Pipeline expands to include development of precision diagnostics for asthma and COPD and dermally delivered skin cancer therapeutics

SAN ANTONIO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive, accurate tests for the detection of early-stage lung cancer and other lung diseases and topically delivered therapeutics for squamous and basal cell skin cancers, today reported financial results and business highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Q2 2026 Highlights and Recent Events

• CyPath® Lung diagnostic test volume increased 216% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.
• CyPath Lung testing revenue for the first six months of 2026 increased 159% to approximately $835,000, compared with approximately $323,000 for the first six months of 2025.
• The Company delivered 1,097 CyPath Lung test reports during the first six months of 2026, compared with 390 during the same period of 2025.
• The number of physician offices and clinics ordering CyPath Lung for their patients increased 122% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
• Existing clients as of June 30, 2025, increased their CyPath Lung orders by 71% year over year during the first six months of 2026.
• The longitudinal clinical trial designed to evaluate the clinical performance of the CyPath Lung test has begun patient enrollment at 11 clinical sites, including nine Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and military medical centers. Financial support for the trial has been provided by the John P. Murtha Cancer Center Research Program (MCCRP), a research program within the Department of Surgery at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland.
• Positive preliminary therapeutic data support the development of topical treatments for squamous and basal cell skin cancers, with self-delivering stabilized siRNAs selectively killing melanoma, squamous and basal carcinoma cells while sparing healthy cutaneous cells.
• bioAffinity presented positive research results advancing its diagnostic platform designed to identify antibody drug receptors in sputum to match patients with the most appropriate biologic therapies, including receptors for dupilumab, a leading therapy for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and benralizumab, another asthma therapy.
• The Company published a comprehensive clinical review and white paper authored by Chief Medical Officer Gordon H. Downie, MD, PhD, that presents a practical clinical framework for incorporating CyPath Lung into pulmonary nodule evaluation and cancer surveillance.
• The Company announced a collaboration with Pictor®, Inc., a targeted proteomic platform company, to support development and commercialization of bioAffinity Technologies’ next-generation diagnostic tests designed to provide a more complete picture of lung inflammation in patients with asthma and COPD.
• The Society for Advanced Bronchoscopy (SAB) and National Association of Veterans Research Education Foundations (NAVREF) hosted webinars featuring multi-disciplinary panels of physicians who discussed CyPath Lung’s expanding role in the lung nodule care continuum.
• bioAffinity received notification of allowance from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property for a patent application protecting the use of defined antibodies and the porphyrin TCPP to label cell populations in sputum and the use of flow cytometry to determine the presence of lung cancer cells in sputum.
• In June 2026, bioAffinity completed a public offering that generated approximately $3.2 million in gross proceeds to support commercialization activities, clinical development, and general corporate purposes.

Management Commentary

“Our commercial strategy continues to gain significant traction as physicians increasingly recognize the clinical value of CyPath Lung for evaluating patients at high risk for lung cancer and surveilling lung cancer survivors for recurrence,” said Maria Zannes, President and Chief Executive Officer of bioAffinity Technologies. “During the second quarter, CyPath Lung test volume surged 216% year-over-year. This growth reflects accelerating physician adoption and clinical confidence in our technology. As more clinics integrate CyPath Lung into their standard of care workflows, peer-to-peer education is a powerful driving force behind building broader awareness of the test's ability to provide objective data that complements traditional imaging and supports faster, more informed clinical decisions.”

Ms. Zannes continued, “Alongside our commercial momentum, we achieved critical milestones across our strategic roadmap. In the second quarter, we expanded physician education initiatives, including scientific presentations, webinars, podcasts and real-world clinical case studies. We continued to make progress in our large-scale longitudinal study that includes VA and military medical centers, expanding our outreach to veterans. By leveraging our expertise in flow cytometry and AI and our work with siRNAs, we are building a robust pipeline of precision diagnostics for the large asthma and COPD markets and even larger therapeutic markets for topically delivered drugs that treat squamous and basal cell skin cancers.”

Ms. Zannes concluded, “Looking ahead, our priorities for the second half of 2026 are expanding physician adoption, increasing utilization among existing customers, and introducing CyPath Lung to new healthcare systems and specialty practices, including oncology. The positive results we see from research and development of precision diagnostics and a therapeutic for skin cancers are exciting as we advance our pipeline. We believe this balanced approach positions bioAffinity to create lasting value for patients, healthcare providers and shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $1.5 million, a 19% increase from the $1.3 million reported for the same period in 2025. The increase is primarily due to an increase in sales of CyPath Lung.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $4.8 million, compared with $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.

• Direct costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $1.1 million, compared to $1 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher CyPath Lung test volume.
• Research and development expenses increased 16% year-over-year to $362,000, driven by laboratory supply purchases and costs associated with relocating the research and development lab from the University of Texas at San Antonio to the Precision Pathology Laboratory services campus.
• Clinical development expenses rose to $476,000 from $129,000 in the second quarter of 2025 due to costs associated with initiating the longitudinal clinical study.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, up from $2.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee compensation, reflecting the addition of sales and administrative personnel to support the expanding commercialization of CyPath Lung.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $3.4 million, compared with a net loss of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, were $2.4 million, compared with $6.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

About CyPath Lung

CyPath Lung by bioAffinity Technologies is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease. CyPath Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. CyPath Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. In a published clinical trial of high-risk patients, CyPath Lung demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 88% accuracy and 99% negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small indeterminate lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. The high NPV gives physicians greater confidence that a negative result is truly negative, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary invasive and costly procedures. CyPath Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) and is not intended for use as a sole diagnostic tool and should be considered alongside other clinical findings.
