FT. MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2022 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) (the "Company"), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetic testing services and global oncology contract research services, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2021 results for the period ended December 31, 2021.

"2021 was an eventful year for NeoGenomics as our team successfully navigated a constantly changing environment and took important steps in executing our growth strategy. In 2021, our labs processed almost 1.1 million clinical tests, generated revenue from over 1,000 pharma projects and ended the year with $484 million in consolidated revenue representing 16% year over year growth excluding COVID-19 PCR testing revenue. These are strong results given the extraordinary environment," said Mark Mallon, CEO of NeoGenomics.

"I am proud of the resolve our laboratory, operations, and client service employees showed in 2021 providing excellent care for cancer patients often under very difficult circumstances. During the year we also executed on two highly strategic acquisitions in Inivata and Trapelo Health that we believe will boost our growth in the years ahead.

We are incredibly excited about our market position and the progress we are making across our businesses toward becoming the world's leading cancer testing and information company. The attributes that have made NeoGenomics successful in the past remain and we've added new differentiating capabilities that we expect will strengthen our competitive position."

Fourth Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $126 million was flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding COVID-19 PCR testing, consolidated revenue increased year-over-year by 7%. Clinical Services revenue was $104 million, a decrease of approximately 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding COVID-19 PCR testing, Clinical Services revenue increased year-over-year by 6%. Clinical testing⁽¹⁾ volumes increased by 2% year-over-year. Average revenue per clinical test ("revenue per test") increased by 4% to $383 year-over-year. Pharma Services revenue increased by 13% to $22 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $45.3 million, a decrease of 21.2%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. This decrease was the result of the termination of COVID-19 PCR testing, amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangibles and higher payroll and payroll-related costs. Consolidated gross profit margin, including amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets of $4.9 million, was 36.0%. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin⁽²⁾, excluding amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets, was 39.9%.

Operating expenses increased by $35 million, or 67%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, and included significant operating expenses for the Inivata and Trapelo Health subsidiaries acquired in 2021. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 also included legal expenses for the previously disclosed regulatory matter, higher commissions, higher non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, and payroll and payroll-related costs to support the Company's strategic growth initiatives, including Informatics and Pharma.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $42 million compared to net income of $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was negative $10 million compared to $18 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted net loss⁽²⁾ was $17 million compared to adjusted net income of $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $515 million at quarter end. Days sales outstanding ("DSO") was 82 days at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021.

Full Year Results

Consolidated revenue for 2021 was $484 million, an increase of 9% over 2020. Excluding COVID-19 PCR testing, consolidated revenue increased by 16%. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in clinical testing volumes and growth in our Pharma Services segment, primarily due to an increase in revenue related to research studies and informatics. Net loss for 2021 was $8 million compared to net income of $4 million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ for 2021 was negative $4 million compared to $35 million in 2020. Adjusted net loss⁽²⁾ for 2021 was $33 million compared to adjusted net income of $17 million in 2020.

Operational Updates

In January 2022, Inivata received the CE mark for its RaDaR™ assay for the detection of molecular residual disease and recurrence, having met the requirements of the European In-Vitro Diagnostics Directive (98/79/EC). In addition, Inivata submitted to the MolDX program in the United States for the reimbursement of RaDaR™ for clinical testing. These achievements support the commercialization of RaDaR™ in a clinical setting, both in collaboration with biopharma partners and other collaborators, as well as Inivata's own clinical development program.

In February 2022, Inivata announced clinical validation data for its RaDaR™ liquid biopsy test in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The data from the Liquid BIOpsy for MiNimal RESidual DiSease Detection in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma ("LIONESS") study have been published in the British Journal of Cancer. The study was in collaboration with the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery ("ORL-HNS"), LMU Klinikum, and Institute of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, LMU Munich.

In January 2022, the COVID-19 Omicron variant had a noticeable impact on our Clinical volumes; however, we have seen encouraging signs of recovery in February.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide greater transparency regarding our operating performance, the financial results and financial guidance in this press release refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures that involve adjustments to GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain income and/or expense items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating results and/or certain items that are inconsistent in amounts and frequency, making it difficult to perform a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance. Management believes that the presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors by facilitating the analysis of the Company's core, test-level operating results across reporting periods and when comparing those same results to those published by our peers. These non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in evaluating future prospects. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the business. These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP financial results, should not be considered measures of liquidity, and are unlikely to be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by NeoGenomics as net (loss) income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax (benefit) or expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (v) acquisition and integration related expenses, (vi) write-off of COVID-19 PCR testing inventory and equipment, (vii) new headquarters moving expenses, (viii) gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, (x) loss contingency for regulatory matter, (xi) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (xii) other significant or non-operating (income) or expenses, net.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Cost of Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin

"Adjusted cost of revenue" is defined by NeoGenomics as cost of revenue before: (i) amortization expense of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets, and (ii) the write-off of COVID-19 PCR testing inventory equipment.

"Adjusted gross profit" is defined by NeoGenomics as total revenue less adjusted cost of revenue.

"Adjusted gross profit margin" is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted cost of revenue divided by total revenue.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net (Loss) Income

"Adjusted net (loss) income" is defined by NeoGenomics as net (loss) income from continuing operations plus: (i) non-cash amortization of intangible assets, (ii) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and, if applicable in a reporting period, (iii) acquisition and integration related expenses, (iv) write-off of COVID-19 PCR testing inventory equipment, (v) new headquarters moving expenses, (vi) gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, (vii) loss contingency for regulatory matter, (viii) loss on extinguishment of debt, and (ix) other significant or non-operating (income) or expenses. If GAAP net (loss) income is negative and adjusted net (loss) income is positive, adjusted net (loss) income will also be adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts) on the convertible notes using the if-converted method unless the effect of this adjustment on both the adjusted net (loss) income and weighted average diluted common shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive. If GAAP net (loss) income is positive and adjusted net (loss) income is negative, adjusted net (loss) income will also be adjusted to reverse any recognized interest expense (including any amortization of discounts) on the convertible notes using the if-converted method.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS

"Adjusted diluted EPS" is defined by NeoGenomics as adjusted net (loss) income divided by adjusted diluted shares outstanding. If GAAP net (loss) income is negative and adjusted net (loss) income is positive, adjusted diluted shares outstanding will also include any options or restricted stock that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the convertible notes were converted into common stock on the original issue date based on the number of days such common shares would have been outstanding in the reporting period, until the effect of these adjustments are anti-dilutive. If GAAP net (loss) income is positive and adjusted net (loss) income is negative, adjusted diluted shares outstanding will exclude any options or restricted stock that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the convertible notes were converted into common stock on the original issue date based on the number of days such common shares would have been outstanding in the reporting period.
