Personalis Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for population sequencing and cancer, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter Highlights

  • Record quarterly revenue of $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, a 9% increase
  • Revenue of $7.7 million from biopharma and all other customers, excluding VA MVP, in the first quarter of 2021 compared with $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, a 74% increase
  • Announced a collaboration with Natera in the field of personalized oncology; Personalis to provide the exome sequence data for Natera to pair with their personalized ctDNA platform, SignateraTM
  • Announced a collaboration with MapKure, LLC, a company jointly owned by BeiGene, Ltd. and SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc., LLC for use of the NeXT PlatformTM for clinical trials and companion diagnostic development
  • Added approximately $162 million of cash to balance sheet from public offering of common stock financing in the first quarter of 2021; ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $353.4 million as of March 31, 2021

“I’m proud to say that we were able to report record revenue once again this quarter and achieved our nineteenth consecutive quarter of growth, as we converted an increasing number of orders into revenue. Biopharma and all other customer revenue grew 74% year-over-year, and orders from customers exceeded revenues reported once again this quarter,” said John West, Chief Executive Officer. “Recently, we announced a partnership with Natera in the field of personalized oncology, and a companion diagnostics collaboration with MapKure. Both collaborations further validate our NeXT platform as a leading front end tissue-sequencing platform, capable of detecting cancer cell mutations that conventional exome tests often miss. Our tissue offering complements our whole exome liquid biopsy product that we launched in August 2020 and NeXT Personal, our Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) offering that we expect to launch in 2021, providing Personalis with access to three distinct revenue opportunities in the rapidly growing cancer monitoring market.”
