via question and answer session. I would like to turn the call over to Camilla Zuccaro, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Affairs. Please go ahead.
Thank you, operator. Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Castle Bioscience's first quarter 2025 results conference call. Joining me today are CASEL's founder, president, and chief executive officer, Derek Massold, chief financial officer, Frank Stokes, and senior vice president, medical, Dr. Matthew Goldberg, board certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist. Information recorded on this call speaks only as of today, May 5th, 2025. Therefore, if you are listening to the replay or reading this transcript of this call, any time-sensitive information may no longer be accurate. A recording of today's call will be available on the Investor Relations page of the company's website for approximately three weeks following the conclusion of the call. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that some of the statements made today will contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our financial outlook, TAM, intended use populations, and similar items referenced in our earnings release issues today, and statements containing projections regarding future events or our future financial or operational results and performance. including our anticipated 2025 total revenue, our expectations regarding reimbursement for our products, opportunities for growth, impacts of seasonality and other trends, the size and structure of our commercial team, the timing of targeting milestones, and the impact of our investment and growth initiatives, including our ability to achieve long-term growth and drive stockholder value. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the results contemplated in these statements will be realized. A number of factors and risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements. These factors and other risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, under the heading Risk Factors, and in the company's other documents and reports filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of today and we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements as circumstances change. In addition, some of the information discussed today includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted revenue, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, and adjusted EBITDA that have not been calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or GAAP. These non-GAAP items should be used in addition to and not as a substitute for any GAAP results. We believe these metrics provide useful supplemental information in assessing our revenue and operating performance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables at the end of our earnings release issued earlier today, which has been posted on the investor relations page of the company's website. I will now turn the call over to Derek.
Thank you, Camilla, and good afternoon, everyone. We are off to an exceptional start of the year, building on our track record of consistent execution and strong business fundamentals. Revenue grew by 21% to $88 million, and total test report volume for our core revenue drivers grew by 33% compared to the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, we believe our strong balance sheet with $275 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities gives us the flexibility to continue executing on our growth initiatives as we work to maintain financial discipline. This includes strategic opportunities, as evidenced by our announcement earlier today that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire ProVise, which we believe can further benefit patients and providers alike while strengthening our position in the gastrointestinal space. Today, I will walk you through business highlights from the quarter, discuss our expected acquisition of ProVise, and then Frank will provide additional financial highlights before we turn to your questions. Before diving into our business highlights, I'd like to introduce Dr. Matthew Goldberg. Matt joined Castle in August 2020 and currently serves as our Senior Vice President, Medical. He completed his Dermatology residency at the University of California, San Francisco, followed by Dermatopathology Fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern. Board certified in both dermatology and dermatopathology, Dr. Goldberg is the ideal person to discuss our decision DX melanoma test as we enter May, Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
