DermTech Reports First-Quarter 2024 Financial Results

- Average selling price (ASP) for the DermTech Melanoma Test (DMT) increased 24 percent year-over-year

- Test revenue increased 7 percent versus the first quarter of 2023

DermTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMTK) (DermTech or the Company), a leader in precision dermatology enabled by a non-invasive skin genomics technology, today reported its first-quarter 2024 financial results.

First-Quarter 2024 Financial Results

  • Billable sample volume declined 14 percent from the first quarter of 2023 to approximately 15,360.
  • Test revenue was $3.7 million, up 7 percent from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to a higher ASP for the DMT.
  • Total revenue was $3.8 million, an 11 percent increase from the first quarter of 2023, driven by higher test revenue.
  • Cost of test revenue was $3.1 million, a 19 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2023, yielding a test gross margin of 16 percent, compared to negative 11 percent for the first quarter of 2023. Cost of test revenue decreased primarily because of lower employee-related costs.
  • Sales and marketing expenses were $7.8 million, a 49 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower employee-related and marketing expenditures.
  • Research and development expenses were $3.3 million, a 26 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2023, largely due to lower employee-related and clinical study costs.
  • General and administrative expenses were $10.1 million, a 15 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by lower employee-related costs. The first quarter of 2024 also included an approximately $1.3 million non-recurring restructuring charge.
  • Net loss was $20.0 million, or ($0.58) per share, which included $2.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as compared to $31.3 million, or ($1.02) per share, for the first quarter of 2023, which included $4.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
  • Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities were $42.4 million as of March 31, 2024.
