LOUISVILLE, Colo., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading diagnostic solutions company, today announced its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Biodesix delivered another strong quarter, highlighted by 34% revenue growth, 42% growth in Diagnostic Testing revenue, and gross margins, which increased to 82%,” said Scott Hutton, Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance reflects continued adoption of our blood-based lung diagnostics, expanding reimbursement coverage, and improving sales force productivity. Diagnostic testing volumes grew 38% year-over-year while operating expenses excluding direct costs increased only 7%, demonstrating meaningful operating leverage and a 56% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA.”

Hutton continued, “In delivering against our mission to conquer lung cancer and other diseases, we believe our combination of clinical evidence, reimbursement strength, commercial execution, and disciplined expense management positions Biodesix to continue delivering sustainable growth while advancing toward profitability.”

Business and Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter 2026

• Diagnostic Testing revenue was $25.4 million in the second quarter, representing 42% growth, driven by a 38% increase in test volumes to 20,900 and higher average revenue per test year-over-year. The improvement in average revenue per test was primarily attributable to expanded payer coverage and continued improvements to revenue cycle management;
• Development Services revenue of $1.5 million in the second quarter 2026, as compared to $2.1 million in the prior year period reflecting timing of project completion and revenue recognition. The Development Services pipeline is strong and supports expectations for growth over the remainder of 2026;
• Total revenue of $26.9 million in the second quarter 2026, an increase of 34% over the respective prior year comparable period;
• Gross margin was 82% in the second quarter, a 200-basis point improvement over the respective prior year comparable period. The Company continues to deliver strong gross margins driven by higher Diagnostic Testing volumes, improved average revenue per test, and continued optimization of laboratory workflows, resulting in a lower cost per test;
• Operating expenses (excluding direct costs and expenses) of $27.4 million for the second quarter 2026, an increase of 7% over the respective prior year comparable period. The Company expects continued operating leverage as our expanded sales team gains experience, increases productivity, and delivers sustained performance;
  • Includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $0.8 million during the second quarter 2026, a decrease of 21% versus the respective prior year comparable period;
• Net loss of $7.3 million for the second quarter 2026, an improvement of 37% over the respective prior year comparable period;
• Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $3.2 million in the second quarter 2026, a 56% improvement over the respective prior year comparable period;
• Cash and cash equivalents of $30.0 million, an increase of 17% over the period ending March 31, 2026. Change in cash included $6.5 million of net proceeds from our at-the-market program. We believe current cash, expected growth in revenue, and ongoing operational leverage provide sufficient liquidity to execute our growth strategy.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Biodesix reported results are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Biodesix also presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance, for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and as an additional measure of our performance for the purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods, and helps our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of Net loss or Loss from operations. In addition, we believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, helps investors make comparisons between our Company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as Net loss adjusted to exclude interest, income tax expense, if any, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishments, net, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, net, other income, net, and other non-recurring items. Non-recurring items are excluded as they are not representative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for Loss from operations, Net loss, and other GAAP measures.
