Management Commentary

“We began 2025 with strong momentum, delivering 276% year-over-year growth in CyPath^® Lung sales and expanding our commercial footprint across the U.S.,” said Maria Zannes, President and Chief Executive Officer of bioAffinity Technologies. “Our first-quarter results reflect both the growing demand for our noninvasive lung cancer diagnostic and the successful execution of our strategy to focus on high-value services and operational efficiency.

“During the quarter, we took decisive actions to streamline operations at our subsidiary lab by reducing labor costs, implementing operational efficiencies and discontinuing certain pathology services with suboptimal profit margins. These targeted actions will reduce costs approximately $3.8 million annually and accelerate the commercial growth of CyPath^® Lung. These changes are already translating into margin improvements and enhanced resource allocation in support of our commercialization goals.

“In parallel, patient case studies continue to underscore the diagnostic power of CyPath^® Lung in real-world settings — from avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures to identifying secondary or recurrent cancers. As we move forward, we’re encouraged by the clinical and economic validation that supports our growth, including recent operational enhancements that have increased our test throughput by 50% and lowered per-test cost by over 25%.

“We remain committed to expanding access to CyPath^® Lung for patients at risk of lung cancer and advancing new diagnostics for diseases like COPD and asthma,” Zannes added. “With every test delivered, we’re improving outcomes for patients and delivering value to our shareholders.”

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $1.9 million. Revenue was primarily generated from patient service fees, histology services, and medical director fees.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $4.5 million, compared with $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Direct costs and expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $1.4 million, down 13% from $1.6 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to targeted strategic actions implemented in March 2025. Research and development expenses decreased 7% year-over-year to $367,000, reflecting lower employee compensation and lab supply costs. Clinical development expenses rose to $138,000, driven by higher professional fees supporting the Company’s pivotal clinical trial strategy.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, up from $2.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee compensation related to administrative and sales functions, reflecting the addition of personnel and support services to scale the commercialization of CyPath^® Lung.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $2.7 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.20 per share, for the first quarter of 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, were $0.4 million, compared with $1.1 million as of December 31, 2024. Subsequent to the end of 2024, bioAffinity Technologies raised gross proceeds of $1.4 million through the inducement of warrant exercises in February 2025 and $3.3 million in a public offering in May 2025.
