Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenue increased 50% to $19.4 million compared to $12.9 million for the prior year. Revenue was comprised of $8.8 million from GPS, $5.9 million from Confirm mdx, $3.2 million from Resolve mdx, and $1.3 million from Select mdx.
Gross margins were 65.3% compared to 56.0% for the prior year, an improvement of 9.3 percentage points attributed to contribution from Select mdx reimbursement, coupled with cost management and expanded coverage across our menu.
Operating expenses increased 17% to $19.0 million compared to $16.2 million for the prior year, driven by increases in R&D expense, increased sales and marketing activity from the GPS acquisition, as well as $1.7 million of non-recurring expenses, primarily attributed to the transition to a sole listing on NASDAQ.
Net loss decreased 14% to $10.7 million compared to $12.4 million for the prior year, driven by the factors mentioned above, partially offset by an increase of $2.1 million in financial expenses, of which $1.8 million was non-cash.
Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue increased 89% to $70.2 million compared to $37.1 million for the prior year. Excluding GPS, revenue increased 42% to $39.3 million compared to $27.7 million for the prior year. Revenue was comprised of $30.9 million from GPS, $24.8 million from Confirm mdx, $9.7 million from Resolve mdx, and $4.5 million from Select mdx.
Gross margins were 62.6% compared to 51.9% for the prior year, an improvement of 10.7 percentage points attributed to contribution from Select mdx reimbursement, cost management, expanded coverage across our menu, and a higher contribution from GPS to total revenue.
Operating expenses increased 25% to $71.3 million compared to $57.1 million for the prior year, primarily driven by the acquisition of the GPS test in August 2022, and includes $2.6 million of non-recurring expenses, primarily attributed to the transition to a sole listing on NASDAQ.
Net loss decreased 2% to $43.1 million compared to $44.0 million for the prior year, driven by the factors mentioned above, partially offset by an increase of $11.4 million in financial expenses, of which $9.1 million was non-cash and primarily related to the GPS contingent consideration.

This press release contains forward-looking statements and estimates with respect to the anticipated future performance of MDxHealth and the market in which it operates, all of which involve certain risks and uncertainties. These statements are often, but are not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "potential," "expect," "will," "goal," "next," "potential," "aim," "explore," "forward," "future," and "believes" as well as similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expected future operating results; expectations for development of new or improved products and services and their impact on patients; our strategies, positioning, resources, capabilities and expectations for future events or performance; and the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions, including estimated synergies and other financial impacts. Such statements and estimates are based on assumptions and assessments of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which were deemed reasonable but may not prove to be correct. Actual events are difficult to predict, may depend upon factors that are beyond the company's control, and may turn out to be materially different. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expected future operating results, product development efforts, our strategies, positioning, resources, capabilities and expectations for future events or performance. Important factors that could cause actual results, conditions and events to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: our ability to successfully and profitably market our products; the acceptance of our products and services by healthcare providers; our ability to achieve and maintain adequate levels of coverage or reimbursement for our current and future solutions we commercialize or may seek to commercialize; the willingness of health insurance companies and other payers to cover our products and services and adequately reimburse us for such products and services; our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals and comply with applicable regulations; timing, progress and results of our research and development programs; the period over which we estimate our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our future operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from our business acquisitions like our acquisition of the Oncotype DX® GPS prostate cancer business will not be realized in full or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; and the amount and nature of competition for our products and services. Other important risks and uncertainties are described in the Risk Factors sections of our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. MDxHealth expressly disclaims any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements in this release to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based unless required by law or regulation. This press release does not constitute an offer or invitation for the sale or purchase of securities or assets of MDxHealth in any jurisdiction. No securities of MDxHealth may be offered or sold within the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or in compliance with an exemption therefrom, and in accordance with any applicable U.S. securities laws.
Non-IFRS Measures. The Company's reference to adjusted EBITDA is a forward-looking statement about the Company's future financial performance, and is a non-IFRS measure that excludes a number of expense items that are included in net loss, including adjustments for items like stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration costs, impairment of long-lived assets, fair-value adjustment, loan extinguishment costs, as well as other non-operating, non-recurring expenses that are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertain to events that have not yet occurred. As a result, positive adjusted EBITDA may be achieved while a significant net loss persists. Non-IFRS financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and such information is referenced for supplemental information purposes only. Management does not forecast many of the excluded items for internal use, as these are difficult to predict for future periods because the nature of the adjustments pertain to events that have not yet occurred. Information reconciling forward-looking non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures is therefore not available without unreasonable effort, and is not provided. The occurrence, timing, and amount of any of the items excluded from IFRS to calculate non-IFRS measures could significantly impact the Company's IFRS results.
