Repligen Corp

On Tuesday,&nbsp;Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGEN#NASDAQ">RGEN</a>) purchased 908 Devices Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MASS#NASDAQ">MASS</a>) desktop portfolio of four devices for bioprocessing process analytical technology (PAT) applications.
The purchase consideration is a payment of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44105311/repligen-purchases-bioprocessing-analytics-portfolio-from-908-devices" rel="noreferrer noopener">$70 million in cash</a>. 908 Devices remains focused on the growth of its newly expanded handheld device portfolio for health and safety applications.
Adding these desktop assets complements and strengthens Repligen&#8217;s differentiated PAT portfolio, providing its biopharmaceutical and CDMO customers with insights to optimize development processes and improve manufacturing efficiencies.

Products acquired from 908 Devices include MAVERICK and MAVEN for real-time monitoring and control of critical bioprocess parameters; REBEL, an at-line cell culture media analyzer; and ZipChip, a high-resolution sample separation device used to characterize product quality attributes.
Concurrently, 908 Devices reported fourth-quarter sales of $18.82 million, up 31% year over year, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $16.4 million</a>. The increase was driven by a 22% increase in handheld revenue and a 56% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44105638/908-devices-announces-strategic-transformation-and-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-finan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase in desktop revenue</a>.
The installed base grew 23% year-over-year to 3,504 devices, with 219 handheld devices and 32 desktop devices placed during the fourth quarter. In 2024, Desktop revenue increased 10% to $13.2 million.
Guidance: 908 Devices expects 2025 revenues of $53 million—$55 million, up 11%—15%, excluding $1 million in revenue in the first quarter before divestiture. The company expects further acceleration above 20% in 2026.
The company now expects to achieve Adjusted EBITDA positivity by Q4 2025 and cash flow positivity in 2026, driven by improved gross margins, which are projected to reach the mid-to-high 50% range in 2025, with further expansion anticipated in 2026 following manufacturing consolidation.
Additionally, the divestiture streamlines operations, reducing headcount by approximately 33% and eliminating $20 million in annual operating losses.
William Blair writes, &#8220;We largely view the company&#8217;s divestiture of its desktop portfolio as a positive from an operational standpoint&#8230;&#8221;
Analyst Matt Larew says Repligen was already establishing a leadership position with products like KrosFlo, and the 908 portfolio will strengthen that position.
As more companies adopt continuous bioprocessing and advanced technologies become more widely used, demand for real-time and in-line analytics tools is expected to grow faster than the overall market. This acquisition aligns with Repligen&#8217;s strategy of acquiring promising technologies early at a reasonable cost while maintaining strong profit margins. It should also ease recent concerns about the types of assets Repligen is pursuing.
The analyst maintains an Outperform rating for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RGEN/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Repligen</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MASS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">908 Devices</a>.
Price Action: MASS stock is up 71.7% at $3.40 at the last check Tuesday.

Repligen Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGEN#NASDAQ">RGEN</a>)&nbsp;released its fourth-quarter adjusted EPS of 44 cents on Tuesday, down from 48 cents a year ago <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">but beating the consensus of 41 cents</a>.
The bioprocessing technology reported sales of $167.55 million, slightly up from $166.6 million a year ago, almost in line with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43844804/repligen-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $167.67 million</a>.
Olivier Loeillot, President and Chief Executive Officer of Repligen, said, "During the fourth quarter, we were very encouraged by the continued momentum across our portfolio. Total revenue in the fourth quarter grew 13%, excluding COVID-19, overcoming two points of currency headwind. Total orders outpaced sales by 6%, driven by our Filtration and Analytics franchises&#8230;While we continue to monitor China and emerging biotech,&nbsp;the overall bioprocessing market is returning to growth. Our order momentum during the second half gives us confidence that we can achieve our 2025 guidance."
Guidance:&nbsp;Repligen expects 2025 sales of $685 million—$710 million, with organic growth of 9.5%—13.5% and non-COVID revenue growth of 10%—14% compared to the consensus of $694.86 million.
The company expects adjusted EPS of $1.67—$1.76 compared to the consensus of $1.73.
William Blair says Repligen's Q4 results and 2025 outlook confirm that the bioprocessing industry is recovering strongly, with growth expected to return to normal levels next year.
Repligen's guidance reflects strong quarterly momentum, signaling a market recovery.
Compared to peers like Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) and Avantor Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVTR#NASDAQ">AVTR</a>), which project mid-to-high single-digit growth in bioprocessing, Repligen's outlook highlights its strong product portfolio and customer positioning that have driven consistent above-market growth.
Since Repligen focuses solely on bioprocessing and has minimal exposure to risks in NIH-funded research, academia, or China, analyst Matt Larew believes its guidance is more predictable than competitors with broader market and geographic exposure.
Price Action: RGEN stock is up 8.16% at $163.03 at the last check Thursday.

Repligen Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGEN#NASDAQ">RGEN</a>) released on Tuesday third-quarter adjusted EPS of 43 cents, up from 23 cents a year ago, beating the consensus of 33 cents.
The bioprocessing technology reported sales of $154.87 million, up 10% year-over-year, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41897469/repligen-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $153.23 million</a>.
Olivier Loeillot, president and CEO of Repligen, said, "I'm pleased to report strong third-quarter results, made possible by the excellent execution by our team and improving market conditions. We are encouraged to see strengthening CDMO and equipment sales in the quarter, each delivering year-over-year and sequential growth.&#8221;
The company reported record quarterly revenue for new modalities, a 20% increase year over year. CDMO and equipment revenues grew ~20% and 6% year-over-year, respectively, adding to confidence in a broader market recovery.
Guidance: Repligen raises 2024 EPS guidance from 17 cents-24 cents to 25 cents-32 cents compared to a consensus estimate of 54 cents.
Repligen expects 2024 adjusted EPS of $1.50-$1.58 compared to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40044492/repligen-lowers-guidance-on-china-weakness-analyst-expects" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior guidance of $1.42-$1.49</a> and consensus of $1.43.
The company has narrowed sales guidance from $627 million-$642 million to $630 million-639 million versus the consensus of $628.98 million.
William Blair notes that after reaffirming expectations for low-double-digit organic growth in the second half of 2024 and receiving positive feedback from industry conferences, Repligen's third-quarter earnings show that the bioprocessing recovery is on track.
The company has narrowed its guidance, now expecting about 8% revenue growth in the fourth quarter compared to last year, aligning with William Blair's and market estimates and bioprocessing peers predicting mid- to high-single-digit growth for the year-end.
Additionally, Repligen highlighted strong sales in contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) and equipment, which is a positive sign.
The analyst believes Repligen is well-positioned for long-term growth thanks to its involvement in new modalities, strong R&amp;D capabilities, and clinical exposure.
William Blair maintained the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RGEN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating for Repligen</a>.
