Q2 CyPath® Lung test sales up 217% over Q1 2024

Expanded CyPath® Lung test sales to physicians in California and Ohio; now receiving orders from physicians in eight states outside of Texas

Raised full-year CyPath® Lung sales forecast for test marketing program by 85% during the second quarter

SAN ANTONIO, Texas--()--bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive, accurate tests for the detection of early-stage lung cancer and other lung diseases, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Key Highlights

  • Generated quarterly revenue of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2024.
  • Limited market launch in Texas has realized more than 963% annualized growth rate for CyPath® Lung orders in first six months of 2024 over full-year 2023, with second quarter 2024 sales up 217% over first quarter 2024 sales.
  • Forecasting upwards of $9.6 million in 2024 revenues for wholly owned subsidiary Precision Pathology Laboratory Services (PPLS), up 23% over 2023.
  • Increased 2024 CyPath® Lung sales forecast 85% from the original forecast reported in the 2023 Annual Report, which would result in a 2,429% year-over-year full-year growth.
  • Number of physician offices ordering CyPath® Lung is up 144% since Jan. 1, 2024.
  • Referrals and word-of-mouth from physicians, including key opinion leaders (KOLs), continue to drive strong uptake of CyPath® Lung in states beyond Texas; now receiving CyPath® Lung orders from physicians in eight states, up from six in the first quarter of 2024. In addition to previously reported orders from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Arizona, and Michigan, physicians in California and Ohio have also begun ordering CyPath® Lung tests.
  • Continued to advance new product development initiatives in collaboration with the U.S Department of Defense’s largest military health organization, focusing on tests that use our artificial intelligence and flow cytometry platform for diagnosing COPD and companion test with bronchoscopy.
  • Successfully closed a $1.75 million registered direct offering and concurrent private placement to fund continued growth.

Management Commentary

“We are encouraged by the momentum we've achieved in the second quarter, with CyPath® Lung sales growing 217% over the previous quarter and exceeding our initial forecasts,” bioAffinity President and Chief Executive Officer Maria Zannes said. “This growth underscores the increasing recognition of the role CyPath® Lung can play in the early detection of lung cancer, a disease where early diagnosis can significantly improve patient outcomes. As we expand our reach beyond Texas, the positive reception from physicians across multiple states reinforces our belief that CyPath® Lung will have a significant impact in lung cancer diagnostics, a U.S. market projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2030.”

“Our strategic focus remains on scaling our operations and solidifying our position in this market, supported by a strong foundation of word-of-mouth referrals and physician enthusiasm,” Zannes continued. “With our experienced sales and support teams in place, we are well-prepared to meet the growing demand and continue market expansion. As we look ahead, we believe our efforts will not only drive further growth but also bring us closer to our mission of improving patient lives.”

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $2.4 million, compared with $20,000 revenue for the prior-year period. The majority of the year-over-year increase is through the acquisition of PPLS. Revenue is primarily generated from patient service fees, including billing for CyPath® Lung tests, with additional revenues generated from histology service fees and medical director fees.

Research and development expenses were $402,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $335,000 for the comparable period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs for additional research personnel and higher R&D laboratory supply costs.

Clinical development expenses were $51,000 for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $35,000 for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation costs and benefits from the addition of new clinical development personnel.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to acquired general and administrative costs from PPLS and an increase in personnel and services to support the launch of CyPath® Lung.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $2.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.20 per share, for the comparable period in 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, were $0.8 million, compared with $2.8 million as of December 31, 2023. bioAffinity Technologies raised aggregate gross proceeds of $1.75 million in a registered direct offering, concurrent private placement, and warrant inducement transaction that closed on Aug. 5, 2024.

About CyPath® Lung

CyPath® Lung uses proprietary advanced flow cytometry and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. Automated data analysis helps determine if cancer is present or if the patient is cancer-free. CyPath® Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. Clinical study results demonstrated that CyPath® Lung had 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity and 88% accuracy in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. Diagnosing and treating early-stage lung cancer can improve outcomes and increase patient survival. For more information, visit www.cypathlung.com.
