Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit was $21.6 million, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $(90.3) million.¹

"GRAIL continues to execute across our clinical and commercial priorities. We presented detailed performance, safety, and clinical utility results from the NHS-Galleri and PATHFINDER 2 studies at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, further establishing Galleri as the only MCED with extensive clinical validation from interventional studies in the screening population. We also expanded access through new and existing partnerships," said Josh Ofman, Chief Executive Officer at GRAIL. "Following our PMA submission earlier this year, we anticipate an FDA advisory committee in the fall."

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, GRAIL reported:

• Revenue: Total revenue, comprised of screening and development services revenue, was $44.7 million, an increase of $9.1 million or 26%.
• Net loss: Net loss was $110.2 million, an improvement of $3.7 million or 3%.
• Gross loss: Gross loss was $12.6 million, an improvement of $5.2 million or 29%.
• Adjusted gross profit¹: Adjusted gross profit was $21.6 million, an increase of $5.4 million or 34%.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹: Adjusted EBITDA was $(90.3) million, an increase in adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.9 million or 15%.

Cash position: Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities totaled $861.6 million as of June 30, 2026.

Recent business highlights include:

• Presented detailed results from the two largest multi-cancer early detection (MCED) studies completed to date, NHS-Galleri and PATHFINDER 2, at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in May.
  
  
  • Clinical utility results from the NHS-Galleri trial showed:
    • While Galleri did not result in a significant decrease in combined Stage III and IV cancers, it did show reduced Stage IV diagnoses of 12 prespecified aggressive cancers by 22% and 26% in the second and third screening rounds, respectively, demonstrating a substantial reduction in late-stage cancer diagnoses. A Stage IV reduction was also observed across all cancers.
    • Adding Galleri to standard-of-care screening increased cancer detection fourfold.
    • The addition of Galleri resulted in a 128% increase in the number of Stage I and II screen detected cancers.
    • Galleri detected 366 Stage I and II cancers, more than the 290 cancers of any stage detected through the entirety of the U.K.'s standard-of-care cancer screening program in the control arm.
    • Of the 937 cancers detected by Galleri, approximately 70% were Stage I through III, approximately 40% were Stage I and II, and approximately 20% were Stage I.
    • Further, the addition of Galleri was associated with a 25% reduction in cancers diagnosed after emergency presentation.
    • Overall, these data support the potential of MCED screening at population scale to identify cancers before symptoms appear — when they can be treated more easily and are potentially curable.
  • Findings from PATHFINDER 2 showed:
    • Adding Galleri to recommended screenings, enabled approximately 60% of cancers to be identified by screening. This represents a 6.5x increase in number of cancers detected as compared with USPSTF A & B recommended screenings (breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung) and a 3x increase in number of cancers detected as compared with USPSTF A, B & C ratings (breast, cervical, colorectal, lung and prostate).
    • 53% of newly detected cancers were identified in Stage I and II and more than two-thirds were identified at Stages I through III. Nearly half were cancers without recommended screening options.
    • The test accurately identified the Cancer Signal Origin (CSO) more than 90% of the time, enabling efficient diagnostic workups.
    • Overall, the results demonstrated substantially increased cancer detection with robust performance and a favorable safety profile.
      
      
• Completed the expansion of our field sales and medical teams to continue to drive commercial momentum for the Galleri test. 
   
• Announced a collaboration with Priority Health to make the Galleri test available to its self-insured employer groups, making it the first Michigan health plan to enable employer groups to add Galleri to their existing cancer screening coverage. The health plan serves more than 1.4 million members across Michigan and beyond and previously launched coverage for Galleri in its Thrive and Thrive Plus Medicare Advantage plans in 2025.
   
• In June, GRAIL completed a previously announced $110 million equity financing with Samsung C&T Corporation and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. through the purchase of GRAIL common stock. GRAIL and Samsung C&T intend to collaborate to commercialize the Galleri test in South Korea, with the potential to expand into additional Asian markets, including Japan and Singapore, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions.
   
• GRAIL anticipates the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will hold an advisory committee in the fall to review the Premarket Approval (PMA) application for the Galleri multi-cancer early detection blood test. The PMA submission is focused on test performance and safety results from 25,000 consented participants in the U.S.-based PATHFINDER 2 study with one year of follow-up and from the prevalent screening round (first year) of the 140,000-participant NHS-Galleri trial, the largest, and only, randomized, controlled intended use trial of any MCED test. The submission is also supported by a bridging analysis to compare performance of the version of Galleri used in clinical trials to the updated version that has been submitted to the FDA for pre-market approval.

About Galleri® 
The Galleri multi-cancer early detection test is a proactive tool to screen for cancer. With a simple blood draw, the Galleri test can identify DNA shed by cancer cells, which can act as a unique "fingerprint" of cancer, to help screen for some of the deadliest cancers that don't have recommended screening today, such as pancreatic, esophageal, ovarian, liver, and others. The Galleri test can be used to screen for cancer before a person becomes symptomatic, when cancer may be more easily treated and potentially curable. The Galleri test can indicate the origin of the cancer, giving healthcare providers a roadmap of where to explore further. The Galleri test requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider and should be used in addition to recommended cancer screenings such as mammography, colonoscopy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, or cervical cancer screening. The Galleri test is recommended for adults with an elevated risk for cancer, such as those aged 50 or older.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
In addition to our financial results provided throughout this press release that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release also includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial disclosure includes Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP in conjunction with our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations.

• Adjusted Gross Profit is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operational performance, as it represents the results of revenues and direct costs, which are key components of our operations. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it reflects the gross profitability of our operations, and excludes the costs associated with our sales and marketing, product development, general and administrative activities and the impact of our financing methods and income taxes.
  
  We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit (loss) (as defined below) adjusted to exclude amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation allocated to cost of revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss from operations, net earnings or loss and other GAAP measures of income (loss) or profitability. Gross profit (loss) (as defined below) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

• Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, different operational and ownership histories, and/or different forms of employee compensation.
  
  Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income (loss) or income (loss) from operations. Our management recognizes that Adjusted EBITDA has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
  
  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, depreciation, intangible and other assets impairment, benefit from income taxes, interest income and restructuring expenses. These adjustments include non-cash items, significant non-recurring charges and/or other non-operating expenses that we do not believe are indicative of ongoing or future business operations.
  
  Adjusted EBITDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss from operations, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income (loss). Additionally, it is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest and tax payments. Further, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. Net loss is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Full reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is set forth in tabular form following the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
