KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April  15, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. (Nasdaq: BGLC) (“BioNexus” or the “Company”), a diversified biotechnology and specialty materials group headquartered in Malaysia and incorporated in Wyoming, today announced the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s 2024 report showcases a year of strategic realignment, technological advancement, and enhanced corporate governance - positioning BGLC for sustainable long-term growth.

Financial Resilience and Market Stability

BGLC ended 2024 with a strong cash position of over $4million and total liquidity exceeding $6 million, reinforcing the Company’s commitment to prudent capital management. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, BioNexus reduced its year-over-year net loss by over 39%, reflecting improved operational efficiency and cost discipline across its healthcare diagnostics and specialty chemicals divisions.

Breakthrough Innovation in Digital Health and Blockchain

The Company marked a significant milestone by approving a blockchain-native treasury strategy, becoming the first Nasdaq-listed issuer to prioritize Ethereum (ETH) as a core strategic reserve asset. This forward-looking initiative is intended to enhance capital efficiency while aligning with emerging digital infrastructure standards - particularly within the U.S. and Wyoming's evolving Web3 regulatory frameworks.

Additionally, the Company continued to expand its genomic diagnostics offerings under its MRNA Scientific division and entered into strategic partnerships to scale its molecular screening platform and AI-based health diagnostics initiatives.

Nasdaq Compliance

To maintain its Nasdaq listing, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on April 7, 2025. The Company expects to regain full compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price rule by or before the May 1, 2025 deadline.

CEO Commentary

"2024 was a foundational year for BioNexus," said Sam Tan, CEO and President of BGLC. "We emerged from operational restructuring with renewed strategic focus, maintaining a clean balance sheet, and the conviction to lead in both healthcare technology and decentralized finance. We look forward to executing on our growth roadmap and building long-term shareholder value."
