Pacific Edge narrows costs as draft Medicare coverage revives growth prospects

Pacific Edge Limited ( ($NZ:PEB) ) just unveiled an update.

Pacific Edge reported a steep revenue decline in FY26 after losing U.S. Medicare coverage in April 2025, with operating revenue falling to $11.5 million and total Cxbladder test volumes down 16.3%, while its net loss widened to $35.8 million despite a nearly 10% reduction in expenses. The company strengthened its balance sheet with a NZ$25.4 million share placement and an up to NZ$6 million retail offer, reduced monthly cash burn and tightened its U.S. sales footprint to preserve capital.

Strategically, the year culminated in a draft Medicare Local Coverage Determination that, for the first time, recognises hematuria evaluation as a covered benefit and proposes coverage for Cxbladder Triage and the higher-priced Triage Plus, enabling claim-by-claim reimbursement and materially improving unit economics. Pacific Edge is now focused on shifting volume to higher-margin tests, leveraging new clinical evidence and EMR-integrated clinical pathways, expanding APAC adoption, and progressing its next-generation Surveillance Plus test, positioning the company for a return to growth and a clearer path to profitability in FY27 and beyond.
