Rhea-AI Filing Summary

VolitionRx Limited reported first half 2026 revenue of $1.4 million, an increase of 112% over the first half of 2025. Second quarter 2026 revenue was approximately $0.4 million, broadly consistent with the prior-year quarter. Management highlighted progress across its Nu.Q® Vet, Nu.Q® Lung Cancer and Capture-Seq™ liquid biopsy platforms, and active licensing discussions with more than a dozen major diagnostic and liquid biopsy companies.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2026 were 32% lower than a year earlier, contributing to a reduced operating loss of $4.2 million, down 34% versus the comparable 2025 quarter. Net cash used in operating activities was $5.2 million, 18% lower year-on-year. Second quarter receipts included $1.2 million from at-the-market equity sales and $4.1 million from a confidentially marketed public offering of shares and warrants.

The company cited a total addressable market of more than $27 billion across its product pillars and noted a collaboration with Sysmex Corporation, a submitted Nu.Q® Vet feline lymphoma manuscript linked to a potential $5 million milestone, and ongoing reimbursement work for Nu.Q® Lung Cancer in Europe.

Positive

  • First half 2026 revenue rose 112% to $1.4 million versus the first half of 2025, while second quarter operating expenses fell 32% and operating loss declined 34%, indicating meaningful early revenue growth alongside tighter cost control.
  • Net cash used in operating activities in the second quarter of 2026 fell 18% to $5.2 million, showing reduced cash burn as the company advances collaborations, licensing discussions and prepares for potential reimbursement of Nu.Q® Lung Cancer.

Negative

  • The company remains loss-making with a second quarter 2026 operating loss of $4.2 million and net cash used in operating activities of $5.2 million, funded in part by $5.3 million of equity issuance proceeds.

Potential Nu.Q Vet feline milestone $5 million Contractual milestone tied to publication of feline lymphoma study
at-the-market facility financial
"included $1.2 million in net proceeds from equity sales through our at-the-market facility"
An at-the-market facility is a standing arrangement that lets a publicly traded company sell new shares directly into the open market at whatever the current market price is, typically through an investment bank acting as a sales agent. For investors it matters because it provides the company with a flexible way to raise cash without a large, one-time share offering; however, selling additional shares can dilute existing ownership and, by increasing supply, may pressure the stock price like adding more tickets to a limited-seat event.
confidentially marketed public offering financial
"$4.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of shares and warrants in a confidentially marketed public offering"
A confidentially marketed public offering is a planned sale of a company's shares to the public that is promoted privately to a small group of investors before being announced broadly. Think of it like quietly asking a few trusted buyers if they’re interested before putting items up for sale in a public marketplace; it lets the company test demand, set price expectations and limit market disruption. For investors, it signals potential share dilution, gives clues about demand and pricing, and may affect short-term stock volatility and investment decisions.
Total Addressable Markets financial
"The Total Addressable Markets1 (TAMs) for our technologies, on an annualized basis, are multi-billion-dollar opportunities"
An estimate of the total revenue opportunity available for a product or service if every potential customer in a defined market were to buy it, essentially the full size of the market 'pie.' Investors use it to judge how big a business could grow and to compare opportunities across companies; think of it as the pizza’s total size, not the slice a company is likely to actually capture.
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps medical
"where Neutrophil Extracellular Traps ("NETS") play such an important role"
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like strands of DNA and proteins expelled by certain white blood cells to trap and neutralize invading germs, like a spider spinning a sticky web to catch insects. For investors, NETs matter because they are linked to inflammation, blood clots and chronic disease, making them potential targets for new diagnostics and therapies and a factor in safety and efficacy assessments for drug and device development.
NETosis medical
"diseases associated with NETosis, such as sepsis"
Netosis is a process where a type of white blood cell ejects a sticky web-like mesh to trap germs, sacrificing itself in the process. While intended as a protective response, these nets can also spark inflammation, blood clots or tissue damage, so they matter to investors because drugs that alter netosis can become new therapies or safety risks, affect clinical trial outcomes, and influence regulatory and market value for companies working on related diagnostics or treatments.
reimbursement submission regulatory
"working with our long-term collaborators ... on the reimbursement submission for Nu.Q Lung Cancer"
First half 2026 revenue $1.4 million 112% growth over the first half of 2025
Q2 2026 revenue approximately $0.4 million in line with the same period in 2025
Q2 2026 operating loss $4.2 million down 34% versus the comparable quarter in 2025
Q2 2026 net cash used in operating activities $5.2 million 18% lower than the same quarter in 2025

VolitionRx Limited Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Business Update

 

Conference call to discuss financial and operational results scheduled for

 

Friday, August 14 at 8:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time

 

Henderson, Nevada, August 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) (“Volition”), a multi-national epigenetics company, today announces financial results and a business update for the second quarter of 2026. Volition management will host a conference call tomorrow, August 14 at 8:30 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time/2:30 p.m. Central European Time to discuss these results. Conference call details can be found below.

 

Cameron Reynolds, President and Group Chief Executive Officer, said:

 

“We have made strong progress across all of our product pillars throughout 2026 to date.

 

“We are currently in discussions, including undertaking technology evaluations, with more than a dozen of the world’s leading diagnostic and liquid biopsy companies where our goal is to enter into licensing agreements and other arrangements that will bring revenue in the form of up front milestone payments, royalties and/or other recurring revenue. Discussions are at various stages of the negotiation process across our different pillars with our laser focus on executing further licensing agreements.

 

“We announced our collaboration with Sysmex Corporation, a global leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics for hemostasis and thrombosis, among other diseases, where Neutrophil Extracellular Traps ("NETS") play such an important role.

 

“In May, we announced the submission for peer review of a clinical manuscript reporting the high accuracy of our Nu.Q® Vet feline prototype assay in detecting lymphoma in cats, our third species. The publication of this study in a peer reviewed journal is expected subsequently to unlock a $5 million contractual milestone payment. The feline test could greatly expand the market of our Nu.Q® Vet platform.

 

“We are working with our long-term collaborators at the Hospices Civils de Lyon, one of Europe's leading cancer centers, on the reimbursement submission for Nu.Q® Lung Cancer. Reimbursement is the last step on the path to the first use of Nu.Q® in routine clinical practice, an exciting prospect which is core to Volition's mission, using our tests to help save lives.

 

“We continue to add to our significant data rooms with published, submitted and confidential data across our product pillars. Most notably, we recently announced the publication of our first peer-reviewed paper demonstrating our breakthrough Capture-Seq™ liquid biopsy technology.

 

“The Total Addressable Markets1 (TAMs) for our technologies, on an annualized basis, are multi-billion-dollar opportunities (estimated at more than $27 billion across all of our product pillars), not only for Volition, but for our licensing partners. Volition has made strong progress, both clinically and commercially, and our technology is now poised to be used very widely in a broad range of clinical utilities.”
