Harrison Parsons's questions to Cytek Biosciences (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 in 2025. He also questioned if the full-year guidance assumes the recent high growth pace in reagents and services will continue.
Answer
CFO William McCombe clarified that the high-ASP AURORA EVO will be the larger revenue contributor and will be supportive of margins, while the lower-priced MUSE Micro will not have a significant margin impact. He confirmed that the underlying drivers for service growth (installed base) and reagent growth (improved execution, broader product range) remain strong and are expected to continue producing similar growth rates in the second half of the year.
