Burning Rock Reaffirms 2021 Revenue Guidance of RMB500 Million

GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Burning Rock Biotech Limited (NASDAQ: BNR, the “Company” or “Burning Rock”) today announced that, based on the latest operating trends, the Company expects its 2021 revenue to be at or slightly above RMB500 million.

The Company is pleased with the recent progress achieved, despite elevated COVID impact that has been ongoing since the beginning of November, including the first diagnosed Omicron case in China and increased lock-downs in December. Despite the COVID challenges, the Company’s overall business volumes in November and December increased compared to that of September and October. In-hospital testing volumes have continued to grow, with November and December volumes slightly higher than that of September and October, demonstrating resilience of this important commercial channel. Central-lab testing volumes also saw sequential improvement, supported in part by recent commercial launch and good initial market uptake of two licensed-in products, DetermaRx (a risk stratification test for early-stage lung cancer patients, further details of which can be found at https://ir.brbiotech.com/news-releases/news-release-details/burning-rock-announces-exclusive-licensing-risk-stratification/) and myChoice (an FDA approved test for homologous recombination deficiency, or HRD, further details of which can be found at https://ir.brbiotech.com/news-releases/news-release-details/burning-rock-announces-licensing-myriad-mychoicer-tumor-testing/).

The Company expects to discuss its fourth quarter results in further details at the time of its Q4 results announcement in March 2022.
