Strong cash position and balance sheet
Ended Q1 2026 with $147.7M in cash and investments and no debt; company expects to end 2026 with at least $136M (excluding repurchases), providing financial flexibility for execution and the $10M share repurchase program authorized by the Board.
Significant operating expense reduction
Total operating expenses fell to $14.3M in Q1 2026 from $21.2M in Q1 2025, a reduction of ~$6.9M (~32.5%), reflecting restructuring and cost-efficiency actions implemented in 2025 and management's guidance that OpEx will remain near current levels (company expects ~ $60M OpEx for full-year 2026).
SPL milestones and royalty momentum
SPL program-related revenue was $3.4M in Q1 2026 (vs $2.1M in Q1 2025), including a $3.0M regulatory milestone tied to a customer that began dosing in a registrational study and $0.4M in royalty revenue — demonstrating tangible near-term SPL monetization.
Product launches and early traction (ExPERT DTX and SeQure)
Commercial launch of ExPERT DTX is progressing with early adoption across academic centers, biotech and large pharma and expected build in H2 2026; SeQure generated $0.6M revenue in Q1 2026 (reported as ~3x year-over-year growth from Q1 prior year) and is seeing new assay service agreements and customer engagement across ex‑vivo and in‑vivo programs.
Reaffirmed 2026 guidance
Management reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $30M–$32M (core revenue $25M–$27M and $5M SPL milestones & royalties), with core revenue expected to be weighted to the second half of the year.
Strong SPL partner pipeline and milestone opportunity
Company reports 29 SPL partners and 30+ programs in clinical and preclinical development; among 12 SPL programs currently in clinic the aggregate future pre-commercial milestone opportunity is ~ $100M and management highlighted five clinical programs with potential for near-term registrational/commercial milestones.
