BRISBANE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNA) – The Transplant Company™ focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers – today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights and Other Recent Updates

• CareDx received the industry’s first and only multimodal MolDX approval in transplant with HeartCare for Medicare patients.
• CareDx received the industry’s first and only donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) MolDX approval for lung transplant patients with AlloSure^® Lung for Medicare patients.
• Reported revenue of $70.3 million, a decrease of 13% year-over-year due to the impact of the Medicare Billing Article revisions.
• Reported testing services revenue of $53.4 million, a decrease of 20% year-over-year. Achieved growth in non-testing services business with revenues of $9.0 million for Patient and Digital Solutions and $7.9 million for Products, representing year-over-year growth of 33% and 17% respectively.
• Achieved over 80% adoption of new test requisition forms (TRFs) by the end of June, two quarters ahead of target.
• Delivered approximately 37,500 patient test results for AlloMap^® and AlloSure, a decline of approximately 17% year-over-year, driven by the impact of the Medicare Billing Article revisions and operational adjustments required of customers.
• Collected over $20.0 million in incremental cash, driven by cash collections at 110% of revenue for testing services in the last three quarters.
• Maintained strong balance sheet with $283 million of cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, with no debt.

“We are proud to continue our transplant innovation leadership, as the first and only company to receive Medicare coverage for multimodality in transplantation with HeartCare, and dd-cfDNA in lung with AlloSure Lung,” said Reg Seeto, CEO and President of CareDx. “A key focus for the second quarter was operational execution of the Billing Article revisions and we are pleased to achieve over 80 percent adoption rate for our new TRFs, well ahead of target.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $70.3 million, a decrease of 13% compared with $80.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Testing services revenue for the quarter was $53.4 million, compared with $67.1 million in the same period in 2022. This includes approximately $7.8 million in revenue associated with AlloSure Kidney Medicare tests that the company did not submit for reimbursement in the first quarter of 2023.

Total AlloSure and AlloMap patient results provided in the quarter were approximately 37,500, representing a decrease of approximately 17% as compared to the same quarter a year ago, and primarily attributable to the impact of the Medicare Billing Article revisions on AlloSure Kidney testing volumes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CareDx has presented in this release certain financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and also on a non-GAAP basis, including non-GAAP cost of testing services, non-GAAP cost of product, non-GAAP cost of patient and digital solutions, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP income tax expense, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin (%), non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted revenue from testing services, and adjusted total revenue. We define non-GAAP net loss and per share results as the GAAP net loss and per share results excluding the impacts of stock-based compensation; changes in estimated fair value of contingent consideration; acquisition-related impairment charges and amortization of purchased intangible assets and related tax effects; costs involved with completing an acquisition; unrealized loss on investments; restructuring charges and certain other charges. We define adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP net loss before net interest income, income tax benefit, depreciation and other expense, net. This release also contains adjusted revenue from testing services, which was prepared on a non-GAAP basis that excludes the $7.8 million revenue associated with the recognized AlloSure Kidney Medicare claims. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in assessing our operating results through the eyes of management and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core business operating results over multiple periods. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with CareDx’s GAAP financial statements, because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of CareDx’s operating results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided immediately following the financial tables.
