Biodesix Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results and Highlights

Third quarter 2022 core Lung Diagnostic revenue of $9.2 million increased 102% over the comparable period in 2021;

U.S. Federal Supply Schedule Contract expands coverage to Veterans Health Administration and Military Health System Medical Centers for its entire Lung Diagnostic portfolio;

Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:00 a.m. ET

BOULDER, CO, November 3, 2022 – Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, today announced its financial and operating results for third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

“Our core lung diagnostic testing momentum through the third quarter resulted in record test volume and revenue. Lung diagnostic revenue grew 102% over the third quarter of 2021 and 26% over the second quarter 2022,” said Scott Hutton, President and CEO. “In addition to a focus on sales growth, we have also accomplished several specific strategic reimbursement goals, including all five of our core lung diagnostic tests now being covered by Medicare and the addition of these tests to the Federal Fee Schedule contract for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. These achievements have us well positioned for strong growth and continued high gross margin contributions as we look to the fourth quarter 2022 and beyond. We also remain committed to being a data-driven company through the expansion of our body of supportive clinical data and were proud to have recently participated in the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) annual meeting where we had several key presentations.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of 2021 (where applicable):

Total revenue of $11.1 million, an increase of 70%, driven primarily by strong year-over-year growth in core lung diagnostics:
o
Core lung diagnostic revenue of $9.2 million, reflected a year-over-year increase of 102% driven primarily by the increased adoption of Nodify Lung nodule management tests (Nodify CDT & Nodify XL2 tests) and the recent GeneStrat NGS commercial launch;
o
COVID-19 testing revenue of $1.3 million reflected a year-over-year increase of 154% that was driven primarily by testing volume under a now expired contract with the State of Colorado;
o
BioPharma Services revenue of $0.7 million decreased 55% year-over-year. COVID-related delays in clinical study enrollment and sample shipping logistics have begun to recover but are still impacting timelines for existing and new agreements;
Third quarter 2022 gross profit of $7.5 million, or 67% gross margin as compared to 58% gross margin in the comparable prior year period primarily driven by the growth of sales in our higher-margin core lung diagnostics;
Operating expenses (excluding direct costs and expenses) of $18.1 million, an increase of 7% driven primarily by growth in sales and marketing which support the record growth in core lung diagnostics sales as well as the recent GeneStrat NGS™ commercial launch;
o
Includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.2 million as compared to $1.4 million;

 


 

Net loss of $13.7 million, an increase of 19%, driven primarily by a gain on extinguishment of $3.1 million in the third quarter 2021 related to the debt forgiveness under the Small Business Administration Loan forgiveness program and higher interest costs of $1.5 million partially offset by a reduction in operating loss of $2.5 million or 19%;
Cash and cash equivalents of $15.2 million as of September 30, 2022;
o
Raised net proceeds of $1.8 million during the quarter through equity offerings;
o
Includes payments during the quarter for principal repayment of $2.0 million on the 2021 Term Loan and $2.1 million for scheduled milestone payment to Indi.

2022 Financial Outlook

The Company expects to be at the high end of its previously disclosed total revenue guidance for 2022 of $37.5 million and $39.5 million. Our guidance contemplates minimal COVID-19 and BioPharma Services revenue in the fourth quarter and continued growth within our core lung diagnostic testing.
