2025 Financial Outlook
The company is raising full-year 2025 testing revenue guidance to $484 million to $487 million, or 16% year-over-year growth, from prior guidance of $477 million to $483 million. Adjusting for the impact of the paused Envisia test, the guidance implies 17% to 18% year-over-year testing revenue growth. The company is also raising full-year 2025 total revenue guidance to $506 million to $510 million, or 14% year-over-year growth, from prior guidance of $496 million to $504 million.
Additionally, the company is raising guidance for 2025 adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue to over 25% from the 23.5% prior guidance.
The company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue 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, that are dependent on various factors, are out of the company’s control, or that cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses, and other adjustments. Any associated estimate of these items and their impact on GAAP performance for the guidance period could vary materially.
