2024 Financial Outlook
Today Schrödinger updated its 2024 full-year financial guidance. The company's updated financial expectations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, are as follows:
- Software revenue growth is now expected to range from 8% to 13%.
- Drug discovery revenue is now expected to range from $20 million to $30 million.
- Software gross margin is expected to be slightly lower than 2023 and in the range of 2022 based on the effect of the research grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
- Operating expense growth in 2024 is expected to range from 8% to 10%.
- Cash used for operating activities in 2024 is expected to be above cash used for operating activities in 2023, depending on the timing of cash received from collaborations.
"We have increased the lower end of our software revenue growth guidance for the year, reflecting our confidence in the opportunities to meet our growth goals and the continued enthusiasm for the deployment of computation in drug discovery across the industry," stated Geoff Porges, MBBS, chief financial officer of Schrödinger. "Collaborations continue to be an important element of our business model, and we are pleased Novartis has recognized the value of our platform and the capabilities of our team with this agreement. This quarter we added $48 million to our cash balance as a result of Lilly's acquisition of Morphic and expect to add even more capital from the payments associated with the collaboration announced today."
