Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $150.3 million, an increase of 15% compared to $130.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2025. Testing revenue was $145.7 million, an increase of 19% compared to $122.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven by growth in our Decipher Prostate and Afirma tests. Product revenue was $3.9 million, an increase of 7% compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Biopharmaceutical and other revenue was $0.8 million, an expected decrease compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 given the restructuring and liquidation proceedings of Veracyte SAS.
Total gross margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 72%, compared to 69% in the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP gross margin was 75%, compared to 72% in the second quarter of 2025.
Operating expenses were $85.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $95.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP operating expenses grew 16% to $70.0 million compared to $60.3 million in the second quarter of 2025.
Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $25.5 million, an increase of $26.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. Diluted net earnings per common share was $0.31, an improvement of $0.32 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per common share was $0.54, an increase of $0.10 compared to the second quarter of 2025. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2026 was $81.0 million, an improvement of $42.1 million compared to the same period in 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $44.0 million, an improvement of 23% compared to the second quarter of 2025, representing 29.2% of revenue compared to 27.5% of revenue in the same period in 2025.
2026 Financial Outlook
The company is raising 2026 total revenue guidance to $590 million to $596 million, or 14% to 15% growth, from prior guidance of $582 to $592 million, or 13% to 14% growth. The company is also raising testing revenue guidance to $576 million to $582 million, or 17% to 18% growth, from prior guidance of $570 million to $580 million, excluding the contribution from recently launched tests.
The company continues to expect adjusted EBITDA margin to be greater than 26%.
The company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA margin to expected GAAP net income margin, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, that are dependent on various factors, are out of the company’s control, or that cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, and other adjustments. Any associated estimate of these items and their impact on GAAP performance for the guidance period could vary materially. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the section titled “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain, and reference certain non‐GAAP results including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue (also referred to as adjusted EBITDA margin), non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) and non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool.
We use non-GAAP financial measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. However, the non-GAAP financial measures we present may be different from those used by other companies, including similarly titled measures.
We compute these non-GAAP measures by adjusting the applicable GAAP measure to remove the impact of certain recurring and non-recurring charges and gains and to adjust for the impact of income tax items related to such adjustments to our GAAP financial statements. In particular, we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses relating to our acquisitions of Decipher Biosciences, HalioDx and C2i Genomics, impairment charges associated with the nCounter license and other biopharmaceutical services related to HalioDx intangible assets, all stock-based compensation and certain costs related to restructuring from all of our non-GAAP financial measures as well as depreciation and income tax items from our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we changed our non-GAAP policy to exclude all stock-based compensation to align with our peers and we have also excluded all stock-based compensation from our prior period non-GAAP financial measures. Management has excluded the effects of these items in non-GAAP financial measures to help investors gain a better understanding of the core operating results and future prospects of the company, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company's performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods or forecasts. The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, together with its supplemental non‐GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations. See “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure presented to the comparable GAAP financial measure.
