Ron Bentsur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvectis, commented, "The start of 2025 has been eventful for us at Nuvectis as we continued to advance our two clinical programs." Mr. Bentsur continued, "Last week we provided the first clinical data update for NXP900 from the Phase 1a dose escalation "all comers" study, demonstrating a robust pharmacodynamic response and acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced cancers. We are approaching the conclusion of this portion of the Phase 1 program and are completing our preparations for the Phase 1b portion, into which patients with cancers harboring specific genetic alterations will be enrolled to evaluate, for the first time, the therapeutic potential of single agent NXP900 in target patients. In addition, we continue to advance the combination portion of the Phase 1b program, with recent AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) preclinical poster presentations highlighting the potential of NXP900 as a combination partner to market-leading EGFR and ALK kinase inhibitors, combinations aimed at overcoming acquired resistance to these treatments in non-small cell lung cancer. On the NXP800 side, enrollment into the Phase 1b study in patients with platinum resistant, ARID1a mutated ovarian cancer continues, and we expect to provide an update from this study in a couple of months." Mr. Bentsur concluded, "We are excited about the upcoming months with NXP900 entering the Phase 1b portion of its clinical development and believe that with the recent financing we have working capital to take us through key clinical development milestones and into 2027."

"We had a challenging first quarter of 2025 with strength in our prenatal and oncology MyRisk tests offset by softness in GeneSight and unaffected hereditary cancer tests. While we are actively working on initiatives to re-accelerate testing volumes, this will take time; therefore we are lowering our 2025 financial guidance. We are taking immediate steps to reduce overall expenditures while prioritizing investment in new product development and programs intended to drive revenue growth," said Sam Raha, President and CEO, of Myriad Genetics.

"As a new leadership team we are focused on unlocking Myriad Genetics’ potential by implementing a compelling strategy, strengthening our organizational capabilities, and improving execution."

Business Performance and Highlights
Oncology
The Oncology business delivered revenue of $77.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.
•First quarter 2025 hereditary cancer testing volume and revenue in Oncology grew 5% and 0% year-over-year, respectively, as MyRisk with RiskScore testing volume in the affected population grew 11% year-over-year. A year-over-year decrease in average revenue per hereditary cancer test in the first quarter 2025 was largely due to a difference in change in estimated revenue related to prior periods.
•First quarter 2025 Prolaris test revenue declined 2% year-over-year as Myriad Genetics continues to educate clinicians on how it believes the Prostate Cancer Guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) underscore the critical role of Myriad Genetics’ portfolio of offerings across the patient’s prostate cancer journey.
•New clinical data highlighting the performance of the Precise MRD test was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper) conference in April 2025 and additional clinical data will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) annual meeting in May 2025.
•Myriad continues to make progress and intends to commercially launch its first AI-driven prostate cancer test, in partnership with PATHOMIQ, by end of 2025.

Women’s Health
The Women’s Health business delivered revenue of $87.2 million in the first quarter of 2025.
•Prenatal testing revenue in the first quarter of 2025 grew 11% year-over-year reflecting growth across both carrier screen and non-invasive prenatal testing. First quarter saw positive early adoption of the mid-fourth quarter 2024 launch of the Prequel Early Gestational Age test.
•First quarter 2025 hereditary cancer testing revenue for the unaffected population decreased 4% year-over-year on stable volume as the company continues to develop and deploy its electronic medical records (EMR) efforts and further expand its breast cancer risk assessment programs across its current and new provider base.

Pharmacogenomics
GeneSight test revenue was $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. As anticipated, first quarter this test revenue was impacted by UnitedHealthcare’s decision to discontinue coverage of multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic testing, effective in the first quarter of 2025, as well as Myriad Genetics’ actions to streamline the Pharmacogenomics organization.

Financial Guidance
Myriad Genetics does not provide forward-looking guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for the measures on which it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are dependent on various factors, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, real estate optimization and transformation initiatives, certain litigation charges and loss contingencies, costs related to acquisitions/divestitures and the related amortization, impairment and related charges, depreciation, equity compensation, tax benefits, and other adjustments. For example, stock-based compensation may fluctuate based on the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in the company’s stock price. Any associated estimate of these items and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.
