Progenity Provides Corporate Updates and Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Reported 84 thousand tests in the third quarter, up 12% compared to the second quarter
Achieved a preeclampsia test analytical verification milestone
Management will host conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT
SAN DIEGO, November 9, 2020 – Progenity, Inc. (Nasdaq: PROG), a biotechnology company with an established track record of success in developing and commercializing molecular testing products, today provided corporate updates and reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Progenity made significant progress during the third quarter, both with its revenue generating business and especially with its innovation pipeline programs. The company continued to grow its overall volume demand and increased its in-network position by adding national and regional contracts, and saw additional commercial and government payors covering average risk NIPT. The company also announced it had secured additional COVID-19 testing capacity in order to meet anticipated higher demand for the test ahead of the winter season.
On the innovation front, the company announced it successfully achieved a preeclampsia test analytical verification milestone, with the program now transferred to the operations group which will be responsible for both validation and full commercialization of the test in 2021.
“We continue to make progress in establishing a strong foundation with our core molecular testing business and anticipate these efforts to translate into stronger and consistent operating performance near term. We are particularly excited with the progress and transformational potential of our R&D pipeline and look forward to our upcoming preeclampsia R&D day for investors on November 20, 2020,” said Harry Stylli, Ph.D., CEO, chairman of the board, and co-founder of Progenity.
