Key Financial Performance
Annualized Revenue Run Rate (ARR) $334 million in Q3 2025, representing an approximately $69 million sequential increase from Q2 2025. This growth was driven by rapid growth in both prenatal and oncology revenues.
Gross Margin 70% in Q3 2025, a 17 percentage point increase from 53% in Q3 2024. This improvement was due to robust outperformance in ASPs and continued reductions in cost per test.
Revenue $83.5 million in Q3 2025, an increase of 117% compared to $38 million in Q3 2024. This growth was driven by robust test volume growth and expanding ASPs across all products.
Prenatal Revenue $74 million in Q3 2025, representing growth of 101% year-over-year. This was driven by expanded geographic coverage, increased commercial density, and larger health system adoptions.
Oncology Revenue $8.7 million in Q3 2025, growing 664% compared to Q3 2024. This growth was driven by rapid test volume growth of both Select and Response tests as well as improved ASPs.
Blended ASP (Average Selling Price) $501 in Q3 2025, a 44% year-over-year increase and a 10% sequential quarter-over-quarter growth. This was driven by expanded payer coverage, in-house reimbursement efforts, and Medicaid loading.
Blended Cost Per Test $151 in Q3 2025, a 10% decrease year-over-year. This was driven by cost initiatives and increased volumes driving fixed cost per test lower.
Operating Income $9.6 million in Q3 2025, compared to an operating loss of $12.6 million in Q3 2024. This improvement was due to strong revenue growth and gross margin expansion.
Net Income $1.5 million in Q3 2025, compared to a net loss of $14.9 million in Q3 2024. This improvement was driven by strong revenue growth and cost management.
