LOUISVILLE, Colo., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading diagnostic solutions company, today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“We delivered a strong third quarter with revenue growing 20% to $21.8 million and continued to improve our already strong gross margins to 81%, a 400-basis point increase year-over-year,” said Scott Hutton, Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategic expansion into primary care is proving to be additive, demonstrating our ability to drive adoption in pulmonology while also partnering with them to drive upstream testing in their referral network. Additionally, our Development Services business continues to accelerate with 97% year-over-year growth and another quarter ending with a record number of dollars under contract.”

Hutton continued, “With our growing commercial organization and with the sustained positive momentum across both business units, we are well-positioned to achieve Adjusted EBITDA positivity in the fourth quarter. We believe the combination of our proven diagnostic solutions, expanding market reach, and operational excellence positions Biodesix for sustainable long-term growth as we continue to improve outcomes for patients with lung disease. Based on how we closed the third quarter and the ongoing momentum into the fourth quarter, we are increasing our revenue guidance for 2025 to $84-86 million.”

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2025 Financial Results

  • Total revenue of $21.8 million for the third quarter 2025, an increase of 20% over the prior year comparable period;
    • Lung Diagnostic Testing revenue of $19.8 million for the third quarter, an increase of 16% over the prior year comparable period; driven by an increase in total tests delivered and increase in average revenue per test. In addition to the improvements from the Company’s payer coverage and revenue cycle management activities, a major Medicare Advantage plan restarted paying current claims;  
    • Development Services revenue of $1.9 million for the third quarter, an increase of 97% over the prior year comparable period, a result of both delivering against the Company’s book of contracted business and securing new agreements;
  • Gross margin was $17.7 million, or 81% for the third quarter 2025, a 400-basis point improvement over the prior year comparable period, driven by growth in Lung Diagnostic testing, improvements in average revenue per test, and optimization of testing workflows that resulted in improvements in costs per test;
  • Operating expenses (excluding direct costs and expenses) of $24.7 million for the third quarter 2025, an increase of 10% over the prior year comparable period;
    • Increase in operating expenses is primarily attributed to an increase in sales and marketing costs due to the planned expansion of the sales team to support Lung Diagnostic sales growth, as well as to enhance Biodesix market awareness and drive product adoption;
    • Includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.1 million during the third quarter 2025, a decrease of 30% over the prior year comparable period;
  • Net loss of $8.7 million for the third quarter 2025, an improvement of 15% over the prior year comparable period;
  • Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $4.6 million for the third quarter 2025, an improvement of 18% over the prior year comparable period;
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 million as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.1 million from the period ending June 30, 2025. Change in cash included $4.8 million in net proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market offering, partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital, primarily driven by a $5.2 million increase in accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable reflects higher Lung Diagnostic Testing revenue, newly secured Development Services agreements, and the timing of cash receipts, which were collected during the fourth quarter.

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2025 Business Highlights

  • Lung Diagnostic Tests ordered in primary care increased by more than 75% during the quarter versus the third quarter of 2024;
  • Reported Development Services business dollars under contract of $12.9 million, up 16% over the prior year comparable period;
  • Expanded partnership with Bio-Rad Laboratories to develop Droplet Digital™ PCR high complexity assays;
  • Announced a Research and Development (R&D) Corporate Workshop at the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) Annual Meeting to focus on the Company’s R&D efforts, pipeline and partnerships to be held on November 12, 4:00 pm ET. A recording of the event will be available on the Company’s website.

2025 Financial Outlook

  • The Company is increasing its 2025 revenue guidance and now expects to generate between $84 million and $86 million in total revenue in 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Biodesix reported results are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Biodesix has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Biodesix uses the non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Biodesix financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Biodesix financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Biodesix historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. 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. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help 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. 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.
