Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Total revenue was $181.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $100.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $81.3 million, or 81.3%.
The increase in total revenue was driven primarily by an 85.9% growth in molecular profiling services revenue, which was $162.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $87.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in molecular profiling services revenue was primarily driven by an increase in total clinical case volume and ASP improvements across both therapy selection solutions.
Gross profit, calculated as total revenue less cost of services, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, was $113.7 million and $37.6 million, respectively, representing a gross margin of 62.7% and 37.5%, respectively.
Operating expenses were $131.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $104.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $27.1 million, or 25.9%. The increase was primarily driven by increased stock-based compensation expense and headcount-related costs.
Net loss was $71.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which includes $37.1 million one-time expense associated with the conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes from the initial public offering, as compared to $66.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted which includes a one-time deemed dividend of $384.4 million and one-time adjustments of redeemable convertible stock to redemption value of $61.0 million, was $7.97 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $2.54 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $62.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a 111.6% improvement. The improvement was driven by improved reimbursement from molecular profiling services, including one-time catch up payments of $35.6 million related to first quarter 2025 MI Cancer seek cases.
2025 Financial Outlook and Guidance
Caris Life Sciences expects full year 2025 revenue to be in the range of $675.0 million to $685.0 million, representing growth of 64% to 66% compared to full year 2024. Clinical therapy selection volume is expected to be in the growth range of 19% to 21% compared to full year 2024.
