Exhibit 99.1
Quanterix Releases Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2024
BILLERICA, Mass. – August 8, 2024 - Quanterix Corporation (NASDAQ: QTRX), a company fueling scientific discovery through ultra-sensitive biomarker detection, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“Our research business once again delivered strong performance in the second quarter, growing double digits,” said Masoud Toloue, Chief Executive Officer of Quanterix. “Demand for Simoa sensitivity continues, as highlighted by a 35% increase in Accelerator service revenue compared to the corresponding prior year period, as customers are able to access our technology without impacting their capital expenditure budgets. For the balance of 2024, we expect to continue to execute against our strategy: delivering new menu for our research customers, innovating toward a new platform, and building the infrastructure for blood-based Alzheimer’s Diagnostics.”
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
•Revenue of $34.4 million, an increase of 10.8% compared to $31.0 million in the corresponding prior year period.
•GAAP gross margin of 58.3%, as compared to 61.7% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin of 52.3% as compared to 56.4% in the corresponding prior year period.
•Net loss of $9.5 million, an increase of $3.4 million compared to the corresponding prior year period.
•Net cash usage in the quarter was $5.1 million, and the Company ended the period with $299.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash.
Operational and Business Highlights
•The Company presented data at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC), demonstrating successful validation of a multi-marker approach for Alzheimer’s disease detection. The findings showed a multi-marker test with an algorithm improved diagnostic certainty compared to a stand-alone p-Tau 217 test, reducing the test’s intermediate zone three-fold from 31.2% to 10.5%, while maintaining overall accuracy above 90%.

•The Company announced four new partnerships to provide access to Alzheimer’s disease diagnostic testing. These partners consist of three large domestic hospital systems, Mt. Sinai, Banner Health, and UCSF, and a leading laboratory in China, KingMed Diagnostics.

•Utilizing data produced using the Company’s Accelerator lab services, the biotechnology company Annexon Biosciences reported that they demonstrated positive topline results for their pivotal phase 3 trial in Guillain-Barre Syndrome. As part of the trial, Annexon reported that they demonstrated their therapy ANX005 reduced levels of neurofilament light (Nf-L) between weeks two and four of therapy.
2024 Full Year Business Outlook
The Company has revised its 2024 revenue guidance range to $134 million to $138 million, compared to $139 million to $144 million previously due to what remains a constrained capital funding environment. This revenue range excludes revenue from Lucent Diagnostics testing, which we expect to be immaterial for 2024. The Company continues to expect GAAP gross margin percentage to be in the range of 57%-61%, and non-GAAP gross margin percentage in the range of 51%-55%. Finally, the Company anticipates 2024 cash usage (change in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash) to be at the higher end of its prior cash usage range of $25 million to $30 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, we present non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP total operating expenses, and non-GAAP loss from operations. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by including shipping and handling costs for product sales within cost of product revenue instead of within selling, general and administrative expenses. We use these non-GAAP measures to evaluate our operating performance in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in our business and our competitors. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors in assessing our operating performance within our industry and to allow comparability to the presentation of other companies in our industry where shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold for products. The non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP total operating expenses, and non-GAAP loss from operations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
