CEO Commentary

"Our performance in 2025 was transformative, demonstrated by 400% year-over-year clinical volume growth and pivotal Medicare coverage for breast and lung cancer," said Chris Hall, Chief Executive Officer and President. "We enter 2026 with a fortified balance sheet of approximately $240 million in cash, which allows us to expand our investments in our 'Win-in-MRD' strategy. While we are in the early stages of reimbursement, we are driving volume now to secure long-term market leadership. We expect 2026 to be a year of rapid commercial expansion, with clinical revenue projected to grow approximately five-fold as we operationalize our recent coverage wins."

Personalis expects the following for the full year of 2026:

Total company revenue in the range of $78.0 to $80.0 million.
Clinical revenue of $10.0 to $11.0 million, including Medicare reimbursement from breast and lung cancer surveillance; clinical volume expected to be in the range of 43,000 to 45,000 tests.
Revenue from pharma testing services and all other customers in the range of $55.0 to $56.0 million.
Revenue from population sequencing and enterprise sales of approximately $13.0 million.
Gross margin in the range of 15% to 20%, reflecting the strategic decision to accelerate clinical volume adoption ahead of full reimbursement coverage to establish market share.
Net loss of approximately $105.0 million.
Cash usage of approximately $100.0 million, driven by commercial investments to support the projected 5x clinical revenue growth.
