FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for precision oncology, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided recent business accomplishments.

Recent Business Accomplishments

• Raised approximately $35.0 million in net financing proceeds from Tempus AI, Inc. (Tempus), consisting of $18.4 million from Tempus’ exercise of all its common stock warrants, at an average price of $2.00 per share, and $16.6 million net of expenses, from Tempus’ purchase of common stock at a price of $5.07 per share
• Raised an additional $27.2 million in net proceeds from selling common stock under the Company’s At-The-Market (ATM) program at a weighted-average price of $5.84 per share
• Delivered 945 total molecular tests in the third quarter of 2024, a 68% increase compared with the prior quarter
• Highlighted clinical performance of NeXT Personal® at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain:
  • Significant results from the TRACERx study presented by Professor Charles Swanton of University College London and the Francis Crick Institute with an expanded study cohort of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with strong detection rates for residual cancer in the challenging landmark period (first 10 to 120 days immediately after surgery)
  • Compelling data for late-stage cancer patients on immunotherapy presented by Dr. Rodrigo Toledo of the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology that accurately linked significant decreases in ctDNA levels in response to immunotherapy to longer overall survival than patients who did not respond well

“Our 96% biopharma revenue growth attests to the increasing customer confidence in both our technology’s and platform’s ability to provide valuable insights into patient care. In addition, the compelling NeXT Personal data presented by our collaborators over the past year provides important clinical evidence to support obtaining Medicare coverage,” said Chris Hall, Chief Executive Officer. “As we continue to execute on our Win-in-MRD strategy, we are more confident than ever in our ability to become a leader in patient testing.”
