FRIENDSWOOD, Texas, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025.'Following a strong first quarter, our team closed out a very successful second quarter that we believe continued to reflect the clinical value our tests provide to clinicians and their patients,' said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer of Castle Biosciences. 'We saw very solid total year-over-year test volume growth in our core revenue drivers, with both DecisionDx-Melanoma and TissueCypher exceeding our volume expectations for the quarter, driving our top-line performance.
'In alignment with our capital allocation priorities and M&A strategy, we closed the Previse tuck-in acquisition and announced an exciting collaboration and license agreement with SciBase, both of which we believe will support our mid- to long-term value creation goals. At the same time, we remain deeply focused on execution across our current test portfolio, which we believe positions us well for continued near-term success. Our ability to invest in the future while advancing our core franchises reflects the strength of our growth initiatives and commitment to delivering sustainable value to our stakeholders.'Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025, Financial and Operational Highlights

Second Quarter and Recent Accomplishments and HighlightsDecisionDx-Melanoma: DecisionDx-Melanoma test has been granted Breakthrough Device designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA grants Breakthrough Device designation to select qualifying devices that may offer improved treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases when compared to currently available alternatives. The Breakthrough Devices Program is intended to provide patients and healthcare providers with timely access to medical devices by speeding up development, assessment and review. See the Company's news release from July 23, 2025, for more information.
DecisionDx-Melanoma: Prior studies have shown that clinicians use DecisionDx-Melanoma to inform both avoiding sentinel lymph node biopsy procedures in low-risk patients and initiation of surveillance imaging and referrals to medical oncology in high-risk patients, which enables early detection of recurrences and initiation of therapy. Early detection has been shown to improve outcomes to a greater extent when therapy is initiated with smaller metastatic burden, which can improve net health outcomes. The Company presented novel research as part of Castle's ongoing collaboration with the NCI's SEER Program Registries at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The study presented an updated matching of patients who received DecisionDx-Melanoma as part of their clinical care to those who did not. In this large, real-world cohort of 13,560 patients with CM – the largest real-world study of gene expression profile testing to date – the DecisionDx-Melanoma was associated with a 32% reduction in mortality risk compared to untested patients, providing further evidence of the test's association with improved patient survival. Additionally, test performance on independent risk stratification was re-confirmed. See the Company's news release from May 29, 2025, for more information.
DecisionDx-SCC: The Company submitted a DecisionDx-SCC reconsideration request for the Novitas LCD and received notification confirming acceptance of the reconsideration submission.
DecisionDx-SCC: Two new studies were published in SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine supporting the clinical utility of DecisionDx-SCC in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The first study represents a new validation milestone, establishing DecisionDx-SCC as a significant predictor of local recurrence (LR) in patients classified as high-risk by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, thereby adding a third utility to the test's existing capabilities. The test has now been validated to predict individual risk of metastasis, benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) and risk of LR, providing comprehensive results to support tailored post-surgical management and treatment pathway recommendations for patients with SCC. The second study shares results from a clinician survey, affirming the impact of the test's results in guiding these recommendations, specifically the use of ART and surveillance imaging, by providing actionable decision points based on individual patient risk.The Company closed its acquisition of Capsulomics, Inc., d/b/a Previse. This acquisition has the potential to increase Castle's GI offerings. There is the potential to create a multiomics approach for improved patient care in Barrett's esophagus, as well as a nonendoscopic sample collection device for pipeline opportunities to potentially expand screening and diagnostic support for patients with Barrett's esophagus and other GI diseases. See the Company's news release from May 5, 2025, for more information.The Company announced new data from the first independent validation of the recently published Collaborative Ocular Oncology Group Study No. 2 (COOG2.) by Harbour et al. The data, from a real-world cohort of 1,297 patients with uveal melanoma (UM), was presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City. The findings provided further support for adding Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma (PRAME) gene expression information to the DecisionDx-UM test result to further refine metastatic risk prediction for patients with UM, which is a rare but aggressive eye cancer. See the Company's news release from May 9, 2025, for more information.The Company announced that it entered into a collaboration and license agreement with SciBase Holding AB ('SciBase') utilizing SciBase's Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy technology, which includes both desktop and point-of-care instruments. The initial goal of the collaboration is to advance the development of a diagnostic test that predicts flares in patients diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD), a U.S., market with an estimated up to 24 million patients.1,2 See the Company's news release from June 16, 2025, for more information.The Company announced that its founder, president and chief executive officer Derek Maetzold was awarded a distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award in the Management: Business Products Industries category in the 23rd Annual American Business Awards. The American Business Awards recognizes outstanding business performances in the United States, with more than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. See the Company's news release from June 4, 2025, for more information.
The Company announced that it earned multiple awards through the 2025 Top Workplaces program: a third consecutive national Healthcare Industry Top Workplaces award, with Castle ranking third among other recognized companies in its size bracket; a fourth consecutive regional Arizona Top Workplaces award from AZ Central; and consecutive national Top Workplaces Culture Excellence awards for Innovation, Work-Life Flexibility, Compensation & Benefits, Leadership and Purpose & Values. Top Workplaces award designations are garnered solely through anonymous employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage. The confidential survey measures the workplace experience and various culture themes that are indicative of successful organizations. See the Company's news release from July 17, 2025, for more information.
The Company announced that Maetzold was also named a 2025 Most Admired CEO by the Houston Business Journal. This prestigious honor celebrates leaders who have demonstrated outstanding financial stewardship, fostered inclusive and thriving workplace cultures, and made meaningful contributions to the greater Houston community. See the Company's news release from July 25, 2025, for more information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (UNAUDITED)
In this release, we use the metrics of Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted, which are non-GAAP financial measures and are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted Gross Margin reflect adjustments to GAAP net revenues to exclude net positive and/or net negative revenue adjustments recorded in the current period associated with changes in estimated variable consideration related to test reports delivered in previous periods. Adjusted Gross Margin further excludes acquisition-related intangible asset amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from net income (loss): interest income, interest expense, income tax benefit, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and changes in fair value of trading securities. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted, excludes a one-time adjustment of an acceleration of amortization expense for our IDgenetix test from net income (loss).
We use Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted, internally because we believe these metrics provide useful supplemental information in assessing our revenue and operating performance reported in accordance with GAAP, respectively. We believe that Adjusted Revenues, when used in conjunction with our test report volume information, facilitates investors' analysis of our current-period revenue performance and average selling price performance by excluding the effects of revenue adjustments related to test reports delivered in prior periods, since these adjustments may not be indicative of the current or future performance of our business. We believe that providing Adjusted Revenues may also help facilitate comparisons to our historical periods. Adjusted Gross Margin is calculated using Adjusted Revenues and therefore excludes the impact of revenue adjustments related to test reports delivered in prior periods, which we believe is useful to investors as described above. We further exclude acquisition-related intangible asset amortization in the calculation of Adjusted Gross Margin. We believe that excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization may facilitate gross margin comparisons to historical periods and may be useful in assessing current-period performance without regard to the historical accounting valuations of intangible assets, which are applicable only to tests we acquired rather than internally developed. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted, is calculated by excluding a one-time adjustment of an acceleration of amortization expense for our IDgenetix test from net loss. We believe that providing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Share, Basic and Diluted, may also help facilitate comparisons to our historical periods. We believe Adjusted EBITDA may enhance an evaluation of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of prior decisions made about capital investment, financing, investing and certain expenses we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when the same or similarly titled terms are used to identify such measures, limiting their usefulness for comparative purposes.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or used as substitutes for net revenues, gross margin net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share reported in accordance with GAAP; should be considered in conjunction with our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; are unaudited; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of these non-GAAP financial measures, and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of these non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, we may determine to modify the nature of adjustments to arrive at these non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measure as used by us in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables at the end of this release.

Geospace Technologies Acquires National Lab Developed Heartbeat Detector Technology
Advanced Analytics Detection Product Adds to the Company's Security Portfolio HOUSTON, August 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Geospace Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: GEOS) today announced the acquisition of Heartbeat Detector®, a heartbeat detection security technology developed by the United States Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Effective July 31, 2025, Geospace acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares from GeoVox Security, Inc., the company who first licensed and commercialized the technology from ORNL. Heartbeat Detector® uses a proprietary algorithm developed by ORNL researchers to reveal individuals attempting to hide in vehicles at security checkpoints by detecting a beating heart. Used in more than a dozen countries to address human trafficking and prison security, the Heartbeat Detector® is a small, portable device that uses proprietary sensors to rapidly identify people hidden in vehicles, providing a modern, user-friendly interface in as little as 10 seconds. The product, which relies on GS-ONE LF single-element geophones manufactured by Geospace, has been proven 99% effective by Oak Ridge, Sandia and Thunder Mountain national laboratories. Domestically, the Heartbeat Detector® is used extensively by departments of corrections and prison systems. Globally, the product has been leveraged for border crossings and prisons in Lithuania, Slovenia, Ukraine, Hong Kong, Czech Republic, Spain, France and Germany. The estimated market size for global prison facilities is 10,000 locations. There are more than 300 manned border checkpoint crossings in the United States and more than double that in Europe based on EU estimates. "Our sensing products have a history in border and perimeter security applications. With this acquisition, we are responding to market demand for an accurate, simple, portable technology to combat human trafficking, illegal border crossings, entrance and exit from critical facilities, and prison breaks. The Heartbeat Detector® will align well with our current perimeter security and surveillance offerings in the Intelligent Industrial business segment," said Rich Kelley, CEO of Geospace Technologies. "As part of our long-term growth plan, we have sought out immediately accretive acquisitions to our newly established business segments. We intend to offer the Heartbeat Detector® on a subscription basis to enable the customer base to streamline acquisition through lower upfront costs. This recurring revenue business model is becoming increasingly important in the strategic growth strategy of our company." "It is deeply gratifying to see success in this partnership to commercialize ORNL's heartbeat detection technology," said Jen Caldwell, director of technology transfer at Oak Ridge National Labs. "We strive to develop innovations of lasting market value that make significant contributions in a wide range of applications including safety and security. This heartbeat detection technology has more than achieved this objective, and we look forward to future successes with our partner Geospace, who shares our mission to tackle tough scientific challenges." "Having achieved this sale agreement with Geospace maintains the vision my father had when he licensed the heartbeat detection algorithm from ORNL more than 25 years ago," said Andrew White, GeoVox president and son of former Texas Governor Mark White. "This transition into the capable business model of Geospace will further my father's legacy as the company advances this safety and security technology to the next level."

Ali Velshi: The jobs numbers aren't ‘rigged.' Trump owns this economy.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Aug. 2 episode of 'Velshi.' On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released an alarming monthly employment report, exposing that the United States' job market is much more fragile than many had expected. Only 73,000 net new jobs — that's new jobs created, minus jobs lost — were added in July. But worse were the revisions to the two previous job reports. May's jobs report was revised from 144,000 jobs to only 19,000. June's 147,000 jobs were mostly a mirage, too; it turns out only 14,000 jobs were added that month. That's 258,000 fewer jobs than previously thought. The average for the last three months is 35,000, far fewer than the 150,000 or more needed for job growth to keep up with population growth in this country. Now, revisions to government statistics are normal in subsequent months. It's the nature of large numbers. They happen regularly, but they almost never show this dramatic a shift. It was a bad report, no doubt about it. It was particularly bad for a president who, in political terms, owns this job market and this economy, which has been roiled by the chaos of his tariffs and trade wars. But instead of addressing the numbers and the challenge they present, Donald Trump said they were fake and fired the head of the department that collects them. The president baselessly claimed the jobs numbers were 'rigged' and accused the fired commissioner of inflating numbers for the Biden administration and sabotaging them under his own administration. Trump baselessly claimed that jobs reports were overstated during the previous presidency to prop up Joe Biden and are now being underestimated to hurt Trump. The president has zeroed in on the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, labeling her a 'Biden appointee' and ignoring the fact that she was confirmed in the Senate by a bipartisan vote of 86-8, with six senators not voting. Among the 86 yeas was now-Vice President JD Vance. This is becoming a common refrain for Trump. He has also accused Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, of being a Biden appointee. But Trump is the one who elevated him to the position in 2017. Friday also marked the president's self-imposed, but often delayed, deadline for reaching trade deals with countries across the world. Back in April, Trump claimed he had already struck 200 deals, despite the fact that there aren't even 200 countries in the world. The number of deals before the Aug. 1 deadline was closer to eight, though you could arguably consider the European Union, which is a single trading bloc, as 27 countries. Deals were struck with the European Union, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, the United Kingdom and Vietnam, and talks are ongoing with Mexico and China. Nowhere close to 200. That was just a lie. An executive order signed by Trump late Thursday outlined tariff rates for 69 countries, including several changes from the rates announced on 'Liberation Day' in April. Smaller countries like Lesotho and Guyana were originally hit with massive tariffs, simply because they are poor countries that sell more to America than they buy and as a result have large trade deficits with America, but those rates have since been cut. The day before, Trump also jacked up tariffs on Brazil to 50% for what he views as the political persecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for attempting a coup in 2022. Trump has called that trial a 'witch hunt.' Forget a deal with one of the U.S.' oldest and biggest trading partners, Canada. The White House is upping the ante on our neighbor to the north, announcing a 35% tariff on Canadian goods, up from 25%. That's on goods not included in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. Plus, on Wednesday, the Commerce Department said gross domestic product, or GDP, which is the largest measure of economic activity we have, increased at a 3% annual rate in the second quarter. Some journalists jumped on that exciting top-line number, one that seems far more impressive than the first quarter's GDP increase of just 0.5%. But if some of those journalists had taken about 45 seconds to look under that shiny hood, they'd have found a far less impressive rebound than it initially seemed. Here's why: That upward swing in GDP growth came from a massive and fully expected decline in imports, after a massive and fully expected increase in imports in the first quarter in anticipation of tariffs. Lots of money left our economy to bring goods in before the first tariff deadlines in April, so when imports sharply dropped, the smaller resulting trade deficit boosted the GDP growth figure. But that's not so much evidence of economic prosperity as it is the result of a math equation and how GDP is calculated. This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword

A top designer was banned from Dribbble. Now he's building his own competitor.
Dribbble has permanently banned dozens of designers from its platform following a new effort to pivot to a marketplace and chase monetization. This includes one of the platform's most well-known designers, Gleb Kuznetsov, founder of the San Francisco-based design studio Milkinside. Dribbble deleted his account with its over 210 million followers because he shared his contact information with prospective clients through the platform in violation of its new rules. Remarked Kuznetsov in a post on X, 'I brought 100,000+ monthly users. 15 years of work. 12,000+ shots. All instantly deleted, because a client asked for my email. One warning. No appeal.' Fed up with the changes at the company, which helps product, UX, web, and other digital designers showcase their portfolios and find new clients, Kuznetsov says he's been talking to investors about launching a competitor. Shortly after his social media post, Dribbble users expressed their shock and anger over the decision, crediting Kuznetsov as being one of their biggest inspirations and lamenting that the platform would make such a misguided move. Dribbble, meanwhile, says Kuznetsov was actually warned multiple times that he was violating the new rules and the email was the final notice. Dribbble's pivot to a marketplace The issue has to do with a more recent policy change first announced on March 17, 2025. In an email shared in March with Dribbble's some 750,000 approved designers — meaning those who are authorized to communicate with others on the platform — the company said it was no longer allowing designers to share their contact information with prospective clients until after their client sent payment through its platform. The company positioned this change as one meant to protect designers from non-payment, as well as one that allows Dribbble to continue to sustain its business. The announcement was also posted to social media and the company blog. However, Kuznetsov claims that non-payment isn't a very common problem, and really, this update is about Dribbble attempting to take a larger cut of designers' business. Dribbble doesn't dispute that. Before the policy change, Dribbble made money in one of two ways. Starting in September 2024, Dribbble began pivoting to a marketplace that connected designers and clients. Designers could communicate freely on the platform and then either share a 3.5% revenue cut on clients they converted, or they could pay for a Pro subscription to skip the rev share. In March, the company tightened the rules further, saying that anyone finding clients on Dribbble would need to offer the platform a cut of their revenue. 'It went from it was optional to use our transactional features to it was required for non-advertisers to use our transactional features, if they were on Dribbble, to find clients,' explains Dribbble CEO Constantine Anastasakis, in an interview with TechCrunch. 'If a user is on Dribbble to find inspiration or to get feedback on their work, or to talk shop with their peers, none of this affects them,' he added. The exec, who joined the company after working at direct-to-consumer lender Lower, video marketplace Pond5 (exited to Shutterstock), and freelancer marketplace Fiverr, was hired last April to pivot Dribbble into a marketplace. While the company is profitable under parent company Tiny, it's still a small 20-person team and isn't reliant on venture backing to serve its 7.5 to 10 million monthly unique visitors. 'Dribbble was something that really accelerated our business dramatically back in the day,' Kuznetsov told TechCrunch. Before Dribbble, there was no platform where designers could share their work wth others, he says. It helped designers receive feedback that came specifically from their peers and allowed newer designers to learn from those at the top of the industry. Kuznetsov is now part of the latter group. At Milkinside, Kuznetsov has worked with companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, Scandinavian Airlines, United Airlines, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz, and other large companies in the Bay Area. As a result, he likely didn't feel that Dribbble would risk banning him for not abiding by the new terms. Anastasakis essentially confirmed this to be true. He told TechCrunch that Kuznetsov received 83 work inquiries since the new terms rolled out in March, and responded to 61. In each message, the site shows a warning that reminds users that contact details should not be shared before project payment. However, Kuznetsov shared his contact information in six messages, which would have displayed a stronger warning at that time. The company then followed up with a warning email on July 22 about his repeated terms-of-service violations, which informed him he was risking permanent suspension. Kuznetsov told us he didn't see this email initially, but Dribbble says it tracked that the email was opened three times before his suspension. 'I believe that Dribbble — it was their goal to hurt me so I can spread that [news] so they can give a harsh lesson to everyone who tries [to break the rules],' Kuznetsov says. Dribbble's CEO Anastasakis confirmed as much to TechCrunch. 'There's there's really no conceivable way in which he did not realize that what he was doing risked permanent suspension of his accounts,' Anastasakis told us. 'I think that ultimately it was that he believed that we wouldn't take action against a designer of his caliber,' he continued. 'As a side note, I actually think that he's done us a big favor as far as getting the word out about how seriously we take the terms.' For Kuznetsov, or any designer who was banned for similar reasons, the only option to come back to Dribbble is by joining as an advertiser, which requires a minimum campaign budget of $1,500 per month for at least three months. A new competitor to Dribbble emerges? Kuznetsov has decided to forge his own path, saying that he's hurt by Dribbble's change. 'It's not going to be a copycat of Dribbble,' he says of his pending startup. Instead, it will be a resource for designers that will also leverage AI. While there has been a lot of backlash about AI models training on creatives' work without compensation, Kuznetsov believes there's a use case for the technology in terms of inspiration, creation, and design. 'It's a big hole right now in the market…Everybody's doing AI startups, but nobody's really doing AI startups for designers,' Kuznetsov notes. 'AI is something that really can elevate our ability to create, and make it on a much higher level of quality. It's going to help us to not only earn more money and grow, but also create something we never even thought was possible to create without a specific skill set.' Kuznetsov says he expects to have an MVP (minimum viable product) ready in three or four months. However, he notes the goal is not to 'kill' Dribbble, even though investors offered him money to do so. 'It's not like that. I'm trying to do something good for the community because I'm a designer. So I know how painful it is to be a designer in this world,' says Kuznetsov. 'We need to be really smart about how we invest our time — how we give our best and give our life to other platforms. Diversification of that investment should be something that everyone should be thinking about,' he adds.
