Our Take on EXAS
Exact Sciences exited the first quarter of 2025 with a narrower-than-expected loss and revenue beat. The results also came in above the company’s expectations amid one of the challenging flu seasons in recent years. Cologuard’s broad-based growth was led by continued success in rescreens, care gap programs and growth in new ordering providers. Exact Sciences launched its next-generation colon cancer screening test, Cologuard Plus, with Medicare coverage and quality measure inclusion, further enhancing its screening capabilities.
Additionally, year-over-year gross margin expansion and a reduced adjusted operating loss are highly encouraging. The raised revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year also bodes well.
