INTERPACE BIOSCIENCES, INC. (IDXG)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q1 2025 revenue grew 13% year over year to $11.515M with gross margin expanding to 64% (from 62%), and operating income more than 60% higher to $1.829M; Adjusted EBITDA rose to $2.096M, reflecting continued efficiency gains and collections execution .
- Management initiated FY 2025 revenue guidance of approximately $38M, explicitly accounting for the loss of PancraGEN® reimbursement after May 2, 2025; the company expects to remain profitable as a thyroid-focused business, supported by record thyroid revenue ($8.0M, +19% YoY) and volume (+16% YoY) in Q1 .
- A material accounting restatement was disclosed on March 6, 2025 to reverse previously accrued royalty expenses (no material effect expected on revenues/cash flow), and a related material weakness in controls was identified—an overhang to monitor as remediation progresses .
- No Wall Street consensus estimates (S&P Global) were available for Q1 revenue or EPS; trading catalysts revolve around the PancraGEN reimbursement termination, new FY25 revenue guide, and the restatement/control update .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Record thyroid performance: thyroid revenue reached $8.0M (+19% YoY) with test volume up 16% YoY, driving overall growth and mix resilience as PancraGEN winds down .
- Collections and profitability: cash collections hit $11.3M (+10% YoY), gross margin expanded to 64% (from 62%), operating income rose to $1.829M, and Adjusted EBITDA reached $2.096M .
- Strategic execution and automation: “The cash position of the Company allowed for additional investments in lab operational efficiency, driven by our AI and automation digital strategy, while simultaneously improving income from continuing operations.” — CFO Chris McCarthy .
-
What Went Wrong
- PancraGEN reimbursement eliminated: CMS/Novitas finalized an LCD ending PancraGEN reimbursement; Interpace stopped accepting specimens after May 2, 2025 and is restructuring around thyroid—management still expects profitability, but test portfolio diversification declines near term .
- Accounting restatement and control weakness: the company will restate prior periods to reverse accrued royalty expenses and reported a material weakness in ICFR related to accrual assessment—an optics and governance headwind until remediation is complete .
- Dilution overhang: diluted weighted average shares surged to 27.704M vs 4.384M a year ago, dragging diluted EPS from continuing operations to $0.06 despite strong operating progress (basic EPS from continuing ops was $0.40) .

- “The cash position of the Company allowed for additional investments in lab operational efficiency, driven by our AI and automation digital strategy, while simultaneously improving income from continuing operations… Based on our Q1 performance and current outlook, despite the loss of PancraGEN revenue after May 2, 2025, we are initiating full-year 2025 revenue guidance of approximately $38 million.” — Chris McCarthy, CFO .
- “Despite the uncertainty of PancraGEN reimbursement, Q1 2025 represented another quarter of year-over- year double digit volume and revenue growth… These historical trends have established a new foundation and expectation for companies in the diagnostics industry and the patients they serve.” — Tom Burnell, President & CEO .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Core growth intact: Record thyroid revenue ($8.0M, +19% YoY) and volume (+16% YoY) underscore a durable growth engine as the business pivots away from PancraGEN .
- Margin execution: Gross margin expanded to 64% (from 62%), operating income rose to $1.829M, and Adjusted EBITDA to $2.096M—demonstrating operating leverage and collections-driven efficiency .
- Guidance signals impact from PancraGEN exit: Annualizing Q1 revenue implies a ~$46M run-rate, but FY25 revenue guidance is ~$38M—management is proactively resetting expectations to account for PancraGEN reimbursement loss while aiming to remain profitable as a thyroid-focused business .
- Accounting overhang: Restatement of accrued royalties and a material weakness in internal controls introduce governance risk; management indicates no material revenue or cash flow impact expected, but remediation milestones will matter for sentiment .
- Balance sheet trending better but liquidity tight: Cash fell to $1.196M at quarter-end, while current and total liabilities declined, reflecting continued debt paydown; monitor cash generation consistency and financing flexibility .
- Dilution sensitivity: The large gap between basic and diluted share counts (4.420M vs 27.704M) depresses diluted EPS, a factor to incorporate in per-share modeling and potential future capital actions .
- Near-term trading setup: Expect focus on thyroid growth durability, execution on AI/automation efficiencies, and visibility on restatement remediation; LCD resolution and FY25 revenue guide are the dominant narrative drivers near term .
