+Added: The remainder of the increase was primarily associated with higher marketing expenses, professional fees, board of director compensation, insurance expense and other general increases.
+Added: Stock-based compensation expense included in SG&A expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2019, reflecting both higher post-IPO stock option valuations as well as additional awards outstanding due to growth.
+Added: Other Operating Loss
+Added: Other operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 of $1.9 million consists entirely of the reversal of previously recognized income for the automatic payment received from HHS for relief funds pursuant to the CARES Act.
+Added: In the second quarter of 2020, based on guidance issued by HHS at the time that stated any reasonable method could be used to calculate lost revenues attributable to COVID-19, we concluded we would qualify to retain the relief funds and recognized the funds received as other operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
+Added: On September 19, 2020, HHS issued a notice of reporting requirements that changed the methodology for determining lost revenues to be based on a patient care operating income metric, as defined by HHS.
+Added: Due to this change in methodology and uncertainty in its application, we determined we were no longer reasonably assured of keeping the funds.
+Added: Therefore, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, we reversed the previously recognized income.
+Added: As of September 30, 2020, the provider relief funds are reflected on the balance sheet as other accrued liabilities.
+Added: On October 22, 2020, HHS again revised the methodology for calculating lost revenues, which is now calculated as a negative change, if any, in calendar year 2020 revenues compared to calendar year 2019 revenues.
Interest Expense
−Removed: Interest expense decreased by $0.9 million, or 54.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.
−Removed: The decrease is primarily attributable to interest expense on the Q1 2019 Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
+Added: Interest expense decreased by $0.4 million, or 35.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.
+Added: The decrease is primarily attributable to interest expense on the Q1 2019 Notes during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
The outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Q1 2019 Notes converted into shares of common stock in connection with the IPO in July 2019.
+Added: Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
+Added: We recorded a non-cash extinguishment gain related to the Q1 2019 Notes totaling $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was associated with the conversion of the Q1 2019 Notes into shares of common stock in connection with the IPO that was considered an extinguishment for accounting purposes.
Other Expense, Net
−Removed: Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of the change in fair value of our liability for convertible preferred stock warrants and the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability associated with the Q1 2019 Notes.
−Removed: In connection with the IPO, the preferred stock warrants became exercisable for common stock and are no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the Q1 2019 Notes converted into shares of common stock.
+Added: Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of losses associated with changes in fair value of the July 2019 Note, the liability for convertible preferred stock warrants and the embedded derivative associated with the Q1 2019 Notes of $2.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
+Added: These liabilities were adjusted to their current fair values each period, but effective with the IPO, the July 2019 Note and the Q1 2019 Notes automatically converted into shares of common stock and we reclassified our liability for convertible preferred stock warrants to stockholders’ equity.
+Added: Accordingly, no further changes in fair value for these items are reflected in periods after the IPO date.

−Removed: Net loss $ (806) $ (2,627) $ 1,821 69.3 %
−Removed: Net revenues increased by $10.7 million, or 54.9%, to $30.1 million due to a combination of higher per-unit revenues and increased test volume, partially offset by reduced revenue adjustments related to prior periods.
+Added: Net (loss) income $ (5,395) $ 3,222 $ (8,617) (267.4) %
+Added: Net revenues increased by $11.1 million, or 32.5%, to $45.4 million primarily due to higher per-unit revenues and increased test volume, partially offset by reduced revenue adjustments related to prior periods.
The overall revenue increase is primarily attributable to higher DecisionDx-Melanoma test revenues, partially offset by lower DecisionDx-UM test revenues.
−Removed: For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a 7.7% increase in total DecisionDx-Melanoma and DecisionDx-UM test reports delivered, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Our per-unit revenues benefited from the attainment of “new ADLT” status for our DecisionDx-Melanoma test, effective July 1, 2019, which resulted in a higher Medicare reimbursement rate for the test, as described above.
−Removed: For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net positive revenue adjustments of $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to tests delivered in previous periods, associated with changes in estimated variable consideration.

+Added: While we saw a year-over-year increase in test reports delivered of 37.4% during the first quarter of 2020, we experienced a year-over-year decrease in test reports delivered of 18.5% during the second quarter of 2020 and a year-over-year increase in test reports delivered of 5.4% during the third quarter of 2020.
+Added: We believe the adverse impacts to our quarterly test report volume growth are linked to delays and/or cancellations in patient visits, resulting in reduced diagnostic biopsies and thus reduced diagnoses of cutaneous melanoma in response to COVID-19, as noted above .
+Added: For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded net positive revenue adjustments of $0.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to tests delivered in previous periods, associated with changes in estimated variable consideration.
The positive revenue adjustments include the recognition of revenue for certain tests delivered in prior periods for which no revenue was recognizable originally, but was recognized upon cash collection of payments for the tests in the respective periods.
Cost of Sales
−Removed: Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $0.9 million, or 26.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to higher personnel costs associated with additional headcount in our laboratory testing operations and increases in expenses for supplies and services, which were attributable to the overall higher activity levels.
−Removed: Our gross margin percentage was 84.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 81.5% for the same period in 2019, with the improvement primarily a result of the increased operating leverage on the higher revenues.
+Added: Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $1.7 million, or 32.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to higher personnel costs associated with additional headcount in our laboratory testing operations and increases in expenses for supplies and services, which were attributable to the overall higher activity levels.
+Added: Our gross margin percentage was 84.5% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.
Due to the nature of our business, a significant portion of our cost of sales expenses represent fixed costs associated with our testing operations.
