RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cancer Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CGIX), an emerging leader in DNA-based cancer diagnostics offering bench to the bedside solutions, announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
The company will host a conference call today at 8:30am ET; dial-in information is found below.
“As we move toward year-end, our business continues to perform well, delivering strong results and creating additional value for the global oncology community,” said Panna Sharma, CEO & President of Cancer Genetics, Inc. “There is continued high demand for our unique, proprietary portfolio of genomic tests and panels in the marketplace and our focused M&A strategy has delivered three transformative acquisitions over the past two years.”
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Third quarter 2015 revenues were $4.0 million, up 24% from $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2014.
- Biopharma Services revenue was $2.6 million, up 35% from $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 as new trials launched and existing trials continued to mature into later stages
- Clinical Services revenue was $1.1 million, down slightly from $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, due largely to test volume and reimbursement rates
- Revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2015 were $12.6 million, up 104% from $6.2 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2014.
- For the nine-months ended September 30, 2015, Biopharma Services revenue was $8.6 million, up 204% from $2.8 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2014
- Clinical Services revenue remained steady at $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, while Discovery Services generated $0.7 million in revenues, driven in part by growing demand for NGS services throughout India and Asia
- For the nine-months ended September 30, 2015, pro forma revenue for Cancer Genetics and Response Genetics was $22.6 million.
- Gross profit margins improved to 22.0%, or $0.9 million, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to 20.0%, or $0.7 million, in the third quarter of 2014, and improved to 26.0%, or $3.2 million, in the nine-months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 13.0%, or $0.8 million, in the comparable period of 2014.
- Cash & cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 was $19.9 million.
- On a pro forma basis, after considering the close of the RGI transaction, which used $7 million in cash, and the anticipated net proceeds from our recently priced public offering, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $23 million.
“Our recently priced public offering, which we expect will result in gross proceeds of $12 million for CGI, will help facilitate RGI’s integration, will back multiple upcoming launches and will further support the marketing and continued growth of our Biopharma business. Rapid, successful integration of RGI will deliver revenue and cost synergies, and will accelerate the time to cash flow breakeven for CGI. The RGI acquisition is a value creator for the Company that expands the product offering; enhances CGI’s ability to compete for national payer contracts; enhances geographic sales coverage; grows the existing customer base; and provides the basis for deeper customer penetration,” continued Sharma.
RECENT CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS
- Finalized the purchase of RGI, which is a significant element of the growth strategy.
- Expected to add an additional $10-$12 million in annual revenue

- Studies were independently conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the U.S. and Kamineni Hospital in Hyderabad, India, respectively.
- The NCI study included 296 patients and the FHACT test demonstrated 96.9% sensitivity when used to evaluate samples preserved in liquid cytology
- The Kamineni Hospital study included 200 patients and the FHACT test was used in conjunction with molecular detection of HPV, and other methods, and demonstrated 94% sensitivity and specificity
- Both studies support the further evaluation and development of FHACT as a molecular diagnostic tool to improve the management of HPV-related cancers and reduce the costs associated with patient management globally
- Expanded significantly the patent portfolio in cancer diagnostics.
- Received a third U.S. patent directed to a separate proprietary aspect of our unique FHACT test from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office

- CGI’s total covered lives are now over 50 million in the U.S. through agreements with third-party payers and healthcare organizations
"CGI continues to execute well on its bench to bedside strategy. Going forward, we expect to benefit from increased demand and complexity in clinical trials and from our well-positioned offering for the clinical oncology community,” concluded Sharma.
