The increase in total revenue was driven primarily by a 199% growth in molecular profiling services revenue, which was $282.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $94.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in molecular profiling services revenue was primarily driven by an increase in total clinical case volume and ASP improvements across therapy selection solutions.

Gross profit, calculated as total revenue less cost of services, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, was $220.9 million and $70.7 million, respectively, representing a gross margin of 75% and 54%, respectively.

The increase was primarily driven by increased stock-based compensation expense and headcount-related costs.

Net income was $82.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss of $36.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Net income per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted, was $0.29 and $0.28 per share, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted, of $1.73, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $44.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $38.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a 215% improvement. The improvement was driven by improved reimbursement from molecular profiling services.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue was $812.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $412.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $399.8 million, or 97%.

The increase in total revenue was driven primarily by a 120% growth in molecular profiling services revenue, which was $766.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $349.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in molecular profiling services revenue was primarily driven by an increase in total clinical case volume and ASP improvements across therapy selection solutions.

Net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted, was $3.22 per share for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted, of $10.66 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $83.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $245.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a 134% improvement.

2026 Financial Outlook and Guidance

Caris Life Sciences expects full year 2026 revenue to be in the range of $1.0 billion to $1.02 billion, representing growth of approximately 23% to 26% compared to full year 2025. Clinical therapy selection volume is expected to grow approximately 20% compared to full year 2025.

Within this revenue range:

Molecular profiling revenue is expected to grow approximately 21% to 22% year over year in 2026. Excluding out-of-year revenue from over collections recorded in 2025, this range implies growth of approximately 26% to 28%.
Pharma & research revenue is expected to be in the range of $75 million to $85 million for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Caris Life Sciences expects GAAP operating expenses to be in the range of $590 million to $595 million, representing a 19% to 20% increase due to commercial expansion and increase in pipeline trial activities, and expects to remain positive on Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our business, solutions, plans, objectives, goals, industry trends, financial outlook and guidance. In some cases forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “potential,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or similar expressions.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to us, we cannot guarantee that the future results, discoveries, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release include, among other things: developments in the precision medicine industry; our future financial performance, results of operations or other operational results or metrics; development, analytical and clinical validation, timing and performance of future solutions by us and our competitors; commercial market acceptance for our solutions, including acceptance of preventive as well as diagnostic testing paradigms, and our ability to meet resulting demand; the rapidly evolving competitive environment in which we operate; third-party payer reimbursement and coverage decisions related to our solutions; risks related to data management, storage, and processing capabilities and our ability to integrate and deploy artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics technologies; our ability to protect and enhance our intellectual property; regulatory requirements, decisions or approvals (including the timing and conditions thereof) related to our solutions; reliance on third-party suppliers; risks related to data security, patient privacy, and compliance with healthcare data protection regulations as well as potential cybersecurity threats to our data platforms; our compliance with laws and regulations; the outcome of government investigations and litigation; risks related to our indebtedness; and our ability to hire and retain key personnel as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on or about March 3, 2026, and in our other filings we make with the SEC from time to time.

Non-GAAP Measures

We use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, financial measures not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), to supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures we use, are useful in evaluating our performance and liquidity. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, however, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use these measures or may calculate these measures differently than as presented herein, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude interest income, interest expense, changes in fair value of financial instruments, other expense, net, the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and certain variable charges.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity that provides an additional basis for assessing our ability to generate cash.

A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the respective comparable GAAP financial measures, can be found below.
