Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Thanks, Jason, and thank you to everyone for joining us today. We are pleased to provide an update on the progress OraSure is making on the three pillars of our strategic transformation: one, strengthening our foundation; two, elevating our core growth; and three, accelerating profitable growth. A few notable items since last quarter include that we generated $41 million of operating cash flow in Q4 and grew our cash balance to $290 million. For the full year 2023, our cash and short-term investments increased by $180 million. We continue to execute on our COVID-19 contract, and we delivered stronger than anticipated InteliSwab volumes during the quarter. Our enterprise-wide focus on driving improved operating efficiency continues to unlock incremental cost savings, including gross margin expansion and reduced overhead expenses. In February, we signed a strategic distribution agreement with Diagnostics Direct, which allows us to enter the US Syphilis testing market with the first CLIA-waived treponemal test. Of course, earlier in the quarter, we also announced our investments and strategic distribution relationship with Sapphiros, a consumer diagnostics company with unique technology platforms that plan to enable low-cost, high-performance, next-generation diagnostics and sample collection devices. We expect the distribution of Sapphiros' products will add at least two percentage points to revenue growth in our core business, beginning in 2025. Starting with costs as we continue to strengthen our foundation. For the full year of 2023, we exceeded our target of $15 million in annualized cost savings. Over the last 18 months, we have developed an enterprise-wide mindset that is focused on continuous improvement and operational efficiency. As such, we have identified and are working on a number of opportunities that are expected to generate additional productivity enhancements and cost reductions in 2024 and beyond, including consolidating facilities, further leveraging our automation capabilities, and managing our non-production costs. These initiatives give us confidence in achieving our target of operating cash flow breakeven for our core business by the end of 2024. As we previewed on our last earnings call in Q4, we collected the final milestone payments from the US government related to the completion of our capacity expansion at our Opus Way facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We also continued to make progress on consolidating our footprint by transitioning one of our distribution facilities into Opus Way in order to unlock operating efficiencies and cost savings. Moving to COVID-19, InteliSwab generated $42 million of revenue in Q4. As we discussed last quarter, we have visibility to order trends that are expected to fulfill the remaining portion of our largest contract with the US government and complete our deliveries during the first half of 2024. Looking at our core business, which excludes COVID-related products, core revenue in Q4 increased slightly on a year-over-year basis. Core revenue growth was primarily driven by strong HIV sales in the US and international markets, which were partially offset by declines in non-product revenue and molecular lab services. We've discussed for the past 18 months that external partnerships are a fundamental part of our strategy to drive profitable growth in our core. We continue to execute on each of our initiatives to accelerate our innovation pipeline and expand our product portfolio. We've been sharing examples of strategic distribution agreements that build upon our existing strengths in areas such as infectious disease and sexual health. Along those lines, we are delighted to announce a new agreement with Diagnostics Direct, a New Jersey-based innovator that allows us to distribute their Syphilis health check on a semi-exclusive basis in the US. Syphilis is a growing public health epidemic, and Diagnostics Direct's Syphilis Health Check is the first FDA-cleared CLIA-waived rapid point-of-care syphilis test. Earlier this month, the CDC released new recommendations on syphilis testing explicitly stating, 'Accurate POC serologic antibody test for Syphilis can shorten the time to treatment because the infection can be identified at the time of the visit or encounter.' Our agreement with Diagnostics Direct allows us to enter the US Syphilis testing market, serving all channels and customers aside from a defined group of clients whom Diagnostics Direct will continue to directly support. Fundamentally, we are excited to add Syphilis Health Check to our sexual health portfolio and we view it as an important tool in the nation's response to Syphilis as a public health crisis and for clinical care more broadly. In addition to diagnostics, we are also expanding our portfolio in other important product categories. In our substance abuse testing business, we've entered into an agreement with Veriteque USA to be a distributor for SwabTek, an easy-to-use surface testing technology that can quickly detect and differentiate concealed substances. We are pleased to add the SwabTek kits to our portfolio of drug and alcohol testing products, allowing us to help keep workplaces, schools, and other critical environments safe. In molecular sample management solutions, we have entered into an agreement with Anaerobe Systems to be a distributor of portions of their microbiome portfolio. Anaerobe Systems is a manufacturer of high-quality anaerobic culture kits and media that are highly complementary to our microbiome portfolio. OTI will be the exclusive distributor of the biome preserve anaerobic microbiome collection kit in order to better serve our clients with more comprehensive solutions. Shifting to our current portfolio of molecular sample management solutions, fourth quarter revenue from those products was consistent with our expectations and we continue to create positive momentum in establishing new partnerships and commercial relationships. We are also extending relationships across segments and have signed multiyear agreements with a diverse set of existing customers, which we believe demonstrates their confidence and commitment to the long-term opportunities in the genomics market. As an example, we signed a multiyear agreement with GeneDx to provide saliva collection devices that will be used for pediatric exome and genome testing. GeneDx is a pioneering force in medical genetics, working to expand access to diagnostic insights especially, those focused on pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental delays and rare diseases. Looking at the overall market environment as we entered 2024, we see end segments that remain subdued as our customers adapt to the post-pandemic environment, macroeconomic uncertainty, and evolving priorities, research and otherwise. Those factors and the uncertainty and timing for sustained recovery are resulting in a muted outlook for core revenue in the first quarter. For the full year 2024 and beyond, we remain confident in our opportunity to deliver core growth. Our view is supported by multiple factors. First, the expansion of our product portfolio through the distribution agreements we've been discussing, which leverage our sales infrastructure and customer relationships. We expect the contribution from these agreements to increase as we move through the year. Second, our success over the last two years in diversifying our client base through the addition of new and expanded relationships with diagnostics, pharma, and biotech companies along with other innovators. We expect the revenue from customer relationships that we've launched in recent quarters will continue to grow during 2024. Third, our current expectations for ordering patterns from our sample management solutions from some of our key customers throughout 2024. Fourth, our view similar to outlooks discussed by our peers and others externally that underlying market growth in the life sciences industry will begin to improve in the second half of 2024. Turning to our innovation roadmap, we continue to make progress on our initiatives to accelerate profitable growth through organic and inorganic investments. At the beginning of the year, we announced our strategic relationship and investments in Sapphiros. As a part of this partnership, OTI gains exclusive commercial and distribution rights for key product lines in Sapphiros' development pipeline that are expected to strengthen our portfolio, such as blood collection devices and new diagnostic tests. We also see opportunities for co-funding and co-development of additional innovative offerings as our partnership progresses. Overall, the partnership is off to a great start and our teams are working really well together in multiple areas including R&D collaboration and in preparation for the future launch of Sapphiros' initial self-collected small-volume blood product, timing of course, subject to regulatory review. As we discussed in January, from a financial standpoint, we expect distribution of Sapphiros' products to add at least two percentage points to revenue growth in our core business beginning in 2025. Sales of Sapphiros' products are expected to be accretive to OraSure's operating profit beginning in 2026, due to our ability to leverage our existing infrastructure, capabilities, and customer relationships. We anticipate a modest amount of incremental SG&A expense in 2024 and 2025 to successfully launch new Sapphiros products in the market, and we believe our investment in Sapphiros is an efficient method to deploy capital, preserving flexibility for additional organic and inorganic innovation.
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
Thanks, Carrie. I'm happy to discuss our results for the fourth quarter of 2023 and provide updates on our financial outlook. In Q4, we delivered total revenue of $75.9 million. COVID-19 products, predominantly InteliSwab, contributed $41.7 million of revenue in the fourth quarter, which was above the high end of our guidance range. Purchasing patterns under our contract with the US government were slightly stronger than expected during the quarter. Core revenue, which excludes COVID-19 products, was $34.2 million in the fourth quarter, representing 0.4% year-over-year growth. Within core revenue, our diagnostic products generated $17.2 million of revenue in Q4 and grew 19% year-over-year. This growth was driven by HIV test sales in the US and international markets. Looking at molecular sample management solutions, fourth quarter revenue of $13 million increased 9% on a year-over-year basis which was in line with our expectations. Core revenue growth from diagnostics and molecular sample management solutions in the fourth quarter was offset by year-over-year declines in non-product revenue and molecular services revenue. As a reminder, non-product revenue is primarily related to funded R&D projects, grants, and royalties, which are lumpy and not key growth drivers within our long-term strategy. From a gross margin perspective, our GAAP gross margin in the fourth quarter was 46.3% compared to 40.5% in last year's fourth quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin was 49.7% compared to 40.9% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin expansion in Q4 was driven by production efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives. For the full year 2023, our GAAP gross margin of 42.3% increased by 400 basis points compared to 2022 and our non-GAAP gross margin of 45.5% expanded by 540 basis points versus the prior year. Overall, we believe we can drive additional gross margin expansion over the coming years and we remain focused on delivering efficiencies across our enterprise, including consolidating facilities, driving procurement savings, further leveraging our automation capabilities, and streamlining our product portfolio. Shifting to operating expenses, our total operating expenses in the quarter were $31.2 million, which includes $3.3 million for impairment of acquired intangible assets and certain manufacturing equipment and $3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense. As we move into 2024, we continue to focus on driving additional savings in our non-production expenses. 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 2024. GAAP operating income was $3.9 million in the fourth quarter. The non-GAAP operating income was $13.6 million. 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 flow. 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 the first quarter revenue of $50 million to $54 million, which includes core revenue of $29 million to $31 million. As Carrie discussed, we expect core revenue growth to improve as we move through 2024, and we remain confident in our ability to elevate core growth in the coming years. For InteliSwab, we expect revenue of $21 million to $23 million in Q1 and approximately $40 million total in the first half of the year as we complete the remaining portion of our largest contract with the US government.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
With that, I'd like to turn the call back to Ken to discuss our financial results and guidance.
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
Thanks, Carrie. Over the past year, OTI delivered meaningful progress on our strategic imperatives. 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 US 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. We expanded the portfolio of products that our sales team can provide to our customers in several important segments, including entering the US Syphilis testing market with Diagnostics Direct here in 2024. And in early January, we announced our strategic partnership and investment in Sapphiros, which is expected to expand and accelerate our product and innovation pipeline. We expect our partnership with Sapphiros 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 healthcare 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?
Operator, Operator
Thank you. At this time, we will conduct the question-and-answer session. And our first question comes from the line of Patrick Donnelly of Citi. Please go ahead.
Patrick Donnelly, Analyst
Hey guys. Thanks so much for taking the question. How are you? 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 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 just would love to talk through the impact there?
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
Yes, Patrick, thank you for your question. In 2024, we anticipate some quarterly variations in our operating expenses due to legal costs, research and development funding, and the timing of our cost savings initiatives. Regarding our partnerships, a significant advantage is that they enable us to utilize our current infrastructure, which reduces the need for substantial investments to support them. In the last quarter, we discussed how, even though the gross margins from these partnerships might be lower than our overall gross margins, the operating income is actually higher because we can leverage our existing resources without needing to add many additional ones.
Patrick Donnelly, Analyst
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 2025 revenue growth. Is that just kind of on that self-collected blood products? Are there other products that should be launched? And again, I guess on the self-collected one maybe just an update just on the timelines there. The approval process would be helpful.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Yes, you're right that the timing of our Sapphiros self-collected small-volume blood offering is influenced by regulatory approvals. That's why we're planning for a ramp-up this year and expecting incremental revenue in 2025. Regarding your other question, we are exploring the possibility of launching additional diagnostic tests. While I can't share specifics, our plan includes launching the blood test this year, with some visibility into introducing more diagnostic tests next year. Is there anything else about that that I need to clarify, Patrick?
Patrick Donnelly, Analyst
Yes. No, that covers it. And one last quick one. Just on the COVID piece. You talked a little bit about the government contract. Just the cadence of COVID revenues after a nice number this quarter and then just the update on how you're thinking about the endemic run rate would be really appreciated. Thank you guys.
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
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. 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 InteliSwab revenue. So you can infer from that a couple of million going forward beyond that from that first contract.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
And I'd just add a little color to de minimis volumes outside of the government contracts. We definitely compete at every state local level as well. We have a few of the kind of regional grocery chains and otherwise 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 million to $45 million range. So we just describe it as small volume.
Patrick Donnelly, Analyst
Great. Thank you, guys.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Thanks, Patrick.
Operator, Operator
Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from the line of Jacob Johnson of Stephens. Please go ahead.
Jacob Johnson, Analyst
Hey, Carrie. Hey, Ken. Good evening. Maybe just starting on the 1Q guidance. It implies the base business is going to be down somewhere in the teens in 1Q. But Carrie, 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?
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
I will begin by discussing our expectations and visibility for the second half of the year. This includes the distribution agreements we have in place for 2024. We are particularly enthusiastic about Diagnostics Direct and our entry into the US Syphilis testing market, which enhances our public health infectious disease portfolio, alongside the positive momentum we are experiencing in HIV. We also have several other partnerships, including those related to international diagnostic tests that we mentioned last year, such as partnerships in international Syphilis, Hep C, and Hep B. Additionally, we have formed three partnerships in substance abuse testing, one of which is our recently announced collaboration with SwabTek. While I won’t go through all of them, I believe these distribution agreements and the growth we anticipate in 2024 are significant. We've discussed our plans for Sapphiros in 2025, but I want to highlight other opportunities for 2024 as well. Another important point I want to emphasize is the diversification of our customer base, which we have been addressing throughout. We have shared updates on this, showcasing both new customers and renewed agreements with important existing clients. This gives us confidence in their order patterns for the entire year. To summarize, we see a strong path ahead for the second half of the year.
Jacob Johnson, Analyst
Got it. Thanks, Carrie. And that kind of leads to my next question. You mentioned a variety of these kind of distribution-type agreements. You've been clear that kind of partnerships were key to your strategy, especially as it relates to capital allocation. But I feel like on this call 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.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
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. Part of what we have as a company that turned in the face of COVID to serve the pandemic 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 diagnostics side in InteliSwab. 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 focuses around a key public health need. And that's why we started talking about partnerships. It was so that we could both invest internally in the areas of our development strengths but also put more of those complementary portfolios very quickly into our sales team's offerings, so that we could better serve the market while we were simultaneously strengthening our financial foundation. That opportunity to better serve while we're completely leveraging the capabilities of a very strong sales channel, really strong customer relationships, and just a credibility and a longevity of having served in this space, whether it'd be public health, clinical, or on the sample collection side, our extensive diagnostic pharma, biotech customers, and our expansion into areas like animal health, environmental research, and beyond. So I'd say we did it because we needed to. We knew we needed to. And we leveraged our strength to really put together some great agreements with great partners. And we're going to leverage all that's good about our capabilities and strengths to change the acceleration on that success.
Jacob Johnson, Analyst
Got it. Yeah. That’s helpful, Carrie. Thanks for taking my questions. So I leave it there.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Great. Thanks, Jacob.
Operator, Operator
Thank you. One moment for the next question. Next question comes from the line of Brandon Couillard of Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Matthew Stanton, Analyst
Hi thanks. This is Matt on for Brandon. Maybe one for Ken, I think prior you talked about gross margins in the mid-40s for 2024. It sounds like InteliSwab assumptions haven't changed much. Maybe some of these newer partnerships are lower gross margin but better operating margin is mid-40s still the right range as we think about gross margins for the full year 2024?
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
Yeah. As you mentioned, we guided towards mid-40s last call. We're maintaining that outlook for the full year. Recognize that within the quarters there may be some fluctuations based on how we ramp up cost savings, the InteliSwab 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-40s.
Matthew Stanton, Analyst
Okay. Thanks. And then, on the cost savings here, it sounds like you exceeded the $15 million in 2023 and maybe unlock some additional productivity enhancements beyond that. 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 items you called out like site consolidation among other things. Thanks.
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
You will notice those impacts implemented throughout the year, and you are correct. One of the main focus areas is consolidation, while the other is automation. We are making use of our existing processes. As we mentioned, we have identified and are currently working on a list of those projects throughout the year while still aiming for our goal of achieving breakeven in core business cash flow from operations by the end of 2024.
Matthew Stanton, Analyst
Super. Thank you.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Thanks, Matt.
Operator, Operator
All right. Thank you for your question. One moment for the next one. Next question comes from the line of Andrew Cooper of Raymond James. Your line is now open.
Andrew Cooper, Analyst
Hi, everybody. Thanks for the question. Maybe just first, kind of a high-level one, I think you talked about it a little bit already, but just adding a lot of products for distribution which I think makes sense, given the business that you have and the capabilities to distribute. But just how do you think about that view on trending more towards the distribution business versus wanting to have more proprietary offerings? 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 should that actually occur for some of these distributed products today?
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Thank you, Andrew. I will discuss margins at the end. Philosophically, we appreciate the partnership model, which enables us to utilize our strengths and access innovation. Being a relatively small company, we work with smaller partners and have invested considerable effort in rebuilding our financial foundation to make thoughtful and selective choices. We are focusing on products and partnerships that align with our portfolio, and you will see specific partners where we choose exclusivity, which we believe is sensible. For some, like our strategic investment in Sapphiros, there are additional elements to the agreement that offer opportunities for co-funding and co-development. These examples illustrate our broader strategy, which is carefully aligned with the multi-year innovation roadmap we developed while identifying key components to enhance our portfolio. We believe we can accelerate these initiatives. This mix will also reflect across our portfolios and sales teams, as we intentionally expand diagnostics both domestically and internationally. The buzz around Syphilis testing in the U.S. likely comes as no surprise, but it’s encouraging for us to enter that market. Whether it involves diagnostics or the distinct sales teams dedicated to substance abuse partnerships, which differ from our core diagnostic sales group, it all ties back to our well-defined strategy. We have been conveying this focus as a crucial aspect of our growth plan and look forward to sharing updates and proof points that showcase our core growth, as we've discussed. Now, regarding margins, Ken, back to you.
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
And to build on and add also to what Carrie said, we're exploring all types of growth still when it comes to our strategy, both organic and inorganic, all different deal types, to Carrie's point that really fit with our strategy. We have the luxury right now of being in a pretty strong financial position to really look and choose the ones that are the best fit. When it comes to margins, when you think about distribution specifically, again think of it as a P&L geography. The gross margins may be a little bit lower than our overall gross margins, but because we leverage significantly kind of the OpEx, the existing OpEx infrastructure, there's not a lot of incremental cost on that end. So when you go to the bottom line it's actually incremental and accretive to our overall operating income margins.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
And I know I'm making this a long answer, Andrew, but I'm going to add this. We think it's important to have multiple shots on goal. We use that phrase, and we talk about it. We are very much open to M&A. Again, just as the size of the company we are, we think we will continue to be super judicious about that. Many of our agreements are exclusive. Many are multiyear. We put a lot of effort into how we make those durable and partnerships that can really pay off. But we have opportunities to do more. And our modeling doesn't require that every single one be the blockbuster. We're sure going to put the effort into that, which is why we've diversified across teams in our strategy. But a part of this is ensuring that we make smart selections and really leverage our strength. And I think I just said to you we're really clear on what those strengths are.
Andrew Cooper, Analyst
Super, super helpful. Maybe just one more for me. Just when we think about that core growth improving through the year and the commentary about the partnership starting to contribute more through that year, just to kind of level set, 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? What is the outlook as we think about kind of that traditional product suite relative to what's being contributed from the partnerships?
Ken McGrath, Chief Financial Officer
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 will add incremental growth, but we are looking for growth in all avenues depending on the particular opportunities that present themselves and the market conditions.
Andrew Cooper, Analyst
Okay. Great. I will stop there. Thank you.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Thanks, Andrew.
Operator, Operator
Thank you for your questions. This does conclude the question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn it back to Carrie for closing remarks.
Carrie Eglinton Manner, President and CEO
Great. Thank you so much for everyone's participation and we thank you for your continued interest in OraSure. Have a great night. Thank you, Stephen. Bye-bye.
Operator, Operator
Okay. Thank you for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect.
