The primary engine behind the revenue strength was the explosive ramp of Shield, the company's colorectal cancer screening blood test, which generated $35.13 million in the quarter versus just $4.12 million a year earlier as test volumes surged to roughly 38,000 from 6,400, a commercial acceleration underscored by a nationwide mobile screening tour aimed at broadening access in underserved communities. Oncology testing also contributed meaningfully, with Q4 revenue climbing 30% to $189.95 million on approximately 79,000 tests. Looking ahead, management guided 2026 total revenue of $1.25 billion to $1.28 billion, representing 27% to 30% growth, with Shield volume expected to roughly double to 210,000 to 225,000 tests and free cash flow burn narrowing to $185 million to $195 million from $233 million in 2025.
Key Takeaways
- • Oncology test volume grew 38% year-over-year to approximately 79,000 tests in Q4
- • Shield screening tests grew to approximately 38,000 from 6,400 in the prior year quarter
- • Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 66% from 63% in Q4 2024
