MENLO PARK, Calif., May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GRAIL, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRAL), a healthcare company whose mission is to detect cancer early when it can be cured, today reported business and financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

Total revenue in the first quarter grew 28% year-over-year to $40.8 million, and Galleri revenue grew 37% year-over-year to $39.8 million. Galleri test volume for the quarter grew 50% year-over-year to more than 56,000. Net loss for the quarter was $93.2 million. Gross loss was $14.3 million. Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was $19.7 million, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $(79.9) million.¹

"GRAIL continues to execute commercially, with strong volume growth in Q1. We continue to build new partnerships to support demand and were pleased to announce our collaboration with Epic, which will expand access to Galleri for physicians and patients," said Bob Ragusa, Chief Executive Officer at GRAIL. "We are looking forward to our upcoming presentations of detailed results from our 35,000 PATHFINDER 2 study and the 140,000 NHS-Galleri trial, which were accepted for presentation at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting in late May."

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, GRAIL reported:

• Revenue: Total revenue, comprised of screening and development services revenue, was $40.8 million, an increase of $8.9 million or 28%.
• Net loss: Net loss was $93.2 million, an improvement of $13.0 million or 12%.
• Gross loss: Gross loss was $14.3 million, an improvement of $5.6 million or 28%.
• Adjusted gross profit¹: Adjusted gross profit was $19.7 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 38%.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹: Adjusted EBITDA was $(79.9) million, an improvement of $18.8 million or 19%.

Cash position: Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities totaled $823.1 million as of March 31, 2026.

Recent business highlights include:

• The Premarket Approval (PMA) application for Galleri was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January and accepted by FDA for review. The PMA submission is focused on test performance and safety results from 25,000 consented participants in the U.S.-based PATHFINDER 2 study with one year of follow up and from the prevalent screening round (first year) of the 140,000 participant NHS-Galleri trial, the largest, and only, randomized, controlled intended use trial of any multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. The submission is also supported by a bridging analysis to compare performance of the version of Galleri used in clinical trials to the updated version that has been submitted to the FDA for premarket approval.
• Announced planned integration of the Galleri test into Epic's electronic health record (EHR) platform to expand access nationwide. Epic is a leading EHR platform used by many large and advanced health systems. Integration through Epic Aura will allow health systems and their healthcare providers to order the Galleri test directly at the point of care, receive structured results, and manage patient follow-up seamlessly within their existing native EHR and within their existing clinical workflows. Broad availability in Epic EHR platform is expected by the end of 2026.
• Data presentations at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) 2026 Annual Meeting in April:
  • An analysis of the association between emergency department involvement in the diagnosis of cancer and overall survival across different cancer types in the Medicare population. Emergency department involvement was associated with a significant fraction of overall mortality in patients with cancer. Emergency department involvement at diagnosis remained a strong independent predictor of mortality after adjusting for sociodemographics, comorbidities, and stage at diagnosis.
  • An analysis of adherence to mammography screening before and after MCED testing showed that women who received a negative MCED result maintained high adherence to guideline-recommended mammography, with >80% undergoing screening in the 24 months after MCED testing, similar to rates in the 24 months before testing. These findings suggest that MCED testing does not negatively impact participation in guideline-recommended cancer screening.
• Announced new data from both the NHS-Galleri trial and the PATHFINDER 2 study will be presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, May 29 - June 2, 2026:
  • Detailed NHS-Galleri Trial results will be presented as a late-breaking abstract in an oral presentation during a clinical science symposium on Saturday, May 30.
  • Final PATHFINDER 2 study results will be presented as a late-breaking abstract in an oral presentation on Sunday, May 31.
  • More than 174,000 participants enrolled across both studies, demonstrating the scientific rigor of the Galleri clinical development program.

About Galleri®
The Galleri multi-cancer early detection test is a proactive tool to screen for cancer. With a simple blood draw, the Galleri test can identify DNA shed by cancer cells, which can act as a unique "fingerprint" of cancer, to help screen for some of the deadliest cancers that don't have recommended screening today, such as pancreatic, esophageal, ovarian, liver, and others. The Galleri test can be used to screen for cancer before a person becomes symptomatic, when cancer may be more easily treated and potentially curable. The Galleri test can indicate the origin of the cancer, giving healthcare providers a roadmap of where to explore further. The Galleri test requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider and should be used in addition to recommended cancer screenings such as mammography, colonoscopy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, or cervical cancer screening. The Galleri test is recommended for adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
In addition to our financial results provided throughout this press release that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release also includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial disclosure includes Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP in conjunction with our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations.

• Adjusted Gross Profit is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operational performance, as it represents the results of revenues and direct costs, which are key components of our operations. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it reflects the gross profitability of our operations, and excludes the costs associated with our sales and marketing, product development, general and administrative activities and the impact of our financing methods and income taxes.
  
  We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit (loss) (as defined below) adjusted to exclude amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation allocated to cost of revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss from operations, net earnings or loss and other GAAP measures of income (loss) or profitability. Gross profit (loss) (as defined below) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

• Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, different operational and ownership histories, and/or different forms of employee compensation.
  
  Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income (loss) or income (loss) from operations. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
  
  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, depreciation, benefit from income taxes, interest income and restructuring expenses. These adjustments include non-cash items, significant non-recurring charges and/or other non-operating expenses that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing or future business operations.
  
  Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss from operations, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income (loss). Additionally, it is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest and tax payments. Further, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. Net loss is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is set forth in tabular form following the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
