1.b. Last Insights on VNRX

VolitionRx Limited's recent performance was negatively impacted by a registered direct offering of up to $2.3 million, which may dilute existing shareholders' ownership. The company's financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2024 were announced, but the details of the earnings call transcript suggest a cautious tone. Additionally, the company's Nu.Q Cancer Diagnostics Test, while showing promise, may face intense competition in the liquid biopsy industry.

2. VolitionRx's Q3 2025 Earnings: Progress in Commercializing Nu.Q Platform

VolitionRx Limited reported a 32% year-over-year increase in revenue to $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2025. Operating expenses decreased by 10% year-over-year, primarily due to lower personnel costs and research and development expenses. The net loss was down 8% for the quarter and 20% for the first three quarters compared to the prior year. The actual EPS came out at '-0.04', in line with estimates. The company's net cash used in operating activities was $3.6 million, down 33% from the same period last year.

📋 Highlights
  • Revenue Growth & Cost Reduction: Q3 revenue rose 32% YoY to $0.6M; operating expenses fell 10% YoY, net cash used in operations dropped 33% to $3.6M.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Signed agreements with Werfen (APS testing) and Hologic (Nu.Q Discover service), with Hologic already contributing first-quarter revenue.
  • APS Market Potential: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) represents $85M annual TAM, with Werfen validating the product for exclusive commercialization rights.
  • Capture-Seq Breakthrough: New liquid biopsy method achieved 100% sensitivity/specificity in early trials, with active licensing discussions ongoing.
  • Long-Term TAM Vision: Targeting $25B annual TAM in oncology and NETosis, leveraging veterinary market success with i10 validation (Fuji partnership).

Commercial Progress and Partnerships

The company made significant progress in commercializing its Nu.Q platform in the human diagnostic market, announcing two major agreements: a research license and exclusive commercial option rights agreement with Werfen for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) testing, and a co-marketing and service agreement with Hologic for the Nu.Q Discover service. The APS diagnosis and monitoring market represents a total addressable market of approximately $85 million annually. Werfen has not contributed to revenue yet but is in the process of validating the product, while Hologic has made its first sale, which will contribute to revenue this quarter.

Capture-Seq Project and Licensing Opportunities

The company's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jake Micallef, provided an update on the Capture-Seq project, a new liquid biopsy method that targets a previously ignored class of cancer-derived DNA, showing 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting cancer in a small number of patients. The company is in active discussions with third parties regarding licensing opportunities, aiming to achieve cash neutrality by securing significant licensing agreements in the human space.

Valuation and Growth Prospects

Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 208.8%. With a P/S Ratio of 23.71, the market is pricing in significant growth expectations. The EV/EBITDA ratio is -2.28, indicating that the company's valuation is highly dependent on its future growth prospects. As the company progresses with its commercialization plan, with potential deals and licensing arrangements in the pipeline, it is expected to deliver on its growth prospects, potentially justifying the current valuation.

Future Outlook

The company expects growth across all pillars, with the partnerships with Werfen and Hologic expected to shape the top-line revenue trend in 2026. Volition is in active discussions with additional partners, and while it's hard to predict the timing of deals, the company expects to close more in 2026. As the company continues to progress on its commercialization plan, it is expected to deliver significant news in the coming months.
