FREMONT, Calif.--August 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)—Alamar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALMR), a leader in precision proteomics dedicated to enabling the earliest detection of disease, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Recent Highlights
• Generated $29.4 million of total revenue for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 82% as compared to the corresponding period of 2025
• Launched the first commercial multiplexed blood-based immunoassay for eMTBR-tau, available in our NULISAseq™ Neuro 220 Panel and through our Technology Access Program, enabling scalable, non-invasive measurement of tau tangle burden
• Expanded strategic partnership with the Alzheimer's Disease Data Initiative and Gates Ventures to deliver a combined dataset of more than 140,000 samples
• Launched the NULISAseq™ Immune 340 Panel, our broadest multiplexed immune profiling solution for translational research and drug development
• Providing full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $116 million to $120 million, representing growth of 59% at the midpoint of the range as compared to 2025
"We delivered a strong second quarter with consumable revenue growing nearly 150% year-over-year," said Yuling Luo, PhD, founder, CEO, and chair of Alamar Biosciences. "With the recent launches of eMTBR-tau and the Immune 340 Panel strengthening our content menu and extending into new disease areas, we believe we are well-positioned to sustain momentum into the coming quarters."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue was $29.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, an 82% increase from $16.2 million for the corresponding prior-year period. Instrument revenue grew 35% to $7.8 million, from $5.8 million for the corresponding prior-year period, driven primarily by continued growth in new instrument placements. Consumable revenue grew 147% to $15.5 million, from $6.3 million for the corresponding prior-year period, driven primarily by strong demand for multiplex panels. Services and other revenue grew 49% to $6.2 million, from $4.1 million for the corresponding prior-year period.
Gross margin was 60% for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to 53% for the corresponding prior-year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by manufacturing efficiencies for consumables and a favorable shift in mix toward high-margin consumables.
Operating expenses were $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, an 89% increase from $16.5 million for the corresponding prior-year period. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily related to planned investments in headcount, infrastructure and R&D capabilities as well as incremental public company costs.
Operating loss was $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to an operating loss of $7.9 million for the corresponding prior-year period. This includes $3.3 million of stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2025.
Net loss was $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2026 and higher than the $7.0 million net loss in the corresponding prior-year period.
Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash were $256.3 million as of June 30, 2026.
2026 Guidance
Alamar Biosciences expects full year 2026 revenue to be in the range of $116 million to $120 million, representing growth of 59% at the midpoint of the range compared to full year 2025.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue was $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, a 99% increase from $13.1 million for the corresponding prior-year period. Instrument revenue grew 78% to $7.4 million, from $4.1 million for the corresponding prior-year period, driven primarily by an increase in instrument placements. Consumable revenue grew 178% to $14.0 million, from $5.0 million for the corresponding prior-year period, driven primarily by pull-through tied to the larger instrument installed base as well as by a slight increase in the average selling price of our consumables.

Gross margin was 56% for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to 49% for the corresponding prior-year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by manufacturing efficiencies realized through larger consumables production volumes, higher average selling prices across both instruments and consumables, and by a favorable shift in product mix toward higher-margin consumables.
Operating expenses were $26.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, a 79% increase from $14.9 million for the corresponding prior-year period. The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was primarily related to increased personnel costs, increased costs related to expansion of our product offerings, and increased professional costs for legal and accounting services.
Operating loss was $12.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to an operating loss of $8.6 million for the corresponding prior-year period. This includes $1.5 million of stock-based compensation for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2025.
Net loss was $21.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, including a loss of $8.6 million related to the remeasurement of convertible notes, and higher than the $7.7 million net loss in the corresponding prior-year period.
