Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:00 a.m. ET
BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2022-- Biodesix, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, today announced its financial and operating results for third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.
“Our core lung diagnostic testing momentum through the third quarter resulted in record test volume and revenue. Lung diagnostic revenue grew 102% over the third quarter of 2021 and 26% over the second quarter 2022,” said Scott Hutton, President and CEO. “In addition to a focus on sales growth, we have also accomplished several specific strategic reimbursement goals, including all five of our core lung diagnostic tests now being covered by Medicare and the addition of these tests to the Federal Fee Schedule contract for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. These achievements have us well positioned for strong growth and continued high gross margin contributions as we look to the fourth quarter 2022 and beyond. We also remain committed to being a data-driven company through the expansion of our body of supportive clinical data and were proud to have recently participated in the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) annual meeting where we had several key presentations.”
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period of 2021 (where applicable):
2022 Financial Outlook
The Company expects to be at the high end of its previously disclosed total revenue guidance for 2022 of $37.5 million and $39.5 million. Our guidance contemplates minimal COVID-19 and BioPharma Services revenue in the fourth quarter and continued growth within our core lung diagnostic testing.
