Bionano Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results and Provides Revenue Outlook for 2026

Conference call today, March 23, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET

SAN DIEGO, March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

 

“2025 demonstrated the momentum we built as a business,” commented Erik Holmlin, PhD, president and CEO of Bionano. “Our routine users of optical genome mapping (OGM) and VIA™ software remain the foundation of our revenue and gross margins, and we are pleased to see continued growth in utilization among this core customer base. The global OGM community continues to show extraordinary energy, from the record attendance and engagement at the Bionano Symposium 2026 – where leading laboratories described scaling OGM workflows to potentially thousands of samples per year – to the continued expansion of the published body of clinical research evidence supporting OGM across hematologic malignancies, constitutional genetics, and cell and gene therapy applications. We also saw the 47% increase in the 2026 Clinical Lab Fee Schedule payment determination for the Category I CPT code for OGM use in hematologic malignancies take effect. Together, these developments reinforce our confidence that OGM is becoming the standard for comprehensive, genome-wide structural variant analysis, and that Bionano is well-positioned to drive continued utilization growth and sustainable progress in 2026.”

 

Q4 2025 Financial Results

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of 2024:

Generated gross margin of 46%, compared to 1% for 2024, and non-GAAP gross margin1 of 47%, compared to 35% for full year 2024.
Reduced operating expenses by 55% to $46.5 million and non-GAAP operating expense1 by 47% to $36.6 million.
Ended full year 2025 with cash, cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, and restricted short-term investments of $29.6 million.

 

Recent Business Highlights:

Announced the clinical lab fee schedule (CLFS) for 2026 posted by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) indicated a 47% increase in payment determination for the Category I CPT Code for OGM use in hematologic malignancies.
Showcased advances and innovation in OGM at the Bionano Symposium 2026 across nearly 40 presentations spanning hematologic malignancies, oncology research and bioprocessing applications, and constitutional genetic disorder research.
Continued expansion of both international and regional networks focused on OGM, aimed at evaluating and standardizing laboratory workflows across global laboratories.
Growing momentum from OGM key opinion leaders, with initiatives driving points‑to‑consider documents and technical standards within leading professional societies—including ACMG, AMP, and CAP—supporting broader acceptance of OGM as a valuable tool for cytogenomic applications.
Announced a new publication from Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute describing use of OGM to detect genomic alterations introduced by gene editing technologies.
Highlighted advances in optical genome mapping through thirteen studies at AMP 2025 and nine studies at ASHG 2025.
Demonstrated the growing acceptance of OGM as a cytogenetic standard with 136 peer-reviewed publications in the fourth quarter of 2025.

2026 Outlook

We anticipate the following results for Q1 2026 and the full year 2026:

Initiating Q1 2026 revenue guidance in the range of $6.5 to $6.7 million.

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. The most directly comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures are gross margin, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense, research and development expense, intangible assets and other long-lived assets impairment, restructuring costs and operating expense, each as reported in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes from gross margin reported in accordance with GAAP: stock-based compensation and restructuring expenses, and impairment and disposal of reagent rentals and inventory. 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. Stock-based compensation and certain other items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are recurring expenses for us and are expected to continue in future periods.

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.
