    - Covered lives increased to 126 million

    - Cash runway through the third quarter of 2024

    DermTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:DMTK) ("DermTech" or the "Company"), a leader in precision dermatology enabled by a non-invasive skin genomics platform, today reported its first-quarter 2023 financial results.

    "In the last few months, we had excellent overall progress with payers and strong execution by our commercial organization," said John Dobak, M.D., CEO, DermTech. "We expanded coverage for the DermTech Melanoma Test (DMT) by nearly 40 percent since the end of 2022. Payer momentum remains strong across a broad mix of large and medium-sized regional payers, governmental payers, self-funded employer alliances and independent technology assessment organizations."

    Dr. Dobak continued, "We continue to see healthy signs for steadily improving average selling price (ASP) due to our recent increase in covered lives. We believe anchoring our effort around monetizing our already significant demand is the best way to reach a revenue inflection point and preserve our cash runway. We expect DMT volume to be roughly flat this year as we've shifted our focus to monetizing existing demand by increasing our proportion of reimbursed billable samples."

    Dr. Dobak concluded, "Prudently deploying our capital is a key priority as we push for additional savings in our cash expenses. Considering our adjusted operating plan and ability to access capital, we expect our cash runway to take us through the third quarter of 2024."

    First-Quarter 2023 Financial Results

    • Billable sample volume grew 24 percent from the first quarter of 2022 to approximately 17,800.
    • Test revenue was $3.4 million, down 3 percent from the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to changes in collection estimates for tests run in prior periods.
    • Total revenue was $3.5 million, a 6 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2022, driven by lower contract revenue.
    • Cost of test revenue was $3.8 million, a 7 percent increase from the first quarter of 2022, yielding a test gross margin of negative 11 percent, compared to 0 percent for the first quarter of 2022.
    • Sales and marketing expenses were $15.4 million, roughly flat versus the first quarter of 2022.
    • Research and development expenses were $4.4 million, a 30 percent decrease from the first quarter of 2022, largely due to lower employee-related and lab costs.
    • General and administrative expenses were $11.9 million, a 39 percent increase from the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by higher infrastructure costs due to the Company's new facility and higher employee-related expenses.
    • Net loss was $31.3 million, or ($1.02) per share, which included $4.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as compared to $30.1 million, or ($1.01) per share, for the first quarter of 2022, which included $3.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
    • Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term marketable securities were $108.4 million as of March 31, 2023. DermTech believes it has sufficient cash resources to fund its planned operations through the third quarter of 2024.

    Other Business Highlights

    • In March 2023, the Company presented four new posters at the 2023 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting. The four new posters included data on the development of a basal cell carcinoma diagnostic gene signature and evaluation of the DMT in higher Fitzpatrick Skin Types. The posters were titled:
      • Non-invasive detection of RNAs associated with basal cell carcinoma. Bahrami-Samani et al.
      • Pigmented lesion assay performance in Fitzpatrick Phototypes IV-VI. Rock et al.
      • Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes: More than just skin deep. Xayavong et al.
      • An analysis of the average age of skin cancer reported by subjects with Fitzpatrick Phototypes I through VI. Herron et al.
