Exact Sciences Corp.(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NYSE">EXAS</a>) on Thursday reported a first-quarter 2025 EPS loss of 21 cents, down from a 37-cent loss a year ago, beating the analyst&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss estimate of 38 cents.</a>
The company reported quarterly sales of $706.78 million, up 11% year over year on a reported and core revenue basis, beating the consensus&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45149849/exact-sciences-announces-first-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimate of $688.64 million</a>.
Screening revenue was $540 million, an increase of 14%, and Precision Oncology's revenue was $166.8 million, an increase of 2%&nbsp;or 4% on a core revenue basis.
"Our strong first quarter results pave the way for 2025 to mark our most transformative year yet," said Kevin Conroy, chairman and CEO. &#8220;With growing momentum in our commercial organization and improved profitability, we raised our full-year outlook and continue to build a foundation for sustained long-term growth."
Guidance: Exact Sciences raised its fiscal 2025 sales guidance from $3.02 billion-3.08 billion to $3.07 billion-3.12 billion versus the consensus of $3.06 billion.
The guidance includes a screening sales forecast of $2.39 billion—$2.43 billion, compared to previous guidance of $2.35 billion—$2.39 billion.
Precision Oncology sales are expected to be $680 million—$695 million, compared to prior guidance of $675 million—$695 million.
The company expects 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $425 million—$455 million, up from previous guidance of $410 million—$440 million.
&#8220;Simply put, this was a solid first quarter out of the gate and we believe Exact is well positioned to continue to show modest upside throughout the year. This upside, coupled with pipeline catalysts like blood-based CRC screening test data later this summer, keep us positive on the long-term prospects,&#8221; William Blair writes.
Analyst Andrew F. Brackmann added, &#8220;In sum, this was a positive update and helped build support for a bullish thesis that can drive the stock higher over the course of the year. Shares trade at a very compelling forward revenue multiple of 3.5 times, leaving ample room for multiple expansion.&#8221;
William Blair reiterated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXAS/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Outperform rating</a>.
Price Action: At the last check on Friday, EXAS stock was up 11.3% at $52.50 during the premarket session.

Robust research and data from multiple abstracts predict the Cologuard&#xAE; test as the top choice for screening average-risk adults 45 and older, and confirms adoption across diverse demographics
Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced the company will present 15 abstracts during Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025, taking place May 3-6, 2025, in San Diego, California. The abstracts demonstrate high adherence and strong predicted preference for the Cologuard&#xAE; test along with abstracts on additional screening programs under development. The abstracts focused on the Cologuard test include data from more than half a million patients. DDW is the premier meeting for professionals working in gastroenterology, hepatology, GI endoscopy, and gastrointestinal surgery. DDW will make abstracts available <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Feposters.ddw.org%2Fddw%2F%3Fmenu%3D16%26browseby%3D3%26sortby%3D2%26ce_id%3D2855%26trend%3D19514%23%21&#x2A;menu%3D16&#x2A;browseby%3D3&#x2A;sortby%3D2&#x2A;ce_id%3D2855&#x2A;trend%3D19514&amp;esheet=54245104&amp;newsitemid=20250429379327&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=on+their+website&amp;index=1&amp;md5=0094ce3adc3df26b2d0f6a67a7ce0090">on their website</a> on May 3.

Exact Sciences to Present Cologuard Test Adherence and Predicted Preference Data at Digestive Disease Week 2025

Exact Sciences launch of Oncodetect A New Test Designed To Detect Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) Across Multiple Solid Tumors

Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, today announced the publication of a comprehensive review in JAMA Oncology that strengthens the evidence supporting the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test. The peer-reviewed article titled, "Genomic Assays for Breast Cancer in Diverse Populations: Prognostic and Predictive Insights," affirms that the Oncotype DX test provides accurate and reliable information to help guide breast cancer treatment decisions across all racial and ethnic groups.
While breast cancer mortality has declined overall, non-Hispanic Black women continue to face a 40% higher mortality rate compared to non-Hispanic White womenI. The publication acknowledges these disparities and the need to better understand the complex factors behind them. Despite the prognostic differences between racial and ethnic minority groups, the Oncoytpe DX Breast Recurrence Score test accurately predicts chemotherapy benefit regardless of race or ethnicity. While these disparities highlight the need for broader systemic change, advancing precision oncology remains critical and tools like the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test ensure treatment decisions are guided by reliable data for every patient.
The largest real-world SEER registry analysis to date—spanning more than 171,000 breast cancer patients and presented at ASCO 2024—provides powerful new evidence that the Oncotype DX test accurately predicts chemotherapy benefit across all racial and ethnic groups. In this study, which is not part of the JAMA Oncology review, the Recurrence Score&#xAE; result predicted chemotherapy benefit in Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White patientsII. These findings add to the body of evidence from key clinical trials—including NSABP&#x2A;-B20 and SWOG†-8814—which confirm that Oncotype DX is the only genomic test proven to predict chemotherapy benefit, the utility of which was further confirmed in randomized clinical trials including TAILORx and RxPONDER III,IV. With no racial or ethnic differences shown in its predictive value, the Oncotype DX test remains a trusted tool to help guide breast cancer treatment decisions for all patients.
