[{"type":"text","content":"Higher pathology revenues and lower cost structure drive down product revenue breakeven point from $8M to $6M\nNEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Specialty cancer diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPO) announced that due to the increased pathology revenue, and the recent operational efficiencies, the company has reduced the revenue required from the products division to reach breakeven from $8M to $6M annually, or $1.5M per quarter, 25% below previous estimates. This means that the company anticipates reaching cash flow breakeven sooner. Three key factors drive this positive change: Increased Pathology revenues. As previously announced, the company has exceeded its target for pathology revenues, meeting its goal of a $14M run rate in August, 4 months earlier than planned. As this business continues to grow with September revenues also expected to exceed the breakeven point, and becomes a cash generating division, this positively impacts the company’s overall breakeven calculation.Improved gross margins. Alongside the increased revenues in the pathology business, scale economies within the lab lead to improved gross margins. This means that each dollar of revenue contributes a higher percentage to the bottom line, bringing the company closer to cash flow breakeven.Impact of cost reduction initiatives. As more of the cost reduction initiatives begin to impact company operations and cash, breakeven revenue targets are further reduced. The remaining driver for breakeven is product revenues. As a result of the above factors, the threshold for product revenues required to bring the company to cash flow breakeven is lower, and management believes that, at the current pace, it will be able to reach financial independence with its existing cash reserves. “It is gratifying to see the team’s effort yield such promising financial results for our business. Although we are still confident that we will reach and exceed the original targets for product revenue, it’s great to know that the goal of financial independence is becoming more attainable every day,” said Ilan Danieli, CEO. “The fruits of our hard work are beginning to show, and I am confident that this is just the beginning of the company turning the page and delivering promising results to our shareholders.” About Precipio Precipio has built a platform des...
