Mdxhealth Reports Q1-2026 Results
Conference call with Q&A today at 4:30 PM ET / 22:30 CET
IRVINE, California -- May 13, 2026 (GlobeNewswire) -- Mdxhealth SA $(MDXH)$ (the "Company" or "mdxhealth"), a leading precision diagnostics company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Michael K. McGarrity, CEO of mdxhealth, commented: "As we prioritized the integration of our recently acquired ExoDx business and to allow for renewed focus on our core prostate cancer business, we have made the strategic decision to discontinue our Resolve UTI offering and laboratory operations in Plano, Texas. The Resolve test was uniquely designed for our urology customer base to aid in the rapid diagnosis and therapy of patients presenting with often serial, complex, multi-organism infections. Despite the urgent clinical need and medical necessity of the Resolve test, the increasingly uncertain reimbursement landscape, fueled by an unexplained recent policy reversal by our Texas lab's Medicare administrator (Novitas), has made the continued operation of this business line unsustainable. We believe this proactive exit allows us to focus our operating discipline and sales force on our prostate cancer precision diagnostics, which will drive the most value for our customers, patients and stakeholders.
We are confident that the near-term impact of this decision will augment our ability to drive sustainable growth of our prostate cancer menu, despite its associated impact on our Q1 results and 2026 guidance. We believe our renewed focus will advance market share and our ability to explore opportunities in additional urologic cancers that align with our sales force focus and customer base.
An additional benefit of this refocus has been to catalyze our commitment to leverage the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into every aspect of our business. Earlier this year, we initiated an AI-dedicated strategic initiative to build-out an AI data platform throughout the company. With the hundreds of thousands of unique biopsy tissue specimens received in our laboratory, our goal is to leverage AI to improve our operating efficiency and clinical value, as well as optimize our customer experience. With our recently announced landmark PROTECT trial, the study protocol with Oxford University includes AI-enhanced endpoints, targeted to improve the performance and prognostic value of our GPS test. In addition, we have initiated a collaboration with a customer-facing digital innovation company to develop AI-enhanced offerings, building on the evidence-based clinical excellence of our tissue-based tests, thereby expanding our market opportunity in prostate and other urologic cancers.
By streamlining our operations and removing the reimbursement volatility associated with Resolve, we are effectively resetting our growth trajectory for the remainder of the year. We are establishing updated 2026 revenue guidance for our core cancer business, now excluding Resolve, of $110-115 million, which would represent 20-26% year-over-year growth over our 2025 core cancer business."
Key highlights for the first quarter of 2026:
-- Revenue of $27.4 million, an increase of 13% over prior year period
-- Pro-forma adjusted core revenue (excluding the Resolve business) of $23.9
million, an increase of 11% over prior year period pro-forma adjusted
revenue of $21.6 million. See the "unaudited pro-forma adjusted" tables
at the end of this press release for a full reconciliation of our
continuing operations
-- Tissue-based (Confirm mdx and GPS mdx) test volume of 11,110, a decrease
of 12% over prior year period
-- Liquid-based (Exo mdx and Resolve mdx) test volume of 26,235, an increase
of 128% over prior year period
-- Quarter-end cash and cash equivalents balance of $43.2 million

Revenue increased 13% to $27.4 million compared to $24.3 million for the prior year period. Tissue-based tests accounted for 66% and 85% of total first quarter 2026 and 2025 revenue, respectively.
Gross profit increased by 7% to $16.6 million compared to $15.5 million for the prior year period. Gross margins were 60.7% compared to 63.8% for the prior year period, a reduction of 3.1 percentage points, primarily attributed to our test mix.
Operating expenses increased 19% to $23.9 million compared to $20.1 million for the prior year period, primarily driven by increases in headcount and other operating expenses related to the ExoDx acquisition.
Net loss decreased by 4% to $8.9 million compared to $9.2 million for the year period, primarily as a result of the increased operating expenses related to the ExoDx acquisition, offset by lower net financial expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was ($4.3) million, an increase of 226% compared to ($1.3) million for the same period last year, primarily due to higher operating loss.
A reconciliation of IFRS to non-IFRS financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-IFRS Disclosure."
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, were $43.2 million.
Subsequent Events
On April 15, 2026, mdxhealth made its 2025 earnout payment to Exact Sciences in the amount of $15.0 million. After taking into account this earnout payment, our pro-forma cash balance as of March 31, 2026, would have been $28.2 million.
On April 20, 2026, the Company received a Medicare contractor recoupment decision from Novitas Solutions totaling approximately $10.4 million related to a retrospective review of certain historical Resolve mdx claims. The Company strongly disagrees with the contractor's findings and is vigorously contesting the contractor's decision on substantive and procedural grounds.
Management has evaluated the matter and concluded that the recognition criteria for an accrual have not been met. The existence and ultimate amount of any obligation are contingent on the outcomes of a multi-level appeals process, which are uncertain future events not wholly within the Company's control. At this time no reliable estimate of any obligation can be made. Accordingly, the matter is accounted for as a contingent liability, and no provision has been recorded for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
On May 8, 2026, the Company approved a strategic plan to exit the Resolve mdx business, including the cessation of operations at its laboratory facility in Plano, Texas. As a result of this decision, the Company expects to incur restructuring and other exit-related charges in connection with the wind-down. These charges are expected to consist principally of (i) employee severance and other termination benefits, (ii) charges associated with the Plano facility lease, including accelerated amortization of the right-of-use asset and leasehold improvements, (iii) impairment of long-lived assets associated with the Resolve mdx business, including capitalized assets and equipment, (iv) charges relating to the disposition or termination of vendor and supplier contracts, and (v) other exit-related costs. The amount and timing of these charges has not been finalized and will be determined and recognized in accordance with applicable IFRS in future periods as the wind-down is executed and additional information becomes available.

Non-IFRS disclosure
In addition to the Company's financial results determined in accordance with IFRS, the Company provides adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, non-IFRS measures that the Company determines to be useful in evaluating its operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss less interest expense, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, impairment, share-based compensation, fair-value adjustments, debt extinguishment costs, provision for inventory obsolescence, reduction in force severance costs, ExoDx acquisition expenses, amendments related to the Exact Sciences earnout, income tax benefit (expense), and other financial and non-cash expenses. The Company also presents adjusted revenue, adjusted cost of goods, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss, and adjusted basic and diluted loss per share, which exclude the impact of the recently discontinued Resolve business. Management believes that presentation of non-IFRS financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company's core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The Company uses this non-IFRS financial information to establish budgets, manage the Company's business, and set incentive and compensation arrangements. However, non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental information purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. For example, non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA excludes a number of expense items that are included in net loss. As a result, positive adjusted EBITDA may be achieved while a significant net loss persists. The Company's presentation of expected non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA is a forward-looking statement about the Company's future financial performance. This non-IFRS measure includes adjustments like share-based compensation, debt extinguishment costs, fair-value adjustments related to contingent considerations that are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertain to events that have not yet occurred. Additionally, management does not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use. Information reconciling forward-looking non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures is therefore not available without unreasonable effort and is not provided. The occurrence, timing, and amount of any of the items excluded from IFRS to calculate non-IFRS could significantly impact the Company's IFRS results.
