Why Is Harmony Biosciences (HRMY) Up 12.1% Since Last Earnings Report?
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY). Shares have added about 12.1% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500. Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Harmony Biosciences due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late. HRMY Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates on Strong Wakix Sales Harmony Biosciences Holdings reported second-quarter 2026 earnings of $1.28 per share, up from 68 cents in the year-ago quarter. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents. Quarterly revenues rose 30% year over year to $261.28 million and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $253 million. Growth was driven by sustained demand for lead drug, Wakix (pitolisant), with the estimated average patient count increasing by 450 sequentially to 8,950. HRMY Q2 Cost Analysis Cost of products sold represented 24.2% of product revenues compared with 19% in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to new royalties tied to the Novitium license agreement. Research and development expenses declined 7.1% to $46.6 million, reflecting the absence of a $15-million CiRC upfront payment recorded a year ago. Sales and marketing expenses increased 13.5% to $34.1 million due to the expansion of field-based teams. General and administrative expenses decreased 17.3% to $28.1 million due to a charge related to an ANDA settlement in the second quarter of 2025. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $962.5 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $882.5 million as of 2025-end. Harmony Pipeline Updates Highlight BP-205 In April 2024, the company expanded into orexin-based therapies through a sublicense agreement with Bioprojet for BP-205, an investigational orexin-2 receptor agonist being developed for narcolepsy and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The agreement grants exclusive rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize BP-205 in the United States and Latin America. Harmony reported favorable phase I single-ascending-dose data for BP-205, its orexin-2 receptor agonist. The candidate demonstrated a short time to maximum plasma concentration (30-75 minutes) and a mean ha…Read full documentShow less

Harmony Pipeline Updates Highlight BP-205 In April 2024, the company expanded into orexin-based therapies through a sublicense agreement with Bioprojet for BP-205, an investigational orexin-2 receptor agonist being developed for narcolepsy and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The agreement grants exclusive rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize BP-205 in the United States and Latin America. Harmony reported favorable phase I single-ascending-dose data for BP-205, its orexin-2 receptor agonist. The candidate demonstrated a short time to maximum plasma concentration (30-75 minutes) and a mean half-life of approximately 25 hours, supporting the potential for rapid onset and once-daily dosing. Exposure increased proportionally across the tested doses. BP-205 was generally safe and well tolerated, with no serious or severe treatment-emergent adverse events. Multiple-ascending-dose data in healthy volunteers are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. Harmony also plans to begin a phase Ib study in sleep-deprived healthy volunteers during the third quarter, with data expected in early 2027. Phase II studies across multiple central nervous system indications are scheduled to begin in mid-2027. HRMY Advances Pitolisant and Epilepsy Assets The FDA accepted the new drug application for pitolisant GR, assigning a target action date of April 1, 2027. The gastro-resistant formulation is designed to reduce gastrointestinal side effects and allow patients to begin treatment at a therapeutic dose without titration. Harmony is pursuing label expansion opportunities for pitolisant beyond narcolepsy, targeting rare neurological disorders such as Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). Phase III ONSTRIDE studies of high-dose pitolisant in narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia remain underway, with top-line data expected in 2027. Top-line results are expected in mid-2027. The company is conducting the phase III TEMPO study in PWS, supported by FDA alignment, which has the potential to serve as the registrational trial and support the company’s efforts to seek pediatric exclusivity for pitolisant. The FDA granted Orphan Drug designation to pitolisant for the treatment of PWS in 2024. The company also strengthened its rare epilepsy pipeline by acquiring Epygenix Therapeutics, gaining exclusive rights to develop EPX-100 (clemizole hydrochloride) for Dravet syndrome (DS) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).EPX-100 is being evaluated in the phase III LIGHTHOUSE study for LGS and the ARGUS study for DS. Top-line results from both rare-epilepsy programs are expected in the first half of 2027, with potential regulatory action targeted for 2028. Harmony Reiterates 2026 Revenue Outlook Harmony reaffirmed its 2026 Wakix net revenue guidance of $1 billion to $1.04 billion. Wakix net product revenues rose 21% sequentially in the second quarter, reflecting a rebound from the seasonal market-access headwinds that affected patient starts during the first quarter. Management expects patient growth to continue steadily through the second half of the year, supported by the expanded commercial infrastructure. The average patient increase was the second highest in the product’s seven-year commercial history. Four of the past five quarters generated more than 400 patient additions, indicating steady demand within the narcolepsy market. Management attributed the strong performance to Wakix’s position as the only non-scheduled treatment option for narcolepsy. The product has payer coverage for more than 80% of covered lives and is used both as a standalone therapy and in combination with other narcolepsy therapies. It turns out, estimates revision have trended upward during the past month.

Myriad Genetics Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Myriad Genetics, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Myriad Genetics’ second-quarter revenue fell 11% to $190.7 million, pressured by lower test volumes, reduced reimbursement and a 9% decline in revenue per test. The company reported a $16.9 million adjusted EBITDA loss and a $0.25 adjusted loss per share. The company cut 2026 revenue guidance to $770 million–$790 million and gross-margin guidance to 66%–67%, while suspending adjusted EBITDA guidance. Management cited prenatal weakness, hereditary-cancer reimbursement pressure and uncertainty around its efficiency initiatives. Myriad launched reimbursement and organizational-efficiency programs, including AI-enabled revenue-cycle tools and the Ascend initiative. Product development continued with Prolaris + AI, expanded Precise MRD availability and the FirstGene prenatal screening launch, while Cancer Care and mental-health test volumes increased. Myriad Genetics Sees Stock Surge with Hereditary Cancer Tests Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ:MYGN) reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $190.7 million, down 11% from a year earlier, as a 1% decline in total test volume and a 9% decrease in revenue per test weighed on results. The company lowered its full-year revenue and gross-margin outlook and suspended adjusted EBITDA guidance amid reimbursement pressure and uncertainty surrounding a broad organizational efficiency initiative. Chief Executive Officer Sam Raha said the quarter included solid demand in the company’s Cancer Care Continuum and mental health portfolios, where test volumes rose 6% and 4%, respectively. Those gains were offset by a 9% decline in prenatal testing volume. → Why SK hynix Could Be the Best AI Chip Stock to Buy Now Exact Sciences Serves Investors Exactly What They Wished For Average revenue per test was affected by approximately $11 million of lower-than-expected prior-period collections, including a $4 million write-off of aged receivables.

Management expects third-quarter revenue to be flat to slightly above the second quarter, followed by improvement in the fourth quarter. Myriad suspended its adjusted EBITDA guidance because the timing and financial effects of its initiatives remain uncertain. The company posted an adjusted EBITDA loss of $16.9 million in the second quarter and an adjusted loss per share of $0.25. → Carrier Earnings Could Send the Stock to a New All-Time High Gross margin was 66.6%, down about 460 basis points year over year. Excluding the $11 million impact from revenue changes in estimate, gross margin would have been 68.4%, Wheeler said. The company ended the quarter with approximately $190 million in available liquidity. Raha said payer-related revenue-cycle friction became more aggressive during the quarter, particularly for the MyRisk hereditary cancer panel. The pressure included changing prior-authorization requirements, increased medical-record requests and higher denial rates from a limited number of payers. He said the changes did not reflect shifts in medical policy or the clinical value of the tests. Management said its revised outlook assumes no recovery in average revenue per test from second-quarter levels. Wheeler said reimbursement friction is expected to remain a headwind through the remainder of 2026, although the company does not expect the magnitude of the second-quarter impact to recur. Myriad is implementing revenue-cycle changes intended to improve collections and reduce administrative burdens. These efforts include enhanced coverage verification and prior-authorization workflows, integration with third-party medical-record repositories, and AI-enabled processes for document classification, denial triage, appeals and payer-response management. The company also launched a payer-by-payer market-access initiative for MyRisk, focused on policy engagement, laboratory-benefit-manager collaboration and reimbursement optimization. Separately, Myriad has begun an initiative called Ascend, supported by a professional services firm, to assess the company’s organizational structure, operating model and core processes. Raha said the initiative is designed to improve efficiency, productivity and scalability, with meaningful profitability benefits expected in 2027 and beyond. Management is also conducting a portfolio review to determine the optimal allocation of capital and evaluate actions that could improve shareholder value. The company did not provide a timetable for either the Ascend initiative or the portfolio review. The Cancer Care Continuum business generated second-quarter revenue of $114.1 million, down 11% year over year. Test volume increased 6%, but average revenue per test declined 15%. Hereditary cancer testing volume increased 8%, while MyRisk volume grew 10%. Brian Donnelly, Myriad’s chief commercial officer, said testing among unaffected patients delivered its strongest quarterly performance in three years. During the quarter, Myriad launched Prolaris + AI, an AI-enhanced prostate cancer test combining molecular, AI, biomarker, germline and genomic insights. Donnelly said early feedback from urologists has been positive, particularly for use in active-surveillance decisions. The company also expanded availability of its Precise MRD test for patients with breast, colorectal and renal cancers and submitted its breast-cancer indication to MolDX for a coverage determination. Myriad said it remains on track for a full commercial launch of Precise MRD in 2027. Donnelly said the company has seen a growing number of clinicians and sites use Precise MRD, including repeat orders from some providers. Myriad is continuing to improve digital ordering capabilities and customer workflows based on feedback from early users. Myriad also said it hired, trained and deployed more than 100 new account executives, primarily for the Cancer Care Continuum portfolio. The company expects those hires to begin contributing more meaningfully to volume growth in 2027 and beyond. Prenatal health revenue was $40 million, down 16% year over year, reflecting a 9% volume decline and an 8% decrease in revenue per test. Donnelly attributed the performance to factors including the timing of the sales-force expansion and competitive dynamics. The company’s dedicated prenatal sales team is now fully staffed. Myriad commercially launched FirstGene during the quarter, offering simultaneous screening of carrier status, fetal single-gene conditions, fetal chromosome status and fetal RHD status in one report. Management said early customer feedback has highlighted the product’s single-gene and RHD components as well as its turnaround-time characteristics. GeneSight, Myriad’s mental health test, generated $36.8 million in revenue, down 3% year over year despite 4% volume growth. The business was affected by the aged-receivables write-off, although management said reimbursement trends in mental health have improved with increased payer coverage and biomarker legislation. GeneSight reached more than 40,000 ordering clinicians during the quarter, a record high for the business. Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ: MYGN) is a molecular diagnostics company that develops and commercializes genetic tests designed to assess an individual's risk for various hereditary conditions and to guide personalized treatment decisions.

Hereditary cancer testing volume grew 8% year-over-year, with MyRisk volume up 10%, driven by strong demand in the unaffected population, which saw its highest quarterly volume in three years.

Myriad Genetics Inc (NASDAQ:MYGN) successfully hired, trained, and placed over 100 new account executives to support cancer care continuum offerings, expected to drive volume growth in 2027 and beyond. The company launched FirstGene, a differentiated prenatal test offering simultaneous screening for carrier status, fetal single gene, chromosome, and RHD status, with positive early feedback and a competitive turnaround time. Mental health testing (GeneSight) saw record-high ordering provider base exceeding 40,000 clinicians, with improving reimbursement trends aided by biomarker legislation. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with approximately $190 million in available capital, providing financial flexibility to execute strategic priorities. Myriad Genetics Inc (NASDAQ:MYGN) is advancing initiatives like the Ascend organizational efficiency program and a rigorous portfolio review, which are expected to materially improve profitability in 2027 and beyond. Myriad Genetics Inc (NASDAQ:MYGN) reported a significant 11% year-over-year decline in total revenue for Q2 2026, with a 9% drop in average revenue per test. The company faced elevated payer friction, including higher denial rates and prior authorization requirements, leading to an $11 million headwind from lower prior-period collections and a $4 million write-off of aged receivables. Prenatal health revenue declined 16% year-over-year, with volume down 9%, reflecting competitive dynamics and slower-than-expected progress in this segment. The company lowered its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $770-$790 million, a $90 million reduction from prior outlook, and suspended its adjusted EBITDA guidance due to uncertainty. Average revenue per test for hereditary cancer testing declined 15% year-over-year in the cancer care continuum, with continued reimbursement pressure expected through the second half of 2026. The company reported an adjusted EPS loss of $0.25 for the quarter, reflecting softer revenue and stable operating expenses amid ongoing investments. Myriad Genetics Inc (NASDAQ:MYGN) acknowledged that it should have engaged earlier with payers to mitigate reimbursement issues, indicating a reactive approach to evolving conditions. The revised guidance assumes no improvement in average revenue per test from Q2 levels and no contribution from commercial team expansion or new product launches, reflecting a conservative outlook. Q: What are the key factors behind the lowered 2026 revenue guidance, and what are the assumptions for the second half of the year? A: Ben Wheeler (CFO) explained that the revised guidance to $770-$790 million reflects three primary factors: weaker prenatal volume trends, lower-than-expected hereditary cancer reimbursement levels, and the final resolution of the HCT aged receivables. The guidance assumes second-half revenue will be approximately in line with the first half, with Q3 flat to slightly higher than Q2 and improvement in Q4. It also assumes no contribution from commercial team expansion or recent product launches. Q: Can you provide more detail on the hereditary cancer testing reimbursement pressure and the specific action plan to mitigate it? A: Sam Raha (CEO) detailed that the pressure stems from payer-initiated revenue cycle friction, including changing prior authorization requirements, more medical record requests, and higher denial ratesnot changes in medical policy. The company is taking immediate actions: optimizing the end-to-end revenue cycle process, enhancing front-end coverage verification, integrating third-party medical record repositories, deploying AI-enabled workflows, and engaging in a policy-based approach with payers. The company believes many payer practices create unnecessary administrative burden and is pursuing industry organizations and policymakers to address these issues. Q: What is the "Ascend" initiative, and what impact is it expected to have on the company's profitability? A: Sam Raha (CEO) announced the activation of "Ascend," an initiative supported by a leading professional services firm to increase organizational efficiency, productivity, and scalability. The initiative is expected to produce meaningful, measurable benefits to profitability, including adjusted EBITDA, in 2027 and beyond. Due to uncertainty regarding the timing and impact of this initiative, the company has suspended its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance. Q: How is the company's portfolio review progressing, and what is the expected outcome? A: Ben Wheeler (CFO) stated that the company is conducting a rigorous portfolio review to ensure capital is deployed to the highest value opportunities and to maximize long-term shareholder value. This review, combined with the Ascend initiative and reimbursement performance improvements, is intended to simplify the business, improve execution, and enhance scalability. The company is confident these initiatives can have a material positive impact in 2027 and beyond, though no timeline has been provided. Q: What are the latest developments with the new product launches, particularly Prolaris Plus AI and Precise MRD? A: Brian Donnelly (CCO) reported that Prolaris Plus AI, launched at the end of Q2, has received positive early customer feedback, particularly for supporting decisions in the active surveillance segment. For Precise MRD, the company has moved into expanded availability for breast, colorectal, and renal cancers. Early access sites are providing actionable feedback, with growing clinician adoption and repeat orders. The MRD assay has performed well operationally, and the company remains on track for a full commercial launch in 2027, with a MolDx submission completed for the breast indication. Q: Can you elaborate on the performance of the prenatal health business and the launch of FirstGene? A: Brian Donnelly (CCO) noted that prenatal health revenue declined 16% year-over-year, reflecting a 9% volume decline and an 8% decline in average revenue per test. The company has not made as much progress as expected due to Salesforce expansion timing and competitive dynamics. However, the new dedicated prenatal sales team is now fully staffed. FirstGene, which offers a simultaneous screen of carrier status, fetal single gene, fetal chromosome, and fetal RHD status, launched commercially last week. Early feedback has been positive, particularly regarding the combination of single gene and RHD components and the industry-leading 14-day turnaround time. Q: What are the trends in the mental health (GeneSight) business, and how is the company addressing reimbursement? A: Brian Donnelly (CCO) reported that GeneSight revenue declined 3% year-over-year to $36.8 million, impacted by a $4 million AR write-off, which obscured improving reimbursement trends. Volume grew 4%, and the ordering provider base reached a record high of over 40,000 clinicians. The company is implementing new procedures, such as collecting credit card information at the time of billing, which may offset slight volume growth with improved revenue collection. Sam Raha (CEO) added that the company remains optimistic about the long-term opportunity, supported by biomarker legislation and high NPS scores. Q: How is the company's commercial team expansion progressing, and what impact is expected? A: Brian Donnelly (CCO) confirmed that the company has hired, trained, and placed over 100 new account executives in the field, primarily supporting cancer care continuum products. These new sales team members are expected to begin driving increased volume meaningfully in 2027 and beyond. The company is also seeing healthy cross-selling opportunities, with oncology sales teams promoting both MyRisk and Precise MRD to community-based oncologists and urologists. Q: What is the company's outlook on average revenue per test (ARPT) trends for the remainder of 2026? A: Ben Wheeler (CFO) stated that the company expects reimbursement friction to remain a headwind through the balance of 2026, and this has been incorporated into the revised revenue guidance. However, the company does not expect the magnitude of the Q2 impact to repeat. The updated guidance assumes no improvement in average revenue per test from Q2 levels. Sam Raha (CEO) added that even under scenarios with additional ARPT pressure, HCT remains a highly profitable business with attractive margins and strong cash generation.

Myriad: Q2 Earnings Snapshot

SALT LAKE CITY, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc.

We are also doing a rigorous evaluation of our product portfolio to determine the optimal allocation of capital and enhancement of shareholder value.” “Myriad Genetics' second quarter 2026 performance fell short of our expectations, as solid demand for our Hereditary Cancer and Mental Health tests was offset by volume challenges in Prenatal Health and increased payer friction. Mitigating average revenue per test pressure for hereditary cancer testing from this increased payer friction is a top priority, and we are executing a comprehensive action plan. The combination of these developments and the first full quarter of increased costs associated with our expanded commercial team yielded pressure on our bottom line in the quarter. While we are revising our full-year 2026 financial guidance due to lower Prenatal Health test volumes and more conservative assumptions regarding average revenue per test, we remain optimistic about our 2027 financial profile as we execute on multiple initiatives." Financial and Operational Highlights Test volumes of 379,000 in the second quarter of 2026 were relatively stable year-over-year. Second quarter of 2026 average revenue per test decreased 9% year-over-year, in part reflecting an $11.0 million reduction to revenue resulting from changes in estimates of cash collections for tests for which the performance obligation had been satisfied in prior periods. The following table summarizes year-over-year testing volume changes in the company's core product categories: The following table summarizes year-over-year revenue changes in the company's core product categories: Product Categories: Cancer Care Continuum – MyRisk, BRACAnalysis CDx, MyChoice CDx, Prolaris + AI, Precise Tumor, Precise MRD Prenatal Health – Foresight, Prequel, FirstGene, SneakPeekMental Health – GeneSight Second quarter 2026 gross margin was 66.6%, down 460 basis points from the second quarter 2025. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were $165.9 million compared to $481.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. The 2025 period included non-cash impairment charges of $316.7 million due primarily to a decline in Myriad Genetics' market capitalization during the first six months of 2025. Adjusted operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 increased $6.7 million year-over-year to $150.5 million, reflecting the company's multi-year investment in key strategic areas. Operating loss in the second quarter of 2026 was $38.9 million. Cash Flow and Liquidity Second quarter 2026 cash flow used in operations was $8.3 million and adjusted operating cash outflow in the second quarter of 2026 was $7.7 million. Capital expenditures and capitalization of internal-use software costs totaled $3.2 million in the second quarter 2026 resulting in adjusted free cash flow of $(10.9) million in the second quarter of 2026. As of the end of the second quarter of 2026, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $115.2 million. Business Performance and Highlights Cancer Care Continuum The Cancer Care Continuum business delivered revenue of $114.1 million in the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter 2026 hereditary cancer testing revenue decreased 13% year-over-year due to decreases in reimbursement and unfavorable changes in estimates associated primarily with orders from the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by an 8% year-over-year increase in volume. Myriad Genetics launched Prolaris + AI, its first AI-enabled prostate cancer test, in partnership with PATHOMIQ. Myriad Genetics expanded availability of Precise MRD, broadening availability to patients undergoing treatment and surveillance for breast, colorectal and renal cancers. Results from the prospective, 949 sample, multi-center MONITOR-Breast study were published in Future Oncology, which the company believes further supports the clinical validity of Precise MRD in breast cancer. The study, which covered patients with Stage I–III breast cancer across all molecular subtypes, reported that ultrasensitive ctDNA monitoring during neoadjuvant therapy provided real-time insight into treatment response and helped identify patients at increased risk for residual disease. The company shared data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting underscoring Myriad Genetics' commitment to the Cancer Care Continuum and highlighting its progress in precision oncology. Multiple presentations showcased the prognostic power of Myriad Genetics' ultrasensitive MRD assay, including several presentations that reported interim outcomes from the MONSTAR-SCREEN-3 study, led by Dr. Takayuki Yoshino, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Japan. Other presentations focused on ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and sarcoma also demonstrated the emerging clinical utility of ctDNA as a biomarker of recurrence and therapy response. The company believes this data reinforces the scientific strength behind the company's precision oncology programs and focus on advancing clinically meaningful innovations for patients and providers. In July 2026, Myriad Genetics submitted a request to the Molecular Diagnostics Program (MolDX), administered by Palmetto GBA, a Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), for a Local Coverage Determination (LCD) to establish Medicare coverage of its Precise MRD test for breast cancer patients. In July 2026, Myriad Genetics announced newly published data from the largest individual-patient-data meta-analysis of Prolaris to date, involving 14 studies and more than 8,000 patients, which the company believes shows that the Prolaris Biopsy Test adds significant prognostic information beyond conventional clinical risk categories for patients with localized prostate cancer. Prenatal Health The Prenatal Health business delivered revenue of $39.8 million in the second quarter of 2026. Prenatal testing revenue in the second quarter of 2026 declined 16% year-over-year, as volume decreased 9% year-over-year. The multi-site CONNECTOR study, using the company's FirstGene Multiple Prenatal Screen, continues to see progress in enrollment and the company expects this study, if successful, to support future commercial launch activities and expand capabilities in prenatal testing. In July 2026, Myriad Genetics launched the FirstGene Multiple Prenatal Screen, which includes four prenatal genetic screens from a single draw of blood as early as eight weeks gestation. With this launch, Myriad Genetics offers a comprehensive prenatal screening portfolio helping clinicians deliver the right product to the right patient at the right time. Mental Health GeneSight test revenue was $36.8 million in the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter 2026 revenue decreased 3% year-over-year reflecting 4% year-over-year GeneSight volume growth offset by a 6% year-over-year decline in average revenue per test, which reflects a write-off of aged receivables in the quarter. Financial Guidance Myriad Genetics does not provide forward-looking guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for the measures on which it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are dependent on various factors, are out of the company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, strategic realignment, costs related to amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, impairment and related charges, depreciation, equity compensation, tax benefits, and other adjustments. For example, stock-based compensation may fluctuate based on the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in the company's stock price. Any associated estimate of these items and their impact on GAAP performance could vary materially. Below is a table summarizing Myriad Genetics' full-year 2026 financial guidance*: As a result of second quarter 2026 performance and strategic initiatives that are underway, Myriad Genetics is suspending its previous full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance and is providing full-year 2026 financial guidance only with respect to Revenue and Adjusted Gross Margin % as set forth above. These projections are forward-looking statements and are subject to the risks summarized in the safe harbor statement at the end of this press release.

Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ:MYGN) Reports Sales Below Analyst Estimates In Q2 CY2026 Earnings, Stock Drops 28.6%
Genetic testing company Myriad Genetics (NASDAQ:MYGN) fell short of the market’s revenue expectations in Q2 CY2026, with sales falling 10.5% year on year to $190.7 million. The company’s full-year revenue guidance of $780 million at the midpoint came in 9.7% below analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.25 per share was significantly below analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Myriad Genetics? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $190.7 million vs analyst estimates of $207.8 million (10.5% year-on-year decline, 8.2% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.25 vs analyst estimates of -$0.06 (significant miss) Adjusted EBITDA: -$16.9 million vs analyst estimates of $218,040 (-8.9% margin, significant miss) The company dropped its revenue guidance for the full year to $780 million at the midpoint from $870 million, a 10.3% decrease Operating Margin: -20.4%, up from -154% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$11.5 million compared to -$16.4 million in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $476 million “In the second quarter, we continued to make meaningful progress on the Cancer Care Continuum on a number of fronts, including 6% year-over-year volume growth supported by the ramp up of our expanded sales team, the launch of Prolaris + AI, the expansion of Precise MRD to include colorectal cancer (CRC) and renal cancers, along with the submission of Precise MRD breast to MolDX,” said Sam Raha, President and CEO, Myriad Genetics.

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Regrettably, Myriad Genetics’s sales grew at a mediocre 4% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmark for the healthcare sector and is a poor baseline for our analysis. Long-term growth is the most important, but within healthcare, a half-decade historical view may miss new innovations or demand cycles. Myriad Genetics’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its revenue was flat over the last two years. This quarter, Myriad Genetics missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 10.5% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $190.7 million of revenue. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 10.9% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is healthy and implies its newer products and services will catalyze better top-line performance. ONE MORE THING: The $21 AI Application Stock Wall Street Forgot. While Wall Street obsesses over who’s building AI, one company is already using it to print money. And nobody’s paying attention. AI chip stocks trade at ridiculous valuations. This company processes a trillion consumer signals monthly using AI and trades at a third of the price. The gap won’t last. The institutions will figure it out. You need to see this first. Read the FREE Report Before They Notice. Adjusted operating margin is an important measure of profitability as it shows the portion of revenue left after accounting for all core expenses — everything from the cost of goods sold to advertising and wages. It’s also useful for comparing profitability across companies because it excludes non-recurring expenses, interest on debt, and taxes. Myriad Genetics’s high expenses have contributed to an average adjusted operating margin of negative 1.7% over the last five years. Unprofitable healthcare companies require extra attention because they could get caught swimming naked when the tide goes out. It’s hard to trust that the business can endure a full cycle. Looking at the trend in its profitability, Myriad Genetics’s adjusted operating margin decreased by 3.8 percentage points over the last five years. This performance was caused by more recent speed bumps as the company’s margin fell by 5 percentage points on a two-year basis. We’re disappointed in these results because they show its expenses were rising and it couldn’t pass those costs onto its customers. This quarter, Myriad Genetics generated a negative 16.6% adjusted operating margin. The company’s consistent lack of profits raises a flag. We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable. Myriad Genetics’s earnings losses deepened over the last five years as its EPS dropped 7.4% annually. We tend to steer our readers away from companies with falling EPS, where diminishing earnings could imply changing secular trends and preferences. If the tide turns unexpectedly, Myriad Genetics’s low margin of safety could leave its stock price susceptible to large downswings. In Q2, Myriad Genetics reported adjusted EPS of negative $0.25, down from $0.05 in the same quarter last year. This print missed analysts’ estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street is optimistic. Analysts forecast Myriad Genetics’s full-year EPS will flip from negative $0.30 to positive $0.18. We struggled to find many positives in these results. Its full-year revenue guidance missed and its revenue fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this quarter could have been better. The stock traded down 28.6% to $3.84 immediately after reporting. The latest quarter from Myriad Genetics’s wasn’t that good. One earnings report doesn’t define a company’s quality, though, so let’s explore whether the stock is a buy at the current price. We think that the latest quarter is just one piece of the longer-term business quality puzzle. Quality, when combined with valuation, can help determine if the stock is a buy.

I'll now turn the call over to Sam.
Thanks, Matt. Good afternoon, everyone, thank you for joining us. Let me dive right into our second quarter performance and key actions we're taking to create a more focused business and can drive accelerated growth and profitability as we go forward. Second quarter total revenue of $190.7 million was down 11% year-over-year, as volume decreased 1% and revenue per test decreased 9%. Demand for our Cancer Care Continuum and mental health test portfolios remained solid, with test volume growing 6% and 4% year-over-year respectively. This growth was offset by continued softness in our prenatal testing volume, which declined 9% over last year's period.
Regarding the 9% year-over-year decline in average revenue per test, it is important to call out that this figure included a headwind of approximately $11 million from lower than expected prior period collections, which includes a $4 million write-off of aged receivables. Excluding this headwind, average revenue per test was down 3% year-over-year and reflects elevated payer friction for our prenatal and hereditary cancer tests in 2026. Mitigating the HCT average revenue per test pressure is one of our top priorities. We are executing a focused and comprehensive action plan to address it, which both Ben and I will speak more about. We're also doing a rigorous evaluation of our product portfolio to determine the optimal allocation of capital and enhancement of shareholder value, and we'll keep you updated on our progress and decisions.
With regards to our Cancer Care Continuum business, we continue to make meaningful progress on a number of fronts. Q2 MyRisk volume remained strong, with 10% growth year-on-year, and we achieved a number of pipeline milestones, including the launch of our first AI-enhanced prostate cancer test, Prolaris + AI. We also took important steps forward with our Precise MRD Test by expanding clinical testing availability to colorectal and renal cancers and submitting Precise MRD for breast cancer to MolDX for coverage determination. These achievements are on track with our stated plans and bolster our confidence in our longer-term growth aspirations. As hereditary cancer and other molecular diagnostic testing continues to grow, pressures on reimbursement rates is expected to persist. As a result, we have activated an initiative called Ascend to increase organizational efficiency, productivity, and scalability and are being supported by a leading professional services firm.
We anticipate this initiative will produce meaningful, measurable benefits to profitability, including adjusted EBITDA in 2027 and beyond. Lastly, we are lowering our 2026 revenue and gross margin guidance. Total revenue guidance moves to $770 million-$790 million. Gross margin moves to 66%-67%. This updated guidance reflects the Q2 performance and lower volume assumptions for prenatal health and lower HCT average revenue per test. However, due to uncertainty regarding the timing and impact from the Ascend initiative, we're suspending our adjusted EBITDA guidance. As I mentioned, we're experiencing elevated reimbursement pressure, which is impacting the average revenue per test for our MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test. This pressure is coming from changing prior authorization requirements, more medical record requests, and higher overall payer denial rates.
This type of payer-generated revenue cycle friction, while not new, became more aggressive in the quarter and resulted in a step-down in realized average revenue per test. Importantly, this reimbursement pressure is not the result of changes in medical policy. It is payer-initiated revenue cycle friction, and we're seeing similar dynamics across the broader healthcare system as payers cite automated denials as a mechanism to manage plan utilization and lower their reimbursement costs. The impact is from a limited number of payers. As we deeply analyze the situation, we have determined that we should have engaged earlier and more directly with payers as conditions evolved. Earlier intervention could have reduced the downstream impact. Mitigating HCP reimbursement pressure from these limited payers and anticipating other potential pressures is one of our top priorities. To that end, we're taking a number of immediate actions.
We're optimizing the end-to-end revenue cycle process. This includes enhancing front-end coverage verification and prior authorization workflows, increasing alignment of services with payer expectations, and integrating third-party medical record repositories into our workflows to automate responses to documentation requests and the associated claim appeals. We're increasing utilization of AI by deploying AI-enabled workflows for reducing manual touches and accelerating claim resolution. We are engaging in a policy-based approach to better align medical policy with clinical practices and utilization of our services. The facts are we have received orders for clinicians for medically necessary tests. We have processed patient samples and returned test results, which have been used to inform the care of those patients. The content of these tests are supported by NCCN and ASCO guidelines, yet we are not receiving payment in a timely manner.
We believe that many of these payer practices create unnecessary administrative burden, are inconsistent with the timely reimbursement of medically necessary testing, and ultimately could negatively impact member or patient care. Individually, as Myriad, we're going to do a better job of initiating engagement with our key payer constituencies on a regular basis. We will continue to pursue other pathways to resolve these issues, including working with industry organizations, policymakers, and payers to reduce unnecessary barriers and improve transparency in laboratory benefit management processes. In addition to all of these noted activities, we will continue to advance our work to reduce COGS for MyRisk. The Ascend initiative will reduce the OpEx related to revenue cycle management over time.
Importantly for our stakeholders, even under scenarios where average revenue per test experiences additional pressure, HCT remains a highly profitable business with attractive margins, strong cash generation, and significant long-term growth opportunities. I would call out that our updated 2026 financial guidance assumes no improvement in average revenue per test from the second quarter level. Let me transition now to providing an update on key 2026 milestones. We presented this slide last quarter, and you'll notice a number of new check marks representing further progress and achievements made since our Q1 call, including key clinical publications, the MolDX submission, and Precise MRD for breast cancer, and recent launches. These actions strengthen Myriad's ability to serve cancer care testing and support our long-term growth profile.
We continue to drive solid volume growth in hereditary cancer testing, which is enabled by a combination of our strong market position, commercial execution, and ongoing commitment to clinically relevant innovation. We're encouraged with the feedback on Precise MRD as we transition to early access from alpha launch. We continue to expand the number of sites and invest in the commercial team and its capabilities ahead of full launch in 2027. Brian will share more on this. In June, we launched our AI-enhanced Prolaris prostate cancer test that combines the power of molecular and AI analysis and early urologist interest and input has been positive. Last week, we successfully executed the commercial launch of FirstGene. These milestones and new products, along with the expanding customer reach, will enable us to accelerate growth in the quarters ahead.
The initiatives and actions we are working on will ensure that we are able to increase focus on our most important near and long-term strategic opportunity: serving the Cancer Care Continuum. The expected impact from the combination of implementing the Ascend organizational initiative to increase efficiency and scalability, mitigating the impact on MyRisk average revenue per test, and any actions that may stem from the rigorous evaluation of our product portfolio is a stronger company with changes to our structure performance going forward. A company with strengthened growth rate, profitability, and predictability. Let me turn it over to Brian Donnelly, our Chief Commercial Officer. Brian.
Thanks, Sam. Good afternoon. Before diving into the quarter, I wanted to begin with a progress update on the sales onboarding activities we discussed last quarter. I'm happy to share that we have now hired, trained, and placed in the field over 100 new account executives, primarily supporting our Cancer Care Continuum product offerings. These new sales team members are expected to begin driving increased volume across the Cancer Care Continuum meaningfully in 2027 and beyond. Turning to second quarter performance. In Q2, the Cancer Care Continuum product category generated revenue of $114.1 million, down 11% year-over-year, reflecting test volume growth of 6% being offset by a 15% decline in average revenue per test. Importantly, hereditary cancer testing volume grew 8% year-over-year, with MyRisk test volume growth of 10% year-over-year.
Volume growth in the unaffected population was stronger than the affected segment, which we see as an important indicator for future demand. In fact, we delivered our strongest quarterly performance in unaffected hereditary cancer testing in Q2, marking the highest volume recorded in the last three years. Moving to prostate cancer. We successfully launched our first AI-enabled Prolaris test at the end of Q2, bringing together AI, biomarker, germline, and genomic insights in a single offering. This combination's differentiated and positions us to compete more effectively in prostate cancer patient care. Early customer feedback has been positive. Particularly as a useful tool to support critical decisions in patients in the important active surveillance segment. We have been investing in the commercial channel and other programs in preparation for this launch to improve our overall performance and gain market share.
Turning to Precise MRD, I wanted to highlight the great progress that our team is making. In June, we announced moving out of early access and into expanded availability of Precise MRD, broadening access to patients undergoing treatment and surveillance with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and renal cancer. Early access sites and new customers are engaged and continue to provide us actionable feedback. We are closely monitoring testing utilization, customer experience, and our internal operational efficiency. While it's early in the program, let me share some key takeaways. First, we continue to serve more clinicians, and a growing number have ordered tests for multiple patients. Next, in terms of customer experience, clinicians have been satisfied with the quality of our test. We continue to work on making test ordering easier and to improve the overall customer experience as we move forward with our expanded launch phases.
Finally, in terms of operational efficiency, our MRD assay itself has proven to be robust and has performed extremely well. Our commercial and medical affairs teams are actively ramping, and we remain on track for commercial launch in 2027. In addition, we have submitted to MolDX for our breast indication, hitting a major milestone on time with the intent of establishing coverage in 2027. Now moving to our prenatal health business. In Q2, the prenatal health business generated revenue of $40 million, down 16% year-over-year, reflecting a decline of 8% in average revenue per test, while volume declined 9%. Unfortunately, we have not made as much progress as expected in this business, reflecting a combination of factors, including the timing of sales force expansion and competitive dynamics.
The good news is that our new dedicated prenatal health sales team is now fully staffed. We anticipate improved prenatal performance will in part be driven by FirstGene, which launched just last week. As a reminder, the FirstGene screen offers the first and only simultaneous screen of patient carrier status, fetal single gene, fetal chromosome, and fetal RHD status, all delivered collectively in a single integrated report with the test able to be taken at an industry-leading eight-week gestational age, and with an industry-leading turnaround time with all results delivered within 14 days. Since our last earnings call, we have made significant strides in FirstGene, including wrapping up our early access period, training our entire sales organization. Just last week, we officially moved into our commercial launch phase.
Although we are very early into launch, we have and continue to receive positive feedback on the product differentiators, including the value of the combination, particularly the single gene and RHD components, and our turnaround time advantages compared to on-market products, which is a direct result of our assay design and workflow. We are already seeing orders and customers returning to Myriad to trial this new offering. Now turning to mental health. In the second quarter, GeneSight generated $36.8 million in revenue, down 3% year-over-year on 4% volume growth. As Sam mentioned earlier, revenue was impacted by an AR write-off. This write-off obscures the overall improving reimbursement trends in mental health that are due to increased payer coverage and aided by biomarker legislation. We continue to expand the ordering provider base, reaching now over 40,000 ordering clinicians in the second quarter, which is another record high.
The strong second quarter volume growth reflects solid underlying demand in sales performance. We remain disciplined with a strong focus on capital efficiency while delivering growth with GeneSight. With that, I will turn it over to our CFO, Ben Wheeler.
Thanks, Brian. Let me start by reviewing our second quarter financial results. We reported revenue of $190.7 million, down 11% year-over-year. Overall test volumes declined slightly with the prior year period as continued strength in hereditary cancer and mental health was offset by prenatal health. It's worth repeating that we generated another quarter of solid test volume growth in MyRisk testing, with 10% year-over-year growth in the second quarter. That growth was driven by continued strength in our unaffected market, where demand and execution remained strong. The sustained growth we're seeing in both hereditary cancer volumes and GeneSight volumes provide evidence that our commercial initiatives are gaining traction and strengthening the underlying business.
Average revenue per test decreased 9% year-over-year, reflecting a challenging comparison with prior period positive change in estimate contributions to revenue and increasing payer friction this quarter, most noticeable in our Cancer Care Continuum. As Sam mentioned, generally improving reimbursement trends for mental health were offset by a $4 million write-off of aged receivables during the quarter. While average revenue per test can fluctuate in any particular quarter due to a number of variables, we continue to expect modest headwinds to hereditary cancer average revenue per test over the longer term, consistent with our prior commentary. We generated gross margins of 66.6% in the second quarter, down approximately 460 basis points year-over-year. The decline reflects average revenue per test softness and the unfavorable change in estimate impact to revenue comparison.
Gross margins excluding the $11 million impact to revenue from changes in estimate during the quarter were 68.4%. Our laboratory operations continue to perform at a high level, reflecting strong operational discipline and efficiency. We remain focused on driving additional scale, automation, and productivity across our laboratories to support both our existing portfolio and planned product launches in 2026 and beyond. Over time, we expect continued cost per test improvements to help offset modest reimbursement pressures and support gross margins that remain among the strongest in the industry. Adjusted operating expenses increased by $6.7 million year-over-year, reflecting targeted investment to strengthen commercial capabilities, execution, and advance key R&D growth initiatives that support our long-term strategy. Our capital allocation philosophy remains unchanged. We will continue to prioritize investments with the highest expected returns while maintaining a strong focus on operational efficiency and shareholder value creation.
Taking all of that into account, we generated an adjusted EPS loss of $0.25 for the quarter. We remain comfortable with our liquidity position, ending Q2 with approximately $190 million of available liquidity, providing the financial flexibility to execute our strategic priorities while navigating the current operating environment. As Sam highlighted, we're advancing multiple important initiatives that have the potential to significantly strengthen Myriad's operating model and meaningfully accelerate Myriad's ability to achieve its strategic and financial objectives. First, we're conducting a rigorous portfolio review to ensure capital is deployed to the highest value opportunities and to maximize long-term shareholder value. We'll provide updates as appropriate. Second, and complementary to the first, we've engaged a leading professional services firm to conduct a comprehensive review of Myriad's organizational structure, operating model, and core business processes.
This initiative is intended to simplify the business, improve execution, enhance scalability, and better align our resources with our most strategic priorities. Third, we've launched initiatives to strengthen reimbursement performance, which I'll speak about in a moment. Together, these initiatives represent important steps in unlocking the value of Myriad's portfolio, improving operational performance, and positioning the company to deliver stronger long-term growth and profitability. At this stage, we're not providing a timeline for these initiatives as they each involve a number of variables. What we can say is that we are confident that the outcome from each initiative can have a material positive impact to Myriad in 2027 and beyond. That said, given the uncertainty surrounding timing and potential financial impact of these initiatives, we believe it prudent to suspend our 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance at this time.
Second quarter average revenue per test declined year-over-year across the portfolio. As we've noted in the past, we caution investors against simply extrapolating a single quarter's results. Accordingly, this slide provides a four-year history of quarterly average revenue per test trends for hereditary cancer testing. During 2026, payers continued to introduce new reimbursement requirements and modify existing prior authorization and clinical documentation expectations. In the second quarter, we experienced lower reimbursement from a limited number of payers for our MyRisk panel, contributing to the outsized change in estimate revenue adjustment recognized in the quarter. Importantly, this impact primarily relates to tests performed in Q1 and reflects revenue cycle management friction and administrative complexity, not any change in the underlying clinical value or demand for our testing. In response, we've launched several initiatives to strengthen reimbursement performance and improve long-term predictability. First, our revenue cycle optimization initiative.
In partnership with a leading third-party expert, we're implementing targeted process improvements, AI-enabled workflow acceleration, and enhanced denial management capabilities to reduce reimbursement friction, accelerate claim resolution, and improve collection predictability. This includes automation and workflow enhancements across medical record retrieval, document classification, denial triage, appeal prioritization, and payer response management. Importantly, the initiative is focused not only on near-term performance improvement, but also on building scalable processes, analytics, and organizational capabilities that enable Myriad to rapidly adapt to evolving reimbursement requirements and navigate an increasingly dynamic revenue cycle environment. Second, our MyRisk reimbursement initiative. We've launched a payer-by-payer market access strategy focused on policy engagement, LBM collaboration, and reimbursement optimization to strengthen long-term access and to support sustainable reimbursement for hereditary cancer testing.
The initiative is designed to improve predictability and promote greater alignment between rapidly advancing diagnostic technologies, evolving clinical guidelines, and payer medical policies, which often develop on a different timeline than scientific innovation. The key takeaway is that we expect reimbursement friction to remain a headwind through the balance of 2026 and have incorporated that expectation into our revised revenue guidance. While we anticipate continued pressure in the second half, we do not expect the magnitude of the impact experienced in the second quarter to repeat. Next, I'll speak to Myriad's profitability and liquidity. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $16.9 million, reflecting softer revenue performance and relatively stable adjusted operating expenses as we continue to invest in commercial growth initiatives, including new product launches. We remain in a strong financial position.
We ended the quarter with approximately $190 million in available capital, providing us the flexibility to invest in our strategic priorities and fund key growth opportunities while maintaining appropriate financial discipline. I'll address financial guidance. Factoring in Q2 results and revised assumptions for the second half of 2026, we're lowering our full year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $770 million-$790 million. At the midpoint, this represents a reduction of $90 million from our prior outlook. The revised guidance primarily reflects three factors: weaker prenatal volume trends relative to our prior expectation, lower than expected hereditary cancer reimbursement levels, and final resolution of the GeneSight accounts receivables. Historically, the second half of the year has been stronger than the first half. Our revised outlook takes a more conservative approach and assumes second half revenue is approximately in line with first half performance.
The guidance also assumes no contribution from commercial team expansion initiatives or recent product launches, despite the investments we've made in both areas. As a result, we expect third quarter revenue to be flat to slightly higher than the second quarter, with improvement as we move into the fourth quarter. We believe this outlook appropriately reflects the current operating environment, incorporates prudent assumptions around areas of uncertainty, and positions us to reestablish a consistent track record of execution and delivery going forward. Let me turn the call back to Sam.
Thanks, Ben. Let me conclude our prepared comments by reiterating our confidence in being able to support Myriad's strategic intent to accelerate profitable growth by focusing on the Cancer Care Continuum, and in being able to strengthen the company's financial profile by executing the key initiatives that we outlined. In Q2, we continued to make meaningful progress on the Cancer Care Continuum on a number of fronts, including strong volume growth for our MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test, the launch of Prolaris + AI, the expansion of Precise MRD, along with the submission of Precise MRD Breast to MolDX.
As I stated earlier, the expected impact from the combination of implementing the organizational initiative to increase efficiency and scalability, mitigating the impact on MyRisk average revenue per test, and any actions that may stem from the rigorous evaluation of our product portfolio, is our ability to focus more deeply on serving the Cancer Care Continuum and a resulting streamlined company in 2027 and beyond with strengthened growth rate, profitability, and predictability. I will pass the call over to Matt for Q&A. Matt.
Thanks, Sam. As a reminder, during today's call, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial results and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial guidance can be found in our earnings release and under our investor relations section of our website. We're ready to begin our Q&A session. To ensure broad participation, we're asking participants, please ask only one question and one follow-up. Operator, we're now ready for the Q&A portion of the call.
Thank you. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone. You'll hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To remove yourself from the queue, please press star one one again. We also ask that you wait for your name and company to be announced before proceeding with your question. One moment while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question today will be coming from the line of Kyle Boucher of TD Cowen. Please go ahead.
Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions. Just wanted to start here on some of the updated assumptions in the guidance. I know you walked through it quite a bit, but I guess specifically for the Cancer Care Continuum, hereditary cancer testing business. You grew volume overall in the Cancer Care Continuum 6% in the second quarter against the 7% comp. The volume comparisons get a lot tougher in the back half. I guess, just what's sort of implied for growth in the second half as it relates to just volume versus price?
Yeah, thanks for the question, Kyle. Ben, I'll turn to you.
Thanks, Kyle. Maybe I'll just start at the enterprise level and then I'll give you a little bit of insight relative to the different components. I'll start at revenue for the enterprise, Kyle. The updated guide assumes a 5% decline in revenue year-over-year. The way that we're thinking about that as it relates to the different product categories is that mental health will be modestly up, that the Cancer Care Continuum will be modestly down, and then we'll continue to see prenatal health year-over-year comparisons lag as we work through building volume through the back half of the year.
Got it. Maybe just one more on the GeneSight business. Can you sort of discuss the ordering trends between maybe newer clinician adds that you talked about on the call and then just reorders from existing clinicians? How should we think about the long-term growth of the GeneSight business, just given you've put up mid-single digit sort of volume growth over the last few quarters, down from, I think we saw sort of high single digits last year?
Yeah. Thank you for the question, Kyle. Listen, we remain optimistic and excited about the GeneSight opportunity. As you know, as a backdrop, mental health continues to be a very serious matter in this country and beyond. We have the absolute leading tests in the market With great NPS, very high NPS, both with patients and providers. As Brian shared, we again served a very significant number of providers this quarter. We also think that what we have as a positive is that the activities that we put into action going back a year in terms of how we're targeting, how we're driving marketing and the resulting sales, these things are all working. We have the biomarker bills that are being enacted in more states. All of these things are positive. The volume is actually where we'd expect.
We've always said it would be, well, not always, but coming into the year that we'd expect mid-single digits. That's where it is. We are also trying some new approaches as it relates to billing individuals at time of billing. We do anticipate that the slight, perhaps less volume or growth in volume is going to be offset in revenue as a consequence of some of the new procedures we're putting in place regarding collection of credit card information, for example, at a different time period.
Got it. Thanks, guys.
Thank you. One moment for the next question. Our next question will be coming from the line of David Westenberg of Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.
Hi, guys. This is Sky on for Dave. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just first on the Cancer Care Continuum strategy reimbursement headwinds aside, how are the new products changing customer behavior across each of the segments? Are you seeing any meaningful cross-selling into accounts that maybe only used one Myriad product previously? Thanks.
Brian. Yeah, please take it.
Thanks for the question. I can give you an update on that. First, just as a quick reminder, in terms of the new products we've brought to the market, we've got the Prolaris + AI launch, we've had expansions to MyRisk, and in addition, we've now expanded the availability of Precise MRD. What I would say, one of the components of your question is around portfolio selling. A key piece of the way our organization is structured is when our oncology sales team goes and sees a community-based oncologist, we are making them aware of, as an example, MyRisk and our new Precise MRD offering, and in addition, we have a specialist team around that. We consistently look for opportunities to make sure that our products are known, that for providers who see patients that are relevant, they use the appropriate patients.
In the urology setting for Prolaris + AI, the other offering we have for that customer base is, of course, MyRisk. We see healthy cross-sell, healthy portfolio adoption from our users, and it's something that we try to continue to lean into to make sure that our products are being used for the appropriate patients.
Very helpful. Thank you. Then specifically on Precise MRD, I think last quarter you mentioned you had received feedback on ordering and sample shipment instructions as areas for improvement. Have those changes reduced failed orders or helped turnaround times or sample quality issues? Are there any other operational metrics that you're tracking?
This is Brian again. Thank you for the question. Spot on. As a reminder, we're really focused right now with this expanded availability on breast, renal, and colorectal cancer. The things we discussed last quarter were tracking metrics around test utilization, provider and patient workflows, and customer experience. What we're seeing on test utilization is that we have a growing number of clinics and providers that are using Precise MRD, many with repeat orders. On the utilization front, we're early, but we are turning in the right direction. From a provider and patient workflow perspective, the big change in Q3 has to do with some of our digital ordering capabilities, which have come online. We're actively improving the workflow, expanding these capabilities, and we're taking that feedback to get ready for our fuller commercial launch in 2027. We did get really useful feedback.
We have been incorporating that. Last but not least is the customer experience. This will be an area that we'll likely talk about for a while. This is a really important part of the product offering, and we'll continue to lean in here to expand as we get more and more customer feedback.
Great. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. As a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone. I'm not seeing any more questions in the queue. I would like to turn the call back over to Matt Scalo. Please go ahead.
Okay, thanks, Lisa. This concludes our earnings call. A replay will be available via webcast on our website for one week. Thank you again for joining us this afternoon. Have a great day.
This concludes today's program, and thank you so much for joining. You may now disconnect.

Adjusted operating income was $502 million, or 16.5% of revenue, compared with $466 million, or 16.9% of revenue, last year. Samad said the increase in adjusted operating income reflected organic revenue growth, partially offset by wage increases. → 3 Photonics Companies Making Quantum Tech Possible Exact Sciences Serves Investors Exactly What They Wished For Reported diluted earnings per share were $2.84, compared with $2.47 a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS was $3.12, up from $2.62 in the prior-year period. Samad said the EPS improvement was driven by organic operating performance and the favorable resolution of various tax contingencies, which contributed $0.10 per share in the quarter. Excluding that one-time tax benefit, adjusted EPS grew 15.3%. Quest raised its full-year 2026 revenue and earnings outlook, citing first-half performance and ongoing demand. The company now expects: Revenue of $11.95 billion to $12.05 billion, representing growth of 8.3% to 9.2%. Reported EPS of $9.97 to $10.17. Adjusted EPS of $11.05 to $11.25. Cash from operations of approximately $1.8 billion. Capital expenditures of approximately $550 million. → AeroVironment’s Stock Is Down, But Drone Demand Is Taking Off Samad said the guidance excludes any contribution from prospective mergers and acquisitions. He also noted that Project Nova expenses are unchanged for the full year, but the company now expects increased spending in the second half compared with prior expectations. Higher fuel costs in the second half are also included in the outlook. Despite those pressures, Samad said Quest still expects operating margin to expand versus the prior year. He said the company expects to lap the Corewell and Fresenius impacts in the fourth quarter, reducing their dilutive effect on total operating margins in the second half. Davis said the physician channel delivered high single-digit revenue growth during the quarter, supported by demand for clinical innovations, new customer wins and expanded business with existing customers. He cited growth in geographies where Quest has expanded access through health plans and acquisitions, as well as enterprise accounts focused on prevention and wellness. In hospitals, Davis said revenue grew at a double-digit rate, primarily from co-lab solutions with Corewell Health in Michigan. Reference testing revenue also increased versus both the first quarter and the prior year. During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Davis said the company’s core hospital reference business generated mid-single-digit revenue growth, with slightly higher volume growth. He said same-store sales in co-lab arrangements excluding Corewell also grew at a mid-single-digit rate. Davis said Quest formed a new co-lab agreement during the quarter with a nonprofit regional health system in California. He added that the company has a “strong pipeline” of potential hospital collaborations, hospital outreach acquisitions and independent lab opportunities. In consumer health, Davis said questhealth.com continued to generate “robust revenue growth,” with strong demand for existing wellness panels and new services including thyroid testing. He said the broader consumer business, which includes direct and indirect offerings, was previously sized at about $250 million and is currently growing toward the high end of the company’s 20% to 30% expectation for 2027. Davis said Quest posted double-digit revenue growth across several advanced diagnostic areas, including cardiometabolic testing such as ApoB and Lp(a), liver fibrosis testing and autoimmune testing through the company’s analyzer solution. In brain health, he said the company continued to drive “robust double-digit growth” across its AD-Detect blood tests, including amyloid beta and p-tau biomarkers. In oncology, Davis highlighted New York State approval of the Haystack MRD test, which he said allows Quest to extend commercial efforts to all 50 states. He also said Quest became the largest reference lab to extend access to cancer tests such as Haystack MRD through Flatiron Health’s OncoEMR molecular profiling integration platform. A pilot with American Oncology Network has begun, with plans to roll out to Flatiron’s 4,700 clinicians and other providers nationwide later this year. Davis also discussed operational initiatives, saying Quest remains on track to deliver 3% in annual cost savings and productivity improvements through its Invigorate program. He pointed to expanded use of automation and artificial intelligence, including Hologic’s Genius Digital Diagnostics System for Pap test slide review, front-end specimen processing automation, a web-based collection tool called IntelliDraw and an AI tool intended to reduce the time needed to track and order supplies at patient service centers. Asked about Affordable Care Act exchange-related impacts, Davis said Quest continues to assume a 30-basis-point revenue impact from the expiration of ACA exchange subsidies. He said enrollment declines have not translated into a major business impact, noting that requisition volume in that book is down about 8%, but tests per requisition are up 6%, leaving test volume down about 2% and revenue “relatively flat.” Executives also said they are not seeing deterioration in bad debt trends. Samad said hospital collections remain in line with expectations and that patient concessions, which he said typically hover around 5% of revenue, have not worsened and were slightly improved versus the prior-year quarter. On PAMA, Davis outlined three possible outcomes: new CMS rates following the current data collection process, passage of the RESULTS Act, or another delay. He said Quest supports the RESULTS Act, which he described as a better method for collecting market data through a third-party approach. Davis said the bill has more than 115 co-sponsors and broad support from patient and consumer organizations. If the RESULTS Act passes, he said rates would stay flat for 2027 and 2028, with new rates taking effect in 2029 and annual cuts capped at no more than 5%. Davis closed the call by saying Quest entered the second half with growth momentum and continued demand for lab insights, while remaining focused on its strategy of connecting patients and providers to testing and actionable health information. Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) is a leading provider of diagnostic information services that supports clinical decision-making for patients, physicians and healthcare organizations. The company operates a network of clinical laboratories and patient service centers that perform a broad range of laboratory tests and diagnostic assays used in routine care, disease diagnosis, monitoring and screening.

Myriad Genetics’s Q1 Earnings Call: Our Top 5 Analyst Questions
Myriad Genetics began 2026 with results that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations, as the company posted modest year-over-year sales growth but missed on both revenue and adjusted earnings. Management attributed these results mainly to continued investments in new product launches and an expanded commercial team, as well as ongoing challenges in the prenatal business. CEO Samraat Raha described the quarter as a period of “solid growth of our mental health business” and highlighted double-digit hereditary cancer testing volume gains, but acknowledged the need for improved execution and further operational discipline to deliver on profitability targets. Is now the time to buy MYGN? Find out in our full research report (it’s free). Revenue: $200.4 million vs analyst estimates of $202.3 million (2.3% year-on-year growth, 1% miss) Adjusted EPS: -$0.09 vs analyst expectations of -$0.07 (34.7% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: -$4.5 million vs analyst estimates of $682,830 (-2.2% margin, significant miss) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $870 million at the midpoint EBITDA guidance for the full year is $43 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $39.64 million Operating Margin: -15.3%, in line with the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $397.6 million While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Kyle Boucher (TD Cowen) asked about the drivers of the expected second-half revenue ramp. CEO Samraat Raha highlighted hereditary cancer momentum, GeneSight strength, prenatal improvement, and the anticipated impact of new sales hires. Tycho Peterson (Jefferies) inquired about the contributions of dedicated sales teams versus new MyRisk panels. Raha clarified that the new sales teams began after the quarter’s end, while MyRisk and disease-specific panels drove current growth. Puneet Souda (Leerink Partners) pressed for details on commercial team investments and sales rep productivity. CCO Brian Donnelly explained the focus on targeted hiring, dedicated product portfolios, and a multi-quarter ramp in rep productivity.

Management cited a focused sales approach, the differentiated FirstGene product, and no ongoing internal operational issues as reasons for optimism. Subhalaxmi Nambi (Guggenheim) asked about FirstGene reimbursement and margin impact. CFO Ben Wheeler stated that current reimbursement uses existing codes and that FirstGene is expected to be accretive to prenatal gross margins. In the coming quarters, our team will be watching (1) the pace of adoption and expansion for the Precise MRD and AI-enabled Prolaris tests, (2) stabilization and recovery in the prenatal segment, particularly following the FirstGene launch, and (3) the realization of incremental sales productivity from the expanded commercial team. Execution on these milestones will be critical for supporting the company’s growth and margin improvement objectives.

Actress Jackie Tohn Got Results Nobody Wants But They May Have Saved Her Life
The Netflix star partners with Myriad Genetics to tell her BRCA1 story and why she wants everyone to know about hereditary cancer testing SALT LAKE CITY, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine, joins forces with Nobody Wants This actress Jackie Tohn to raise awareness about the importance of hereditary cancer testing with the MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test. Through conversations with her physician and genetic testing, Tohn discovered she carried a BRCA1 gene variant after her father was diagnosed with cancer and tested positive for the same variant. With guidance from her physician, she chose to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy and future oophorectomy. “I am very proactive about my health, and yet I had no idea how important hereditary cancer screening was,” said Tohn. “Working with my genetic counselor, I learned I had an 85% chance of developing breast cancer and a 65% chance of developing ovarian cancer. Given how high those numbers are, I believe hereditary cancer testing saved my life.” The hereditary cancer risk for 11 cancer types, including breast, ovarian, uterine and prostate cancers, can be inherited through either the maternal or paternal side of the family. Important risk factors for hereditary cancer screening are: Multiple of the same type of cancers on the same side of the family Young family history of cancer that is diagnosed at a young age (50 or younger) Rare cancer in your family like ovarian, male breast cancer or pancreatic cancer "The MyRisk test is about empowerment. When you know your risk, you and your provider may be able to build a personalized plan for early surveillance with increased screenings or other risk-reducing measures that could include medication or surgery," said Brian Donnelly, Chief Commercial Officer, Myriad Genetics. "Jackie's result was not the news anyone wants but having that information allowed her and her clinicians to be proactive about managing her health risks.” More than one in four women in an OB-GYN setting meet the clinical criteria for hereditary cancer testing.1 For individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, like Tohn, the risk is even greater. 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals (men and women) carry a BRCA1/2 gene mutation. Individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are 10x more likely to carry…Read full documentShow less

Individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are 10x more likely to carry a BRCA1/2 mutation compared to the general population at large.2 “I’m sharing my story because I am a Jewish woman in my 40s and no one had ever talked to me about BRCA,” said Tohn. “I hope hearing about my experience encourages everyone to learn more about their family health history, start a conversation with their doctor, and explore a genetic test like the MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test.” The MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test with RiskScore® evaluates 63 carefully selected genes to assess hereditary risk across 11 cancer types, including breast, ovarian, uterine, colorectal, and prostate cancers. For breast cancer risk, the RiskScore assessment combines personal history, family history, and ~150 genetic markers to build both a personalized five-year and remaining lifetime risk of breast cancer and is two times more predictive of breast cancer risk than personal and family history alone.3 Testing can be completed through a healthcare provider or via virtual care using a blood or saliva sample, with results typically available within 14 days. Myriad’s board-certified genetic counselors are available for a complimentary phone consultation to help understand test results and help guide conversations with a healthcare provider. Clinicians can order and receive results through the Myriad patient portal and several electronic medical record platforms including Epic and OncoEMR. Myriad was the first laboratory to identify and sequence the BRCA genes and has been a leader in hereditary cancer testing for over 30 years, testing over 3 million patients.
