Biodesix, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDSX) a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, today announced that the Company expects to report fourth quarter and record full-year 2021 preliminary unaudited total revenue of $7.2 million and $54.5 million, respectively. The strength in the full-year 2021 total revenue of $54.5 million compared to $45.6 million in 2020 was a result of growth in the Company’s core lung diagnostic testing and first half 2021 COVID-19 testing. The financial results included in this release pertaining to the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021 are preliminary and unaudited and subject to final review and adjustments.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Total quarterly revenue of $6.8 million, excluding COVID-19 testing revenue, increased $1.2 million or 22% for the fourth quarter 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 and $0.8 million or 13% for the fourth quarter 2021 compared to the third quarter 2021; and
  • Total annual revenue of $24.3 million, excluding COVID-19 testing revenue, increased $7.1 million or 41% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
  • Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 of $32.7 million.

“We are pleased to see the continued growth in our core lung diagnostic business throughout 2021 despite the challenges created by the ongoing pandemic,” stated Scott Hutton, Chief Executive Officer. “With the launch of our new IQLung™ Treatment Guidance Testing Strategy, which includes the new GeneStrat NGS™ test and provides for both early and advanced stage lung cancer testing results, our Nodify Lung testing for lung nodule risk assessment, as well as the broad array of tests that we perform on behalf of our biopharmaceutical partners, we are very well positioned to continue to drive growth in our core business in 2022. As we said in our third quarter earnings call, given our current financial position, including covenants under our current debt facility, we will continue to explore paths to greater liquidity, including raising capital through additional equity and/or debt as the markets continue to evolve, and through partnering opportunities.”
