2025 Highlights

● Record CyPath Lung Revenue and Unit Sales. Revenue from our noninvasive diagnostic for lung cancer increased 87% over 2024 with the number of tests performed rising 99% year over year, reflecting growing clinical utilization and validating the first phase of our commercialization strategy. The Company’s strategic decision to discontinue unprofitable pathology services and reallocate resources to the commercialization of CyPath Lung led to a 34% decrease in total revenue and a 9% decrease in operating expenses compared to 2024, respectively.

● Expanded Physician Network. The number of physician offices and clinics ordering CyPath Lung for their patients increased 67% over 2024. We expect the trend to accelerate in 2026 as we expand our sales force into new markets. Peer-to-peer physician engagement remains a key driver of growth. Compelling patient case studies and key opinion leaders (KOLs) who are sharing their clinical experience are building awareness and clinical adoption of CyPath Lung.

● Leadership Appointments. Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, joined bioAffinity Technologies as Chief Medical Officer, bringing more than three decades of experience in pulmonary medicine, clinical research, medical innovation, and interventional pulmonology to the role. Roberto Rios, CPA, and John J. Oppenheimer, MD, were appointed to the Board of Directors in 2025. Mr. Rios has more than four decades of executive leadership experience in corporate finance and governance across industries including biotechnology and medical devices. Dr. Oppenheimer is a recognized leader in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma and COPD and directs clinical research in lung health while also teaching at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Rutgers.

● Successful Financings. The Company raised approximately $16.9 million in gross proceeds during 2025 from equity transactions to fund CyPath Lung clinical development, commercialization, and operational expansion.

● CyPath Lung-Centered Performance. Through targeted operational streamlining and the discontinuation of certain unprofitable pathology services at our laboratory, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services (PPLS), we positioned CyPath Lung as the core driver of long-term shareholder value. While these actions contributed to lower consolidated revenue in the short term, they improved operating focus and cost structure and are intended to position our noninvasive lung cancer diagnostic for scalable growth and improved long-term margin potential.

● Innovation Pipeline Progress. Research and development continued on diagnostic tests for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma that build on our expertise in using sputum as a sample for flow cytometric analysis. Research is focused on detecting specific receptors in sputum to guide personalized treatment and identify patients likely to benefit from emerging targeted therapies. Asthma and COPD impact approximately 650 million children and adults globally.1 We expect to begin patient studies in 2026.

● Expanded Global Intellectual Property Portfolio. During 2025, we strengthened our intellectual property portfolio supporting CyPath Lung and our broader flow cytometry platform through multiple patent allowances and acceptances. These included notification of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for our diagnostic algorithm and test method, patent allowances in Canada and China covering flow cytometry-based lung cancer detection methods, and acceptance of patent applications in Australia related to early-stage lung cancer detection and multi-disease lung health assessment. These developments further expand international protection of our diagnostic technology and support our long-term commercialization strategy.

Management Commentary

"2025 was a transformational year for bioAffinity Technologies. We took deliberate actions to streamline operations at PPLS and align our resources behind the national expansion of CyPath Lung," said Maria Zannes, bioAffinity President and Chief Executive Officer. "While these actions contributed to a decrease in consolidated revenue, we believe that the Company is now better positioned to leverage revenue generated from the profitable testing services performed in our lab. Importantly, revenue for our core value driver, CyPath Lung, increased 87% year over year, reflecting continued physician adoption and growing clinical utilization.

"The work we accomplished in 2025 was intentional and strategic. We strengthened our capital base, removed unprofitable legacy services from PPLS services and concentrated on high-value diagnostics. The launch of our longitudinal trial and our ongoing integration into the military healthcare system are both significant milestones that support our strategy of establishing CyPath Lung as a standard of care for indeterminate pulmonary nodules and a tool for surveillance after cancer treatment.

"Every day, we hear from practitioners who confirm the need for noninvasive, accurate lung cancer diagnostics, particularly when imaging and risk models are inconclusive or turn out to be wrong. CyPath Lung remains our first priority. It is a gamechanger that provides clinical confidence for physicians and better outcomes for patients. We believe our focus on improving care for patients at risk for lung cancer and other pulmonary diseases will create long-term value for our shareholders."

2026 Outlook

● Financial Outlook. bioAffinity entered 2026 with strong momentum, building on a year of increased sales and revenue growth and positioning the Company for continued expansion in the lung cancer diagnostics market. Our forecast for unit sales of CyPath Lung reflects an increase of greater than 100% over 2025, with a corresponding increase in revenues for our noninvasive lung cancer diagnostic. We will continue to expand our market both geographically and by the number of physicians and medical facilities adding CyPath Lung to the diagnostic pathway for patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules and to post-treatment care for surveillance of lung cancer survivors.

● Market Opportunity. Consistent with estimates from the US Preventive Services Task Force, the number of indeterminate pulmonary nodules detected in the U.S. through lung cancer screening and incidental imaging is projected to grow 62% from 2.9 million in 2025 to 4.7 million in 2030, representing an estimated market opportunity exceeding $4.7 billion for CyPath Lung. The forecast assumes 10% compound annual growth from 2024–2030, driven by increased lung cancer screening adoption, improved adherence to screening guidelines, and enhanced detection through AI-enabled imaging tools. Another market opportunity opening up for CyPath Lung is its potential to improve post-treatment surveillance for lung cancer survivors. The number of Americans living with lung cancer is projected to increase 28% from 680,450 in 2025 to 871,580 in 20352, representing an estimated $870 million market opportunity over the next decade.

● CyPath Lung Longitudinal Trial. In March 2026, we enrolled the first patient in our longitudinal study evaluating CyPath Lung as a noninvasive diagnostic for high-risk patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules. The trial plans to enroll up to 2,000 patients across 17 Veterans Administration (VA), military, academic, and private medical centers and will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the test over a follow-up period of up to two years. The John P. Murtha Cancer Center Research Program (MCCRP), a research program within the Department of Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, is providing support and funding associated with the trial at several federal facilities. This study is intended to provide additional clinical validation to support broader adoption in federal and commercial markets.

● Military Research Collaboration to Expand Sample Collection Options for CyPath Lung. In February 2026, we announced a collaboration with Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) to evaluate the use of CyPath Lung on sputum samples obtained via tracheal and bronchial suctioning during bronchoscopy. This study is designed to assess the clinical utility of CyPath Lung for earlier detection of lung cancer in patients undergoing standard bronchoscopy procedures, potentially expanding the test’s applicability to a larger patient population and increasing integration into pulmonology workflows.

● Real-World Case Studies Validate CyPath Lung. The Company released 10 patient case studies in 2025 including multiple cases in which CyPath Lung detected curative Stage 1A lung cancer. In February 2026, we released two new real-world clinical cases in which a negative CyPath Lung test result supported the physician’s decision to continue monitoring high-risk patients with indeterminate nodules through noninvasive surveillance. CyPath Lung guided physician decision-making and reduced the burden on the patients by easing anxiety and helping them avoid additional invasive, costly and often risky procedures. The body of clinical evidence behind CyPath Lung and real-world case studies continues to grow.

● Positive Findings Presented at AAAAI on Expansion of Platform Technology to Asthma. In February 2026, the Company presented research on the ability of our innovative diagnostic platform to identify antibody drug receptors in sputum, including receptors for dupilumab, a leading therapy for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and benralizumab, another asthma therapy. The research supports advancement of the Company’s pipeline tests aimed at guiding personalized treatment decisions and improving disease monitoring for asthma and COPD sufferers.

2025 Financial Results
