Read MoreHide Full Article

Revvity, Inc. (RVTY - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2024 results on Jul 29, before market open.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 4.62%. RVTY’s earnings beat estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same in one, delivering an average surprise of 3.67%.

Q2 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $694.4 million. The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at $1.13 per share, indicating a deterioration of 6.6% from the prior-year quarter.

Diagnostics Segment

Revvity’s Diagnostics business grew 1% organically in the last reported quarter on the back of strong immunodiagnostics business. Newborn Screening also showed strong growth. However, Revvity’s Newborn Screening witnessed some pressure in China. During the first quarter, the company’s Software business also performed better than the company’s expectations. This trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter as well.

Per management, the diagnostic segment is likely to witness certain volatility relating to volume-based procurement in China. Applied Genomics, which accounts for roughly a quarter of the Diagnostics segment, declined during the last reported quarter and it is likely to continue the trend, thus hurting the segment in the to-be-reported quarter as well.

Our estimate for the Diagnostic segment’s revenues is pegged at $373 million, flat year over year.

Life Sciences Segment

In the first quarter of 2024, the Life Sciences segment’s revenues declined 8% year over year due to lower demand from pharma biotech customers. This trend is likely to have continued in the quarter to be reported. Our estimate for this segment’s revenues is pinned at $321 million, indicating a 4.5% year-over-year decline.

Meanwhile, continued supply-chain challenges and inflationary pressures in some countries have fueled material costs, thereby hurting margins. However, productivity initiatives, improved pricing and strict cost control measures are likely to have benefited RVTY’s second-quarter gross and operating margins. New product introductions might have improved product mix and, thereby, gross margin.

Other Factors to Consider

In April, Revvity announced that its software and informatics division, Revvity Signals, launched Signals Synergy. Per the company, it is a software solution designed to drive greater collaboration, project management and data exchange between pharmaceutical and biotechnology sponsors with their external contract partners.

The latest product is expected to significantly boost Revvity’s Signals Software portfolio and solidify its foothold in the niche space. The company is likely to provide more details on the same in the to-be-reported quarter.

In April, Revvity also announced the launch of the Auto-Pure 2400 liquid handler from Allsheng for use with its T-SPOT.TB test. The solution, which has an intuitive software user interface, is expected to simplify lab workflows.

The latest product is expected to significantly boost Revvity’s Diagnostics segment and solidify its foothold in the infectious diseases space. RVTY may provide an update on the new launch during the second-quarter earnings call.
