MADISON, Wis., Feb. 13, 2026 — Exact Sciences Corp. (Nasdaq: EXAS), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced that the Company generated revenue of $878 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $3.25 billion for the full year of 2025, both ended December 31, 2025.
“In 2025 the Exact Sciences team delivered on our mission by screening more people than ever before, helping guide more personalized treatment decisions, and successfully launching three new tests,” said Kevin Conroy, Chairman and CEO of Exact Sciences. “These defining milestones show what the Exact Sciences team can achieve through a relentless focus on our mission and a dedication to improving the lives of patients. As we look to the future, momentum continues to build. Our core products are driving strong growth, our portfolio is expanding, and we are uniquely positioned to drive lasting change in the way cancer is found and treated globally.”
Fourth quarter 2025 financial results
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of 2024 (where applicable):
Total revenue was $878 million, an increase of 23% on a reported and core revenue basis
Screening revenue was $695 million, an increase of 26%
Precision Oncology revenue was $183 million, an increase of 14%, or 16% on a core revenue basis
Gross margin was 70% and adjusted gross margin was 73%
Net loss was $86 million, or $0.45 per share, compared to a net loss of $49.8 million, or $0.27 per share
Adjusted EBITDA was $63 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 7%. As previously announced, adjusted EBITDA was impacted by an R&D expense of $75.0 million related to our collaboration and license agreement with Freenome Holdings, Inc. in the fourth quarter
Operating cash flow was $152 million and free cash flow was $120 million in the fourth quarter, an improvement of $105 million and $110 million, respectively
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $965 million at the end of the quarter
Screening primarily includes laboratory service revenue from Cologuard® tests and PreventionGenetics. Precision Oncology includes laboratory service revenue from global Oncotype DX® and therapy selection tests.



Platform and pipeline advancements
In the fourth quarter, Exact Sciences announced the first clinical study results from its Oncodetect® molecular residual disease test in breast cancer. Findings from the NSABP B-59 substudy, conducted in collaboration with the NSABP Foundation and the German Breast Group, demonstrated that the Oncodetect test strongly predicts distant recurrence following surgery in patients with early triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat breast cancer subtypes.
Exact Sciences also announced pivotal clinical validation results from the ALTUS study in the fourth quarter. The prospective, head-to-head trial demonstrated that the company’s Oncoguard® Liver blood test delivers superior early-stage and overall sensitivity for hepatocellular carcinoma — the most common form of liver cancer — compared to the current standard of care.
Additionally, in the fourth quarter, the Company announced the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 for its previously announced license agreement with Freenome. Under the agreement, the Company acquired exclusive rights in the United States to Freenome’s blood-based colorectal cancer screening tests. The exclusive license expands the Company's leadership in cancer screening by adding blood-based CRC screening options to its portfolio. Exclusivity remains subject to Freenome’s test receiving first-line FDA approval.
Pending merger
As previously announced, on November 19, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") and Badger Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Abbott ("Merger Sub"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Exact (the "Merger"). On February 20, 2026, we will hold a special meeting of stockholders to adopt the Merger Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and we will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abbott.

The consummation of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The two parties are continuing to engage with regulators reviewing the proposed transaction and are working toward closing in the second quarter of 2026, subject to obtaining required regulatory approvals and satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.
Fourth quarter conference call
As a result of the pending Merger with Abbott, the Company will not be holding a fourth quarter conference call.
Non-GAAP disclosure
In addition to the Company's financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP measures that it determines to be useful in evaluating its operating performance and liquidity. The Company presents the following non-GAAP measures:

Core revenue — Core revenue is calculated to adjust for recent acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Revenue from recent acquisitions and divestitures is adjusted for the 12 months following acquisition or divestiture when the periods are not comparable. To exclude the impact of change in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior period under comparison, the Company converts the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year comparative period exchange rates.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin — The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, investment income or loss, and certain other items which include significant non-cash items and other charges or benefits resulting from transactions or events that are highly variable, significant in size, and that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing or future business operations. These items are discussed in more detail below in the tables captioned “U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation”. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted sales and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted net income (loss) before tax, adjusted income tax expense (benefit), adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted earnings per share — The Company refers to various “adjusted” amounts or measures on an “adjusted” basis, which exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets and certain charges or benefits resulting from transactions or events that are highly variable, significant in size, and that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing or future business operations. These items are described in more detail below in the tables captioned “U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation”. The Company also presents certain of these adjusted measures as a percentage of revenue including adjusted gross margin.

Free cash flow — The Company defines free cash flow as net cash used in or provided by operating activities, reduced by purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management uses free cash flow as a liquidity measure.




Management believes that presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides supplemental information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operating results and trends. Non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability of the Company's operating results across reporting periods. Management uses this non-GAAP financial information to establish budgets, manage the Company's business, and set incentive and compensation arrangements. Free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors since it measures our ability to generate cash from business operations. Non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental information purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross profit exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets although such measures include the revenue associated with the acquisitions. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA and other adjusted operating result metrics exclude a number of expense items that are included in net loss. As a result, positive adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, or adjusted earnings per share may be achieved while a significant net loss persists. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables captioned “U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation.” The occurrence, timing, and amount of any of the items excluded from GAAP to calculate non-GAAP could significantly impact the Company's GAAP results.
 
About the Cologuard® and Cologuard Plus™ tests:
Developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, the Cologuard and Cologuard Plus tests are non-invasive stool-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening options for the 110 million U.S. adults ages 45 or older who are at average risk for the disease.
The Cologuard test revolutionized CRC screening by detecting specific DNA markers and blood associated with cancer and precancer in stool, allowing patients to use the test at home without special preparation or time off. It is covered by Medicare and included in national screening guidelines from both the American Cancer Society (2018) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021). Since its launch in 2014, the Cologuard test has been used to screen for CRC 20 million times.
Building on this success, the FDA-approved Cologuard Plus test raises the performance bar even further and features novel biomarkers, improved laboratory processes, and enhanced sample stability. The Cologuard Plus test is expected to reduce false positives by nearly 40%, to help minimize unnecessary follow-up colonoscopies. Both tests demonstrate Exact Sciences’ commitment to improving CRC screening access and outcomes. Exact Sciences launched the Cologuard Plus test with Medicare coverage and guideline inclusion in the first quarter of 2025.
About the Oncodetect® test
Molecular residual disease refers to the presence of tumor-specific DNA in the body. These fragments of genetic information, known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), are shed into the bloodstream by tumors, and their presence may indicate that cancer is present. Exact Sciences’ MRD offering leverages our in-house capabilities in whole exome sequencing to offer a tumor-informed MRD test for a personalized approach to detecting and monitoring residual cancer in patients with solid tumors. By identifying somatic genomic alterations in tumor DNA and detecting a subset in ctDNA from blood, the Oncodetect test enables the detection of ctDNA before, during, and after treatment. This critical information can guide therapy decisions and monitor for cancer recurrence. The Oncodetect test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other national regulatory authority

About the Cancerguard® test
The Cancerguard test is designed to detect multiple cancers in their earliest stages from a single blood draw. Building upon decades of research, Exact Sciences intends to harness the additive sensitivity of multiple biomarker classes to detect more cancers in earlier stages. The Cancerguard test will utilize a streamlined and standardized imaging-based diagnostic pathway, which may result in fewer follow-up procedures. The test is being developed to provide high specificity to help minimize false positives while detecting multiple cancers, including those with the biggest toll on human health. These features describe current development goals. The Cancerguard test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other national regulatory authority.

About Exact Sciences’ Precision Oncology portfolio
Exact Sciences’ Precision Oncology portfolio delivers actionable genomic insights to inform prognosis and cancer treatment after a diagnosis. In breast cancer, the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test is the only test shown to predict the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit as well as recurrence in invasive breast cancer. The Oncotype DX test is recognized as the standard of care and is included in all major breast cancer treatment guidelines. The OncoExTra® test applies comprehensive tumor profiling, utilizing whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing, to aid in therapy selection for patients with advanced, metastatic, refractory, relapsed, or recurrent cancer. With an extensive panel of approximately 20,000 genes and 169 introns, the OncoExTra test is one of the most comprehensive genomic (DNA) and transcriptomic (RNA) panels available today. Exact Sciences enables patients to take a more active role in their cancer care and makes it easy for providers to order tests, interpret results, and personalize medicine, by applying real-world evidence and guideline recommendations.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, this primarily includes the remeasurement of contingent consideration, which resulted in an expense of $4.9 million and $26.8 million, respectively. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities resulted in a gain of $1.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The Company also incurred severance costs and professional service fees which were not significant for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The majority of the professional service fees relate to the integration of information technology systems.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded impairment charges related to certain of our domestic facilities and corresponding leasehold improvements. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, this primarily includes an impairment charge recorded related to the in-process research and development asset acquired as part of our acquisition of Thrive. This also includes impairment charges recorded on building leases and corresponding leasehold improvements at certain of our domestic facilities for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

(5) Relates to the sale of the intellectual property and know-how related to the Company's Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score test to MDxHealth SA. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, this represents the remeasurement of the associated contingent consideration.

(6) Restructuring charges primarily include employee termination costs as a result of restructuring certain support functions globally. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred a credit to restructuring charges of $4.2 million and expense of $22.2 million, respectively. Business transformation costs represent non-recurring expenses for strategic projects with anticipated long-term benefits to the Company that do not meet the definition of restructuring charges. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred $4.8 million and $51.0 million of expense, respectively, as part of a multi-year productivity plan, which primarily include consulting services, and employee termination benefits. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred employee termination costs related to the closure of domestic facilities that began in 2023 as part of efforts to consolidate operations and an insignificant amount of professional service fees as part of business transformation efforts.

(7) Represents legal and professional fees incurred related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Abbott Laboratories.

(8) Represents termination related charges incurred due to the termination of the Company's license and sponsored research agreements with The Translational Genomics Research Institute related to its Targeted Digital Sequencing technology.

(9) The Company reached a settlement with a counterparty related to the Medicare Date of Service Rule Investigation and the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute lawsuit.

(10) This adjustment is for rounding and, in those periods in which the Company has a GAAP net loss and adjusted (non-GAAP) net income, also compensates for the effects of additional diluted shares outstanding for the treasury stock impact of restricted stock unit awards, performance share unit awards, stock options, and stock purchased through the employee stock purchase plan, and the if-converted impact of convertible notes. For GAAP earnings per diluted share purposes, the Company cannot reflect the anti-dilutive impact, if applicable, in its diluted shares calculations.
