“AI-based software and software making use of AI functionality, which the Company uses in certain parts of its business, is increasingly being used in the healthcare industry, such as for research, marketing, and commercialization, and we expect to use technology that uses AI in the future. As with many developing technologies, AI-based software presents risks and challenges. For example, algorithms may be flawed; data sets may be insufficient, of poor quality or contain biased information; and inappropriate or controversial data practices could impair results. …”see in full comparison
“In recent years, there has been increasing public and regulatory scrutiny of the use of cookies by companies in the healthcare space.

The evolving nature of AI technologies and the surrounding legal and regulatory environment presents risks and uncertainties related to cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, intellectual property, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, and reputational challenges that could affect our business. Specifically, risks related to accuracy, bias, artificial intelligence hallucinations, discrimination, harmful content, misinformation, fraud, scams, targeted attacks (including model poisoning or data poisoning), surveillance, data leakage, inequality, environmental harms, and other harms may flow from our development, use, or deployment of AI technologies. The use of AI technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including disclosures or other compromises to proprietary intellectual property and intellectual propertyinfringement.infringement,Additionally,orwebyexpectundermining our ability toseeassertincreasingorgovernmentdefendregulationownershiprelatedrights in intellectual property created with the assistance of AI tools. Over the past year, states have advanced, and in some cases passed, dozens of laws focusing on AI governance and regulation, including on deployment of AI in healthcare settings. At the federal level, the Trump Administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on the enforcement of state AI laws, including through a December 11, 2025, executive order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” So far, these efforts have not been successful at curtailing state action on AI regulation, contributing toartificialaintelligencecomplicateduselegislativeand ethics,patchwork, which mayalsobesignificantlylitigatedincreaseinthe burdenstate andcostfederalof research, development and compliance in this area. For example, in the U.S., a number of states have proposed and passed laws regulating various uses of AI.courts. In Europe, theEU’sEU begin implementing the Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”)—on August 1, 2024, with a significant part of the law scheduled to come into effect in August 2026. As currently enacted, the AI Act, which may be amended as part of the EU’s Digital Omnibus, which entered into force on August 1, 2024 and, with some exceptions, will begin to apply as of August 2,2026 —2026, imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we develop or deploy AI systems that are governed by these laws and regulations, we may be required to adopt higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, and adhere to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. Even in the absence ofdedicatededicated AI laws and regulations, we may be subject to novel legal and business risks relating to our adoption of these new technologies. In addition, the use of generative AI models in our internal or third-party systems may create new attack surfaces or methods for adversaries, which could impact us and our vendors. Our vendors may in turn incorporate AI tools into their own offerings, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.

•The Company may not realize revenue levels from its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test consistent with prior years.
•Marketing of the Company's COVID-19 tests and collection kits under EUAs from the FDA is subject to certain limitations and it is required to maintain compliance with the terms of the EUA, among other things, and the continuance of the EUAs is subject to government discretion.
•Delay or failure to obtain FDA approval for new products could delay commercialization of new products and prevent the Company from achieving revenue growth.
•The Company's stock price could continue to be volatile.
In an effort to increase the Company's molecular revenues, it has devoted increasing time and attention to expanding sales of its genomics products both domestically and internationally, with both new and existing accounts, including co-clearances and co-promotions with strategic partners. While the Company believes these new markets represent large growth opportunities, there is no assurance that it will be successful in capitalizing on these opportunities or that it will be able to increase the Company's product sales consistent with the Company's expectations. Factors that may impact the success of our genomics products include, but are not limited to, the market acceptance of the Company's products, available funding, cost containment strategies implemented by customers, increasing competition and regulatory constraints could limit sales of the Company's genomics products. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful or limited in expanding the its business into new markets, the Company's revenues and results of operations could be negatively affected.
Despite these challenges, the Company believes there is significant growth opportunity for its genomics products in the area of research by biotechnology companies, animal genetics, and disease risk management, which includes genetic risk testing, prenatal testing, carrier screening, pharmacogenomics testing and population heath studies.
The Company's future success will depend, in part, on the market acceptance, and the timing of such acceptance, of existing products such as InteliSwab®, OraQuick® HIV Self-Test, OraQuick® Ebola test and OMNIgene® • GUT product offerings, and other new products or technologies that may be developed or acquired. In addition, the Company's future revenues will depend on market acceptance of newurine usesas fora thesample Company'stype saliva collection products,, and the Company's newother serviceproduct offerings, such as Syphilisthe HealthCompany's Check®anticipated CT/NG test and OraQuickColli-Pee® HCV Self-Test.device. To commercially market new uses of the Company's products and to achieve market acceptance, it will likely be required to undertake clinical studies to validate the new uses for its products and spend significant funds to complete product development and clinical studies and then undertake substantial marketing efforts to inform potential customers and the public of the existence and perceived benefits of these products and services. In addition, governmental funding may be needed to help complete development, obtain required regulatory approvals, clearances or EUAs and create market acceptance and expand the use of these products and services.
There may be limited evidence on which to evaluate the market reaction to products and services that may be developed and the Company's marketing efforts for new products and services or products with new uses may not be successful. The market for microbiome products and services is in its early stages and its future development and acceptance by the Company's customers is uncertain. Also, the Company continues to develop and seek 510(k) regulatory clearance for the InteliSwab® tests, and it is uncertain whether it will be successful in the development and validation efforts or whether these products will prove effective, receive applicable regulatory approvals and gain widespread acceptance in the marketplace. As such, there can be no assurance that any products or services will obtain significant market acceptance and fill the market need that is perceived to exist on a timely basis, or at all. It is possible that the Company's expenses to develop and market any such products, including, without limitation the Company's InteliSwab® tests,products will exceed any benefit in revenues, which may be short-lived. In addition, other products that compete with the Company's may achieve 510(k) clearance earlier than the Company's do, providing market advantages.
The Company experienced a significant decline in revenues from InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test sales in 2024 and expects revenues to continue to decline in 2025. The Company has seen a reduction in the prevalence of COVID-19 since the height of the pandemic, particularly following the expiration of the public health emergency declarations related to COVID-19 in mid-2023. The Company's revenues relating to the Company's COVID-19 testing products have declined, and it expects they will continue to decline in the future if the prevalence of COVID-19 remains low. Further, if the COVID-19 pandemic becomes a seasonal virus or experiences fluctuations in prevalence, the Company could experience fluctuations in its revenues associated with its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Tests. While there is still limited demand for COVID-19 testing products, there is no guarantee that current or anticipated demand will continue, or if demand does continue, that the Company will be able to produce its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test in quantities to meet the demand. A significant decline in demand for the InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test without a corresponding increase in the Company's other businesses could have a material, adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flow and financial position.
As with other FDA-regulated products, issues could emerge during the course of the marketing and use of the Company's products under an EUA that could impact the Company's ability to continue the sale and distribution of these products (for example, compliance or product performance issues). The applicable EUAs remain effective only until the HHS declaration is terminated or revoked, and the FDA may also revoke an EUA if it determines the criteria for issuance are no longer met or other circumstances make such revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety. If that were to occur, then in order to market the Company's diagnostic products or collection kits for the purpose of detecting COVID-19 the Company would be required to obtain the necessary regulatory clearances or approvals and be subject to the full and usual regulatory obligations for device manufacturers, including the QSR under 21 CFR Part 820. It is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain those clearances or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and that one or more of OraSure's competitors may obtain the necessary clearances or approvals for their products before the Company does.
However, clinicalClinical reference laboratories and hospital-based laboratories currently provide the majority of diagnostic tests used by physicians and other healthcare providers in the U.S. In certain international markets such as Europe, diagnostic testing is performed primarily by centralized laboratories. The Company's future sales will depend, in part, on the Company's ability to expand market acceptance of rapid point-of-care testing by physicians, other healthcare providers and consumers and successfully compete against laboratory testing methods and products. Even if the Company can demonstrate that its products are more cost effective, save time, or have better performance or other benefits, physicians, other healthcare providers and consumers may resist changing to rapid point-of-care tests and instead may choose to obtain diagnostic results through laboratory tests. The Company's failure to achieve and expand market acceptance of its rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests with customers would have a negative effect on its future sales growth.
There is significant competition, including from other companies and governmental organizations, who make and distribute rapid tests for COVID-19. Many of these entities have substantially greater resources (including capital and personnel) than OraSure does. Even if the Company is successful in marketing its InteliSwab® tests, there is no guarantee that competitors will not take market share from the Company's offerings through more effective marketing or competitive pricing, higher quality or technological superiority.
The sales cycles for certain of the Company's products can be lengthy and unpredictable, which makes it more difficult to accurately forecast revenues in a given period and may cause revenues and operating results to vary from period to period. Sales of the Company's products often involve purchasing decisions by large public and private institutions, may require many levels of approval and may be dependent on economic or political conditions and the availability of grants or funding from governmental or public health agencies which can vary from period to period in both amount and timing. For example, in past years the Company's OraQuick ADVANCE® HIV-1/2 test has been purchased through bulk procurement or other funding provided by governmental agencies. The Company's OraQuick® HCV test has been purchased by customers who receive government funding, and the Company believes increased funding from government agencies will be required to substantially increase the volume of HCV testing, especially in the public health market. There can be no assurance that purchases or funding from these agencies will occur or continue. In addition, government funding is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. For example, the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) announced on February 7, 2025, a policy significantly reducing research grants by limiting payments for indirect costs. While, as of the date of this filing, thea orderlower court has imposed a permanent injunction preventing the NIH from adopting the policy, which as been temporarilysubsequently stayed,affirmed by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, there can be no assurance that it will not take effect or that otherfurther adverse actions will not be taken. Further, our revenue may be adversely affected if our clients delay purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government budget proposals, including reduced allocations to government agencies. In addition, government funding is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. As a result, the Company may expend considerable resources on unsuccessful sales efforts or it may not be able to complete transactions at all or on a schedule and in an amount consistent with its objectives or previous order patterns.
One of the Company's strategic priorities is to substantially expand its product sales internationally. An opportunity to accomplish this objective is with the sale of the Company's OraQuick® HIV Self-Test in support of large self-testing programs in certain African countries and elsewhere. The Company's OraQuick® HIV Self-Test is also currently available in six European countries: United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The Company is also working to expand international sales of its professional HIV and HCV products and its sample management solutions. The Company is also pursuing opportunities to obtain certain governmental or economic incentives by establishing in‑country value‑added assembly or manufacturing operations (“near‑shoring”) in select international markets, including in parts of Africa, which are intended to provide cost, logistics, or market-access benefits.
In September 2022, the Company entered into an $8.6 million contract with BARDA to develop aan second generationupdated Ebola test on the OraQuick® testing platform, which was subsequently modified in September 2023 to add an additional $6.8 in funding to be used to obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals. Also in September, 2022, the Company was selected to provide its OraQuick® In-Home HIV testsSelf-Tests in support of the CDC "Together Take me Home," HIV self-test program. Under the program, the CDC is expected to provide $41.5 million over a five-year period to support community testing. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency ("DLA") for the second procurement of the Company's InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test for OTC use. During the same quarter, the Company entered into a contract with the BARDA to provide it with up to $13.6 million in funding to obtain an FDA 510(k) clearance and CLIA waiver for the Company's InteliSwab® test. The Company continued development work and analytical testing on this test throughout 2023. However, in early 2024, the Company has communicated to BARDA that it does not intend to pursue further development of this product. In September 2021, the Company entered into a contract with the U.S. DOD in coordination with the HHS for $109 million in funding to build additional manufacturing capacity in the United States for the Company's InteliSwab® test.
In February 2024, the FDA issued the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) Final Rule to amend the QSR, incorporating by reference the international standard for medical device quality management systems set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 13485:2016. The rule will become effective on February 2, 2026. Until then, manufacturers are required to comply with the QSR. We believe that our facilities and procedures are in material compliance with the FDA’s QSRQMSR requirements, the European Union’s Quality Management Systems requirements, ISO 13485:2016, but the regulations are subject to change or may be unclear, and we cannot be sure that FDA investigators will agree with our compliance with the FDA’s post-market requirements.
The Company currently purchases certain critical components of its products from sole supply sources or other third-party suppliers. For example, the biological antigens and antibodies, nitrocellulose and certain other components required to make the Company's OraQuick® HIV, HCV and Ebola products are currently purchased from sole-source suppliers. The Company has contracted with third parties in Thailand for parts of the assembly of OraQuick® HIV device and the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test in order to supply certain international markets. In addition, the Company's subsidiary, DNAG, usesuses, on a limited basis, third-party manufacturers to supply certain products, including its Colli-Pee®, Oragene® and ORAcollect® lines of collection kits.
The Company experienced a significant decline in revenues from InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test sales in 2024 and 2025, and expects revenues to continue to decline in 2026. The Company has seen a reduction in the prevalence of COVID-19 since the height of the pandemic, particularly following the expiration of the public health emergency declarations related to COVID-19 in mid-2023. The Company's revenues relating to the Company's COVID-19 testing products have declined, and it expects they will continue to decline in the future if the prevalence of COVID-19 remains low. Further, if COVID-19 becomes a seasonal virus or experiences additional fluctuations in prevalence, the Company could experience fluctuations in its revenues associated with its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Tests. While there is still limited demand for COVID-19 testing products, there is no guarantee that current or anticipated demand will continue, or if demand does continue, that the Company will be able to produce its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid Test in quantities to meet the demand.
As with other FDA-regulated products, issues could emerge during the course of the marketing and use of the Company's products under an EUA that could impact the Company's ability to continue the sale and distribution of these products (for example, compliance or product performance issues). The applicable EUAs remain effective only until the HHS declaration is terminated or revoked, and the FDA may also revoke an EUA if it determines the criteria for issuance are no longer met or other circumstances make such revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety. If that were to occur, then in order to market the Company's diagnostic products or collection kits for the purpose of detecting COVID-19 the Company would be required to obtain the necessary regulatory clearances or approvals and be subject to the full and usual regulatory obligations for device manufacturers, including the QMSR under 21 CFR Part 820. It is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain those clearances or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and that one or more of OraSure's competitors may obtain the necessary clearances or approvals for their products before the Company does.
One of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 24%3% of its net consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024.2025. Certain parts of the Company's business may continue to have a high customer concentration and depend disproportionately on a few large customers. To the extent that such a large customers fail to meet their purchase commitments, change their ordering patterns or business strategies, or otherwise reduce their purchases or stop purchasing the Company's products, or if it experiences difficulty in meeting the high demand by these larger customers for its products, the Company's revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.
A portion of our revenues is derived from sales to customers that rely on funding from the U.S. government, including federal agencies, state programs, and entities receiving grants and contracts from the HHS, the U.S. Agency for International Development (“USAID”), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”), and other government programs. In 2025, the U.S. government implemented funding freezes and delays that have directly affected healthcare and life sciences procurement. Any reduction, delay, or uncertainty in the availability of such funding could adversely affect the purchasing patterns of these customers, impacting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Among factors that could adversely affect our business are the impact of actions, such as the U.S. government implementing funding freezes and delays; other changes in fiscal policies or decreases in available government funding; changes in government funding priorities; changes in government programs or applicable requirements; the impact of the adoption of new laws or regulations or changes to existing laws or regulations on global health initiatives and domestic procurement of essential healthcare supplies; changes in government administration and national and international priorities, including developments in the geopolitical environment; the termination or reduction in certain funding for research and development, including from BARDA; changes in audit policies and procedures of government entities; potential delays or changes in the government appropriations process; and delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices.
In recent months, the U.S. government has implemented funding freezes and delays that have directly affected healthcare and life sciences procurement. For example, on January 22, 2025, the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) issued a directive halting the disbursement of certain federal funds, pending review of budgetary priorities. Similarly, on February 10, 2025, the U.S. Department of State and USAID announced a 90-day suspension of new foreign assistance obligations, affecting global health initiatives and domestic procurement of essential healthcare supplies.
Since the beginning of 2019, theThe Company has acquired or made investments in several companies through which it has gained access to new technologies, products and services which are complementary to its existing business and aligned with its long-term business strategy. For example, in January 2024, the Company announced its investment and entry into wide ranging strategic distribution agreements with KKR Sapphiros L.P. ("Sapphiros"), and in December 2024, the Company acquired Sherlock Biosciences, Inc. ("Sherlock"),Sherlock, expanding the Company's product pipeline with the addition of Sherlock's molecular diagnostics platform.platform, and in November 2025, the Company acquired BioMedomics, also expanding the Company's product pipeline with the addition of BioMedomics' SickleSCAN™ test for sickle cell disease. The Company will likely continue to pursue strategic acquisitions or investments as a way to expand its business. These activities, and their impact on the Company's business, are subject to many risks, including the following:
We May Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Acquisition of Sherlock.
The success of the acquisition of Sherlock will depend on, among other things, our ability to combine our business with Sherlock in a manner that allows us to achieve developmental and operational synergies. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our ongoing business or the ongoing business of Sherlock, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, or policies, in each case, that could adversely affect our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management's attention from our core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to our stockholders. An inability to realize the full extent of, or any of, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, which may affect the value of our common stock. If we are unable to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer or cost more to realize than expected.
Government funding is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable. Under the Trump administration, the NIH announced on February 7, 2025, a policy significantly reducing research grants by limiting payments for indirect costs. Indirect costs represented more than 25% of total grant dollars awarded by the NIH in 2023. Our research customers may face increased financial pressure due to this change or any future caps on indirect costs. While, as of the date of this filing, a lower court has imposed a permanent injunction preventing the orderNIH from adopting the policy, which has been temporarilysubsequently stayed,affirmed by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, there can be no assurance that it will not take effect or that otherfurther adverse actions will not be taken. Further, our revenue may be adversely affected if our research customers delay purchases as a result of uncertainties surrounding the approval of government budget proposals, including reduced allocations to government agencies, such as the NIH.
All in vitro diagnostic productsdevices that are to be soldplaced on the market in the EU must bear thea CE mark indicating conformanceconformity with the applicable requirements of the relevant EU in vitro diagnostic medical devices legislation.IVDR. The EU IVDR became applicable on May 26, 2022 and repealed the previous IVDD. There is a transitional period during which products that have a declaration of conformity issued under the IVDD prior to May 26, 2022 may continue to be placed on the EU market for a certain period before requiring certification under the EU IVDR, subject to compliance with certain requirements under the EU IVDR (see the section titled "Governmental Regulation - International" for further Informationinformation). The Company has obtained the CE mark for several of its existing products under the IVDD. It also intends to apply for CE marks for certain of its future products and is not aware of any material reason why it would be unable to obtain those marks. However, there can be no assurance that compliance with all provisions of the EU IVDR will be demonstrated and the CE mark will be obtained or maintained for all products that the Company desires to sell in the EU. The failure to obtain or maintain the CE mark for one or more of the Company's products could lead to the termination of strategic alliances and agreements for sales of those products in the EU and mean that the Company is unable to sell such products in the EU.
Regulation by the FDA and other federal, state and foreign regulatory agencies impacts many aspects of the Company's operations and the operations of its suppliers and distributors, including manufacturing, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, recalls, distribution, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping. The Company is subject to routine inspection by the FDA and other agencies to determine compliance with QSRQMSR and FDA regulatory requirements in the United States and other applicable regulations worldwide, including but not limited to ISO standards. The Company believes that its facilities and procedures are in material compliance with the FDA requirements and ISO standards, but the regulations may be unclear and are subject to change, and the Company cannot be sure that the FDA or other regulators will agree with its compliance with these requirements. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies may require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the performance of approved or cleared products or impose conditions on any product clearances or approvals that could restrict the distribution or commercial applications of those products. Regulatory agencies may impose restrictions on the Company or its distributors’ advertising and promotional activities or preclude these activities altogether if a noncompliance is believed to exist. In addition, the subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems with a product may result in restrictions on the product or additional regulatory actions, including withdrawal of the product from the market.
Some of the Company's products, particularly those sold by DNAG, are sold for research purposes in the U.S. The Company does not promote these products for clinical diagnostic use and they are labeled “For Research Use Only” ("RUO"). If the FDA were to disagree with the Company's RUO designation of a product, it could allege that we had misbranded or adulterated our RUO products. If the CompanyFDA asserts that our RUO products are subject to marketing authorization, or that our RUO products are adulterated or misbranded, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be forcedadversely to recall and/or stop selling the product until appropriate regulatory clearance or approval has been obtained.affected.
The Company believes that its products and procedures are in material compliance with all applicable FDA regulations, ISO requirements, and other applicable regulatory requirements, but the regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of its products, the QSRQMSR and ISO requirements, and other requirements may be unclear and are subject to change. Newly promulgated regulations could require changes to the Company's products, necessitate additional clinical trials or procedures, or make it impractical or impossible for it to market its products for certain uses, in certain markets, or at all. The FDA and other regulatory authorities also have the ability to change the requirements for obtaining product approval or clearance and/or impose new or additional requirements as part of the approval or clearance process. These changes or new or additional requirements may occur after the completion of substantial clinical work and other costly development activities. The implementation of such changes or new or additional requirements may result in additional clinical trials and substantial additional costs and could delay or make it more difficult or complicated to obtain approvals and sell the Company's products.
Disruptions at the FDA and Other Government Agencies, Including Staffing Constraints, and Funding Uncertainty, Could Delay or Prevent the Development, Review, Approval, or Commercialization of Our Products and Adversely Affect Our Business.
Our business depends on the effective functioning of the FDA, the SEC, and other governmental authorities that regulate, review, fund, or otherwise influence the development, approval, manufacturing, and commercialization of our products. In recent periods, these agencies have experienced material disruptions, including government shutdowns, workforce reductions, hiring freezes, funding uncertainty, and shifts in policy priorities, and similar conditions may persist or recur. These disruptions have resulted in longer and less predictable regulatory review timelines, reduced availability of agency personnel, and delays in inspections, meetings, and other regulatory activities. Following a shutdown or funding change, regulatory backlogs and resource constraints may continue for extended periods. As a result, our ability to obtain timely regulatory approvals, clearances, or authorizations for new or modified products may be delayed or impaired, which could postpone product launches, increase development costs, require additional studies or data, or prevent products from being commercialized. Our regulatory risk is further heightened by the FDA’s increasing workload, evolving oversight priorities, and constraints on its ability to hire and retain experienced personnel. Reduced staffing or funding at the FDA or other agencies may limit their capacity to meet performance goals, conduct inspections, or provide timely guidance, which could adversely affect our development timelines and commercial plans.
The Company is subject to European data protection regulations where it collects and uses personal data related to Europe. This includes the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”) as well as other national data protection legislation in force in relevant European Economic Area (“EEA”) member states, and the EU GDPR in such form as incorporated into the laws of the UK ("UK GDPR", together with EU GDPR, "GDPR"), which govern the collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer, or other processing of personal data: (i) regarding individuals in the EEA; and/or (ii) carried out in the context of the activities of the Company's establishment in any EEA member state. Failure to comply with the GDPR, and any supplemental European Economic Area (“EEA”) country’s national data protection laws which may apply by virtue of the location of the individuals whose personal data the Company collects, may result in fines and other administrative penalties, including fines of up to the greater of 4% of worldwide turnover and €20 million (or £17.5 million in the UK). The GDPR also confers a private right of action on data subjects and consumer associations to lodge complaints with supervisory authorities, seek judicial remedies, and obtain compensation for damages resulting from violations of the GDPR. The GDPR imposes several mandatory requirements on companies that process personal data, including requirements relating to the processing of special category personal data (such as health sensitive data), ensuring a legal basis or condition applies to the processing of personal data, which may include obtaining the consent of the individuals to whom the personal data relates, providing notice to individuals about personal data processing activities, having data processing agreements with third parties who process personal data, notification of personal data breaches to data protection authorities and individuals, and the implementing of safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of the personal data. The GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data out of the EEA/UK to third countries, including the United States in certain circumstances, unless a derogation exists or a valid GDPR transfer mechanism (for example, the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or SCCs, or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) applies. Any inability to transfer personal data from the EEA/UK to the United States in compliance with data protection laws may impede the Company's ability to conduct trials and may adversely affect its business and financial position. Complying with the enhanced obligations imposed by the GDPR imposes additional obligations and risk upon the Company's business, and may result in significant costs to its business and require it to amend certain of its business practices. Further, the Company has no assurances that violations will not occur, particularly given the complexity of the GDPR.
The European Commission has issued a decision recognizing the UK as providing adequate protection under the EU GDPR (the “Adequacy Decision”) ensuring transfers of personal data originating in the EEA to the UK remain unrestricted. The UK government has also confirmed personal data transfers from the UK to the EEA remain free flowing. Despite Brexit, the UK and EEA data protection regimes remain largely aligned. However, there is increasing risk of divergence in application, interpretation and enforcement of these data protection regimes, creating additional regulatory uncertainty. For example, the UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (“UK Act”), now in force, further differentiates the UK’s data protection regime from the EEA. In December 2025, the European Commission adopted a decision determining that the UK continues to provide a level of data protection that is “essentially equivalent” to the EU standards and extended the validity of the UK adequacy decision for six years, through December 2031. While this renewal reduces immediate concerns around the UK’s adequacy for transfers of EU personal data, uncertainty remains regarding how UK data protection laws will evolve in the medium to longer term. The lack of clarity on future UK laws and their interaction with EU laws and regulations may affect the Company’s efforts to maintain a harmonized approach to processing European personal data and expose the Company to two parallel regimes where the UK GDPR and EU GDPR both apply with differing interpretation and enforcement approaches. This could increase the Company’s legal risk and compliance cost associated with the handling of European personal data, and may require the Company to adapt its privacy and data security compliance programs to account for legal and regulatory divergence between the UK and EEA. In addition, EEA Member States have adopted national laws to implement the GDPR that may partially deviate from the GDPR. Further, the competent authorities in the EEA Member States may interpret GDPR obligations slightly differently from country to country, such that the Company may be unable to operate in a uniform legal landscape across the EEA.
Complying with the enhanced obligations imposed by the GDPR imposes additional obligations and risk upon the Company's business, and may result in significant costs to its business and require it to amend certain of its business practices. Further, the Company has no assurances that violations will not occur, particularly given the complexity of the GDPR.
The Company is also subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which creates individual privacy rights and places stringent privacy and security obligations on businesses covered by the law, including obligations to provide detailed disclosures to California consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices and provide such consumers with ways to opt out of certain uses of sensitive personal information, including health information. It also provides for civil penalties for violations and allows for a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. The law also created a new state regulatory agency that was vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA. Failure to comply with the CCPA or other data processing or security laws, or any changes in these laws, could adversely impact the Company's business and its business plans. Similar laws have been passed and proposed in other states and at the federal level, and if passed, such laws may have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging.Inchallenging. In addition to these comprehensive consumer privacy laws and proposals, a number of other states have passed or proposed more limited privacy laws that focus on specific privacy issues such as biometric data and the privacy of health and medical information, such as Washington state’s My Health My Data Act, which went into effect in March 2024. The My Health My Data Act imposes new state restrictions and requirements on the processing and sale of consumer health data and creates a private right of action, which further increases the relevant compliance risk. Connecticut and Nevada have also passed similar laws regulating consumer health data. The effects of state and federal privacy laws are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and potential liability in an effort to comply with such legislation.
In recent years, there has been increasing public and regulatory scrutiny of the use of cookies by companies in the healthcare space. For example, the FTC has brought enforcement actions against online healthcare services and service providers, and there has been an increase in litigation alleging the unauthorized collection and sharing of sensitive health information in violation of federal and state privacy laws. While we do not collect HIPAA-regulated PHI via the use of cookies on our websites, and we believe our use of cookies on those websites complies with all applicable laws, we may from time to time receive public or regulatory inquiries about our use of tracking technologies. Continued regulation of cookies, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations, and increased scrutiny of the use of cookies by healthcare technology companies could restrict our ability to engage in certain activities or require changes to our practices. If we are believed or found to have not complied with our obligations under applicable laws, we may also be subject to litigation, substantial financial penalties, injunctive actions and reputational harm. All of the above could impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Changes In Tax Laws Or In Their Implementation Or Interpretation May Adversely Affect Us Or Our Investors.
The rules dealing with the U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application), including with respect to net operating losses and research and development tax credits, could adversely affect us or holders of our common stock. In recent years, many changes have been made and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future. For example, recent legislation that was signed into law on July 4, 2025 made significant changes to U.S. federal tax law. It cannot be predicted whether, when, in what form, or with what effective dates, new tax laws may be enacted, or regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or issued under existing or new tax laws, which could result in an increase in our or our stockholders’ tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects of changes in tax law or in the interpretation thereof.
We may builduse and integrate AI into our business practices, andincluding through the adoption of commercially available tools. The evolving nature of AI technologies and the surrounding legal and regulatory environment presents risks and uncertainties related to cybersecurity, data privacy, IT, intellectual property, regulatory, legal, operational, competitive, and reputational challenges that could affect our business. Specifically, risks related to accuracy, bias, artificial intelligence hallucinations, discrimination, harmful content, misinformation, fraud, scams, targeted attacks (including model poisoning or data poisoning), surveillance, data leakage, inequality, environmental harms, and other harms may flow from our development, use, or deployment of AI technologies. The use of AI technology can give rise to intellectual property risks, including disclosures or other compromises to proprietary intellectual property and intellectual property infringement.infringement, Additionally,or weby expectundermining our ability to seeassert increasingor governmentdefend regulationownership relatedrights in intellectual property created with the assistance of AI tools. Over the past year, states have advanced, and in some cases passed, dozens of laws focusing on AI governance and regulation, including on deployment of AI in healthcare settings. At the federal level, the Trump Administration has endorsed a federal moratorium on the enforcement of state AI laws, including through a December 11, 2025, executive order on “Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.” So far, these efforts have not been successful at curtailing state action on AI regulation, contributing to artificiala intelligencecomplicated uselegislative and ethics,patchwork, which may alsobe significantlylitigated increasein the burdenstate and costfederal of research, development and compliance in this area. For example, in the U.S., a number of states have proposed and passed laws regulating various uses of AI.courts. In Europe, the EU’sEU begin implementing the Artificial Intelligence Act (“AI Act”) —on August 1, 2024, with a significant part of the law scheduled to come into effect in August 2026. As currently enacted, the AI Act, which may be amended as part of the EU’s Digital Omnibus, which entered into force on August 1, 2024 and, with some exceptions, will begin to apply as of August 2, 2026 —2026, imposes significant obligations on providers and deployers of high-risk artificial intelligence systems, and encourages providers and deployers of artificial intelligence systems to account for EU ethical principles in their development and use of these systems. If we develop or deploy AI systems that are governed by these laws and regulations, we may be required to adopt higher standards of data quality, transparency, and human oversight, and adhere to specific and potentially burdensome and costly ethical, accountability, and administrative requirements. Even in the absence of dedicatededicated AI laws and regulations, we may be subject to novel legal and business risks relating to our adoption of these new technologies. In addition, the use of generative AI models in our internal or third-party systems may create new attack surfaces or methods for adversaries, which could impact us and our vendors. Our vendors may in turn incorporate AI tools into their own offerings, and the providers of these AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards, including with respect to privacy and data security. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. Any of these outcomes could damage our reputation, result in the loss of valuable property and information, and adversely impact our business.
The FDA has regulatory responsibility over instruments, test kits, reagents and other devices used to perform diagnostic testing by clinical laboratories. In the past, the FDA has taken the position that it has regulatory authority over laboratory-developed tests ("LDTs"), but has exercised enforcement discretion in not regulating most LDTs performed by high complexity CLIA-certified laboratories. LDTs are tests designed, developed, and performed in-house by a laboratory. Such laboratories are subject to regulation under CLIA but have not been subject to regulation by the FDA under the agency’s medical device requirements. A significant portion of the total volume of genetic or molecular testing is performed with LDTs.
On April 29, 2024, the FDA published a final rule on LDTs, in which FDA outlines its plan to end enforcement discretion for many LDTs in five stages over a four-year period. However, in March 2025, a federal district court judge issued a decision that vacated the FDA’s final rule on the grounds that the FDA did not have authority under the FDCA to promulgate it because LDTs do not fall within the statutory definition of “device.” This district court ruling was not appealed, and the FDA’s final rule will no longer be implemented or enforced by the FDA.
Stakeholders continue to press for a comprehensive legislative solution to create a harmonized paradigm for oversight of LDTs by both the FDA and CMS, although it is unclear whether any future legislative efforts towards such a goal would be successful. The outcome and ultimate impact on our business of any future changes to the federal government’s regulation of LDTs via legislative enactments is difficult to predict.
On April 29, 2024, the FDA published a final rule on LDTs, in which FDA outlines its plan to end enforcement discretion for many LDTs in five stages over a four-year period.
•In Phase 1 (effective May 6, 2025), clinical laboratories would be required to comply with medical device reporting, correction/removal reporting, and certain quality systems complaint handling requirements.
•In Phase 2 (effective May 6, 2026), clinical laboratories would be required to comply with all other device requirements (e.g., establishment registration and device listing, labeling, investigational use requirements), except for remaining quality systems requirements and premarket review requirements.
•In Phase 3 (effective May 6, 2027), clinical laboratories would be required to comply with all remaining quality systems requirements.
•In Phase 4 (effective November 6, 2027), clinical laboratories would be required to comply with premarket submission requirements for high-risk tests (i.e., tests subject to FDA's premarket approval (PMA) requirement).
•In Phase 5 (effective May 6, 2028), clinical laboratories would be required to comply with premarket submission requirements for moderate- and low- risk tests (i.e., tests subject to de novo classification or the 510(k) requirement).
On May 29, 2024, the American Clinical Laboratory Association filed a lawsuit challenging the FDA's authority to regulate LDTs as medical devices under the FDCA. Subsequently, on August 19, 2024, the Association for Molecular Pathology filed a lawsuit similarly challenging FDA's final rule on LDTs. The outcomes of these lawsuits is uncertain at this time.
In recent years, the Department of Justice indicted a number of telemedicine companies and cancer genetic testing laboratories for allegedly submitting fraudulent insurance claims to Medicare. AIn the past, a number of these companies were customerspurchasing ofDNAG DNAG.products. As a result of these activities, the FDA has issued letters to genetic testing laboratories indicating that it plans to increase oversight of this market which has caused some of these companies to stop providing testing options or to change how they are reporting the information provided by the testing. The activities have negatively affected this market andand, should these enforcement actions continue despite the district court's ruling on FDA's final rule on LDT's, there is a risk that these enforcement actions will continue to negatively affect this market by forcing laboratories to either stop offering such services or restricting the use of such services. Such a reduction in testing could result in decreased sales of the Company's DNA collection devices.
The Company has experienced annual net losses during the five years prior to 2015, between 2020 through 2022 and again recorded net losses for the yearyears ended December 31, 2024.2024 and 2025. In addition, as of December 31, 2024,2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $103.4$172.2 million. Even though the Company achieved profitability in 2015 through 2019 and in 2023, there can be no assurance that it will be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

Trade‑related measures have in the past, and may in the future change with limited notice and could be accompanied by retaliatory actions by other countries. Geopolitical and economic risks, together with trade protectionism have increased over the past few years in many regions of the world, including in the United States. Any of these risks, ensuing retaliation, or the further deterioration of trade relations between countries could make our offerings more expensive or non-competitive in the affected countries. Growing tensions, protectionist trade policies, and tariffs may also lead to a fragmentation of the global economy, a general reduction of international trade in goods and services, and a reduction in the integration of financial markets, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business results, cash flows, financial condition, or prospects. Changes in political leadership, statutory frameworks, or regulatory policy in the United States and abroad may further affect the interpretation, implementation, or enforcement of laws and regulations applicable to our business. If regulatory disruptions, staffing constraints, funding limitations, or trade actions continue or intensify, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, the revenues and expenses of the Company's subsidiary, DNAG, are recorded in Canadian dollars and the revenues and expenses of its subsidiary Novosanis are recorded in Euros.dollar. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting consolidated financial results. The Company's expectation is that the businesses of its foreign subsidiariessubsidiary will continue to grow and its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates may be more significant than in past years.
Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the revenues and expenses of the Company's foreign subsidiariessubsidiary and the translation of those financial results into U.S. dollars. Favorable movement in exchange rates have benefited the Company in prior periods. However, where there are unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations, the Company's consolidated financial statements including its balance sheet, revenues and results of operations, could be negatively affected. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could affect year-to-year comparability of operating results. In the past, the Company has not generally entered into hedging instruments to manage its currency exchange rate risk, but it may need to do so in the future. However, the Company's attempts to hedge against these risks may not be successful. If the Company is unable to successfully hedge against unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements, its consolidated financial results may be adversely impacted.

Consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 41.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025 from 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The largest driver of the margin decline was a negative product mix driven by lower InteliSwab® sales that generate higher gross margins and lower genomics sales that also generate higher gross margins. Also contributing to the decline in margins was lower absorption of fixed overhead costs due to lower revenues and production. The termination of the microbiome molecular sequencing services business which historically dragged down the gross margin rate helped to improve the gross margin rate during the period along with the higher non-product revenues which contribute 100% to gross margin.
Consolidated gross profit margin increased to 43% for the year ended December 31, 2024 from 42% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Gross margins increased in 2024 despite the significant decrease in revenues due to following factors. Results for the year ended December 31, 2024 included lower depreciation expense as a result of the inclusion in 2023 results of $6.9 million of accelerated depreciation associated with the wind-down of InteliSwab® manual assembly in Thailand as the Company on-shored and automated the manufacturing of this product at its Pennsylvania facilities and $0.5 million from the exit from one of its leased warehouse in an effort to consolidate facilities and further lower costs. Results for the year ended December 31, 2024 also included improved manufacturing overhead absorption largely resulting from reduced salary and benefits due to the reduction of workforce put in place in 2024 and 2023. 2024 also included lower product scrap expense as compared to the prior year. Offsetting these improvement to margins was lower gross margins generated from product mix primarily driven by the decline in InteliSwab® revenues and the mix of higher international sales of the Company's HIV products. Other non-product revenues which contribute 100% to gross margins also declined for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Consolidated operating loss for the year ended December 31, 20242025 was $28.3$72.0 million, compared to a $60.9 million decline from the $32.7$28.3 million operating incomeloss reported for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. Results for the year ended December 31, 20242025 were negatively impacted by the decrease in revenues, lower gross margins earned on the revenues and were positively impacted by reducedhigher operating expenses.

Research and development expenses increased 63% to $42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 largely due to higher spend incurred for clinical trials for the CT/NG device and additional research and development operational expense layered in from the acquired Sherlock companies.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024, excluding the impairment charges, decreased by $25.0 million to $103.2 million compared to $128.2 million the year ended December 31, 2023, reflecting the impact of the Company's cost saving measures and headcount reductions.
Research and development expenses decreased 23% to $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $33.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 largely due to lower staffing costs due to a decrease in headcount and no related project management fees for our $109 million manufacturing expansion contract which ended during the fourth quarter of 2023, and a decrease in spend on COVID-19 product development. This overall decrease in spend is partially offset by an increase in severance costs for those employees impacted by the Company's decisions to exit the molecular services business offered by its Diversigen subsidiary and wind-down of operations located in Belgium. The Company expects research and development expense to increase in 2025 as we invest in the development of Sherlock's test for CT/NG and other innovative projects.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased 15%16% to $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $36.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to decreased employee costs associated with a reduction in headcount, and lower advertisingmarket research and consultingadvertising spend. Amortization also decreased as $6.2 million of intangibles were impaired in 2023. These decreases are partially offset by increases in bad debt expense and severance charges related to the discontinuance of the risk assessment product line.
General and administrative expenses decreasedincreased 21%3% to $47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $46.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $58.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 largely due to lowerhigher legal fees relating to the SpectrumNowDx litigation (discussed further in Note 15,14, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included herein) and lower employee costs associated with reduced headcount partially offset by increase in non-cash stock compensation expense and transaction expenses associated with the Company'sSherlock acquisitionacquisition. ofAlso contributing to the increase were additional general and administrative expenses layered in from the acquired Sherlock companies which occurred in December.December 2024. Lower stock compensation expense, consulting fees, and decreased employee costs partially offset the increase in general and administrative spend.
All of the above contributed to the Company's operating loss of $72.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which included non-cash charges of $10.2 million for depreciation and amortization, $10.1 million for stock-based compensation, and $4.6 million for change in the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The Company's operating loss of $28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a non-cash charge of $11.9 million for stock-based compensation, $10.9 million for depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges of $4.4 million.
All of the above contributed to the Company's operating loss of $28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which included non-cash impairment charges of $4.4 million, non-cash charges of $10.9 million for depreciation and amortization, and $11.9 million for stock-based compensation. The Company's operating income of $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 included a non-cash impairment charge of $10.8 million, non-cash charges of $20.9 million for depreciation and amortization, and $10.7 million for stock-based compensation.
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $7.4 million compared to $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in other income is primarily due to lower interest income and lower foreign currency gains.
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $12.2 million compared to $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease is largely due to the inclusion in 2023 results of $12.8 million of additional profit earned above the guaranteed profit earned under the $109 million DOD manufacturing expansion contract that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. This additional profit resulted from lower spend under the fixed firm contract than originally budgeted. Other income in 2023 also included $2.8 million of guaranteed profit which covered project management costs recognized straight-line over the term of the contract. These amounts included in 2023 other income, which were not repeated in 2024, were partially offset by higher interest income and foreign currency gains for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023.
The Company continues to believe the full valuation allowance established against its total U.S. deferred tax asset is appropriate as the facts and circumstances necessitating the allowance have not changed. Although theThe Company has not achieved U.S. cumulative pre-tax earnings based on a rolling three year window as the Company has not achieved a level of sustained profitability that would, in its judgement,judgment, support the release of the valuation allowance. For the yearyears ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.8 million. 2024 income tax expense is comprised of $0.4 million of U.S. federal and state income tax expense, and foreign income tax expense of $1.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.6 million. 2023 income tax expense is comprised of U.S. state income tax expense of $1.9 million, and foreign income tax expense of $0.7 million.

The Company's working capital decreased to $222.1 million at December 31, 2025 from $299.7 million at December 31, 2024 from $346.9 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and working capital is primarily due to the investment in Sapphiros of $30.0 million and the initial payment for the acquisition of Sherlock for $5.0 million.2024. Working capital is primarily a function of sales, purchase volumes, inventory requirements, and vendor payment terms.
During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, net cash providedused byin operating activities was $27.4$49.0 million. Cash flows from operations can be significantly impacted by factors such as timing of receiptreceipts from customers, inventory purchases, and payments to vendors. The Company's net loss of $19.5$68.7 million included non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization expense of $10.9$10.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $11.9$10.1 million, impairmentchange chargesin takenestimated forfair idle equipment and right-of-use assets associated with Diversigen and Novosanisvalue of $4.4acquisition-related contingent consideration of $4.6 million, a loss on equity investment of 1.7$2.3 millionmillion, and other non-cash charges aggregating to $0.8$1.2 million.
Cash used by the Company's working capital accounts included a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $8.7 million largely attributable to lower bonus accruals, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.4 million associated with an increase in the Company's Canadian income tax receivable and increased prepayment of costs associated with the Company's efforts to prepare for production of the CT/NG device, a decrease of $1.7 million in accounts payable, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.5 million as work on grant projects is completed and earned. Offsetting these uses of cash is a decrease in inventory balances of $3.6 million related to the discontinuance of sales of the Company's Risk Assessment products and lower demand for its InteliSwab® COVID-19 Rapid test, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.9 million as the Company experienced a decline in overall sales.
Cash provided by the Company's working capital accounts included a decrease in accounts receivable of $15.9 million largely associated with lower overall sales and collections of balances due, a decrease in inventory of $13.1 million as the Company fulfilled demand for its InteliSwab® product, and a decrease in prepaid and other assets of $4.1 million. Offsetting these increases in cash was a $7.6 million decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of invoices received and payments made and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $6.4 million.

Revenue Recognition.Recognition
Product sales
Product sales. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer based on an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is entitled to, net of allowances for any discounts or rebates.
The Company generally does not grant product return rights to its customers, except for warranty returns and return rights on sales of its OraQuick® In-Home HIV testSelf-Test to the retail trade, and InteliSwab® products to the retail trade and certain other customers.
The Company records shipping and handling charges billed to the Company's customers as product revenue and the related expense as cost of products sold.
Service revenues represent microbiome laboratory testing and analytical services. The Company recognizes revenues when it satisfies its performance obligations for services rendered. Service revenue was discontinued with the closure of the molecular services line of business in 2024.
In arrangements involving more than one performance obligation, which largely applies to the Company's service revenue stream, each required performance obligation is evaluated to determine whether it qualifies as a distinct performance obligation based on whether (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and (ii) the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The consideration under the arrangement is then allocated to each separate distinct performance obligation based on each respective relative stand-alone selling price. The estimated selling price of each deliverable is determined using an observable cost plus margin approach. The consideration allocated to each distinct performance obligation is recognized as revenue when control is transferred for the related goods or services or when the performance obligation has been satisfied.

The estimated selling price of each deliverable is determined using an observable cost plus margin approach.

The Company's inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on aan first-in,average first-outcost basis,method, and include the cost of raw materials, labor and overhead. The majority of the Company's inventories are subject to expiration dating, which can be extended in certain circumstances. The Company continually evaluates quantities on hand and the carrying value of its inventories to determine the need for net realizable value adjustments for excess and obsolete inventories, based primarily on prior experience with consideration of expected changes in the business and estimated forecasts of product sales. The Company reserves for unidentifiedinventory scrapexpiring within ninety days, with the exception of inventory that will be consumed or spoilagewill basedhave onexpiration historicaldates write-off rates.extended. It also considers items identified through specific identification procedures in assessing the adequacy of its reserve. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the carrying value of its inventories and reported operating results.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis and noted there were impairment indicators. A quantitative impairment test was performed on both reporting units. Both reporting units showed fair value exceeded carrying value. The diagnostic reporting unit impairment results reflected a fair value with a narrower margin to its carrying value. As of November 30, 2025, the annual impairment testing date, the diagnostic reporting unit fair value exceeded the carrying value by 13%. As of December 31, 2025, the diagnostic reporting unit had $8.2 million of goodwill. The diagnostic reporting unit goodwill impairment analysis used both an income and market approach. These two approaches were weighted and the income approach was weighed more than the market approach. Key assumptions included estimates of revenues increasing each year as new products are launched and a weighted-average cost of capital based on guideline companies. The revenue and cashflows forecasts assume products are passed by regulatory bodies on a set timeline and market competition of future products is low. The revenues assume market growth will accelerate each year. If there are delays to attaining regulatory approval or successfully launching products, this could have a negative outcome on the goodwill impairment analysis. In addition, if the Company's weighted-average cost of capital is not aligned with guideline companies, this could negatively affect the goodwill impairment outcome.

The Company's business consists of the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of simple, easy to use diagnostic products and specimen collection devices using its proprietary technologies, as well as other diagnostic products including immunoassays and other in vitro diagnostic tests that are used on other specimen types. The Company's diagnostic products include tests for diseases including HIV, Hepatitis C, Syphilis, Sickle Cell and COVID-19 that are performed on a rapid basis at the point of care. These products are sold in the United States and internationally to various clinical laboratories, hospitals, clinics, community-based organizations, and other public health organizations, distributors, government agencies, physicians’ offices, and commercial and industrial entities. The Company's HIV and COVID-19 products are also sold in a consumer-friendly format in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market in the U.S. and, in the case of the HIV and HCV products, as a self-test to individuals in a number of other countries, including, for the HIV products, as an oral swab in-home test for HIV-1 and HIV-2 in Europe, and for the HCV products, as an OTC test. In December 2025, the Company submitted a 510(k) to the FDA for clearance of its rapid molecular self-test for CT/NG, which is currently under review.
The Company's business also includes sample management solutions and services that are used by clinical laboratories, direct-to-consumer laboratories, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and animal health service and product providers. The revenues from sample management solutions are derived from product sales to commercial customers and sales into the academic and research markets. Customers span the disease risk management, diagnostics, pharmaceutical, biotech, and companion animal market segments. The Company has also developed collection devices for the emerging microbiome market, which focuses on studying microbiomes and their effect on human and animal health. The Company also has a urine collection device which allows for the volumetric collection of first void urine. Initial sales of this product for research use only are occurring primarily through distributors and collaborations in the liquid biopsy and sexually transmitted disease markets. In December 2025, the Company also submitted a 510(k) to the FDA for clearance of its Colli-Pee® at-home urine collection device for sexually transmitted infections, which iswas currentlyapproved underin review.June 2026.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company announced the discontinuance of sales of its risk assessment product line, which was completed in the second quarter of 2025. Sales of its risk assessment products did not contribute to revenues during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Sales of its risk assessment products contributed $1.4$0.4 million to revenues during the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company sold certain assets that made up the risk assessment product line including certain intellectual property, contracts, permits, and equipment.
Recent Developments
In June 2026, the Company received clearance from the FDA of its Colli-Pee™•Dx Urine Collection Kit for use on Roche's tests for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) and to run on Roche’s cobas® 5800, 6800, and 8800 molecular diagnostic systems. The Colli-Pee™•Dx Urine Collection Kit will be sold by the Company's subsidiary DNA Genotek Inc. and supports at-home self-collection of first-void urine, enabling convenient sample collection at-home or in any private setting for both male and female patients.
In July 2026, the Company received Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") from the FDA for its second generation OraQuick™ Ebola Rapid Antigen Test for use with whole blood in live patients, as well as cadaveric oral fluid from individuals suspected to have had Ebola disease at the time of death. The test can detect all four Ebola viruses currently known to cause disease in humans: Bundibugyo, Zaire, Sudan, and Taï Forest. The OraQuick® Ebola Rapid Antigen Test originally received De Novo marketing authorization from the FDA in 2019, making it the first and only rapid antigen test to receive full authorization for the detection of Ebola virus. The second-generation test authorized by the FDA has increased sensitivity, new chemistry, and a more automated manufacturing process. It was developed in cooperation with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) under a contract granted in 2022. The current Ebola epidemic, centered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with cases extending into neighboring Uganda, has already resulted in hundreds of deaths and prompted the World Health Organization to declare a global public health emergency. The Company is ramping up production of the OraQuick™ Ebola 2.0 Rapid Antigen Test to meet potential demand and expand access to a proven, reliable test.
In December 2025, the Company submitted a 510(k) to the FDA for clearance of its rapid molecular self-test for CT/NG. Following constructive interactions with the FDA, the Company is updating its submission plan for the CT/NG test on the Sherlock platform to incorporate feedback received from the agency. As part of this process, in July 2026, the Company elected to withdraw its current submission and plans to pursue a future submission. The clinical studies that were performed demonstrated strong performance compared with centralized laboratory molecular diagnostic methods, and the Company remains encouraged by the product’s performance and its potential to serve an important public health need.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
The table below shows total consolidated net revenues for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025:
(3)Includes COVID-19 Sample Management Solutions and COVID-19 Diagnostics product revenues.
Consolidated net revenues decreased 7%2% to $27.9$30.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $29.9$31.2 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
Sales of the Company's Diagnostics products increased 1% to $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily driven by higher syphilis sales resulting from new customers in the women's health market and the inclusion of SickleSCAN® revenues, a new revenue stream acquired through the BioMedomics, Inc. acquisition completed in November 2025. These increases were partially offset by lower HCV revenues due to the expiration and non-renewal of a large customer's HCV testing program, as well as reduced funding associated with other programs. The increase was further offset by lower domestic HIV revenues attributable to lower purchases under the Together Take Me Home Program.
Sales of the Company's Diagnostics products decreased 5% to $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease in revenues is largely due to lower international HCV revenues driven by customer ordering patterns and funding constraints. This decline in revenues was offset by an increase in Company's Syphilis product sales to new customers in the women's health market.
Sample Management Solutions revenues remained largely flat at $9.1$9.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
COVID-19 Diagnostics sales decreased 96% to $18.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to completion of the Company's InteliSwab® tests contract with the U.S. government and lower overall demand for COVID-19 testing.
Non-product and services revenues increaseddecreased 66%34% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to the recognitioncompletion of revenue under various funded R&D contracts.
Consolidated gross profit margin increased to 42.3%43.5% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to 41.1%42.1% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The drivers of the margin increase wereare attributable to better absorption of fixed overhead costs due to operational efficiencies, improvedpartially offset by a negative product mix,mix and higherlower non-product revenues which contribute 100% to gross margin. An increase in scrap expense in the quarter partially offset the increases in gross margin.
Consolidated operating lossincome for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was $23.3$5.4 million compared to $17.8an operating loss of $18.0 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The higher operating loss reported in 2026 was largely a result of lower revenues coupled with increased research and development spend.
Research and development expenses increaseddecreased 42%17% to $13.7$9.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $9.6$11.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 largelyprimarily due to higher spend incurred forlower clinical trialstrial costs associated with the Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (NG) device and the Colli-Pee® device. The increase in research and development expenses is also due to additional severance charges associated with the Company's reduction in its workforce in February 2026.
Sales and marketing expenses decreasedincreased 1%4% to $6.8$6.6 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $6.9$6.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.
General and administrative expenses increased 3%14% to $14.6$14.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 from $14.1$12.7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 largely due to an increase in legal fees and in professional services related to the proxy statement and severancerelated charges.stockholder activism costs.
The Company recorded non-cash adjustments of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting the change in the estimated fair value of the Sherlock acquisition-related contingent consideration.
All of the above contributed to the Company's operating lossincome of $23.3$5.4 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, which included non-cash charges of $2.8$2.4 million for depreciation and amortization and $2.3 million for stock-based compensation, $2.3and $22.6 million forin depreciationnon-cash andincome amortization,reflected and $0.1 million forin the change in the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The Company's operating loss of $17.8$18.0 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 included non-cash charges of $2.7$3.2 million for stock-based compensation, $2.8$2.5 million for depreciation and amortization, and $0.5$0.7 million for the change in the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Other income for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was $1.5$1.4 million compared to $1.8$1.1 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The decreaseincrease in other income is due to lower interest income andoffset increasedby lower foreign currency losses.
The Company continues to believe the full valuation allowance established against its total U.S. and U.K. deferred tax asset is appropriate as the facts and circumstances necessitating the allowance have not changed. For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded income tax benefitsexpense of $0.4$0.1 million and $0.5$2.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had an effective tax rate of 0.8% and (11.8)%, respectively. The increase in the Company's tax rate was primarily due to the recording of a uncertain tax position in 2025 and projected break-even results in foreign operations in 2026 versus projected losses in 2025.
Results of Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025.
CONSOLIDATED NET REVENUES
The table below shows an outline of total consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
(1)Includes HIV, HCV, Syphilis, SickleSCAN® and SureQuick® product revenues.
(2)Includes Genomics, Microbiome, and Colli-Pee® product revenues.
(3)Includes substance abuse testing product revenues.
(4)Includes funded research and development contracts, royalty income, and grant revenues.
Product and Services Revenues
Consolidated net revenues decreased 4% to $58.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Sales of the Company's Diagnostics products decreased 2% to $36.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $36.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decline is primarily attributable to lower international HCV revenues driven by reduced reimbursement subsidies in the Asian market and a large order shipped into Africa in the second quarter of 2025 that did not recur. Domestic HCV revenues also declined as a result of a large customer's HCV testing programs ending and not being renewed, as well as reduced funding associated with other programs. In addition, domestic HIV revenues decreased due to lower purchases under the Together Take Me Home program partially offset by higher international revenues associated with timing of customer orders. These decreases were partially offset by higher syphilis sales driven by new customers in the women's health market and the inclusion of SickleSCAN® revenues, a new revenue stream acquired through the BioMedomics, Inc. acquisition completed in November 2025.
Sample Management Solutions revenues remained largely flat at $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
COVID-19 Diagnostics revenues decreased 96% to $19.0 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $485.0 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower overall demand for COVID-19 testing.
Risk Assessment testing revenues decreased to zero for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company discontinued this line of business at the end of 2024 and the business wound down in early 2025.
Non-Product and Services Revenues
Non-product and services revenues increased 6% to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase in funded R&D under certain BARDA contracts.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
Consolidated gross profit margin increased to 42.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 41.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The largest driver of the margin improvement is better absorption of fixed overhead costs due to operational efficiencies partially offset by higher scrap expense.
Consolidated operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $17.8 million, compared to a $35.8 million operating loss reported for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 benefited from a $22.5 million change in the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration but were negatively impacted by the decrease in revenues and by higher operating expenses.
Research and development expenses increased 10% to $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 largely due to higher spend incurred for clinical trials for the CT/NG and Colli-Pee® devices.
