Paul J. Diaz, President and Chief Executive Officer:“In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to support our patients and healthcare providers with critical genetic insights needed to drive better health outcomes. This quarter we continued to see sequential improvement in test volumes and revenue trends, while executing on our strategic transformation plan to simplify our business, improve customer experience, build new tech-enabled commercial capabilities, and focus on our biggest growth opportunities. We are well underway in resetting our base of operations, with three planned business unit divestitures in progress, which will help us concentrate on our core products and reduce complexity and cost.”
“We are now focused on three core business areas where there are strong long-term market opportunities and growing demand for genetic insights: women’s health, oncology, and mental health.”
“Our progress to date is a direct reflection of the passion and energy of our 2,700 Myriad Genetics teammates. I want to thank them for putting our patients and customers first and for all they are doing to implement our transformation plan while executing on our day-to-day priorities. I look forward to sharing an update on our performance, and our transformation and growth plans, at our Investor day on May 4.”
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in genetic testing and precision medicine, today announced financial results for its quarter ended Dec. 31, 2020 and provided an update on recent business performance. Financial Highlights:Myriad Genetics delivered total revenue in the quarter of $154.6 million which declined 21% year-over-year but increased 6% sequentially from the fiscal quarter ending Sep. 30, 2020, with improved commercial execution and a more stable pricing environment.
Business Performance and Highlights
Women’s HealthThe Myriad Women’s Health business -- which serves women who are assessing their risk of cancer, and women who are pregnant or planning a family -- recorded revenue of $56.3 million in the quarter, a decline of 33% year-over-year. Elective testing for hereditary cancer has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to delayed elective office visits. The COVID-19 surge in the December quarter led many women to postpone elective testing. The company’s prenatal business continued to demonstrate improving fundamentals with test volumes increasing 15% year-over-year and 7% sequentially.
OncologyThe Myriad Oncology business provides hereditary cancer testing for patients who have cancer, and products such as the EndoPredict® breast cancer prognostic test, the Prolaris prostate cancer test, and it’s myChoice CDx and BRACAnalysis CDx products for predicting response to PARP inhibitors. The Oncology business delivered total revenue of $60.4 million, down 6% relative to revenue in the December quarter of last year.
Mental HealthMyriad’s Mental Health business -- which consists of the GeneSight Psychotropic test that helps physicians understand how genetic alterations impact response to antidepressant and other psychotropic medications -- saw revenue of $18.0 million in the quarter compared to $22.5 million in the same period last year. Total revenue for GeneSight was up 51% sequentially and test volumes increased 13% sequentially.
AutoimmuneMyriad’s Autoimmune business -- which consists of the Vectra test for measuring disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis -- generated revenue of $8.9 million in the quarter compared to $10.3 million in the same period last year.
OtherOther revenue – comprised of Myriad RBM contract research services for the pharmaceutical industry and the myPath Melanoma diagnostic test in dermatology -- was $11.0 million in the December quarter versus $14.3 million in the same period in the prior year. The decline in revenue is entirely attributable to the previously announced sale of Myriad’s German clinic which occurred at the beginning of calendar year 2020.
