Interpace Biosciences Announces Record Third Quarter 2024 Financial and Business Results
| ● | Q3 Revenue of $12.3 million; a $3.2M and 35% increase year-over-year | |
| ● | Q3 Test volume up 26% year over year to record levels | |
| ● | Q3 Cash collections of $11.3M; a $1.4M and 15% increase year-over-year | |
| ● | Q3 Volume, Revenue, and Profitability at all-time record levels |
PARSIPPANY, NJ, Nov 4, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (“Interpace” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: IDXG) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and provided a business and financial update.
Third quarter Net Revenue was $12.3 million. Operating costs per test for the third quarter were approximately 11% lower than the same period of 2023. Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2024 was $1.4 million, a $1.9M improvement from the prior year quarter. “The Company achieved record test volume, revenue, and cash collections, while reducing operating costs per test, in the third quarter of 2024. Test volume, test revenue, and cash collections increased over the prior year quarter, driven by increased volume and collection initiatives,” said Chris McCarthy, Chief Financial Officer. “The cash position of the Company allowed for additional investments in our salesforce, while simultaneously improving income from continuing operations. This also supported additional principal payments on our debt agreement, continuing to improve the Company’s balance sheet.” McCarthy added.
“Q3 2024 represented record revenue and testing volume for the Company, resulting in the achievement of continued profitability and positive cash flow,” stated Tom Burnell, President and CEO. “The Company’s proprietary molecular diagnostics tests (ThyGeNEXT® + ThyraMIR®v2 and PancraGEN®) continued to grow by double-digits in Q3 2024 over Q3 2023 and is further evidence of the importance of molecular diagnostics for the risk stratification of thyroid and pancreatic cancer. Q3 2024 marked the eighteenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year volume growth for the Company. With several quarters of growth, and the recently announced change to the Company’s capital structure, Interpace believes it is now well positioned for substantial continued growth through additional product commercialization and/or M&A activity” added Burnell. He said, “the Company is in the process of interviewing equity research partners as well as investment bankers to assist in raising additional capital to help the company achieve its growth strategy as well as become a Nasdaq-listed company.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, results provided throughout this document, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate the results of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, are useful to both management and investors in analyzing our ongoing business and operating performance. We believe that providing the non-GAAP information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view our financial results in the way that management views financial results.
In this document, we discuss Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure cash flow of the ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income or loss from continuing operations, plus depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock based compensation and ESPP plans, interest and taxes, and other non-cash expenses including change in fair values of notes payable and contingent consideration. The table above includes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
