Exhibit 99.1 Standard BioTools Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results BOSTON, Mass., August 5, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Standard BioTools Inc.

How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The key new decision is withdrawing the full-year 2026 revenue outlook due to the pending merger. The quarter also shows revenue decline year-over-year, but a large improvement in adjusted EBITDA and higher gross margins, alongside a sizable cash balance.
Market read
Traders can update merger-close risk, near-term expectations for revenue visibility, and the quality of cost improvements using the fresh quarterly metrics and guidance withdrawal.
What to watch
Transaction costs and restructuring charges are embedded in the quarter’s operating loss; traders may want to separate ongoing run-rate from one-time merger and restructuring impacts when modeling post-close earnings power.
Background
This is an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) with Exhibit 99.1 reporting Standard BioTools’ Q2 2026 financial results and merger progress toward a Treeline Biosciences stockholder vote and anticipated close before year-end 2026.
Ticker impact
Standard BioTools reported Q2 2026 results and said it is withdrawing its full-year 2026 revenue outlook due to the pending Treeline merger.
Likely choppy price action around merger milestones and investor focus on cash runway and transaction costs, rather than operating momentum alone.
The filing provides fresh quarterly datapoints (revenue, margins, adjusted EBITDA, cash) plus a concrete guidance change tied to the pending merger, which can reprice risk and expectations.
Market effects
Bio-instrumentation and life-science tools investors may reassess near-term demand sensitivity (academia spend uncertainty, capital-constrained end-markets) and merger-driven guidance risk.
Limited, primarily impacts US small-cap biotech/life-science tools sentiment.
Low; transaction and financials are company-specific.
Counterpoint
Improved adjusted EBITDA and higher gross margins could indicate restructuring benefits are working, so the guidance withdrawal may be more about merger accounting uncertainty than deteriorating fundamentals.
