Myriad Genetics Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Deploying New Initiatives Focused on Driving Increased Efficiency, Productivity and Scalability
Highlights
SALT LAKE CITY, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026, new initiatives focused on driving increased efficiency, productivity and scalability, and revised financial guidance for the full-year 2026.
“In the second quarter, we continued to make meaningful progress on the Cancer Care Continuum on a number of fronts, including 6% year-over-year volume growth supported by the ramp up of our expanded sales team, the launch of Prolaris + AI, the expansion of Precise MRD to include colorectal cancer (CRC) and renal cancers, along with the submission of Precise MRD breast to MolDX,” said Sam Raha, President and CEO, Myriad Genetics. “During the quarter, we advanced work on a strategic review with the intention to identify initiatives to increase growth, profitability, and liquidity. We have activated an initiative called Ascend to increase organizational efficiency, effectivity and scalability and are being supported by a leading professional services firm. We are also doing a rigorous evaluation of our product portfolio to determine the optimal allocation of capital and enhancement of shareholder value.”
“Myriad Genetics' second quarter 2026 performance fell short of our expectations, as solid demand for our Hereditary Cancer and Mental Health tests was offset by volume challenges in Prenatal Health and increased payer friction. Mitigating average revenue per test pressure for hereditary cancer testing from this increased payer friction is a top priority, and we are executing a comprehensive action plan. The combination of these developments and the first full quarter of increased costs associated with our expanded commercial team yielded pressure on our bottom line in the quarter. While we are revising our full-year 2026 financial guidance due to lower Prenatal Health test volumes and more conservative assumptions regarding average revenue per test, we remain optimistic about our 2027 financial profile as we execute on multiple initiatives."

Financial Guidance
Myriad Genetics does not provide forward-looking guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for the measures on which it provides forward-looking non-GAAP guidance as the company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort, because of the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliations that have not yet occurred, are dependent on various factors, are out of the company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, strategic realignment, costs related to amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, impairment and related charges, depreciation, equity compensation, tax benefits, and other adjustments. For example, stock-based compensation may fluctuate based on the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in the company's stock price. Any associated estimate of these items and their impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.
Below is a table summarizing Myriad Genetics' full-year 2026 financial guidance*:
As a result of second quarter 2026 performance and strategic initiatives that are underway, Myriad Genetics is suspending its previous full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance and is providing full-year 2026 financial guidance only with respect to Revenue and Adjusted Gross Margin % as set forth above.
These projections are forward-looking statements and are subject to the risks summarized in the safe harbor statement at the end of this press release.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, the company’s financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and to manage the company’s business. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the schedules below and a description of the adjustments made to the GAAP financial measures is included at the end of each schedule.
The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, if available, to more fully understand its business. Non-GAAP financial results are reported in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company does not forecast GAAP gross margin because it cannot predict certain elements that are included in reported GAAP results. Please see above under “Financial Guidance” for a full explanation.
