Revenue From Commercial Sales Increased 67% Year-Over-Year in the Third Quarter
RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CGIX) ("CGI" or the "Company"), a DNA-based diagnostics company focused on developing genomic-based oncology tests and services, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third-Quarter Highlights
- Test volume increased 71% to 2,920 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, up from 1,704 for the third quarter of 2012.
- Total revenue increased 37% to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2012.
- Revenue from commercial operations (excluding grants) increased 67% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to the third quarter of 2012.
- Gross margin percentage increased to 29% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to 22% in the third quarter of 2012.
- Total operating expenses were $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $2.0 million the same period of 2012.
"The significant growth of our commercial sales provides further validation of our ability to translate research-driven genetic insight into the clinical setting and improve patient care," stated Panna Sharma, CEO of CGI. "With five proprietary products in the market today, two successful capital raises completed since our IPO, and an underserved market opportunity in complex cancers, we are redefining the standard of care for personalized cancer treatment, and we believe that CGI is well positioned to be a leader in the emerging field of DNA-based cancer diagnostics, ultimately leading to improved patient treatment and higher value for the health care system."
Net loss was $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared with net income of $0.3 million for the same period of 2012. The net loss was primarily the result of non-cash expense related to an increase in the fair value of warrant liability.
