And our first question comes from the line of Patrick Donnelly with Citi. Please go ahead.
Patrick Donnelly: Hey, guys, taking the question Hey, how are you.
Patrick Donnelly: I guess when we look at the 2024 kind of Opex piece can you just talk about it seems like a little bit of a ramp. There you guys are still talking about being cash flow breakeven how does the partnership piece impact that just in terms of the opex side and again the cash flow breakeven.
Speaker Change: Love to talk to the impact there.
Speaker Change: Yes, Patrick and thank you for the question.
Speaker Change: During the during the year 2024, we do expect some quarterly fluctuations throughout opex.
Speaker Change: Given legal expenses R&D funding and the implications timing of our cost savings when it comes to some of those partnerships one of the key strengths of those partnerships is allowing us to leverage our existing infrastructure, which minimizes the investments we need directly to support them.
Speaker Change: So thats the area when we during the last quarter, we talked a little bit about it where when you look at some of these partnerships while the gross margins may be lower than our overall gross margins. The operating income is higher because what we do is we leverage all of that infrastructure again, not having to add a lot of extra resources to support.
Speaker Change: Okay. That's helpful and I guess staying on the partnership I think you talked about the potential for it to add a couple of percent to 25% revenue growth is that just kind of on that self collected blood product are there other products that should be launched in and again I guess on the shelf collected.
Ken McGrath: As we move into 2024, we continue to focus on driving additional savings in our non-production. These incremental cost reductions are important as we look to utilize our cash to invest in growth and achieve our goal of operating cash flow breakeven in our core business by the end of 2025. GAAP operating income was $3.9 million in the fourth quarter, and non-GAAP operating income was $13.6 million.
Speaker Change: Maybe just an update just on the timelines there.
Speaker Change: The approval process would be would be helpful.
Speaker Change: Yes.
Speaker Change: And you call this out and Youre right on that.
Speaker Change: <unk> approvals that kind of dictate the timing of that safra self collected small volume blood offering, which which is why we're really planning for.
Speaker Change: The ramp up this year and the revenue the incremental revenue for 2025 to answer the other part of your question about what else is included that we are looking toward.
Ken McGrath: We ended the quarter with zero debt and total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $290 million, which is a $65 million increase from the prior quarter. The increase in our cash balance during the fourth quarter was primarily driven by $41 million of operating cash. We also collected $24 million in Q4 related to the achievement of capacity expansion milestones at our Opus Way facility. Turning to guidance, we are guiding to first quarter revenue of $50 to $54 million, which includes core revenue of $29 to $31 million. As Kerry discussed, we expect core revenue growth to improve as we move through 2024, and we remain confident in our ability to accelerate core growth in the coming year. For IntelliSwap, we expect revenue of $21 to $23 million in Q1, and approximately $40 million in total in the first half of the year as we complete the remaining portion of our largest contract with the U.S. With that, I'll turn the call back to Kerry to conclude.
Speaker Change: The potential too.
Speaker Change: Launch.
Speaker Change: Other diagnostic tests and while they and we haven't talked about specifically what those are.
Speaker Change: I would say that.
Speaker Change: It's a plan that contemplates the launch of the blood test this year with some line of sight into launch of additional diagnostic test next year.
Speaker Change: And did I is there a part of that that I still need to address I think Patrick yes.
Patrick Donnelly: That covers it and one last quick one just on the Covid piece.
Speaker Change: You talked a little bit about the government contract just the cadence of Covid Rems. After a nice number this quarter and then.
Speaker Change: Just update on how you're thinking about the endemic run rate would be it would be really appreciate it. Thank you guys.
Speaker Change: Yes, right now we have visibility as you recall as you mentioned to about $40 million from the main contract most of that will be in the first half.
Speaker Change: After that we will enter the endemic phase I believe what we guided last quarter for the full year was $40 million to $45 million in total <unk> revenue.
Speaker Change: So you can infer from that the a couple of million going forward beyond that from that first contract yeah, and I'd, just say add a little color to de minimis volumes outside of the government contracts and we definitely compete in every.
Speaker Change: State local level as well we have a few of the kind of a regional grocery chains and otherwise that we've talked about in the past, but it really in comparison small small dollars verse.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: Over the past year, OTI delivered meaningful progress on our strategic imperative. We've strengthened our foundation, including strong cash flow generation, improved operating efficiency, and instilling an enterprise-wide focus on continuous improvement to fuel how we serve customers and grow. We completed the milestones included in our contract with the U.S. government related to our capacity expansion at our Opus Way facility earlier than expected, and we made progress in streamlining our operational footprint in order to leverage the automation and infrastructure at our new facility. We grew core revenue by 2% in 2023 while navigating macro and industry headwinds.
Speaker Change: As of the time the contracts, which is again why Ken said it we've guided to that 40 to $40 million to $45 million range. So we just describe it as a small volume.
Speaker Change: Great. Thank you guys.
Speaker Change: Thanks, Patrick.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: For next question.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: Alright. Our next question comes from the line of Jacob Johnson of Stephens. Please go ahead.
Jacob Johnson: Hey, guys. Good evening, Hi, Gary Hi, Ken Good evening.
Jacob Johnson: Maybe just starting on the <unk> guidance.
Jacob Johnson: It implies the base business is going to be down somewhere in the teens.
Jacob Johnson: <unk> carry you talked about kind of growth in the back half and you mentioned a number of opportunities, but also cited the macro I'm just curious kind of as we think about that returning to growth in the back half of the year how much of that is within your control or how much visibility do you have in that return to growth.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: We expanded the portfolio of products that our sales team can provide to our customers in several important segments, including entering the U.S. syphilis testing market with Diagnostics Direct here in 2024. And in early January, we announced our strategic partnership and investment in Sapros, which is expected to expand and accelerate our product and innovation pipeline. We expect our partnership with Saffros will accelerate our core revenue growth beginning in 2025. Overall, OTI continues to execute in order to deliver on our vision of transforming health through actionable insights, powering the shift that connects people to health care wherever they are. Our mission, to improve access, quality, and value of healthcare with innovation in effortless tests, sample management solutions, and services, is aligned with where healthcare is headed in the coming years. With that, I'm pleased to turn the call over to the operator for Q&A. Stephen.
Speaker Change: Yes, so I'll start Jacob with some of our.
Speaker Change: Some of the visibility and kind of the path that we see.
Speaker Change: In the second half that includes what I talked about in the press.
Speaker Change: Prepared remarks, which is the distribution agreements for 2024.
Speaker Change: We're very excited about diagnostics direct and entering the U S. A syphilis testing market. That's an AD that comes in with our public health infectious disease portfolio and you know really nice momentum that we have and in HIV for example.
Speaker Change: And we have a number of other partnerships as well includes international diagnostic tests, we talked about last year that we have a partner in international Syphilis. For example, Hep C and Hep B. We also have three other partnerships and substance abuse testing it includes.
Speaker Change: One of our recently announced partnerships with soft swab Tech I won't list them, all but I would say those distribution agreements and the ramp up in 'twenty four we've talked about <unk> for 25, but I'd point to some of these other.
Operator: Thank you. At this time, we will conduct the question and answer session. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star 11 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star 11 again.
Speaker Change: Opportunities in <unk>.
Speaker Change: In 'twenty four.
Speaker Change: As one element another and I wont list all of these but another that I would just highlight for you here is the diversification of our customer base, we've been talking about that along the way we've shared highlights of that and it's both new customers as well as.
Patrick Donnelly: Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. And our first question comes from the line of Patrick Donnelly of Citi. Please go ahead. Hey guys, thanks for taking the question. Hey, how are you?
Speaker Change: New agreements with sort of valued key customers that we've been working with and just the outlook. We have on their ordering patterns for for total year again, I just sort of reiterate this we see this a path in the past really isn't a strength in the in the <unk>.
Ken McGrath: I guess when we look at, you know, the 2024 kind of OPEX piece, can you just talk about, you know, it seems like a little bit of a ramp there, you guys are still talking about being cash flow breakeven. How does the partnership piece impact that, you know, just in terms of the OPEX side, and again, the cash flow breakeven? I just would love to talk about the impact there. Yeah, Patrick, and thank you for the question.
Speaker Change: Half.
Speaker Change: Got it thanks for that Gary.
Speaker Change: And it leads to my next question.
Speaker Change: You mentioned a variety of these kind of.
Speaker Change: Distribution type agreements.
Speaker Change: You've been clear that kind of partnerships are key to your strategy, especially as it relates to capital allocation, but I feel like on this call Rick we've talked a little bit more about distribution agreements can you just kind of discuss the strategy. There. It sounds like it's kind of leveraging your existing infrastructure, but I'm just kind of curious your thought process about doing more of these distribution type deals.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: During the year 2024, we do expect some quarterly fluctuations throughout OPEX, you know, given legal expenses, R&D funding, and the implementation time of our cost savings. When it comes to some of those partnerships, one of the key strengths of those partnerships is allowing us to leverage our existing infrastructure, which minimizes the investments we need directly to support. So, that's an area where, and we talked about this during the last quarter, where when you look at some of these partnerships, while the gross margins may be lower than our overall gross margins, the operating income is higher because what we do is we leverage all of that infrastructure, again Okay, that's helpful. And I guess staying on the partnership, I think you talked about the potential for it to add a couple percent to 25% revenue growth. Is that just kind of on that self-collected blood product?
Rick: Yeah, you're exactly right and you know we've been talking about this for at least 18 months as long as I've been here you know part of what we.
Speaker Change: We have as a company that turned in the face of Covid to serve the pandemic.
Speaker Change: Was both on the sample collection side, where a huge number of that effort went to Covid collection for molecular tests and then obviously on the diagnostic side and then tell us what and what that did and I think we were transparent about it we tried to be transparent about it was that it took an innovation pipeline and really for.
Speaker Change: Because it around a key public health need.
Speaker Change: And that's why we started talking about about partnerships. It was so that we can both invest internally in the areas of our development strengths, but also put more of those complementary portfolios very quickly into our sales teams.
Speaker Change: <unk>, so that we could better serve the market with while we were simultaneously strengthening our financial foundation that that opportunity to better serve while we're completely leveraging the capabilities of very strong sales channel really strong customer.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: Are there other products that should be launched? And again, I guess on the self-collected one, maybe just an update on the timelines there, the approval process would be would be, "Yep." And you call this out, and you're right on that it's regulatory approvals that kind of dictate the timing of that Safra self-collected small volume blood offering, which is why we're really planning for the ramp up this year and the revenue, the incremental revenue for 2025. To answer the other part of your question about what else is included that we are looking toward, the potential to launch other diagnostic tests. And while, you know, they and we haven't talked about, you know, specifically what those are, I would say that, you know, it's a plan that contemplates the launch of the blood tests this year with some line of sight into the launch of additional diagnostic tests next. And did I, is there a part of that that I still need to address, Patrick? Yeah, nope, nope, I think that covers it. And one last quick one just on the COVID piece.
Speaker Change: Asian ships, and just a credibility and a longevity of having served in this space, whether it be public health clinical or on the millennials sample collection side, our extensive diagnostic pharma biotech customers and our expansion into areas like animal health and <unk>.
Speaker Change: Byron mental research and beyond so I'd say, we did it because we needed to we knew we needed to and we leveraged our strengths to really put together some great agreements with great partners and we're going to leverage.
Speaker Change: All of that's good about our capabilities and strengths to.
Speaker Change: Change the acceleration on that success.
Speaker Change: Got it that's helpful. Gary Thanks for taking the questions that I'll leave it there.
Gary: Great. Thanks Jacob.
Speaker Change: Q1 moment for our next question.
Speaker Change: Next question comes from the line.
Speaker Change: Brandon Couillard of Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Speaker Change: Hey, Thanks. This is Matt on for Brandon, maybe one for Ken I think prior you talked about gross margins in the mid <unk> for 2024, it sounds like and tell us what assumptions haven't changed much for maybe some of these newer partnerships are lower gross margin, but operating margin is mid 40 is still the right range as we think about.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: You talked a little bit about the government contract, just the cadence of COVID revs after, you know, a nice number this quarter. And then, you know, just the update on how you're thinking about the endemic run rate would be really appreciated. Thank you. Yeah, right now we have visibility, as you mentioned, to about $40 million from the main contract. Most of that will be in the first half.
Speaker Change: Gross margins for full year 'twenty for you.
Speaker Change: Yes, as you mentioned, we've guided towards mid <unk> last call, we're maintaining that outlook for the full year.
Speaker Change: Recognize that within the core between quarters, there may be some fluctuations based on how we ramp up cost savings. The <unk> volume as you mentioned and overall product mix. So there could be fluctuation quarter to quarter, but for the whole year, we're still maintaining mid forties.
Speaker Change: Okay. Thanks, and then on the cost savings here it sounds like you exceed the $15 million in 'twenty, three and maybe unlock some additional productivity enhancements beyond that.
Ken McGrath: After that, we will enter the endemic phase. I believe what we guided last quarter for the full year was $40 to $45 million in total IntelliSwap revenue. So you can infer from that the couple million going forward beyond that from that first contract. Yeah, and I just say to add a little color to it the minimum volumes outside of the government contracts. And we definitely compete in every state and at the local level as well.
Speaker Change: Is that the right way to think about it and then maybe talk about some of the impact and timing of some of the other areas you called out like semiconductors consolidation among other things.
Speaker Change: Yes, yes, and Youll see those impacts are.
Speaker Change: <unk> implemented throughout the year.
Speaker Change: You nailed it right one of the big areas as consolidation the other is automation.
Speaker Change: Leveraging our existing processes.
Speaker Change: And as we as we highlighted we have identified a list of those projects and are implementing those projects now throughout the year and maintaining our target of by exiting 2020 for our core business cash flow from operations will be breakeven.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: We have a few of the kind of regional grocery chains and others that we've talked about in the past. But really, in comparison, small dollars versus the contracts, which is, again, why Ken said that we've guided to that $40 to $45 million range. So we just describe them as small volumes.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Super Thank you.
Speaker Change: Thanks, Matt.
Speaker Change: Alright. Thank you for your question one moment for the next one.
Speaker Change: Okay.
Speaker Change: Next question comes from the line of Andrew Cooper Raymond James Your line is now open.
Andrew Cooper: Hey, everybody thanks for the questions.
Andrew Cooper: Let me just first kind of a high level. One I think you talked about it a little bit already but just.
Patrick Donnelly: Great, thank you guys. Thanks, Patrick. Thank you. One moment for our next question. Alright, our next question comes from the line of Jacob Johnson of Stevens. Please go ahead. Hey, good evening. Hey, Carrie.
Andrew Cooper: Adding a lot of products for distribution, which I think makes sense given the.
Andrew Cooper: The business that you have and the capabilities to just give you but just.
Andrew Cooper: How do you think about that view on <unk>.
Andrew Cooper: Trending more towards the distribution business versus wanting to have more proprietary offerings.
Jacob Johnson: Hey, Ken. Good evening. Maybe just starting on the one cue guidance.
Andrew Cooper: And then how do you think about the opportunities I think with at least some of these to maybe bring them in house down the road what are some of the puts and takes as you contemplate them and what could the margin increase look like.
Operator: You know, it implies the base business is going to be down somewhere in the teens, in one cue, but Kerry, you talked about kind of growth in the back half, and you mentioned a number of opportunities but also cited the macro. I'm just curious, kind of as we think about that return to growth in the back half of the year, how much of that is within your control, or how much visibility do you have in that return to growth? Thank you. One moment for our next question, from Brandon Couillard of Jeffries. Please go ahead.
Andrew Cooper: That actually occur for some of these distributed products today.
Speaker Change: Yeah, Thanks, Andrew I'll leave margin to that and then and we'll address that at the end I'll just say philosophically, we really like the partnership model that allows us to leverage our strengths and access innovation now with these are these are.
Andrew Cooper: We're a fairly small company and these are pretty small partners and we have spent a lot of time, while rebuilding our financial base by which to do this to have the opportunity to be very thoughtful and judicious about what we pick and we're picking.
Andrew Cooper: Products and partnerships that really fit in our portfolio and you'll see sort of bi partner, where we choose to be exclusive and we think that that makes sense and where some <unk>.
Brandon Couillard: Thanks, this is Matt on for Brendan, maybe one for Ken. I think previously you talked about gross margins in the mid 40s for 2024. Sounds like Intelliswap's assumptions haven't changed much. Maybe some of these newer partnerships are lower gross margin, but better operating margin. Is the mid-40s still the right range as we think about gross margins for full year 24 year? So there could be fluctuation quarter to quarter, but for the whole year, we're still maintaining the mid-40s.
Andrew Cooper: We've made a strategic investments like we did in <unk>, because there are sort of more elements to that strategic agreements and we have the potential to co fund.
Andrew Cooper: Co develop what I would say by giving me. Those examples is this is a part of a.
Andrew Cooper: Big picture strategy that we've been very thoughtful about and aligns with our multiyear.
Andrew Cooper: Innovation Road map that we put together and landscapes and went out looking for these pieces.
Andrew Cooper: But I would just describe it as very thoughtfully come into our portfolio because we truly believe we have an opportunity to accelerate them. You'll also see that that mix is across portfolios and sales teams. So we are intentional about what we're adding to diagnostics, both domestically and interim <unk>.
Ken McGrath: Thanks, Matt. Yeah, thanks, Andrew. I'll leave a margin at the end.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: And, you know, we'll address that at the end. But, philosophically, you know, we really like the partnership model that allows us to leverage our strengths and access innovation now. With these, you know, these are, we're a fairly small company, and these are pretty small partners.
Andrew Cooper: Nationally the amount you hear about syphilis U S testing.
Andrew Cooper: Probably not a big surprise, but really great news, but not a big surprise to see us entering that market.
Andrew Cooper: So whether it's the diagnostics.
Andrew Cooper: Play, we're picking or the team that we're putting it into the substance abuse partnerships. For example are a very different sales team that are our core diagnostic sales team.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: And we have spent a lot of time, while rebuilding our financial base by which to do this, having the opportunity to be very thoughtful and judicious about what we pick. And we're picking products and partnerships that really fit in our portfolio. And you'll see, you know, sort of by partner, where we choose to be exclusive. And we think that that makes sense.
Andrew Cooper: So just to bring it all together I would say, it's a part of our a well defined strategy. We've been communicating we've been forecasting that this was.
Andrew Cooper: An important part of our growth plan and we're excited to share more about each of these along the way.
Andrew Cooper: To deliver as proof points the growth the elevating our core core growth in doing that just like we've been talking about in terms of margin.
Andrew Cooper: Ken maybe to cut back.
Andrew Cooper: And to build on and add also to a carrier said, we're exploring all types of growth, particularly when it comes to our strategy both organic inorganic all different deal types to Terry's point really fit with our strategy.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: And where some, you know, we've made a strategic investment, like we did in Saffros, because, you know, there are sort of more elements to that strategic agreement, and we have the potential to co-fund and co-develop. What I would say by giving you those examples is this is a part of a big picture strategy that we've been very thoughtful about and aligns with our multi-year innovation roadmap that we put together and landscaped and went out looking for these pieces that I would just describe as very thoughtfully coming into our portfolio because we truly believe we have an opportunity to accelerate them. You'll also see that that mix is across portfolios and sales teams. So we're intentional about what we're adding to diagnostics, both domestically and internationally. I mean, the amount you hear about syphilis US testing, probably not a big surprise but, you know, really great news, but not a big surprise to see us entering that market. You know, whether it's the diagnostics, super, super helpful.
Andrew Cooper: The luxury right now and it would be.
Andrew Cooper: Pretty strong financial position.
Andrew Cooper: To really look and choose the ones that are the best fit.
Andrew Cooper: When it comes to margins when you think about distribution, specifically again think of it as P&L geography, the gross margins, maybe a little bit lower than our overall gross margins, but because we leveraged significantly kind of the opex to existing opex infrastructure, there's not a lot of incremental cost on that and so when you go to the bottom line, it's actually incremental.
Speaker Change: Accretive to our overall operating income margins and I know I'm, making up a long answer Andrew but I'm going to add this.
Andrew Cooper: We think it's important to have multiple shots on goal, we use that phrase and we talk about it.
Andrew Cooper: We are very much open to M&A.
Andrew Cooper: Again, just as the size of company. We are we think we will continue to be super judicious about that.
Andrew Cooper: Many of our agreements are exclusive many are multiyear.
Andrew Cooper: We put a lot of effort into how we make those durable on partnerships that can really pay off.
Andrew Cooper: But we have opportunities to do more and our our modeling doesn't require that every single one of these.
Kerry Eglinton-Manner: B the blockbuster, we're sure going to put the effort into that which is why we've diversified across teams and our strategy, but a part of this is ensuring that we make smart selections and really leverage our strengths and I think I'd just say to you we're really clear on what those strengths are.
Speaker Change: Super Super helpful.
Andrew Cooper: Maybe just one more from me. Just when we think about that core growth improving through the year and the commentary about, you know, the partnership starting to contribute more through that year, just to kind of level set, what, what sort of growth expectations do you have for, let's call it the historical core, the business that, you know, we've known for some time? What is the outlook as we think about kind of that traditional product suite relative to what's being contributed from the partnership? Yeah, well, we don't provide product-specific guidance. We are looking for growth across all aspects of the portfolio. But just from the distribution agreements, obviously, that'll add incremental growth. But we are looking for growth in all avenues, depending on the particular opportunities that present themselves in the market conditions.
Speaker Change: Maybe just one one more for me.
Speaker Change: Just when we think about that core growth improving through the year and the commentary about the partnerships starting to contribute more.
Speaker Change: Through that year, just to kind of level set what what sort of growth expectations do you have for let's call. It the historical core the business that we've known for some time.
Speaker Change: What is the outlook as we think about kind of that traditional.
Speaker Change: Product suite relative to what's being contributed from the partnerships.
Speaker Change: Yes, while we don't provide product specific guidance, we are looking for growth across all aspects of the portfolio.
Ken McGrath: But just from the distribution agreements, obviously that will add incremental growth, but we are looking for growth in all avenues, depending on the particular opportunities that present themselves in the market conditions.
