Best Quarter of Flagship Multi-Cancer Early Detection Testing; OneTest™ Revenue Increased 47% Year-Over-Year to $0.7 Million; Gross Profit Increased 87% to $0.3 Million, with Gross Margin Expanding to 41.7% from 30.5%

Company Expands OneTest™ Across Firefighter, Occupational Health, Military, and Physician Practice Markets

Cash Position Strengthened to $4.5 Million as of June 30, 2026, with All Convertible Note Debt Eliminated During the Quarter

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 20/20 BioLabs, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIDX) (“20/20” or the “Company”), an early market entrant in AI powered laboratory-based blood tests for the early detection and prevention of cancers and chronic diseases, reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter & Subsequent 2026 Operational Highlights

Total revenue increased 36.5% to $0.7 million for Q2 2026, as compared to $0.5 million for Q2 2025, with OneTest™ accounting for 95.3% of total revenue in the quarter, up from 88.4% in the prior year period.
Revenue from the Company’s OneTest™ family of blood tests, led by OneTest™ for Cancer, its Multi-Cancer Early Detection (“MCED”) blood test, increased 47.1% to $0.7 million for Q2 2026, as compared to $0.5 million for Q2 2025. The Company believes Q2 2026 represented its strongest quarter of MCED testing.
Gross profit increased 86.6% to $0.3 million for Q2 2026, as compared to $0.2 million for Q2 2025, while gross margin expanded to 41.7% from 30.5%, reflecting improved absorption of fixed laboratory costs across a higher volume of OneTest™ tests.
State-funded firefighter cancer screening programs continued to gain momentum. In May, the State of Vermont selected OneTest™ for a 12-month statewide initiative to screen up to 4,500 firefighters, while Maryland fire departments were awarded $520,000 for OneTest™ cancer screenings. The Company expects these programs to generate more than $1.0 million of revenue through the end of 2026.
The Company expects to have tested more than 35,000 firefighters by the end of 2026, building a body of real-world evidence intended to support its regulatory and reimbursement strategy.
Received orders from 29 new accounts during the second quarter, including occupational and preventive health companies, fire departments and primary care physician practices. Growth has continued into the third quarter across fire department, occupational health, military service and physician practice markets.
Executed a purchase agreement with the TF – 7294 Foundation that expands access to OneTest™ for Cancer within the U.S. Intelligence Community.
Received a first commercial order from BodyMetRX, extending the OneTest™ for Cancer footprint into the health optimization and wellness market.
Maintained strong repeat business from existing customers, with Clayton County, Georgia beginning its seventh year of OneTest™ for Cancer screening, and continued to grow its enterprise pipeline entering the second half of 2026.
Launched a three-month retail pilot with Giant Food for OneTest for Longevity™, making the Company’s inflammatory and cardiometabolic biomarker testing available through participating Giant Food stores via pharmacy-based blood collection and at-home self-collection kits.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.5 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2025.
Issued an additional 1,000 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock on June 16, 2026 for gross proceeds of $1.0 million, bringing total Series E proceeds to $6.0 million for the first half of 2026 under a preferred purchase agreement pursuant to which up to $40.0 million in capital may be raised in multiple tranches, subject to 20/20 meeting certain conditions.
On April 10, 2026, all principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Company’s secured convertible promissory notes was exchanged for 583 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock, eliminating all convertible note debt from the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.
Subsequent to quarter end, on July 16, 2026, the Company entered into a standstill agreement with Streeterville under which Streeterville agreed that, for 120 days, it will not convert shares of Series E convertible preferred stock into common stock unless the common stock trades at least 10% above the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635.
Accounts receivable increased to approximately $0.3 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $0.2 million as of December 31, 2025, reflecting higher MCED testing volume late in the quarter.
Hosted the inaugural session of a new monthly investor webinar series on July 1, 2026, focused on the Company’s Medicare strategy for OneTest™ and its serial biomarker tracking methodology. Sessions are held on the first Wednesday of each month.
Continued to advance the Company’s patented protein tumor marker based, machine learning derived MCED methodology, which tracks biomarker trajectories over time rather than relying on single-point testing, an approach the Company believes may support earlier-stage detection compared to stand-alone circulating tumor DNA based MCEDs.

Management Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Cohen commented, “The second quarter was the strongest quarter of multi-cancer early detection testing this Company has ever delivered. OneTest™ revenue grew 47% year-over-year to $0.7 million and represented more than 95% of total revenue, which is exactly the mix shift we have been working toward. Just as importantly, that growth came with operating leverage: gross profit increased 87% and gross margin expanded more than 11 percentage points to 41.7%, because our laboratory absorbs incremental testing volume at attractive incremental economics.”

"State-funded firefighter cancer screening continues to validate OneTest™ in a meaningful commercial setting. Programs in Maryland and Vermont are expected to help us surpass 35,000 firefighters tested by year-end, generating valuable real-world evidence while contributing to revenue growth."

"That growing body of clinical data supports our long-term reimbursement strategy. With a statutory Medicare pathway for FDA-authorized MCED blood tests beginning in 2028, we believe OneTest™ is well positioned to benefit from expanding adoption as we continue advancing toward commercialization."

Chief Financial Officer Alan Bergman added, "Second quarter results reflected a return to growth, with revenue increasing 36.5% year over year and gross profit increasing 87% as higher OneTest™ volume drove meaningful operating leverage. Operating expenses increased primarily due to one-time Nasdaq listing costs and continued investment in our longevity platform.

“We also strengthened the balance sheet meaningfully. During the quarter, we strengthened the balance sheet by raising additional Series E preferred capital and eliminating all outstanding convertible note debt. We ended the quarter with $4.5 million in cash and believe we are well positioned to support continued growth in MCED testing. With two state firefighter programs now contributing and a growing commercial pipeline, we expect MCED volume to remain the primary driver of revenue growth through the balance of the year,” concluded Bergman.
