Transaction Expected to Sharpen CareDx's Focus on Core Precision Medicine Testing Services and Patient and Digital Solutions, Improve Financial Flexibility, Simplify Operating Model, and Support AEBITDA Margin Expansion
Expects First Quarter Testing Services Revenue Growth of Approximately 48% Year Over Year, Testing Volume Growth of Approximately 17% Year-Over-Year
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 that it has entered into a definitive agreement to divest its Lab Products business to EuroBio Scientific for cash consideration of $170 million. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies. CareDx also announced today preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
CareDx's Lab Products business consists of IVD (in vitro diagnostic) PCR kits for rapid deceased donor HLA (human leukocyte antigen) typing, IVD NGS-based (next-generation sequencing) kits for transplant recipient HLA typing globally, and IVD NGS-based monitoring assays for solid organ and stem cell transplant recipients outside of North America. As a global IVD kit business with distinct manufacturing, regulatory, and commercial requirements, Lab Products operates under a different model than CareDx's core U.S.-based Precision Medicine Testing Services and its Patient and Digital Solutions. The divestiture is intended to simplify CareDx's operating model and support disciplined capital redeployment toward opportunities aligned with its Precision Medicine Testing Services model.
"This divestiture allows us to strategically focus on our core Testing Services and Patient and Digital Solutions, where our solutions-selling strategy is working. In the first quarter, these segments delivered 48% and 33% year-over-year revenue growth, respectively," said John Hanna, President and CEO of CareDx. "Having partnered with EuroBio Scientific since 2014, we believe their global scale and broad IVD capabilities positions them well to execute the Lab Products business and continue providing the highest quality service to our IVD customers and patients worldwide."
Highlighted Terms of the Agreement
The company expects to apply a disciplined approach to capital allocation consistent with its track record. Proceeds from the transaction are expected to be prioritized toward investments that support CareDx's long-term growth strategy, including potential inorganic investments that fit its Precision Diagnostics Solutions model, and may also include the return of capital to shareholders.
The transaction, including the sale of CareDx's Swedish entity, requires Swedish regulatory review. The parties anticipate the transaction to close by the end of CareDx's third quarter, 2026.
Separately, CareDx is providing the following preliminary results for the first quarter of 2026 in advance of its scheduled quarterly reporting process.
Preliminary First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
The preliminary financial information presented in this press release is based on CareDx's current expectations and may be adjusted as a result of, among other things, the completion of customary procedures. The company anticipates providing further guidance during its first quarter 2026 earnings call on April 28, 2026.
