Biodesix Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2021 Results and Highlights

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Lung Diagnostic Revenue of $5.4 Million and $18.7 Million Increased 48% and 49% over the comparable 2020 periods, respectively

Full-Scale Launch of GeneStrat NGS™ Test in January 2022

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, 2021 (fiscal 2021) and provided a corporate update.

“Despite the ongoing challenges caused by the global pandemic, the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021 were very productive,” said Scott Hutton, CEO of Biodesix. “Most notably, we successfully executed on our revenue growth strategy by doubling our direct, dedicated sales force, which significantly contributed to our core lung diagnostic revenue growth of 48% and 49% for fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively. We further executed on our third quarter 2021 commitment to a commercial launch of our GeneStrat NGS™ test in January 2022. From the clinical data standpoint, we presented new data during the fourth quarter of 2021 on our NodifyXL2® test from the prospective ORACLE study, and on our VeriStrat test from the prospective INSIGHT study. This new data truly underscores the value of both products in the real-world setting and adds to the body of evidence. We continue to be excited about the trajectory of the business, despite the challenges from the ongoing pandemic, which gives us confidence heading into 2022.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

  • Total revenue of $7.2 million and $54.5 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively;
    • Continued lung diagnostic year over year growth despite COVID-19 variant surges;
  • Core lung diagnostic revenue of $5.4 million and $18.7 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively, an increase of 48% and 49% over the respective prior year comparable periods;

  • BioPharma Services revenue of $1.4 million and $5.6 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively, a decrease of 29% and increase 20% over the respective prior year comparable periods;
  • COVID-19 testing revenue of $0.4 million and $30.2 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively, a decrease of 98% and increase 7% over the respective comparable periods in 2020;
    • Decline over the fourth quarter of 2020 commensurate with the shift away from lab-based testing and towards point-of-care and at-home rapid antigen testing during much of the back half of 2021;
  • Fourth quarter 2021 gross margin of $4.7 million or 65% as a percentage of revenue as compared to 46% in the comparable prior year period 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 $16.4 million and $64.9 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, an increase of 9% and 40% over the comparable prior year periods;

    • Includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.3 million and $4.9 million during fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively;
  • Net loss of $13.3 million and $43.2 million for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2021, respectively, an increase of 193% and 38% over the respective comparable periods in 2020;
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $32.7 million, inclusive of a fourth quarter 2021 equity capital issuance of $15.7 million in net proceeds and the prepayment of $20 million of the 2021 Term Loan;

About Biodesix

Biodesix is a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease. The Company develops diagnostic tests addressing important clinical questions by combining multi-omics through the power of artificial intelligence. Biodesix is the first company to offer eight non-invasive tests for patients with lung diseases. The blood based Nodify Lung® nodule risk assessment testing strategy, consisting of the Nodify XL2® and the Nodify CDT® tests, evaluates the risk of malignancy in incidental pulmonary nodules, enabling physicians to better triage patients to the most appropriate course of action. The blood based IQLung™ strategy for lung cancer patients integrates the GeneStrat ddPCR™ test, the GeneStrat NGS™ test and the VeriStrat® test to support treatment decisions across all stages of lung cancer with results in an unprecedented 36-72 hours, expediting time to treatment. Biodesix also leverages the proprietary and advanced Diagnostic Cortex® AI (Artificial Intelligence) platform, to collaborate with many of the world’s leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to solve complex diagnostic challenges in lung disease. Biodesix launched the SARS-CoV-2 ddPCR™ test, the Platelia SARS-CoV-2 Total Ab, and the cPass™ SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization Antibody test (cPass™ Neutralization Test Kit, GenScript, Inc,) in response to the global pandemic and virus that impacts the lung and causes COVID-19.
