Bionano Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results and Highlights Recent Business Progress
“We continued to execute on our new strategy of focusing on our base of routine users of optical genome mapping (OGM) and VIA™ software as the primary drivers of our revenue and gross profit in the second quarter. These routine users are increasingly leveraging our OGM systems and software and we believe the recent upgrades to our software and compute platforms will drive further utilization. I’m very proud of our team for driving gross margin above 50% this quarter, which combined with our continued efforts to reduce costs, gives us confidence that our strategy shift is working,” commented
Q2 2025 Financial Results
For the three-month period ended

$11.3 million and non-GAAP operating expense1 by 53% to$8.8 million . - Ended the second quarter with cash, cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, and restricted short-term investments of
$27.4 million .
Recent Business Highlights
- Announced upgrades to VIA and Solve™ software for genomic data analysis and Stratys™ Compute server to make analysis of OGM, microarray, and NGS data easier, faster, and more accurate.
- Achieved a new quarterly record with 119 peer-reviewed publications, highlighting the growing utilization of OGM.
- Demonstrated utility of OGM through 16 studies, including oral presentations and posters, at the biennial meeting of the
European Cytogenomics Conference . - Highlighted the differentiated utility of OGM in detecting structural variants associated with genetic diseases, including constitutional disorders, hematological malignancies, and solid tumors through 21 oral presentations and posters at the
European Society of Human Genetics (ESGH) conference. - Announced the editorial panel of the
American Medical Association (AMA) established a second Category I Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for the use of OGM in cytogenomic genome-wide analysis to detect structural and copy number variations relative to constitutional genetic disorders. - Announced a new publication in HemaSphere demonstrating the utility of OGM for analysis of infant and toddler T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).
2025 Outlook
We anticipate the following results for Q3 2025 and the full year:
- Reiterating full year 2025 revenue in the range of
$26.0 to$30.0 million . - Initiating Q3 2025 revenue in the range of
$6.7 to$7.2 million . - Increasing new OGM installation expectations to 20 to 25 in full year 2025, compared to prior expectations of 15 to 20.
- Cash runway into the first quarter of 2026 enabled by cost savings and capital efficiency together with debt restructuring and equity capital raised at year-end and early January.

1 “Non-GAAP gross margin” and “non-GAAP operating expense” are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a description of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Bionano’s financial results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company has provided non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expense in this press release and the accompanying conference call, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes from gross margin reported in accordance with GAAP: stock-based compensation and restructuring expenses. Non-GAAP operating expense excludes from operating expense reported in accordance with GAAP: stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, transaction-related expenses, and loss on disposals. In addition, our reconciliation table provided at the end of this release contains certain additional non-GAAP metrics, including non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP intangible assets and other long-lived assets impairment, and non-GAAP restructuring costs, each with adjustments as presented in the table.
Bionano believes that each of these non-GAAP metrics is useful to investors and analysts as a supplement to its financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP for analyzing the Company’s performance and identifying trends in its business. Bionano uses these non-GAAP metrics internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of its performance in order to understand, manage and evaluate its business, to make operating decisions, and for forecasting and budgeting. Accordingly, Bionano believes presentation of these non-GAAP measure allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics it uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; 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 the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, each non-GAAP financial measure as used by Bionano in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation table has limits in its usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
For a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin to gross margin reported in accordance with GAAP and non-GAAP operating expense to operating expense reported in accordance with GAAP, please refer to the financial tables accompanying this press release.
