Bionano Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results and Provides a Business Update

Conference call today, August 10, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET

SAN DIEGO, August 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Our second quarter results reflect a strong vote of confidence from our routine use customer community and the accelerating global adoption of optical genome mapping (OGM),” commented Al Luderer, Ph.D., chairman and interim chief executive officer of Bionano. “The evidence base supporting OGM continued to expand across a broad range of research areas, reflected by the year-over-year increase in OGM studies presented at major genetics conferences. All the while, growth in our consumable sales has been primarily driven by increased clinical adoption; this adoption, along with increased utilization at existing and new clinical sites, will continue to be the foundation of our growth. We were also pleased to welcome back Dr. Alex Hastie, one of the original architects of our technology, as Chief Scientific Officer. Equally important, we completed the full retirement of our outstanding secured convertible debentures during the quarter, a significant milestone that simplifies our financial profile and provides greater flexibility as we continue to grow adoption of OGM.”

Q2 2026 Financial Results

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of 2025:

• Operating expenses increased by 2% to $11.5 million while adjusted operating expense1 decreased by 2%to $8.7 million.

Recent Business Highlights:

• New publication from Johns Hopkins and MD Anderson Cancer Center in the American Journal of Hematology demonstrating that OGM can significantly outperform traditional analytical methods for detection of structural variations and chromosomal abnormalities in multiple myeloma.

• Announced the largest OGM study of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to date, published in Modern Pathology, showing OGM detected genomic abnormalities in 97.8% of cases compared to 55% by conventional karyotyping.

• Announced the full retirement of all outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Debentures, eliminating outstanding secured debt obligations and releasing all liens on the Company’s assets.

• Announced multiple 2026 publications describing the unique utility of OGM in reproductive health and prenatal genetic disorders, with 13 studies analyzing 730 subjects published to date.

• Announced a 67% year-over-year increase in studies featuring OGM at the 2026 European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) conference, with authorship spanning 17 countries, up from 12 in 2025.
