NeoGenomics Reports Record Revenue of $16.9 Million, Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 Million and Net Income of $900K for the Third Quarter 2013

FT. MYERS, Fla., Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetic testing services today reported its results for the third quarter of 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights:

  • Revenue growth of 18.9%
  • Test volume growth of 19.1%
  • Gross Profit Margin of 48.4% versus 41.5% last year
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) growth of 157%
  • Net Income of $0.02 per share versus a loss of $0.02 last year

Revenue for the third quarter was $16.9 million, an 18.9% increase from third quarter 2012 revenue.Test volume increased by 19.1% year over year, while average revenue per test was largely unchanged.  Average cost of goods sold per test declined by 12% as a result of continued productivity improvements, increased leverage from higher volumes, and other cost containment initiatives. As a result, gross profit increased by 38.7% from the prior year. 

Total operating expenses increased by 6.6% from last year's third quarter, primarily as a result of additional sales representatives and increases in billing and information technology expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in stock compensation expenses related to the decline in the Company's stock price for the quarter. 

Net income for the quarter was $900,000, or $0.02 per share, versus a net loss of $(975,000), or $(0.02) per share, in last year's third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA(1) improved by 157% to $2.2 million for the quarter from $842,000 last year.

Douglas M. VanOort, the Company's Chairman and CEO commented, "We are pleased with our third quarter results.  Solid growth in test volume was driven by continued success with new products and growth in the number of customer accounts. The productivity of our sales team improved with gains in all geographic territories across the country. In addition, we have added five sales representatives and two product managers since the end of the second quarter to further accelerate growth."

Mr. VanOort continued, "We continued to improve productivity and increase our efficiency and effectiveness during the quarter.  As a result, we realized strong reductions in average cost-per-test, which allowed us to drive 85% of the incremental $2.7 million of revenue to gross profit.  We are in the process of redesigning and expanding our Fort Myers, Florida laboratory to incorporate lean workflow concepts and improved automation.  We expect this new lab to be complete in the first quarter of 2014 and believe it will yield further process improvements."

Mr. VanOort added, "As a result of our strategic focus on innovation and new product development, NeoGenomics is increasingly being recognized as a leader in cancer testing in this era of 'precision medicine'.  We have now introduced over 30 new Molecular tests and profiles to our menu since the beginning of 2013 and we expect to launch several more tests and next generation sequencing for clinical use by early 2014.  We believe we now have the broadest oncology-focused clinical testing menu in the country, and we are beginning to see increasing interest in our comprehensive genetic capabilities from the pharmaceutical industry."    

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2013 Financial Outlook:

We expect revenue of $17.6-$18.1 million and earnings of $0.01 to $0.02 per share in Quarter 4.  For the full year 2013, we expect revenue to be $65.7-$66.2 million with earnings per share of $0.03 to $0.04.  The Company reserves the right to adjust this guidance at any time based on the ongoing execution of its business plan.  Current and prospective investors are encouraged to perform their own due diligence before buying or selling any of the Company's securities, and are reminded that the foregoing estimates should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance.

Non – GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Definition


"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income from continuing operations before (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation and warrant amortization expense and (v) other extraordinary or non-recurring charges.  NeoGenomics believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a more consistent measurement of operating performance and trends across reporting periods by excluding these cash and non-cash items of expense not directly related to ongoing operations from income.  Adjusted EBITDA also assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. 


Adjusted EBITDA as defined by NeoGenomics is not a measurement under GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.  There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA because they exclude a variety of charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of NeoGenomics recorded costs against its net revenue.  Accordingly, investors should consider non-GAAP results together with GAAP results in analyzing NeoGenomics financial performance.
