Biodesix Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results and Highlights

Second Quarter 2021 Revenue of $11.9 Million Increased 180% and Lung Diagnostic Revenue of $4.8 Million Increased 109% over Second Quarter 2020

Announcing Acceleration of the Launch of the 72-hour liquid NGS Test to Early First Quarter 2022

Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 p.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 second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a corporate update.

“It was a productive quarter with 180% year over year growth in total revenue. Our first four blood-based tests which make up our core lung diagnostic testing, grew 109% year over year and 20% over the prior quarter,” said Scott Hutton, CEO of Biodesix. “We expect growth in core lung diagnostic testing to continue through 2021 driven by the U.S.’s emergence from the pandemic, productivity from our growing salesforce, and our efforts to build on the body of evidence supporting the use of our tests. Beyond our currently marketed products, we also continue to develop our Diagnostic Cortex® Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform and expand our pipeline of products capable of providing broad lung diagnostics to address patients' needs over the course of their disease. The launch of our 72-hour liquid NGS test is now projected for the first quarter of 2022 and will supplement our 36-hour VeriStrat and GeneStrat tests. With this accelerated launch and multiple studies underway for our Risk of Recurrence (ROR) and Primary Immune Response (PIR) tests as well as our ALTITUDE, BEACON, INSIGHT, and ORACLE prospective studies actively enrolling or following patients, we look forward to a productive and exciting second half of the year.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of 2020 (where applicable):

  • Total revenue of $11.9 million, an increase of 180%;



  • Core lung diagnostic revenue of $4.8 million, an increase of 109%;
    • Continued sequential recovery from initial rapid uptake of COVID-19 immunizations.
    • Growth driven primarily by Nodify XL2® and Nodify CDT®.
    • Nodify XL2 growth triggered the previously disclosed milestone resulting in a $37 million obligation payable by us over six quarterly installments of approximately $4.6 million beginning January 2022 and a final payment of approximately $9.3 million in July 2023.

  • COVID-19 testing revenue of $6.1 million, an increase of 345%;
    • Sequential quarter over quarter decline commensurate with our prior commentary as US immunizations accelerated in second quarter.

  • Services revenue of $1.0 million, an increase of 76%;
    • Clinical trial services showed improvement and we expect further recovery in clinical trial enrollments in second half of 2021.



  • Gross profit of $4.8 million, an increase of 103%, and gross margin percentage of 40% as compared to 56% representing a decline primarily attributable to the lower gross margin COVID-19 testing;



  • Operating expenses (excluding direct costs and expenses) of $15.4 million, which includes an investment in the planned expansion of our sales force, increased 93% over second quarter 2020;
    • On track to double size of lung focused direct and dedicated sales force in 2021.
    • Non-cash stock compensation expense of $0.5 million as compared to $0.1 million.
    • Non-cash expense for change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.6 million as compared to a gain of $1.0 million.



  • Net loss of $11.4 million, an increase of 38% over second quarter of 2020; and



  • Maintained fiscal discipline and strong liquidity with cash and cash equivalents of $56.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and expect to qualify for PPP loan forgiveness of $3.1 million later in 2021.
