Fourth Quarter Revenue Increased 10% to $139 million;

Full Year Revenue Increased 5% to $510 million

FORT MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2023 / NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEO) (the "Company") , a leading provider of oncology testing and global contract research services, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2022 results for the period ended December 31, 2022.

"I am proud of the team's dedication to providing transformative cancer care for patients and providers and of the progress made in the fourth quarter as our organizational changes began to show results and we capped the year off with another sequential quarter of revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA improvement. During the quarter we have been putting the pieces in place to advance the business, primarily focused on our people, culture, strategy and execution," said Chris Smith, Chief Executive Officer.

"We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but I believe we have laid the groundwork for sustainable, long-term profitable growth. I am excited about what 2023 has in store and look forward to sharing our progress."

Fourth Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $139 million, an increase of 10% over the same period in 2021. Clinical Services revenue of $108 million was an increase year-over-year of 4%. Clinical test volume⁽¹⁾ increased by 2% year-over-year. Average revenue per clinical test ("revenue per test") increased by 2% to $389. Pharma Services revenue increased by 41% to $31 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $56.8 million, an increase of 26% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue. Consolidated gross profit margin, including amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets, was 41.0%. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin⁽²⁾, excluding amortization of acquired Inivata developed technology intangible assets, was 44.5%.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $83 million, a decrease of $4 million, or 4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease primarily reflects a reduction in payroll and payroll-related costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and a reduction in legal expenses. This decrease was partially offset by charges related to restructuring which were not included in the same period of 2021, and higher commissions.

Net loss for the quarter was $23 million compared to net loss of $42 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was negative $1.2 million compared to negative $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted Net Loss⁽²⁾ was $7 million compared to Adjusted Net Loss⁽²⁾ of $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $438 million at quarter end.

Full Year Results

Consolidated revenue for 2022 was $510 million, an increase of 5% over 2021. Excluding COVID-19 PCR testing, consolidated revenue increased by 6%. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in average unit price due to strategic reimbursement initiatives and a more favorable test mix in our Clinical Services segment and growth in our Pharma Services segment, primarily due to the timing of project billing. Net loss for 2022 was $144 million compared to net loss of $8 million in 2021. The net loss in 2021 included an $109 million gain on the Company's prior investment in, and loan receivable from, non-consolidated affiliate due to the acquisition of Inivata. Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ for 2022 was negative $48 million compared to negative $4 million in 2021. Adjusted net loss⁽²⁾ for 2022 was $70 million compared to adjusted net loss of $33 million in 2021.

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, net, (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) CEO transition costs, (viii) new headquarters moving expenses, (ix) gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, (x) loss contingency for regulatory matter, (xi) restructuring charges, 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, if applicable in a reporting period, (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) CEO transition costs, (vi) new headquarters moving expenses, (vii) gain on investment in and loan receivable from non-consolidated affiliate, net, (viii) loss contingency for regulatory matter, (ix) restructuring charges, and (x) other significant or non-operating (income) or expenses, net. 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.

GAAP net loss in 2023 will be impacted by certain charges, including: (i) expense related to the amortization of intangible assets, (ii) non-cash stock based compensation and (iii) restructuring charges. These charges have been included in GAAP net loss available to stockholders and GAAP net loss per share; however, they have been removed from adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted net loss per share.
