Key Terms

next-generation sequencing, ngs, precision oncology, ctdna, +4 more
8 terms
next-generation sequencing medical
"focused on the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in the field"
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.
ngs medical
"application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in the field of precision"
A laboratory method that reads large amounts of DNA or RNA quickly to identify genetic differences, mutations, or microbes, similar to scanning many pages of a book at once to find important words. Investors care because it drives diagnostics, drug discovery and personalized treatments, can create recurring revenue from testing services and instruments, and influences regulatory approvals, partnerships and market value in biotech and healthcare companies.
precision oncology medical
"technology in the field of precision oncology, today reported unaudited financial results"
Precision oncology uses detailed biological information from a patient’s tumor—like genetic changes or specific markers—to choose treatments most likely to work for that individual, much like tailoring a suit to a person’s measurements instead of selling one-size-fits-all clothing. It matters to investors because these targeted approaches can improve treatment success, support premium pricing and companion diagnostic tests, and shorten development and approval timelines, creating focused markets with both higher potential returns and specialized risks.
ctdna medical
""ctDNA-based MRD detected by CanCatch® Custom associates with recurrence in CRC."
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is tiny fragments of genetic material shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream, like breadcrumbs that can reveal a tumor’s presence and genetic makeup without needing a biopsy. For investors, ctDNA matters because tests and technologies that detect and analyze these fragments can speed diagnosis, track treatment response, and signal relapse, creating commercial opportunities in diagnostics, personalized therapies, and monitoring services.
mrd medical
""ctDNA-based MRD detected by CanCatch® Custom associates with recurrence in CRC."
MRD stands for minimal residual disease, the tiny number of cancer cells that can remain in the body after treatment and that may not show up on routine scans. Detecting MRD is like finding a few seeds left in a garden after clearing: it helps doctors predict the chance of relapse and measure how effective a therapy is, which investors watch because MRD results can influence clinical trial success, regulatory decisions, and a drug’s market potential.
dfs medical
"Custom outperforms TIFP and TNFP in the association of DFS."OncoScreen® BCMatch"
Disease-free survival (DFS) is a clinical-trial measure that counts how long patients remain free of signs or return of a disease after treatment. Investors use DFS to judge whether a therapy is working beyond immediate responses — like timing how long a repaired roof stays leak-free after fixes — because stronger, longer DFS can signal a more effective treatment, better market potential and clearer paths to approval or reimbursement.
non-gaap financial
"Non-GAAP gross profit, which excludes depreciation and amortization expenses, was"
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.
share-based compensation financial
"a decrease in amortized expense on share-based compensation; (ii) a decrease in the"
Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.

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.
