Third consecutive quarter of triple-digit YoY Quarterly growth
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Specialty cancer diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRPO), today announced preliminary second quarter results representing
continued triple digit YoY growth.
Quarter over quarter sequential growth was 14% which, at a compounded run rate of circa 70% annually currently represents early
stage growth generated from pathology services. We expect a continuation of this rate throughout 2018, as the expanding pathology
services sales organization ramps, and our ICE COLD PCR liquid biopsy cancer detection products segment gains commercial
traction.
On a preliminary basis, revenue for the second quarter is expected to be $815,000, up from $260,000 in Q2-2017, an increase of
213%. In Q4-2017 and in Q1-2018, YoY revenue growth was 199% and 187% respectively, showing continued triple-digit YoY growth.
Revenue for the first half of 2018 is estimated at $1.5M, a tripling of revenue from $0.5M in the first half of 2017.
Sales of Precipio pathology services were the primary contributor to the second quarter’s revenues, which benefited from
integration of the business segment’s recently expanded sales team and increased awareness of the value proposition of academic
expertise and cancer pathology specialization.
The Company’s ICP sales growth plan remains focused on hospitals, large CRO’s, OEM’s and national scale labs, with the goal of
capturing a substantial share of the multi-billion dollar liquid biopsy market opportunity.
“These results represent further validation of our high growth strategy to rapidly gain pathology services market share, and
commercialize our unique liquid biopsy, mutation detection products for cancer,” commented CEO Ilan Danieli. “We are confident with
the potential effect on market and enterprise value resulting from this trend, as we continue to hit revenue and commercialization
milestones.”
