Harrison Parsons's questions to Cytek Biosciences Inc (CTKB) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Harrison Parsons from Stephens Inc. asked about the expected revenue contribution and margin profile of the new Aurora EVO and MUSE Micro systems, and whether current guidance assumes the recent high growth rates in reagents and services will continue.
Answer
CFO William McCombe explained that the high-ASP Aurora EVO would be the larger revenue contributor and supportive of margins, while the low-priced MUSE Micro would not have a significant margin impact. While not guiding specific product lines, he stated that the underlying drivers for service (installed base growth) and reagent growth (execution, product range) remain strong and should continue to produce similar results.
