Screening revenue was $24.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, primarily generated from approximately 24,000 Shield tests. Biopharma and Data revenue grew 18% to $54.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, from $46.5 million for the corresponding prior year period, driven primarily by the achievement of certain milestones of our service agreements.

Within this revenue range:

  • Oncology revenue is now expected to grow approximately 25% year over year in 2025, compared to prior guidance of approximately 20% growth. Oncology volume is now expected to accelerate greater than 30% growth in 2025 compared to 20% growth in 2024.
  • Screening revenue is now expected to be in the range of $71 to $73 million, driven by Shield volume of 80,000 to 82,000 tests. This compared to the prior range of $55 to $60 million and 68,000 to 73,000 tests.
  • Biopharma & Data revenue growth is expected to continue to be in the mid-teens range.

Guardant Health now expects full year 2025 non-GAAP gross margin to be in the range of 64% to 65%, an improvement compared to prior expectations of 63% to 64%. Guardant Health now expects total non-GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $865 to $875 million, an increase compared to the prior range of $840 to $850 million due to the continued investment in commercial team expansion and marketing activities to support the Shield product launch and existing product growth. Guardant Health continues to expect free cash flow burn to be in the range of $225 to $235 million, an improvement compared to $275 million for the full year 2024.

Webcast Information

Guardant Health will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2025 financial results after market close on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at 1:30 pm Pacific Time / 4:30 pm Eastern Time. A webcast of the conference call can be accessed at http://investors.guardanthealth.com . The webcast will be archived and available for replay for at least 90 days after the event.

Non-GAAP Measures

Guardant Health has presented in this release certain financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and also on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.

We define our non-GAAP measures as the applicable GAAP measure adjusted for the impacts of stock-based compensation and related employer payroll tax payments, contingent consideration, amortization of intangible assets, unrealized and realized losses on marketable equity securities, impairment of non-marketable equity securities, gain on extinguishment of convertible notes, and other non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted for interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll tax payments; contingent consideration; and other non-recurring items. Free cash flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities in the period less purchases of property and equipment in the period.

We believe that the exclusion of certain income and expenses in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures can provide a useful measure for investors when comparing our period-to-period core operating results, and when comparing those same results to that published by our peers. We exclude certain items because we believe that these income and expenses do not reflect expected future operating performance. Additionally, certain items are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate ongoing operations, for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and to manage our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not present the full measure of our recorded costs against its revenue. In addition, our definition of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
