Fourth Quarter Results

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $156 million, an increase of 12% over the same period in 2022. Clinical Services revenue of $130 million was an increase year-over-year of 20%. Clinical test volume(1) increased by 6% year-over-year. Average revenue per clinical test (“revenue per test”) increased by 13% to $441. Advanced Diagnostics revenue decreased by 17% to $25 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $67.6 million, an increase of 18.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue. Consolidated gross profit margin, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, was 43.5%. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(2), excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, was 46.7%.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $86 million, an increase of $3 million, or 4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase primarily reflects an increase in professional fees, an increase in payroll and payroll-related costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and an increase in travel expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in recruiting expenses and a decrease in credit card fees.

Net loss for the quarter was $14 million compared to net loss of $23 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) was positive $9 million compared to negative $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted Net Income(2) was $4 million compared to Adjusted Net Loss(2) of $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $415 million at quarter end.

Full Year Results

Consolidated revenue for 2023 was $592 million, an increase of 16% over 2022. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in test volume, a more favorable test mix in our Clinical Services segment, an increase in average unit price due to strategic reimbursement initiatives, and growth in our Advanced Diagnostics segment, primarily due by increased volume and higher billings across its portfolio. Net loss for 2023 was $88 million compared to net loss of $144 million in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(2) for 2023 was positive $3 million compared to negative $48 million in 2022. Adjusted net loss(2) for 2023 was $15 million compared to adjusted net loss of $70 million in 2022.

This press release includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements address various matters, including statements regarding improving operational efficiency, returning to profitable growth and its ongoing executive recruitment process. Each forward-looking statement contained in this press release is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statement. Applicable risks and uncertainties include, among others, the Company's ability to identify and implement appropriate financial and operational initiatives to improve performance, to identify and recruit executive candidates, to continue gaining new customers, offer new types of tests, integrate its acquisitions and otherwise implement its business plan, and the risks identified under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We caution investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. You are encouraged to read our filings with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.

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 income and 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) CEO transition costs, (vii) restructuring costs, and (viii) other significant or non-operating 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 amortization expense of acquired intangible assets.

“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) CEO transition costs, (v) restructuring costs, and (vi) other significant or non-operating 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.
