Fulgent Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Key Terms

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

non-gaap financial

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.

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

operating margin financial

Operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities after paying for costs like wages and materials. It’s useful because it tells you how efficiently a company is running—higher margins mean it keeps more money from each dollar of sales, which can indicate better management or stronger products.

gross margin financial

Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.

equity-based compensation financial

Equity-based compensation is pay given to employees or contractors in the form of company ownership—such as stock, stock options, or restricted shares—instead of or in addition to cash. It matters to investors because it aligns workers’ interests with shareholders (like giving employees a slice of the company pie), but can also dilute existing owners and appears as a real cost on financial statements, affecting earnings and share value.

impairment loss financial

An impairment loss is an accounting write-down recorded when an asset’s recorded value on the books is higher than what the company can realistically recover from using or selling it. Think of it like admitting a used car is worth much less than the loan balance and adjusting the records to match the true value; for investors, impairment losses reduce reported profits and net assets, can signal weaker future cash flow from that asset, and may affect covenants and valuation.

• Revenue of $83.3 million, growing 9% year-over-year

• GAAP loss of $23.4 million, or ($0.76) per share; Non-GAAP income of $5.2 million, or $0.16 per share
• Ended the year with $705.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities, excluding an anticipated tax refund of approximately $106.3 million

EL MONTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fulgent Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLGT) (“Fulgent,” or the “Company”), a technology-based company with a well-established laboratory services business and a therapeutic development business, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results:

• Revenue of $83.3 million, growing 9% year-over-year
• GAAP loss of $23.4 million, or ($0.76) per share
• Non-GAAP income of $5.2 million, or $0.16 per share
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $4.5 million

Full Year 2025 Results:

• Revenue of $322.7 million, growing 14% year-over-year
• GAAP loss of $60.5 million, or ($1.97) per share
• Non-GAAP income of $13.2 million, or $0.42 per share
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $9.4 million

Non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and margin, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, are described below under “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, GAAP income (loss), GAAP gross profit and margin, and GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, in the accompanying tables.

Ming Hsieh, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with the progress we made in 2025 as we delivered on our strategic and product innovation roadmap. The laboratory services business sustained momentum, and the business is benefiting from the investments we made in AI and digital pathology solutions. We also accelerated progress on our therapeutic development pipeline in 2025 for both clinical candidates, as FID-007 advanced through Phase 2 and FID-022 is progressing through Phase 1. We expect continued progress this year, and we believe the strategic investments we have made in our technology and capabilities will have a significant impact over the long term as we strive to expand our market reach.”

Paul Kim, Chief Financial Officer, said, “In 2025, we demonstrated strong momentum as we delivered growth in our laboratory services business and drove margin improvements due to streamlined operations and enhanced efficiencies. As we look to 2026, our revenue guidance reflects the impact of our largest customer moving a significant volume of its work in-house, but we believe the strategic initiatives we have made coupled with potential contribution from the acquisition of Bako and Strata Dx will help partially or fully offset this impact in the second half of the year. We have a strong cash position, and believe we are well positioned for longer term growth.”

Outlook:

For the full year 2026, Fulgent expects:

• Revenue of approximately $350.0 million
• Non-GAAP loss of approximately ($1.45) per share
• Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities of approximately $685.0 million *

*Cash expenditures may be higher or lower than currently estimated due to a variety of factors and circumstances, including as a result of the Company’s ongoing stock repurchase program, or other expenditures outside the ordinary course of business, including M&A. This number further assumes receipt of approximately $106 million in tax refunds prior to December 31, 2026, which have been delayed as a result of the government shutdown in the fourth quarter of 2025, and assumes the Bako and StrataDx acquisition of $56 million, capital purchases of $12 million, and spend on the therapeutic development business of $26 million.

Conference Call Information

Fulgent will host a conference call for the investment community today at 8:30 AM ET (5:30 AM PT) to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results. The call may be accessed through a live audio webcast in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website, http://ir.fulgentgenetics.com. An audio replay will be available at the same location.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain information set forth in this press release and/or to be discussed on the Company’s earnings call, including non-GAAP income (loss), non-GAAP income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA income (loss), non-GAAP gross profit and margin, and non-GAAP operating income (loss) and margin, are non-GAAP financial measures. Fulgent believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the performance of the Company’s business, excluding certain income or expense items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company’s operating results. Fulgent defines non-GAAP income (loss) as net income (loss) calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, plus amortization of intangible assets, plus equity-based compensation expenses, plus impairment loss of investments, plus acquisition-related costs, which include one-time banker fee, legal, valuation, due diligence, and closing costs, plus one-time professional liability expense, plus or minus the non-GAAP tax effect, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s operations. The non-GAAP tax effect was calculated by excluding from the GAAP provision the impact of the amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation expenses, impairment loss of investments, acquisition-related costs, and a one-time professional liability expense. Fulgent defines adjusted EBITDA income (loss) as GAAP income (loss) plus or minus interest (expense) income, plus or minus provisions (benefits) for income taxes, plus equity-based compensation expenses, plus insurance expense related to transferable tax credits, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment loss of investments, plus acquisition-related costs, plus one-time professional liability expense, and plus or minus other charges or gains, as identified, that management believes are not representative of the Company’s operations. Fulgent defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP plus equity-based compensation included in cost of revenue as shown in the table below. Fulgent defines non-GAAP gross margin by taking non-GAAP gross profit and dividing it by GAAP revenue. Fulgent defines non-GAAP operating profit (loss) by taking GAAP operating profit (loss) and adding equity-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, and a one-time professional liability expense. Non-GAAP operating margin is calculated by taking non-GAAP operating profit (loss) and dividing it by GAAP revenue. Fulgent may continue to incur expenses similar to the items added to or subtracted from the GAAP financial measures, and, accordingly, the exclusion of these items in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an implication that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and for internal planning and budgeting. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in conformity with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by Fulgent may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics reported by other companies. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because the information necessary to calculate such reconciliations is unavailable on a forward‑looking basis without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amounts of items that would be included in the GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, equity‑based compensation, tax effects, acquisition‑related items, one-time professional liability expense, and potential impairments, any of which could be material. The Company is also unable to predict the probable significance of such items.
