PARSIPPANY, NJ, Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interpace Biosciences, Inc. ("Interpace" or the "Company") (OTCQX: IDXG) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and provided a business and financial update.
Second quarter Net Revenue was $11.0 million, a $3.6 million increase over second quarter 2022. Income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2023 was $0.4 million, an improvement of $2.5 million from the prior year quarter's loss of $2.1 million. On an adjusted basis, EDITDA was $1.3 million in Q2 and $2.6 million for H1 2023. Excluding one-time charges of $0.6 million in Q2 and $0.9 million in H1 for exploring changes to the existing capital structure, adjusted EBITDA on an operating basis was $2.0 million and $3.5 million for Q2 and H1, respectively.
"As reported in our preliminary Q2 business results published July 10, 2023, the Company achieved record volume, revenue, income and cash collections in Q2", said Chris McCarthy, Chief Financial Officer. Tom Burnell, President and CEO added, "the strength and stability of our Company driven by growing adoption and utilization of our well-recognized thyroid and pancreatic cancer molecular diagnostics tests, and supported by a strong team of professional employees, has yielded results far-exceeding initial expectations". "We are pleased with the trajectory of the Company despite the industry-wide challenges associated with Molecular diagnostic reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services", said Dr. Burnell. Finally, Burnell added, "with regard to these challenges, we intend to present strong arguments to Novitas supporting the long-standing and well demonstrated clinical utility of our Pancragen test, and why we believe this test should be removed from the Proposed LCD issued by Novitas on July 27, 2023. We expect a final resolution by Novitas and CMS will require several months to a year, and in the meantime, we will remain steadfast and diligently focused on market penetration, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness all while maintaining a compassion for patient care and enhancing shareholder value."

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 and ESPP plans, interest and taxes, and other non-cash expenses including change in fair values of notes payable, contingent consideration and warrant liability. The table above includes a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
