Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 15% year-over-year (YoY) for both the quarter and the six-month period. Growth was driven by Precision Diagnostics (+10% Q2), Anatomic Pathology (+20% Q2), and BioPharma Services (+73% Q2), partially offset by a decline in COVID-19 testing revenue.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved from 37% to 42% in Q2 2025, driven by revenue growth and cost structure optimization. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased from 63% to 58%.
• Impairment Loss: The company recognized a non-cash impairment loss of $9.9 million in Q2 2025 related to an investment in Helio Genomics, Inc. This significantly impacted the net loss compared to the prior year.
• Operating Expenses: Selling and marketing expenses increased 43% YoY in Q2, and General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 24% YoY. The increase in G&A was largely due to a $4.3 million provision for credit losses.
• Cash Flow: Operating cash flow turned negative for the six months ended June 30, 2025, using $34.6 million, compared to a positive $11.6 million in the prior year. This was primarily due to the purchase of $33.8 million in Investment Tax Credits and timing of cash receipts.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects R&D expenses to continue increasing as clinical trials for FID-007 and FID-022 progress. The company anticipates existing cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet requirements for at least the next 12 months.
• Subsequent Events: On July 9, 2025, the company completed the acquisition of 100% of ANP Technologies, Inc. for approximately $4.2 million in cash and stock, plus contingent consideration. This secures ownership of patents utilized in ongoing clinical studies.
• Tax Legislation: The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The financial statements do not reflect adjustments for this legislation, which makes 100% bonus depreciation and domestic research cost expensing permanent.
• Risks & Contingencies:
  • Customer Concentration: One customer accounted for 22% of Q2 2025 revenue and 29% of total accounts receivable.
  • Regulatory Investigations: The company is subject to ongoing audits by HRSA regarding COVID-19 reimbursements and Civil Investigative Demands (CID) from the DOJ regarding billing practices. No liability has been recorded as the outcome is uncertain.
  • SEC Investigation: A previously disclosed SEC investigation concluded in April 2025 with no enforcement action recommended, releasing a $1.0 million accrued liability.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Impairment Impact: Verify the details of the $9.9 million impairment on the Helio Genomics investment and its impact on future valuation of similar assets.
• Customer Concentration: Assess the risk associated with the single customer representing 22% of revenue and nearly 30% of receivables.
• Regulatory Exposure: Monitor the status of the DOJ CID and HRSA audit regarding potential clawbacks of COVID-19 reimbursements ($548.9 million total received).
• Acquisition Integration: Review the purchase accounting and integration progress for the ANP Technologies acquisition completed in July 2025.
• Cash Burn vs. Liquidity: Confirm the sustainability of the current cash burn rate given the negative operating cash flow, despite the strong balance sheet of $777.5 million in liquid assets.
