Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Core Lung Diagnostic Revenue of $8.2 Million and $29.3 Million Increased 51% and 57% over the comparable 2021 periods, respectively

2023 Total Revenue Guidance Expected to be Between $52 Million and $55 Million - Mid-point of the range represents growth in excess of 60% over 2022 revenues excluding revenues from COVID-19 testing

Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:30 a.m. ET

Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, today announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 (fiscal 2022) and provided a corporate update.

“It has been a productive year for Biodesix, and I am extremely proud of our team’s performance. 2022 saw a significant increase in adoption of our core lung diagnostics business, growing test volume by 54% and revenue 57% year over year. In addition, we continued to produce compelling clinical utility data, expand reimbursement coverage including Medicare coverage of our Nodify CDT® test and new private coverage policies for our Nodify XL2® test,” said Scott Hutton, CEO of Biodesix. “Our strong performance and positive momentum gives us continued confidence for 2023.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

  • Total revenue of $9.6 million and $38.2 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively, an increase of 33% and decrease of 30% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
    • Continued growth in core lung diagnostic sales, offset by the expected year-over-year decline in COVID-19 revenue due to the decrease in testing across the year.
  • Core lung diagnostic revenue of $8.2 million and $29.3 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively, an increase of 51% and 57% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
    • Strong year-over-year performance in core lung diagnostics primarily driven by the increased adoption of Nodify Lung® nodule management tests and, the highest total tests delivered in Company history.
  • COVID-19 testing revenue declined to an immaterial amount for the fourth quarter and $5.2 million for fiscal 2022, a decrease of 96% and 83% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
    • Commensurate with prior guidance resulting from the increase in COVID-19 vaccination rates across the U.S. and the adoption and availability of at-home testing, including the expiration of our most significant testing contracts.
  • Biopharma Services revenue of $1.4 million and $3.7 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively, a decrease of 1% and 34% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
    • Clinical trial enrollment and shipping logistics continue to recover but are still impacting timelines for existing and new agreements;
    • Entering 2023 with highest dollars under contract in Company history, including both prospective and retrospective studies.
  • Gross margin was $6.3 million or 66% and $24.1 million or 63% for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively, as a percentage of revenue compared to 65% and 44% in the comparable prior year periods, primarily driven by the mix shift of sales to higher-margin core lung diagnostics and away from lower-margin COVID-19 testing;
  • Operating expenses (excluding direct costs and expenses) of $20.2 million and $74.6 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, an increase of 23% and 15% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
    • Increase in operating expenses is primarily from increased sales and marketing expense from the hiring of new sales reps, increased travel-related costs as access to physicians returned to pre-pandemic levels, and increases in other non-employee related costs all resulting from year-over-year growth in core lung diagnostic revenue;
    • Includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $2.1 million and $6.0 million during fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively.
  • Net loss of $20.3 million and $65.4 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively, an increase of 53% and 52% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
    • Includes loss on debt extinguishment and modification of $4.0 million and $7.0 million in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2022, respectively;
    • Fiscal 2021 included gain on debt extinguishment and modification of $2.3 million.
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $43.1 million as of December 31, 2022;
    • Raised $65.7 million of net proceeds during the quarter through debt and equity offerings and utilized $23.9 million to extinguish outstanding debt.

2023 Financial Outlook

  • The Company anticipates generating between $52 million to $55 million in total revenue in 2023;
    • Guidance represents anticipated 36-44% growth over 2022 total revenue from Lung Diagnostic testing, Biopharmaceutical Services and COVID-19 testing;
    • Excluding 2022 COVID-19 testing revenue, Guidance represents anticipated 58-67% growth.
