Operating expenses declined 3.2% to RMB115.8 million, as R&D spending fell 37.3%, partly offset by higher selling and marketing and G&A costs. Net loss widened to RMB18.4 million. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were RMB419.1 million as of June 30, 2026. Several NGS kits entered CMDE Priority Review or Special Review procedures in China, and another liquid kit application was resubmitted and accepted.

Key Terms

next-generation sequencing, non-gaap
2 terms
next-generation sequencing technical
"a company focused on the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology"
Next-generation sequencing is a set of laboratory techniques that read large amounts of DNA or RNA quickly and cheaply by processing millions of short genetic fragments in parallel, rather than one at a time. For investors, it matters because faster, lower-cost genetic data powers drug discovery, diagnostic tests and personalized medicine, creating scalable revenue opportunities and competitive advantages for companies that own the technology or services.
non-gaap financial
"For more details on these non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

These statements constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Burning Rock may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the SEC, in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Burning Rock’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon management’s current expectations and current market and operating conditions, and relate to events that involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Burning Rock’s control.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance and formulate business plans. However, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

The Company defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding depreciation and amortization. The Company defines non-GAAP gross margin as non-GAAP gross profit divided by its revenue.

The Company believes presenting non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin excluding non-cash impact of depreciation and amortization, in addition to the Company’s GAAP gross profit and gross margin, provides a better understanding of the underlying trends in the Company’s operating business performance.

Reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are set forth at the end of this press release, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance.
