Hologic (HOLX) has received CE Mark approval for its Affirm® Contrast Biopsy Software, a technology that combines contrast-enhanced diagnostic capabilities with lesion targeting for biopsy procedures. The software, which received FDA clearance in October 2020, integrates with Hologic's Selenia® Dimensions® and 3Dimensions™ systems.

The technology enables clinicians to target and acquire tissue samples in lesions identified through contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), particularly in cases where correlation may not be found using tomosynthesis or ultrasound. It offers an alternative to MRI-guided biopsy with reduced noise and shorter examination times, potentially improving patient experience while reducing costs.

This software is part of Hologic's comprehensive contrast mammography and biopsy portfolio, which includes the Affirm Upright Biopsy System and I-View® 2.0 Contrast-Enhanced Mammography Software.

Hologic (NASDAQ: HOLX) has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay, upgrading from its previous Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) status granted in May 2020. The test detects SARS-CoV-2 RNA from nasopharyngeal or nasal swab samples, offering a less invasive testing option through nasal swabs.

The assay utilizes Hologic's transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) chemistry and runs on the Panther system, capable of processing over 1,000 tests daily with initial results in under three hours. The company has also secured FDA clearances for several other respiratory tests, including the Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2/Flu A/B/RSV assay for various sample types.

Hologic (HOLX) reported Q1 fiscal 2025 financial results with revenue of $1,021.8 million, up 0.9% year-over-year. The company achieved GAAP EPS of $0.87 and Non-GAAP EPS of $1.03, reaching the high end of guidance.

Key performance metrics include: Diagnostics revenue increased 5.1% to $470.6 million, Breast Health revenue decreased 2.3% to $369.1 million, and Surgical revenue grew 2.5% to $166.3 million. The company maintained strong cash flow from operations at $189.3 million and repurchased 6.8 million shares for $517 million.

Due to currency headwinds and weakness in breast health capital sales, Hologic lowered its full-year revenue guidance to $4,050-$4,100 million but maintained its non-GAAP EPS guidance of $4.25-$4.35. The company completed the acquisition of Gynesonics for approximately $350 million on January 2, 2025.

Hologic's Global Women's Health Index reveals concerning trends in women's health worldwide. For the first time, cancer testing among women has declined to just 10%, dropping two percentage points from previous years. The report, based on interviews with over 146,000 people across 142 countries, shows that 38% of women faced food insecurity, while 32% struggled with shelter costs.

The global women's health score remains stagnant at 53 out of 100. Taiwan leads with 68, followed by Kuwait (67), Austria (66), and Switzerland (65). The US scored 60, ranking 37th globally. Key findings include increased rates of worry (42%) and sadness (30%) among women, with 35% feeling unsafe in their communities. The study also revealed low HIV testing rates globally at 6%, with some Middle Eastern and North African countries showing rates below 0.5%.

Hologic (HOLX) reported preliminary Q1 FY2025 revenues of $1,021.8 million, showing a 0.9% increase year-over-year, or 1.0% in constant currency.

Division performance showed mixed results: Diagnostics grew 5.1% to $470.6 million, with organic growth excluding COVID-19 at 9.0%. Breast Health declined 2.3% to $369.1 million, while GYN Surgical increased 2.5% to $166.3 million. Skeletal Health saw a significant decline of 37.8% to $15.8 million.
