Piper Sandler 36th Annual Healthcare Conference summary
12 Jan, 2026Growth outlook and commercial strategy
Projected Galleri test growth of 40%-50% in 2024, with 2025 growth expected to be lower as focus shifts to capital efficiency and cost-neutral U.S. commercial operations.
Restructuring reduced commercial staff from 400 to 200, concentrating efforts in high-performing regions and leveraging physician champions and health system partnerships.
Average selling price remains around $800, with expectations for price reduction as the test becomes more broadly accessible and reimbursed.
Regulatory and reimbursement progress
Final FDA module submission, including Pathfinder 2 and NHS-Galleri data (175,000 participants), planned for first half of 2026, with anticipated one-year review period.
Legislation to enable CMS coverage for multi-cancer early detection tests has bipartisan support; ideal passage would occur before FDA approval.
Engagement with FDA focuses on demonstrating consistent test performance, safety, and ability to localize cancer origin.
Financial position and operational efficiency
Cash balance projected at ~$700 million by year-end, with runway into 2028; major study costs subsiding as NHS Galleri and Pathfinder 2 complete.
Launching a next-generation, lower-cost, high-throughput test version to improve gross margins and reduce variable costs.
Targeting 60% gross margins at scale in the U.S., with long-term operating margins of 5%-10% over five years.
