Revenue for the first nine months up 84% to $22 million

Continued strong growth attributed to increased payor coverage

IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL, BELGIUM – November 2, 2016 – MDxHealth SA (Euronext: MDXH.BR), today announced its third quarter 2016 Business Update for the period ended September 30, 2016.

Dr. Jan Groen, Chief Executive Officer of MDxHealth, commented: “The sharp revenue growth has been driven by the strong increase in payor coverage for our lead product ConfirmMDx in the key U.S. market. We anticipate continuing acceleration in the adoption of ConfirmMDx among payors and physicians, broadening availability to patients and preventing thousands of unnecessary and often painful biopsies. In doing so we expect our strong Q3 performance to continue into Q4 and maintain our recently upgraded guidance for the full year.”

“Since the launch of our SelectMDx ‘liquid biopsy’ test early 2016, we have tested more than 2,000 men, clearly showing the value of the test for both urologists and their patients,” continued Dr. Groen. “This is further supported by the rapid adoption by the payor community, with nine insurance companies in the U.S. already covering the SelectMDx test.”

Commercial revenues up 84% for the first 9 months

Total Revenues for the first nine months of 2016 amounted to $22.0 million, representing 84% growth over the same period a year earlier, primarily due to an increase in ConfirmMDx test sales in the U.S.

Operating Expenses were $24.8 million in the first nine months of 2016, versus $17.6 million in the same period in 2015, with the increase attributable to our continued investment in product development, sales, marketing and the managed care sales team.

Net Loss of $10.3 million for the first nine months of 2016 is unchanged compared to the same period in 2015. Continued investment in U.S. commercial operations and a higher cost of sales due to increasing volumes of ConfirmMDx were offset by higher recognized sales revenues.

Cash Position as of September 30, 2016, was $15.1 million in cash and equivalents, compared to $35.1 million on September 30, 2015. Average net cash burn in the first nine months of 2016 was approximately $1.8 million per month.

Q4 and H1 2017 Outlook

The Company maintains its upgraded guidance for projected 2016 revenues, which are expected to increase by more than 60% over 2015. This sharp growth can be attributed to accelerated adoption of the ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer test by urologists in the U.S.  The test’s inclusion in the U.S. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Guidelines in Q1 2016 has facilitated successful contract negotiations with a number of new payors, leading to a significant increase in revenues. In addition, the Company believes that the recent award of a unique Category I CPT code for ConfirmMDx from the American Medical Association will streamline reimbursement from government and commercial payors, further accelerating adoption among payors and physicians.

For the acceleration of the second prostate cancer product SelectMDx, the Company has completed a health economic study for the Netherlands and data have been submitted for publication. The Company also completed a study comparing the SelectMDx test with MRI scan outcome data and intends to presents and publish these data. In preparation for the launch of MDxHealth’s third product AssureMDx for bladder cancer, a multi-center clinical validation study has been completed and submitted for publication. Publication of these data is important to support a successful introduction and launch of the AssureMDx test.

MDxHealth maintains its guidance that underlying Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBIDTA) for the year ended 2016 are expected to improve compared to 2015.

The Company continues to work towards broadening its portfolio and continues to make progress on the development of tests for the diagnosis of other indications, including kidney cancer, with the aim of providing a full suite of products for the diagnosis of urological cancers.
