IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL, BELGIUM - 07:00 CEST, August 31, 2017 - MDxHealth SA (Euronext: MDXH.BR) today announced financial results for the first half of 2017 and provided an update on recent business progress.

First Half 2017 Financial Results

Compared to the first half of 2016:

• Total revenue of $24.3 million, up 87% from $12.9 million in 2016 driven by $12.1 million net revenue from a one time buy-out of the Company's patents directed towards colorectal cancer to Exact Sciences;
• Product revenue was $12 million, up 10% from $10.9 million;
• Operating profit of $0.6 million compared to an operating loss of $7.5 million;
• EBITDA of $1.4 million improved by $8.1 million;
• Cash collections of $10.8 million, up 31% from $8.2 million;
• Cash and cash equivalents of $30.5 million as of June 30, 2017;
• Nearly 15,000 patients tested worldwide across all MDxHealth products, with SelectMDx representing approximately 35% of the total.

"With 21 new payor contracts, ancillary services contracts covering eight Veterans Affairs hospitals and a health care services agreement with Kaiser Southern California Permanente Medical Group year to date, we continue to establish broader coverage for our prostate cancer tests. Driving payor contracts will drive test orders, because urologists are more willing to order a test that is covered by the patients' insurance," reportedDr. Jan Groen, CEO, MDxHealth. "In Europe, we are gaining momentum with our SelectMDx product with three new distribution agremeents for SelectMDx in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom and a volume increase of nearly 1,200 tests, up 319% over the first half of 2016."

"Our test volumes grew 44% in the first half of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, utilizing the same number of active reps in the field," stated Christopher Thibodeau, COO of MDxHealth US. "With the appointment of Paul Marr as EVP of Sales North America and the near doubling of our sales force to 50 reps in the US, we are well-positioned to build adoption nationwide, including within the VA and Kaiser Southern California Permanente Medical Group hospital systems."

Revenue and income

Total revenue for the first six months ended June 30, 2017, increased by 87% to $24.3 million, compared to $12.9 million a year earlier. Revenue included the sale of the Company's patents directed towards colorectal cancer to Exact Sciences. Excluding revenue from Exact Sciences for both periods, total revenue increased by approximately 10% to $12 million during the first half of 2017. ConfirmMDx accounted for 93% of such revenue in the first half of 2017, compared to 98% in the first half of 2016. Test volumes for SelectMDx grew tenfold year-on-year and account for 35% of total volumes, while the revenue contribution in this early stage of payor adoption in the US amounts to 5%. Revenue recognized on the sales of ConfirmMDx and SelectMDx represented nearly 50% of total gross billings, a level comparable to 2016. A marginal increase in the revenue recognition rate for ConfirmMDx was offset by the lower rate applicable to the fast-growing test volumes of SelectMDx.

The gross profit margin on products and services remained level with last year at nearly 60% with improvements for ConfirmMDx being offset by the lower margins on SelectMDx given the initial lower levels of revenue recognition.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $18.7 million, up $2.7 million compared to the first half of 2016. The increase partly resulted from the accelerated expansion of the sales force in the US to address the mounting market opportunity for its robust portfolio of molecular diagnostic tests for urology. Also, reflected in the increase, is the impact for the full 6 months of investments made during 2016 such as the build-out of the European operations including commercial and laboratory staff.

Operating profit and EBITDA improved by $8.1 million to $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, largely attributable to the royalty buy out by Exact Sciences.

Cash position

Cash and cash equivalents stood at $30.5 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $30.8 million at December 31, 2016. The gross proceeds from the sale of patents to Exact Sciences of $15 million were offset by an operational cash burn of $13.4 million, the non-recurring payment of royalties and milestones of $0.7 million and investments in tangible and intangible assets of $2.7 million. Cash collections from ConfirmMDx and SelectMDx amounted to $10.8 million, 31% more than a year earlier. The unique ConfirmMDx CPT code, effective January 2018, is expected to further streamline the Company's reimbursement efforts and significantly reduce collection periods.

2017 Financial Outlook

MDxHealth maintains its product and service revenue guidance of growth between 55% to 75%, excluding royalties and milestone payments. The recent expansion of the sales force from 27 to 50 reps should drive patient test volume in the second half. The Company expects that the recently awarded GSA agreement and contract with Kaiser Southern California Permanente Medical Group should start impacting test volume growth in the latter half of 2017. Increasing payor coverage and positive medical policy decisions should also drive revenue growth for both SelectMDx and ConfirmMDx, improve collections and lower our average Days Sales Outstanding.

In Europe, the Company completed four health economic studies for SelectMDx in Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands. These studies showed significant cost-savings for healthcare providers and similarly to the US, should contribute to driving volume for the SelectMDx test in Europe. We also expect to sign more distribution agreements for both SelectMDx service testing and the SelectMDx CE-marked IVD kit in the second half of 2017. The publication of clinical studies evaluating the synergy of MRI and SelectMDx are key for the inclusion of the SelectMDx test in the NCCN and EAU guidelines.

Statutory Auditor's Limited Review Report

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated statement of financial position of MDxHealth SA as of 30 June 2017 and the related interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the six-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes. The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.
