REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 — Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER) (“Seer” or the “Company”), the pioneer and trusted partner for deep, unbiased proteomic insights, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Recent Highlights
- Achieved revenue of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2026
- Our collaborators from Korea University presented preliminary data at the 74th American Society for Mass Spectrometry Conference (ASMS), demonstrating potential of AI-driven plasma proteomics for multi-cancer screening
- Proteograph leveraged in an independent study published in Nature Genetics, “Nanoparticle-enriched mass spectrometry proteomics in British South Asians identifies links between genetic variants, plasma protein levels and disease risk”
- Initiated enforcement of our intellectual property rights against Nanomics Biotechnology Co., Ltd., with the U.S. International Trade Commission opening an investigation into Nanomics' importation of products believed to infringe Seer’s patents
- Strong patent position exemplified by the European Patent Office concluding that Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s patent, exclusively licensed by Seer, will be maintained on the basis of claims covering particle-based enrichment for proteomics
- Repurchased approximately 200,000 Class A common shares under our share repurchase program authorization as of June 30, 2026
- Ended the quarter with approximately $209.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments
"I’m proud that our technology is enabling the scientific community to do impactful work previously not possible. An important highlight this quarter was the presentation at the ASMS from our customers on how AI-driven proteomics can impact early detection of cancer,” said Omid Farokhzad, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we strengthened our commercial team, positioning Seer to better convert scientific leadership into revenue, and we took action to protect our core intellectual property on two continents."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue was $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, a 23% decrease, compared to $4.1 million for the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to lower product and service revenue as a result of continuing macroeconomic headwinds in academic and government funding and continued elongation of sales cycles in some commercial accounts related to extended customer evaluations. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.3 million, consisting of sales of Proteograph instruments and consumable kits. Service revenue was $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2026. Other revenue was $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2026.
Gross profit was $1.5 million and gross margin was 49% for the second quarter of 2026.
Operating expenses were $18.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, including $1.5 million in stock-based compensation, a 19% decrease, compared to $22.6 million for the corresponding prior year period, including $3.7 million in stock-based compensation. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by a decrease in employee compensation expenses, including stock-based compensation.
Net loss was $16.9 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $19.4 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Free cash flow, defined as net cash used in operating activities of approximately $25.0 million, less net purchases of property and equipment of approximately $265 thousand, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately negative $25.3 million.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $209.5 million as of June 30, 2026.
2026 Guidance
Seer continues to expect full year 2026 revenue to be in the range of $16 million to $18 million, representing growth of 3% at the midpoint over full year 2025.
