bioAffinityTechnologies Announces Record 2025 Revenue and Unit Sales for Flagship Lung Cancer Diagnostic CyPath® Lung


Laboratorybusiness streamlined in 2025 to focus on profitable diagnostic testing services including the Company’s high-value CyPath®Lung test


Numberof CyPath® Lung tests performed in 2025 increased by 99% compared to 2024


Ordersfor CyPath® Lung by physicians and clinics rose 67% YoY due to peer-to-peer marketing, positive real-world experiences and growingtest awareness

SANANTONIO, Texas – March 13, 2026 – bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive, accurate tests for the detection of early-stage lung cancer and other lung diseases, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.


2025Highlights


Record CyPath® Lung Revenue and Unit Sales. Revenue from our noninvasive diagnostic<br> for lung cancer increased 87% over 2024 with the number of tests performed rising 99% year<br> over year, reflecting growing clinical utilization and validating the first phase of our<br> commercialization strategy. The Company’s strategic decision to discontinue unprofitable<br> pathology services and reallocate resources to the commercialization of CyPath® Lung<br> led to a 34% decrease in total revenue and a 9% decrease in operating expenses compared to<br> 2024, respectively.
Expanded Physician Network. The number of physician offices and clinics ordering CyPath® Lung<br> for their patients increased 67% over 2024. We expect the trend to accelerate in 2026 as<br> we expand our sales force into new markets. Peer-to-peer physician engagement remains a key<br> driver of growth. Compelling patient case studies and key opinion leaders (KOLs) who are<br> sharing their clinical experience are building awareness and clinical adoption of CyPath®<br> Lung.

ManagementCommentary

“2025 was a transformational year for bioAffinity Technologies. We took deliberate actions to streamline operations at PPLS and align our resources behind the national expansion of CyPath® Lung,” said Maria Zannes, bioAffinity President and Chief Executive Officer. “While these actions contributed to a decrease in consolidated revenue, we believe that the Company is now better positioned to leverage revenue generated from the profitable testing services performed in our lab. Importantly, revenue for our core value driver, CyPath® Lung, increased 87% year over year, reflecting continued physician adoption and growing clinical utilization.

“The work we accomplished in 2025 was intentional and strategic. We strengthened our capital base, removed unprofitable legacy services from PPLS services and concentrated on high-value diagnostics. The launch of our longitudinal trial and our ongoing integration into the military healthcare system are both significant milestones that support our strategy of establishing CyPath® Lung as a standard of care for indeterminate pulmonary nodules and a tool for surveillance after cancer treatment.

“Every day, we hear from practitioners who confirm the need for noninvasive, accurate lung cancer diagnostics, particularly when imaging and risk models are inconclusive or turn out to be wrong. CyPath® Lung remains our first priority. It is a gamechanger that provides clinical confidence for physicians and better outcomes for patients. We believe our focus on improving care for patients at risk for lung cancer and other pulmonary diseases will create long-term value for our shareholders.”

2026Outlook


Financial Outlook. bioAffinity entered 2026 with strong momentum, building on a year of increased<br> sales and revenue growth and positioning the Company for continued expansion in the lung<br> cancer diagnostics market. Our forecast for unit sales of CyPath® Lung reflects an increase<br> of greater than 100% over 2025, with a corresponding increase in revenues for our noninvasive<br> lung cancer diagnostic. We will continue to expand our market both geographically and by<br> the number of physicians and medical facilities adding CyPath® Lung to the diagnostic<br> pathway for patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules and to post-treatment care for<br> surveillance of lung cancer survivors.
Market Opportunity. Consistent with estimates from the US Preventive Services Task Force, the<br> number of indeterminate pulmonary nodules detected in the U.S. through lung cancer screening<br> and incidental imaging is projected to grow 62% from 2.9 million in 2025 to 4.7 million in<br> 2030, representing an estimated market opportunity exceeding $4.7 billion for CyPath®<br> Lung. The forecast assumes 10% compound annual growth from 2024–2030, driven by increased<br> lung cancer screening adoption, improved adherence to screening guidelines, and enhanced<br> detection through AI-enabled imaging tools. Another market opportunity opening up for CyPath®<br> Lung is its potential to improve post-treatment surveillance for lung cancer survivors. The<br> number of Americans living with lung cancer is projected to increase 28% from 680,450 in<br> 2025 to 871,580 in 2035^2^, representing an estimated $870 million market opportunity<br> over the next decade.

| --- | | ● | CyPath® Lung Longitudinal Trial. In March 2026, we enrolled the first patient in our longitudinal<br> study evaluating CyPath® Lung as a noninvasive diagnostic for high-risk patients with<br> indeterminate pulmonary nodules. The trial plans to enroll up to 2,000 patients across 17<br> Veterans Administration (VA), military, academic, and private medical centers and will assess<br> the sensitivity and specificity of the test over a follow-up period of up to two years. The<br> John P. Murtha Cancer Center Research Program (MCCRP), a research program within the Department<br> of Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland,<br> is providing support and funding associated with the trial at several federal facilities.<br> This study is intended to provide additional clinical validation to support broader adoption<br> in federal and commercial markets. | | --- | --- | | ● | Military Research Collaboration to Expand Sample Collection Options for CyPath® Lung. In February<br> 2026, we announced a collaboration with Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) to evaluate the<br> use of CyPath® Lung on sputum samples obtained via tracheal and bronchial suctioning<br> during bronchoscopy. This study is designed to assess the clinical utility of CyPath®<br> Lung for earlier detection of lung cancer in patients undergoing standard bronchoscopy procedures,<br> potentially expanding the test’s applicability to a larger patient population and increasing<br> integration into pulmonology workflows. | | ● | Real-World Case Studies Validate CyPath® Lung. The Company released 10 patient case studies<br> in 2025 including multiple cases in which CyPath® Lung detected curative Stage 1A lung<br> cancer. In February 2026, we released two new real-world clinical cases in which a negative<br> CyPath® Lung test result supported the physician’s decision to continue monitoring<br> high-risk patients with indeterminate nodules through noninvasive surveillance. CyPath®<br> Lung guided physician decision-making and reduced the burden on the patients by easing anxiety<br> and helping them avoid additional invasive, costly and often risky procedures. The body of<br> clinical evidence behind CyPath® Lung and real-world case studies continues to grow. | | ● | Positive Findings Presented at AAAAI on Expansion of Platform Technology to Asthma. In February<br> 2026, the Company presented research on the ability of our innovative diagnostic platform<br> to identify antibody drug receptors in sputum, including receptors for dupilumab, a leading<br> therapy for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and benralizumab, another<br> asthma therapy. The research supports advancement of the Company’s pipeline tests aimed<br> at guiding personalized treatment decisions and improving disease monitoring for asthma and<br> COPD sufferers. |
