Third Quarter 2026 Highlights
Dermatology - Skin Cancer
- In September, the Company presented new data on DecisionDx-Melanoma from the largest, prospective multi-center study of gene expression profiling (GEP) in cutaneous melanoma to date, involving 2,799 patients across 29 U.S. centers. This study, presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2026, supports the use of DecisionDx-Melanoma in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and risk of recurrence decision-making management. Among 676 patients with low-risk i31-SLNB results who underwent SLNB had an observed SLN positivity of 4.4%, and 565 SLNB-eligible patients with low-risk results who did not undergo SLNB had five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) of 99.6%. These findings support identifying low-risk patients who may safely forgo SLNB. A separate analysis of 687 patients with transected melanomas showed that patients with early-stage disease (stage I–IIA) and high-risk Class 2B results had recurrence risk similar to stage IIB disease, supporting closer surveillance when staging is uncertain. See the Company's news release from September 30, 2026, for more information.
- The Company announced the publication of a multi-center study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) validating the integrated DecisionDx-SCC test result (i40-GEP) for patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). DecisionDx-SCC analyzes 40 genes to provide results related to prognosis and response to adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) based on an individual patient's tumor biology. The enhanced algorithm integrates the molecular data with five clinicopathologic risk factors (immunosuppression, tumor diameter, histological differentiation, perineural invasion and anatomic site) using optimized nested predictive models. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive assessment of metastatic risk, local recurrence risk and likelihood of benefit from ART. The study published in JAAD showed that the test results can shift or stratify patients across clinically actionable risk thresholds, supporting risk-aligned decisions regarding patient follow-up, surveillance imaging, multidisciplinary referral and ART. See the Company's news release from September 9, 2026, for more information.
Dermatology - Atopic Dermatitis
- The Company announced the publication of a new study highlighting the challenges patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) experience in achieving their treatment goals and strong patient interest in molecular testing to help guide systemic therapy selection. The findings support the clinical need for molecular guidance in AD care. Castle's AdvanceAD-Tx test is designed to address this need by helping personalize systemic therapy decisions based on an individual patient's underlying disease biology. This new paper complements an earlier prospective, multicenter clinical validation study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology that demonstrated the ability of AdvanceAD-Tx to identify differences in systemic therapy class response in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. See the Company's news release from September 24, 2026, for more information.
Gastroenterology
- The Company announced the publication of a study showing that its TissueCypher Barrett's Esophagus test helped guide risk-aligned management decisions for patients with non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (NDBE). In the study, clinicians changed their management recommendations 90% of the time after receiving TissueCypher results, including escalating management for all patients with intermediate- or high-risk results and de-escalating management for 84% of those with low-risk results. See the Company's news release from September 28, 2026, for more information.
- The Company announced the publication of a new decision modeling study showing that the TissueCypher Barrett's Esophagus test can help better align Barrett's esophagus (BE) management with a patient's individual risk of progression to high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). In the study, simulated use of TissueCypher significantly increased appropriate management aligned with known progression outcomes across patients with NDBE, indefinite for dysplasia (IND) and low-grade dysplasia (LGD). See the Company's news release from September 15, 2026, for more information.
Pipeline Initiatives
- In September, SciBase, the Company's collaboration partner developing the use of electrical impedance spectroscopy technology to predict relapses in atopic dermatitis announced that Castle placed an additional order for acceleration of the Company's current, ongoing clinical study and preparations for a second clinical study under the collaboration. The order consisted of both the portable pen device and electrodes to a value of approximately $0.6 million. Deliveries began early in the fourth quarter 2026.
Corporate
- The Company announced the opening of its new laboratory and office facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 55,000-square-foot facility, located within the 260-acre Perimeter Center business park, expands Castle's operational footprint in the Phoenix metropolitan area. This investment gives our teams additional space, infrastructure and capacity to support our work on behalf of patients and clinicians today as well as our anticipated growth in the future. See the Company's news release from September 22, 2026, for more information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (UNAUDITED)
In this release, we use the metrics of Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Share, Basic and Diluted, which are non-GAAP financial measures and are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted Gross Margin reflect adjustments to GAAP net revenues to exclude net positive and/or net negative revenue adjustments recorded in the current period associated with changes in estimated variable consideration related to test reports delivered in previous periods. Adjusted Gross Margin further excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from net loss or income: interest income, interest expense, income tax benefit or expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and net losses (gains) on equity securities. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Share, Basic and Diluted, excludes a one-time adjustment of an acceleration of amortization expense for our IDgenetix test from net loss.
We use Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Share, Basic and Diluted, internally because we believe these metrics provide useful supplemental information in assessing our revenue and operating performance reported in accordance with GAAP, respectively. We believe that Adjusted Revenues, when used in conjunction with our test report volume information, facilitates investors' analysis of our current-period revenue performance and average selling price performance by excluding the effects of revenue adjustments related to test reports delivered in prior periods, since these adjustments may not be indicative of the current or future performance of our business. We believe that providing Adjusted Revenues may also help facilitate comparisons to our historical periods. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated using Adjusted Revenues and therefore excludes the impact of revenue adjustments related to test reports delivered in prior periods, which we believe is useful to investors as described above. We further exclude acquisition-related intangible asset amortization in the calculation of Adjusted Gross Margin. We believe that excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization may facilitate gross margin comparisons to historical periods and may be useful in assessing current-period performance without regard to the historical accounting valuations of intangible assets, which are applicable only to tests we acquired rather than internally developed. Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Share, Basic and Diluted, is calculated by excluding a one-time adjustment of an acceleration of amortization expense for our IDgenetix test from net loss. We believe that providing Adjusted Net (Loss) Income per Share, Basic and Diluted, may also help facilitate comparisons to our historical periods. We believe Adjusted EBITDA may enhance an evaluation of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of prior decisions made about capital investment, financing, investing and certain expenses we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when the same or similarly titled terms are used to identify such measures, limiting their usefulness for comparative purposes.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or used as substitutes for net revenues, gross margin, net loss or net loss per share reported in accordance with GAAP; should be considered in conjunction with our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; are unaudited; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of these non-GAAP financial measures, and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of these non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of adjustments to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measure as used by us in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables at the end of this release.
