Conference call and webcast today at 4:30pm ET
IRVINE, CA – November 6, 2024 (GlobeNewswire) – MDxHealth SA (NASDAQ: MDXH) (the "Company" or "mdxhealth"), a leading precision diagnostics company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Michael K. McGarrity, CEO of mdxhealth, commented: “We generated another strong topline performance in the third quarter of 2024, with year-over-year revenue growth of 21%, or 27% when adjusted for a backlog of Select mdx revenues in Q3 of last year following the finalization of Medicare coverage. Demand for our comprehensive menu remains robust, and we have commercial and market access teams in place to drive sustainable growth. We also strengthened our balance sheet during the quarter, with participation from existing and new investors, which enables us to drive continued growth and deliver on our view of turning adjusted EBITDA positive in the first half of next year.
“Based on our expectation of continued execution, we are taking our 2024 revenue guidance up from $85-87 million to $87-89 million, representing 25% year-over-year revenue growth at the midpoint of our guidance. Looking forward, based on our performance, breadth of menu, and market opportunity, we expect our 2025 revenue to meet or exceed our long-term objective of 20% sustainable growth.”
Key highlights for the third quarter:
- Revenue of $23.3 million, an increase of 21% over prior year period, or 27% when adjusted for a one-time backlog of Select mdx revenue in Q3 of last year following the finalization of Medicare coverage
- Tissue-based (Confirm mdx and GPS) test volume of 10,767, an increase of 36% over prior year period
- Liquid-based (Select mdx, Resolve mdx, Germline) test volume of 12,028, an increase of 24% over prior year period
- Strengthened our balance sheet with gross proceeds of $40 million through an equity offering in September 2024, or $44 million on a pro-forma basis, adjusted for the October overallotment option detailed below
- Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, of $49.3 million, or $53.5 million on a pro-forma basis, adjusted for the October overallotment.

Results for the three months ended September 30, 2024
Revenue increased 21% to $23.3 million compared to $19.3 million for the prior year. Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was comprised of 80% from tissue-based tests.
Gross profit increased 14% to $14.3 million compared to $12.6 million for the prior year. Gross margins were 61.2% as compared to 64.9% for the prior year, a decline of 370 basis points attributed to product mix as well as a backlog of Select mdx Medicare cases that were recognized in the third quarter of last year.
Operating loss increased 34% to $6.1 million compared to $4.6 million for the prior year, driven by timing of clinical study expenses, GPS laboratory transition, backlog of Select mdx revenue of approximately $1 million in Q3 of last year, as well as sales incentive compensation associated with the unit and revenue growth.
Net loss increased 11% to $11.2 million compared to $10.0 million for the prior year, for the reasons stated above.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024
Revenue increased 29% to $65.3 million compared to $50.8 million for the prior year. Revenue for the nine-month period was comprised of 80% from tissue-based tests.
Gross profit increased 27% to $39.6 million compared to $31.3 million for the prior year. Gross margins were 60.7% as compared to 61.5% for the prior year, a decline of 90 basis points for the same reasons noted above.
Operating loss decreased 4% to $20.1 million compared to $21.0 million for the prior year, driven by higher revenues.
Net loss decreased 4% to $31.2 million compared to $32.4 million for the prior year, primarily driven by the factors mentioned above. Net loss included one-time debt extinguishment costs of $3.1 million as a result of refinancing the Innovatus debt with the new OrbiMed facility. Excluding the debt extinguishment costs, net loss would have been $28.1 million, a reduction of 13% versus prior year.
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, were $49.3 million, which include net proceeds of $37.8 million from the recent financing. On October 28, 2024, the underwriters of our September offering exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 2,209,241 shares, providing mdxhealth with an additional $4.2 million in net proceeds. This brings pro-forma September 30, 2024 cash balance to $53.5 million.
