Overview
Castle Biosciences, Inc. is a molecular diagnostics company offering innovative test solutions to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of dermatologic cancers, Barrett’s esophagus (“BE”), atopic dermatitis (“AD”), and uveal melanoma (“UM”).
Our Test Portfolio
We currently offer six commercially available proprietary multi-analyte assays with algorithmic analysis (“MAAA”) tests for use in the fields of dermatology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and most recently includes a test to guide systemic treatment decisions in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.
Our revenue is primarily generated by our DecisionDx-Melanoma risk stratification test for cutaneous melanoma (“CM”) and our TissueCypher risk stratification test for BE.
All of our MAAA tests, excluding our recently launched AdvanceAD-Tx test, have been granted Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Test (“ADLT”) status by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) which means each test has demonstrated that (i) when combined with an empirically derived algorithm, it yields a result that predicts the probability a specific individual patient will develop a certain condition or conditions, or will respond to a particular therapy or therapies; and (ii) it provides new clinical diagnostic information that cannot be obtained from any other test or combination of tests. We believe this designation not only demonstrates our focus on developing and validating innovative tests but also enables our Medicare reimbursement rate to be set, over the long term, by the median private payor rate, which we believe provides a fair exchange of value. Further information about Medicare coverage and ADLT status with respect to each of our tests is set forth below.
Test Overview
Our Dermatology Tests
DecisionDx-Melanoma is our proprietary risk stratification gene expression profile (“GEP”) test designed to predict the likelihood of a positive sentinel lymph node and the risk of metastasis or recurrence for patients diagnosed with invasive CM. In a typical year, we estimate that approximately 130,000 patients are diagnosed with invasive CM in the U.S., representing an estimated U.S. total addressable market (“TAM”) of approximately $540 million. We estimate that approximately 50% of patients diagnosed with CM are 65 years of age or older.

Table of Contents
AdvanceAD-Tx is a non-invasive GEP test designed to guide systemic treatment selection for patients aged 12 years and older with moderate-to-severe AD. The test evaluates the expression of 487 genes across 12 known immune, inflammatory and skin-related pathways to identify the underlying biology driving an individual patient’s disease. Results classify patients into one of two molecular profiles: Janus Kinase (“JAK”) Inhibitor Responder Profile or T helper 2 (“Th2”) Molecular Profile. Using multiple data sources focused on one-year prevalence, we estimate that there are approximately 10 million individuals ages 12 and older in the U.S. with moderate-to-severe AD, representing an estimated U.S. TAM of approximately $33 billion. We commenced a limited access launch of the AdvanceAD-Tx test in November 2025.
DecisionDx‑SCC is our proprietary GEP test for use in patients with SCC with one or more risk factors (also referred to as “high-risk” SCC) that both predicts the risk of metastasis as well as response to adjuvant radiation therapy. We estimate 20% of SCC patients, or approximately 200,000 annually in the U.S., are classified as high risk, representing an estimated U.S. TAM of approximately $820 million.
MyPath Melanoma is our proprietary, diagnostic GEP test for use in patients with difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesions. Of the 2 million suspicious pigmented lesions biopsied annually in the U.S., we estimate that approximately 300,000 of those present difficult-to-diagnose melanocytic lesion, representing an estimated U.S. TAM of approximately $600 million.
Our Gastroenterology Tests
TissueCypher is our proprietary risk stratification spatialomics test designed to predict future development of high-grade dysplasia (“HGD”) and/or esophageal cancer in patients with non-dysplastic (“ND”), indefinite dysplasia (“IND”) or low-grade dysplasia (“LGD”) BE. We estimate a U.S. TAM of approximately $1 billion. In May 2025, we expanded our BE capabilities through the acquisition of Capsulomics, Inc., d/b/a Previse (“Previse”), which includes methylation-based intellectual property and the Esopredict risk-stratification test. We expect these assets to support the future development of TissueCypher and enable the potential incorporation of additional molecular modalities. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, we began offering Esopredict as a supplemental option when TissueCypher does not produce an actionable result. Revenue and test volume from Esopredict have not been material to date.
Our Ophthalmology Test
DecisionDx-UM is our proprietary, risk stratification GEP test that predicts the risk of metastasis for patients with UM. We believe DecisionDx-UM is the standard of care in the management of newly diagnosed UM in the majority of ocular oncology practices in the United States. We estimate a U.S. TAM of approximately $10 million.
Reimbursement
The primary source of revenue for our products is reimbursement from third-party payors, which includes government payors, such as Medicare, and commercial payors, such as insurance companies. Achieving broad coverage and reimbursement of our current products by third-party payors and continued Medicare coverage are key components of our financial success.
We bill third-party payors and patients for the tests we perform. We have received Medicare coverage for our DecisionDx-Melanoma, TissueCypher, MyPath Melanoma and DecisionDx-UM tests which meet certain criteria for Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries. DecisionDx-SCC previously received Medicare coverage, which was subsequently impacted by LCD changes finalized in 2025.
The Medicare rates discussed below are prior to giving effect to applicable sequestration in effect from time to time as described in further detail under “Government Regulation and Product Approval—Healthcare Reform” included in Item 1, Business, of the 2025 10-K.
DecisionDx-Melanoma
DecisionDx-Melanoma tests are processed from our Phoenix laboratory and since the second quarter of 2022, have been covered under “foundational” local coverage determinations (“LCD” or “LCDs”) finalized by Medicare Administrative Contractors (“MACs”) Palmetto and Noridian.
29
Table of Contents
CMS reviewed and approved DecisionDx-Melanoma for ADLT status in 2019. Our rate is set annually based upon the median private payor rate for the first half of the second preceding calendar year. For example, the rate for 2026 was set using median private payor rate data from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Our rate for 2024 and 2025 was $7,193 per test and remains $7,193 per test for 2026.
TissueCypher
Our TissueCypher tests are processed in our Phoenix and Pittsburgh laboratories. Palmetto’s MolDX program oversees MAAA tests that are reported from our Phoenix laboratory and Noridian is the MAC responsible for administering Medicare claims for test reports issued by our Phoenix laboratory. Novitas is the MAC responsible for administering Medicare claims for test reports issued by our Pittsburgh laboratory.
CMS reviewed and approved TissueCypher for ADLT status in 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the published Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (“CLFS”) rate for TissueCypher was set at $4,950 per test and remained effective through December 31, 2024. This rate was based on the median private payor rates received between April 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022. Beginning with 2025, the rate for TissueCypher has been set annually based on the median private payor rate for the first half of the second preceding calendar year. The rate for 2026 was set using median private payor rate data from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Our rate for 2025 was $4,950 per test and remains $4,950 per test for 2026.
DecisionDx‑SCC
We issue our DecisionDx-SCC tests from our Pittsburgh and Phoenix laboratories. Palmetto’s MolDX (“MolDX”) program oversees MAAA tests that are reported from our Phoenix laboratory and Noridian is the MAC responsible for administering Medicare claims for test reports issued by our Phoenix laboratory. Novitas is the MAC responsible for administering Medicare claims for test reports issued by our Pittsburgh laboratory.
CMS reviewed and approved DecisionDx-SCC for ADLT status in 2023. Effective July 1, 2023 and through March 31, 2024, CMS set the initial period rate equal to the list price of $8,500 per test. Effective April 1, 2024, we continued receiving reimbursement at a rate of $8,500 per test, set by CMS using median private payor rate data for the period July 1, 2023 and November 30, 2023, and this rate remained effective through December 31, 2025. Our rate for 2025 was $8,500 per test and remains $8,500 per test for 2026.
On July 4, 2024, Palmetto and Noridian finalized an LCD recommending no coverage for DecisionDx-SCC with an effective date of August 18, 2024. On January 9, 2025, Novitas finalized an oncology biomarker LCD, Genetic Testing for Oncology: Specific Tests, which also lists DecisionDx-SCC as non-covered; that LCD became effective on April 24, 2025.
In July 2025, we submitted reconsideration requests for both the Novitas and MolDX LCDs. Both Novitas and MolDX subsequently confirmed that our requests were valid. These confirmations represent an important procedural step in the reconsideration process, but it does not indicate coverage or a favorable review outcome.
MyPath Melanoma
MyPath Melanoma was covered under a test-specific LCD policy through Noridian that became effective in June 2019. Effective August 6, 2023, Palmetto and Noridian issued LCDs that converted the test-specific MyPath Melanoma LCD to a “foundational” LCD and provided coverage for MyPath Melanoma.
CMS reviewed and approved MyPath for ADLT status in 2019. Our rate is set annually based upon the median private payor rate for the first half of the second preceding calendar year. For example, the rate for 2026 was set using median private payor rate data from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Our rate for 2024 and 2025 was $1,950 per test and remains $1,950 per test for 2026.
DecisionDx-UM
DecisionDx-UM tests are processed from our Phoenix laboratory and are covered under LCDs finalized by MAC administrators Palmetto and Noridian in July 2017.
CMS reviewed and approved DecisionDx-UM for ADLT status in 2019. Our rate is set annually based upon the median private payor rate for the first half of the second preceding calendar year. For example, the rate for 2026 was set using median private payor rate data from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Our rate for 2024 and 2025 was $7,776 per test and remains $7,776 per test for 2026.

Delivered Test Reports
The number of test reports we deliver is a key indicator that we use to assess our business. A test report is generated when we receive a sample in our laboratory, and then the relevant test information is entered into our Laboratory Information Management System, the laboratory portion of the test is performed, including proprietary algorithmic analysis of the combined biomarkers, and a report is then delivered to the clinician who ordered the test.
The number of test reports delivered by us are presented in the table below:

(1)The IDgenetix test was discontinued effective May 2025.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our test report volume increased by 16% and 13%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase primarily reflects continued growth in our core revenue drivers, TissueCypher and DecisionDx-Melanoma. TissueCypher test report volume increased by 63% and 61% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, reflecting continued commercial adoption. We continue to invest in expanding our Pittsburgh laboratory operations to increase TissueCypher testing capacity and support future growth. DecisionDx-Melanoma test report volume increased by 3% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Dermatologic test report volume decreased by 4% for the three months June 30, 2026 but increased by 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily reflecting lower DecisionDx-SCC test report volume, partially offset by continued growth in DecisionDx-Melanoma. For a discussion of how we recognize revenue derived from our tests, refer to “Components of Results of Operations—Net Revenues” below.
For our AdvanceAD-Tx product line, we received approximately 1,000 and 1,650 orders during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, while still in the initial limited access phase. We believe early adoption reflects clinician interest in integrating AdvanceAD-Tx into existing AD treatment pathways. We plan to expand availability in a phased manner throughout the remainder of 2026.
For our DecisionDx-SCC product line, we continue to see opportunities for leverage, where many of the clinicians ordering our DecisionDx-Melanoma are the same clinicians who order our DecisionDx-SCC test. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, approximately 68% of all clinicians ordering DecisionDx-SCC had also ordered our DecisionDx-Melanoma test during that same period.

Information About Certain Metrics
The following provides additional information about certain metrics we have disclosed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Test Reports Delivered
Test reports delivered represent the number of completed test reports delivered by us during the reporting period indicated. The period in which a test report is delivered does not necessarily correspond with the period in which the related revenue, if any, is recognized, due to the timing and amount of adjustments for variable consideration under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). We use this metric to evaluate the growth in adoption of our tests and to measure against our internal performance objectives. We believe this metric is useful to investors in evaluating the volume of our business activity from period-to-period that may not be discernible from our reported revenues under ASC 606.
Other Events
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions
Macroeconomic conditions, including uncertainties associated with the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the conflict between the U.S., Iran, and Israel, the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia and related sanctions, economic slowdowns, recent shutdowns of the federal government including regulatory agencies, public health crises, labor shortages, recessions or market corrections, supply chain disruptions, inflation and monetary policy shifts, current or proposed international tariffs, trade restrictions and retaliatory trade measures, cybersecurity threats, liquidity concerns at, and potential failures of, banks and other financial institutions or other disruptions in the banking system or financing markets, higher interest rates and financial and credit market fluctuations, volatility in the capital markets and other evolving macroeconomic developments, continue to have direct and indirect impacts on our business and could in the future materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. We continue to actively monitor the impact of these macroeconomic factors on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The extent of the impact of these factors on our operational performance and financial condition, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected timeframe, will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted; however, any continued or renewed disruption resulting from these factors could negatively impact our business.
Our Financial Results
Our net (loss) income may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of our planned development activities, the growth of our sales and marketing activities and the timing of revenue recognition under ASC 606. We expect our expenses will increase substantially over time as we:
•execute clinical studies to generate evidence supporting our current and future product candidates;
•execute our commercialization strategy for our current and future commercial products;
•continue our ongoing and planned development of new products in our pipeline;
•seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;
•hire additional scientific and research and development (“R&D”) staff;
•add additional operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and
•make additional capital expenditures to support business growth and sustain existing operations.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe there are several important factors that have impacted, and that we expect will continue to impact, our operating performance and results of operations, including:
•Report volume. We believe that the number of reports we deliver to clinicians is an important indicator of the growth of adoption among the healthcare provider community. Our revenue and costs are affected by the volume of testing and mix of customers. Our performance depends on our ability to retain and broaden adoption with existing prescribing clinicians, as well as attract new clinicians. Our report volume could be negatively impacted by developments related to evolving macroeconomic developments, as discussed above.
32
Table of Contents
•Reimbursement. We believe that expanding reimbursement is an important indicator of the value of our products. Payors require extensive evidence of clinical utility, clinical validity, patient outcomes and health economic benefits in order to provide reimbursement for diagnostic products. Our revenue depends on our ability to demonstrate the value of our products to these payors.
•Gross margin. We believe that our gross margin is an important indicator of the operating performance of our business. Higher gross margins reflect the average selling price of our tests, as well as the operating efficiency of our laboratory operations.
•Expansion of our sales force and marketing programs. We believe the expansion of our direct sales force and marketing organization to educate clinicians and pathologists on the value of our molecular testing products will significantly impact our performance.
•Integrating acquisitions. Revenue growth, operational results and advances to our business strategy depend on our ability to integrate any acquisitions into our existing business and effectively scale their operations. The integration of acquired assets may impact our revenue growth, increase the cost of operations or may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our existing business.
•New product development. A significant aspect of our business is our investment in R&D activities, including activities related to the development of new products. In addition to the development of new product candidates, we believe these studies are critical to gaining clinician adoption of new products and driving favorable coverage decisions by payors for such products.
Components of the Results of Operations
Net Revenues
We generate revenues from the sale of our products. Currently, our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of TissueCypher, DecisionDx-Melanoma and DecisionDx-SCC. We bill third-party payors and patients for the tests we perform.
Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue at the amount we expect to be entitled, subject to a constraint for variable consideration, in the period in which our tests are delivered to the treating clinicians. We have determined that our contracts contain variable consideration under ASC 606 because the amounts paid by third-party payors may be paid at less than our standard rates or not paid at all, with such differences considered implicit price concessions. Variable consideration is recognized only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in future periods when the uncertainties are resolved. Variable consideration is evaluated each reporting period and adjustments are recorded as increases or decreases in revenues. Variable consideration for Medicare claims that are not covered by Medicare, including those claims undergoing appeal, is deemed to be fully constrained due to factors outside our influence (e.g., judgment or actions of third parties) and the uncertainty of the amount to be received is not expected to be resolved for a long period of time. For these fully constrained claims, we generally recognize revenue in the period the uncertainty is favorably resolved, if at all. Due to potential future changes in Medicare coverage policies and appeal cycles, insurance coverage policies, contractual rates and other trends in the reimbursement of our tests, our revenues may fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our ability to recognize revenue for a test is dependent on the development of reimbursement experience and obtaining coverage decisions. For tests with limited reimbursement experience or no coverage, we recognize revenues on the basis of actual cash collections.
Our ability to increase our revenues will depend on our ability to further penetrate our target markets, and, in particular, generate sales through our direct sales force, maintain Medicare coverage for our currently marketed products, develop and commercialize additional tests, including through acquisitions, obtain reimbursement from additional third-party payors and increase our reimbursement rate for tests performed.

Table of Contents
Cost of Sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets)
The components of our cost of sales are material and service costs associated with testing samples, personnel costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense), electronic medical record set up costs, order and delivery systems, shipping charges to transport samples, third-party test fees, and allocated overhead including rent, information technology costs, equipment and facilities depreciation and utilities. Costs associated with testing samples are recorded when the test is processed regardless of whether and when revenues are recognized with respect to that test. As a result, our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues may vary significantly from period to period because we do not recognize all revenues in the period in which the associated costs are incurred. We expect cost of sales in absolute dollars to increase as the number of tests we perform increases. Additionally, we expect cost of sales to increase prior to our launching of new tests, or prior to our initiating significant commercial expansion efforts, as we ready our operations to support anticipated business growth, for example, continued investment in and expansion of our laboratory facilities.
Gross margin and gross margin percentage are key indicators we use to assess our business. See the table in “Results of Operations—Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025” for details.
Research and Development
R&D expenses include costs incurred to develop our tests, collect clinical samples and conduct clinical studies to develop and support our products. These costs consist of personnel costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense), prototype materials, laboratory supplies, consulting costs, regulatory costs, electronic medical records set up costs, costs associated with setting up and conducting clinical studies and allocated overhead, including rent, information technology, equipment depreciation and utilities. We expense all R&D costs in the periods in which they are incurred. We expect our R&D expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in R&D activities related to developing enhanced and new products.
We expect to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable investment securities to further support and accelerate our ongoing and future clinical studies and pipeline initiatives.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include executive, selling and marketing, legal, finance and accounting, human resources and billing functions. These expenses consist of personnel costs (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense), direct marketing expenses, audit and legal expenses, consulting costs, payor outreach programs and allocated overhead, including rent, information technology, equipment depreciation, and utilities. Other administrative and professional services expenses within SG&A are expected to increase with the scale of our business, but selling and marketing-related expenses are expected to increase significantly, consistent with our growth strategy.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is primarily associated with developed technology obtained through acquisitions, such as our acquisitions of the Myriad MyPath Laboratory in May 2021, Cernostics in December 2021, and Previse in May 2025.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of earnings on cash and cash equivalents, primarily money market funds, and our short-term U.S. government obligations are a component of our marketable investment securities.
Net (Losses) Gains on Equity Securities
Net (losses) gains on equity securities are primarily attributable to realized and unrealized gains and losses on our equity securities which we present as marketable investment securities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is primarily attributable to long-term debt and finance leases.
Other Loss
Other loss is primarily attributable to unrealized foreign currency losses and gains on our foreign currency-denominated investments and loan receivable, which are presented as marketable investment securities and other assets, respectively.
34
Table of Contents
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense consists primarily of income taxes related to federal and state jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets including operating loss carryforwards and R&D credits and other tax credits.
As of December 31, 2025, we had federal NOL carryforwards of $134.8 million, of which $52.9 million will begin to expire in 2032 if not utilized to offset federal taxable income, and $81.9 million may be carried forward indefinitely. Also, as of December 31, 2025, we also had state NOL carryforwards of $113.0 million, which begin to expire in 2030 if not utilized to offset state taxable income.

(1)Consists of DecisionDx-Melanoma, DecisionDx-SCC and MyPath Melanoma.
(2)Consists of TissueCypher, DecisionDx-UM and IDgenetix.
Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $17.4 million, or 20.1%, to $103.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a $25.0 million increase in revenue from our non-dermatologic tests, partially offset by a $7.6 million decrease in revenue from our dermatologic tests.
36
Table of Contents
The $25.0 million increase in net revenues from our non-dermatologic tests was primarily attributable to higher test report volumes for our TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus test and, to a lesser extent, a higher realized average selling price (“ASP”). The increases in our TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus test report volumes reflect growth through our sales force efforts. Net revenue from our non-dermatologic tests as a percentage of total net revenue increased from 34.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to 53.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
The $7.6 million decrease in net revenues for our dermatologic tests was primarily attributable to our DecisionDx-SCC test, driven by lower realized ASP and lower test report volumes. The reduction in ASP was primarily driven by the loss of Medicare LCD coverage in April 2025.
Cost of Sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets)
Cost of sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $6.1 million, or 34.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher expenses for lab supplies, higher personnel costs, and higher lab services costs. The increase in lab supplies and lab services costs reflects higher test report volumes. Increases in personnel costs reflect a higher headcount, due to additions made to support business growth in response to growing test report volumes, as well as merit and annual inflationary wage adjustment for existing employees.
Due to the nature of our business, a significant portion of our cost of sales expenses represents fixed costs associated with our testing operations. Accordingly, our cost of sales expenses will not necessarily increase or decrease commensurately with the change in net revenues from period to period. We expect our cost of sales expenses (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets) to continue to increase in future periods as we hire additional laboratory personnel and related resources to support expected operational growth and higher test volumes.

Gross margin $ 77,595 $ 66,601 $ 10,994
Gross margin percentage 74.9 % 77.3 % (2.4) %
Our gross margin percentage was 74.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 77.3% for the same period in 2025. The decrease primarily reflects higher expenses for lab supplies, higher personnel costs and higher lab services costs reflecting the shift in the mix of reports issued partially offset by the spread of fixed laboratory costs over higher test report volumes.
Research and Development
R&D expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 13.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs driven by increased headcount to support continued business growth, as well as increased advisory board, clinical trial, and travel costs related to our pipeline initiatives.
We expect to continue incurring R&D expenses through our continued investments in our ongoing pipeline initiatives and as we seek opportunities to build evidentiary support and new tests where commercial opportunities exist.

General and administrative 25,207 22,942 2,265
Total selling, general and administrative expense $ 66,122 $ 58,065 $ 8,057
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.8 million, or 16.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs, higher expenses associated with travel, and higher business admin costs. Stock-based compensation expense included in sales and marketing was $3.9 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the three months ended June 30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 9.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher personnel costs. Higher personnel costs reflect headcount expansions in our administrative functions as well as merit and annual inflationary wage adjustment for existing employees. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower interest earned on our money market funds and marketable securities, as well as lower premium amortization and discount accretion recognized on our marketable securities.
Net (Losses) Gains on Equity Securities
Net (losses) gains on equity securities decreased by $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of unrealized gains recognized on other equity securities during the prior-year period, as those securities were subsequently sold and were no longer held during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease also reflected an unrealized loss recognized on our equity investment in SciBase during the current-year period, which we did not hold during the prior-year period.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 consisted of income taxes related to state jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Our income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.7 million primarily due to a reduction of the valuation allowance previously recorded against our federal deferred tax assets. The release resulted in a credit to income tax expense and was based on new deferred tax liabilities recognized upon consolidating Capsulomics.

Stock-based compensation expense which is allocated among cost of sales, R&D expense and SG&A expense totaled $11.6 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We expect stock-based compensation expense will continue to be material in future periods, attributable to both existing awards outstanding and anticipated additional grants to our current and future employees. As of June 30, 2026, we had 1,002 employees, compared to 798 as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding awards was $90.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Total net revenues $ 187,225 $ 174,176 $ 13,049
(1)Consists of DecisionDx-Melanoma, DecisionDx-SCC and MyPath Melanoma.
(2)Consists of TissueCypher, DecisionDx-UM and IDgenetix.
Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $13.0 million, or 7.5%, to $187.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a $42.5 million increase in revenue from our non-dermatologic tests, partially offset by a $29.5 million decrease in revenue from our dermatologic tests.
The $42.5 million increase in revenues from our non-dermatologic tests was primarily attributable to a 61% increase in test report volumes for our TissueCypher test, and, to a much lesser extent, a higher realized ASP. The increase in TissueCypher test report volumes reflects continued growth driven by our sales force efforts. Net revenues from our non-dermatologic tests as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 31.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 52.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The $29.5 million decrease in revenues from our dermatologic tests was primarily attributable to our DecisionDx-SCC test, driven by lower realized ASP and lower test report volumes following the loss of Medicare coverage effective April 24, 2025. The decrease was partially offset by higher DecisionDx-Melanoma revenues, which were primarily driven by a 9% increase in test report volumes and, to a lesser extent, a higher realized ASP.
Cost of Sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets)
Cost of sales (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by $10.2 million, or 30.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher expenses for lab supplies, higher personnel costs, higher lab services costs, and higher depreciation expense. The increase in expenses for lab supplies and lab services costs was driven by higher test report volumes reflecting the shift in the mix of reports issued. Increases in personnel costs reflect a higher headcount, due to additions made to support business growth in response to growing test report volumes, as well as merit and annual inflationary wage adjustment for existing employees. The higher depreciation expense reflects continued investment in and expansion of our laboratory facilities.
Due to the nature of our business, a significant portion of our cost of sales expenses represents fixed costs associated with our testing operations. Accordingly, our cost of sales expenses will not necessarily increase or decrease commensurately with the change in net revenues from period to period. We expect our cost of sales expenses (exclusive of amortization of acquired intangible assets) to continue to increase in future periods as we hire additional laboratory personnel and related resources to support our expected operational growth and higher test volumes.

Gross margin $ 138,515 $ 109,881 $ 28,634
Gross margin percentage 74.0 % 63.1 % 10.9 %
Our gross margin percentage was 74.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 63.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by significantly lower amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization expense was elevated in the prior-year period due to accelerated amortization related to the IDgenetix test, which was fully amortized as of March 31, 2025 following the decision to discontinue IDgenetix, resulting in no amortization expense associated with this asset in the current period.
Research and Development
R&D expenses increased by $3.6 million, or 14.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel costs and higher clinical studies costs. The increases in personnel costs reflect a higher headcount to support continued business growth and increases in clinical studies costs reflect investment in our pipeline products.
We expect to continue incurring R&D expenses through our continued investments in our ongoing pipeline initiatives and as we seek opportunities to build evidentiary support and new tests where commercial opportunities exist.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 13.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher personnel costs and higher sales related travel expenses. Increases in personnel costs reflect a higher headcount driven by sales force expansion as well as merit and annual inflationary wage adjustment for existing employees. Higher sales related travel expenses reflect increased field activity to support growing test report volumes. Stock-based compensation expense included in sales and marketing expense was $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses increased by $4.3 million, or 9.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher personnel costs and higher information technology-related costs partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Increases in personnel costs reflect headcount expansions in our administrative functions as well as merit and annual inflationary wage adjustment for existing employees. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense was $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Table of Contents
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
Amortization expense decreased by approximately $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to our decision to discontinue the IDgenetix test offering beginning in May 2025. As a result of this decision, we revised the estimated useful life of the related developed technology intangible asset and fully amortized the remaining carrying value as of March 31, 2025. The decrease is partially offset by amortization of the developed technology intangible asset recognized in association with the Esopredict test following our acquisition of Previse in May 2025.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower interest earned on our money market funds and marketable securities, as well as lower premium amortization and discount accretion recognized on our marketable securities.
Net Gains (Losses) on Equity Securities
Net gains (losses) on equity securities increased by $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by unrealized gains on our investment in SciBase, partially offset by realized losses on other equity securities sold during the period.
Other Loss
Other loss increased by $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to unrealized foreign currency losses on foreign currency-denominated assets. There were no comparable losses in the prior-year period.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and primarily consisted of income taxes related to state jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Our income tax benefit was $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a reduction of the valuation allowance previously recorded against our federal deferred tax assets. The release resulted in a credit to income tax expense and was based on new deferred tax liabilities recognized upon consolidating Capsulomics.

Total stock-based compensation expense $ 21,365 $ 22,387 $ (1,022)
Stock-based compensation expense, which is allocated among cost of sales, R&D expense and SG&A expense, totaled $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher fair value awards granted in prior periods having substantially vested, resulting in a lower mix of higher fair value awards in the current period.
We expect stock-based compensation expense will continue to be material in future periods, attributable to both existing awards outstanding and anticipated additional grants to our current and future employees. As of June 30, 2026, we had 1,002 employees compared to 798 as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to outstanding awards was $90.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, marketable investment securities and cash generated from the sale of our products. All of our marketable investment securities are considered investment grade and are readily available for use in current operations. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had marketable investment securities of $204.7 million and $182.8 million, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $62.1 million and $116.7 million, respectively.
Our liquidity has been primarily derived from the revenue generated from the sale of our products. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable investment securities and anticipated cash generated from sales of our products will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. However, we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could result in us depleting our capital resources sooner than expected.
As mentioned above, we expect to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable investment securities to further support and accelerate our R&D activities, including the clinical studies noted above in “—Components of the Results of Operations—Research and Development.”
Material Cash Requirements
Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, clinical R&D services, laboratory operations, equipment and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, general administrative costs and, from time to time, expansion of our laboratory and office facilities in support of our growth. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our cash requirements in the foreseeable future will relate to the further commercialization of our currently marketed products, the development of our future product candidates in our pipeline and the potential commercialization of these pipeline products, should their development be successful.
In February 2024, we purchased a plot of land in Friendswood, Texas and soon thereafter began development of the land and construction of a commercial office building which now serves as our corporate headquarters. Over the duration of this project, we incurred significant capital expenditures through payments to the developer under a percentage-of-completion basis. We completed the portions of the building that serve as our headquarters in February 2026, at which time we began occupying the building. Capital expenditures related to this development project were $0.4 million and $3.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $8.8 million and $14.0 million during the corresponding periods in 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the development project was substantially complete.
Since our inception, we have generally incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flows, and we have relied heavily on proceeds from our financing activities to fund capital expenditures, business expansion campaigns, and to offset operating deficits. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a net loss of $24.2 million, and generated positive operating cash flow of $64.3 million, however, we may be unable to sustain profitability and positive cash flows in future periods. Medicare coverage for our DecisionDx-SCC test was discontinued in April 2025, which reduced revenues and cash inflows from this test during 2025. We expect this impact to continue unless our reconsideration requests related to both the MolDX and Novitas LCDs are approved. Our ability to maintain profitability will heavily depend on us maintaining Medicare coverage for our currently marketed products, on the successful commercialization of the products we plan to launch in the future, and our ability to manage operating expenses. We expect to continue to incur expenses in the future as we invest in the commercialization of our existing products and the development and commercialization of our current pipeline products and future product candidates.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable investment securities and anticipated cash generated from the sale of our commercial products will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected cash requirements and obligations through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable investment securities and anticipated cash generated from sales of our products and issuances of equity securities or debt offerings. However, we have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we expect. There are numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing genomic tests, including, among others, the uncertainty of:
•successful commencement and completion of clinical study protocols;
•successful identification and acquisition of tissue samples;
43
Table of Contents
•the development and validation of genomic classifiers; and
•acceptance of new genomic tests by clinicians, patients and third-party payors including competitor actions.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate our exact working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on and could increase significantly as a result of, many factors, including those listed above as well as those listed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2025 10-K, Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC.
In the event additional funding is required, we expect that we would use a combination of equity and debt financings, which may not be available to us when needed, on terms that we deem to be favorable or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any disruptions to, or volatility in, the credit and financial markets or any deterioration in overall economic conditions may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and/or more dilutive. If we are unable to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing or other arrangements when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts.

2024 Loan and Security Agreement
On March 26, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into the 2024 LSA, as amended in April 2025, by and between us, our wholly owned subsidiary, Castle Narnia Real Estate Holding 1, LLC and Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (the “Lender”). The 2024 LSA provides for (i) a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, which was drawn on the Closing Date (the “2024 Term Loan”), and (ii) a $25.0 million line of credit which expired undrawn on September 30, 2025.
The obligations under the 2024 LSA are secured by substantially all of our assets, excluding intellectual property, the real property held by us, and are subject to certain other exceptions and limitations. We have the right to prepay the 2024 LSA in whole. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed.
The 2024 LSA contains customary conditions of borrowing, events of default and covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to dispose of assets, merge with or acquire other entities, incur indebtedness and make distributions to holders of our capital stock. Should an event of default occur, including the occurrence of a material adverse change, we could be liable for immediate repayment of all obligations under the 2024 LSA. Should we seek to further amend the terms of the 2024 LSA, the consent of the Lender would be required. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all of the covenants.
The 2024 LSA bears interest at a floating rate equal to the greater of (a) the WSJ Prime Rate plus 0.25% or (b) 6.00% per annum. The 2024 Term Loan was interest-only from the Closing Date through November 30, 2025, however, on August 26, 2025, we elected to exercise our option to extend the interest-only period to December 1, 2026. Beginning in December 2026, the principal payments will be made in equal monthly installments through the maturity date of November 1, 2028.
44
Table of Contents
In addition, we are required to make a final payment equal to 2.00% of the aggregate original principal amounts of the 2024 Term Loan, due at maturity or upon full repayment.
2024 Term Loan
On the Closing Date, we drew $10.0 million under the 2024 Term Loan. We are obligated to make a final payment of $0.2 million under the terms of the 2024 LSA final payment provisions. A discount on debt equal to this obligation was recorded on the draw date and is being amortized as additional interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt. As of June 30, 2026, no payment on principal has been made and the weighted-average effective interest rate for all outstanding debt under the 2024 Term Loan was 7.69%.
Leases
We have entered into various operating and finance leases, which are primarily associated with our laboratory facilities and office space.
Total undiscounted future minimum payment obligations under our operating leases and finance leases as of June 30, 2026 totaled approximately $38.6 million, of which $1.3 million is payable through the remainder of 2026 and $37.3 million is payable through early 2037. The leases expire on various dates through 2037 and provide certain options to renew for additional periods. On March 19, 2026, we entered into a new lease agreement with an initial term of approximately 11 years for laboratory and office space located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As of June 30, 2026, the lease had not yet commenced. Upon commencement, we expect the leases to increase our undiscounted future minimum payment obligations by a total of approximately $7.7 million.
We expect our lease obligations may increase in the future as we expand our facilities, operations and headcount in support of the anticipated growth in our portfolio of commercial products and pipeline tests.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The net loss of $16.6 million includes non-cash charges of stock-based compensation expense of $21.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $8.0 million, offset by net gains on equity securities of $1.4 million. Cash used as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities was $18.2 million, primarily due to decreases in accrued compensation of $11.4 million, increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $7.5 million, increases in accounts receivable of $4.7 million, offset by increases in other accrued and current liabilities of $5.3 million and increases in accounts payable of $0.9 million.
