  • With that, I'd now like to turn it over to Ming. Please go ahead.

  • Ming Hsieh - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Thank you, Lauren. Good morning, and thank you for joining our call today. I will start with some comments on the third quarter of 2025 in our two business lines. Then Brandon will review our product and go-to-market updates for our Laboratory Services business. And Paul will conclude with the financial and guidance before we take your questions.

  • We are pleased with our third-quarter results and sustained the momentum in the business. As we move through the year, our results are testament to the progress we have made on our strategic objectives in both our Laboratory Services and the Therapeutic Development business.

  • We have shown both sequential and year-over-year growth and efficiency in Laboratory Services, with our investment in AI and digital pathology solutions, while making strong pipeline progress our clinical candidates. As a result of a momentum in our business, we are raising our outlook for the remainder of 2025.

  • Our Therapeutic Development pipeline is on track and progressing well. Our first clinical candidate, FID-007, is progressing through a Phase 2 clinical trial in combination with cetuximab in our patients with a recurring or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma -- with 39 patients that have been randomized and 36 have received at least one dose of study treatment as of the date cutoff date of September 25, 2025.

  • The preliminary data was presented at the ESMO Congress on October 20, 2025. FID-007 combined with cetuximab, demonstrate a meaningful anti-cancer efficacy at both dose level for the first-line and the second-line treatment of R/M HNSCC over 35 patients (inaudible) valuable for the efficacy at a time this preliminary data was revealed.

  • The objective response rate or ORR for the 75-milligram per square meter arm, and 125-milligram per square meter arm or 44% and 59%, respectively. And the 51% overall when both arms are combined. The median progression survival for the 75-milligram arm and 125-milligram arm were 9.2 months and 7.8 months, respectively. The overall PFS was 7.8 months compared to the historical 2.3 months of the standard care therapies.

  • FID-007 also exhibits manageable safety and tolerability profile. Particularly, no Grade 3 and above peripheral neuropathy has been reported today. As of today, we have a total of 43 patients enrolled and expect to complete patient enrollment by end of 2025 with a full data readout in 2026.

  • Our second candidate, FID-022, began a Phase 1 trial and the first dose level has been successfully completed. While the second dose level will commence this month. FID-022 is a nano encapsulated, [SN 30A] for the treatment of solid tumors, including potentially colon, pancreatic, ovarian, and bile duct cancers. I'm encouraged by the continued progress of our clinical pipelines and the potential for both FID-007 and FID-022. These drug candidates address heavily pretreated patients with very few options left, and I hope we were able to provide alternatives to better their lives.

  • Overall, I'm pleased with the progress we have made this year in both our business area. Our pharma R&D efforts are progressing faster, better, and more cost-effective than planned. Additionally, our Laboratory Services is greatly benefit from our investment in AI technology, which makes our services more efficient and more precise, as Brandon will discuss shortly.

  • I would like to thank our employees, partners, and stakeholders for your hard work and your loyalty in the great quarter of our business. We look forward to further progress in the remainder of 2025.

  • I will now turn over the call over to Brandon Perthuis, our Chief Financial Officer, to talk more about our Laboratory Services business. Brandon?

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Thanks, Ming. It was again another excellent quarter delivering nearly $84 million in Laboratory Services revenue. Breaking down our results by business area, Precision Diagnostics was up $3.4 million or 7.3% sequentially and was up $7.2 million or 16.4% year over year. BioPharma was up $1 million or 15.4% sequentially, and was up $3.3 million or 83.4% year over year. Anatomic pathology was down $2.1 million or 7.6% sequentially due to timing of collections. However, it was up $1.8 million or 7.2% year over year.

  • In the last quarter, we introduced an enhanced version of our whole genome sequencing that incorporates RNA analysis to improve diagnostic yield. This new offering has sparked strong interest from both existing and prospective clients. Building on that momentum, we're pleased to announce the launch of our ultra rapid whole genome sequencing service.

  • This solution provides a preliminary report within 48 hours, followed by a comprehensive report within five days. The primary focus for this service is the neonatal intensive care unit, or the NICU, where studies have shown that whole genome sequencing can significantly improve patient outcomes and support more efficient healthcare delivery. The data suggests that implementing rapid genome sequencing as a first-line test in the NICU will change medical management for up to 87% of babies and reduce healthcare costs up to $15,000 per child.

  • Our second exciting announcement centers around expansion of our Beacon Carrier Screening service. We've consistently pushed the boundaries to remain at the forefront of genetic screening, having been the first US laboratory to offer a panel with over 700 genes, still the largest of its kind to the best of our knowledge.

  • Now we're taking another major step forward with the launch of [Beacon K], which expands our panel to 1,000 genes. This enhancement will further strengthen our ability to detect rare genetic conditions.

  • Beacon has earned a strong reputation as a leading carrier screening solution. Powered by our proprietary platform and advanced informatics, Beacon consistently delivers high analytical detection rates, accurate differentiation of pseudogenes, and reliable copy number variant calls. Additionally, our turnaround time remains exceptional, averaging just 8.8 days, roughly twice as fast as many other laboratories.

  • We have mentioned on previous calls the significant investment we have made in digital pathology. This has allowed us to digitize our slides instead of the traditional method of microscopy. There are several advantages to digital pathology, but perhaps the most powerful one is our ability to utilize and develop AI to help make our pathologies faster and better.

  • Until very recently, we were using a third-party image management system or IMS, but it had limitations. However, we're excited to announce we have developed and launched our own proprietary IMS which we are calling [EZOPath].

  • EZOPath was created to address the growing demand for custom features necessitated by our high daily case throughput to support all lines of business and to enable the deployment and integration of AI tools to assist our pathologists in their diagnosis. EZOPath provides a case management solution with possible integrations with laboratory information systems or LISs, provides data storage for digital pathology images and metadata, enables collaboration by pathologists through sharing of annotations and comments, and integrates best-in-class AI tools developed in-house and integrated from third parties.

  • As an enterprise IMS, it enables rapid investigation of digital pathology slides and output from AI modules for expedited reporting. We are committed to creating the highest quality and most efficient pathology lab possible, and this is a big step in that direction. With a strengthened product portfolio, outstanding laboratory performance, and an expanded sales team, we believe we are well positioned for continued growth, and we're pleased to once again raise our annual guidance.

  • I want to sincerely thank our entire team for their hard work and dedication, and we look forward to finishing 2025 on a strong note. With that, I'll turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer Paul Kim. Paul?

  • Paul Kim - Chief Financial Officer

  • Thank you, Brandon. Revenue in the third quarter of 2025 totaled $84.1 million compared to $81.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Since revenue from COVID-19 testing is expected to continue to be negligible in 2025, we will no longer provide separate metrics on what we have previously referred to as core revenue, which we defined as total revenue excluding COVID-19 testing.

  • Separately, we have begun to see minimal revenue in our Therapeutic Development business from our acquisition of ANP in July, primarily related to IT licensing royalties. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis was 44.3% and on a GAAP basis was 42.2%. Gross margins have improved year over year due to streamlined operations and enhanced efficiency as a result of our investments in scaling and centralizing lab operations.

  • Now turning to operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses totaled $40.7 million compared to $43.9 million in the previous quarter. Total GAAP operating expenses were $50.9 million for the third quarter, which decreased when compared to $54.1 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in operating expenses was partially driven by a reduction in advertising and marketing expenses and a favorable reduction in bad debt expense, reflecting improved collection from Precision Diagnostics.

  • We remain committed to R&D spending to support both our laboratory testing services and our clinical studies and to sales and marketing spending to expand the sales team. Non-GAAP operating margin improved sequentially to minus 4.2%.

  • Our GAAP loss in the current quarter was $6.6 million, an improvement from the prior quarter's GAAP loss of $19 million, which included a one-time non-cash charge related to a $9.9 million impairment of a prior investment.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was approximately $0.7 million compared to a loss of $3 million in Q2 2025. On a non-GAAP basis and excluding equity-based compensation expense, intangible asset amortization, and acquisition-related costs, income for the quarter was approximately $4.5 million, or $0.14 per share based on [31.3 million] weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

  • In the third quarter, we did not repurchase any shares under our stock repurchase program. Since the inception of the stock repurchase program in March 2022, a total of approximately [$110.4 million] has been spent, with approximately [$139.6 million] remaining available for future repurchase of our of our common stock.

  • Turning to the balance sheet, we ended the third quarter with approximately $787.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. The increase in cash from the previous quarter is driven by strong operating cash flows, partially offset by capital expenditures.

  • There were no stock or income tax credits purchased during the third quarter. However, in October, we used $67.9 million for the purchase of income tax credits. As I mentioned earlier, given the minimal impact of COVID-19 testing revenue on our overall performance, we have transitioned to guiding total revenue.

  • Reflecting on our current business momentum, we are revising our full-year 2025 revenue outlook upward to $325 million for 2025, representing a growth of 15% year over year. We continue to expect non-GAAP gross margins for the full year to exceed 40%, continuing the strong momentum we've experienced in recent quarters. We expect non-GAAP operating margins to improve from minus 15% to minus 10% for the year, driven largely by increased revenue.

  • Our strategy for success centers on the continuing to scale efficiently and driving innovation across our service offerings. We will continue to invest in business expansion, further advancing our laboratory operations and upgrading existing laboratory facilities while remaining focused on managing our spending. We believe that our foundational technology platform supports a strong long-term margin profile.

  • Using an average share count of [31 million], we expect an improvement to our full-year 2025 non-GAAP EPS guidance from a loss of $0.35 per share to a positive $0.30 per share, excluding stock-based compensation, impairment loss, acquisition-related costs, and amortization of intangible assets, as well as any one-time charges.

  • Reflecting the improvement in our operations, which is offset by the effect of the one-time non-cash impairment adjustment, we are now revising our GAAP EPS guidance from a loss of $1.70 per share from $2.10 per share, excluding any future one-time charges using a [31 million] average share count.

  • Finally, our cash position remains strong. We focus on efficient capital allocation that allows us to reinvest in our business, fund key initiatives, and support future growth. Excluding any future stock repurchases or other expenditures outside the ordinary course which include M&A, we anticipate ending 2025 with approximately $800 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities.

  • This number further assumes receipt of approximately $106 million in tax refunds prior to the end of 2025, which may be delayed as a result of the current government shutdown. Overall, we see strength in our core business which has grown organically, and we see good momentum for the balance of 2025.

  • Thank you for joining our call today. Operator, you may now open it up for questions.

  • Operator

  • (Operator Instructions) Lu Li, UBS.

  • Lu Li - Analyst

  • First one on the margin. Appreciate the new disclosure on the margin by segment. It seems like the lab is turning positive margin in the quarter. I wonder, Paul, like, how do you think about the going forward path, in terms of like what will be the ultimate like operating margin target that you're looking for? Thanks.

  • Paul Kim - Chief Financial Officer

  • Thank you for the questions, Lu. We were really pleased with what we saw in the gross margins for this quarter. As you remember, we had high margins in Q3, but Q3, we had an impact -- a favorable impact to the margins of about $1.6 million, $1.7 million. That was due to our capitalization policy. But in this quarter, in the third quarter, even without that, our margins, they came in just as high at 44.3%, actually a little bit higher than what we achieved in Q2. And that's due to the overall efficiencies of the organization, continued automation that we have for the business and streamlining our policies.

  • I'll turn it over to Ming, who can talk about what we see directly for margins in our business without giving out specific numbers, because there are particular technologies that we are beginning to utilize, which might enhance our margins going forward.

  • Ming Hsieh - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Yes. Thanks, Paul. And Lu, as you probably hear from Brandon, we started you up with the AI technology in-house, building the -- our capability for the -- through our digitalization of the entire -- almost the entire pathology services. So we'll continue to see the improvement in the area. In addition, we'll be building a pretty rich database for us to be continuing the benefit for us to get into the further margin and reimbursement improvement in that territory.

  • Anything, Brandon, you want to add?

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • No, I think that's well said, Ming and Paul. Thank you.

  • Lu Li - Analyst

  • Thank you. Second question on the [AP], Brandon, I think you mentioned there are some timing issues in the quarter. I'm wondering if you can give a little bit more color and whether that will be a catch up in Q4 and then I have a follow up.

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Yeah, certainly, thanks for the question. Yes, it was a timing issue. It was mostly related to the collections in the quarter, which did reduce the amount of revenue we could recognize, But already in this quarter, we're beginning to see an improvement in the collections, and we think that that's going to continue to improve the next couple of quarters. So no material weakness in the business, just a timing issue around collections.

  • Lu Li - Analyst

  • Okay. And then on the Precision Diagnostic, you mentioned several new products, the rapid whole genome, and then you talk about the expanding of the Beacon panel. I wonder how this like a new manual expansion kind of like support the growth going forward. You seem like pretty confident in terms of like growing double-digit forward. I wonder how should we think about the 2026 things.

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Well, we are really excited about launching both of those products. I think our -- indeed, investment there was quite efficient. Our timing was quite efficient. We, last quarter, launched a new improved whole genome sequencing test that included RNA, which is a significant diagnostic yield increase that's generally sold into pediatrics, developmental pediatricians, geneticists. But if you want to help families in the NICU which require rapid results, we needed a faster product. So the follow on to our last quarter update is this new rapid ultra rapid whole genome sequencing test.

  • So this is more or less the first time for us to launch a product directly targeted at the NICU. We believe our turnaround time -- some of the features around the genome in terms of its variant calling ability, puts us in a strong position to penetrate that market. We mentioned on the call, I mean, this is becoming a standard of care in the NICU for many patients. It's a favorable margin profile in terms of billing institutionally for the test.

  • So we'll see how much it contributes to 2026, but at the end of the day, it's going to be a powerful product for clinicians to use in the NICU. And I'm excited the team was able to launch it so quickly, and it does dovetail right into what we've been talking about, expanding our sales team. We have invested significantly in expanding the pediatric sales team, so this puts one more powerful tool in their bag to sell when they're visiting children's hospitals and academic medical centers.

  • And regarding Beacon, we continue to push the envelope there. We believe, especially, in the reproductive setting, there is a need to test for more. There's a desire to test for more conditions. I mean, these conditions become rarer as we add more, but collectively, they're not rare. So we're going from 700 genes, which we've been offering now for about a year to 1,000 genes, which should make us, as far as we know, the largest panel on the market.

  • Our Beacon portfolio has performed incredibly well. I mentioned our turnaround time of 8.8, 9 days, and that's exceptional. I mean, we're dealing with patients where turnaround time is critically important, whether they're going through fertility treatments, whether they're already pregnant, there's a lot of anxiety there. So to be able to give results that quickly does give us a significant advantage in the marketplace.

  • Lu Li - Analyst

  • Thank you.

  • Operator

  • David Westenberg, Piper Sandler.

  • David Westenberg - Analyst

  • Actually, I'm going to continue with some of those questions. So Brandon, with the KNOVA product, are you finding that physicians prefer to order kind of the bundle of tests versus just a single NIPT test or carrier microdeletions all in one? Is that favoring you? And can you give us a reminder on how those are reimbursed again if they're reimbursed again, if the reimbursed had been a bundle or if they're reimbursed separately?

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Yeah, thanks for the question, David. I mean, certainly in the OB/GYN and MFM market, NIPT and carrier screening is often ordered bundled together, not always, but very frequently. So I think we've established a really good brand for Beacon, our carrier screening product in the marketplace. I think we've become sort of a go-to laboratory for carrier screening, our turnaround time, our quality, the number of genes, the customization. We've really fired on all cylinders as it relates to carrier screening.

  • And then not too long ago, we decided to launch KNOVA, a novel NIPT test, and the strategy there is to sell those together, but they're two independent tests, right? Testing for completely different things, you ask is it bundle billing? No, I mean, it's a separate orderable test, so we get an order for KNOVA, we bill for KNOVA, we get an order for Beacon, we bill for Beacon. Not bundled together from a billing perspective, but clinically, they're very often ordered together.

  • David Westenberg - Analyst

  • Perfect. And then just continued reimbursement updates. I mean, I think that ACOG update on expanded carrier screening is taking a lot longer than I think the industry expected.

  • If there's any update there or if insurance companies are just kind of seeing the value of expanded carrier screening already and you know maybe proactively reimbursing ahead of that and same question for kind of microdeletions which is another one where we kind of thought DiGeorge syndrome was already going to be covered by now.

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Yeah, good question. I mean, look, not everything hinges on that ACOG statement. There's a lot of other efforts going on behind the scenes. Actually, a lot of the companies are all working together, actually a part of a coalition to expand access to some of these tests.

  • So certainly, the ACOG -- a new ACOG guideline would be beneficial to the industry, but we are seeing payers get ahead of that, and I think some of these other grassroots efforts that are happening, working directly with the payers to show them the value proposition, to show how it impacts clinical care. Some of these payers are getting ahead of that guideline. I think the guideline will just push it one step further.

  • So we're continuing to see increased reimbursement for many of our tests, not just reproductive health. And again, I think it's really a result of working directly with the payers and showing them that clinical proposition. And hopefully before too terribly long, we might get some positive news from ACOG to take it to the next level.

  • David Westenberg - Analyst

  • Got it. And then my next -- my last question is a combination for Ming Hsieh and Paul. It looks like you had some good data on FID-107 in Phase 2. Are you going to have additional updates in Phase 2 before moving on to Phase 3? What are the key milestones to look out for?

  • And then, Paul, if you can maybe, explain the additional expenses that would come for moving from Phase 2 to Phase 3, what kind of increases in expenses you would expect. Thank you very much.

  • Ming Hsieh - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Right. Thank you, David, for the questions. We expect to finish the enrollment by end of 2025. By the ASCO, which is May of 2026, we would expect to do an oral presentation for the data we have, which we feel is very exciting.

  • By that time, for all the patients enrolled in the database will be at least had one or two scans already. So that will further enhance the data we present at ESMO in September of this year. So this will give us a strong confidence to move the FID-007 into the Phase 3 clinical trial because we see a significant progression-free comparison with the standard of care.

  • So in terms of what is the Phase 3 cost in terms of the moving forward, I think it depends on the final -- the statistician come out the number and our Phase 3 design. We are in the process now. The estimate is around 300 patients to be enrolled. So from that point of view, the clinical cost of Phase 3 is roughly around $60 million.

  • Paul Kim - Chief Financial Officer

  • And then just to give you a full picture on the spending. So for 2025, we anticipated the cash spend for the therapeutics development would be about $25 million for the balance of the year. We believe that that spending is going to be a little bit less than that for this year.

  • I think the great news for the company, whether it be the Therapeutic Development or the Laboratory Services, is the amount of science and the progress that we have seen so far for the Therapeutic Development. [Worth] spending a little bit, less than what we have anticipated is something that makes us really pleased because it goes back to the efficiency of our spending.

  • And then if you take a look at the Laboratory Services business, we've raised our guidance twice this year. All in the meanwhile, the cash forecast and our cash target, as you probably saw in the press release, has been raised to $800 million. So efficiency in running the operations, managing our cash, and getting output for a business, whether it be increased revenues for the Laboratory Services or the science and the data that we're seeing at Therapeutic Development, we're very pleased with.

  • Ming Hsieh - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Yeah, Dave, for the ESMO data we published in September -- October this year, which is the data cut off on this in September, is available online. You should see it's a pretty impressive data in terms of the how -- about the efficacy of FID-007. So we are very, very pleased and we're very, very much encouraged.

  • There is a similar -- the transactions in the area. The market is a big multi-billion-dollar market is addressable by our products. So we are very encouraged, and we believe that our investment will have a great return.

  • In addition, this is not a one job, this is a platform performance. We have the using the same delivery platform. We had the second drug, FID-022. That one in the Phase 1, for the dosing escalation exercise, it is going well and we're also -- we're much looking forward to provide additional data by mid next year.

  • David Westenberg - Analyst

  • Thank you.

  • Operator

  • Andrew Cooper, Raymond James.

  • Andrew Cooper - Analyst

  • Maybe just first want to dive in on the anatomic pathology collections dynamic. We're not necessarily seeing that in the receivables. So just if you could unpack a little bit more sort of what's going on there and what gives you the confidence that it is just collections timing, if there's any volume stats or anything like that that you could share to help us get a little bit better understanding, that would be great.

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Hey, Andrew, it's Brandon. Thanks for the question. No, it really was a timing issue. So -- I mean, at a high level, we made a change in our billing software. It takes a little bit of time to implement the new software. Software has been implemented. Things are going well. We're seeing collections begin to improve, so it was just around changing our billing software.

  • Paul Kim - Chief Financial Officer

  • And then in terms of the receivables, as you're very familiar with, Precision Diagnostics is the biggest part of our business and we have very strong collections during the quarter for that area of the business.

  • Andrew Cooper - Analyst

  • Okay. Great. That's helpful. And is there any just so we're kind of prepared for it if it does come again? Are the software changes in place kind of across Precision Diagnostics as well? Is there any kind of potential disruption in any other segment as we move forward knowing that it may just be timing but at least to keep us on the lookout?

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Mostly related to AP.

  • Andrew Cooper - Analyst

  • Okay. That is helpful, and then pharma services had a nice quarter. Just want to kind of dive in a little bit there on the strength. Was it -- knowing this can be big and lumpy, is this a single program and a timing dynamic that is better in the quarter and obviously had you raised the guide for the year, or is this a little bit more kind of broad-based finding some traction? Just would love some understanding of what's letting you succeed there and sort of where the success is coming from.

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Yeah, thanks for the question. Look, I think it's mostly related to our capabilities expansion. I think we've mentioned before that pharma services at one point was pretty much just NGS. And that limited our market size there. There was a lot of RFPs that were being presented to us that required additional technology that we didn't offer at the time, so we had a smaller addressable market when we were just an NGS shop.

  • But since then, we've launched a lot of new tests in our BioPharma services division. And that's allowed us to expand that addressable market and just blocking and tackling, allowing us to respond to more RFPs. So the business is -- it's still a bit lumpy. I mean, this is just the nature of these wins, but the pipeline looks good. Again, our capabilities are strong. I think the feedback we're getting from our biopharma partners is incredibly strong. They do value the tests that we're providing and the service we're providing.

  • So it's an area we're going to continue to invest in, and we'll continue to see some lumpiness. But overall, we're quite pleased with the capabilities and the progress of that of that of that business.

  • Andrew Cooper - Analyst

  • Okay. Helpful. And then another good quarter of Precision Diagnostics, you were up $3.5 million or so sequentially, I think like $7 million year over year. Can you just ring fence for us kind of the growth contributions you're getting there? How much of that is Beacon versus KNOVA versus other parts of the portfolio to help at least kind of rank order or give some flavor for the traction there?

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Yeah, I mean, Beacon continues to be a really important test for the company, and it's continued to grow. We're winning new customers. We're moving into new markets, so really pleased with the progress of Beacon, and hopefully, launching Beacon K takes it to the next level. And certainly, keeping our turnaround times where they are has just been hugely important for the company.

  • KNOVA is not yet a meaningful contributor to revenue. We're still trying to break into that OB/GYN marketplace. A lot of the Beacon business historically has been from the fertility side of things, REIs and fertility clinics. So Beacon continues to be quite important.

  • We are seeing great momentum in our exomes and genomes as well. Our Oncology business is doing well, especially on the Heme side. So I think overall, I mean, you look at all the different sort of divisions of the company, they're all doing well, all firing on all cylinders, and we see great momentum.

  • Andrew Cooper - Analyst

  • Okay. Great. I'll stop there and hop back in the queue. Thanks, everybody.

  • Brandon Perthuis - Chief Commercial Officer

  • Thanks, Andrew.

  • Operator

  • Thank you. We've reached the end of our question-and-answer session. And that does conclude today's teleconference and webcast. You may disconnect your lines at this time and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.
