Insights
Mixed quarter: revenue reset lower post-exit, but thyroid margins and profitability improved.
Interpace Biosciences reported Q1 2026 revenue of $9.0 million, down 22% from the prior-year total but 14% above the Pro Forma thyroid-only baseline. This reflects the impact of discontinuing PancraGEN alongside growth in the core thyroid franchise.
Gross margin reached 65%, up from 59% on a Pro Forma basis, and Adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 million (17% margin) versus $0.8 million (10% margin) Pro Forma. Income from continuing operations rose versus Pro Forma, indicating better efficiency in the streamlined model despite lower total reported revenue.
The company reaffirmed its 2026 outlook for approximately 16% thyroid revenue growth and noted operational metrics such as higher average revenue per test, more accounts, and improved days sales outstanding. Subsequent quarterly filings for periods after March 31, 2026 will show whether these margin gains and thyroid growth rates are sustained.

Interpace Biosciences Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial and Business Results
| ● | Q1 Revenue of $9.0 million | |
| ● | Q1 Income from Continuing Operations of $0.8 million | |
| ● | Q1 Thyroid volume year-over-year increase of 10% | |
| ● | Q1 Thyroid revenue year-over-year increase of 12% |
PARSIPPANY, NJ, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (“Interpace” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: IDXG) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 and provided a business and financial update.
Interpace generated Q1 2026 revenue of $9.0 million on 12% year-over-year thyroid revenue growth, delivered $0.8 million of income from continuing operations, and produced Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million, or 17% of revenue.
“Our first quarter results demonstrate continued momentum in our thyroid franchise and the operational efficiency that has come with our transition to a thyroid-only diagnostics testing company,” said Chris McCarthy, Chief Financial Officer. “Q1 2026 thyroid revenue increased 12% year-over-year and gross margin expanded to 65% from 59% on a Pro Forma basis. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $1.6 million from $0.8 million in the prior year quarter on a Pro Forma basis. Operating income margin improved to 12% from 6% in the prior year quarter on a Pro Forma basis and adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 17% from 10% in the prior year quarter on a Pro Forma basis. These results reflect the strength of our ThyGeNEXT® and ThyraMIR®v2 platform and the consistent execution of our commercial team.”
McCarthy added, “Our debt-free balance sheet continues to support meaningful investment in laboratory automation and AI-enabled productivity initiatives across our workflow. We are scaling operating leverage in line with volume growth without a corresponding increase in headcount, which we expect will support continued margin expansion as the year progresses.”
“The first quarter demonstrates the durability of the business we built through last year’s transition and positions Interpace to build on this momentum through the remainder of 2026.” said Tom Burnell, President and CEO. “We see the same characteristics in Q1 2026 that defined our 2025 performance — disciplined execution, expanding clinical adoption, and a steady cadence of operational improvement. We continue to believe our combination approach — ThyGeNEXT® for mutation detection and ThyraMIR®v2 for microRNA pathway insights — gives physicians the confidence and clarity they need to make informed patient-management decisions.”
Outlook
With a streamlined, thyroid-only operating model and continued commercial momentum, Interpace is positioned to build on its first-quarter performance through the remainder of 2026. The Company is reaffirming its previously provided 2026 guidance of approximately 16% year-over-year thyroid revenue growth, and remains focused on scaling thyroid test volume through deeper adoption within existing accounts, expanding the active account base, and driving productivity gains through laboratory automation and operational discipline.

Management uses a non-GAAP Pro Forma income statement to help evaluate the results of our performance. The Pro Forma income statement for 2025 reflects the Company’s current business structure as a thyroid-only diagnostics testing company and excludes revenue and related costs from PancraGEN, which was discontinued in May 2025. These adjustments are presented for comparability purposes only and do not represent GAAP financial measures. Investors should review GAAP results alongside these pro forma figures for a complete understanding of performance. A reconciliation of GAAP and these pro forma figures is presented below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, results provided throughout this document, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures to help evaluate the results of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP financial measures, are useful to both management and investors in analyzing our ongoing business and operating performance. We believe that providing the non-GAAP information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view our financial results in the way that management views financial results.
In this document, we discuss Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by management to measure cash flow of the ongoing business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income or loss from continuing operations, plus depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, severance expense, non-recurring legal expenses, interest and taxes, and other non-cash expenses including change in fair values of notes payable. The table above includes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
