Insights
Castle Biosciences' reported revenue growth of 60% signifies a robust financial performance, outpacing the industry's average growth rate. The substantial increase in test report volume by 59% is indicative of higher product adoption and market penetration. With year-end cash and securities at $243 million, the company exhibits a strong balance sheet, which could support further research and development, as well as potential strategic initiatives. These figures suggest a positive outlook for the company's operational sustainability and may influence investor confidence positively.
The clinical relevance of Castle Biosciences' DecisionDx-Melanoma test is underscored by the two critical peer-reviewed publications. The association of the test with improved patient outcomes, such as increased survival, is a significant value proposition in the precision medicine space. This could lead to increased adoption by healthcare providers, potentially expanding the company's market share. Furthermore, the test's unique position as the only melanoma prognostic test linked to improved survival may enhance its competitive edge and could be a catalyst for increased research and development investment in similar diagnostic technologies.
Castle Biosciences' expansion in the foundational dermatology business and the outpacing growth of the TissueCypher® Barrett’s Esophagus test reflects a strategic diversification within the diagnostic sector. By capitalizing on unmet needs in the market, the company has effectively broadened its revenue streams. This diversification, combined with the company's evidence-based approach to product development, positions it well to adapt to changing market demands and regulatory landscapes. It also suggests potential for the company to capture new segments within the diagnostic market, which could have a favorable impact on its future market position.

“2023 was another exceptional year, with strong top-line growth and test report volume growth, driven in large part by consistent execution by the entire Castle team,” said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer of Castle Biosciences. “I am extremely pleased with the continued success we saw from careful investments in our initiatives. We expanded our body of evidence, with data further demonstrating the potential of our tests to improve patient outcomes, including increased survival. In addition, our foundational dermatology business continued to expand solidly, and growth in our TissueCypher® Barrett’s Esophagus test outpaced our expectations.
“In our commitment to ongoing evidence development, we are exceptionally proud of the progress we have made regarding DecisionDx-Melanoma. The independent risk-stratification provided by this test has already been demonstrated in numerous retrospective and prospective studies, is supported with 50 peer-reviewed publications, and has been studied in more than 10,000 patients. In 2023, there were two critical peer-reviewed publications demonstrating an association with DecisionDx-Melanoma testing and improved patient outcomes. The first study demonstrated that testing with DecisionDx-Melanoma was associated with lower melanoma-specific and overall mortality relative to untested patients (Bailey et al.), and the second demonstrated that patients who received routine imaging after high-risk DecisionDx-Melanoma test scores had an earlier recurrence diagnosis with lower tumor burden, leading to better clinical outcomes, including improved overall survival (Dhillon et al.). DecisionDx-Melanoma is the only melanoma prognostic test shown to be associated with improved patient survival.
“We are optimistic about continued commercial momentum in 2024 and will continue to focus on the needs of the patients and clinicians who drive our business.”

Fourth Quarter and Recent Accomplishments and Highlights
Dermatology
-
DecisionDx-Melanoma: In December 2023, the Company announced the publication of a study in the Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology that assessed the viewpoints of nurse practitioners and physician assistants (NPs/PAs) toward the clinical use of DecisionDx-Melanoma in patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma (CM). The study found that more than
90% of the NPs/PAs who completed a survey about DecisionDx-Melanoma believe that prognostic (i.e., risk-stratification) information about a patient’s melanoma is valuable and improves patient care. See the Company’s news release from Dec. 1, 2023, for more information. - DecisionDx-Melanoma: In February 2024, the Company announced the publication of a study in Cancers demonstrating that DecisionDx-Melanoma provided significantly better risk stratification than American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th Edition (AJCC8) staging in patients with stage I CM. This study reports the results of two large stage I cohorts, including 5,561 patients from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program Registries. It supports incorporating the DecisionDx-Melanoma test into clinical practice to help clinicians and patients with stage I melanoma obtain more precise information about a patient’s risk of disease progression to inform more personalized, risk-aligned treatment and surveillance management plans.
-
DecisionDx-SCC: In January 2024, the Company announced the publication of a new study in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD), which found that guiding adjuvant radiation treatment (ART) using DecisionDx-SCC results can lead to substantial Medicare healthcare savings of up to approximately
$972 million - DecisionDx-SCC: In February 2024, the Company announced the publication of an expert consensus article in JCAD related to its DecisionDx-SCC test. The expert multidisciplinary panel included radiation oncologists and dermatologists/Mohs micrographic surgeons with expertise in SCC management and provides risk-based clinical recommendations and a workflow for use of ART in patients with high-risk SCC to control disease progression. The suggested workflow integrates DecisionDx-SCC testing and AJCC8 staging, based on clinicopathologic risk factors, with the current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines to improve precision in ART recommendations based on which patients are at the highest risk for metastasis and most likely to benefit from treatment.
- In February 2024, the Company was notified that a new study, titled “Inconsistent associations between risk factor profiles and adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) treatment in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and utility of the 40-gene expression profile to refine ART guidance,” was accepted for publication in Dermatology and Therapy. The study shows that including tumor biology-based risk stratification from the DecisionDx-SCC test in ART decisions can refine risk and identify appropriate SCC patients who are likely to benefit from ART treatment, as well as those who can consider deferring it.
- In February 2024, the Company was notified that a new study, titled “Integrating the 40-gene expression profile (40-GEP) test improves metastatic risk-stratification within clinically relevant subgroups of high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) patients,” was accepted for publication in Dermatology and Therapy. The study of 897 patients analyzed the independent performance of DecisionDx-SCC from risk factors and staging systems, and demonstrated improved predictive accuracy when integrated with the NCCN, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and AJCC8 clinicopathologic risk assessment systems to significantly enhance risk-aligned treatment for patients.
Gastroenterology
- In October 2023, the Company announced new data demonstrating the significant clinical utility of its TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus test in guiding risk-aligned upstaging of care for patients with non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (BE) at a higher risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia or esophageal adenocarcinoma than indicated by their clinicopathologic risk factors. See the Company’s news release from Oct. 2, 2023, for more information.
Mental Health
- In November 2023, the Company announced data from a single-site, open-label study demonstrating the consistent impact of IDgenetix on medication response and remission rates in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The study found that real-world patient outcomes were strongly aligned to the results of a previously published randomized controlled trial that demonstrated IDgenetix-guided medication management significantly improved response and remission rates for patients with MDD. See the Company’s news release from Nov. 8, 2023, for more information.
Pipeline Initiatives
- Uveal Melanoma: In November 2023, the Company announced new discovery data from an ongoing study exploring the potential for developing a minimally invasive test, complementary to DecisionDx-UM, to evaluate small, suspicious lesions of uncertain malignant potential in patients’ eyes. See the Company’s news release from Nov. 3, 2023, for more information.
- Inflammatory Skin Disease: In November 2023, the Company announced new data showing the ability of its pipeline test in development to distinguish between responders and non-responders to an atopic dermatitis (AD) therapy and also distinguish between AD, psoriasis (PSO) and mycosis fungoides (MF) skin lesions. Additional updates regarding development of this pipeline program are expected in 2024. See the Company’s news release from Nov. 2, 2023, for more information.
Corporate
- In November 2023, the Company announced that it was named a Houston Chronicle Top Workplace for the third year in a row and awarded three new Culture Excellence awards, recognizing the Company in the areas of Employee Appreciation, Employee Well-Being and Professional Development. See the Company’s news release from Nov. 13, 2023, for more information.
- In January 2024, the Company announced that its chief operating officer, Kristen Oelschlager, was named to The Healthcare Technology Report’s Top 25 Women Leaders in Biotechnology of 2023. The honorees “stand as a driving force, ensuring diverse perspectives on scientific breakthroughs and groundbreaking therapies,” according to the publication. See the Company’s news release from Jan. 9, 2024, for more information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (UNAUDITED)
In this release, we use the metrics of Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures and are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
We use Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA internally because we believe these metrics provide useful supplemental information in assessing our revenue and operating performance reported in accordance with GAAP, respectively. We believe that Adjusted Revenues, when used in conjunction with our test report volume information, facilitates investors’ analysis of our current-period revenue performance and average selling price performance by excluding the effects of revenue adjustments related to test reports delivered in prior periods, since these adjustments may not be indicative of the current or future performance of our business. We believe that providing Adjusted Revenues may also help facilitate comparisons to our historical periods. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated using Adjusted Revenues and therefore excludes the impact of revenue adjustments related to test reports delivered in prior periods, which we believe is useful to investors as described above. We further exclude acquisition-related intangible asset amortization in the calculation of Adjusted Gross Margin. We believe that excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization may facilitate gross margin comparisons to historical periods and may be useful in assessing current-period performance without regard to the historical accounting valuations of intangible assets, which are applicable only to tests we acquired rather than internally developed. We believe Adjusted EBITDA may enhance an evaluation of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of prior decisions made about capital investment, financing, investing and certain expenses we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when the same or similarly titled terms are used to identify such measures, limiting their usefulness for comparative purposes.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or used as substitutes for net revenues, gross margin or net loss reported in accordance with GAAP; should be considered in conjunction with our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; are unaudited; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of these non-GAAP financial measures, and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of these non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of adjustments to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measure as used by us in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables at the end of this release.
