General
We are a leading genetic testing and precision medicine company dedicated to advancing health and well-being for all. We develop and offer tests that help assess the risk of developing disease or disease progression and guide treatment decisions across medical specialties where genetic insights can significantly improve patient care and lower health care costs. Our genetic tests provide insights that help people take control of their health and enable healthcare providers to better detect, treat, and prevent disease.
Personalized genetic data and digital and virtual consumer trends are converging to change traditional models of care. We believe significant growth opportunities exist to help patient populations with pressing health care needs through innovative genetic and precision medicine solutions and services. Our focus is on innovation and growth in three key areas where we have specialized products, capabilities, and expertise: Oncology, Women's Health, and Pharmacogenomics. The pillars of our long-term growth strategy are founded on investments in science and innovation, technology-enabled operations, an elevated customer experience, strong commercial execution, and scalable operations. We believe our path to continued growth is driven by articulating our clinical differentiation, raising awareness with patients who we believe would benefit from our testing products, and innovation that improves clinical outcomes, ease of use, and access. By investing in technology-enabled commercial tools, new laboratory facilities, advanced automation, and standardized processes and technology, we believe we will be able to reduce complexity and cost while enhancing our ability to scale and grow. In June 2024, we launched the Universal Plus Panel to our Foresight Carrier Screen or the Foresight Universal Plus Test, which is an expanded carrier screening test. We also plan to launch new products, such as FirstGene, Precise Liquid, and Precise minimal residual disease, or MRD, which we expect will help accelerate our growth. We intend to develop and enhance our products and services to support growth, improve patient and provider experience, and reach more patients of all backgrounds. We are committed to disciplined management of a key set of initiatives to fulfill our mission and drive long-term growth and profitability.

Business Updates
Our recent significant business updates and financial highlights include the following:
• Revenue growth of 11% year-over-year for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
• Third quarter 2024 testing volumes grew 6% year-over-year, driven by 10% growth year-over-year in Pharmacogenomics test volumes, 5% growth year-over-year in Hereditary Cancer test volumes, and 3% growth year-over-year in Prenatal test volumes.
• In October 2024, we announced five research collaborations to study the use of MRD testing in Breast Cancer.
• In October 2024, we announced a joint effort with Ultima Genomics to explore the UG 100 TM sequencing platform and its ppmSeq TM technology to advance clinical testing.
• In October 2024, we announced a third patent granted for MRD with an early priority date.
• In August 2024, Peach State Health Plan, a managed Medicaid plan in Georgia, added GeneSight to its medical policy. The Peach State Plan is part of the Centene network of managed Medicaid plans.
On November 1, 2024, UnitedHealthcare updated its medical policy for pharmacogenetic testing to no longer provide coverage for certain multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic tests, including our GeneSight test, under its commercial and individual exchange benefit plans, effective January 1, 2025. We recognized approximately $40.0 million in revenue for GeneSight volume from UnitedHealthcare under these commercial and individual exchange plans during the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024. We do not believe that the updated policy affects coverage of GeneSight by UnitedHealthcare under Medicare Advantage and managed Medicaid plans. While we are still assessing the full impact of UnitedHealthcare's change in its GeneSight coverage policy, including our ability to offset the loss in GeneSight coverage, we anticipate that this change will negatively impact revenue in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter. In addition, please refer to Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for potential impacts of UnitedHealthcare's change on goodwill in our Pharmacogenomics reporting unit.

Table of Contents
Test revenues increased $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to both an increase in testing volumes and an increase in the average revenue per test, due in part to changes in contracted price and operational improvements. Pharmacogenomics revenues increased $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a 22% increase in the average revenue per test and a 10% increase in testing volume. Average revenue per test increased primarily due to a change in estimate. We expect that Pharmacogenomics revenues in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter will be negatively impacted by UnitedHealthcare's recent change in GeneSight test coverage under its commercial and individual exchange benefits plans. Hereditary Cancer revenues increased $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a 5% increase in testing volume.

Effective tax rate (4.2) % (0.2) %
Our tax rate is the product of a U.S. federal effective rate of 21.0% and a blended state income tax rate of approximately 3.4%. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized during the period in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from period to period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there was $0.9 million income tax expense and our effective tax rate was (4.2)%. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there was $0.1 million income tax expense and our effective tax rate was (0.2)%. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the recognition of valuation allowances. Due to our cumulative loss and the exhaustion of future taxable income from the reversal of taxable temporary differences, our estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year includes a valuation allowance against the majority of the current year increase in deferred tax assets.

Test revenues increased $70.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in the average revenue per test across the majority of our products, due in part to changes in contracted price and operational improvements, as well as an increase in testing volumes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $17.3 million of revenue as a change of estimate related to previously delivered tests, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in which we recorded a $6.2 million decrease in revenue as a change of estimate related to previously delivered tests.
Hereditary Cancer revenues increased $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to an 8% increase in average revenue per test and a 5% increase in testing volume. Pharmacogenomics revenues increased $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a 13% increase in the average revenue per test, which was partially due to changes in the estimated revenue per test related to prior periods, and an 11% increase in testing volume. We expect that Pharmacogenomics revenues in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter will be negatively impacted by UnitedHealthcare's recent change in GeneSight test coverage under its commercial and individual exchange benefits plans. Prenatal revenues increased $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due to a 10% increase in average revenue per test and an 8% increase in testing volume. Tumor Profiling revenues decreased $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a decrease in testing volume for MyChoice CDx, which was largely driven by MyChoice CDx studies that occurred in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, our expected cash flows from operations, and, in certain circumstances as discussed below, amounts available for borrowing under our asset-based revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and issuing bank, and the other lender parties thereto, or the ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $99.9 million and availability under the ABL Facility was $48.8 million, subject to the minimum availability requirement under the ABL Facility. Our capital deployment strategy focuses on use of resources in the key areas of research and development, technology and acquisitions. We believe that investing organically through research and development and new product development or acquisitively to support our business strategy provides the best return on invested capital.
Our ABL Facility has a total maximum principal commitment of $115.0 million. The ABL Facility requires that we and our subsidiaries guaranteeing the indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, maintain minimum liquidity of $60.0 million and minimum availability of $25.0 million at all times before achieving a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 and, thereafter, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 until achieving availability under the ABL Facility of greater of (a) $10.6 million and (b) 12.5% of the lesser of the maximum commitment amount and the borrowing base for a period of 30 consecutive days. As of September 30, 2024, we had $40.0 million outstanding under the ABL Facility and availability under the ABL Facility was $48.8 million, subject to the minimum availability requirement under the ABL Facility.
We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our available capital resources, however, may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected, or may be insufficient for our business needs for many reasons, including as a result of our operational cash needs, capital expenditures, and litigation related costs not covered by, or above the limits set forth in, our insurance. In addition, we are subject to covenants under our ABL Facility which could limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or impact our ability to pursue other financing. If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, if our capital resources are consumed more rapidly than expected, or if we no longer have access to additional funds under our ABL Facility and we are unable to secure additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other operations; or delay development of our tests in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue our operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals could be adversely affected.
From time to time, we enter into purchase commitments or other agreements that may materially impact our liquidity position in future periods. In April 2024, we entered into an amendment of our lease in west Salt Lake City, Utah to include approximately 63,000 additional square feet. The lease has a term of 12 years, which is expected to commence in the second half of 2026. Total future rent payments for the additional space are approximately $18.2 million.
Because of the technical nature of our business and our focus on science, research, and development, we are highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified and experienced management, scientific, and technical personnel. Loss of the services of or failure to recruit additional key management, scientific, and technical personnel and other qualified personnel who are necessary to operate our business would adversely affect our business, and it may have a material adverse effect on our business as a whole. Additionally, disruptions to our supply chain could cause shortages of critical materials required to conduct our business, which may have a material adverse effect on our business as a whole. In addition, as discussed below, inflation has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, costs to generate sales and produce testing results, and costs of laboratory supplies.
Third-party payors, including state and federal health care programs such as Medicare, managed care organizations, and other private health insurers, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting or denying coverage for certain tests and reducing reimbursement rates for both new and existing tests. We have experienced and may continue to experience coverage limitations or denials for many of our products. For example, on November 1, 2024, UnitedHealthcare updated its medical policy for pharmacogenetic testing to no longer provide coverage for certain multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic tests, including our GeneSight test, under its commercial and individual exchange benefit plans, effective January 1, 2025. We recognized approximately $40.0 million in revenue for GeneSight volume from UnitedHealthcare under these commercial and individual exchange plans during the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024. While we are still assessing the full impact of UnitedHealthcare's change in its GeneSight coverage policy, including our ability to offset the loss in GeneSight coverage, we anticipate that this change would negatively impact our revenue, profitability and cash flow in fiscal year 2025 and thereafter.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We used less cash for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an improvement in core operations which drove a 13% increase in revenues and an 8% decrease in expenses as a percentage of revenue, excluding non-cash expenses for goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges and accrued legal settlements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received $16.3 million in tenant improvement allowance reimbursements that did not reoccur during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the $94.7 million decrease in cash flows from maturities and sales of marketable investment securities in the current period, partially offset by a $37.8 million decrease in capital expenditures in the current period in connection with the completion of the build-out of new facilities in the prior year.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The decrease in cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to proceeds of $40.0 million under the ABL Facility in the prior year period.
Effects of Inflation
While inflation continues to return to more moderate levels in 2024, inflation has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the labor costs we incur to attract and retain qualified personnel, costs to generate sales and produce testing results, and costs of laboratory supplies. Inflationary costs have impacted our profitability and may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased inflation has had, and may continue to have, an effect on interest rates. An increase in interest rates in the future may adversely affect our borrowing rate and our ability to obtain, or the terms under which we can obtain, additional funding.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those policies which are both important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. For a further discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. No significant changes to our accounting policies took place during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
