By

Pacific Edge (ASX:PEB, NZE:PEB) said its Asia-Pacific (APAC) operations are progressing toward profitability on a direct-cost basis, supported by higher commercial test volumes and gaining adoption of the Cxbladder Triage Plus test, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian and New Zealand bourses.

The company said its APAC commercial test volume rose nearly 13% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 to 1,158 tests from 1,026 tests in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026.

Meanwhile, APAC business revenue of NZ$2 million represented 19% of overall operating revenue in the second half of fiscal year 2026, up from 8% in fiscal 2025, the company said.

In the US, commercial test volume fell 2.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 to 3,295 from 3,375 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 amid continuing attrition in the sales team, Pacific Edge said.
