FRIENDSWOOD, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Castle Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSTL), a company improving health through innovative tests that guide patient care, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
“Castle delivered an outstanding fourth quarter that rounded out an exceptional 2024, including 51% revenue growth and 36% test report volume growth compared to 2023,” said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer of Castle Biosciences. “I am incredibly proud of our team’s hard work in achieving these results, including achieving our previously provided 2025 revenue guidance range one year ahead of expectations.
“We are extremely pleased with the progress we made across our initiatives in 2024 in the areas of our core growth drivers, including a 17% increase in our dermatologic test reports (DecisionDx®-Melanoma and DecisionDx®-SCC combined) and a 130% increase in our TissueCypher® Barrett’s Esophagus test reports, over 2023. We believe this was driven largely by the clinical value of our tests, strong execution on our commercial strategy and expansion of our clinical evidence base.
“Building on our momentum and successes, we expect to continue to focus on delivering operational excellence. Further, sound capital allocation remains a priority, including pursuing strategic opportunities, aimed at driving stockholder value in 2025 and beyond.”

Fourth Quarter and Recent Accomplishments and Highlights
Dermatology
- DecisionDx-Melanoma: Findings from a prospective, multicenter study demonstrating the significant impact of the DecisionDx-Melanoma test on sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) decision-making for patients with melanoma were recently published in the World Journal of Surgical Oncology; further, no patient with a DecisionDx-Melanoma-predicted risk of SLN positivity of less than 5% who decided to have an SLNB procedure had a positive node.
- DecisionDx-Melanoma: The Company announced the publication of a new independent meta-analysis in Cancers assessing the efficacy of its DecisionDx-Melanoma test in predicting melanoma patient outcomes. The article, titled “The Prognostic Value of the 31-Gene Expression Profile Test in Cutaneous Melanoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” concluded that DecisionDx-Melanoma consistently provides improved risk stratification over staging alone to inform personalized management strategies for patients with cutaneous melanoma (CM). This recently published meta-analysis encompassed 13 peer-reviewed publications involving thousands of patients and affirmed the powerful risk stratification provided by DecisionDx-Melanoma and its potential to significantly improve care for patients with CM. See the Company’s news release from Dec. 12, 2024, for more information.
- DecisionDx-Melanoma: The Company announced the latest data from a prospective, multicenter study exploring the impact of integrating DecisionDx-Melanoma test results into SLNB decision-making for patients recently diagnosed with melanoma. The updated findings demonstrated the power of the test’s results to accurately identify patients with a low risk of metastasis who can safely forgo SLNB, thereby reducing unnecessary SLNB procedures and the associated costs and risks of complications that accompany them. The data was presented in a poster and oral presentation at The European Congress on Dermato-Oncology (Dermato-Onco2024) recently held in Vienna, Austria. See the Company’s news release from Nov. 6, 2024, for more information.
- DecisionDx-SCC: The Company announced that its poster on DecisionDx-SCC was selected as a “Late Breakers” top five finalist for the Akamai Award, recognizing the best posters at Maui Derm Hawaii 2025. Specifically, the poster shared new data from a study involving Castle’s largest cohort of patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to date (n=1,408). This study demonstrated improved risk stratification of patients with SCC tumors located on the head or neck when the test’s results are combined with Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) staging. See the Company’s news release from Jan. 17, 2025, for more information.
Gastroenterology
- The Company announced that it received assay approval from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) for its TissueCypher Barrett’s Esophagus (BE) test. With this approval, all of the tests in Castle’s dermatology, gastroenterology and ophthalmology portfolios, as well as its clinical laboratories in Phoenix and Pittsburgh, are now approved by the state of New York. See the Company’s news release from Jan. 6, 2025, for more information.
Corporate
- The Company announced that it was named a Houston Top Workplace for 2024 by the Houston Chronicle. This was the fourth consecutive year the Company was ranked among the Houston metro area’s top workplaces. Castle also earned three Culture Excellence awards in the areas of Employee Appreciation, Employee Well-Being and Professional Development. See the Company’s news release from Nov. 19, 2024, for more information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (UNAUDITED)
In this release, we use the metrics of Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, 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 loss: interest income, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of trading securities.
We use Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA 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. 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 or net loss 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.
