Exact Sciences (EXAS) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Exact Sciences (EXAS - Free Report) is slated to report its fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 earnings on Feb 21.
Exact Sciences is a leading cancer diagnostics company, which focuses on the development of new and innovative tests for the prevention of cancer through early detection. The company’s portfolio of FDA-approved flagship cancer screening and diagnostics tests includes Cologuard and Oncotype DX.
Let us see how things have shaped up for the quarter to be reported.
Factors to Consider
Exact Sciences reports its revenues under three segments — Screening, Precision Oncology and COVID-19 testing.
In January, the company reported its preliminary fourth-quarter 2023 figures. EXAS expects total revenues in the band of $645.5-$647.5 million, indicating an increase of 17% year over year (18% excluding COVID-19 testing).
Screening revenues are expected in the band of $486-$487 million (up 21% year over year). The uptick is likely to have been driven by higher laboratory service revenues from Cologuard and Prevention Genetics tests. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $474 million.
Precision Oncology revenues are anticipated between $159.5 million and $160.5 million (up 12% year over year). Revenues in this segment are likely to have been boosted by laboratory service revenues from global Oncotype DX and therapy selection tests. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues under this segment is pegged at $155 million.
Exact Sciences hasn’t recorded any revenues under the COVID-19 testing segment in the previous quarter as the pandemic has ended. This trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter as well.
The company also shared its preliminary full-year 2023 results. It expects total revenues in the range of $2,498.5-$2,500.5 million, suggesting an increase of 20% (23% excluding COVID-19 testing) from the 2022 figure.
Screening revenues in 2023 are expected between $1,864 million and $1,865 million (up 31% year over year), while Precision Oncology revenues during the same time frame are anticipated in the band of $628.5-$629.5 million (up 5% year over year).
COVID-19 testing revenues in 2023 are expected to be approximately $6 million, suggesting a decrease of 90% from the year-ago figure.
In the same press release, the company also announced that it has submitted the final module of the next-generation Cologuard premarket approval application to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2023. Updates regarding the same are also expected in the upcoming earnings release.
