NM – not meaningful

•Total net revenues for the first quarter of 2025 decreased 45% to $29.9 million from $54.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to the decline in COVID-19 revenues.

•Core revenues (all revenues excluding COVID-19 and Molecular Services revenues) of $29.5 million in the first quarter decreased 2% year-over-year. Diagnostics revenues in the first quarter increased 8% year-over-year to $17.7 million and Sample Management Solutions revenues decreased 16% to $9.1 million.

•COVID-19 revenues of $0.5 million in the first quarter decreased 98% year-over-year primarily due to the completion of our largest government contract in Q2 2024.

•GAAP gross margin was 41.1% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 44.5% in the first quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 41.7% compared to 45.2% in the first quarter of 20241.

Although forward-looking statements help to provide information about future prospects, readers should keep in mind that forward-looking statements may not be reliable.

In this press release, the Company’s financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP operating income (loss), and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. Management believes that presentation of operating results using these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods, while excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of the Company’s recurring core business operating results. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they (1) allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) are used by OraSure’s institutional investors and the analysis community to help them analyze the health of OraSure’s business. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and to manage the Company’s business. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the schedules below and a description of the adjustments made to the GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the schedules.

The Company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Non-GAAP financial results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures, even if similarly titled, may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, and therefore should not be compared.

The following is a description of the adjustments made to GAAP financial measures:

•Stock Compensation: non-cash equity-based compensation provided to OraSure employees and directors

•Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets: represents recurring amortization charges resulting from the acquisition of intangible assets associated with our business combinations

•Reduction in workforce severance: termination benefits associated with the Company’s workforce reduction associated with certain business events

•Loss on impairment: charges related to the write down of Company’s intangibles, PP&E, or leased assets

•Gain on sale of assets under product line discontinuance: represents the gain on the sale of fixed assets associated with the risk assessment line of business that was discontinued and sold to a 3rd party

•Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration: changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liability associated with an adjustment for the passage of time

•Loss on equity investment: we have excluded our proportionate share of our equity method investee’s net loss as we do not have direct control over the investee’s operations or resulting revenue and expenses

•Tax impact associated with non-GAAP adjustments: tax expense/(benefit) due to non-GAAP adjustments
