Baxter Reports Fourth-Quarter 2025 Results

Baxter Reports Fourth-Quarter 2025 Results

  • Fourth-quarter sales from continuing operations of $2.97 billion increased 8% on a reported basis and 3% on an operational basis1,2
  • Fourth-quarter U.S. GAAP3 diluted earnings per share (EPS) (loss) from continuing operations of ($2.01); adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations of $0.44
  • Company advances ongoing board of directors refreshment

DEERFIELD, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX), a global medtech leader, today reported results for the fourth quarter of 2025.

“While we delivered sales growth across all segments, our fourth-quarter results did not meet our expectations, underscoring the importance of our focus on driving continuous improvement across the enterprise,” said Andrew Hider, president and CEO. “We recently introduced a new operating model that is designed to simplify our organization, accelerate innovation and improve performance. These changes further decentralize the business and embed critical functional roles directly within each division – bringing us closer to our customers and ultimately helping us to improve our say-do ratio and execute more consistently. While the work ahead will take time, I’m encouraged by the dedication of our employees and remain confident in Baxter’s long-term trajectory.”

Fourth-Quarter 2025 Companywide Financial Results

Note that continuing operations exclude Baxter’s Kidney Care business, which was acquired by Carlyle in January 2025, and is reported as discontinued operations.

  • Worldwide sales from continuing operations in the fourth quarter totaled approximately $2.97 billion, increasing 8% on a reported basis and 3% on an operational basis.

  • U.S. sales from continuing operations in the fourth quarter totaled approximately $1.55 billion, increasing 3% on a reported basis and declining 1% on an operational basis.

  • International sales from continuing operations in the fourth quarter totaled approximately $1.42 billion, increasing 14% on a reported basis and 8% on an operational basis.

  • On a U.S. GAAP basis, net income (loss) from continuing operations totaled ($1,035) million, or ($2.01) per diluted share which includes a goodwill impairment charge of $485 million related to the Front Line Care reporting unit and a valuation allowance on the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets of $330 million.

  • On an adjusted basis, net income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter was $0.44 per diluted share, decreasing 24% from the prior year driven primarily by unfavorable product mix, non-recurring items including inventory adjustments, and a higher effective tax rate.

Please see the attached schedules accompanying this press release for additional details on sales performance in the quarter, including breakouts by Baxter’s segments.

Fourth-Quarter 2025 Segment Results

  • Medical Products & Therapies sales for the fourth quarter totaled approximately $1.39 billion, an increase of 6% on a reported basis and 4% on an operational basis. Performance in the quarter reflected increased sales within the Infusion Therapies & Technologies division driven by strength in IV solutions reflecting a favorable comparison to the prior-year period, which was offset by reduced sales in infusion systems due to the previously disclosed shipment and installation hold of the Novum IQ LVP. Continued strong global demand for Advanced Surgery products also positively contributed to performance.
  • Healthcare Systems & Technologies sales for the fourth quarter totaled approximately $827 million, an increase of 5% on a reported basis and 4% on an operational basis. Performance in the quarter reflected continued demand for Care & Connectivity Solutions products and growth in the Front Line Care division, including the recent launch of the Welch Allyn Connex 360 Vital Signs Monitor.
  • Pharmaceuticals sales for the fourth quarter totaled approximately $668 million, an increase of 4% on a reported basis and 2% on an operational basis. Performance in the quarter reflected continued strength in Drug Compounding, which was partially offset by reduced sales within Injectables & Anesthesia.

Recent Highlights4

Baxter continues to advance key strategic priorities in pursuit of its Mission to Save and Sustain Lives. Among recent highlights, the company:

  • Announced the upcoming U.S. launch of the Dynamo Series smart stretcher, the latest innovation in Baxter’s leading portfolio of smart beds, surfaces and connected care solutions. The Dynamo Series is designed to address common challenges care teams face in hospital settings by helping to reduce the need for patient transfers and simplify patient positioning across a range of procedures.

  • Presented real-world data demonstrating the positive impact of smart infusion pump integration with hospital electronic medical records on patient safety, clinicians’ bedside productivity and programming compliance at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) 2025 Midyear Clinical Meeting. Developed in collaboration with the University of Texas Medical Branch, the data analyzed more than one million infusions on Baxter’s Spectrum IQ large volume infusion pumps.

  • Announced a three-year $2.6M grant from the Baxter Foundation to support the continuation of a partnership with Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy to provide science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs for students and teachers throughout the Chicagoland area.

Full-Year 2026 Financial Outlook

  • Reported sales growth from continuing operations: flat to 1%

  • Organic sales growth from continuing operations: approximately flat

  • Adjusted earnings from continuing operations per diluted share: $1.85 to $2.05

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures may enhance an understanding of the company’s operations and may facilitate an analysis of those operations, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the company’s reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures (which are included in the tables accompanying this release), may enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally in financial planning, to monitor business unit performance, and, in some cases, for purposes of determining incentive compensation. This information should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Operational sales growth is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of the Kidney Care MSA not reflected in reportable segments, reflects the previously announced exit of IV solutions in China in the Medical Products & Therapies reportable segment, and is calculated on a constant currency basis, as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant between the prior and current periods. Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of the Kidney Care MSA not reflected in reportable segments, impacts associated with business acquisitions or divestitures, and is calculated on a constant currency basis, as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant between the prior and current periods.

Other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and the accompanying tables (including within the tables that provide the company’s detailed reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures) are: adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted goodwill impairments, adjusted other operating income, net, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted other income (expense), net, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense (benefit), adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted income (loss) from discontinued operations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Baxter stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Those non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of special items. For the quarters and 12-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, special items for one or more periods included intangible asset amortization, business optimization charges, acquisition and integration costs, separation-related costs, expenses related to European medical devices regulation, certain legal matters, indefinite-lived asset impairments, goodwill impairments, investment impairments, product-related reserves, gain on sale of long-lived assets, gain on early extinguishment of debt, the gain on the sale of the Kidney Care business, Hurricane Helene costs, and certain tax matters. These items are excluded because they are highly variable or unusual and of a size that may substantially impact the company’s reported operations for a period. Additionally, intangible asset amortization is excluded as a special item to facilitate an evaluation of current and past operating performance and is consistent with how management and the company’s Board of Directors assess performance.

This release and the accompanying tables also include free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that Baxter defines as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is used by management and the company’s Board of Directors to evaluate the cash generated from Baxter’s operating activities each period after deducting its capital spending.

This release also includes forecasts of certain of the aforementioned non-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis as part of the company’s financial outlook for upcoming periods. Baxter calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic sales growth represents the company’s targeted future sales growth excluding sales to Vantive under the Kidney Care MSA not reflected in reportable segments, reflects impacts associated with business acquisitions or divestitures, and assumes foreign currency exchange rates remain constant in future periods. Additionally, forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes potential charges or gains that would be reflected as non-GAAP adjustments to earnings. Baxter provides forward-looking organic sales growth guidance and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because it believes that these measures provide useful information for the reasons noted above. Baxter has not provided reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted EPS guidance to forward-looking GAAP EPS guidance because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of legal proceedings, future business optimization actions, separation-related costs, integration-related costs, asset impairments and unusual gains and losses, and the related amounts are unavailable without unreasonable efforts (as specified in the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K). In addition, Baxter believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release includes forward-looking statements concerning the company’s financial results (including the outlook for full-year 2026) and certain business development and product development activities. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: the company is exposed to risks as a result of its strategic actions; the company may not achieve the anticipated benefits of its significant transactions, including the sale of its Kidney Care business and its acquisition of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc.; the company’s significant indebtedness requires it to use a substantial amount of its cash flow for debt service and constrains the company’s ability to pursue growth strategies and advance its R&D capabilities; there is substantial competition in the product markets in which the company operates and the risk of declining demand and pricing pressures could adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; the company may be unable to successfully introduce or monetize new and existing products or services or keep pace with changing consumer preferences and needs or advances in technology; the company may not achieve its financial goals; the company has experienced disruptions in its supply chain; global economic conditions, including inflation, have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, the company’s operations; the company may not be successful in achieving expected operating efficiencies and sustaining or improving operating expense reductions; continued consolidation in the health care industry or additional governmental controls exerted over pricing and access in key markets could lead to increased demands for price concessions or limit or eliminate the company’s ability to sell to certain of its significant market segments; the company’s operating results and financial condition have fluctuated and may in the future continue to fluctuate; management transition creates uncertainties, and the company may experience difficulties in managing such transitions, including attracting and retaining key employees; changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates have had, and may in the future have, an adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and liquidity; future material impairments in the value of the company’s goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets would negatively affect the company’s operating results; segments of the company’s business are significantly dependent on major contracts with group purchasing organizations, integrated delivery networks, and certain other distributors and purchasers; the company may be unable to obtain sufficient components or raw materials on a timely basis or for a cost-effective price; the company may experience manufacturing, sterilization, supply, or distribution difficulties; the company has experienced and may continue to experience issues with quality management or product quality; the company may experience breaches and breakdowns affecting its information technology systems or protected information, including from obsolescence, cyber security breaches and data leakage; the company is exposed to risks associated with incorporating artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and other emerging technologies into our products, services and operations; the company is subject to risks associated with doing business globally; a portion of the company’s workforce is unionized, and the company could face labor disruptions that would interfere with its operations; the effects of climate change, including legal, regulatory, or market measures related to climate change and other sustainability topics, could adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows; the company’s commitments, goals, activities, and disclosures related to sustainability and corporate responsibility matters, and the perception of the company’s activities in these areas, may fail to satisfy the differing expectations of key stakeholders on these matters; the company is subject to laws and regulations globally, and its failure to comply with rapidly changing and increasingly divergent expectations of regulators in different jurisdictions could adversely impact the company; if reimbursement or other payment for our current or future products is reduced or modified in the U.S. or in foreign countries, or there are changes to policies with respect to pricing, taxation, or rebates, the company’s business could suffer; increasing regulatory focus on, and expanding laws relating to, privacy, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity could impact the company’s business and expose it to increased liability; the company is party to a number of pending lawsuits and other disputes which may adversely impact it; the company could be subject to fines or damages and possible exclusion from participation in federal or state healthcare programs if it fails to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to its business; if the company is unable to protect or enforce its patents or other proprietary rights, or if the company becomes subject to claims or litigation alleging infringement of the patents or other proprietary rights of others, the company’s competitiveness and business prospects may be materially damaged; changes in tax laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities may have a negative impact on the company’s operating results; the company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws could limit its stockholders’ ability to choose their preferred judicial forum for disputes with the company or its directors, officers, or employees; the company recently decreased its quarterly dividend to $0.01 per share and cannot guarantee that it will increase the amount of dividends it pays, or that it will not cease paying dividends; the company’s common stock price has fluctuated significantly and may continue to do so; and other risks discussed in Baxter’s most recent filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and other SEC filings, all of which are available on Baxter’s website. Baxter does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements unless otherwise required by the federal securities laws.

1.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included costs related to programs to optimize its organization and cost structure. These restructuring and business optimization costs in 2025 and 2024 included costs primarily related to its initiatives to reduce its cost structure following the sale of its former Kidney Care segment. Additionally, in 2024 these costs related to its initiatives within its Healthcare Systems & Technologies segment including the discontinuing of a product line and rationalization of certain other manufacturing and distribution facilities.

2.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included integration costs which primarily reflected third-party consulting costs related to its ongoing integration of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hillrom).

3.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included incremental costs to comply with the European Union’s medical device regulations for previously registered products, which primarily consisted of contractor costs and other direct third-party costs. The company considers the adoption of these regulations to be a significant one-time regulatory change and believes that the costs of initial compliance for previously registered products over the implementation period are not indicative of its core operating results.

4.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 included charges primarily related to inventory and contract asset write-downs and estimates of warranty and remediation activities from field corrective actions across its infusion pump category. The company’s results of continuing operations in 2024 included charges related to warranty and remediation activities arising from field corrective actions on Healthcare Systems & Technologies products.

5.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included net charges related to Hurricane Helene. In 2025 this amount consisted of remediation, air freight and other costs. In 2024 this amount consisted of charges related to remediation, idle facility, air freight and other costs, partially offset by insurance recoveries. The company’s results of discontinued operations in 2024 included charges related to Hurricane Helene consisting of charges related to air freight and other costs.

6.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and discontinued operations in 2024 included separation-related costs primarily related to external advisors supporting its activities related to the sale of its former Kidney Care segment.

7.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 included an indefinite-lived asset impairment charge to reduce the carrying amount of a trade name asset to its fair value. The company’s results of continuing operations in 2024 included an indefinite-lived asset impairment charge to reduce the carrying amount of an in-process research and development (IPR&D) asset to its fair value.

8.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included goodwill impairment charges related to the Front Line Care reporting unit within its Healthcare Systems & Technologies segment.

9.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 included a gain on sale of a long-lived asset.

10.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 included a gain on the early extinguishment of debt.

11.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 included income tax expense primarily related to increases to its valuation allowances related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The company’s results of discontinued operations in 2025 included income tax expense primarily related to increases to its valuation allowances related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The company’s results of continuing operations in 2024 included income tax expense related to legislative changes under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 987 in the U.S. and net income tax expense related to a revaluation of the Swiss basis step-up deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance that arose from Swiss tax reform legislation in 2019 that was partially offset by a decrease in such valuation allowance to reflect the company’s current estimate of recoverability of the basis step-up deferred tax asset. The company’s results of discontinued operations in 2024 included income tax costs on internal reorganizations related to the sale of its former Kidney Care segment.

14.

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 included income tax expense primarily related to an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions, increases to its valuation allowances related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets and a step-up in Swiss Valuation allowances, partially offset by a tax benefit from an internal reorganization which resulted in a capital loss. The company’s results of discontinued operations in 2025 included indirect impacts of the carryback of tax benefits generated by the sale of its former Kidney Care business to prior years and an income tax benefit attributable to the allocation of reserves for uncertain tax positions to discontinued operations, partially offset by an income tax expense primarily related to increases to its valuation allowances related to the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The company’s results of continuing operations in 2024 included income tax expense consisting of a valuation allowance recorded to reduce the carrying amount of a tax attribute carryforward in the U.S., net income tax costs on internal reorganizations related to the sale of its former Kidney Care segment, legislative changes under IRC Section 987 in the U.S., and a revaluation of the Swiss basis step-up deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance that arose from Swiss tax reform legislation in 2019 that was partially offset by a decrease in such valuation allowance to reflect the company’s current estimate of recoverability of the basis step-up deferred tax asset. The company’s results of discontinued operations in 2024 included income tax costs on internal reorganizations related to the sale of its former Kidney Care segment, partially offset by an income tax benefit related to the deductibility of certain separation costs in the U.S.

*Totals may not foot due to rounding

Baxter calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic sales growth represents the company’s targeted future sales growth excluding the impact of the Kidney Care MSA not reflected in reportable segments, impacts associated with business acquisitions or divestitures, and is calculated on a constant currency basis, as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant between the prior and current periods. Additionally, forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes potential charges or gains that would be reflected as non-GAAP adjustments to earnings. Baxter provides forward-looking organic sales growth guidance and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because it believes that these measures provide useful information for the reasons noted above. Baxter has not provided reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted EPS guidance to forward-looking GAAP EPS guidance because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of legal proceedings, future business optimization actions, separation-related costs, integration-related costs, asset impairments and unusual gains and losses, and the related amounts are unavailable without unreasonable efforts (as specified in the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K). In addition, Baxter believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.

Advanced Drainage Systems Announces Proposed $500 Million Senior Notes Offering

Advanced Drainage Systems Announces Proposed $500 Million Senior Notes Offering

HILLIARD, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) (“ADS” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions in the stormwater and onsite wastewater industries, today announced that the Company intends, subject to market and other conditions, to commence an offering (the “Offering”) of up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2034 (the “Notes”) in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company expects to amend its existing senior secured credit facility to (i) increase the revolving credit facility from $600 million to $750 million, (ii) increase the term loan “B” from $408 million to $600 million, and (iii) extend the maturity date (the “Amended Credit Facility”). The closing of this Offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Amended Credit Facility. The completion of the Amended Credit Facility is also subject to customary closing conditions and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Amended Credit Facility may be completed, if at all.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds of the term loan “B” portion of the Amended Credit Facility, to refinance the outstanding balance under the existing senior secured credit facility and redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 5.000% senior notes due 2027 with the balance for general corporate purposes.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Notes and the related guarantees may not be offered or sold within the United States or to United States persons, except to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or the related guarantees, nor will there be any sale of the Notes, or the related guarantees in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to ADS’ 5.000% senior notes due 2027. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

CareDx Announces Clinical Validation Results for AlloHeme™, the First AI‑Powered NGS Surveillance Solution for AML and MDS Post‑Cell Therapy

CareDx Announces Clinical Validation Results for AlloHeme™, the First AI‑Powered NGS Surveillance Solution for AML and MDS Post‑Cell Therapy

AlloHeme Identified Cancer Relapse Earlier Than Standard Monitoring Methods in AML and MDS Patients Following Allogeneic HCT

Ultra‑Sensitive, Non‑Invasive Surveillance Solution Expected to Launch Commercially in the U.S. in 2027 as Part of CareDx’s Transplant+ Precision Medicine Portfolio

BRISBANE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNA) — The Transplant Company™, a leading precision medicine company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high‑value healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers, today announced pivotal clinical validation results of AlloHeme™, a non-invasive, next‑generation sequencing (NGS)–based, and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered monitoring test designed to predict relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). This approach enables the detection of emerging relapse signals earlier than traditional bone marrow-based or marker-specific methods, offering a universal, ultra‑sensitive, blood‑based surveillance solution for post‑HCT AML and MDS patients. The data, generated as part of the ACROBAT study (NCT04635384), were presented at the 2026 Tandem Meetings and will also be reviewed alongside commercial launch plans during CareDx’s investor webcast on February 12, 2026, at investors.caredx.com.

The successful clinical validation of AlloHeme represents a key milestone in CareDx’s Transplant+ strategy, expanding the Company’s precision medicine capabilities into cell therapy, hematology, and oncology by enabling highly sensitive, tumor-naive surveillance for relapse following HCT in patients with AML and MDS. By addressing a major gap in post-HCT relapse monitoring for AML and MDS patients, this initiative broadens CareDx’s impact beyond solid organ transplantation and into areas of growing clinical need.

“Cancer relapse remains a leading cause of mortality in patients with AML and MDS post allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation,” said Dr. Jeff Teuteberg, MD, CareDx Chief Medical Officer. “AlloHeme represents the next wave of innovation within CareDx’s Transplant+ strategy as we expand from solid organ transplantation into cell therapy, by providing clinicians with a highly sensitive, blood‑based tool that can help identify relapse earlier. The ACROBAT data highlight the potential clinical value this test offers physicians, patients, and cell therapy centers. We are excited to bring this innovative technology to market in a capacity that only CareDx offers – alongside a full suite of patient and digital solutions for the cell therapy community.”

The ACROBAT study is a prospective, multi‑center, observational trial conducted across 11 U.S. transplant centers. The 24‑month analysis included 198 evaluable subjects and 40 relapse events. AlloHeme demonstrated strong clinical performance, including 85% sensitivity and 92% specificity. This translated to a 95% negative predictive value, 79% positive predictive value, and an area under the curve of 0.89. The assay identified relapse a median of 41 days before clinical detection. At 6 months post-transplant, patients with positive AlloHeme results showed a 12-fold higher relapse risk compared to patients with negative AlloHeme results (p<0.001). AlloHeme also demonstrated greater sensitivity and lead time than traditional standard of care testing, including more invasive bone marrow and multi‑parameter flow cytometry (MFC‑MRD), as reported by sites in the clinical trial.

“These data represent an important step forward in relapse surveillance for AML and MDS,” said Dr. Ran Reshef, MD, MSc, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University and Director of Translational Research for the Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program. “AlloHeme offers a simple, effective strategy to identify high-risk patients early, potentially opening the door for preemptive interventions to prevent relapse and improve survival.”

A Strategic Expansion into Cell Therapy

The introduction of AlloHeme represents a significant step in CareDx’s Transplant+ strategic expansion into the cell therapy and hematologic malignancy market, where AML and MDS currently lack a highly sensitive and universally applicable commercial molecular monitoring solution. CareDx’s Transplant+ strategy includes developing a suite of molecular tools for cell therapy, hematology, and oncology that span allogeneic HCT relapse detection and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR‑T) persistence monitoring.

CareDx anticipates a sequenced U.S. launch of AlloHeme beginning with CLIA readiness in 2026, followed by commercial introduction in 2027 and payer coverage anticipated in 2028.

About CareDx

CareDx is a precision medicine company dedicated to improving outcomes for transplant patients and advancing organ health. The Company’s integrated solutions include non‑invasive molecular testing for heart, kidney, and lung transplants; laboratory products; digital health technologies; and patient solutions that support care before and after transplant. CareDx is the leading provider of genomics‑based information for transplant patients. For more information, please visit www.caredx.com.

NeoGenomics Introduces PanTracer Pro to Support Timely, Informed Solid Tumor Therapy Selection

NeoGenomics Introduces PanTracer Pro to Support Timely, Informed Solid Tumor Therapy Selection

New integrated testing approach provides potential to deliver earlier biomarker insights, reduce diagnostic uncertainty in complex cancer cases, and enable confident clinical decisions

FORT MYERS, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO), a leading provider of oncology diagnostic solutions that enable precision medicine, today announced the availability of PanTracer Pro, a new addition to the PanTracer® Family, designed to help clinicians navigate increasingly complex molecular testing workflows to make informed decisions for patients with advanced-stage solid tumors.

As precision oncology continues to evolve, clinicians face growing diagnostic complexity, increasing biomarker requirements, and mounting pressure to initiate treatment quickly, often before a complete molecular profile is available. Fragmented testing workflows, sequential ordering, and tissue limitations can delay care and introduce uncertainty at critical decision points. PanTracer Pro was developed to address these challenges more comprehensively and earlier in the diagnostic pathway.

“Every delay or unanswered question in the diagnostic process can affect how quickly patients begin treatment,” said Tony Zook, chief executive officer at NeoGenomics. “PanTracer Pro is designed to help clinicians get the information they need earlier and more reliably, so care teams can plan next steps with greater clarity and confidence across the care journey.”

PanTracer Pro integrates broad, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) with diagnosis-directed immunohistochemistry (IHC) and ancillary testing selected based on tumor type. By delivering comprehensive, guideline-aligned insights through a single coordinated order, PanTracer Pro enables physicians to ensure relevant biomarkers are assessed upfront rather than through multiple, sequential tests. Turnaround time for the test is 8–10 days, supporting timely real-world treatment decisions.

Beyond streamlining test selection, PanTracer Pro may help identify clinically relevant biomarkers that can be missed with incomplete testing. The ability of PanTracer Pro to combine broad DNA and RNA sequencing across more than 500 cancer-related genes with tumor-specific ancillary testing supports therapy selection, helps identify potential clinical trial options, and facilitates personalized treatment planning based on a patient’s unique tumor biology. When tissue samples are insufficient or unavailable, cases can automatically reflex to PanTracer LBx™, NeoGenomics’ pan-solid tumor liquid biopsy assay, allowing clinicians to continue diagnostic workup without restarting the process.

About NeoGenomics

NeoGenomics, Inc. is a premier cancer diagnostics company specializing in cancer genetics testing and information services. We offer one of the most comprehensive oncology-focused testing menus across the cancer continuum, serving oncologists, pathologists, hospital systems, academic centers, and pharmaceutical firms with innovative diagnostic and predictive testing to help them diagnose and treat cancer.

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), a global leader in AI-driven policy and regulatory intelligence, today announced a major expansion into the rapidly growing political prediction market, a category attracting increased attention as interest in outcome-based forecasting accelerates. The Company has introduced a preview experience at PoliticalPredictions.com, highlighting its plans to establish a presence across multiple layers of the political prediction ecosystem, leveraging the Company’s distinctive portfolio of relevant datasets, advanced AI capabilities, policy-focused customers, and deep domain expertise.

“Prediction markets are rapidly emerging as a powerful new way to understand, anticipate, and engage with outcomes across a wide range of domains,” said Josh Resnik, President & CEO of FiscalNote. “As public interest in politics and policy decisions accelerates, this category is poised to reshape how political insight is formed, shared, and acted upon, extending well beyond traditional audiences. With this expansion into prediction markets, FiscalNote is positioning itself to define this space over time, bringing its policy intelligence, data sets, and expertise into a category that is still taking shape.
