Overview
BillionToOne is transforming healthcare by redefining molecular diagnostics. Our revolutionary single-molecule next-generation sequencing (smNGS) platform achieves what was once thought impossible—detecting and precisely quantifying genetic targets with single-molecule sensitivity. At the heart of this technological breakthrough lies our patented quantitative counting templates (QCTs), enabling measurements at the physical limit of detection—the single DNA molecule. This leap forward addresses a fundamental limitation in healthcare—the inability to detect sparse but clinically crucial disease signals in cell-free DNA (cfDNA).
Founded with the mission to remove the fear of the unknown through powerful and accessible smNGS-based diagnostics, we have swiftly transitioned from an R&D-focused company to a proven commercial organization. Since launching UNITY, our first prenatal product in 2019, we have expanded our offerings first within prenatal genetics, and then to oncology diagnostics. To date, we have processed more than one million smNGS-based tests. Today, we test approximately 1 in 11 babies during pregnancy in the United States, a metric that is continuing to increase rapidly every year. UNITY is the first single-gene non-invasive prenatal test (sgNIPT) that uses cfDNA to provide fetal risk assessment for recessive conditions such as sickle cell disease (SCD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) without requiring a paternal sample or invasive procedures such as amniocentesis. Since then, we have expanded our UNITY offering to cover comprehensive prenatal genetic needs from a single maternal blood draw. In 2024, our unique fetal antigen tests resulted in national medical guideline changes, enabling us to position our tests as “the new standard in prenatal care,” further contributing to both test volume and average selling price (ASP) growth, as we leveraged the guideline changes to contract with more insurance companies. By detecting and identifying an extensive array of severe but actionable genetic disorders during pregnancy, we enable substantially better outcomes for newborns via earlier therapeutic and other clinical interventions.
In May 2026, we announced the launch of Unity ConfirmTM, a circulating fetal cell-based, non-invasive confirmation assay designed to enable confirmation of high-risk screening results. The new assay isolates intact circulating fetal cells from a simple maternal blood draw using BillionToOne’s Fetal Cell CaptureTM technology. With the assay, clinicians can confirm a high-risk result from a maternal blood draw without putting the pregnancy at risk from invasive methods such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis.
In the oncology setting, ultrasensitive tests with real-time insights are required to effectively detect, diagnose, and treat patients with a diverse range of mutations and solid tumor types across the cancer care continuum. In 2023, we successfully leveraged our smNGS platform to launch two complementary pan-cancer liquid biopsy tests – Northstar Select® and Northstar Response®. Our Northstar Select test is used to guide therapy selection and has been shown to detect over 50% more actionable solid tumor mutations than conventional liquid biopsies. Based on our knowledge of all widely available tests, Northstar Response is the only methylation-based assay that quantifies the amount of cancer (tumor burden) at the single molecule level without requiring a tissue biopsy, enabling real-time monitoring of patient response to therapy with unprecedented precision. Our Northstar tests give physicians extraordinary visibility into cancer profile and treatment response, enabling more informed and earlier treatment decisions that can fundamentally alter patient outcomes. We are actively developing additional diagnostic products to address critical needs across the cancer care continuum. For example, in January 2026, we launched Northstar PGx, and in February 2026, we launched Northstar Select CH. Northstar PGx and Northstar CH are add-on applications for Northstar Select, and expand the Northstar platform beyond genomic profiling to address chemotherapy safety (PGx) and clonal hematopoiesis (CH) — two critical decision points in selecting the right therapy for patients. Our current development efforts focus on MRD detection, leveraging our platform’s exceptional sensitivity to identify trace amounts of tumor DNA following curative-intent surgery in earlier stage cancers. We are developing a tissue-free, pan-cancer MRD test, which we expect to be commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Our business momentum is evidenced by our rapidly scaling commercial success and improving operational efficiency. Of the over one million smNGS-based tests that we have processed since our initial launch, over 45% of them, or approximately 676,000 tests, were processed within the last 12 months ended March 31, 2026.
Our key performance metrics
Our revenue is driven by selling and performing molecular diagnostic tests ordered by physicians and other providers. We generally bill the patients’ insurance carrier, Medicaid, Medicare, the patient, or a combination upon delivery of the test results.
Our revenue is the function of two inputs: the number of tests ordered and the ASP that we can achieve through reimbursement. There is a flywheel effect between these two factors. The more tests that we process, the easier it becomes for us to contract with third-party payors and become an in-network provider. This increases our ASP for our tests, as the denial rate of our tests significantly decreases once we become an in-network provider. As we become an in-network provider, it becomes easier for our sales representatives to convince ordering providers to use our tests. We believe that the combined effects of ASP increases, cost of goods sold (COGS) decreases, and improved operational efficiency have been the main drivers of our ability to generate net income in recent periods.
Our total test volume, which represents the number of billable tests that we receive for processing during each period and which we also refer to as tests accessioned, grew to approximately 189,000 tests for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 137,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, our total delivered and billable test volume, which represents the number of billable tests for which we deliver a result to the ordering provider each period, grew to approximately 188,000 tests for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 131,000 delivered and billable tests for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Key factors affecting our results of operations and performance
We believe certain factors have influenced, and will continue to influence, our operating performance and results of operations. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important risks and challenges that we must successfully address to sustain and grow our business and improve our results of operations. Our ability to successfully address the factors below is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Market adoption and commercial success
Our success and future growth depend on maintaining and expanding market acceptance and achieving commercial success in our prenatal and oncology product lines. This requires our sales teams to develop and maintain relationships with obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, oncologists, and other providers. In addition, our sales teams must be able to convincingly communicate the clinical utility and value of our tests in enabling personalized patient care. The commercial success of our existing tests and any new tests we develop will depend upon factors such as clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness, inclusion in clinical practice guidelines, adoption by the medical community, favorable coverage by third-party payors, and our ability to differentiate our offerings in competitive markets. In addition, our ability to maintain and expand our sales and marketing capabilities to support increased adoption of our molecular diagnostic solutions will be another key factor to our success.
Payor coverage, contracting, and more effective reimbursement operations
Our ASPs and revenue depend heavily on our success in achieving and maintaining broad coverage and adequate reimbursement for our molecular diagnostic tests from third-party payors. Third-party reimbursement for our tests represented more than 90% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and we expect government and commercial third-party payors to continue to be our primary source of payments. Coverage and reimbursement by third-party payors, including commercial health insurers, managed care organizations, and government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, can be limited and uncertain for the types of specialized molecular diagnostic tests we offer. Each payor makes its own determination as to whether to establish a policy to cover our tests, as well as the amount it will reimburse for such tests. Payors make these determinations based on factors that include medical necessity, clinical utility, and cost-effectiveness. Reimbursement rates vary significantly by test-type, payor, and coverage determination. Historically, our market access and reimbursement teams have pursued strategies to increase our ASPs by expanding our payor coverage and reimbursement. We believe these strategies will continue to grow our ASPs over time.
Internalizing and strengthening our reimbursement capabilities and incorporating automation and AI to reimbursement operations
We have invested in building a high-performing, specialized team dedicated to all aspects of reimbursement, including claims management, appeals, and payor relations. In July 2023, we transitioned from relying on third-party vendors to managing our reimbursement function in-house. This team’s expertise and commitment have enabled a more consistent, and accurate billing and appeal process, along with the rapid identification and resolution of reimbursement issues.
In addition, we have integrated our internal systems end-to-end, automated many of the repetitive reimbursement procedures, and incorporated AI for significant efficiency improvements (e.g., using large language models (“LLMs”) to read, categorize, and react to thousands of correspondence items from insurance companies that we receive every day), allowing our team to significantly increase their productivity. This strategic move not only streamlines our operations and improves cash flow but also allows us to better advocate for the value of our diagnostic tests with payors by providing rapid feedback and responding proactively to evolving reimbursement trends.
Relentless focus on reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency
Our financial results depend upon our ability to support current and future levels of demand for our prenatal screening and oncology diagnostic tests while maintaining discipline around our cost structure. Historically, we have been able to grow the size of our operational team much more slowly than our test volume increases. This has led to significantly increased operational leverage and efficiencies on a per-test basis and has been a driver in improving our net income (loss) margin.
We actively seek ways to continuously reduce our costs-per-test and improve our gross profit margin, long-term profitability, and return on investment. For example, we have reduced COGS per test through automation and optimization of laboratory workflows, successful negotiations with suppliers, and re-design and re-validation of assays with more optimized chemistry or higher-throughput sequencing. Nevertheless, as our test volumes grow, we have made and will continue to make significant investments in state-of-the-art infrastructure to support our growth. In 2023 we successfully expanded our laboratory operations from a single facility with 36,000 square feet in Menlo Park, CA by adding a second laboratory facility in Union City, CA with 90,000 square feet. To further support our growth beyond our current facilities, we have also entered a lease for the construction of 220,000 square feet of laboratory space in Austin, Texas with favorable terms and a tenant improvement package. We expect to occupy this facility in 2027, and open for processing commercial samples in 2028. Once the facility is fully utilized, we expect our potential testing capacity to be nearly triple our current capabilities.
In addition, we must simultaneously enhance our customer service capabilities, improve our billing and administrative processes, expand our quality assurance programs, incorporate new laboratory equipment and automation, and implement new technology systems, all while maintaining competitive turnaround times. As such, our expenses may increase. In order to maintain cost discipline, we will continue to re-design and optimize our processes, integrate AI into our workflows, and increasingly automate both our laboratory and non-laboratory operations. We believe that our continued focus in optimization, automation, and AI for higher operational efficiencies will drive further productivity gains.
Continued research and development and new product innovation
We expect to maintain significant levels of investment in research and development as we continue to develop new molecular diagnostic assays, enhance existing tests, and expand our testing capabilities into new clinical applications within our prenatal screening and oncology diagnostics product lines. These investments include costs for new test development, costs to validate new assays or to improve current assays, clinical studies to demonstrate utility and support reimbursement efforts, and development costs for new testing methodologies and platforms. Our ability to develop new products, obtain regulatory approvals for such products when required, successfully launch new products into the market, and drive adoption by healthcare providers will continue to play a key role in our competitive position and financial results. We believe these investments are critical to maintaining our technological leadership, supporting physician adoption, and driving favorable coverage decisions by payors across both our prenatal and oncology product lines.
Key components of results of operations
Revenue
The majority of our revenue is derived from sales of our prenatal test, UNITY, and a smaller portion is derived from sales of our liquid biopsy oncology tests, Northstar. Specifically, during the year ended December 31, 2025, 91% of our revenue was from our prenatal tests, 8% of our revenue was from our oncology tests, and 1% of our revenue was from our clinical trial support and other services. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately 89% and 95%, respectively, of our revenue was from our prenatal tests, 10% and 4%, respectively, of our revenue was from our oncology tests, and 1% and 1%, respectively, of our revenue was from our clinical trial support and other services. We market our products to health clinics and physicians or a combination of the insurance carrier and patient for fees. Revenue for tests is recognized when test results are delivered to the ordering physician.
For many health clinics and physicians, the payment we ultimately receive depends upon the rate of reimbursement from insurance carriers. We may also negotiate rates with patients if the patient is responsible for payment. Our efforts in obtaining reimbursement based on individual claims, including pursuing appeals or reconsiderations of claim denials, may take a substantial amount of time, and bills may not be paid for many months or, in some cases, ultimately may not receive payment.
We expect our revenue to increase over time as we expand our sales efforts, introduce new products, and contract with more payors. In addition, positive reimbursement decisions from insurance carriers would eliminate much of the uncertainty around payment and increase our overall revenue growth from ordering physicians.
Our clinical trial support and other services include revenue from strategic partnerships with Johnson & Johnson that utilize our testing capabilities as part of a project to perform clinical trials and the development and commercialization of a companion diagnostic. Revenue from these strategic partnership agreements are recognized as services are performed and costs are incurred. Our revenue derived from these agreements has not been material to our results of operations.
Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses related to materials and consumables, test kits, personnel-related expenses such as salaries, stock-based compensation expense and related benefits for its operations and support personnel, shipping costs, overhead allocations, depreciation expense, facilities-related expenses and other services used in connection with delivering our services.
Gross profit and gross margin
Gross profit represents revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit has been, and may in the future be, influenced by several factors, including test volumes and prices paid for our tests, changes in materials and consumables costs, laboratory processing costs, personnel costs, shipping, and logistics costs.
Operating expenses
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses such as salaries, stock-based compensation expense and related benefits for our product development employees. Research and development expenses also include non-personnel costs such as materials and consumables used for research, clinical third-party services and consulting expenses, and an allocation of our general overhead expenses. These costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.
We believe that continued investment in our products is important to our future growth and, as a result, we expect our research and development costs to increase in absolute dollars and moderately decline as a percentage of revenue over time if our revenue increases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses such as salaries, stock-based compensation expense and related benefits for our sales, marketing, and general and administrative employees. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include our commission payments, marketing related expenses in promoting our brand and tests, and training costs for sales employees. All selling, general and administrative costs are expensed in the period as incurred.
We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we increase our sales and marketing personnel, increase product offerings, grow our operations and incur additional expenses associated with operating as a public company. These expenses are associated with operating as a public company include expenses necessary to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on NASDAQ and related compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, as well as higher expenses for general and director and officer insurance, investor relations and other professional services.
Other income (expense)
Interest income
Interest income consists of income earned on our short-term cash and cash equivalents which include money market funds.
Interest expense
Interest expense is attributable to interest on our finance leases.
Change in fair value of term loan
Change in fair value of term loan relates to the Oberland Capital debt where we elected the fair value option under ASC 825 and is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. We also elected to record interest expense related to the Oberland Capital debt as change in fair value of term loan.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net is comprised of the change in fair value of our liabilities related to warrants for common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock and various income or expense items of a non-recurring nature.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
We account for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. We recognize the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax position are classified in the financial statements as income tax expense.

Revenues
Revenue increased $49.4 million, or 84%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was driven primarily by a 44% increase in the total volume of delivered and billable tests to approximately 188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from approximately 131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in revenue was also attributable to an increase in our Overall ASP of 28%. Overall ASP is the weighted average ASP across all of our prenatal and oncology products. It is computed by dividing revenue for our prenatal and oncology tests by the number of tests that are delivered and billable. The number of tests that are delivered and billable in a given period represents the number of billable tests for which we deliver a result to the ordering provider in such period. Furthermore, new agreements with payors entered into in the first quarter of 2026 resulted in an increase in revenue related to expected payments on the reprocessing of claims for tests delivered in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. Revenue related to services performed during the year ended December 31, 2025 that were covered by these payors contributed slightly more than half of the $9.2 million in revenue related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
We derive our revenue primarily from the number of tests processed and results delivered to the ordering physician. All tests processed are accessioned in our laboratories.
The increase in test volume was driven by higher volumes of our prenatal tests primarily as a result of the expansion of our sales force for our prenatal products. In addition, volumes for both our Northstar Select and Northstar Response oncology tests increased as a result of the expansion of our oncology sales force. The increase in our ASP per test was driven by several factors. For example, we increased the number of contracts compared to last year that we have with payors for our prenatal tests and we continued to benefit from our proprietary PLA code, both of which drove increases in ASP for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue increased $8.3 million, or 40%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $5.7 million in expenses associated with testing samples and supplies used in processing tests, phlebotomy, and related shipping costs, driven by a higher volume of tests processed; and an increase of $2.6 million in labor and consulting related expenses, including stock-based compensation, which were driven by higher test volumes and an increase in product support.
Gross profit and gross margin
Gross profit increased $41.1 million, or 108%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of tests processed and a higher Overall ASP in conjunction with a lower Overall Cost Per Test as we continued to actively reduce variable expenses and increase efficiency from our fixed costs. Overall Cost Per Test is the weighted average cost per test across all of our prenatal and oncology products. It is computed by dividing cost of goods sold for our prenatal and oncology tests by the number of tests that are accessioned. The number of tests that are accessioned in a given period represents the number of billable tests that we receive for processing during such period. We refer to this number as our “Total Test Volume.”
Gross margin increased to 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 64% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the reasons described above.
The increase in our Overall ASP contributed to all of the improvement of our gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This improvement was partially offset by an increase in our Overall Cost Per Test by 1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, offsetting some of the benefit on gross margin from the increase in Overall ASP over the same periods. Cost Per Test for both of our oncology products and for our prenatal products declined during the 3 months ended March 31, 2026 compared to both the three months ended December 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2025. However, these improvements were offset by a shift in the sales mix towards oncology products which have higher costs-per-test, resulting in the 1% increase in our Overall Cost Per Test.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our cost of goods sold consisted of 58% of variable costs and 42% of fixed costs and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 our cost of goods sold consisted of 53% of variable costs and 47% of fixed costs. The increase in variable costs during the period is attributable primarily to an increase in test volume from prenatal testing, partially offset by efficiencies gained in our lab from the increased test volume in both prenatal and oncology testing.
Operating expenses
Research and Development expenses
Research and development expenses increased $4.3 million, or 41%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in personnel costs which included $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.6 million increase in materials, equipment expenses and overhead allocations, a $0.3 million increase in consulting and other costs and a $0.2 million increase in clinical studies expense. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by an increase in our average research and development headcount of 30 employees during the periods presented to support our product development and innovation efforts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $16.7 million, or 56%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an $12.3 million increase in salaries, commissions and related expenditure which included $3.3 million in stock-based compensation expense, a $2.5 million increase in facilities and other costs, and a $1.9 million increase in professional and consulting fees. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by an increase in our average selling, general and administrative headcount of 129 employees during the periods presented to support our sales, marketing and other corporate strategies.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $3.1 million, or 208%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a higher average balance of cash and cash equivalents, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to the proceeds from our IPO in November 2025.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $30.0 thousand, or 75%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Change in fair value of term loan
Change in fair value of term loan increased $1.2 million, or 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to a change in fair value of the Oberland Capital debt of $1.0 million, primarily related to the draw of the third tranche on March 31, 2026, and an increase revenue participation payments of $0.2 million.
Other expense, net
Other expense, net increased $0.2 million, or 468%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to $0.3 million decrease in the fair value of our common stock warrants, due to a reduction in expected term, which was partially offset by losses incurred on the disposal of fixed assets.
Non-GAAP financial measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, and non-GAAP net income (loss). We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to assist us in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. By excluding the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our underlying operations, we are of the opinion that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others because they allow for additional information with respect to financial measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and forecasting. These metrics also provide investors and other users of our financial information with additional tools to compare business performance across companies and periods, while eliminating the effects of items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to core operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-
GAAP financial measures, and these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.
EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expense. A reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA is presented below (in thousands):

Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations
We define non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as income (loss) from operations presented in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense.

| Income (loss) from operations | $17,834 | $(2,315) |
| Stock-based compensation expense | 6,510 | 2,374 |
| Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations | $24,344 | $59 |
Non-GAAP net income (loss)
We monitor non-GAAP net income (loss) for planning and performance measurement purposes. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) reported on our statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of the term loan, and change in fair value of convertible notes. We exclude fair value adjustments related to debt, which can fluctuate significantly and do not directly reflect our underlying operations. Our calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) does not currently include the tax effects of the stock-based compensation expense adjustment because such tax effects have not been material to date.

Liquidity and capital resources
Since our inception, prior to our IPO, we financed our operations primarily through the issuance of convertible notes, redeemable convertible preferred stock, debt, and cash generated from the sale of our products. As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $537.5 million and working capital of $567.0 million. On November 7, 2025, we closed our IPO of our Class A common stock. The total net proceeds received were approximately $286.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash held in sweep accounts, checking accounts, lock-box accounts and money market funds. Our principal use of cash is to fund operations and invest in research and development to support our growth.
We have generated significant losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities in the past as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $256.8 million as of March 31, 2026. While we did have positive income from operations and positive cash flows in the three months ended March 31, 2026, we may be unable to sustain positive income from operations and positive cash flows in future periods. We believe our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of our sales and marketing and research and development expenditures, the continuing market acceptance of our products, and the use of cash to fund potential mergers or acquisitions. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity, equity-linked arrangements, and debt. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and at reasonable rates, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Oberland Capital note purchase agreement
We have a debt facility with availability of up to $140.0 million, issuable in four separate tranches, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2024, by and among us, the purchasers party thereto, and BWCB SA LLC (an entity affiliated with Oberland Capital), as purchaser’s agent. The advanced principal accrues interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. The first tranche of $50.0 million was advanced on August 5, 2024, with a maturity date of August 5, 2031, interest-only payments through August 5, 2031 and a lump sum payment due on August 5, 2031. The lump sum payment includes all of the outstanding principal plus a payment that would generate an internal rate of return ("IRR") for the purchasers of 10.0%. The term loan advances are secured by a lien on our assets.
We were required to sell a tranche of notes in the amount of $30.0 million prior to March 31, 2026 as we achieved the revenue and gross margin thresholds triggering this obligation on June 30, 2025 based on our results for the first half of 2025. The thresholds triggering this tranche were trailing six-month revenue of at least $112.5 million and a trailing six-month gross margin of at least 45%. The third tranche of $30.0 million was advanced on March 31, 2026, with a maturity date of August 5, 2031, interest-only payments through August 5, 2031 and a lump sum payment due on August 5, 2031. The terms of this tranche are identical to those of the first $50.0 million tranche. We did not elect the option to draw on the fourth tranche.
We have the option at any time to prepay all of the then-outstanding notes, and Oberland Capital has the option to redeem the notes upon a change in control of the Company, an event of default, or maturity. The repayment amount of the note shall equal: (1) 130% of the principal amount if the payment is made within 24 months of issuance; (2) 145% of the principal amount if the payment is made within 36 months of issuance; (3) if the payment is made within 48 months, an amount that would generate an IRR for the purchasers of 12.25%; (4) if the payment is made within 60 months of the issuance, an amount that would generate an IRR for the purchasers of 11.75%; (5) if the payment is made thereafter but prior to maturity, an amount that would generate an IRR for the purchasers of 11.25%; and (6) if the payment is made at maturity, an amount that would generate an IRR for the purchasers of 10.0%.
Beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, excluding any fiscal quarter in which our aggregate cash and cash equivalents is greater than 1.1 times the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement, we are required to maintain trailing six-month net revenue based on a schedule that gradually increases up to $120.0 million as of December 31, 2026, and a trailing six-month gross margin (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not less than 30%. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in the agreement. The Note Purchase Agreement also contains a revenue participation provision, under which, for any fiscal quarter, 0.01% of net revenue for such fiscal quarter (up to $100.0 million of net revenue for each fiscal year) per each $1.0 million principal amount of the notes will be payable to Oberland Capital. The revenue participation payments are additional financing costs of the loan and are included in the computation of the internal rate of return measures described in the preceding paragraph. Beginning with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, we are required to make revenue participation payments under the Note Purchase Agreement.
Cash flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $15,430 | $2,625 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (4,471) | (2,347) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | $30,516 | $(156) |
Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $15.4 million. Net income of $18.0 million included $12.0 million in non-cash charges primarily resulting from $6.5 million of stock-based compensation, $1.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.3 million of amortization of right-of-use assets, and aggregate $2.4 million of change in fair value of the common stock warrant liability and term loan.
Operating assets had outflows of $22.0 million primarily resulting from a $19.7 million increase in accounts receivable, driven partially by new agreements entered into with payors in 2026, $1.7 million increase in inventory and $0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, offset by a $0.1 million decrease in other non-current assets. Operating liabilities had inflows of $7.5 million primarily resulting from a $9.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expense balances, offset by a $1.2 million decrease in operating lease liabilities and $0.7 million decrease in deferred revenue.

Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $0.2 million which was comprised of $0.5 million principal payments on finance lease liabilities, offset by $0.4 million in proceeds from exercise of stock options.
Contractual obligations and commitments
Operating lease commitments. Our operating lease commitments primarily include our labs and corporate offices. As of March 31, 2026, we had fixed lease payment obligations of $70.0 million, with $10.0 million to be paid within 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
Finance lease commitments. Our finance lease commitments primarily relate to equipment used in our labs. As of March 31, 2026, we had fixed lease payment obligations of $0.7 million, with $0.4 million to be paid within 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical accounting estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP required certain estimates and assumptions to be made that may affect our financial statements. Accounting policies that have a significant impact on our results are described in Note 2 to our financial statements included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report. We consider an accounting policy to be critical if the policy is subject to a material level of judgment and if changes in those judgments are reasonably likely to materially impact our results.
We base our estimates and judgments on reasonably available information. Our estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
We continue to monitor and assess our critical estimates in light of developments, and as new events occur and additional information is obtained, our estimates may change materially in future periods.
For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, please refer to Item 7 under Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since December 31, 2025, there have been no material changes to our other critical accounting estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
See Note 2 of our financial statements for more information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Emerging growth company status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this exemption from new or revised accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (i) qualify for treatment as an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided for emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Market risk
As filed, 2,549 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates, inflation and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to our cash and cash equivalents and our indebtedness. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $537.5 million and $496.0 million, respectively, held primarily in cash deposits and money market funds. As of March 31, 2026, we had a net balance of $90.0 million outstanding under our Oberland Capital Note Purchase Agreement, which is subject to quarterly interest payments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations
Our operations are currently conducted almost entirely in the United States as international markets represented less than 1% of our revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026. If we choose to expand internationally, our results of operations and cash flows may become subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In periods when the U.S. dollar declines in value as compared to the foreign currencies in which we incur expenses, our foreign currency based expenses would increase when translated into U.S. dollars. In addition, future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price at which we sell our tests outside the United States. To date, our foreign currency risk has been minimal. As of March 31, 2026, the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk.
Inflation risk
We are also exposed to inflation risk and inflationary factors, such as increases in raw material and overhead costs, which could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 6,301 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
Management performed additional procedures, including supplementary analyses and enhanced review procedures, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the financial statements. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses and based on the additional analyses and procedures performed, Management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and they remained unremediated as of March 31, 2026, relating to the following:
- We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we lack a sufficient complement of resources with the appropriate knowledge, experience, and training to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters commensurate with our accounting and reporting requirements. Additionally, the lack of sufficient resources resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:
- We did not design and maintain effective controls to appropriately analyze, account for, and present and disclose amounts related to certain financial instruments. Specifically, we did not design and maintain controls to appropriately analyze, account for, and present and disclose amounts related to outstanding common stock warrants. Additionally, we did not design and maintain controls to appropriately present and disclose amounts related to debt instruments.
- We did not design and maintain effective user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel in creating and posting journal entries.
These material weaknesses, other than that related to user and privileged access controls, resulted in immaterial adjustments to the December 31, 2024 and 2023 financial statements. Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Efforts
We continue to make progress towards remediating these material weaknesses. These remediation measures are ongoing as of the date of this Form 10-Q and include:
- engaging third parties to assist with technical accounting matters and designing and implementing controls;
- hiring additional personnel, such as accounting, finance, information technology staff and other professionals with appropriate levels of knowledge and experience and designing and implementing controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions;
- designing and implementing controls over user access, including restrictions over privileged access as it relates to creating and posting journal entries; and
- designing and implementing controls to properly analyze, account for, present and disclose certain financial instruments transactions.
We have made progress towards designing and implementing the plan to remediate the material weaknesses and will continue to review, revise, and improve the design and implementation of our internal controls as appropriate. Although we have made enhancements to our control procedures, these material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our controls are effectively designed, implemented, and operational for a sufficient period of time, and management concludes, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, the material weaknesses were not remediated as of March 31, 2026.
We remain committed to remediating the material weaknesses and management, with the oversight of our Audit Committee, has devoted and will continue to devote considerable effort to remediate the material weaknesses identified above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Risk factors
As filed, 1,117 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, you should consider carefully the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2026. The occurrence of any of the risks and uncertainties described in such Annual Report could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In that event, the price of our Class A common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. Furthermore, such risks are not the only ones we face; additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
