In its first quarter of 2025, Standard BioTools reported a revenue of $40.8 million, reflecting a 10% decline from the previous year. Despite this, the company achieved a 45% reduction in operating loss and a 29% improvement in adjusted EBITDA year-over-year, highlighting effective cost management and strategic execution. Key financial metrics include a strong balance sheet with $261 million in cash and no material debt, alongside a significant decrease in operating expenses due to merger synergies and productivity gains.
