Lucid Diagnostics reported a 40% revenue increase to $1,200,000, matching its previous quarterly high. The company partnered with HOGUE to launch an esophageal precancer testing program and strengthened its balance sheet with a $16,100,000 underwritten public offering. However, the company faces challenges in securing broad commercial coverage and uncertainty regarding the timeline for finalizing Medicare coverage.
Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (Nasdaq: LUCD) reported robust financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with revenue reaching $1.2 million, a 40% increase from the previous quarter. The company's non-GAAP EPS was $(0.10), an improvement over the expected $(0.20). Cash and cash equivalents totaled $31.1 million as of June 30, 2025, providing a strong financial cushion for future operations [1].
Lucid Diagnostics processed 2,756 EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA Tests, generating $1.2 million in revenue, which exceeded analyst estimates [1]. The company's operating expenses increased by 3.1% compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately $12.5 million. This increase was driven by stock-based compensation expenses, which totaled $1.1 million [1].
A significant milestone in the company's journey is the upcoming MolDx CAC meeting on September 4, 2025, to review and discuss the clinical evidence related to Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L39256 for EsoGuard. This meeting is a crucial step in securing positive Medicare coverage for the company's product [1].
Lucid Diagnostics also announced the upcoming MolDx CAC meeting on September 4, 2025, to review and discuss the clinical evidence related to Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L39256 for EsoGuard. This meeting is a significant milestone in securing positive Medicare coverage for the company's product [1].
The company's financial results were supported by a strengthened balance sheet, resulting from a recent public offering of common stock, which netted approximately $16.1 million in proceeds [1]. This offering, combined with the company's existing cash position, extends its runway well into 2026.
Lucid Diagnostics has also made strides in expanding access to its esophageal precancer testing program. It partnered with Hoag, a nationally-recognized regional healthcare delivery network, to launch a comprehensive program, expanding access to at-risk patients [1]. The company joined the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indexes, enhancing its visibility and access to a broader base of institutional investors [1].
However, Lucid Diagnostics faces challenges in securing broad commercial coverage and uncertainty regarding the timeline for finalizing Medicare coverage. The company is actively working to address these challenges and expects to provide updates on its progress in the near future.
