SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CODX) ("Co-Dx," or "the Company"), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights:

• Expanded commercial outreach through participation in a European trade mission with the Utah Governor's Office and World Trade Center Utah, while showcasing the Co-Dx PCR platform and CE-IVD solutions at ESCMID Global 2026 to engage prospective customers, distributors, and strategic partners
• Presented the Co-Dx PCR tuberculosis (TB) platform at the Stop TB Partnership Summit in Washington, D.C., engaging with global health organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders focused on expanding access to TB diagnostics
• Initiated development of a Bundibugyo virus PCR assay and advanced the Company's Ebola strategy through CoSara, including development of a pan-Ebola assay
• Strengthened the balance sheet through a $3.0 million private placement priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, supporting continued execution of the Company's strategic initiatives
• Advanced Latin American commercialization efforts through a distribution agreement covering Mexico, supporting future commercialization of the Co-Dx PCR platform in the region

"Our second quarter marked a period of meaningful operational progress for Co-Diagnostics, as years of investment across our platform are illustrated by these tangible milestones," said Dwight Egan, Chief Executive Officer of Co-Diagnostics. "This progress was reflected across our regulatory, clinical and commercial priorities, including expanding our tuberculosis program in India and strengthening our international manufacturing and commercialization capabilities. More recently, we built on that momentum by submitting our FDA 510(k) application for the Co-Dx™ PCR Flu A/B & RSV upper respiratory multiplex test on the Co-Dx PCR Pro^® instrument. Together, these milestones reinforce that we are executing against our strategic priorities and advancing the platform toward commercialization."

Mr. Egan continued, "What differentiates Co-Diagnostics is that we have never viewed our opportunity as simply developing another diagnostic test. We have built an integrated molecular diagnostics platform that combines instrumentation, assays, cloud connectivity and artificial intelligence, along with manufacturing, and global commercial infrastructure into a scalable ecosystem. As we continue to advance regulatory milestones and expand deployment across international markets, we believe this strategy has the potential to create long-term value for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release contains adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, amortization, income tax (benefit) expense, net interest (income) expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and realized gain (loss) on investments. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The Company's management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Management does not consider the non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of the non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents the non-GAAP financial measure together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of the net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA, is included at the end of this release. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business.
