Personalis Reports Second Quarter Results and Recent Highlights
Clinical test volume surged 199% year-over-year and 33% sequentially to 10,384 tests in Q2
Clinical revenue grew 442% to $2.6 million and overall revenue grew 30% year over year to $22.4 million
Secured Medicare coverage for NeXT Personal® for IO monitoring and Neoadjuvant Breast Cancer monitoring to expand Medicare coverage to four indications
FREMONT, Calif. – August 4, 2026 – Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for precision oncology, today reported financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and highlighted recent business accomplishments.
Second Quarter and Recent Strategic and Operational Highlights
•
Secured Medicare Coverage for IO Monitoring: Received Medicare coverage approval for NeXT Personal for immunotherapy monitoring for patients with late-stage solid tumors.
•
Secured Medicare Coverage for Neoadjuvant Therapy Monitoring for Breast Cancer: Received Medicare coverage approval for NeXT Personal for monitoring treatment response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in patients diagnosed with Stage II-III Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) or HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer.
•
Presented Compelling Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Detection: The prospective VICTORI study led by the University of British Columbia showed NeXT Personal detected 100% of all patient relapses, including all distant metastases in historically difficult-to-detect regions like the lung. Notably, just four weeks after surgery, NeXT Personal detected over 80% of patients who later relapsed, providing clinicians with an early signal of cancer to inform treatment pathways.
•
Highlighted Importance of Sub-10 ppm Sensitivity in Lung Cancer: Approximately 21% of pre-operative adenocarcinoma and 18% of post-operative landmark detections in the TRACERx study were below 10 ppm—thresholds frequently missed by less sensitive assays. Patients detected in this range experienced a three-fold increased risk of recurrence compared to patients with undetectable ctDNA, potentially enabling much earlier clinical intervention.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Compared with Second Quarter 2025
•
Quarterly Revenue: Total revenue of $22.4 million compared with $17.2 million, a 30% increase, primarily driven by higher pharma testing services and growth in clinical tests as a result of recent expanded Medicare reimbursement coverages.
•
Clinical Revenue: Clinical test revenue of $2.6 million compared with $0.5 million, a 442% increase resulting from a full quarter of covered lung cancer testing revenue and also, the expansion of Medicare coverage for IO therapy monitoring received in the second quarter; delivered 10,384 clinical tests compared with 3,478, representing a 199% increase.
•
Core Revenue Streams: Revenue from pharma testing services and all other customers totaled $16.8 million compared with $11.1 million, a 51% increase. Revenue from population sequencing (the VA MVP) totaled $3.0 million compared with $3.3 million, a 9% decrease.
•
Strong Cash Position: Ended the quarter with approximately $212.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.
CEO Commentary
"We delivered another exceptional quarter of growth, highlighted by a 199% year-over-year and 33% sequential increase in clinical volume, with more than 1,400 physicians ordering NeXT Personal," said Chris Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Personalis. "Our second quarter accomplishments further demonstrate that execution of our 'Win-in-MRD' strategy to establish NeXT Personal as the new standard for detecting cancer recurrence early has been effective. Looking into the second half of the year, we remain excited about the scale, complementary capabilities and resources that combining with Tempus gives us to accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value to patients, clinicians and biopharma partners and we expect to continue building our body of evidence to support reimbursement expansion into new indications, as well as continue to grow adoption of Next Personal by the clinical community. We remain firmly on-track to achieve more than a 500% increase in our clinical revenue over last year.”
Full Year 2026 Outlook
As a result of the announcement on July 20, 2026 that Personalis and Tempus AI, Inc. have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, Personalis will no longer provide financial guidance or conduct a quarterly earnings conference call.
