarter path to margin expansion and profitability, forecasting gross margins north of 50% by the end of FY2025 and adjusted EBITDA breakeven in the near term. The results and commentary position Twist as a high-velocity growth company—prioritizing margin improvements, capacity expansion, and portfolio breadth to sustain above-market growth in SynBio and NGS while managing Biopharma impairment and geopolitical headwinds in BioSecure.
