OraSure Technologies (OSUR) Tops Q3 EPS by 8c

OraSure Technologies (NASDAQ: OSUR) reported Q3 EPS of $0.01, $0.08 better than the analyst estimate of ($0.07). Revenue for the quarter came in at $48 million versus the consensus estimate of $41.7 million.

“We achieved strong top-line results in the third quarter driven by the performance of our Molecular Solutions business unit, which marked its highest quarter ever, with $31.7 million in total revenue. The Company’s ability to quickly respond to the need for increased COVID-19 testing resulted in $18.4 million in sales of sample collection devices for molecular testing in the third quarter, which is more than double the COVID-19 related revenue achieved in the first half of the year,” said Stephen S. Tang, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are confident in our ability to meet the massive and persistent need for COVID-19 testing and sample collection. We recently submitted an application for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our laboratory-based oral fluid SARS-CoV-2 Antibody test. To date there are no oral fluid antibody tests for COVID-19 authorized for sale in the U.S. We continue to make progress on our rapid antigen self-test and have completed studies to confirm the assay’s proprietary chemistry. Additionally, we were pleased to see growth in the quarter from our international HIV business.”
