REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GHDX) today reported financial results and business progress for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Product revenue was $70.5 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $63.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 11 percent.  There was no contract revenue in either period.

International product revenue grew by 29 percent to $11.9 million compared to the same period last year and represented 17 percent of product revenue in the second quarter of 2014.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2014 was $4.6 million, compared with a net loss of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.  Basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders was $0.15 for the second quarter of 2014, compared with a basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.10 for the same period in 2013.

"In the second quarter, we delivered 17 percent growth in test volume and double-digit revenue growth by increasing penetration of the U.S. invasive breast cancer market and through continued strong international adoption and reimbursement success," said Kim Popovits, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Genomic Health. "Additionally, we delivered strong prostate cancer test growth and announced positive results from an additional large clinical validation study, which we believe will drive reimbursement and further adoption of our test.  We look forward to presenting complete results from this study and the landmark DCIS breast cancer study later this year."

Additional Second Quarter 2014 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Financial Results

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $75.1 million, compared with total operating expenses for the comparable period in 2013 of $66.6 million.

Product revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $137.5 million, compared with $126.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 9 percent.   Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $137.5 million, compared to $126.8 million for the comparable period in 2013.

Net loss was $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with a net loss of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. 

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2014 were $105.7 million, compared with $105.4 million at December 31, 2013. 

In the second quarter, more than 24,050 Oncotype DX® test results were delivered, an increase of 17 percent, compared with more than 20,650 test results delivered in the same period in 2013. International test results grew 32 percent during the quarter and represented approximately 20 percent of total test volume in the quarter.

"Our first half net loss reflects planned investments in the international and prostate cancer markets," said Brad Cole, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Genomic Health.  "We anticipate planned investments in DCIS, prostate and international markets to continue through the end of the year, resulting in second half net losses similar to the first half."

Recent Business Highlights:

Oncotype DX Commercial Progress

• In Canada, established Oncotype DX breast cancer test coverage for an additional 3.6 million lives in the province of Alberta, bringing the total lives covered to more than 86 percent of the country's population.
• In Spain, the Agency for Health Technology Assessment of Andalusia (AETSA) published the Evaluation Report of Genomic Platforms, recommending Oncotype DX as the only breast cancer test to support therapeutic decision-making in patients with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, invasive breast cancer.
• In Mexico, private health insurer AXA granted reimbursement for the Oncotype DX breast cancer test, covering 1.2 million lives.
• Announced that the Oncotype DX breast cancer test was the first multi-gene test for cancer management to be included in the National Institutes of Health's genetic testing registry.
• Established Medicaid coverage in three additional states for the Oncotype DX breast cancer test.

Pipeline, Presentations and Publications

• Announced positive preliminary results from an additional independent clinical validation study conducted by the Center for Prostate Disease Research (CPDR), demonstrating that the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score (GPS) predicts multiple clinical endpoints related to disease aggressiveness in men with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer.  This study validated the Oncotype DX prostate cancer test as a predictor of biochemical recurrence, a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following surgery, which is a longer-term measure of outcomes for aggressive disease.  It also reconfirmed the test's ability to predict adverse pathology from the biopsy, as previously demonstrated in a published validation study performed by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). 
• Announced positive preliminary results from a large, independent clinical validation study of Oncotype DX in patients with a pre-invasive form of breast cancer, also known as DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Complete data has been submitted for presentation at the 2014 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. 
• European Urology published groundbreaking results from three studies demonstrating that the Oncotype DX prostate cancer test predicts aggressiveness at diagnosis and significantly increases the number of low-risk patients who can confidently choose active surveillance.
• Presented results from nine abstracts at the American Society of Clinical Oncology® (ASCO®) Annual Meeting, including data demonstrating that the Oncotype DX breast cancer test predicts late recurrence five to 15 years out; the unique, practice-changing impact of Oncotype DX to optimize cancer care; and the importance of utilizing multiple biological pathways to predict tumor behavior in prostate and renal cancers.
• Presented results of a new analysis suggesting that the Oncotype DX prostate cancer test predicts recurrence risk after prostatectomy, regardless of post-surgery treatment, at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting.
• Received acceptance to present one study at the upcoming ASCO Breast Cancer Symposium September 4-6.
• Received acceptance to present two studies at the upcoming American Society of Radiation Oncology® (ASTRO®) Meeting September 14-17.
• Received acceptance to present eight studies in multiple tumor types at the upcoming European Society of Medical Oncology® (ESMO®) Congress September 26-30.
