Biopharma revenue expectations, enterprise sales and customer expansion strategy, AstraZeneca collaboration, biopharma segment expectations, and implementation acceleration are the key contradictions discussed in SOPHiA GENETICS SA's latest 2025Q1 earnings call.



Revenue Growth and Market Penetration:
- SOPHiA GENETICS reported revenue growth of 13% on a reported basis and 15% on a constant currency basis for Q1 2025.

Improved Customer Implementation and Engagement:
- The company implemented 33 new customers in Q1 2025, surpassing the average of 23 customers per quarter in 2024.
- This achievement is attributed to accelerated bookings momentum, enhanced capabilities and tools for faster implementation, and increased headcount in field application scientists.

Expanding Market Reach and Cross-Selling:
- SOPHiA GENETICS added 28 new core genomic customers in Q1, with notable expansions at major institutions like Mayo Clinic and Henry Ford Hospital.
- The expansion strategy was supported by the increasing adoption of comprehensive applications and demand for more sophisticated bioinformatics solutions.

Financial Efficiency and Scalability:
